Watch Bill Maher Laugh Off Liberal Panel Who Tried to Defend Lynch-Clinton Meeting

During a heated debate on HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher," a liberal panel tried their best to defend Attorney General Loretta Lynch and her unscheduled meeting with Bill Clinton.  

MSNBC’s Ari Melber told the “Real Time” host that the 30-minute meeting “isn’t a real scandal,” adding that the conversation between Lynch and Bill Clinton was “dumb.”

Show host Bill Maher gave his advice on what Lynch should have done.  

“How about saying, ‘I’m the attorney general. I’m looking into your wife. I’m about to indict her, or not. Get off my plane,’ like Harrison Ford,” Maher said.

“And to spend 30 minutes — that’s a long time to be talking about your grandchildren,” he continued. “And now, by the way, (Bill Clinton) screwed Hillary… because now, when it comes to (Lynch's) desk, now, she’s under a microscope like she never would have been before.”
