"I need to improperly influence the AG. Why don't I do it on a tarmac in front of the media?"

Said no one ever.

This is all BS.

If the Clintons wanted to influence the Attorney General, they have all manner of ways to get to her. It wouldn't be Bill Clinton chatting her up at an FBO.

This was a spontaneous social chat. Period.

Of course, none of that matters anymore - this has taken on a life of its own, thanks to the bored media who need to cover something other than Trump's meltdown and love nothing more than smearing the Clintons.
