text: Your correct attack on a weak spot in my analogy--a judges can always recuse themselves--misses the point that it is an analogy. If you grasp that "were it true" that a judge could step aside in my hypothetical, then you grasp the nature of the inappropriate nature of the Bill and Loretta meeting. 
  
  Again the fact Lynch was not a judge is not fortunate, but most unfortunate. Were she a judge, as you correctly point out, she could have recused herself. As it was, he response to the ensuing scandal was the next best thing to a recusal--she deferred he obligation to decide to an underlying, declaring in advance that she would not overrule the FBI position. I think that was noble, and the very best she could do in a bad situation. 
  
  BTW, may I suggest that Lynches "recusal" is a pretty strong case that Ms. Lynch agrees with me rather than your efforts to defend you improper actions. 
  
  Again, I support Hillary, and am inclined to accept the content of the conversation was not inappropriate.
