After Loretta Lynch met with former President Bill Clinton for about thirty minutes while his wife Hillary is being investigated by the FBI, the US Department of Justice Attorney General is now laughing the matter off.
When asked about the incident at the Aspen Ideas Festival, Lynch seemed to just shrug at the unethical meeting and said she simply wouldn’t do it again.

But not many on social media agreed with Lynch. For the most part, no one thought it was a laughing matter.Â

@CNNPolitics Secret meeting. No photos allowed. @FBI agents ordered to be silent. @LorettaLynch pretends now it was simply a poor choice.

@CNNPolitics Sure, they were just exchanging cornbread recipes. Worst part? They don’t even try to cover it up anymore. #tarmacgate

In the next breath, though, Lynch dropped a bombshell, saying that she would “accept” the FBI’s recommendations on whether or not to indict Hillary Clinton in the email scandal.Â

Lynch, however, may have already squashed her reputation, as Twitter users didn’t seem to be buying her claim. Â
@CNNPolitics
“fully expect”? Means nothing. That’s nonbinding.Did she remove subsequent motion doj filed to quash Clinton Foundtn emails?
