Lynch knew better. Clinton knew better. And the FBI agents traveling with her knew better. This is basic ‘prosecutor 101’ stuff...
Hard to believe that Lynch, head of DOJ, was traveling without aide-de-camp or whatever that title is. Even for a speaking engagement she would have someone along to field phone calls, emails, calendar, all the things a high level administrative assistant takes care of, as well as being a sounding board.
Such a person, presumably a lawyer, would have physically blocked old Bill at the plane hatch and said, “ No and hell no, you are not boarding the plane, you are not seeing or speaking to the Atty General period, full stop!” and ordered the AG FBI protection agents to prevent access and physically escort Bill back to where he came from.
It beggars belief that Bill merely strolled over unannounced via phone or underling approaching Lynch’s security entourage. That first point of contact should have been a shoving match between protective details with guns drawn by Lynch’s people.
Had any DOJ atty. had such an unscheduled contact with a potential defendant, that contact would have been immediately written up for file and an immediate face to face meeting with next tier up official. Where are Lynch’s memo to file, memo to her boss, the POTUS?
Show us the paper!
