If you study the Clinton family long enough, you quickly have an epiphany: the trail of deceased individuals associated with them is very large, indeed. This would include not just business and political associates, but also reporters as well. Either Bill Clinton just has terrible coincidences or he is involved in organized crime, I’m not sure which. But before I digress too much, apparently the reporter who broke the bombshell story about the tarmac meeting between former President Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch in June 2016 has now been found deceased in an Alabama residence.
Veteran TV Anchor
Long-time TV Anchor Christopher Sign was found dead by first responders inside an Alabama residence early Saturday morning after emergency first responders received a 911 call, according to AL.com. Sign had been working as the weeknight anchor for ABC 33/40 in Birmingham.
Lt. Keith Czeskleba said that Sign’s death is being investigated as an apparent suicide. Eric Land was the VP and the general manager of ABC 33/40, and issued the following statement:
Our deepest sympathy is shared with Christopher’s loving family and close friends. We have lost a revered colleague whose indelible imprint will serve forever as a hallmark of decency, honesty, and journalist integrity. We can only hope to carry on his legacy. May his memory be a blessing.
Sign was 45 years old and is survived by his wife and three children.
What about the Clinton-Lynch story?
Christopher Sign first gained national attention when he reported that Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch had met privately on the tarmac at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor International Airport in June 2016. At the time, Sign was working for KNXV-TV in Phoenix.
The Clinton-Lynch meeting triggered a lot of controversies, to say the least. First, it came on the heels of when the FBI was investigating Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server when she was the secretary of state. As a matter of fact, this meeting came just a matter of a few days before then-FBI Director James Comey announced that Hillary Clinton was not going to be facing charges regarding her use of this private server or the possibility of her mishandling classified information.
Both Clinton and Lynch denied discussing the FBI’s investigation, instead claiming that their 20-minute conversation on the tarmac was personal in nature.
Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on the FBI’s Hillary Clinton email investigation indicated that Lynch’s staff felt “shocked” and “blindsided” that she would meet with Clinton. The IG report said a senior Lynch staffer ended the meeting when she realized just how many problems could occur as a result.
Sign later wrote a book about the meeting — “Secret on the Tarmac” — and told Fox News last year, “there’s so much that doesn’t add up” about the meeting.
Do you think that Mr. Sign really killed himself? Feel free to share your thoughts on this.
