WH defends Lynch from Clinton meeting fallout
The Hill ^ | 6/30/2016 | Jordan Fabian

Posted on 06/30/2016 1:21:46 PM PDT by orchestra

The White House on Thursday defended Attorney General Loretta Lynch from criticism over her private meeting with former President Clinton.

The meeting took place in the midst of a federal investigation into his wife, Hillary Clinton, and her private email server during her tenure as secretary of State, but White House press secretary Josh Earnest said both Lynch and President Obama are committed to conducting a fair investigation.

ADVERTISEMENT “I think the bottom line is simply that both the president and the attorney general understand how important it is for the Department of Justice to conduct investigations that are free of political interference,” he told reporters.

Earnest declined to say whether it was appropriate for Lynch to take the meeting, and acknowledged that questions about it “are entirely legitimate.”

But he refused to second-guess her decision to speak privately with Bill Clinton, saying he took Lynch at her word that the two did not discuss the investigation.

Since when does this Obama pos admin care about what the peasants think?

Starting from 2009 push for the ObamaCare, ...... exactly 7 and a half years later, nothing’s changed.

Republican-Run Eunuch Congress can only wring their hands, unfortunately by now most peasants see through their games and thus the Trump Revolt.

If the GOP does vote to impeach her, and that’s an awfully big ‘IF”

Her skin color prevents that just like it protected Holder

Is it possible that Lynch is doing a little free lancing and that the White House was not aware of the meeting?

Interesting thought

Absolutely. Lynch resigns. A special prosecutor approved by the Republican majority must be appointed. A line has been crossed here. Feces hitting the fan.

She may have told the ol' Slickster "Here's what we've got on Hillary. What's it worth to you?"

My only worry is that Clinton did this to muddy the waters, and force Lynch out, thereby letter DOJ appoint someone else for friendly to the Clintons.

Been watching Fox Business all day-still haven’t mentioned the Rasmussen Poll, only the crappy Fox Poll which shows Clinton leading.

Willfully misleading on Benghazi

Willfully mishandling classified information
and

OR
a chance to regain their country.

Completely unethical for her to meet privately with the spouse of someone under FBI criminal investigation.
