-Lurid Crime Tales-
Loretta Lynch joins host of other women: 'I Wish I Had Not *Ever* Met Bill Clinton'
[Breitbart] Sunday on CNN’s "State of the Union," Attorney General Loretta Lynch said she wish she had not met on tarmac in Arizona during the 2106 presidential campaign with former President Bill Clinton.

Lynch said, "I wish I had seen around that corner and not had that discussion with the former president, as innocuous as it was, because it did give people concern. It did make people wonder is it going to affect the investigation that’s going on, and that’s not something that was an unreasonable question for anyone to ask."

"And my view is and always has been that when you are in public life or even in private life and you make a mistake, you own it, and you talk about it right away," she continued. "You let people know what you’re going to do to deal with the impact of that mistake."

#1  Except for the fact that she *didn't* "own it" when it mattered, didn't resign, etc...

#2  Apparently everything was 'on track' until HRC lost the election. Now she admits the meeting was an error in judgement, an inability to 'see around corners.'

You're done! Clean out your desk. Harold here will see you to the exit.

#3  Why the regret? She said all they discussed were the grandkids.

#4  She is only upset because the optics helped lose McKacklepants the election.

#5  When morality, truth, and law are considered 'fluid', we already know what you are. Bill was just negotiating the price.

#7  Loretta Lynch joins host of other women: 'I Wish I Had Not *Ever* Met With Bill Clinton'

There, that should correct the sentence to show its true meaning.

Michael Moore offers to pay fines for faithless electors who refuse to vote for Donald Trump
[TWITCHY] Seems like there should be laws against suborning or intimidating electors.

#3  Seems like there should be laws against suborning or intimidating electors.

There are 57 50 states. I'd bet that at least one of them classify electors as public officials engaged in official duties and can meet the requirement for suborning. Motor mouth engaged his tongue before his brain.

#5  Constitutes a BRIBE.

#6  Arrange the vote so that a maximum number of electors can vote 'present' while still getting Trump elected president. Take Moore's money and donate it to the RNC.

#8  Electoral College
Posted by: Alaska Paul || 12/19/2016 13:05 Comments || Top||

#9  Whether or not the founding fathers of Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, and Hamilton thought of it at the time, the Electoral College trumps voter fraud.

Doing away with the Electoral College incentivizes voter fraud. There was obviously massive voter fraud with huge numbers of illegals voting or being voted in favor of Clinton. Committing massive fraud in one state could tip an election.

Because of the Electoral College, the voter fraud in a few Democratic strangle hold states could not undo the fair voting the rest of the country.

For that reason, the Electoral College must be kept. And the Democrats and their machine politics of fraud know it.

#10  Michael Moore:
"Hey electors - vote your conscience and I will pay your fine."

Electors:
"OK. Switching my vote from Clinton to Sanders."

#11  Electors:
"Actually, Colin Powell gets my vote, mostly because of his dikn' bimbos line."

Michael Moore:
"mmmmmm."

#1  I still love the fact that 4 electors in Washington followed their conscience and didn't vote for Hillary.

HAHA!! Be careful what you wish for libtards!

#4  Watch for them to really jack up the Russian hacked the election story.

never mind that it would require physically tampering with each voting machine.

#5  Yes, 2 turned on Trump, but 4 turned on the Hildabeast. (Heh)

Oh, please, please, please...

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
