An explosive fact tucked away in a federal investigator’s report just exposed a huge scandal – and could it have former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sharing a jail cell.
Just days before Hillary’s interview with FBI agents over her homebrew e-mail server, Bill held a top-secret meeting with former President Barack Obama’s Attorney General Loretta Lynch – and it looks like he lied to investigators about it.
The pair always claimed their half-hour meeting on June 27, 2016, was unplanned and that they never discussed the investigation, which Lynch oversaw.
Bill even told federal investigators that the whole thing happened on the spur-of-the-moment when he realized that both their planes happened to be parked on the tarmac of Phoenix’s Sky Harbor International Airport.
He said he just wanted to be courteous, because he didn’t want to snub Lynch. He wanted the public to believe that the whole thing was just good manners and Southern hospitality!
But a little-read section of Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s 500-plus page report rips their whole alibi to shreds.
“Former President Clinton’s Secret Service detail had contacted Lynch’s FBI security detail and let them know that the former President wanted to meet with Lynch” before they ever landed in Arizona, according to page 203 of Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report.
So much for the meeting being “a casual, unscheduled meeting,” – the way a spokeswoman for the Obama administration’s Justice Department, Melanie Newman, described it.
In other words, Bill asked for a meeting with the head of the Obama administration’s “Justice” Department at the height of its investigation into his wife – and the Obama administration agreed.
But the Horowitz report tears the lid off the Democrats’ rampant corruption of the federal government for political advantage in many other ways.
At a minimum, that would seem to prove that Bill lied to federal investigators about how the meeting came to happen. If so, that’s a federal felony that carries a five-year jail sentence.
And there are other reasons to believe “Slick Willy” lied through his teeth again. The OIG report and independent media investigations show that Clinton and Lynch might just be cracking under pressure because they’re having a hard time keeping their stories straight.
They both insisted they didn’t discuss the DOJ investigation. Instead, Lynch told federal investigators that they talked about golf, Brexit, and West Virginia coalminers.
But Horowitz’s report shows the two had a hard time staying on the same page.
Clinton told investigators “he did not recall Brexit coming up, but acknowledged that he probably did discuss it.” He “also said that he did not recall mentioning West Virginia coal policy to Lynch.”
And Christopher Sign, the local ABC-affiliate reporter who broke the story, has said, “Two years later and I have not found a person who can confirm that Bill played golf during that trip to Phoenix.”
Keeping lies straight must get confusing after awhile.
That’s why the pair did everything they could to make sure no one ever knew the meeting ever took place.
Horowitz’s 500-plus page report shows that the DOJ tried to sweep the meeting under the rug, destroy evidence, and destroy the police officer who tipped off the media.
First, photographers were forbidden from taking pictures of the Clinton-Lynch meeting. Page 209 of Horowitz’s report says:
The OPA Supervisor said that there was a photographer outside, and he recalled telling the photographer that Lynch would not be taking pictures. The OPA Supervisor said that he remembered telling the photographer that he (the photographer) needed to go back in his car.
Then, after a local ABC affiliate broke the story, FBI agents threatened to find out which police officer leaked the meeting and ruin his career.
Internal e-mails show that Obama officials obsessed with finding the person who let the cat out of the bag.
“We need to find that guy and bring him or her before a supervisor,” one agent e-mailed. Another FBI employee said the federal government had to “make sure he never works on any (presidential security) detail” again.
That’s not the behavior of innocent people. The Horowitz report proves that Bill lied to investigators about meeting with the Obama administration days before Hillary testified about her lawbreaking, and it suggests that Lynch lied about what they talked about.
It’s time to prosecute both of them, Crooked Hillary, and every corrupt official still infesting the Justice Department to the full extent of the law.
