Fish @ 4:19 pm.
Nah, I don’t believe they chit chatted and exchanged pleasantries. Nope, old Bubba has been tied up on the trail. As soon as he heard Loretta say something about love was the solution, ole Wet Willy’s ears perked up, made a call, and high tailed down to Phoenix. All better and it only took a half hour. Gotta watch what you say around him.
Or, maybe he wanted to know if Loretta heard this rumor.

The only people present in the meeting on the jet both have their story all straight.
They discussed their grandchildren and Loretta asked Bill about his driver. You know – his golf game.
Whatever.
Just happened to bump into each other at the air park.
Hoo hoo! Billy? Is that you? Loretta. From DC. You remember. How’s the grandchild?

Nope, don’t add up. More than likely she has a facelift scheduled to get ready to be under all the bright lights on the national stage in Philly.

Oh Canada. Canada has an immigration oolicy that puts family reunification way down the list. The US puts it at the top. Move to Canada, but you will be leaving your Grandma behind…for good
Best to be young (age discrimination), skilled, educated, and have a bone-fided invitation to apply from a Canadian employer. Without that, you need a small wad of greenies in your savings account. 10k.
To allow for refugees, Canada has tighten the screws down on the world’s young, educated, and skilled applicants to make room for Syrian refugees. This is mostly like a “one year event”.

re JonD 217pm – For the newer readers I would point out confirmation of the oft made assertion in these pages that the liberal mind is nothing if it is not incorrigible. In that light we see Mr Dozer’s calcified cranium that is totally unimpacted by the fact that it is already illegal for civilians to possess assault weapons, and no law-abiding CA gun owner owns an assault weapon.
The current slate of ever more restrictive gun laws headed for Moonbeam’s desk is a dog whistle for progressives in referring to military style semi-auto long guns as assault weapons. No progressives with above mentioned consummately calcified crania will ever understand that such laws do nothing to prevent what they are claimed to prevent.
But, of course, that is not their intent, which in fact is only to remove the last vestiges of par force (q.v.) from the hands of law abiding American citizens, and make criminals of those who will stubbornly maintain their Second Amendment rights.

I am generally very disappointed in the manner that Fox interviews government elites and the way they conduct their roundtable circle jerks with their slates of pundits – the lamestream outlets aren’t even worth mentioning in this context. I fantasize myself being allowed to sit in for Bret Baier or the absolutely worthless Chris Wallace on their flagship Fox News programs.
This evening the Loretta/Bill meeting in Phoenix was again on the front burner reporting on the known details and highlighting videos of Lynch doing damage control on today’s morning shows. The telling part of the report has always been that Lynch’s FBI security detail were shouting ‘No pictures!’ at the Phoenix press who happened to discover the embarrassing tete a tete.
The obvious unasked question is why were FBI agents attempting to control press behavior when such behavior had no bearing on security issues in an open part of the Phoenix airport? Their concern about pictures of the event was strictly of a political nature – the bad ‘optics’ it would engender for the two bigwigs. Why were FBI security agents concerned about the optics in Phoenix when their colleagues are supposedly investigating the bejeezus out of Hillary in Washington (and getting ready to interrogate her this weekend)?? Wouldn’t such an untoward meeting be reported by the agents to their head shed, and did they really report it? And is it not strange that the FBI appeared to have anticipated the claimed “chance meeting” between Sweet Willie and Loretta to shoot the shit about grandchildren and golf?? And what is Comey’s take on his agents in Phoenix suddenly worried about someone capturing a Kodak Moment of two people serendipitously bumping into each other far from home. Now I could go on but you get the idea, and all of this was completely missed by the crack journalistic team and their assembled pundits at Fox.
Well maybe Mr fish (502pm), but you have a valid point. And Mr Tozer (518pm), I’m certainly no expert on ‘Frisco Values’, but I am on record anticipating CA going splat and having its governor and legislature replaced by a pile of nicely arranged 2x4s in Sacramento with faces painted on them. If what is happening in Nuevo Yerba Buena hurries this happy event along, then most certainly Frisco values will have done their part.

