I believe that Bill and Lynch believed they had their tracks covered and that news of their clandestine rendezvous would not be made public.
Whatever the objective for Bill or Lynch it sure wasn’t the accidental crossing of two paths as it was first portrayed.
Various accounts make it clear that Bill went to extraordinary measures to set the meeting up and Lynch did nothing to avoid the meeting.
Lynch knew darn well that it was a breach of trust and ethics to meet privately with the spouse of the target of an ongoing investigation.
Yet she didn’t politely refuse to speak with Bill in private.
So it is obvious that Bill had a purpose in mind and Lynch demonstrated that she was open and willing to hear his arguments or proposals.
Thank you. I've been saying the same thing mostly to deaf ears.
What do you think Bill was up to?
