That said, if I was Sen. Clinton, I would be outraged at Bill.

What a cock up.

Did Bill Clinton use bad judgement? [View all] kentuck Jul 2016 OP

Bill Clinton knew exactly what he was doing. joshcryer Jul 2016 #1

Bill didn't need to barge in on the AG for that to happen. morningfog Jul 2016 #4

Yes he did Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #2

The AG did nothing wrong. She had no idea until she saw him step on. morningfog Jul 2016 #3

Maybe not but she should have Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #9

Who knows what happened. She may have tried, she may have cut off hi morningfog Jul 2016 #11

Even she did not say that Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #15

No, if you read her statement understanding she is a career attorney, morningfog Jul 2016 #20

She did say they discussed other things Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #22

Wonder what course he played? B2G Jul 2016 #36

He didn't have any campaign events on the calendar for that day. morningfog Jul 2016 #37

He attended “Latino Leaders Roundtable" on Monday B2G Jul 2016 #50

It was a 30 minute private meeting. You think she tried to kick him off the plane? JudyM Jul 2016 #75

I find it insulting to my intelligence that either Clinton or Lynch would come up with such a stupid monmouth4 Jul 2016 #5

I know. What an awkward place for such a ho-hum social visit. At taxpayer expense. n/t yodermon Jul 2016 #7

No, what an awkard place to discuss the Emails investigation. There are plenty of easier places and OnDoutside Jul 2016 #14

And you know emails were discussed how? DonViejo Jul 2016 #29

RTFP ! I'm saying IF they were going to talk about the email case, there are a lot of easier places OnDoutside Jul 2016 #93

Ah okay; thanks for the clarification and apologies DonViejo Jul 2016 #98

No problem. OnDoutside Jul 2016 #102

Wow. Jumping the gun there, OnDoutside? You're assuming way too much. BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #59

Seriously? It was 30 minutes. Lynch is the only person who could hand his wife the JudyM Jul 2016 #77

That poster believes the server/e-mail witch hunt was discussed. Ergo, he believes the Republican BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #80

So you actually think it is more likely that nothing was mentioned about the FBI cases? JudyM Jul 2016 #82

I actually believe that, yes, until evidence surfaces to prove otherwise. I guess I subscribe to the BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #84

It is about Hillary at some level but the ethical lapse was Bill's fault and Lynch's responsibility JudyM Jul 2016 #87

This is ALL about Hillary, and no matter how you choose to twist it, fact remains that *she* will BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #96

No, actually the point is that there should not be a double standard, and that is exactly what JudyM Jul 2016 #99

In fairness, Hillary Clinton's integrity is not in question over this incident. Yo_Mama Jul 2016 #86

Oh. but it is. The implication is there since this is about her emails/server. So to say this won't BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #88

Yes, but this incident is about a highly improper meeting - NOT any misconduct. Yo_Mama Jul 2016 #91

We both know that, Yo_Mama, but we also both know the penchant of her enemies to create non-scandals BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #92

RTFP ! I'm saying IF they were going to talk about the email case, there are a lot of easier places OnDoutside Jul 2016 #95

Perhaps you need to reread your own post. You said nothing about "going to talk about". You clearly BlueCaliDem Jul 2016 #97

No, it's your inference. I was replying to yodermon who said OnDoutside Jul 2016 #104

And suppose, perhaps, she has been, appropriately, avoiding his calls? JudyM Jul 2016 #78

Indeed so Duckhunter935 Jul 2016 #10
