The FBI Has Released New Info About Loretta Lynch's Tarmac Meeting With Bill Clinton
Townhall.com ^ | Dec 15, 2017 | Katie Pavlich

The FBI released a series of email documents Friday afternoon detailing the Department of Justice response to the fallout of the secret Phoenix tarmac meeting between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton in June 2016. The dates on the emails range from July 1-3, 2016. On July 5, 2016, FBI Director James Comey announced former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would not face criminal charges for mishandling classified information.

A series of emails show one FBI official, whose name and email are redacted, fuming over leaks to the media about the meeting and what happened on the tarmac. The official received an email from a "layman" alleging a local Phoenix police officer who may have talked to a reporter "sounds like a security threat." Officials went back and forth about finding out if the officer was SWAT or simply worked the motorcade and that "at a minimum" he should never work another detail again. One asked if local law enforcement assisting the FBI on motorcades should sign non-disclosure agreements in the future. Another official called an Observer article about the meeting, with details about how President Clinton got to Lynch's private plane, "infuriating."

Talking points about how to handle the fallout are referenced, but fully redacted.

Another email shows correspondence between senior leadership at the FBI, including former FBI Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, about the developments in the media fallout after the meeting. There are also emails from FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok.

Lynch maintains she only discussed grandchildren and golf with President Clinton during their 30-minute long meeting.

After Clinton-Lynch Tarmac Meeting, FBI Scrambled to Find and Punish Source, Emails Show
Newsweek ^ | December 15, 2017 | By Max Kutner
Posted on 12/15/2017, 1:25:03 PM by Oldeconomybuyer

After news broke about an airport meeting between former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton in the midst of last year’s presidential campaign, the FBI scrambled to identify the source who leaked details about the encounter and discipline him or her, according to emails released on the FBI website on Friday.

The internal emails show that on June 29, 2016, a senior spokeswoman for the Justice Department emailed her counterparts at the FBI to flag articles that were starting to appear about the meeting. In the email, the spokeswoman, Melanie Newman, described the encounter as “a casual, unscheduled meeting.” She provided talking points, which are redacted in the released version.

That same day, multiple FBI officials sent links about the story to Comey, who responded to one email, “Got it, thanks sir.” Also on those email chains were FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, whom President Donald Trump and others have accused of a pro-Clinton bias because his wife received money for a political campaign from entities associated with Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, a Clinton ally; and Peter Strzok, who was removed from special counsel Robert Mueller’s team because of text messages critical of Trump. Strzok oversaw the Clinton email investigation.

nothing done on the taxpayer dime should ever be inaccessible or redacted unless it is military specifications or the actual identities of agents.

We should allow the COMBINED fedgov to classify 500 pages, single sided double spaced, a year. mandatory declassification after 10 years.

It was simply a social visit on the tarmac. Bill wasn’t persuading anyone because we all know the verdict was already established months earlier. Just read Comey’s notes.

It’s pretty obvious that the entire top tier of the FBI had morphed into The Clinton/Bam Bam Mafia. The only difference between those arrogant clowns and the Cosa Costa Nostra is that the Costa Nostra are a LOT smarter.

The only concern they had was that the rendezvous’ cover got blown.
No concern whatsoever that they had participated in a conspiracy to obstruct justice.

“Lynch maintains she only discussed grandchildren and golf with President Clinton during their 30-minute long meeting.”

Ms Lynch, if you can live with that lie, I can live with locking you up in prison for 10 years or so for perjury.

Hearing Transcript Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing on the Nomination of Sen. Sessions to be Attorney General"

Sessions admits that he can't do a very important part of his job. Sessions should resign or be fired.

And the DOJ/FBI was going to retaliate against the person who made this known to the public, in defiance of the Enhanced Whistleblower protection act. Would you believe it. High Officials in the DOJ and FBI conspiring to break the law.

The REAL security threat was Loretta Lynch conspiring with Bill Clinton to give Hillary a pass for her crimes and allow her to run for President. /Captain Obvious


Who’s to say Lynch didn’t also inform Bill Clinton that they were going to launch a CI operation against Trump using Hillary’s Fusion GPS oppo research...

Notice there is no anger at the fact that the Atty General had just attempted to have a clandestine meeting with the husband of the main target of a serious national security investigation

Just anger that Lynch and Clinton got caught and how to punish the whistle blowers

Seem like the FBI is not content to simply be the defense lawyers for the Clintons, they want to be their mob enforcers as well
