Full title: Judicial Watch Sues DOJ for Records Relating To Tarmac Meeting between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton in June 2016

(Washington DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Justice for records related to the meeting held between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in 2016 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:17-cv-00421)).

Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after the agency failed to respond to a June 29, 2016, FOIA request seeking: •All records and/or transcripts of a meeting held between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton in June 2016. •All records of communication sent to or from officials in the Office of the Attorney General regarding the meeting held between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton in June 2016. •All records of communication sent to or from officials in the Office of the Deputy Attorney General regarding the meeting held between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton in June 2016. •All references to the meeting held between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton contained in day planners, calendars and schedules in the Office of the Attorney General.

Lynch met privately with former President Bill Clinton on board a parked plane. The meeting occurred during the then-ongoing investigation of Mrs. Clinton’s email server, and only a few days before she was interview by the FBI. Lynch later admitted that the meeting with Bill Clinton “cast a cloud” over the Justice Department/FBI investigation. Not long afterward, FBI Director James Comey called Hillary Clinton’s actions “extremely careless” but did not recommend charges.

Just chit-chat about the grandkids.

Unlike most, I believe that they did talk about their grandchildren. I think the conversation went like this:

Bill: “Do you love your grandchildren? Here’s what you’re gonna do.”

I don’t believe they discussed golf.

And JW can knock itself out, because there are no records. They kicked everyone off the plane and met privately.

Judicial Watch, doing the job Republicans refuse to do.

I heard she does not have any grandchildren.

********

JW being JW as they have from the Larry Klayman days.

The only records would be any correspondence that set up the meeting.

Better to get F&F sorted out first. Plenty of peeps involved with that likely still working for the Fed Gov’t.

Lynch has no biological children or (obviously) grandkids. Her husband has children from a prior marriage, and they have children of their own.
