Of course Bill Clinton arranged the meeting to influence the investigation of Hillary, even if only grandchildren, travel and golf were discussed.
What do you call an Attorney General who meets privately with the husband of a person under FBI investigation, and only discloses it when asked?
Loretta Lynch.
This is the last straw for me, when it comes to Lynch.
I opposed my former law school classmate's nomination because her congressional testimony indicated she would be too political. Events have confirmed my fears, from suggestions that "hate speech" might be prosecutable, to the threat to sue people who disagree with the administration on climate change, her political grandstanding on the North Carolina bathroom law, to the attempt to edit out references to Islam and ISIS from the 911 transcript of the Orlando terrorist.
None of that is quite as outrageous as the news today that Lynch met privately with Bill Clinton at the Phoenix airport for 30 minutes, a meeting that was revealed only when a local news crew asked her about it at a press conference. ABC15 reports:
Amid an ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of email and hours before the public release of the Benghazi report, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately with former President Bill Clinton.The private meeting took place on the west side of Sky Harbor International Airport on board a parked private plane.
Former President Clinton was visiting the Phoenix area and arrived to Sky Harbor Monday evening to depart.
Sources tell ABC15 Clinton was notified Lynch would be arriving at the airport soon and waited for her arrival.
Lynch was arriving in Phoenix for a planned visit as part of her national tour to promote community policing.
ABC15 asked Lynch about the meeting during her news conference at the Phoenix Police Department.
"I did see President Clinton at the Phoenix airport as he was leaving and spoke to myself and my husband on the plane," said Lynch.
The private meeting comes as Lynch's office is in charge of the ongoing investigation and potential charges involving Clinton's email server.
The private meeting also occurred hours before the Benghazi report was released publicly involving Hillary Clinton and President Obama’s administration.
Lynch said the private meeting on the tarmac did not involve these topics.
"Our conversation was a great deal about grandchildren, it was primarily social about our travels and he mentioned golf he played in Phoenix," said Lynch Tuesday afternoon while speaking at the Phoenix Police Department.
Sources say the private meeting at the airport lasted around 30 minutes.
"There was no discussion on any matter pending before the Department or any matter pending with any other body, there was no discussion of Benghazi, no discussion of State Department emails, by way of example I would say it was current news of the day, the Brexit decision and what it would mean," she said.
Neither Lynch nor Bill Clinton are dummies. They both know that such a private meeting creates the appearance of impropriety regardless of what was discussed. Bill Clinton's wife is being investigated by the FBI - why do you think he dropped in for a chat with Lynch?
Of course they didn't discuss the case. They didn't need to.
If there was no appearance of impropriety, why did Lynch wait until a local news crew, apparently tipped off, asked her about it?
It feeds a narrative of the Clintons acting like the fix is in, with Hillary repeatedly bragging that there is no way she's going to be indicted.
There are reasons one doesn’t do certain things. Appearance is the least of the reasons. BTW Loretta is a founding Sorority sister of whom?

She’s not going to do anything to hurt her friends
And every time they get away with something like this it encourages them to push even farther next time. There is no accountability any longer. 17A broke the Senate's role in preserving the Constitution. It is now impossible to convict upon impeachment so why bother to impeach?
Remember when the mere appearance of impropriety was enough to get you fired? Not so much now. About that board of directors position on the clintoon crime foundation enterprise.
He helping Loretta set-up a global charity so they can make the first “donation.”
I hope Trump wins but we have to be real. I don’t think it’s possible to fix this stuff. Our government is hopelessly corrupt.
I do not think the Democrats care about appearances anymore. Corruption is accepted.
Lynch denied discussing "the case". She didn't deny discussing the subject.
Does there need to be any more proof of the absolute corruption of this administration and The District of Corruption in general?
Trust the government - - - I don’t think so!
A Ceausescu moment awaits ALL ‘RATs.
Ex-Clinton staffer, appointed by Clinton to the New York Distict. Old friends just catching up!
Bill and Hill have laid out their pathway to long into the future with their hooks in everything. I’m beginning to think there’s no stopping them, up and past the election. I think they’d find a way to win whether or not Trump gets landslide votes.
The corruption is beyond hope, our collective goose are cooked.
If this planes a rockin’, don’t bother knockin’.
Judge Napolitano was a big supporter of Loretta Lynch when she was nominated for Attorney General.
Evidence of affirmative action.
Anything less than a full indictment by the DOJ will be interpreted as corruption...
It sounds to me as if the Clintons aren’t 100% certain that Obama and Lynch have her backside covered. That’s very interesting. Why doesn’t Hillary trust Obama? Lynch is Obama’s puppet; she is at DOJ to do Obama’s bidding and nothing else.
Let’s get something very clear, politicians do not meet on a private jet in an isolated spot at an airport to discuss their grandchildren! No. Hillary is worried.
Very interesting.
***The private meeting comes as Lynch’s office is in charge of the ongoing investigation and potential charges involving Clinton’s email server.***
Did ABC finally admit that Hillary is under federal investigation and not just undergoing a security review? There are potential charges? Won’t this news surprise many of Hillary’s supporters? Not that anything will come of it. This is just business as usual for the corrupt Clintons.
And let us not forget the Republican Senators who voted for this hate filled idiot.
Even Politico has covered it.
