Page 203 of IG Report says Loretta Lynch-Bill Clinton tarmac meeting was planned via Secret Service, FBI
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Stunning revelations from the IG report of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz (an Obama appointee) suggests that the 2016 tarmac meeting between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton was coordinated — contradicting their claims that the meeting was accidental and coincidental.
In 2016, Lynch — the U.S. attorney general under Barack Obama — secretly met for 30 minutes with Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac in Arizona. At the time, then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was being investigated by the FBI over her 30,000 deleted emails and her destroyed government-issued phones, which she and her team smashed with hammers.
Page 203 of the IG report suggests that Bill Clinton’s Secret Service detail had contacted Lynch’s FBI detail to set up the meeting when their planes were on the tarmac:
“The OPA (Office of Public Affairs) Supervisor said that he later learned that former President Clinton’s Secret Service detail had contacted Lynch’s FBI security detail to let them know that the former President wanted to meet with Lynch . Although Lynch’s staff was supposed to receive notice of such 204 requests, witnesses told us that they were not informed of the request from former President Clinton.”
As BizPac Review has reported, Lynch and Clinton claimed they only discussed grandchildren and golf during their rendezvous.
“Our conversation was a great deal about grandchildren…and he mentioned golf he played in Phoenix,” Lynch said at the time.
Christopher Sign, an anchor for ABC News 3340 in Alabama, said there’s no evidence that Clinton had played golf during his visit. “Two years later and I have not found a person who can confirm that former President Clinton played golf during that trip to Phoenix,” Sign remarked.
And page 210 of the IG report states:
“The Senior Counselor said that when she tried to go back on the plane, she was stopped by the head of Lynch’s security detail, who was at the door of the plane. The Senior Counselor said that she told him that Lynch’s meeting with former President Clinton was not a good idea, and that she needed to get back on the plane, but he still would not let her on .
Less than a week after the Lynch-Clinton tarmac meeting, then-FBI Director James Comey (whose boss was Loretta Lynch) announced that the FBI would not recommend an indictment against Hillary. Coincidence?

No one can possibly believe they jumped though all these hoops to set up a secret meeting so they could discuss grandchildren, do they?
Busted....
More 'fluff' for the 'fluffers.'
Ex-presidents and serving Attorney Generals' always have Secret Service close at hand.
This 'piece' is searching for straws in the soybean field again.
Right wing is constantly trying to tag something on The Obama Administration. Perhaps the right wing should search porn archives to see if anything turns up. Then again, maybe they shouldn't. Its rough to look for dirt only to find out you are the one bringing it.
The Secret Service is always involved with Air Force One and the POTUS's security. It would be news if they were not.
This article is fluff in search of a nutty conspiracy theory.
Can you tell us what type of aircraft she was in, because it was NOT Air Force One. That designation is only used when a president is aboard. According to news reports Clinton knew she was arriving and had his flight crew wait for her.
You're correct, except the meeting was between a former POTUS and the (at that time current) AG. Obama wasn't there.
The IG report?
Where is the evidence of her supposed crimes? Republicans have been chasing your tails for 18 years to get Hillary and so far you have only achieved is making yourselves look like fools and wasting millions of dollars in the process.
Attacking Hillary has become a way for the GOP to defect their supporters attention from their failures or from serious issues that they would rather have ignored.
Are those the same soybeans that were destined for China until the new tariffs (gasp)..Now they just lying in a field rotting.
Nope. Let em' rot. They voted for the rot now they can eat the rot.
Yeah....rather than to give them to people who are starving right here in the US of A.
Lol' that's not exactly the issue
This 'piece' is searching for straws in the soybean field again.
And appears to have exposed a big fat biased AG crossing a bright red line!
Right wing is constantly trying to tag something on The Obama Administration.
All roads lead there
I don't really care...do you?
If any other First Lady would have worn a jacket with that slogan...…………………...but not this one. Why?
What lies? You mean the dems lied about meeting Russians in Obama Tower? Those lies?
"I really don't care--------do you?" What does that mean? And why did Melania--the exquisite dresser--choose that for that event?
[deleted]
What difference does it make?
Why?
Kinda like Gen Custer didn't care about all those thousands of Indian pony tracks.
Haaha...I could suggest a lot of things.
I saw Loretta Lynn live once...
Perhaps previously only The Shadow knew, but now the rest of the world has notice of "what evil lurks in the hearts of men (and women)". Previously clandestinely hidden, now exposed and all the bleating denials and ridicule from the Hillerians cannot cover up the cesspool.
