I still think she made that deal with Bill Clinton in the infamous airport meeting. Make the case against Hillary go away, and you have Scalia's seat.

I thought that was all about her staying on as Hillarys AG.

I've heard that before. I'm unaware of any evidence for that. I thought it was probably untrue, since she was already the AG. Why would she take the risk of violating the law in squashing an investigation into Hillary for a job she already had?

They never think about getting caught. She wanted to keep her job and was worried Hillary would make a change? Everyone thought Hilldog was going to win. She may have been lining up her ducks in a row? No matter her motive, remain AG or possible SCOTUS seat, its still wrong

She would stay on as AG but pick up RBG's seat when she retires. Scalia's seat was to go to that Garret(?) guy Obama floated. From what I understand

Merrick Garland and I agree - Hilldog would have appointed Lynch to replace RBG. RBG was probably planning her retirement when Trump won. She's been hanging on ever since.

Because Hillary was ahead in the polls by about 380 points and no one ever thought she would lose. When you know you are going to win, when you know you put your people in power to ensure all the incriminating evidence is scrubbed clean and you know no one will ever be held to account.....sure you can ask for a SCOTUS seat if you Git Er Done. In their minds, getting caught was an utter impossibility

Scalia died before this meeting, I'm thinking. Let me check.

Scalia's death: Feb 13, 2016. Tarmac meeting: June 27, 2016.

By April, the Senate GOP had put the kabosh on this nomination. If Hillary was elected, she could then immediately nominate Lynch.
