Hillary Clinton is considering retaining Loretta Lynch as Attorney General if she wins the presidency, according to a report from The New York Times.
Picking Lynch as a holdover from the Obama administration would help Clintons stated goal of making her cabinet gender-equal. But the choice would likely prove controversial given that Lynch is the ultimate arbiter in the Justice Departments investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information on Clintons private email server.

Thanks Loretta, and your legs are fatter than mine. -hil.
This explains *everything* ...carry on peons...nothing will change.
We have reached the point where government corruption is done openly, with no fear of punishment.
Nah, Lynch will get a post at the Clinton Foundation and jet all over the world making speeches arranged by Bill for oodles of money.
That is a nice scenario, but BC could have done that all on his own, or HC could have sabotaged her own campaign with one lousy interview, without any help from LL.
The salient fact is that BC and LL agreed to meet on the sly, taking the chance of any number of different fallouts, and almost all of the MSM press was in the dark for a couple of days.
At their word, even if only grandkids were discussed during the meeting, it still leaves an appearance of impropriety that at least nominally they both took a very big chance about. The big unmentioned elephant in the jet would have been the investigation. It would have come up in both of their minds at the first awkward pause in the 30 minute conversation and every awkward pause after that until the end. Both knew meeting was against legal conventions (if not rules). both knew the downside risk of aborting HC’s run for the presidency. Additionally LL must have realized that she was putting her reputation in at least some risk, and her professional future at least some downside risk.
I looked at
NY Rules of Professional Conduct

from presumably LL’s state bar.
However, I could not find any particular rule of professional conduct that seemed to apply.
Perhaps there is a rule governing the actions of federal AGs?
This sounds like bribery to me. To even bring this up at this time is extremely suspicious and STUPID, Hillary!
All of a sudden, Hussein has endorsed her and is going to campaign with her, and Bill is having private meetings with Loretta.
Lynch's response about being able to lock the door says Bubba may have gotten kicked when tried to hump her (huge) leg.
It’s not just you.
If you're listening Barry and Valerie, just remember:
"A few years ago, this guy would have been gettin' us coffee."
Some people never learn. Hillary owns all of the alphabet agencies. Not one agency looks out for the American people. The are there strictly to serve and protect the ruling class.
Exactly right! Bttt

Obama doesn’t seem worried about Comey. Does he know that Comey is on board, or does he just have confidence that any opposition from Comey can be brushed aside? The media attack dogs can be called on to give him the Ken Starr treatment if necessary.