Or you could actually READ the NEXT couple of paragraphs in the report and realize that the innuendo is bullshit.
I don't have to read the report to know this was a pre-arranged meeting. And everyone knows it, no matter how much the left denies it.
Everything is pre-arranged. You do know that, right?
On the upside, I'm sure Lynch and Clinton didn't discuss their Russian contacts like the Trump team were doing.
Of course it was pre-arranged. AF1 doesn't just land at an airport without previous security checks. This isn't like a road trip in your family truckster.
And proper security required the Attorney General to be there? Why not the POTUS?
Air Force 1 was not at that airport. Only when the currently serving president is aboard any fixed wing aircraft is it designated AF1. Rotary aircraft is Marine one.
Why do you care who the former POTUS meets? He does have a Secret Service security detail so they make arrangements for any flights.
Do you think that Slick Willy and Lynch are having an affair or was the meeting preliminary to some nefarious deep state meeting where they will sell us to a one-world government and force you into perpetual slavery in Vietnam working for a Chinese corporation?
No, not at all. Just a simple discussion about Hillary's culpability.
And you see nothing inappropriate about the AG who is investigating Hillary Clinton meeting with her husband? I hate to say it this way, but even you know it's wrong.
There is no evidence her airplane was AF1. Please provide proof.
Really bad job of deflection and denial.
So despite the facts you prefer to rely on the tingle down your leg. Got ya.
Nope, no matter how much y'all want to claim that how you FEEL about an issue should be the basis of everyone's opinion, there are STILL people that prefer to base their opinions on FACTS.
Why were a former POTUS and a current AG using AF-1? That plane is specifically for a sitting POTUS' use - at that time, it was Barack Obama.
Simple - they (the Obama Administration from POTUS down and its talons) planned on Hillary winning ... until she didn't ... and that's why they've all been caught with their pants down.
Please post a link from a reliable source that proves that Lynch lied about anything.
And the reliable source in YOUR mind would be ?
Funny word these days.....reliable !
Abused ..... just like other words Democrats, Leftists and Progressive types have thrown out there.....over and over and over again.
This word …. reliable ...…. is Useless too !
Pretty links you have there. Which one of them proves that Lynch lied?
Nope, it's no funnier than it ever was. What's SAD is that all too few are willing to acknowledge what it means and want to pretend that meaning has changed. It hasn't.
"Please post a link from a reliable source"
I notice YOU didn't give a source you would be proud of.
So YOU were just pretending ?
How long are you going to continue this charade?
Maybe they buried the incriminating documents under a pizza shop?
Hillary is satan in a pantsuit and sensible heels.
Sorry epi, but I CAN NOT resist this, and I am going straight to hell.....
her pant suits reminded me of my grandmothers couch covers , and they looked better on the couch , as for the sensible shoes , most women her age develop Canckles so they make sense , and since cowboys like fat calves, just only in the cow pen not on women .
damn I hate it when I decide to have some devilish fun.....
I asked for a link that PROVES that Lynch lied. None of your links prove that she lied about anything. The report doesn't say she lied about anything, nor does it prove that their meeting was 'planned'. Y'all are welcome to believe whatever you want but claiming that what you believe is a fact that is a totally different thing altogether.
Gee Norman, it kinda looks like your running your seed off topic.
BTFW, that's not much of a challenge since Flynn pled guilty to lying.
I thought that's what your seed was supposed to prove and that was all you had. Are you saying you have been holding back vital information? Because your seed is a dude.
Always.
Well since at least I don't get paid to post here, the hell of it will just have to do.
Why yes, YES Norman, they do.
What do you suspect Hillary Clinton being guilty of, except bad taste and a personality that could turn kittens away? Is she a member of the super-duper secret Bilderbergers who schemes to sell all white male Trump voters into white slavery for her next pair for low heeled pumps and a gold butt plug crafted from the molar fillings of both Karl Marx and Saul Alinsky?
As quoted in the article:
The IG report DOESN'T say that the meeting WAS 'planned'.
You can't make me see a lie that doesn't exist anywhere but in your mind.
Did you forget that you already replied to that comment Tex?
Please proceed...
Actually, that's a valid statement. I feel the same way about people who criticize me for posting articles from The Gatestone Institute.
Is that why you pulled the seed?
Constructive criticism is one thing, attacking a member is another. The extent of being uncivil is indicated by the scores of flags each day.
Please post the link to my comment that you claim 'attacked a member'.
Who would you know how many flags any given member gets each day?
If conservatives would stop flagging comments just because they don't like the content, our Mods would have an easier time of it.
