This explanation of the meeting is as good or better than most I’ve seen.

In a nutshell, it was pre-arranged, it was supposed to be kept secret, Lynch needed to convey the message to Shrillary that she could give Hillary the Petraeus slap on the wrist for the mishandling of classified information, but Lynch could NOT give Shrillary a pass should Shrillary perjure herself in the FBI interview.

I hope Congress calls Lynch up to the Hill to answer some tough questions about the meeting. Lynch has put her integrity and her career on the line. Someone needs to find out why.

You are wrong. They work for the Elites. You and I are not Elite.

You have accept that there are two classes of people the ruling class and the “workers”.

We have given up the power our forefathers left for us.This is displayed by our lack of holding these people accountable by force if nessacary.

Quit denying the obvious. Life is easier once you face reality.

Lynch probably gave Billy Boy a summary of what the FBI had on them so Clinton had time to fabricate her answers.

Look up Loretta Lynch’s history.

She has already put Democrat politicians in prison.

You may be right. On this fine 4th of July, we should remember that the colonists demanded their independence the unfair treatment from the government of the time.

“This account appears to be backed by leaks that suggest Lynch’s FBI escort was surprised and upset by the encounter — not only because it presents inherent security problems when two groups of heavily armed agents approach each other without a prearranged plan, but because as FBI agents they understood that the encounter at least appeared improper.”

So surprised that the reporter who got the tip was supposedly told he couldn’t take any pictures by the FBI on the scene. OK then.

Just speculating, but it would seem that if Shrillary goes down, there’s the potential she’ll take a whole lot of Rat kahunas down with her, even going to the very top. The political fallout will be unprecedented.

As the presumed nominee, Shrillary still has power. Without that, she has no usefulness.

They are all playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse.

There has been more than one reference to “Game of Thrones.”

LOL! So, the “interview” was only supposed to take about an hour but maybe someone suggested they stretch it to 3+ hours to make it look like they were really, really serious.

In his new book Crisis of Character: A White House Secret, Gary Bryne tells about another secret service agent’s private encounter with the GodFather, Bill Clinton, during the testimony hearings, starting on page 166-167.

Clinton approached the agent and after some small talk, he asked the agent how his wife and kids were…...They had never actually talked before.

“Nothing about that was normal. It was obviously a subtle form of intimidation. The president was sending a message that he knew of the officer’s recent testimony,---and perhaps was sending a more sinister message.”

"Former President Bill Clinton, doing his best Boss Hogg impersonation, rendezvoused with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the middle of the scorching Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport tarmac to discuss “grandchildren, golf, family” and of course his “wife’s” possible indictment for violating a couple hundred national security statutes."

I fervently pray that I am wrong. But, if the past is any indication of the future, that is the way it will turn out. My advice would be to make Peace with God and prepare for Plan B, or C.

So Lynch’s meeting with Clinton was not only to deliver news of the investigation’s status, but to warn him -- and so Hillary -- not to trap herself in the forthcoming FBI interview. In other words, for Hillary to go against all instincts and try to tell the truth, or as much of it as possible, lest the FBI catch her out and solidify an obstruction case against her too.
There's the "key" way down at the bottom of the article.

The more I look at that photo, the more I’m convinced that the Secret Service guy is gesturing to the photographer.

‘In other words, Loretta handed the Witch a status report so she could prepare a crib sheet in order to better fudge her answers to the FBI’s questions and ultimately skate on anything more serious than a slap on the wrist.”

****************

That is quite probably what the meeting was all about. The objective was to prep the Hildabeast so that she can avoid being surprised by any questions. And we all know how she hates and avoids unscripted situation.

After Hillary skates, the frustrated and disgruntled FBI team will promptly receive glowing agency awards and/or promotions for the ‘outstanding integrity’ of their investigative work. (Trust me, that’s how they do it in bureaucracies.) This will discourage any exposures or leaks from personnel who may fell that the process was railroaded, which of course it was.

If the author is correct about the meeting being prearranged for Lynch to spill the beans to Slick Willy, could it be that the FBI would then go after Lynch? Is that possible?

Lynch is loyal... it’s possible Obama sent her on the trip to meet with Clinton.

They met on the RAMP, an area of an airport upon which aircraft park and taxi. NOT the "tarmac."

Tarmac (short for tarmacadam) is a type of road surfacing material patented by Edgar Purnell Hooley in 1901. The term is also used, with varying degrees of correctness, for a variety of other materials, including tar-grouted macadam, bituminous surface treatments, and modern asphalt concrete.

The term is also often improperly used to describe airport aprons, "ramps", and runways. Sheesh.

Why hasn’t Barry fired her a%&?

Could it be that the fact that the media, republicans etc. have not held him accountable?

Whatever it was it had to be said in person with no email trail, text trail...no trace. That tells you all you need to know.

Also making sure that there were no bugs in the walls, no telescopic microphones. If I were the FBI investigators I would wonder if the AG was conspiring against my investigation. What could be so important that it required a top level face to face meeting?

I have to believe that it was an ambush by Clinton to make a direct threat to Lynch. Or maybe an offer of a supreme court position or other reward for Lynch if she finesses the investigation. This was orchestrated by Bill not Lynch.
