Populist Reform of the Democratic Party
In reply to the discussion: How everyone looks bad because Bill Clinton met with Loretta Lynch [View all]elfin
(6,262 posts)7. The incident tells me that the Clintons are REALLY worried about the out
Thinking he could schmooze Lynch in order to repair, deny, or somehow skirt the report was a huge mistake.
If their inside FBI contacts alerted them to a coming disaster, that may have prompted this contact. If so - big backfire. I really like Lynch. I no longer like Bill at all.
This whole thing is horrible - election-losing horrible on so many fronts - especially the optics reflecting on judgement and character, no matter how mild compared to Republicans.

personal opinion = false premise not supported by fact - "how everyone looks bad..."

Lynch said it made her look bad. Your criticism of posting unsupported personal opinion is ironic.

Haven't heard a darn thing about that lately, either. It's all Lynch and Bill. Lynch and Bill. Lynch
