That is true, however if the FBI and comey present the case, as there increasingly expected to do, then Lynch will have to pursue charges or gear up for impeachment proceedings if the Republican take that route correct?
This is where I'm uneducated on the matter. With a majority in the house and senate, could the Republicans proceed with impeachment if this is the case?

In another less ambiguous time, questions about whether a US Attorney General had failed to do his or her duty would have been much more clearly defined. Wherefore, since we now live in the day of doublespeak, the Congress has shown to be a little gun shy about impeachments. I mean, how does one Lois Lerner not get charged, and how does the sitting AG escape without so much as a slap on the wrist? But yes, the Congress has the Constitutional power to impeach high office holders up to and including the President for certain derelictions, crimes and misdemeanors.

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
