Bill Clinton's At It Again

Note:  This post was written shortly after the Clinton-Lynch story broke.  I kept it in draft form and then as time passed I decided not to post it.  But I've changed my mind. Enjoy.


I can only imagine what Attorney General Loretta Lynch was thinking and feeling when Bill Clinton boarded her plane to have a "social" conversation smack dab in the middle of a federal investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a personal server for transmitting email that contained classified information.

I know that many, if not most people think that the encounter was part of a scheme to make Hillary's legal troubles go away.  I listened to countless discussions that basically summed it up this way; the Clinton's offered Lynch a sweet deal, that if she determined the FBI's findings favorable for Hillary, then she (Lynch) would be rewarded with a high-profile appointment in the Clinton administration (should she become president).

Lynch says that her conversation with Bill Clinton at the Phoenix airport didn't include discussions about Benghazi or the State Department emails.  She said they discussed the current news of the day such as Brexit, former Attorney General Janet Reno, their travels and a great deal about his grandchildren.  I believe her.



I don't know a whole lot about Lynch, but I seriously doubt that a promise of an appointment (or reappointment), if Hillary wins, was enough for Lynch to jeopardize her reputation and career.  What if Clinton loses? Some say she was returning a favor to Bill for nominating her to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York back in 1999.  That's doubtful.  As far as appointments go, at this point (well certainly before this scandal) Lynch sits in the catbird's seat and has opportunities galore. She was even considered the top candidate to replace Scalia on the Supreme Court but asked that her name be withdrawn from consideration.

In reading as much as I could find on Lynch's background, she appears to have a solid reputation prosecuting criminal cases involving both democrats and republicans, police misconduct cases, including the high-profile Abner Louima case, terrorism cases and various civil and corruption cases involving corporations. However, she is not without controversy, most notably her vigorous use of civil forfeiture and her apparent kid glove treatment of HSBC during a mega money laundering case.

Still, is it possible that Lynch struck a deal with the Clintons?  Of course, anything's possible.  But I think what's more likely is that Bill Clinton decided to do what he's alleged to have done many times before, he imposed himself on a woman to get his way.  There's a track record if you believe the accusers.

• Juanita Broderick claimed that as a volunteer for Clinton's campaign in the late 70's, she agreed to meet with him at her hotel for coffee. She says that Clinton asked to go to her room to avoid reporters.  Once there, according to Broderick, Clinton raped her and bit hit on her lip.
• Kathleen Wiley claimed that while alone with Clinton in the Oval Office in 1993 he groped her.
• Paula Jones claimed that Clinton had her escorted to his room in a Little Rock, Arkansas hotel where he propositioned her and exposed himself. (This incident eventually resulted in Clinton's impeachment, a monetary settlement with Jones and the suspension of his law license.).
• Eileen Wellstone claimed that Clinton raped her in 1969 after she met him at a pub near Oxford University.  Clinton was a Rhodes Scholarship student at the time.
• And a litany of women that claim to have had sexual affairs with him including Monica Lewinsky, Jennifer Flowers, Dolly Kyle, Sally Perdue and former Miss Arkansas, Lencola Sullivan.

What's the point of bringing up these old stories?  Because they demonstrate a pattern.  The meeting with Lynch was not sexual in nature, but the process was the same--isolate the woman and go after what you want.  According to reports, Bill Clinton was preparing to leave Phoenix (he was there for one of Hillary's political events).  His plane was on the tarmac waiting for him to arrive.  Lynch's plane (with her onboard) was 75 yards away (she was in town for a law enforcement event) .  As the FBI and Secret Service patiently waited to complete the logistical coordination with their planes and motorcades, things began to go off schedule.  According to published reports (citing unnamed Secret Service and FBI personnel...which is why I'm not linking it), Clinton's motorcade arrived very late which meant that Lynch's plane could not be received since the procedure is to clear space for one motorcade before advancing the next.  In other words, Clinton's delay (intended?) literally trapped Lynch in her plane. He then walked onto her plane.  "Surprise, it's me"!

Your eyes may be glossing over, but mine lit up because it all fits perfectly into my theory: Clinton corners women and has his way with them. this was no different.  Bill wanted to cast doubt on the integrity of the investigation.  Why?  I think he's fairly certain that Hillary has done a good enough job parsing her words not to get trapped by questions and avoiding lying to the FBI, which is a death knell.  But fairly is just not good enough.  So, as a bit of insurance, create the impression of impropriety that way if all else fails, the process will look tainted and there will be calls for a special prosecutor who will need time to prepare...probably a couple months at least.  By then the convention will be over and they will have bought more time to hatch more schemes.

Of course, Lynch isn't exactly a political neophyte.  Unlike many of Clinton's other alleged victims, she was able to fight back. And did so by quickly agreeing to go along with whatever decision the FBI made regarding the investigation in Hillary's email. Touche!

It's just my theory, but think about it....what's his nickname?  Not Bubba, the other one.  I'll give you a hint:  Two words.  First word sounds like trick....
