It's been just a little over a year since the tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch - the one in which they merely discussed grandchildren. Shortly after the meeting, the American Center for Law and Justice submitted a FOIA request to the Comey FBI requesting any documents relating to the meeting but were told that "no documents responsive to your request were found."
What a difference a year makes.
It turns out that hundreds of pages of documents existed, and they reveal a shocking coordination between the FBI and DOJ to downplay the meeting and the efforts of journalists from the New York Times and the Washington Post to bury the story.
One email between FBI and DOJ officials two days after the meeting flags the story and contained "talkers," but the talking points themselves were redacted from the emails produced.
I want to flag a story that is gaining some traction tonight. Daily caller, The Hill and FOX News have picked up a local Phoenix news report about a casual, unscheduled meeting between former president Bill Clinton and the AG. It happened on Monday night. Our talkers on this are below, along with the transcript from the AG' s Phoenix presser, where she was asked about this. Happy to discuss further by phone. Please let me know if you get any questions about this. Thanks.
An email from Matt Zapatosky at the Washington Post asks for a few more details about the meeting because he's hoping to put the story to rest, but his "editors are still pretty interested in it." Zapatosky also, according to the ACLJ, made specific edits to his story at the request of DOJ officials to paint Lynch in a more favorable light.
A New York Times reporter, Mark Landler, emailed a DOJ official seeking information about the meeting because he had been "pressed into service to write about" the meeting.
All talking points and discussions of talking points have been redacted from the emails, and ACLJ will be returning to court in an effort to force DOJ to provide the redacted information.
“What were they thinking? For William Jefferson Clinton to meet with the lady in charge of his wife’s active matter? Must have bricks for brains.”
They didn’t think that they would be caught in the 100 degree + heat on an out of sight tarmac at the Phoenix Airport.
Fortunately for America, a good reporter discovered their meeting and got the story published.

What kind of fool are you?
Do you think a Clinton would honor a promise?
Have you been in a coma for 30 years?
But it was corrupt then and it still looks and smells corrupt.
The kind of fool that knows that Hillary will never admit defeat but will continue to commit crimes even after charges are vacated - which will provide for new evidence against her.
I guess I did not indicate my sarcasm clearly enough by saying that she will become that sweet old grandmother.
More than likely she is even now teaching her grandchild the finer points of career criminality.
follow-up effort to get the redacted talking points is successful.
Stall tactics.
Yes, talking about grandchildren. She has no children, much less grandchildren
I agree.
“all AGAINST THE WIND.”
I wish it were only wind Trump has to fight against.
He’s deep in enemy territory, slogging through the swamp, and they are swarming all over him like mosquitos and biting ants, looking for any chink in his armor. They know he is there to destroy them and they absolutely hate his guts.
I’m sure he’d love nothing better than to toss a bunch of them in jail.
Since he’s not doing that, I’m guessing he has good reason to wait.
Yup!
It’s getting on my last nerve. I’ve been very forbearing regarding DJT, up to this point. But now he’s beginning to seem very weak by allowing traitors and collaborators to go on, business as usual, under the patronage of the Clinton/Obama cartel. At this rate, I do not see a possible second term for this President.
So? She still has no grandchildren. She claimed that they talked about their grandchildren and golf for at least 25 minutes when she has no grandchildren at all. She lied.
As always it depends on who writes it.
Hopefully the ‘winners’ will be ‘us’...
