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.
