Attorney General Loretta Lynch called the fallout from her 'innocuous' tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton 'painful'

Outgoing Attorney General Loretta Lynch said she regretted taking a tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton in June

Lynch, talking to CNN's Jake Tapper, was informed that Clinton wanted to come say hi, but the conversation went longer than expected

At the time, the FBI was investigating Hillary Clinton's private email server, trying to determine if she mishandled classified information

When FBI Director James Comey said Hillary Clinton wouldn't be prosecuted several days later, conservatives suggested the meeting with Bill played a part

Lynch told Tapper she wished she would have 'seen around that corner,' as she would have pushed back on Bill Clinton's desire to meet

She didn't think her meeting with the ex-president led to Comey's decision to alert Congress of new emails, which possibly hurt Hillary Clinton't campaign

Attorney General Loretta Lynch said she regretted taking a tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton, calling the political fallout from it 'painful,' as it cast doubt on the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails.

She worried that it made it look like her Department of Justice wasn't playing fair.

The outgoing attorney general, who will be replaced by Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions once team Trump comes into the office, told CNN's Jake Tapper she didn't expect the chat to blow up the way that it did.

'I wish I had seen around that corner and not had that discussion with the former president, as innocuous as it was, because it did give people concern,' Lynch said.

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

That would be the most benign explanation for her actions ... and proof beyond debate that she's too stupid to be the AG.

making sure that people understand that the Department of Justice works in a way that is independent and looks at everybody equally

I for one appreciate all the tarmac chats we have had especially when one of my foundation inadvertently forgot to clear a donation or two from a foreign government or two with the US government in violation of some little law or two.

She knew full well what she was doing and did it anyway.. whether it was by force or willingly.. and now the wicked witches of clintons are no longer a threat to be feared as much as if they were President, she is trying to lessen what she did.. she is trying to make excuses for herself, for when she is no longer in the power seat she is now.

If hillary was president, lynch would be singing a different song.. she’d be in bed with that bunch as she was on that tarmac... give me a break!!

Bill was blindsided by the media’s exposure of his meeting with Lynch. He never saw that coming, either.

Why didn’t she just say no and meet him in his favorite bar in DC for a shot of Jack? Kind of stupid at the time, but democrats aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed.

She is a total crook. She met with Clinton to further her her own agenda.
