About that Lynch-Clinton Tarmac Meeting – Have You Seen These 29 Documents Previously Withheld By The DOJ?

Written by:

Published on: December 5, 2017

Many are still very suspicious about the infamous tarmac meeting prior to the 2016 elections involving former President Bill Clinton and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch.  However, at the end of November, government watchdog Judicial Watch released 29 pages of FBI Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting documents that were previously withheld by the Justice Department.

The FBI originally informed Judicial Watch they did not locate any records related to the tarmac meeting.  However, in a related case, the Justice Department located emails in which Justice Department officials communicated with the FBI and wrote that they had communicated with the FBI, Judicial Watch found.  As a result, by letter dated August 10, 2017, from the FBI stated, “Upon further review, we subsequently determined potentially responsive documents may exist. As a result, your [FOIA] request has been reopened.”

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

According to the documents obtained by Judicial Watch via a Freedom of Information Act request, the FBI seemed to be more concerned about leaks than the actual meeting.

Judicial Watch reports:

The new FBI documents show FBI officials were concerned about a leak that Bill Clinton delayed his aircraft taking off in order to “maneuver” a meeting with the attorney general.  The resulting story in the Observer is seemingly confirmed and causes a flurry of emails about the source of the article.  FBI official(s) write “we need to find that guy” and that the Phoenix FBI office was contacted “in an attempt to stem any further damage.”  Another FBI official, working on AG Lynch’s security detail, suggests instituting non-disclosure agreements.  The names of the emails authors are redacted. There are no documents showing concern about the meeting itself. 

The FBI originally informed Judicial Watch they could not locate any records related to the tarmac meeting.  However, in a related FOIA lawsuit, the Justice Department located emails in which Justice Department officials communicated with the FBI and wrote that they had communicated with the FBI.  As a result, by letter dated August 10, 2017, from the FBI stated, “Upon further review, we subsequently determined potentially responsive documents may exist. As a result, your [FOIA] request has been reopened…” 

On June 27, 2016, Attorney General Loretta Lynch met with former President Bill Clinton on board a parked plane at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix, Arizona.  The meeting occurred during the then-ongoing investigation of Mrs. Clinton’s email server, and only a few days before she was interviewed the Justice Department and FBI.  (Judicial Watch filed a request on June 30 that the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General investigate that meeting.) 

“These new FBI documents show the FBI was more concerned about a whistleblower who told the truth about the infamous Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting than the scandalous meeting itself,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

“The documents show the FBI worked to make sure no more details of the meeting would be revealed to the American people,” he added.

“No wonder the FBI didn’t turn these documents over until Judicial Watch caught the agency red-handed hiding them,” he continued.  “These new documents confirm the urgent need to reopen the Clinton email scandal and criminally investigate the resulting Obama FBI/DOJ sham investigation.” 

The meeting occurred just before former FBI Director James Comey held the July 5, 2016, press conference in which he announced that no charges would be filed against Hillary Clinton, even though she clearly violated federal law with her private email server.

Where is the outcry over this clear coverup of the meeting?  Oh, that’s right, we’re still looking for evidence of a Trump administration/Russia collusion instead of investigating the real Russian colluder who committed a crime against the people of the united States.
