While many of us are glued to our televisions watching the City of Baltimore descend into flames and chaos and dreading what nightfall might bring, President Obama is reportedly meeting with newly sworn-in Attorney General Loretta Lynch and discussing the situation.

The press corps and television cameras were not permitted in a WH photo of the president and AG Lynch…only a pool of still photographers

Loretta Lynch, CNN reports, at White House meeting with Obama RIGHT NOW on #BlackLivesMatter VIOLENCE, RIOTS in Baltimore

At least that’s what we’ve been told; reporters won’t have the opportunity to ask questions tonight, as the White House has declared a travel and photo lid.
WH just declared a travel/photo lid. There will evidently be no opportunity to hear from Obama tonight. #Baltimore

@Txsleuth @GayPatriot Obama is slipping. We should have gotten a "Freddie Gray could be my son" comment by now.

@edhenry @justinsink his writers have run out of material and AG doesn't have one yet to develop talking points.

New AG Lynch updated Obama on Baltimore, says DOJ "stands ready to provide any assistance that might be helpful," WH says

@markknoller Loretta Lynch. She will ensure peace is restored to Baltimore. NOT.

It’s not difficult to predict how Attorney General Lynch will approach the crisis of race riots in Baltimore — as Vice President Biden said this morning at her swearing-in ceremony, Lynch is “cut from the exact same cloth” as Eric Holder. So expect more of the same that brought us to this point.
Shocked, shocked six years of divisive remarks and a DOJ bent on social justice has transformed our nation into a fiery powder keg.
