Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch just made Hillary’s email problems even worse
Wapo ^ | 7/1/2016 | Chris Cillizza

A big part of politics is appearances and perceptions. If something looks bad, people will likely conclude it is bad — even if there's no actual evidence or proof of its relative badness. Politicians know this; it's why they don't wear funny hats or get in tanks (anymore).

And it's why Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch should have known better when they huddled privately at the Phoenix airport earlier this week. Lynch is the nation's top cop and, as such, oversees the FBI, which is conducting an investigation into whether Hillary Clinton or any of her associates broke the law in setting up a private email server for her electronic correspondence during her four years as secretary of state. Meeting privately with the former president of the United States who also happens to be Hillary Clinton's husband looks really, really bad.

His revenge on her? By being a poison pill?

Who knows.

I dreamed about meeting Bill Clinton a few months ago; in the dream he put on the image of being an innocent-for-all-the-world playboy.

Observer article linked from Drudge supposedly interviewed a security source who was on the site of the meeting. He/she claims Lynch was taken by surprise with Clinton’s appearance. I say Bull$hit. Besides, all she had to do was say she couldn’t meet with him, and that would have been the end of it. She let him on her plane. Knowing the shenanigans of the Clintons and the Obama administration, I can imagine this whole scenario was a deliberate act to complicate the investigation even more.

It I all simpler than this. The people at the top are incompetent and their lies are so huge they are destroying everything. they cannot hide anymore. Everything they do turns to crap.

I can’t see Bernie in there, the party sees him as an intruding outsider. I can certainly see a Biden/Warren ticket, and Bernie would certainly be happy with that.

It seemed so unnecessary, that meeting. This isn’t the set of elbows to rub in this situation.

But I guess the adulation just got to their heads.

They are at the point of diminishing returns where whatever they do turns to crap just like the last few years of Hitler’s reign.

I guess when the Democrats are losing, falling under their own weight, they send in the clowns.

True that. Madness can’t prosper forever, it runs itself out of plausible resources.

Beyond that I think Obama Emailed Hillary at the illegal server and knew.

If that came out?????

That can’t come out, so all is washed clean when it is criminal.

Clinton was consumed with desperation. The jig is almost up and he had to do something. He probably has been planning the something for a long time. There was an opportunity, but rife with danger. The desperation outweighed the risk. This leads me to believe that it is much worse for the both of them, than many of us think it is. What if every crime that they have committed has been rolled into an indictment. We are all so cynical... not allowing for the possibility that Comey and his agents might after all, do the right thing.

Just a thought that popped into my head because of the reckless nature of this act.

Or- it’s just another day at the office for Bill and his trusty sidekick- hubris.

Maybe so, but the Dem voters are enamored with those two for whatever reason. Biden would have run if not for the untimely death of his son, and Warren was campaigning alongside Clinton. It doesn’t make sense to run an XX/XX ticket, why else was she there if not as Plan B.

I have also pursued the thought that Billy Boy might be using this to rid himself of Cankles without the divorce. Hillary can’t spill the beans on anyone without causing even more trouble for herself.

What a tangled web we weave...
