My reply was really tongue-in-cheek.

A good move on their part. This sets up the possibility that if the FBI recommends indictment, Lynch can say, we need to set up a Special Prosecutor to make this completely unbiased.It will sound “judicial” it will sound “fair” ... and that process will take 2 years ... well beyond the election. A great Second Defensive Perimeter for Clinton. These people plan EVERYTHING! Those doubting that are simply naive. Wouldn’t surprise me if that was what was really discussed.

It could be she really didn’t know, I guess. But if you are going to meet, and it has to be face to face so there is no electronic record and you really don’t want anyone to know, you drive somewhere random and meet. I don’t know. It would be interesting to know who called the tip in.

When I first heard this I thought it was a way to get a special prosecutor/neutral party assigned and so delay the whole thing for a year or so. But I don’t think that was it.

Maybe. She sure was falling all over herself to get it out in the open.

Are we overlooking the fact that Bill Clinton planned the meeting to compromise Loretta Lynch, and in that way have political pressure put on Loretta Lynch to resign or recuse herself from the case?

We know that Lynch had publicly stated she would abide by what the FBI investigators recommend -- and that would probably be to ask for an indictment.

But if pressure is put on Lynch to resign, a new AG more friendly to the Clintons could be put in to stifle any indictment.

In any case, if this is the conspiracy, look for certain Democrat congressmen, or the NYT or WaPo to criticize Lynch and call for her resignation.

The only trouble with that plan is it could backfire.

But this is clearly a desperate gambit by Bill Clinton to try to stop an indictment that Lynch is determined to not block if the FBI asks for a criminal indictment.

Where's Columbo when we need him? :- )

Nah. I think that is quite a stretch. There is little evidence of people in the Obama admin resigning. Everyone doubles down these days. Lynch seems Clinton friendly from what I see. Of course there may be things going on we don't see
