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.

That’s the problem. They’re not dense.....they just don’t care because they know they can get by with it....how much lawlessness has gone on for the last 7 1/2 years without a damn thing being done??? They need a special prosecutor for this and have needed one since the get-go!
About 4 p.m. EDT tomorrow, the WH will release a brief message to indicate that 0bama has completed his investigation into this, by asking Lynch what the meeting was for, and that 0bama is completely convinced that not a smidgen of corruption or wrongdoing is involved. Then off for his long holiday weekend....
“Lynch needs to resign. The Republican congress should demand it.”
What? And risk being called a racist? Horrors!
Lynch is totally unqualified.
Clinton is a proven LIAR. Both of them.
Obama is a proven Liar.
Where is there any kind of integrity or rule of law?
Unacceptable and where are the Republican leaders on this??
OH YEAH, ....... bashing Trump, I forgot.
Wrong the game is different.
BJ just cost Hillary the election.
Assuming Trump takes advantage of it.
:-)
Don't forget sexist. She is a black woman after all.
I think Trump’s people are working a few ads with this meeting as the center piece
These scumbags need a refresher course on what “appearance of impropriety” means.
Sad but true.
The person who got the number is waiting in Ft. Marcy Park for a meeting...
There will be books and movies made about the Clintons in their criminal activities. I hope I’m still alive to see it.
Crooks and Traitors, Incorporated, ya think? What a national disgrace and Congress is complicit by their inaction.
They dishonor every American hero who died to protect this nation and our freedom. The current slimes in office will be judged one day and found lacking. May they spend eternity in Hades with each other.
Lynch may be taking the easy way out - better to resign than go against your conscience; Elliot Richardson like?
(of course she could just be afraid to pull the trigger on her Heinous)
Liar, liar,
Pants on fire...
Took her at her word. So alrighty then.
They act with impunity because they know there will be no consequences. None.
We need a 6 year Trey Gowdy investigation to look into this
Where’s the outrage from the press.
They get more exorcised when footballs aren’t inflated properly.
Geez LOUISE!
Yeah, the conservatives darling Gowdy will get to the bottom of it.
