'And, as I said, my greatest concern has always been making sure that people understand that the Department of Justice works in a way that is independent and looks at everybody equally,' she continued.

Lynch said that she didn't like that her actions may have caused people to think otherwise.

'It was painful for me, and so I felt it was important to clarify it as quickly and as clearly and as cleanly as possible,' she said.

Bubba blindsided her to compromise her. She never saw it coming.

[gundog]

Put some ice on it, toots.

[realcleanguy]

It was unethical. She should not have met with him

[CincyRichieRich]

lock her up.

[Paladin2]

Why is she defending herself now?

[Wally_Kalbacken]

DID SHE REGRET THE MEETING OR DID SHE REGRET THAT THE FACT OF THE MEETING BECAME KNOWN?

[howlinhound]

It was most likely the GETTING CAUGHT that she found painful.

[Thibodeaux]

the discussion lasted a long time because she wouldn’t accept the paltry initial bribe. Ordinary Black preachers get more than she was offered

[Dilbert San Diego]

Well Loretta, what does this say about your judgment, about your professionalism??? If it was such a bad idea why did you do it??? You didn’t realize how it would look?? Well then that comes back to, what about your professional judgment or lack thereof, doesn’t it????

he wanted his wife to lose?

[txhurl]

So he muddied the water for HRC?

Why is she even admitting this? Is Sessions about to clamp down on her? On McCain? Graham? Bringing up the REAL reasons HRC lost the election is hardly helpful within this Russian narrative, so WHY?

Only reason she’d toss it out there I can see is to get ahead of an offensive firing up against her. She told her FBI on the tarmac not to allow ANY recording or photos of the meeting. It wasn’t just a bump-up-against, it was scheduled.

I just checked my Thesaurus and didn't find “painful” listed as a synonym for "felonious".

[Vince Ferrer]

Why is she defending herself now?

She is going to be out of office now, and was expecting Hillary to be president for the next eight years, till the statute of limitations ran out.

She’s a liar, just like everyone else associated with the 0bama administration and the 0bama/Clinton democrat party. She knew exactly what she was doing, she just didn’t think she’d get caught. I doubt it was a coincidence that Clinton said that she’d keep Lynch as AG if she were to be elected.

[chris37]

Loretta, your greatest achievement as Attorney general was to reveal yourself to be corrupt by this meeting.

That’s really the only thing you did at all during your tenure.

Congratulations, babe, you should be super proud of yourself.

[fhayek]

Obama tolerated a lot of sleaze in his cabinet. Hillary’s server. Lynch’s ‘innocuous’ meeting. Tim Geithner not paying taxes. John Kerry (’nuff said). He needs to be tarred with their malfeasance. He picked ‘em.

[myerson]

That claim is an insult to the intelligence of the American public.

[flaglady47]

Lies, lies, and more Dem lies.

Lynch said that she didn't like that her actions may have caused people to think otherwise............her actions? isn't she going to a mosque to talk about how muzzies are getting hurt by fake hate here in a few days? Why isn't she investigating the threats to the electors? those are her actions. she is only upset because they got caught.
