Surprise! FBI Finds 30 Pages On Clinton-Lynch Tarmac Meeting
Hot Air ^ | 14 Oct 2017 | Ed Morrissey

It’s always in the last place you look, right? For more than a year, the FBI and Department of Justice insisted that they have no documentation from the country’s most famous discussion of grandchildren. On Thursday, the FBI and DoJ notified Judicial Watch that they may have some documentation after all — as much as 30 pages — relating to the Bill Clinton-Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting that immediately preceded the FBI’s decision not to recommend action against Hillary Clinton over the exposure of thousands of classified items

udicial Watch was informed yesterday by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that the FBI has located 30 pages of documents related to the June 27, 2016, tarmac meeting between former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton, and proposes non-exempt material be produced no later than November 30, 2017 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:16-cv-02046)). …

The FBI originally informed Judicial Watch they did not locate any records related to the tarmac meeting. However, in a related case, the Justice Department located emails in which Justice Department officials communicated with the FBI and wrote that they had communicated with the FBI. As a result, by letter dated August 10, 2017, from the FBI stated, “Upon further review, we subsequently determined potentially responsive documents may exist. As a result, your [FOIA] request has been reopened…”

(Surprisingly, the Trump Justice Department refuses to disclose the talking points developed by the Obama Justice Department to help it respond to press inquiries about the controversial June 27, 2016, tarmac meeting between Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.)

The discovery does raise questions as to the FBI’s first representation to the court. They asserted under oath that no documents existed relating to the Lynch-Clinton tarmac meeting.

The size of the find seems curious, too. Granted, field reports tend to be detailed and verbose, but does it take 30 pages to document a supposedly impromptu meeting entirely focused on personal chit-chat, as Lynch and Bill Clinton later characterized it? That seems to indicate that the meeting was more substantial than advertised, and that again raises questions as to why the FBI couldn’t find thirty pages of documents related to it without the DoJ’s inadvertent disclosure in another case.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~They should ask Comey about this

It appears that the DOJ is the deepest part of the swamp.

Better yet! It will take over 45 days to respond to the request for 30 pages??? This game has overstayed its welcome.

30 pages!! That must have been an incredibly long conversation. I don’t say enough in a whole day to fill 30 pages.

1. Does the FBI keep records on every conversation held by Bill Clinton and/or Loretta Lynch? Or on every conversation on a plane? If not, the major question here is why did they decide to keep records on this one. Obviously there was something “problematic” with it.

2. This was a major news story for a long period of time, is very recent, and is still (at least on conservative outlets) a current issue. The notion that they couldn’t find the documentation is patently ridiculous.

3. My best guess is that they used the time to create something they thought would be credible, yet not incriminating. (Surprise me by showing me I’m wrong, please.)

4. I am quite confident that the statute of limitations has not run out on the many crimes committed by all the players in this travesty. Indict now.

Will everything be redacted except the words “and”, “the”, and “a”?

Comey’s “Watch”. This could be the documents that sink his credibility like the Titanic, and that of Lynch, too.

Coming to a Grand Jury near you soon, “Titanic II” starring James Comey, Loretta Lynch with a special guest appearance, Barack Obama.

Get your tickets early. They’re gonna be an Ebay special some day.

Sessions will have to get back to you on that. On the door to his office it says “Out to lunch”. It’s said that since January 20th 2017.

The president needs to tell DOJ to get on it.

I’d be interested in the pilot/ground control radio conversations between the Clinton and Lynch pilots and the airport traffic controllers.