This whole chance meeting of two ships passing in the night is not what it appears to be. Why was the Phoenix Channel 5 news van even there? Cause they received a tip. Yep, a tip came in. Period. So, the video cameras were not there by happenstance. Staged.
What, it was 108 or a million degrees out there and Bubba just happened to be golfing in the blazing heat frying his brains out at his age? And he is in poor health too boot.
Some say it was a ploy (Conspicacy Theory) the Dems hatched hoping the fallout would result in a chorus of everybody screaming for a Special Prosecutor. Great idea. Let’s start all over a square one and let the “independent inquiry” take a few years.
I have my own thoughts on this. Who is to gain? I sort of liked AG Lynch’s candor today. Quite the disarming person.. A little humor and personality goes a long way. But, what the press missed in all her candor was when asked why she even talked to Bubba in the first place, the question remained neatly avoided and unanswered.
I hope this chance meeting gets swept under the carpet. I truly do. It works in my favor looking post election. I always felt (and desire now more than ever) that the we (the Trump rabid loyalists) win straight up, not by Hillary’s indictment of violations of the Espinoge Act nor the Chelsea, Bill, and Hillary Foundation Public Corruption convictions (the no-brainer one). Even the WH says both arecriminal investigations. We don’t need any of that noise to to claim victory in Nov, or people saying that’s why we won. Most importantly, Lynch retained THE AUTHORITY to overrule the FBI’s recommendations. Today was a waste. Nothing changed this week. Nothing.
The whole danger I see here is a Shotgun Joe stepping in now. The Dem Establish would be ever so comfortable with that and receive the gift of heaven of a clean slate to work with. The Dems are scared out of their ever lov’ minds.
I want her weakened, not destroyed. An upright Hillary is the best path to victory.

Dr. Rebane; So, you think it’s all coming down before the convention? The moving pieces are converging. The “two ships passing in the night” out in the desert, Huma went in, Hillary comes in Sat…opps, it will be at her home Saturday..State asking for 27 month delay in releasing the Foundation/State communiques, ..Bernie backing away from Biden characterizing Sen. Sanders as “going to vote” for My Gal, ….hmmm…the Establishment looks like they really need a reset button.
But, I don’t believe it. Too neatly packaged and delivered. Where is the uge imitation of the House of Commons? Something is missing like it’s the drama of watching a live event…too lifeless. Something ain’t right. Never underestimate the Clintons.
I had this exact gut feeling about Omar and the gay trio. I never bothered to check it out much. Even posted some stuff, but never grabbed me. Any moron knew the why. So, I tuned that out, mostly. Finally watched a clip on Univision interview with one of the Muscateirs. Took 40 seconds to say it’s too packaged, something is missing. Like, where is the hurt, passion, the emotion, even a true interest in the story by the storyteller and interviewer. Guy hasn’t seen Omar in 7 months and appeared well groomed and camera ready. Hmmm.

Just pray that the investigation continues for a few more months. As Hillary often answers a question in a town hall setting, “ILike I already said….blah, blah….”as proof of her well documented history of her support for every issue under the sun.
That’s the problem as well as the delicious room service. She has said a lot of things. She, like Trump, are perfectly capable of putting their foot in their mouths and pulling the trigger. One drops an “offensive derogatory” divisive comment based in being a straight shooter on the learning curb (with warts and all), while the other’s mishaps are all based in the ole love of power and money. Hillary can blow it all by herselfl. Greed is a common failing almong us humans. All ego based. Thus, the first reflex is to lie. Protect the ego. But the target is to be anointed Queen of NAFTA. The new and improved EU already has pulled out “the plan” to rule the world out of their back pockets. A good Boy Scout is prepared, but I digressed too much.
Dr. Rebane is right. No way to make her look good now. I just want Trump to destroy her, not the g-men. I have always called dibs on the last dance, Fish, so there!
