I had to be honest w/@LorettaLynch and tell her that she is much more personal, human, and informed then I thought based off of her speeches

Discussed consent decrees, police union contracts, @LorettaLynch's past work in NYC + her plan for what she's trying to do now in this role.

Going to the meeting w/AG @LorettaLynch I didn't know what to expect based off of her previous comments in the media around police violence.
