Hopefully, we would be rid of her forever.


From my keyboard to God's ear.

She should be, but she is a member of the protected class in the USA.
Why? On what charge?

True, I agree there's a protected class, but I hope you're including politicians like Bob McDonnell in that class. I remember when Spiro Agnew was charged with bribery, extortion and conspiracy and he resigned as VP. Did he go to jail? Reagan should have been impeached for the Iran-Contra affair. What about all the marines killed in Beirut? Bush and Cheney were never charged with war crimes. I have a longer list, but I think I've made my point. She might not be squeaky clean, but IMHO setting up an email server in one's home pales in comparison, especially since the IG reported Colin Powell violated the same Federal Records Act.

Yes, Republicans are corrupt as well, and have been protected. And what Powell did was nothing like what Hillary did. Again, you would have to be living under a rock not to know that at this point.
My comments are in red.

If Lynch is a friend of the Clinton's, then she is definitely corrupt.
The Clinton crime family has been corrupt for their entire life, they have so much power they have so far gotten away with all of their crimes, but their time is coming..
How can you possible support that family, only a sucker could be so totally taken in by liars... They are picking your pocket while you cheer them on...
It appears some people like to be abused/used/taken advantage of. Or they are blind to see it. That's the only logical explanation I can come up with. Bizarre and sad.

They didn't meet on the tarmac, they met inside a private jet.

The media was given an anonymous tip about the meeting (most likely from someone in one of the security details), that is the only way this become public.

At the very least, it shows unbelievably bad judgment from two people that know better.

This is so bad that Lynch should step down from the AG position immediately. You simply can't have an AG with this kind of bad judgment, or one that possible was trying to have a secret meeting to ensure Hillary would be protected. Either way, she can't undo what she did, and should step down.
Certainly agree. Sorry, out of reps for now.

It doesn't matter if she’s indicted, Democrats will still vote for her.

First they met on the tarmac. Check the weather in Phoenix. It was 103 and probably 10 degrees higher on the tarmac. So they went inside her plane, which was probably not a great idea, but they're old friends. He nominated her to serve as US Attorney.

Which one of them is running for President?

I skipped the part where you talked about the "anonymous tip" to the media, since it's foolish. People like Bill Clinton can't even blow their noses without someone from the media noticing.

This election is a choice between two hugely flawed candidates, or, the lesser of two evils. In this case, Trump comes out on top, mainly because of Supreme Court Justice appointments.

Interesting take. But, let's be clear: Lynch saying that she's going to follow the FBI/DOJ's recommendation on this matter is a smokescreen. Indeed, the buck ultimately stops with Obama, who has already stated that Hillary has done "nothing wrong."

It would make interesting theater to see her walked down the isle in hand cuffs

Something tells me that "crazy Bernie" would have the same grin on his face as when LBJ found out it was his turn
It would make the RNC, which is going to be a pure circus, look like a nunnery by comparison
