Democrats aren't happy about the "wrong signal" telegraphed by a private meeting between Attorney General Loretta Lynch — who's overseeing the probe into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server — and Bill Clinton.
In a rare rebuke of the presumptive nominee by a member of her own party, Delaware Democratic Sen. Chris Coons sharply criticized the meeting between the prosecutor and former president.
"I don't think it sends the right signal," he tells CNN's "New Day" program in an interview Thursday. "I think she should have steered clear even of a brief, casual, social meeting with the former president."
David Axelord, a former adviser to both Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, was even more pointed, calling the meeting "foolish."
Lynch has explained she and the former president talked about grandchildren, and described the meeting as "primarily social."
She also denied discussion the email probe or House Benghazi panel's investigation, which was released the day after their meeting.
Another ex-adviser to Bill Clinton, pollster Doug Schoen, tells Fox News the former president "was in his own way taking the temperature of the attorney general, not alleging that there was any impropriety."
But, he adds, "given the timing, this was a meeting that probably best shouldn't have been held."
Coons, as well, said he thinks Lynch "has generally shown excellent judgment and strong leadership of the department, and I'm convinced that she's an independent attorney general."
"But I do think that this meeting sends the wrong signal," he asserted.
Two other top Democrats rushed to Lynch's defense.
"No one can ever question [Lynch's] strong feelings about the rule of the law. And her ethics, I repeat, are the best," declared Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, Politico reports.

Would he have been using a rectal thermometer?
They got caught ..
Nothing to see here
0bama sent the signal he wanted to send. He’s above the law,
Hillary is his replacement and there’s nothing anyone can
do about it. Get on board or get run over, the 0bama bus has iron tires.
Amusing - the only signal that really matters is the one Bubba sent to Lynch.
Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton are as dirty as two low life vermin politicians can get!!! These two “criminal” buffoons set this gig up trying to make it look like a chance meeting. The entire charade/escapade was set up an planned long before it ever happened!!! American voters get dumber with each passing day!!! Go figure!!!
Trump could get some good traction out of this!
He thinks he is and but he is in the middle of a conflict that he is going to lose badly. This seals his fate,
Well, they couldn’t do it by email anymore!
“Doug Schoen, tells Fox News the former president “was in his own way taking the temperature of the attorney general, not alleging that there was any impropriety.””
So that’s what they’re calling Slick’s sexual adventures now, “taking the temperature of the attorney general?” Wouldn’t a rectal thermometer do a better job! No wonder they “met” on a third plane. BTW, I guess Slick has really “hit the bottom of the barrel for partners.”
Corruption, corruption, corruption.
I checked my Thesaurus and can't find "foolish" listed as a synonym of "conspiracy" or "obstruction".
Hey loretta, better put some ice on that...
That’s alright, they’re getting away with it anyway.
Why I put the lying liberal Republican Senator Kirk in my rant, this is why!

Maybe they want the special prosecutor so he can investigate for 6 years..
BillyBob,like Letterman,likes 'em a lot younger than Loretta.This wasn't about sex...it was about power and money.And possibly prison as well.
Jay Sekulow said his group would file something soon, he said she needs, per the law, to recuse herself immediately from the Clinton proceedings.
I was listening in the car to Rush Limbaugh. He mentioned Loretta Lynch has no children. They discussed grandchildren?
But wait...maybe only Bill’s grandchildren.
;)
Coons’ only slightly worried about the ‘visuals’, the Bearded Marxist is all on board with Obama program.
