One of Hillary Clinton’s biggest fans, Andrea Mitchell, was on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday to talk, among other things, about Clinton’s week. It seemed as though she couldn’t help but moan about the optics surrounding Bill Clinton’s secret meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Sounding distraught she whined that even if Clinton was exonerated, “There will be suspicions that it was politically influenced. This was absolutely a disastrous decision on their part.”
Mitchell claimed the meeting was an “unforced error” by the Clinton campaign. She continued the liberal media narrative that Bill meet with Lynch because he is a social guy. She explained it away as Bill Clinton being the “schmoozer-in-chief.” The reporter was upset that neither one of them thought to bring the meeting “any place in public” for people to see.
But Mitchell’s spirit did pick up when she imagined different optics of a Clinton on an airplane. But this time it was Hillary Clinton exiting Air Force One with President Barack Obama:
I was told that there was a plan, a possible plan for her to fly in on Tuesday with this first Obama meeting to North Carolina on Air Force One! The full embrace! The Picture! … Coming out— You see the door of the plane opens, there are the two of them arm-in-arm!
“Not now,” said moderator Chuck Todd dashing her dreams. But Mitchell still held out hope, “Well, maybe they’ll still do it. But it make is it really hard for the president while this is pending from his Justice Department.”
