Lynch is know on both sides as a no nonsense law enforcement officer. If Bubba tried to bring it up she would cut it off.
Nobody knows what was said in that meeting except those two.
Meeting like that definitely creates the appearance of impropriety. Anyone that things otherwise is a sub-moron.
In the past, that's all libs ever needed to convict a non lib. 'The seriousness of the charge dictates that we do something' yada yada yada.
No doubt there was some small talk - grand kids, Brexit...
Anyone that thinks the investigation didn't come up in some form is a sub-moron.
Given statement 1, this is obviously unprovable, but given the nature of the Clintons it's highly likely. The Clintons are slime and anyone with 2 functioning brain cells knows this.
None of the above is pro republican or pro Trump.
If Bill was really was trying to influence the AG, why the hell would he do it so publicly? He's a better politician than that.
My take on this thread:
Serious question, if his goal was to somehow influence her decision in regards to that why on earth would he meet her in such an obvious fashion? Do you really think Bill Clinton is that stupid?
The one thing I am really not looking forward to with a Clinton presidency is the revival of the insane and ridiculous conspiracy theories. This is just the start.
No, I think Bill is actually brilliant. Best President in my lifetime. I'd vote for him in 2000 if given another chance and we didn't have term limits. That said I think he is that brazen.
Of course those theories would have a harder time having any basis if the Clintons didnt do things like run personal email servers while being Secretary of State that spark an investigation and then meet with the person doing the investigating. It is all a giant smear campaign made up out of thin air with this couple.
So you genuinely think that Bill Clinton has decided to attempt obstruction of justice, a felony, by publicly and obviously altering his schedule to corrupt the nation's top law enforcement officer in the middle of an airport?
Seriously?
I think we both know that isn't true. How many people has she supposedly murdered at this point according to conservatives? Meeting with her was probably not smart on his part, specifically because it invites conspiracy theories like this one. That doesn't make it less crazy though.

Seriously indeed. You can talk about an issue and influence something without "obstruction of justice". I have no clue what exactly they talked about, but the idea that he would ever be charged with obstruction of justice for trying to influence Lynch is laughable. Further, he is (or was, until he got busted for lying under oath) a lawyer, so I'm sure he knows what you can and cannot say.
It's what is intriguing about the meeting though. Bill Clinton is a lot of things, but "dumb" is not one of them. Like just about every male on the planet he sometimes did some dumb things by letting the little head decide instead of the big head, but he's not dumb. He knows this meeting would not be secret, so he knows the optics. Yet he still wanted to have a private 30 minute discussion with the very woman at the top of the office in charge of investigating his wife. What could they possibly have to talk about that would be so important, yet not involve the investigation??
How does Bill Clinton get right wing conspiracy theorists to reveal themselves as idiots?
He just gives them an opportunity to throttle up the crazy train.
IF Bill was going to do something, don't you think he'd do it, oh, I dunno, via a phone call that no one would know about, rather than in public in front of everyong? You guys are grasping at straws. The ONLY evidence you have is two people met. Oh, and of course, if Hillary isn't indicted, you'll use that as the smoking gun. Give me a break.It only takes minutes to make a request and hand over a bag of cash.

I find the liberals dismissing the optics here to be breathtaking. To nobody on earth with an ounce of rational intellect would this look good. To look at the event without knowing what was said and concluding BC wasn't seeking some political advantage is as conspiratorial as to say that he was. There is nothing but partisanship coloring the views on both sides. But one cannot deny the facts of appearance. No sane mind operates on tha notion that if it walks like a duck it's a rose. The press shoul ask what the purpose of the meeting was.
The former president's aide said nothing beyond Lynch's characterization of the account was discussed, and that Clinton "always" extends this courtesy when he is around cabinet secretaries, members of Congress and other dignitaries, pointing to the former president's unplanned meeting with Sen. Ted Cruz at an Alabama airport in May.

All I have to say is 'splain this!
His wife is under FBI investigation and Bill meets with the only person who can indict Hillary. Seems highly inappropriate, especially to those of us who have been following the news. This doesn't look right, frankly I think it smells like a back room shady deal.

Apparently Clinton does this a lot.

lol Who doesn't believe that story?Sounds shady alright. Talking about kids and BREXIT.
Maybe the FBI should investigate. :hmm:
There's no proof to support, or refute, your claim. But they sure as heck weren't talking about grandkids for 30 minutes. If she was as no nonsense as you claim, she wouldn't have let him on the plane. She let herself get caught in an appearance of impropriety. That would sink the career of your average republican.
It is not a conspiracy to associate two unrelated data points that, when evaluated under the same context, suggest a conflict of interest.So the conspiracy theorists need to prove nothing while non-conspiracy theory believers need to prove a negative.
Or belief in conjecture as fact is as rational as refusal to engage in it.
Or you're having a great time leading the fools onward.
