Gross appearance of impropriety in AG Lynch private meeting with Bill Clinton
Legal Insurrection ^ | June 29, 2016 | William A. Jacobson

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.

You Freepers better stop thinking what you're thinking ... and don't ask why Obozo's stooge needs a private jet ... and don't laugh when we both say that we were only discussing grandchildren, junkets and golf ... and always remember, when the plane's a rockin' don't come knockin'!

The case wasn’t discussed.

How do we know?

Because she said so.

There’s no longer any need to hide corruption. What the media can’t hide or spin essentially passes unnoticed.

“”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.””

So, while she was on the plane she spoke to herself and to her husband? That’s what the quote above amounts to her having said, does it not?

‘appearance’ only?

This is the usual criminal end-run the Clinton's have been up to since anyone EVER heard of them.

The worthless MSM just sits there deaf, dumb and blind to the improprieties, irregularities and abjectly criminal conduct

Say, lala, does the name Vince Foster ring a bell? By the way, how’s the grand kids? We know where they go to school.

When she is not indicted we can refer to that as the “Phoenix Fix”.

The media, as expected is defending this. Charlie Rose, Gayle and Norduh on CBS this morning thought it was totally acceptable.

Trump gets constant, and I mean constant media criticism, Hillary gets none. Are they (the media) embarrassed, nope, they are TONE DEAF.

They live in a PC/Liberal biased vacuum. Boy are they going to have a breakdown when Trump wins.

To be fair, only Trump can get this in the headlines. Otherwise, the story dies. He has to mention it in a press conference as an example of why the Clintons must not be voted back in and rather, should be indicted.

We might be a few moves behind in this chess game. We assume it was about the FBI investigation...they probably cleared that up months ago. They probably met to discuss Hillary’s campaign strategy.

Nice airplane you’ve got here. It’d be a shame if anything happened to it...in flight.

Agree. Who will hold them to account?

FWIW, FoxBiz’ Stuart Varney and Judge Nap both agree Lowretta should recuse herself from anything to do with Hellary’s investigation, going forward.
