Revealed: How Bill Clinton plotted to 'bushwhack' attorney general on airport tarmac and got a promise that Hillary wouldn't be prosecuted over classified emails

Hillary Clinton was never in any danger of prosecution for mishandling classified documents on her infamous homebrew email server, according to a book set to rock the election season.
The fix was in, thanks to Bill Clinton's plan to ambush Attorney General Loretta Lynch when their private jets were at the Phoenix airport at the same time.
The former president told his pilot to abort a takeoff, according to Ed Klein in his latest book, 'Guilty as Sin,' when a Secret Service agent told him Lynch was about to land.
'Don't take off!' Bill shouted.
The meeting, which began minutes later and lasted a half-hour, took place just one week before FBI director James Comey announced publicly that the Democratic presidential nominee was in the clear.

Bushwhack: Bill Clinton's extraordinary plot to personally lobby the attorney-general, Loretta Lynch, and impress on her the power of the Clinton machine, is revealed in a new book
Revelation: A local television news station captured Loretta Lynch on the tarmac. If the footage had not been taken, the meeting - and Bill Clinton's 'bushwhack' - would never have been known
One of Clinton's most trusted legal advisers told Klein that he took a call from the former president. The New York Post published a book excerpt spelling out what happened.
'Bill said, "I want to bushwhack Loretta",' the adviser told him. '"I'm going to board her plane. What do you think?"
'And I said, "There's no downside for you, but she's going to take a pounding if she's crazy enough to let you on her plane".'
'He knew it would be a huge embarrassment to Loretta when people found out that she had talked to the husband of a woman – the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party – who was under criminal investigation by the FBI,' the adviser explained to Klein.
