What concerns me most about Hillary (and Bill) is the tendency to do things that are unutterably stupid, that can have no benefit, but have the capacity to harm.
The rule here is simple: DON’T DO STUPID THINGS.

Original Star Trek…
An episode in which Klingons and Earthlings are together on the Enterprise…discord ensues, and it is over the top even for a Earthling-vs-Klingon rumble. An astute individual spots what looks to be a whirling dervish of energy.
What is it?
Aha! It is a CREATURE and it thrives when people get angry. The folks on the Enterprise decide not to get more angry. The creature gets bored and leaves.

Hindsight is 20/20
if at the time they anticipated a right wing sh!t storm I am sure they would have avoided each other.
Also let us consider the misogynistic angle of this story if a Male candidate’s wife discussed her grand kids with a mutual acquaintance in the airport would there be a story?
HOW DARE YOU!!!
NOW I AM EVEN ANGRIER!!!
oh wait never mind…

I wonder.
If you stuck a pin in Trump, would he fly around the room until he was completely deflated?
What would that sound like? Pfffffffpfpfpfpfpfpfpfpfpfpffffffft?
So many questions.

Agree. Lynch works for Obama for petes’ sake. The President and the AG meet? Woooo! Want to know how many times Bobby Kennedy met informally with Jack Kennedy when the former was AG? Want to know how many times Alberto Gonzales met with George W. Bush?
This is a ZERO issue. ZERO. They’ll be counting Obama’s bowel movements soon.
How could they NOT have anticipated that??? A candidate in a student council election could have seen it!
And if Ted Cruz were running while being investigated by the FBI, and his wife had a closed-door meeting with the AG, the press–and TPM–would be all over it.
Oh wait… (Major face palm) now I get the Republicans going berserk… The issue is that two black people got together and talked… without being supervised! They must be planning something, these black people!
Why didn’t I see this right away.
He was just over in the UK. He was showing off his Britspeak.
Agreed. This is all about appearances. ALL about appearances. Facts don’t matter here. When have facts mattered to the GOP?
The GOP has gone for years on witch hunts and lynch mobs based on much less than dinner with the AG while stupid crap like the e-mail stuff is going on.
This is like throwing nitro at a bonfire for GOPers. Mana from the heavens for conspiracy theorists and wackos. And it was totally avoidable.
Bubba’s way off his game. Very stupid move.

Two old friends meet at an airport and chat. Why is this a story at all. I ran into an old boss of mine in O’Hare airport last week. She had laid me off 10 years ago, but we stopped and chatted for about 10 minutes. Should I have run away from her?
To paraphrase from a few others here today, Where’s the story Lebowski?
If they had not chatted, here is the headline on Fox today:
Loretta Lynch snubs Bill Clinton at Airport…indictment on its way?

Donald, don’t become paranoid but maybe they were talking about how to get you.
Hilary Clinton is indeed under investigation by the FBI. The FBI answers to AG Lynch. And she meets with Bill Clinton? That is really bad judgement. (And I can’t believe Bill didn’t at least indirectly refer to the investigation.)
With the orange one everything comes in extremes: either something is the “the worst, terrible, horrible, the most horrible, etc.” or “the best, the most beautiful, the finest, the greatest.” There is no in-between range for the Trumpster. And worst of all he has a limited number of adjectives for each state of emotional outburst.

I’ve thought of that episode many times since this wretched election season started. I does seem like there are a lot of those anger-feeding entities loose on the planet.
No, she is not.
The FBI is investigating how classified material is handled by the State Department.
Hillary is not the subject of the investigation.

LOL Well, there’s that. They very well could’ve simply called each other, or actually scheduled an actual secret meeting, the kind no one knows about. He’s the former POTUS, she’s the top cop in the land, if they needed to chat I’m pretty sure they have people to do that for them.

Fair enough. At the time they prolly saw the encounter as completely innocuous.
When I was a wee lad I tended bar at a club. One evening the promoter’s gf leaned over the counter and gave me a peck.
After 6 hours of spilling liquor, beer, and grenadine on myself I went home tired. My then fiance, now wife, turned to me in bed and asked “who kissed you?”
I adamantly denied the kiss because it had slipped my mind, it was hours ago and a big bowl of nothing.
My future wife persisted and I kept denying.
Finally I remembered the peck from earlier in the evening. I was stunned. The future Mrs said she could smell the tramp’s perfume through the bar smell. My point?
Seemed innocent enough at the time. Lesson learned.

Gotta defend Lafe on this one. Yes, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Bubba saying Heya! to a friend, but when your wife, the Presidential candidate, who some think should be indicted for crimes against the state for [insert emails, Benghazi, Vince Foster murder here, etc.] by the current AG… No, Bubba, not the wisest decision, based on appearances, not facts.
