Last Tuesday, Clinton met for half an hour on Lynch’s government air plane in Phoenix.
Why did Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch meet on her airplane in Phoenix this week?
I take @LorettaLynch & @billclinton at their word that their convo in Phoenix didn't touch on probe. But foolish to create such optics.

"I don't think it sends the right signal. I think she should have steered clear even of a brief, casual, social meeting with the former president," Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) said on CNN's "New Day" on Thursday morning, saying Lynch has "generally shown excellent judgment" in her position.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), the Senate majority whip, also noted the potential conflict of interest, tweeting that Lynch "must avoid even the appearance of conflict."

All kidding aside, this has the potential to be very serious. I believe that the GOP has a very good case to be stated that the Justice Dept cannot be impartial in this matter, and that Congress should be appointing a special prosecutor to handle the Clinton case. Both the GOP and Trump should be hammering this point nonstop in the media.
The meeting was a chance encounter as the two crossed paths at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, according to Lynch. “As I was landing, he was headed out,” Lynch said at a press conference Wednesday. “He did come over and say hello and speak to my husband and myself.”

So the husband of a potential POTUS under federal investigation meets with the head of the DEPARTMENT of Justice, and only talked about grand kids and golf!
WHO is dumb enough to believe that ?
An unannounced meeting held between Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch on an airplane earlier this week is being called “foolish” and tone-deaf by several Democrats.
The private meeting between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton has created a political firestorm, fueling criticism of the Justice Department’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

I didn't think Loretta Lynch had kids, nor grandkids. She may have been talking about her step daughter by Stephen Hargrove whom she married in 2007, 21-yr. old Kia Absalom. (Why does she have a different name from her father?)
Or, Loretta may feel like she owes Bill one. He did boost her career when he nominated her to head the office of the US Attorney for the Eastern District of NY, which includes Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and some of Long Island.
Or, they could have been talking in code. Maybe "kids" and "grandkids" are code for something else. Like..."when does little Kia graduate" could be code for "how close to an indictment are we?"