Oh and I'll note that no matter how many of my comments that y'all DO flag, they are RARELY removed for CoC violations.
BTW, you didn't answer my question.
Do you sincerely trust the pronouncements of this alt-right loon?
You are referring to an article I deleted long ago, and frankly, although I know why I deleted it, which I said, I don't recall exact quotations or comments - sorry, but at my age my memory is no longer perfect. Perhaps if you had asked contemporaneously with my deleting the article, my memory might have been better.
The answer to your question about whether my being criticized, and in my opinion neither constructively nor civilly nor fairly, the answer would be yes.
Only mods, declared and undeclared, are aware of flags. That's all I'm going to tell you.
It wasn't that 'long ago' and it's interesting that you had no problem remembering that I was ONE of the members criticizing your Gatestone seed. I will say though that my criticism wasn't merely the source since I proved that the posit of the seed was a lie.
I have no idea what question you are talking about.
Ohhh intrigue.
No worries, I'll ask Perrie about it.
BTW, I see that you didn't link my comment that you claim was an attack on another member. Please do so or retract your false accusation. You're all about civility right?
IMPASSE
Dulay,
When someone calls impasse there is no further commentary. Comment removed.
You mean like Nunes meeting with Trump people to convey any information The House Investigative Team discovers concerning the investigation into Russian actions?
The same can be said of you. You are the King of snark, yet, you feel you have the right to tell others what to do. Try taking your own advice for a change.
That is something that really needs to be proven.
Link please
Wow, you really stretched hard for that one.
So the author of your BS link states:
And as 'proof' for that, the author then quotes Gowdy's question:
So as you can see, Gowdy did NOT 'explicitly ask' Lynch 'whether she used any email accounts other than her official email'.
No LIE.
Thanks for playing...
still waiting for proof...
But Norman, you said that you would happily show me proof 'that Loretta lied her ass off'. I'm just waiting for you to fulfill your promise.
BTFW, if you think my comment was a CoC violation, flag it, don't reply to it. If you didn't flag it, inferring that it is a violation is BAD FORM.
While others pretend ad nauseam that they have provided proof to support their comments even though any thinking person here can see for their own eyes that they haven't.
Unless you care about your credibility.
Don't think it's gone unnoticed just how hard it's been for you.
It does show that most conservatives are incredibly gullible. No wonder they're prone to believing such loony conspiracy theories.
There is a saying about the Palestinians that 'they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity'. As for quite a few NT members, I would change that to that 'they never miss an opportunity to insult others'.
Spot on!!
Interesting read … while I was out searching for "congress forcing H. Clinton to testify under oath" .. I ran across several articles regarding the tarmac meeting … bad bad bad optics seemed to be the general consensus, which made me laugh - optics is not even half of what made this meeting a bad idea...
Some sources even report that B. Clinton was already on the tarmac and delayed his departure and crossed to the other side of the airport in order to have the (not so) clandestine meeting with Lynch … what was said in the meeting is all speculation .. and what took place a week later is all speculation that the meeting had anything to do with not being able to prove intent in regards to the private email server and the sending and receiving of classified information …. Comey call H. extremely careless .. when most feel he should have said gross negligence ...
I doubt we will ever know what took place .. perhaps in the future B. Clinton will be arrogant enough to write about the meeting in his memoirs (?)
P.s.. if Airforce One was at the airport, does that mean Obama was part of this meeting as well?
Comey's original report stated "gross negligence" ... but "someone" made him change it to "extremely careless". Gross negligence indicates criminal intent, and the Obama administration couldn't afford to expose Hillary's criminality to the public.
According to some posters on this seed, AF-1 was the plane on which B. Clinton and Lynch met to talk about "golf and grandkids". That means that Obama was there, too. How interesting!
the planes that serve as AF-1 do not become AF-1 until the president is aboard, at any other time they use different call signs.
Yes, I know. As you can see in my comment 13.1 , all I said was ...
Wow, you are the first one of your group to admit that fact. Cheers.
Good point .. for Comey to seek no indictment of H. based on the lack of proof regarding intent - the wording had to be flowery. I never thought that H. would be found guilty, but I did not think intent would be the thing to prevent the indictment … I would think that setting up a private server for government emails would show enough intent to indict.
I was wrong
Setting up a private server for government emails isn't a crime.
The private email server shows intent .. but since 'intent' could not be proven, no one will ever know why a private server was 'necessary' .. I do not buy that a private server somehow was convenient and lightened her load of multiple devices .. which is just speculation on my behalf - - - this will go down in history as an unsolved mystery : )
Still is frustrating that some think that a private email account is in anyway the same as a private server for private email accounts..
