Lynch takes heat for meeting with Bill Clinton

USnews: Backlash over a brief meeting between the attorney general and former President Bill Clinton prompted Lynch to minimize her role in the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Attorney General Loretta Lynch will not overturn whatever recommendation prosecutors at the Department of Justice come to at the conclusion of their investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server when she was secretary of state, an effort intended to take the highly fraught decision as far away from politics as possible.

According to a report in The New York Times, Lynch will make the announcement Friday, a day after it was revealed she had met privately with former President Bill Clinton for about 20 minutes on an airport tarmac on Monday evening.

Word of the meeting, which happened just hours before congressional Republican released the final report detailing their lengthy investigation into the 2012 attack on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, prompted swift backlash from Republicans who said it cast doubt on whether Lynch could be trusted to make an unbiased decision in the case.

  1. Rush just had on someone who was DoJ staff and now is with PJ media. I just caught a tad of it, but he says (paraphrased) it could work to help coalesce Bernie people to Hillary, just like it helped Bill during/after the Ken Star inquiries.

    DROP IT, republicans. Keep quiet on it Mr. Trump and Hannity (my thoughts) Clintons don’t make mistakes, it was done on purpose. They are playing us – AGAIN.

  2. So Lynch’s DOJ staff will make the recommendation to prosecute or not?
    She’ll have plausible deniability while directing and guiding her staff to their conclusion.

    It may placate the fools and talking heads. No, I still don’t believe there will be a non-political or unbiased finding.

  3. “Attorney General Loretta Lynch will not overturn whatever recommendation prosecutors at the Department of Justice come to” because she’s already told them what conclusion to come to. And it ain’t ‘come to Jesus’.

  4. It takes the local (regional) drug task force two years to investigate and charge four people for trafficking twenty pounds of weed.

    Scaling for federal charges I figure this investigation will be ready with a recommendation about 2045.
