I probably won’t be able to make it, but this looks like an interesting symposium later this month.

Bill And Loretta’s Meeting
Was he plea bargaining?
Probably.
[Update a few minutes later]
Bill and Loretta don’t have an “optics” problem; they have a corruption problem.
And on what legal basis did the FBI ban video or photos of the meeting? That doesn’t inspire confidence. Someone should ask Comey.
[Update a few more minutes later]
More thoughts from Austin Bay. This stinks to high heaven.
[Update a while later]
Well, no need to. Whatever the reason you did it, I’d assume that it’s mission accomplished now.
[Update a while later]
Hillary will be interviewed by the FBI this weekend. I’m sure that meeting between Loretta and Bill had absolutely nothing to do with this.
[Noon update]
Well, well, well. The plot thickens. If this story is true, Bill completely ambushed her. I can’t think she can be happy about that.
[Saturday-morning update]
Steve Hayward has some theories.
[Afternoon update]
Have you noticed that the left is much more upset by that meeting than anything her Highness is purported to have done?
It’s because they fear the cover on the political fix was blown.
Lois Lerner
New documents show she almost certainly broke the law.
But the laws are apparently only for enemies of the state.
[Update a while later]
Related: Benghazi lies were just standard procedure under Obama. Lies in general are standard procedure under Obama. And there’s never any accountability or consequence. They got him re-elected.

Also related: Hillary’s email story continues to get more and more difficult to believe. Because it’s lies all the way down.
The latest batch of emails suggest that Clinton’s filter to decide between the personal and the professional was far from foolproof. That these emails never saw the light of day before Monday — or before a conservative legal advocacy group petitioned for their release — opens up the possibility that there are plenty more like them that Clinton chose to delete but shouldn’t have. And it provides more fodder for the Republican argument that Clinton appointing herself as judge, jury and executioner for her emails was, at best, a very, very bad decision and, at worst, something more nefarious than just bad judgment.
Gee, ya think?
SCOTUS Ties
An easy fix.
The Democrats would be all in favor if the junior justice was a Republican appointee, but double standards.
Hillary’s Email Crimes
The coming constitutional crisis:
How the FBI can look at all this and not recommend prosecution of someone for something in EmailGate strains the imagination. Yet President Obama has clearly signaled that it’s all no big deal. Director James Comey has a tough job before him when he takes the FBI’s official recommendations regarding EmailGate to Attorney General Lynch for action, probably sometime this summer. Since Comey is now under a cloud over the FBI’s embarrassing mishandling of Omar Mateen, the Orlando jihadist mass murderer, perhaps his resignation over that matter would be welcome in the White House, which then could find a new director more willing to bend to Obama’s wishes.
Make no mistake, there are more than a few senior intelligence officials in Washington, DC, who are livid about Hillary Clinton’s willful disregard of clearly defined laws on the handling of classified information. Her misconduct endangered sensitive intelligence programs—and lives. Even if Comey is a sacrificial lamb here, there are high-ranking spies who are perfectly willing to leak the sordid details of EmailGate to the media if the president pulls a Dick Nixon and tries to subvert our Constitution to protect himself and his designated successor.
And in the unlikely event that nobody in our nation’s capital is willing to go public with exactly what Hillary Clinton did, it now seems the Russians may do so. It’s highly plausible that Russian intelligence services, among others, have many of Clinton’s emails, perhaps all of them, given how slipshod her security arrangements were.
If Comey does resign, the Senate shouldn’t approve anyone that Obama nominates to replace him.
The IRS Scandal
Should Koskinen be impeached?
Yes. It’s really the only effective way to rein in executive tyranny. Even if the corrupt Democrats refuse to remove, as they did with Clinton, it’s still a useful method of discipline that is used far too seldom. And Gina McCarthy should get the treatment as well.
Trump Bashes Hillary
And Ben Shapiro applauds.
The only good thing about Trump as a candidate is that he’s not afraid to go after the media’s pet incompetent criminal.
Homer Hickam’s Lawsuit
He told me about this when I had lunch with him a few weeks ago when he was in LA, partly to deal with it.
Hillary’s Email Setup
Only twelve?
But her supporters won’t care; she’s a Democrat. Moreover, she’s a Clinton.
I love this: “How many people who are paying a company to host their data ask the company to stop backing it up? This is where the story gets good.”
[Update later afternoon]
At this point, what difference does it make?
Without the avalanche of distraction, hypocrisy, willful ignorance, and outright lies that the liberal elite and their human centipede press corps employed over the last few decades to ensure their corrupt, mouth-breathing, and/or perverted Democrat heroes are never held accountable, Trump would not be possible. We might still care about quaint things like character, competence, and not being a loathsome piece of human refuse.
But we don’t. Not anymore.
Hillary’s formulation of “Nothing matters, no one cares” is just a little different. For her, it’s “What difference, at this point, does it make?” You know, that comment she made when some congressmen – not including any Democrats – tried to hold her to account for getting four Americans killed and lying to not only their families’ faces but to our faces about it.
And the people who aren’t in Hillary’s trick bag are supposed to care that Trump’s a jerk?
They don’t, by and large. Sure, Trump makes what we conservatives all agree is a distasteful comment insinuating that a federal judge’s rulings would be governed by an inherited characteristic, in this case his ethnicity. The mainstream media goes nuts at how horrible Trump is for assuming that an inherited characteristic might govern someone’s actions in public office. Then a day later, the media experiences a collective climax over the fact that a woman has been nominated, and they think it’s great because that inherited characteristic will govern her actions in public office.
Read the whole thing.
Another Lie Falls
Hillary sent emails “marked classified” from her server.
It doesn’t really matter, legally, whether or not they were marked, but her latest lie has been exposed.
