Reporter: FBI ordered ‘no photos, no pictures, no cell phones’ during Clinton/Lynch meeting
Hotair ^ | July 1,2016 | LARRY O'CONNOR

Reporter Christopher Sign of ABC 15 in Phoenix, AZ appeared on The O’Reilly Factor Thursday night to talk about his scoop involving that secret meeting between former President Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Watch the entire interview below. Sign lays out how the story developed and then he leaves this little nugget:

“The former president steps into her plane. They then speak for 30 minutes privately. The FBI there on the tarmac instructing everybody around ‘no photos, no pictures, no cell phones.'”

First of all, it isn’t the FBI’s job to tell journalists or private citizens they can’t take photographs of a former president and the Attorney General. What were the agents going to do, arrest people for taking a picture or video?

Also, if there was nothing wrong with the meeting and it was totally innocent, why were federal agents instructed to demand no one take a picture?

Finally, let’s stop focusing on the fact that this meeting was inappropriate because Clinton’s wife is under investigation by Lynch’s Justice Department. I mean, that’s bad, but it’s actually letting Lynch and Clinton off the hook a bit. By focusing on the appearance of conflict because Hillary Clinton is being investigated, we are willfully overlooking the very real conflict in the fact that Clinton himself is under investigation, as the Grand Poo-bah at the Clinton Foundation. (Fox News)

The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of private email as secretary of state has expanded to look at whether the possible “intersection” of Clinton Foundation work and State Department business may have violated public corruption laws, three intelligence sources not authorized to speak on the record told Fox News.

This new investigative track is in addition to the focus on classified material found on Clinton’s personal server

What happens if this drags out til end of year with no final decision by DOJ? I have read, but do not know, there need not be a trial or conviction for a Presidential Pardon. If true, if Obama issued a pardon at end of year for both clintons, does that shut everything down? Permanently?

So now the FBI are the Administration’s bouncers.

What was the FBI doing there in the first place? I understand that Clinton has SS protection. I also understand that Loretta has a security escort, but is that always provided by the FBI, or does DOJ have it's own security?

If the FBI provides DOJ security, then the agents accompanying her would probably feel they had to do what she ordered. However, if the FBI specially detailed these men to provide additional security for this meeting...

Ford pardoned Nixon comprehensively for a range of dates, any actions taken during the entire Nixon term of office. There had not yet been any indictment(s).

So yes, a presidential pardon can shut everything down forever, although it would have to be limited to dates in the past (a pardon for future actions would amount to the executive making legislation, I read somewhere regarding presidential pardons).

The bastard Obozo had better not dare to go there...... will there be justice for the Clintonistas?????

Obama has “fundamentally transformed “ the FBI into an international joke along with the rest of America.

Director Comey: You have about two weeks to make a stand and recover the integrity of the FBI and it’s standing in the world of law enforcement. Are you going to man-up or roll-over and show your belly like a cur dog?

Two takeaways from this:

1) If Hildebeast wins Christopher Sign will be audited by the IRS for as far into the future as he can see.

2) ABC 15’s next license renewal is DOA at the FCC

The fact that Clintoon’s visit cannot be quickly and decisively confirmed (as a golf outing lol) is most interesting.... if he really was there to play golf it would have been a simple matter to confirm when and where he played. The “golf” cover story falling apart???

Too many unanswered questions ...

This meeting seems to be well coordinated.

ps. What was Lynch’s husband there?

http://www.abc15.com/news/region-phoenix-metro/central-phoenix/loretta-lynch-bill-clinton-meet-privately-in-phoenix

The private meeting took place on the west side of Sky Harbor International Airport on board a parked private plane.

Former President Clinton was visiting the Phoenix area and arrived to Sky Harbor Monday evening to depart.

Sources tell ABC15 Clinton was notified Lynch would be arriving at the airport soon and waited for her arrival.

Lynch was arriving in Phoenix for a planned visit as part of her national tour to promote community policing.

ABC15 asked Lynch about the meeting during her news conference at the Phoenix Police Department.

“I did see President Clinton at the Phoenix airport as he was leaving and spoke to myself and my husband on the plane,” said Lynch.

The FBI has made itself a joke.

It is the protector, if not the engine,
of all corruption in America.

“... as he was leaving and spoke to myself and my husband”

A pet peeve: so many supposedly educated people do not know when to use “myself” and when to use “me”

This is the same FBI telling the Orlando police what to do and not to do. I didn’t realize they were in the OPD chain of command.

Where are the GOP majorities in the House and Senate denouncing this, along with the meeting between Lynch and BJ?

If I see one more talking head (Peter Johnson yesterday) talk about what a wonderful prosecutor Lynch is, I am going to puke. Her first loyalty is to the tribe and not simply the tribe you think. It’s the Rat tribe.

Wouldn’t that airport have lots of surveillance cameras on the tarmac and ramps for security review in case there were to be some sort of incident? Even gas stations have cameras covering the pumps.

Clinton pardoned Marc Rich. I (sadly) expect nothing less from obama.
