Story’s abound across the media today, regarding the so-called “accidental” airport meeting between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton last Monday. 

According to supposedly inside sources, the AG was caught completely off guard by the encounter, dismissing the fact that allegations have been made that she waited there to see him.

Others say it was Bill who was maneuvering for time with her because his plane had been scheduled to leave before hers arrived. Yet, he waited at the airport for her, then boarded her plane for a 30-minute conversation.

While the actual truth of this matter will likely never be known to the public, Phoenix’s Sky Harbor airport isn’t a major destination for individuals at the level of those involved in this case. Which leads to the suspicion that the meeting not only didn’t happen by chance, but took a considerable amount of planning and organization beforehand. 

Confirmation of pre-planning came from a local reporter who received a tip about it. 

Christopher Sign, morning anchor at ABC15 in Phoenix, explained to Bill O'Reilly that he received a tip from a "trusted source" about the meeting and then met with management at the station. 

All of which leads to the crux of the matter, which raises a far bigger question than those regarding this particular circumstance. Because if a reporter stumbled upon the meeting by chance occurrence, how many others take place in clandestine settings regarding collusion, information exchange, secret agreements or arrangements or any number of other 

prohibited activities between individuals who shouldn’t be together at all for any reason? 

   

Thus, what this situation proves is that if political beings are involved in any way, the real chances of honesty and integrity are less than zero and always will be.

One of the reasons, among many, that the administration seems to be going out of its way to aid, abet and support Bill Clinton’s wife can be found in an article from washingtontimes.com, back on January 27, 2016, by Kelly Riddell who wrote the following:

“Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton said she “loves” the idea of appointing Barack Obama to the Supreme Court if she’s elected president. 

“At a campaign event in Iowa Tuesday, Mrs. Clinton told the crowd the next president may have to appoint up to three Supreme Court justices. When one attendee mentioned Mr. Obama as a contender, she seemed excited by the recommendation. 

“Wow, what a great idea. No one has ever suggested that to me, I love that, wow,” Mrs. Clinton said. “He may have a few other things to do, but I tell you, that’s a great idea. 

“I mean, he’s brilliant, he can set forth an argument and he was a law professor,” she added. “So he’s got all the credentials, but we would have to get a Democratic Senate to get him confirmed.” 

And if that doesn’t stimulate the Independents to come out in droves in support of Trump in November's presidential vote, nothing will.

Then, a Facebook friend posted this one this morning:

Bringing us to today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife.

Whether or not the airport meeting cited above, between Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton has anything to do with it or not, the Attorney General now claims that the FBI’s investigation of Bill’s wife is in Director James Comey’s individual control.

According to Julian Hattem @thehill.com: “FBI Director James Comey is now firmly in the driver’s seat of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, after Attorney General Loretta Lynch pledged she would accept whatever course of action his bureau and career prosecutors recommend.

“While I don't have a role in those findings and coming up with those findings or making those recommendations as to how to go forward, I'll be briefed on it and I will be accepting their recommendations,” she said.”

Director Comey is a Republican, widely respected by GOP lawmakers and known for a streak of independence. Clashing repeatedly with the White House since he took office nearly three years ago, the issues ranged from the use of encryption technologies to the ability to vet Syrian refugees coming to the U.S. and the existence of the so-called “Ferguson effect” on policing efforts. 

He’s also shown willingness to buck GOP leaders as well, “such as a famous 2004 episode when he rushed to a Washington hospital to block the George W. Bush White House from renewing a warrantless wiretapping program while then-Attorney General John Ashcroft laid ill. 

“He is a pro’s pro,” said Matthew Whitaker, a former U.S. attorney and head of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, a watchdog group. “And I think this takes the pressure off of him that whatever the FBI recommends will be followed, where before I am certain he would be concerned that there will be political interference from the attorney general.” 

Thus, if the Attorney General can be believed, which is certainly not an absolute, this investigation may truly rest on its merits. And, if that’s the actual case, an indictment is surely possible, if not highly likely. Which certainly brings up the ongoing question once again: Joe Biden, Jerry Brown, and Starbucks chairman and CEO, Howard Schultz; are  you guys reading this?  

That’s it for today folks.
