MSNBC’s Morning Joe panel ripped Attorney General Loretta Lynch for privately meeting with Bill Clinton this week, despite his wife being under federal investigation for her private email server as secretary of state.

“You can’t make this up,” host Joe Scarborough said as the panel discussed the news.

Lynch claimed the discussion, which took place aboard her government plane between her and the former president on Monday, only concerned social matters like grandchildren.

Co-host Mika Brzezinski asked what Clinton could have possibly needed to know that required a private conversation on a plane.

“There is no way you let him come on your plane and talk privately,” Scarborough said. “There’s no way.”

“It’s her decision,” said panelist Mark Halperin. “I mean, she shouldn’t have let him on the plane. He shouldn’t have wanted to get on the plane. I understand they’re friends. They have a lot to talk about.”

“No. There’s nothing else to talk about but the one thing,” Brzezinski said.

The panel mocked the idea that Clinton also wanted to talk about “community policing,” rather than the specter of the investigation that’s loomed over his wife’s campaign since she launched last April.

Co-host Willie Geist said the talk shouldn’t have happened.

“Do you really think they were talking about community policing?” Brzezinski asked, laughing.

“No, I don’t,” Geist said.

Brzezinski dismissed the notion that Lynch should have been advised better, saying it should have been obvious to her.

“I bet you they didn’t talk about it,” Halperin said.

“Come on, stop! Everybody stop,” Brzezinski said. “OK. Well, this is why this is never going to be a problem for Hillary Clinton. People are too afraid to talk about the truth and the fact that this was wrong from the get-go.”

Lynch has insisted there is no conflict of interest in the Department of Justice’s investigation of Clinton, who President Obama has endorsed for president.

She needs to recuse herself and appoint a special prosecutor who is charged with reaching a prompt conclusion. Finishing after the election is meaningless. She won't be indicted if she loses, and can't be indicted if she's president.

I think this would actually all play out better aft er she loses the election - you cant be pardoned for something you were never charged with. Waiting prevents Obama from giving her a presidential pardon.

Sen. Chris Coons (D., Del.) said Thursday that the private meeting between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton sent “the wrong signal” given the ongoing criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton and her use of a private email server.

Coons said on CNN’s New Day that he trusted Lynch, who has said her huddle with Clinton on her plane in Phoenix, Arizona, was in fact about “community policing.” However, Coons agreed with host Alisyn Camerota’s skepticism.

“I do agree with you that it doesn’t send the right signal,” Coons said. “I am impressed with Attorney General Loretta Lynch … I’m convinced that she is an independent attorney general. But I do think that this meeting sends the wrong signal, and I don’t think it sends the right signal. I think she should have steered clear, even of a brief, casual, social meeting with the former president.”

“She should have said no, thank you, I’m not available to meet right now,’” Camerota s aid.

“I think she should have said, look, I recognize you have a long record of leadership on fighting crime, but this is not the time for us to have that conversation,” Coons said.

Lynch has been criticized by both sides of the aisle for the appearance of impropriety in the meeting, given her stature as the nation’s top law enforcement official. She has insisted there is no conflict of interest in the Department of Justice’s investigation into Clinton, in spite of President Obama’s endorsement of her for president.
