Page 62,63 OIG Report

The OIG asked Lynch if she instructed or told Comey, “I want you to call it a 
matter.” Lynch said that she did not and would not have, because that was not 
how she spoke to people. She told the OIG that she remembered saying the 
following at the meeting:

Well I, I do remember saying, you know, we typically say we have 
enough resources to handle the matter.... I don’t know if I used other 
words like the case, you know, the inquiry, or something like that. But 
I do remember saying that, and I think I may have been saying that 
because, again, I was always careful not to talk about an investigation. 
I was getting questioned about the referral...and is it going to lead to 
an investigation and, you know, we have it, we acknowledge it, we’re 
going to handle it. And that’s all I can say kind of thing.

And so I know that in addition to saying...yes, everyone knows there’s 
an investigation. They don’t need us to tell them that. They need us 
to confirm it, and we don’t do that. And here’s why we don’t do that. 
I remember making those statements. And I remember saying but of 
course you’ve got to...respond. And one way to respond is just to 
say...you’ve got what you need to handle the matter.

Lynch recalled Toscas making a joke about the “Federal Bureau of Matters” 
to one of the agents who was sitting beside him, and people laughing. She said 
that she took this as a joke, as good-natured “ribbing” or “teasing,” and that the 
laughter told her that others in attendance also took it as a joke.[/quote]
