ATTORNEY GENERAL WISHES SHE HADN'T MET WITH BILL CLINTON
AP ^ | July 1, 2016 | ERIC TUCKER

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Attorney General Loretta Lynch is expressing regret that she sat down with Bill Clinton while his wife is under federal criminal investigation, a chance encounter she acknowledges "cast a shadow" on the public's perception of a case bound to influence the presidential campaign.

"I certainly wouldn't do it again," Lynch said of the meeting.

He KNEW what he was doing.

Intentionally destroying her credibility.

Bubba must of thought that by disqualifying Lynch, it would help Hillary's case?

If he forces her into appointing a special prosecutor which delays the case for months or years it could certainly help her.

Has anyone asked her if this was her first meeting with him? “When was the last time you met with either Bill or Hillary Clinton, or had telephone conversations with either of them, or any other form of correspondence.”

I bet these meetings have been ongoing. We just know about this one because a reporter put his nose to the ground.

Great comment- thanks....

On a more somber note, perhaps, Trey Gowdy will pick it in his next investigation. /sarc suggestion

But Lynch and Clinton go way back. Old buds.

Obama and the Clintons are not exactly buds. They just tolerate each other for political convenience.

Maybe you’re right but at the very least Obama can’t be too happy about Lynch’s private meeting getting exposed. Without a doubt it plays right into Trump’s hands.

She left herself no way out without a vigorous prosecution of Clinton. Anything less will be perceived as corruption.

Yes, that would've been the summary in the old, logical, law-guided world. Here in Bizarro World, it's anybody's guess.

I think he talked about his grandchildren with a big s$!t-eating grin on his face as he watched the wheels spin in her head as she realized that he just destroyed her.

Bubba pwned Lynch.

Yep. What she really means is that she wishes that the meeting had remained secret.

Looks like she has been eating very well on the high side since she was appointed to Head of our Non Justice Department:

We will need a body language expert when Obama & Hillary campaign together next week.

Hmm, this makes me wonder how good the relationship between 0bama and FBI director Comey is.

If Comey is getting ready to make a move against Hillary, this is there way of making it more complicated for the FBI to do so.

I don't know, it's just so complicated.

"I certainly wouldn't do it again," Lynch said of the meeting.

It left a bad taste in her mouth.

In other words, we have an attorney general who doesn’t exercise good judgment.

Yep, I agree. This was planned. Oh and a source let it out of the bag about the two planes being there and a reporter catches it. It was a message, a payoff, threat.

I really don’t see how the FBI will say prosecute and then have Lynch’s people, who have to report to her and then probably Hillary if elected, go ahead and do so.

These people are not stupid. This was planned.

The only way we will know is if he dies in a freak firework accident over the weekend. Then we will know he stuck his nose where it didn’t belong.

Oh B.S. - It was probably planned that some “reporter”
would “report” it to us. - In the end, it will go down
exactly like the Clintons want & Hitler-y will skate.
Lynch will come off smelling like a rose. The “machine”
will go rolling on producing the cash. HITLER-Y is
determined to BE SOMEBODY BIG - preferably in the U.S. or
in the U.N. - whomsoever she has to mow down to do it.
Posterity cannot be deprived of all her many talents;
don’t ya know?

Oh, so NOW she is worried about the “optics”.

Nobody can read it any other way than collusion.

I don’t think it is that complicated. Bubba arranged the whole thing. His schedule is flexible. He knew she would be there and made sure his plane was on the tarmac at the same time. Only so much room to put two high priority planes.

He had his motorcade barge in at just the right time, got out and marched over to her plane before anyone could say a thing. He went in, spent twenty minutes and walked away with her balls in his pocket. Didn’t need to say anything of importance to her.
