Way back in the year 2016 it was considered so obviously inappropriate for an attorney general to be directly involved with a politically sensitive case that the mere fact that Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch had a conversation was considered scandalous.
They said that it was just a casual conversation, but critics felt that was fishy and the subject of the FBI investigation into the email server would likely have come up which in turn raised the prospect that Lynch had been asked to involve herself.
So even though there was no evidence that she had, in fact, involved herself in the politically sensitive investigation the fact that she clearly did speak to a person with an interest in it raised the POSSIBILITY that she could have and it was seen as a big problem.
