Obama AG Lynch refuses to discuss notorious Clinton tarmac meeting with Russia probe
[Wash Times] Former President Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch met behind closed doors with a congressional Russian election meddling probe on Friday.Republicans were eager to question her about an infamous tarmac meeting with former President Bill Clinton in June 2016, a meeting which has triggered suspicions about the Obama Department of Justice’s impartiality toward Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton at the height of the election. But Mrs. Lynch refused to discuss the meeting before the House Intelligence Committee on Friday, according to Fox News. Mrs. Lynch has been accused of attempting to influence the FBI’s investigation into Mrs. Clinton’s private email use while secretary of state ‐ and both she and Mr. Clinton say the meeting at the Phoenix airport was a chance social encounter. In June, during highly anticipated testimony, fired FBI Director James Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee that the Lynch-Clinton tarmac meeting caused him to hold a press conference on Mrs. Clinton’s email case.
