Top Senate Dems defend Lynch-Clinton meeting

Two of the Senate's top Democrats are defending a private meeting between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton this week.

"She's an honorable person. We know that," Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), expected to be the next Senate Democratic leader, told reporters on Thursday. "She has said nothing was discussed related to the investigation so you have two choices: To say this didn't matter or she's lying. I think it didn't matter. I don't think she's lying."

"All I can say is Loretta Lynch is one of the most outstanding human beings I've ever known," Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said.

"No one could ever question her, her strong feelings about the rule of law and her ethics — I repeat — are the best," he added.

Their comments come after Lynch and Clinton met in Arizona, hours before the House Benghazi Committee released a report on the 2012 terror attacks in Libya. Lynch told reporters that they didn't discuss the issue.

The most basic of the Canons of Ethics for attorneys: avoid the appearance of impropriety.

It certainly does not seem likely that they just happened to run into each other . . . in separate planes.

I hope Trump makes a huge deal about this. Our weak kneed congress surely won’t. Lynch needs to recuse or be removed from office. This was a very serious breach.

The fact that these two criminals even commented on it, is telling. Especially Reid. Every breath he takes is a lie waiting to exhale.

The only way this is not a scandal is if she was using bubba to broker a plea. I would urge her to take the deal even if it includes hanging. It would be better than what will happen to her when the end comes.

Now get this. Can Obama fire Lynch for this, thus delaying any charges or Grand Jury inquiries.

Was that the plan? I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.

She does not grasp the power nor the attitudes of those who are opposing her and this gov’t. There is no savior coming to bail them out.

Yeah, right.

Absolutely. But let’s say Joe works bottom up. Goes after the owner of the private aircraft as aiding and abetting a conspiracy, which I am guessing is a violation of state law.

Beat the grass to startle the snake. Get details from that person on how the meeting was set up, who called who, etc.

And technically any person can bring a civil RICO action.

Sheriff Joe brings a civil RICO case against the Clintons, Obamas and their enablers...

If Schumer and Reid say Lynch is honorable
then it’s a lead pipe cinch that Lynch is a lying
arrogant sold out Kool Aid guzzling POS.

Why a face to face meeting. Either there is some kind of shoe drop information to be passed or it was meant to be seen.

Being seen together gives the impression of impropriety. There will be calls for a independent prosecutor. Hillary can stand out front and claim her innocence and join the chorus. All the FBI’so work will be turned over to a political hacking the investigation starts all over.

In 5 years they won’t find anything and close the case.
