While he still makes references to the deep state and โ€œshadow governmentsโ€ and malign influence of the Rockefeller family, heโ€™s also quick to reference obscure FBI brass like Peter Strzok and Bill Priestap, paraphrase counterintelligence reports, or cite โ€œMidyear Exam,โ€ the Department of Justice probe into Clintonโ€™s email practices.

US Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Bill Clinton meet privately in Phoenix before Benghazi report

2016

 

Amid an ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of email and hours before the public release of the Benghazi report, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately with former President Bill Clinton.

The private meeting took place on the west side of Sky Harbor International Airport on board a parked private plane.

Former President Clinton was visiting the Phoenix area and arrived to Sky Harbor Monday evening to depart.

Sources tell ABC15 Clinton was notified Lynch would be arriving at the airport soon and waited for her arrival.

Lynch was arriving in Phoenix for a planned visit as part of her national tour to promote community policing.

ABC15 asked Lynch about the meeting during her news conference at the Phoenix Police Department.

"I did see President Clinton at the Phoenix airport as he was leaving and spoke to myself and my husband on the plane," said Lynch.

The private meeting comes as Lynch's office is in charge of the ongoing investigation and potential charges involving Clinton's email server.

The private meeting also occurred hours before the Benghazi report was released publicly involving Hillary Clinton and President Obama's administration.

Lynch said the private meeting on the tarmac did not involve these topics.

"Our conversation was a great deal about grandchildren, it was primarily social about our travels and he mentioned golf he played in Phoenix," said Lynch Tuesday afternoon while speaking at the Phoenix Police Department.

Sources say the private meeting at the airport lasted around 30 minutes.

"There was no discussion on any matter pending before the Department or any matter pending with any other body, there was no discussion of Benghazi, no discussion of State Department emails, by way of example I would say it was current news of the day, the Brexit decision and what it would mean," she said.

Sources tell ABC15 former President Clinton did not play golf during his most recent visit in Phoenix.

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch told reporters the two discussed him playing golf in Phoenix, but itโ€™s not clear if the golf reference was aimed at the most recent visit or a previous stop in Phoenix.

Also, ABC15 has confirmed former President Clinton arrived in Phoenix Monday and was hosted by prominent real-estate developer Jim Pederson.

Pederson is the former chairman of the Arizona Democratic Party and once ran for U.S. Senate against Jon Kyl.

ABC15 has been told Clinton was in the Valley for an intimate meeting with a small group of community leaders.

Most speakers at the committee meeting support the bill. Their sentiment is clear: my children, my business.

Then Bixler's name is called, and she approaches the podium.

"My name is Paul Bixler," she begins. "I am a citizen of Arizona."

Bixler tells the committee she sits on the board of the Liberty Elementary School District, which covers eight schools on the outskirts of metropolitan Phoenix. But, she says, she isn't there to speak for the board.

She is there just as herself, a 72-year-old transgender woman.

"I know from personal experience that transitioning is not easy," she says. "It's hard."

She argues the proposed law would harm, not help, vulnerable children.

"When you threaten a child's disclosure with exposure, those children will continue to question, but will not seek the highly qualified individuals that could assist them," she says. "Threatening dedicated trained caregivers with litigation also threatens the welfare of the children within that student population.

"When you marginalize this student population and force them to go into hiding, they won't stop questioning," she says. "They simply will not receive the help that they need."

Bixler says forcing children into the closet will seriously affect their well-being, and spark drug use, homelessness, and ill mental health.

"But I believe there's a bigger question here," she says.

Bixler knows the bill is just one of many aimed at transgender youth, in Arizona and around the country. She looks up from her notes, eyeing the committee members.

"What are you afraid of?"

Bixler lives in Goodyear, in a spacious home thoughtfully decorated in desert colors. It's on a sculpted cul-de-sac, lined with cactuses, in the long shadows of the Estrella Mountains, right on the edge of the city sprawl.

It's a conservative pocket of metropolitan Phoenix. In 2020, when Arizona turned blue, 59% of Bixler's precinct voted for Trump.

You might expect a transgender woman โ€” and a Democrat to boot โ€” to feel like a fish out of water.

But not Bixler.

"It's been pretty positive," she tells The Arizona Republic.

She goes everywhere, she says, and is mostly met with blissful indifference.

"When I do get a reaction, it's usually the little kids. They'll kind of look at me, they kind of wonder what's going on," she says. "And I just smile and wave at them and so on."

But Bixler, a retired school teacher, was left in disbelief at the January meeting as legislators grappled with the issues at hand.

"The lack of understanding is just amazing," she says.

"I couldn't believe this guy didn't understand why a child would feel that having this deep, dark secret exposed without their permission would be a problem.

"How could they not see that?"

Bixler hasn't in the past made a habit of turning up to committee meetings. But the gender identity clause in HB2161 seemed so patently unfair that she felt compelled to say something.

"I figured I was in a good place to do that," she says.

She was certainly in a unique place to speak out.

As someone who transitioned โ€” albeit late in life, which carries different considerations than with children โ€” Bixler understands the process. She knows what it feels like to have gender dysphoria from a young age, and to go through life trying to repress it.

And, Bixler knows schools.

She spent more than three decades working in the public school system in Arizona and Texas, in roles ranging from teacher to coach to principal.

She also may very well be the first transgender woman to hold an elected public office in Arizona.

In 2020, she found herself with time on her hands, and wanting to contribute to the community.

"I thought, 'shoot, what I know is public education. And right here in Arizona, they could use me.'"

So in the summer of 2020, she went from door to door in her district, collecting signatures to get on the ballot for the Liberty Elementary School District board.

Bixler is so gregarious that it's actually believable when she says she enjoys canvassing, even in the Arizona heat. "I like people," she says, grinning.

The election was uncontested in the end, and so Bixler is careful to clarify she is not the first transgender woman to actually be elected to public office in Arizona.
