Former AG Lynch defends Justice Department and FBI amid Trump criticism
NBC "News" ^ | April 9, 2018 | by Daniel Arkin

Posted on 04/09/2018 11:39:24 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The recent wave of harsh attacks on the Justice Department and its law enforcement arm, the FBI, have been "painful," former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in an exclusive interview set to air Monday.

Lynch, speaking with NBC News' Lester Holt, defended the tens of thousands of people who work for the Justice Department, saying it is "troubling when people question the motivations of dedicated, committed professionals."

Lynch also addressed her chance encounter with former President Bill Clinton in June 2016. She reiterated that the discussions on her plane on a tarmac in Phoenix were purely social, saying the two "talked about innocuous things."

Lynch again insisted she and the former president did not talk about Hillary Clinton, the subject of a Justice Department review over her use of a private email server, or any other criminal investigations.

Instead, Lynch said Bill Clinton told a "long but charming story" about grandchildren. The two also chatted about "issues of the day," such as Brexit.

She again acknowledged that "my speaking to the former president raised concerns in people's minds about whether or not there was going to be any impact on the email investigation."

That's why, as Lynch said in July 2016 testimony before Congress, she announced after the encounter that she would accept her investigative team's recommendation about charges against Hillary Clinton.

Will Lynch be under oath when she talks to Holt?

No comment is necessary here. Trumpie, get Sessions to place Democrat, low life, “Alice-in-Wonderland”, Loretta Lynch in cuffs and the orange suit, along with Obama, Clinton, Biden, Comey, McCabe, Mueller, Holder, Brennan, Clapper, etc., etc....put ‘em in jail, and throw away the jail cell keys forever.

They are 100% traitors and turncoats to this magnificent free country

Did anyone ever ask if anything was exchanged, like maybe a CD, or a thumb drive, between the two while they were small-talking about grandchildren?

There is no doubt that most of the DoJ is committed and dedicated to building a commie-fa Utopia.

The only believers are flatlining. Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.

They'll need a car boot and a tent to accomplish this feat.

If it was oh so innocent, why’d they try and hide the meeting? It was only by accident that a local reporter spotted them on the tarmac. Without that, we’d never even know about this event.

Heard a pre-emptive denial would be forthcoming from Lynch as the release of actual information grows near.

Of course, she is not under oath while so bloviating.

How very self-serving of her.

No doubt she fervently believes that her silly CYA tactics will prevent her from being indicted, tried, convicted, and sent to Club Fed...

If not, then step 2 will be to play the woman card and the race card.

When that doesn't work, look for her to either:

Does Loretta Lynch understand that people are NOT questioning the motivations of dedicated, committed professionals who work for the Justice Department.

People ARE questioning the motives of a few, highly placed political appointees, such as herself.

She is trying to change the subject, is she not? Is Lester helping her?
