Incredibly stupid, Bill is getting senile in front of our very eyes, and how Hillary didn't squash this is beyond me.

[h=1]AG Loretta Lynch faces storm of criticism over Bill Clinton meeting[/h] Last Updated Jun 30, 2016 10:29 PM EDT
Attorney General Loretta Lynch is facing a storm of criticism for her meeting--however impromptu--with former President Bill Clinton, and it remains to be seen whether the onslaught will have any impact on her role as the final arbiter in the FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton, and whether she or her staff mishandled classified information through the use of a private email server while she was Secretary of State.
The watchdog Judicial Watch has called on the Justice Department inspector general to investigate the meeting between Lynch and Clinton because it "creates the appearance of a violation of law, ethical standards and good judgment," according to a release.

Judicial Watch also charged that the meeting "creates the broad public impression that "'the fix is in.'"
The watchdog has also sued the State Department for the release of records on Clinton top aide Huma Abedin's employment at State, the Clinton Foundation and a consultancy. It has been deposing some of Clinton's top staffers from her tenure as secretary of state, including Abedin this week.
GOP presumptive nominee Donald Trump called the meeting between Lynch and Bill Clinton "one of the big stories of this week, of this month, of this year." He said on the "Mike Gallagher Show" that it was "terrible and nobody can understand why nothing's happened. And you see a thing like this and even in terms of judgment, how bad of judgment is it for him or for her to do this?" Later, in an interview with Sean Hannity that will air on Fox News Channel Thursday, Trump said he was "flabbergasted" by the meeting.
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said in a statement that the incident "does nothing to instill confidence in the American people that her department can fully and fairly conduct this investigation," and he called on her to appoint a special counsel "in light of the apparent conflicts of interest."
And Democrats, too, are concerned about the way the meeting appears. Former top Obama adviser David Axelrod tweeted that it was "foolish to create such optics."
