Yes...but she won't.  How else can she provide cover.

I'm sure Bill laid it out very clearly what to do and what could happen if she doesn't.

Does she lift weights?

lol...I wasn't insinuating anything that extreme (although not out of the question).

He probably simply reminded her that the Clintons made her and they can break her.

TXHoops- what is your opinion regarding this situation?

Old Bill may have slipped her a little willie!

Just happened to meet!   Just talked primarily about grandchildren!   Male bovine feces.   As George Strait sang, I got some ocean front property in Arizona.

He probably handed her the list of the 50 or so "convenient" deaths of people associated with the Clintons, and ask her if she wanted her name added to it.

Another link worth a look.   Little better graphics lol

The corruption here is flagrant.  Of course, the Clinton Foundation has been flagrant all along. Nothing will happen as long as the Democrats are in control. As the lying, commie, crooked female dog says "What difference, at this point, does it make?" Nothing to see here, move along...

If anything was discussed regarding the investigation, she has a legal and ethical obligation to appoint a special prosecutor.  If it was small talk and pleasantries, no such obligation exists.  

Obviously when an AG has to investigate the President who appointed them, a special prosecutor should be appointed due to the inherent conflict.  However, many will do so in situations like this to avoid the "appearance of impropriety."   Ultimately though, all they need to do is get someone appointed who is "friendly" to their particular party and the appointed one does not hold office and is actually has less at stake professionally.  The effect is often just passing the buck to accomplish a certain end without the public scrutiny to the officeholder.

So to answer the question, first it really depends on what was said (legally and ethically).   Second, if nothing was discussed about the investigation, whether Lynch believes she can do the job she was appointed to do without bias (which is a moral issue to me).  And I think we can safely assume her position there.

Oh, and I realize that was a technical and somewhat cynical answer, Nash.  If you're asking me what I would do, I don't know the intricacies of her relationship with the Clintons.  I think once you get past the initial legal issue, it becomes a personal moral one.  To put it in perspective, I would not feel comfortable leading an investigation involving you, REBgp, or a number of people on this site who I know and with whom I am friendly.  It would not be a legal obstacle but certainly a moral one to me.  Therefore I would absolutely recuse myself from the situation and appoint someone independent to do the job.  

 

And hopefully one with more of a moral compass than Ken Starr

It dont matter because the FBI is gonna side with Clinton obama is not gonna let her go down because she knows to much on him!

Heck no, if it's me, no recuse!  And every time I'm called before you, I'll be wearing burnt orange

I am really struggling with the "suggestion" that one of them landed and waited 30 minutes on the tarmac for the other to land to simply exchange "pleasantries"

Yep, just happened to meet.  As the church lady on snl use to say, "How convenient".  I'd be curious to know when the last time was that Bill & Loretta just sit down and had a personal conversation.  Just the two of them.

[stevenash]

It was pure coincidence that Mr. Clinton and Mrs. Lynch landed at the airport almost at the same time.  It also was pure coincidence that the FBI had their extended interview with Mrs. Clinton shortly after that meeting.   TxHoops, do these two have, as you say, a good "moral compass"?

And these two go way back...I'm sure Bill feels she "owes" him.

Guarantee  FBI will find no wrong doing (corruption continues) although we all know she is crooked as a snake! 

[PhatMack19]

FBI is on now.  Hillary is going to walk 

[PhatMack19]

Hillary didn't mean to do it.  End of story.  Move along

Told ya, crooks take care of their own kind!

[baddog]

How does one accidentally do something repeatedly?

[77]

He did say they found 110 classified documents so there is no doubt she lied to us all about that!

[JWB]

Dang Shame!!! the FBI Director is bought and paid for!
