I believe the dinner Hillary had with obama was to discuss the plan of action. The picture showed her and obama having a salad. The real meeting involved many other people from both sides.
The Clinton gang and the obama gang are pretending to help each other while both are trying to figure out how to blame it on the other. They both said “Let’s have a meeting and see if we can figure out the other’s game plan.”
Face to face conversation is typical in mob activity when they don’t want to leave a trail. How far away were they from listening ears?
