Ken Starr: It Was Almost an ‘Ambush’ by Bill Clinton of Loretta Lynch Which He Should Never Have Done

EXCERPT:

HEMMER: "What do you think they will learn from Loretta Lynch?"
STARR: "She'll probably stay with the story we've heard thus far, which is this was really — talking about taking advantage — this was Bill Clinton taking advantage of Loretta Lynch. It was almost, in a figurative sense, an ambush."
HEMMER: "Boarding the plane in Arizona and talking to her?"
STARR: "Exactly. The former president should never have done that. And I was very pleased when these reports came out to see that one of the senior staffers for the attorney general tried to break it up because that person knew this is utterly inappropriate. Now, they say, 'We were talking about grandchildren and everything under the sun,' but the appearance of that, especially since it was an unplanned, unscheduled meeting, and for Bill Clinton to thrust himself on the attorney general and put her in a very awkward position, so I’m very — I was chief of staff to the attorney general to the Reagan Administration, so I'm very sympathetic, though, to the attorney general's position. And so if she stays with her story, then it will prove to be essentially inconsequential, but the appearance is absolutely harmful."
