Lynch is no fool, and knew that if the meeting got out it would look bad, but she didn’t care, as it was more important to impart the information. They are “in your face” crooked.
My take. Lynch already knows what the FBI's decision is. DOJ has been an integral part of the investigation working with the FBI gathering evidence and conducting interviews.
This meeting was orchestrated so Lynch could say that she would accept the decision of the FBI and DOJ career personnel. Thus, when the decision comes out not to prosecute Hillary, Lynch can play Pontius Pilate. Clinton and Lynch both knew the reaction to the meeting. It is all a charade to fool the public. The message: The decision not to prosecute was apolitical.
Correct. They will lay it off on the assistant AG and the guy in charge of the unit in justice overseeing the investigation. They are both Obama appointees to their current posts, each in for less than two years. The male is described by Joe DiGenova as “very political”, the female is a standard lib busily releasing drug offenders as started by Holder.

You could be on to something. This meeting is just so foolish on many levels.
