RealClearInvestigations says they’ve obtained a transcript of the House Judiciary Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s interview of Loretta Lynch about the meeting on the tarmac between her and former President Bill Clinton on June 27, 2016. You might find it interesting.
Sounds very plausible.
I think the question, Gray, is “what’s plausible?â€
That Clinton was sending a not very subtle message – that’s a nice house you got there. Be a shame if anything happened to it. Or….
Lynch concocted (in expectation of litigation, as the lawyers say) a nice sanitary, if bizarre, story to cover an explicit “the fix is in†meeting. We already know that the “I’ll go with the FBI†stance was a sham. The fix was in and Comey knew it.
Now I know that could never happen. After all, oh, say just for example a Susan Rice, would never write an email on the last day in office saying “I just want to memorialize that Obama previously said to do everything by the book.†Why just today I wrote a note to file saying that I dutifully ate my vegetables in March. Yeah, that’s how the world works…….
Based on what I’ve seen in the press, the BS detector trips at secret transcript disclosed by unknown critters. If they got it, publish it and alongside their take. However, it is reminiscent of conversations where future potential is recognized and a case file sorta falls between the cabinets later.
Speaking of unsolved mysteries from 2016.

How extensive was the intelligence investigation into Trump’s campaign?
Now that the Vice President Biden has left retirement and campaigning for a restoration; it is fair to ask his administration what did they do in 2016 in investigating Trump’s campaign. If the news was so alarming, who was told, was Lynch told, was Biden told, was Obama told, who approved these actions that they insist were legal?
“Yeah, that’s how the world works…….”
Yeah, the way it works is that you have secret meetings in the middle of a runway where everyone can see. No, I dont think so. The way it really works has been demonstrated by Don Jr, Kushner and the campaign manager. You have a meeting in private in a hotel and you dont tell anyone. (Really, we should give credit to the Trump campaign in demonstrating that Americans still have the know how and motivation to do corruption properly.)

It’s pretty funny; realclearinvestigations points out Comey wanted a special counsel called to investigate the whole thing.
But he didn’t; I suppose because he figured Hillary would win or he loathed Trump.
Yet he ended up leaking to the press to get a special counsel called when he got called canned; in part over his mishandling of the affair.
Or, Bill was providing requested cover to Lynch so she could justify handing the decision to Comey. Hard to visualize Bill being able to synchronize proximity at the tarmac without her knowledge and co-operation.
