(2,902 posts)there's an investigation. And no, a comment about what the I in FBI stands for doesn't count.

(18,115 posts)The FBI has interviewed witnesses, including Pagliano under immunity grant and Cheryl Mills.
The FBI has taken custody of Hillary's server and other State computers.
A federal judge has recognized Pagliano's immunity as granted during a criminal investigation.

(7,888 posts)While I plan a trip to cooler climes, the politicians arrive. Why Arizona? Would be nice to be a "fly on the wall" of a private jet.
According to AG Lynch, the talk was limited to family and friends. Now, that covers a lot of territory.

(7,321 posts)I know it seems like ages ago, you may not have been involved here, but to a person we were all in unanimity as to the underpinning issues at play and what was at stake.
It wasn't just about winners and losers. It was so much more than that, it was about certain principles we agreed were imperative to uphold. Yes, that's the level we engaged in right here.
The only people that did not recognize what was at the heart of the matter, were members of the site known as Free Republic and we called them freepers, brown shirts, jackboot authoritarians. They were completely blinded by the notion that Bush/Cheney regime did absolutely no wrong, never lied us to war, conflict of interest with contracts to Halliburton was a nothing burger, Black Water? another nothing burger. The list is endless, but I think I made the point.
Would hardly believe it now.

(7,321 posts)A difference of significant distinction between making false assertions and speculative theory.
It's more than merely bad optics on their part. The appearance of a conflict of interest figures substantially, and in the context of this particular investigation, a modicum of common sense should expect speculative theories a natural and obvious result.
But hey, go have your fun.. it's your dime.

(135,425 posts)Good grief--he was waiting for a plane, and she was transiting--so she went over (with her HUSBAND) to say "Hi."
I guess all that super-duper Fitzmas talk was actually about grandchildren!
The harder they try, the more ridiculous they look....and those two idiot "reporters" lead the pack!
What's really "shocking?" That those two nitwit television personalities still have jobs!

(5,636 posts)It's just so desperate to spin things in the most sensational way. It's actually kind of pathetic. People come across adversaries and others in the legal system all the time. Probably every day people on opposite sides or who have a conflict of interest run into each other and exchange pleasantries. What else are they supposed to do? It would be shocking if it was a secret meeting, but otherwise it's just coincidence and courtesy. CBS has been crap since getting rid of Dan Rather, and that video comes off as amateurish, with two shallow intellects trying to create a "shocking" story.
This must mean Loretta Lynch is being vetted for VP!
