What's This About? Bill Clinton Meets Loretta Lynch On Her Government Plane For 1/2 Hour In Phoenix

[Shrimpbox]

In the three dimensional chess game that is politics I think we are looking too much for a knockout punch instead of rope a dope. Let's say this controversy lasts for a week or more, and president Obama decides to let Loretta recuse herself and appoints a special,prosecutor for the sake of transparency and make everyone happy. A special prosecutor would take years to come to a conclusion, definitely past the elections. Obama cares nothing about Hilary, he only cares about preserving power. Hilary, sans indictment, is the best bet for democrats to keep the White House. But once she has won, anybody can do her job. The Vice President steps in, pardons Hilary, and the dems live happily ever after.

I think bills talk with Loretta was more about muddying the waters and slow walking the process than outright non indictment. After all,Obama has found out that slow walking every scandal they have had is a successful strategy. A compliant press has been Obamas greatest ally and whatever he decides to do they will support.

The AG doesn’t typically meet with family of an open investigation target. Why did she?

It isn't that the don't typically meet with anyone involved in a case, they NEVER, EVER, EVER meet with anyone involved in the case or the judge will declare a mistrial. If either attorney goes into a restroom and a juror is present, they're not eve.n supposed to acknowledge that the other exists. NOTHING

 

[Markle]

You nutjobs are too funny. So easily fooled and riled up.
Do any of you honestly believe that if this meeting were what you think it was, that they would be on the news walking on the tarmac?

The news knew nothing about the meeting. There was a local reporter who received a call from a reliable source at the airport. He was told that the Bill Clinton had boarded his plane but it was just sitting there and that another private plane was scheduled to land with Loretta Lynch on board. The reporter hung up and called another source at the airport who did not know the first informant. He confirmed the facts. The reporter took off and headed for the airport and, the rest is history.

• Judicial Watch Asks Justice Inspector General to Investigate Loretta Lynch-Bill Clinton Meeting
  Judicial Watch ^ | June 30, 2016

Judicial Watch today requested that the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General investigate the meeting yesterday between Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch:



Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately with former President William J. Clinton on board a parked private plane on the west side of Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona on June 29, 2016, according to multiple press reports.
President Clinton is the spouse of Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former Secretary of State, who is purportedly the subject of a national security crime investigation pertaining to the mishandling of national defense information processed by Mrs. Clinton’s personal server during her tenure as secretary.

Additionally, there are press reports that a federal public corruption investigation is on-going concerning conflicts of interest and abuse of official government office involving the financial "commitments" to the Clinton Foundation, speaking fees for President Clinton and former Secretary Clinton's official acts. President Clinton may be a target of that investigation.

Attorney General Lynch's meeting with President Clinton creates the appearance of a violation of law, ethical standards and good judgment. Attorney General Lynch’s decision to breach the well-defined ethical standards of the Department of Justice and the American legal profession is an outrageous abuse of the public's trust. Her conduct and statements undermine confidence in her ability to objectively investigate and prosecute possible violations of law associated with President Clinton and Secretary Clinton. This incident undermines the public's faith in the fair administration of justice. Simply stated, Attorney General Lynch’s June 29, 2016 meeting with former President Clinton creates the broad public impression that "the fix is in."

Judicial Watch requests your immediate and thorough investigation of the facts, circumstances, and appearances of ethical, regulatory and legal violations by Attorney General Lynch in connection with her meeting with former President William J. Clinton - and that you report your findings and recommendations to the American public.

Judicial Watch cites in its complaint 18 USC §§ 202 - 209; Executive Order 12674 on Principles of Ethical Conduct as amended by EO 12731; Uniform Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the Executive Branch, 5 CFR Part 2635; Department of Justice regulations, 5 CFR Part 3801; Department of Justice regulations, 28 CFR Part 45; Executive branch standards of conduct, 5 USC § 735; and, United States Department of Justice Ethics Handbook for On and Off-Duty Conduct, 14 Principles for Ethical Conduct:



"14. Employees shall endeavor to avoid any actions creating the appearance that they are violating the law or the ethical standards set forth in this part. Whether particular circumstances create an appearance that the law or these standards have been violated shall be determined from the perspective of a reasonable person with knowledge of the relevant facts."
5 C.F.R 2635.101 (b)

"An employee shall endeavor to avoid any actions creating the appearance that the employee is violating the law or the ethical standards set forth in this part."

5 CFR 2635.101(b)(14)

"Attorney General Loretta Lynch's meeting with Bill Clinton severely undermined the already low public confidence in her agency's criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "In addition to this IG investigation, Judicial Watch has already sent Freedom of Information Act requests about this scandalous meeting."

Interesting. Is this ethical?

PHOENIX - Amid an ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of email and hours before the public release of the Benghazi report, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately with former President Bill Clinton.

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 private meeting comes as Lynch's office is in charge of the ongoing investigation and potential charges involving Clinton's email server.

The private meeting also occurred hours before the Benghazi reportwas released publicly involving Hillary Clinton and President Obama's administration.

Lynch said the private meeting on the tarmac did not involve these topics.

