ACLJ: DOJ Document Dump Shows Lynch-Clinton Tarmac Summit Planned, Media Coverup
2017-08-06
[LI] When former President Bill Clinton met with then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch at an Arizona airport, the gross impropriety of the "tarmac summit" was immediately evident. Clinton’s wife and 2016 Democrat presidential hopeful was then under FBI investigation for her server and email scandals. The impropriety was pooh-poohed away by a defensive AG, a disinterested media, a complicit FBI, and the corrupt Clinton clan.

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has released 413 pages of memos obtained from the DOJ that show the "tarmac summit" was planned and that the media was working with the Obama-Lynch DOJ to downplay and bury the entire incident.

The ACLJ in their article entitled, "DOJ Document Dump to ACLJ on Clinton Lynch Meeting: Comey FBI Lied, Media Collusion, Spin, and Illegality," reports:
Lengthy and disgusting.

#15  What #7 NoMoreBS said. From the Clinton era and the Obama era, there has been a liberal salting of lefties in universities, governmental agencies, charities, activist groups, Wall Street, and the media.

#14  Ditto Frank. Snark of the day....

My biggest disappointment in escrow is the failure of some of Trump's appointees to uphold the rule of law as opposed to the rule of DC.

#12  Question #1: Can't Jeff Sessions order these documents to be released without redaction?

Yes, I love stories about grandchildren.

#11  Question #1: Can't Jeff Sessions order these documents to be released without redaction?

Question #2: How can DOJ justify the redaction? Surely not national security. Could it be there is a pending indictment?

#10  secure in the fact that they can not be fired.

That can be changed. Governor Scott Walker set the precedent in Wisconsin.

#9  ...and the only reason we know about any of this is because of one local reporter. I'm sure it's not an understatement to say 'what else have they done that we may never find out'?

#8   8 years of salting the senior levels of the civil service in every agency with radical progressive sympathizers/agents during the Champ years is now on display.

With the DoJ, State, and other agencies, it's been going on longer than that.

#7  8 years of salting the senior levels of the civil service in every agency with radical progressive sympathizers/agents during the Champ years is now on display. Secure in many cases of the double protections of affirmative action and civil service, they are covert sources for the left, and are being assured that they will be heroes of the revolution when the next Demorat takes office. Consider now the meeting of Obama, the Wookie, Oprah, Geffen and Tom Hanks on the yacht at a remote island resort. Wonder what was discussed? Wonder if ValJar was there?

#6  All of the apparatchiks are exercising their Bureaucratic Vetoes secure in the fact that they can not be fired. Sometimes it makes one nostalgic for the Spoils System...

#5  "Unredacted." My spellcheck doesn't spell too well--me either.

#4  DOJ needs to be sued for the in-redacted version of these talking point notes. Actually, I think the suit is being filed tomorrow.

#3  Just a criminal organization, albeit an incompetent one - because used to immunity.

#2  Excerpt from Powerline.

Right. Lynch’s DOJ created talking points about the meeting, but they apparently are secret, as they were redacted from all of the emails that contained them. How a FOIA exception could apply to those talking points, which were designed to be shared with reporters, is a mystery. But that is how the Obama administration responded to all FOIA requests on controversial matters: with evasion and obfuscation if not with outright lies. And President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions do not yet, and may not ever, control the Department of Justice.

My emphasis added.

#1  Of course the "tarmac summit" was planned. Why redact someone's discussions about grandchildren. Yoggi Berra 'coincidences' quote clearly applies.
