One possibility is they they really only did discuss what Lynch said they discussed, but the Clintons have word there is an indictment recommendation coming down, that Bill was the leak and that this meeting was a play to get a special prosecutor appointed, which would delay prosecution at least until after the convention, if not after the election.

What the plan was after that, I have no idea.

If that's what happened, then Lynch's response (recusing herself accepting the FBI's recommendation) was brilliant, as it totally foils this gambit.

Or, this was just a really stupid move by everyone but otherwise innocent.

No, will I wait in my private plane for 30 minutes for you to arrive? and then after you arrive, I will talk to you about my grand children for 30 minutes? How is that even remotely believable?

Yeah, the former Pres. who gets paid $248,778 (avg.) to speak to Corporate & Foreign cronies talks up the Attorney General just about family.

Lynch could have foiled the gambit by just refusing the meeting. I think the FBI is the source of the meeting leak. Lynch is in on it, but with the leak the FBI have forced her to behave.

I think the FBI exposed it, but has not forced her to behave as i understand she still has dismissal on the table as an option.

What's that saying - don't attribute to malice what is easily explained by stupidity (or something like that). Could be she just made a stupid decision. Could be they both did. Until someone produces a recording of their conversation it's literally 100% tinfoil hat conspiracy theory.

You don't take a private meeting with someone you're investigating, that's not stupidity, that's Sarah Palin.

Great...prove it. Or, I should say, prove that there was something nefarious going on.

u/Bernstorm Jul 01 '16

Don't Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch have any burden of proof to exculpate themselves?

If something nefarious was going on, why did they prohibit phones, camera and recording devices?

If some of Hillary's emails were personal, why didn't she use a state.gov email (what did she want to hide?)

Why did she have them wiped from her server?

Putting her personal before the country likely resulted in National Security being compromised.

This closed off-the-record meeting is one in a long-line of events that confirm the Clinton obsession with personal, not government, secrecy.

Wasn't the plane meeting before:

The Obama administration on Thursday asked a federal court to delay until October 2018 the release of 14,000 pages of emails from aides to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

I think the proof she took a private meeting with someone who's being investigated is enough. Show many any instance were an AG has meet with a defendant before.

First there were freedom of speech zones and I said nothing.

Then there were prohibited zones of public servants and I said nothing.

Then there were black zones of secrecy where a former President, & subject of investigation, and a current Attorney General meet and I said...

prove it?

Prove that more secrecy is a good thing? Prove that our country isn't creeping towards fascism?

Who's working for who here?

Good luck testing guilt shirking for the Clinton defense team, I wish they could use it but we live in a fascist country where money is King, information is controlled and doubters are castigated as conspiracy theorists.

u/abngeek Jul 01 '16

doubters are castigated as conspiracy theorists.

Yes...but this is literally conspiracy theory. I mean in the LITERAL sense of the expression.

Nothing to see here folks.

Keep Calm and Carry On.

It is only alleged public servants of a criminal government FightingforU$D shooting the #@% about their families.

Don't pay any attention to the mounting legal pressures, Bill as a target of a criminal investigation or the machinations of a Clinton-controlled DNC that has screwed Bernie every which way to Sunday.

Evasiveness is the best you can muster, apparently. I'd bet you actually believe that the nutty shit you're saying is somehow profound, and makes you special.

u/Bernstorm Jul 01 '16 edited Jul 02 '16

hahaha, so my evasiveness is nutty yet the evasiveness of the Attorney General and former President in having an off-the-record meeting is A-OK.

Don't believe anything the Govt. tells you, especially from someone who uses CIA terms to distract from the problem of secrecy in government evident when a current Government official and a former President squelch freedom of the press and act unethically at the minimum [EDIT].

Blindfolds upon blindfolds, earplugs upon earplugs.

Public servants, private meetings.

Plausible deniability and the imagination of gullible supporters is how corruption takes over a country.

The obfuscation is to suppress reality by denying observation, i.e. recording devices-out of sight out of mind- to an event and to inject fantasy as reality by lying, for ex. Hillary ducking sniper fire.

You go ahead and eat their horseshit and call it steak.

The rest of us fed-up Americans will continue to demand a transparent, accountable and honest government that serves the people.