This is a dated as well as a rather long article, but I found it to be worth the time spent reading.. goes into great detail on the rules and the lack there of within State department ...
As we've seen play out, the whole HRC investigation ... errrrr "matter" ... was a farce. Comey wrote his exoneration before the FBI interviewed her. if "intent" (criminality) had been found, their candidate (HRC) would be prosecuted and found guilty and the WH, DoJ, and FBI knew it. Obama, through Lynch as his mouthpiece, made Comey change his wording after they read his original conclusion.
Per rules and the contract HRC signed when she was SoS, she was not allowed to transmit or receive classified government-related emails through a private server. She deliberately did this many times - at home and abroad - including with the POTUS. If that doesn't show intent, I don't know what does!
Preaching to the converted Jasper …
NO one in the Obama administration was surprised when the server came to light either - great orator. excellent condescending look of boredom when speaking to the American people .. however, the shocked look was not the former President's strong suit....
Wow! What page is THAT on in the IG report? /s
If only 'common knowledge' had any relationship to FACTS. As it rarely does, I prefer PROOF and am still waiting for you to post some that proves that Lynch LIED as you asserted.
Why keep making what has been proven is a false statement? NONE of your links prove the Lynch LIED. That is a FACT.
What I refuse to accept is a false assertion. You've made more than one in this thread alone.
The only 'common knowledge' at issue here about the topic at hand and the false assertions by you and others. Y'all can't prove anything you claim so you obfuscate and deflect.
Keep
.
12.1.66 was comical. Thanks for the laugh.
So what conspiracy theory are you claiming your video proves?
By the way, you seem to have veered away from defending the posit of your seed. I hope that is because you recognize that it's bullshit.
Sorry right wingers you've gotten all of the political spin out of this harmless meeting between old friends that you're going to.
You do realize that there are inventions called telephones where they could have talked all day don't you? But since everything is a conspiracy to far right wingers..............
Yeah....old friends,
Ka-BOOM!
Of course Clinton's Secret Service detail and Lynch's FBI detail coordinated with each other. That's what they do. Trying to make this fact sound ominous just shows the ignorance of far right wing propagandists and their target audience. Amazing how they can make innuendo last for so many years with no facts other than two old friends running into each other.
It was called a "Misspeak".
Since when do republicans care about lies? If they accuse someone else of doing something, its good odds they do it themselves. All this shit that has hit the fan since Trump became pres, and somehow this old bullshit (pales beside what has gone on with Trump and Comey). So much crap with Trump, and you want to make us care about some old litigated bs? And since you don't really care about lies (we would notice), why should anybody else?
Since no one in politics really cares about lying, why should anyone else ?
It always just comes down to how good things are going for folks....lies and all.
One can't talk about 'lies' and NOT talk about republicans. Kindly address why you care about one party and not the other? Why seed about this and go on others and defend Trump and other republicans who lie, far more, under oath and about far more timely and important things? Because this seed is nothing more than deflection from what the Trump/gop is doing right now AND you defend them doing it!
And AGAIN. You can't talk about lies and NOT TALK ABOUT TRUMP AND GOP. You can't just ignore and pretend one side has a problem, that would make this entire seed a LIE. So sick and tired of conservative gaslighting.
Excellent observation, cjcold.
Now you need to explain why Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch didn't choose your easy (and obvious) option but instead arranged a clandestine meeting involving Secret Service detail on an airport tarmac where no reporters or photographers were allowed and then lied about its "spontaneity".
Exactly. Pretty obvious that Clinton and Lynch have been friends for a long time, but if they talk....Ho boy!!!! The conspiracy game is on. But then you have to remember that these people believed that the Clinton's were running a child sex ring out of a fucking pizza parlor basement, in downtown Manhattan....and the damn place didn't even have a basement. But some of these people bought it hook, line and sinker... Sad. But then these are the same people that now think the FBI are the bad guys, and Russia is the good guys.
So, Clinton makes the entire airport diddle daddle around him to talk about golf and grand children. Apparently Clinton played imaginary golf because no one can vouch for him. Or is golf a code word for something else?
reminds me of a 90s haircut at LAX......
Yes, for Trump it's code for work.
That is why I have no respect for any rightwing LEO, gov't contractor, or past and present gov't employee that lets that statement fly here. If you are one of the aforementioned, you know why.
It's a good thing that the nation's far right conspiracy nuts are zeroed in on this drivel. Maybe with their obsession on this they will leave the rest of us alone about the Trump investigations.
Who needs another box of crayons?
