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

#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.

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

#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.

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

#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...

#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?

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

#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'?

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

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

#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?

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

Yes, I love stories about grandchildren.

#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.

#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.
