Explain the concept of "reading the tea leaves" in relation to interactions between Bill Clinton and the former Attorney General while acknowledging the potential negative public perception of those interactions.
No damage to either the fed AG or Clinton. That's ridiculous to think it. Why? Everyone that has ever worked for government knows that it's called "reading the tea leaves." Bill meets AG on a plane and talk about grandkids. Whether true or not does not matter. The appearance to the public or idiot pundits does not matter. It's survival in that precious government job simply: "Don't rock the boat...wink,wink."
