The real story of that Lynch-Clinton tarmac meeting gets even stranger
Hot Air ^ | 8-10-17 | Jazz Shaw

Posted on 08/11/2017 2:12:47 AM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

When we last checked in on newly released information regarding that infamous tarmac meeting between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton, we learned that the media wasn’t terribly interested in discussing the matter any more than absolutely necessary. But as reporters continue to dig through the trove of Justice Department emails obtained by the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, we find out that there were some people who were very interested in talking. The people in question would be Lynch’s staff and they were having a flurry of discussions with none other than the folks at James Comey’s office.

FTA: Two obvious questions leap to mind immediately. The first is a no-brainer which somebody at Justice should be addressing for us. Lynch had, by that point, already essentially recused herself from the question of possible prosecution of Hillary Clinton, saying she would leave the decision entirely up to the FBI, so why was her staff sending a blizzard of information and press talking points to the FBI after the secret meeting was revealed?

The second question is even more puzzling and deserves a thorough scrubbing if anyone in the MSM can be bothered to ask. There are generally accepted rules for when the government can or should redact information being released to the public. These can include privacy considerations if the personal information of individuals (such as their Social Security number) are included. Also, the government can withhold sensitive information which might endanger national security. But this was a document which contained a list of talking points to be used if they had to answer questions for the press. In what version of reality would a set of press talking points qualify for redaction?

Corrupt Media Party, here they were early last month in Watergate mode over Donald Jr’s meeting in Moscow a year prior that turned out to be a nothing burger but their silence over the WJC-Lynch meeting at about that same time is deafening.

What does it take for a democrat to be investigated?? I can barely deal with the frustration anymore. I’m getting to the point of just turning off completely and spending my time watching network sitcoms. After a few weeks with my mind turned to mush perhaps I wouldn’t care either.

This is why no mainstream media journalist deserves any respect. They are all propagandists or work for propagandists doing what they do best.

It should be readily apparent that the meeting with BJ and Lynch is exactly the event that all the Russia\Trump smoke is covering and the Rats and Brown Shirt Media are “colluding” to obfuscate the real crimes.

And the Brown Shirt Media covering for Rats ain’t new. It goes way back. Remember in the early days of free republic? Remember how we were called kooks for Mena/Barry Seal, etc.? There is a documentary on the History channel about the war on drugs where all that is presented as accepted history. How did it go from “tinfoil hat” to accepted history without ever spending as much as a day in the “news”?
Remember how the BSM praised JFK for going toe to toe with Khrushchev and getting the USSR to remove missiles from Cuba. Was there ever a day in the news when the fact that in order to get Khrushchev to “back down” JFK had to first remove our missles from Turkey? So in reality JFK WAS a jelly doughnut but the BSM was propping him up.
We could go on and on. The BSM has been in the propaganda business for a long time.

So often, the context shows that redactions are not for Personally Identifiable Information or for national security. And the Redactions are almost never questioned. But clearly they’re a tool democrats use to stonewall and obstruct even further.

This is SOP for the democrat machine. If some of them are in danger of being investigated for something, accuse the other side of the same thing. It works every time, when the MSM is in their corner.

"What does it take for a democrat to be investigated?? "

I feel your pain: not only the lies and corruption Lois Lerner and Susan Rice and Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder - but all the way back to the collusion of the Democrats/media with the antiwar/pro-enemy Left during Vietnam.

Ever wonder why Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden and David Dellinger and Abbie Hoffman weren't tried for treason? They had a shuttle going - with literally hundreds of others - to and from Hanoi to aid the enemy during the war and our government didn't care. How about the incredible goofiness and incompetence of Jimmy Carter?

There has to be some reason all these people can subvert and deceive and commit crimes and no one touches them.

You could even mention Watergate as a very good example of Media Party double standards. When it came to election fraud and the identification and intimidation of political threats and opponents, Richard Nixon was basically a choir boy when compared particularly to both FDR and LBJ in those departments.

Agreed, this is why we also have METV or Antenna TV, with the vintage shows from the 1960s and 1970s as a much more watchable alternative.

The same attorney, Paige Herwig, is now the deputy general counsel for Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. That panel is now investigating whether Lynch played any role in trying to influence the scope or intensity of the FBI’s investigation into the Hillary Clinton email scandal…

We see how this works.

40 years ago I loved Kurt Vonnegut. (Before I met a family member of his who said he was a seriously paranoid schizo wife beater and generally bad guy). But he made some good points. One of the things he talks about was “The Money River”. The elites knew where the river was and would instruct new initiates that they all had to be very careful in their lapping at the bank to do so very quietly so the “little people” don’t find out where it is. The message being in this case is that the Abbie Hoffmann, the Jane Fondas, the PEOPLE YOU KNOW ABOUT aren’t the actual people who know where the money river is. The names you know are the smoke screen to distract attention from the folks who are busily slurping up the refreshment from the money river.

So it begins to make sense that the names we are presented with as “folks to hate” are just the decoys and actually prosecuting them could potentially reveal things we aren’t allowed to know. Hence, they seem to “get away with it” perpetually.
It all makes sense when you think about it. Sometimes it takes someone very experienced in paranoia to understand reality, someone like Kurt Vonnegut. LOL. His genius was that he was intelligent enough to be able to communicate his delusions in a way that revealed reality.

We could just go on and on. The BSM covered for JFK’s adultery for years as well as LBJ’s numerous flaws but Goldwater was a “dangerous kook”?

Seriously, take a look at Monica and Paula Jones. Old BJ seemed to have hit on just about anything female as long as it was still warm.
