He Did it on Purpose!
Come on, media! Wake up to a little political gamesmanship, if not an outright Machiavellian gambit. President Clinton may be a little long of tooth, but he was fully aware, as was AG Lynch, that his tarmac meeting would cause a firestorm. Just long enough, 30 minutes, and just in time for the media to stew over this long week-end. Not to mention the heads-up to a sap Fox reporter who would rush it to His Majesty Ailes. Game – set – match. Of course it has more than the appearance of an ethics violation, as any hayseed lawyer knows. WHY DID HE DO IT? First, the former pres knows (for reasons not stated here) that HRC will not be indicted by the FBI. When that announcement is made, AG Lynch and President Obama will be fully insulated from any claims of undue influence over the FBI’s decision, as the former has literally recused herself from the latter’s proceeding. Second, and more important, the FBI can claim that they received no undue influence from the AG or the White House. The result being a clean White House record and an enhanced credibility of the FBI, the latter significant in view of recent charges that the FBI has been cleaning the White House laundry. Have a nice holiday Fox and MSNBC.
