Business As Usual

Loretta Lynch Meets with Slick Willie

Acknowledging that their meeting was the “question of the day”

Lynch said, “… because people have wondered and raised questions about my role in the ultimate resolution of matters involving the investigation into the State Department e-mails...

"...And to the extent that people have questions about that, about my role in that, certainly my meeting with him raises questions and concerns, and so believe me, I completely get that question, and I think it is the question of the day,”

In places outside the fantasy-world of Washington, D.C., I am willing to wager that a chief prosecutor in any jurisdiction meeting privately with the spouse of a person under active law enforcement and grand jury investigation, in a private plane, would be reason for censure.

In most places where Real Things Happen, it might even result in that person being fired or prosecuted, or at least disbarred.

In Washington democratic circles, however, it is business as usual.
