Attorney General Loretta Lynch described her Monday meeting with Bill Clinton aboard a private plane as primarily social, but even Democrats are struggling to stomach the optics of the attorney generals meeting with the former president while his wife is under federal investigation.
Lynch said she and Clinton talked only of grandchildren, golf, and their respective travels, but the fact that the two spoke privately at all was enough to rekindle concerns about a possible conflict of interest. Republicans have long called into question the ability of a Democratic-led Department of Justice to conduct an independent investigation into Hillary Clintons use of a private email server, based inside her Chappaqua, New York, home, during her tenure as secretary of state.
Once news of their meeting on the tarmac at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport broke, Democrats made clear that while the meeting was likely as innocent as Lynch described, it did not give the Justice Department the appearance of independence.

Can’t believe Trump hasn’t blasted this meeting yet- maybe he’ll mention in NH today.

Actually, they don't care what we think. The GOP Congress has demonstrated its total acquiescence and support for Obama’s regime. Ryan and McConnell will not do anything and the DOJ is completely corrupt so any law enforcement action is blocked. The only wild card is Trump who is facing the alliance of the Rats, the fringe Left, the GOP leadership and a fair number of international leaders.

They may groan but they will also forgive and forget.
As long as it is not on ABC NBC CBS CNN nightly it never happened

Phoenix isn’t that the city that the Fast and Furious gun was purchased in that was used in the Paris ISIS attack? Maybe the had plans to meet at the gun range and it was just TOO HOT to shot!

How did they get clearance to get access to the tarmac? --
General Aviation side of the property. It's different on that side.

They are and are outgunned, outflanked and outnumbered. The media will have no choice to report the events as are and soon.

Aboard a Private Plane? What was it, a Cessna 150?
It was most likely a Taxpayer funded G450 with a properly stocked Wet Bar.
WTH is the USAG doing in Phoenix? Not enough work in D.C. for her?
Trump has a Private Plane. Government Employees do not.

This has enough stench and exposure that the meeting will be mentioned. The message will be that there is no proof of any influence, and appearance of impropriety is evidence that the whole affair is a Republican witch hunt.
After that, down the rabbit hole.
