Don't Get in the Way of the Clinton Coronation

Loretta Lynch, the US attorney general, acknowledged on Friday that her meeting with Bill Clinton this week had “cast a shadow” over the justice department’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

Speaking at the Aspen ideas festival in Colorado, Lynch said: “I certainly wouldn’t do it again because I think it has cast this shadow over what it should not, over what it will not, touch.

“It’s important to make it clear that that meeting with President Clinton does not have a bearing on how this matter will be reviewed and resolved.”

She wasn't forward-thinking enough to realize that a meeting with Bill might look suspicious?  Just the fact that she was willing (eager?) to sit with him at this point indicates she's already inclined to favor Hillary in any decision.
“The most important thing for me as attorney general is the integrity of this Department of Justice,” she said.
So....what? You were too obsequious or star struck to turn down at chance to sit with Bill?  Even at the risk of the integrity of the department?
Lynch also said she did not know when the investigation was expected to conclude.
At some point where it will do Hillary the least harm or the most good.

 ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
