This is such a non-story.
Jeezus, Bill.
This is one of the reasons BC is so annoying to me. He feels entitled to screw up the lives of others, no matter what the consequences. I just wish he would go find a seat and stay in it. Heâs not helping!
Itâs AP. AP and the NYT are obsessed with the email story. Even to the point of repeated correction of several published articles because they were so in a rush to go to press, they didnât get their facts straight. And the current AP articleâs alluded to backlash was, as far as I could discern, rwnj radio talk hosts.
This is the last and final Hillary email post that yours truly will click on unless she actually gets indicted on a charge. And that is extremely unlikely.
Legal Experts And Media Say Clinton Likely Will Not Be Indicted
Scroll about 1/4 way down.
Edit. Oh, and fuck âopticsâ
Edit 2. Iâm just not going to encourage, with my participation, this âClinton Rulesâ email cottage industry any more.
Ken Starr isnât busy anymore.
Even if Bill Clintonâs meeting was completely above board, it was a really stupid thing to do (he KNOWS the media will turn it into a controversy regardless). Thatâs just the kind of dumb shit Bill does, though. Itâs weird how he at times seems like heâs actively sabotaging his wifeâs campaign. He didnât do stuff like that when he was campaigning for Obama.
Loretta Lynch To Accept Prosecutorsâ Call On Clinton Email Case
âOK, you can tell them Iâm back from lunch nowâŚâ
Honestly, screw the AP and this shit. You have the GOP going ape shit on Bill Clinton because he most likely said âhelloâ to Lynch and you have Trump with his mountain of FEC violations, lawsuits, and even a sexual assault case. Do your job reporters and stop trying to milk every last word out of this email story.
No, it isnât. Imagine a well-connected husband of an accused woman going to speak to the administrative judge of the court overseeing the prosecution of the manâs wife. Or such a man going to see the administrative prosecutor of the department that is handling the investigation. It may be innocent or may not be, but Lynch should have said no to his invitation or recorded the 30-minutes.
This is bad form, and it basically underscores what many Americans feel about the administration of justice in the US; the well-connected can do what they want and the rest of us get the hammer. Donât be surprised if Lynch gets called before the Senate Judiciary committee and grilled about it; she should. It was a dumb idea for Atty. Gen. Lynch to have allowed Bill Clinton to board her plane for a 30-minute conversation while the Justice Dept. is investigating his wife. It gives the appearance of impropriety, and special access.
WTF are you talking about??
Whatâs the story here? If we donât know what was discussed, why is this considered ânewsâ? Give it a f*cking break already. Jeez.
EDIT TO ADD: The reason I am so pissed at this is because, of all the things to get excised over, this isnât one of them.
This was not a âmeeting.â For all I know, he could have been shooting he sh*t with her and her husband at the airport while waiting for a plane. And as for âopticsâ? Thatâs just absurd. The only optics to be seen here are the ones that are manufactured. No âthereâ there.
Yes it is.
Sir, this ainât RedState. Theyâre over there, towards the right.
I love bubba, but they need to send him out of the country for a coupla months. What a dumb F&*&%$ move.
Bill Clinton could have noticed her from 10,000 yards away, smiled and nodded and there would still be bib-dribbling and spoon-clanging about him ânot helpingâ or giving chum to right wing media whores.
Lynch should have politely refused Clintonâs request for this meeting.
Oh, but they are doing their job, and are abetted by the fearful Democrats (those two words go together like flies on poop) who wring their hands at every turn and throw in some general flailing for good measure.
Our Media Glitterati have a narrative to push, and since theyâre nostalgic for the 90s, everything is a scandal waiting to happen. A demonstration of âthe Clinton way,â and then marveling at âlook how negative Hillaryâs numbers are!â when itâs all they push.
âLoretta Lynch To Accept Prosecutorsâ Call On Clinton Email Caseâ
As opposed toâŚdoing what?
Lynch told reporters that she did and Bill Clinton did not discuss the email investigation during the encounter.
And Iâll bet they also did not discuss BENGHAZI!1!1!1! - or Whitewater, or FileGate, or Travelgate, or even the mysterious missing "W"s on every keyboard in the White House in January 2001. Why? Because as always with Clinton âscandalsâ thereâs just no there there. Just a series of nothingburgers explicitly intended to rile up the stupids.
The announcement also appeared intended to assuage concerns, particularly among Republicans, that Lynch â an Obama administration appointee â might overrule any recommendations on criminal charges from the agents and prosecutors who have worked on the case.
Thatâs funny. How do you âassuage concernsâ that are not based in any actual concern for legality, but designed solely to rile up the stupids?
Glad to see that AP will never change. Everything has to have an anti-Clinton/anti-liberal spin, no matter the topic.
Ron Fournier, you built that!
And did you notice that the statement came from one of APâs âanonymous sourcesâ and is described in the paragraph following as a ârevelationâ . As you implied, what did AP think was going to happen for this information to be considered a revelation?