"Our conversation was a great deal about grandchildren, it was primarily social about our travels and he mentioned golf he played in Phoenix," said Lynch Tuesday afternoon while speaking at the Phoenix Police Department.

Sources say the private meeting at the airport lasted around 30 minutes.

Loretta Lynch, Bill Clinton meet privately in Phoenix

What a lying political hack....None of this makes sense. If they wanted to chat about their grandkids, they could have done so on the phone.
These people are as ethical as a the fox watching the hen house.

Making NOTE that not a FUCKING REPUBLICAN has brought this up or requested what the JW has done..... PATHETIC.... ARE THEY ALL ON THE DNC PAYROLL?????

It shows the degree of arrogance the Clintons have. They know they own the media, the President and the Justice Dept. Why not? Hell I'm surprised they didn't have the meeting at Grand Central Station.

There can be no doubt that the government's top justice figure is colluding with the targets of a criminal investigation.

Dude, since you don't know why they met, you should do what the Rightwing media does: make something up. Lie.

And broadcast it to the throngs of uneducated white men, clutching their steering wheel in rage.

You pompous cocksucker.

It was unethical for them to meet at all, at the least....and since they have told us a tale that insults the intelligence of anybody not a foolish cocksucker (you) or willingly blind out of partisanship....rational people with common sense are entitled to assume that another Clinton Scheme was afoot....a leopard doesn't change its stripes.

Chance Meeting on a Tarmac---Fuck that.

When this country, the greatest society ever established...is fully undermined by Democrat Vote-Whore Socialists and Criminals...it will be Fools like you who are primarily responsible.

Wake up.

Not really. The right has established it is perfectly acceptable for judges to socialize privately with folks in involved in their court.

Don't forget, their impartiality is above reproach.

So the day after Lynch's covert meeting with Bill Clinton, she files a motion to delay the release of the Clinton Foundation emails...

There can be no doubt that the government's top justice figure is colluding with the targets of a criminal investigation.

Loretta Lynch, Bill Clinton meet privately in Phoenix

as far as I know-----it was UTTERLY UNETHICAL to the point of being unlawful (I am not a lawyer-----but I do have a personal anecdote----several years ago a was an "expert witness" at little teeny court case. In the course of the OPPOSITE lawyer cross examination the judge did "1/2 hour recess"------I walked up and down the hallway----saw a sign "library"---so walked in-----the guy who had been in the course cross examining me was sitting at a table----the only other person there------I ambled over to say 'hello' -----the poor man almost FELL OFF HIS CHAIR to avoid me. After the silly "trial' was over he explained-----"any words between him and me would have APPEARANCE of impropriety as an EX PARTE??? communication" it wasn't kosher -----
so it seems

There isn't a trial yet so any impropriety is premature.

its an ONGOING INVESTIGATION-----seems like impropriety to me----but I am not a lawyer

Lynch was on Fox News a few weeks ago and told Chris Wallace that she has never discussed Hillary Clinton's email issue with President Obama, she said it would be inappropriate to discuss it. If she won't talk to President Obama she sure as hell isn't talking to Bill Clinton about it

I got bridges for sale. Cheap.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

After reading though some of the usual suspects posts I'm completely stunned at the enormous amount of self-delusion the lefties on this site have, I knew they would excuse anything a Clinton did but this is blatantly improper and you progressives don't seem to realize that.

I hope you Democrats don't play poker, the stock market, walk across the street by yourselves, or run with sharp objects because you guy are just babytown frolics,

It’s about ridiculous, delusional, paranoid conservatives and their propensity to contrive and propagate idiotic lies.

[Vigilante]

Did you hear about the disbarred lawyer who met with the Attorney General of the United States?


Someone from the progressive side of the spectrum please justify how there is no perceived conflict of interest with the facts that we know about this meeting: 1. The female who is running for the Democratic nomination is under FBI investigation; 2. The disbarred lawyer represents himself as the husband of the female running for the Democratic nomination. His security and schedule is meticulously controlled by the secret service yet he somehow happens to to have an adhoc meeting on the other side of the nation with the Attorney General, whom he appointed to a Federal position; 3. The Attorney General will have to rule on whether there is enough evidence from the FBI investigation to indict the female who is running for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, Again, she happens to be married to the disbarred lawyer who recently met with the Attorney General. 4. Why would the Attorney General of the US take the time to meet with a disbarred lawyer anyway?

LOL.....coming from one of the most naïve zombies on the entire message board.

Lynch knew with 100% certainty.......as soon as she saw Clinton, she walks the other way. He knows it too............100% certainty. duh

I do investigations for a living..........for an 85 million dollar health services company..........for 30 years. If I pulled a stunt like Lynch did, my ass would be fired before the day was out!! Speaking to a potentially key witness solo............. duh.........but we have to remember, progressives don't give a shit about either integrity or truth or even basic ethics. If Soetero had an ounce of integrity ( ) he'd be dismissing her today. Wont happen.......the rule of law only matters when you can effectively get away with breaking it.

Just imagine Leon Jaworski stopping in at the White House to speak to Pat Nixon during Watergate......"to have a cup of tea and chat"!!!

What would the term be for going past doubling down on corruption?
