Lynch says tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton was 'regrettable'

Published December 18, 2016 FoxNews.com

Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Sunday said she “regretted” her controversial tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton this summer while the FBI was still investigating Hillary Clinton’s use of a secret server for her emails during her tenure as secretary of state.

While Lynch has never portrayed the June 27 Phoenix meeting as anything other than a cordial encounter, the lengthy tete-a-tete onboard Lynch’s plane immediately raised questions about whether she – or the Justice Department – could be impartial in the Hillary Clinton investigation. Just days later, FBI Director James Comey called Hillary Clinton’s actions “extremely careless” but declined to recommend charges.

Does she regret turning a blind eye to the electors getting death threats?

The tarmac meeting was not the key matter.

Long before the tarmac meeting, Lynch and her subordinates had already “fixed” the investigation into the Clintons by denying the FBI use of a grand jury allowing them to subpoena evidence, denying them use of search and seizure warrants, granting immunity agreements to Hillary’s staff with nothing in return, pretending Mills and Samuelson were Hillary’s “lawyers” when they acted as principals in their own conduct in the emails, and denying FBI field offices a request for investigatory tools into the Clinton Foundation, among other things.

The tarmac meeting was probably nothing more than a discussion of what Lynch would be rewarded with in a Clinton administration, such as a Supreme Court appointment.

......how did those crafty Russians got Lynch to meet secretly with Bill when
Hillary was under investigation by her department?.........

The buzz is Loretta's detail told her the ex-pres had just invested in a "Jiffy
Lube" franchise and wanted her advice on the deal. The helpful Loretta
puckered up and said, "Sure, I'll give Bill a little lube."

===========================================

Those crafty Russians even hacked Google maps and made Democratic strongholds like UAW unions halls look like Chick-fil-a restaurants. The Ruskis knew no loyal Democrat would be caught dead in a Chick Fil A.

Regrettable? They did all they could to keep it secret. An ethical person would have resigned.

Give her a complimentary ‘I’m With Her’ t-shirt while she gets the boot in about a month.

Yeah, throw in a "She Did IT!" t-shirt as well.

NOW Loretta Lynch says it was “regrettable”. If one looks back, it was a big piece of the decline of the probability of actually achieving the office of the Presidency, that Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless, went through on the way to oblivion.

But if Herself HAD achieved the Oval Office, Loretta Lynch would have been beyond prosecution for all time.

I think this meeting drove Comey to pipe up about the new emails, sealing her fate. I also think Arpaio was the tip-off to the ABC affiliate, having ears amongst the ground crew when it happened.

We expect a government of our 'best and brightest', especially in these very sensitive posts like the Attorney General of the United States. So either she had a stupid attack or this was a 'bright moment' that got her out of the hot seat. Either case she abused her office and is now insulting our intelligence on top of that. If you just wanted to have a 'friends & family' talk, why do it behind closed doors without a record?

We’re the deplorables and they’re the regrettables. Big difference. Very distinguishable.

I want to know how those crafty Russians got Lynch to meet secretly like that with Bill when Hillary was under investigation by her department

Yeah Loretta!

What exactly were the results of that "investigation"?

I want to know how those crafty Russians got Lynch to meet secretly... with Bill ...

Me too...

Those Russians are amazing ... Did they put the plane Lynch and Clinton met on on the tarmac? Did Russians hold back our FBI and Secret Service Agents who were kept OFF the plane for the private meeting about "grand children'?

HERE'S MY THEORY: Democrat elites think citizens are as stupid and gullible as reporters at the New York Times and Washington Post.

If they do, they are wrong.
