Hillary says we must trust our Government
Fri, 08/16/2013 - 9:02am | posted by Liz Harrison

Hillary Clinton is starting a whirlwind tour to promote the concept of trusting the government, and touting the merits of transparency in government. While it might be very tempting to consider this a really ironic punchline of a joke, that’s really what the former Secretary of State is doing.

On a practical level, it does make some sense that Hillary would consider it necessary to restore the nation’s faith in its government. As to whether or not she really “gets” why she is absolutely the wrong person to attempt to deliver that message will undoubtedly remain a mystery. Yes, it is very likely that detractors from the right will regularly lampoon her with comments including her infamous statement on Benghazi - “What difference does it make?” That will be enjoyable in the short term, but given the nature of the public and mainstream media, it is foolish to expect that will be enough to defuse her attempts to lie her way to a reasonable chance at seating herself in the Oval Office.

Make no mistake, that is exactly what this tour is about. It has nearly nothing to do with its stated aim. Hillary will be out there making it clear that while she’s somewhat the same as her former boss, she isn’t for the cloak and dagger activities of this administration that have been called “phony scandals” in an attempt to keep them out of the public eye. If that isn’t her gameplan, then she really doesn’t have any intention of running in 2016.

That doesn’t mean that the right and civil libertarians should give her a pass, of course. It does mean that it is time to pay attention to what Hillary has to say, and call her on every hypocritical statement she will have to make. Every blatant lie must be debunked, publicly. And make no mistake, there will have to be a lot of them in the meat and bones of these speeches, or this tour really won’t be about restoring faith in government. Hillary cannot be permitted to distance herself from the Obama Administration because of the obvious - she was neck deep in everything that she will undoubtedly be criticizing.

So, that means instead of going with the kneejerk reaction to simply make fun of her, it is time to sharpen our investigative skills. It is time to respond with not just jokes, but with facts to contradict the lies. Remember, this is just step one on Hillary’s trail to 2016. She has to distance herself from the sins of the current administration, and make the public think that she wasn’t a willing participant in its wrongdoing. It’s not something Hillary has a choice about either.

There will be a great deal of fodder for the opposition in the pile of questionable characters she and Bill have admitted to their inner-circle over the years - see Terry McAuliffe and Huma Abedin for two. If this tour came remotely close to offering “truth in advertising”, it would be called “The Restoring Faith In Hillary - Who Wasn’t Really Involved In All That Bad Stuff Obama Did” tour. And so the battle for 2016 has started. Time to dig in, and reveal the truth, because the lies are about to get very deep.

Hillary Clinton exploded at a congressman two days after Benghazi for suggesting that the attack was the work of terrorists.

The congressman appeared on the Fox News Channel on Friday, recalling Clinton ‘basically, in a very loud, angry voice, saying:

“It’s irresponsible to even suggest this is a terror attack. This is a YouTube video. We know that there are protests all over, and we need to be very careful how we’re saying this”.

Rather than receive a medal should Hilary Clinton be prosecuted for her role in the Benghazi coverup?

6 "INCONVENIENT TRUTHS" ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON

The truth: Hillary has a long, checkered career full of scandals and lies. She's all the Democrats have right now, but let's hope she's not the unstoppable political machine they make her out to be.

In light of all the Hillary buzz and the Clinton 2016 infomercials in the form of miniseries and movies to be produced by “Inconvenient Truth” producer Courtney Sexton, it’s worth a look at what we’re actually dealing with.

Is Hillary an unstoppable political force and inevitable first female president or scandal-ridden wannabe with a ton of baggage? Here are a few reasons to lean toward the latter.

1. Hillary’s involvement in scandals started early.
As a 27-year-old staffer, she was fired from the Watergate committee for fraud and unethical behavior.

Her former boss, Jerry Zeifman, finally spoke out in 2008: “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

So maybe the lying isn’t so much a new thing.

2. Seriously, she’s really into coverups.

Then, in 1993 the Clintons took the White House, and seven White House travel office employees were fired for “mismanagement.” The White House spokeswoman at the time, Dee Dee Myers, suggested that the employees were under FBI investigation. Some said it was all a show, because they wanted to get friends of the Clintons in office. Who knows.

From a June 2000 article in the Los Angeles Times:

There is “substantial evidence” that First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton lied under oath in denying that she played a role in the 1993 White House travel office firings, independent counsel Robert W. Ray reported Thursday.

The problem – again – was the cover up. They acted like they knew nothing, the truth never came out, and Hillary walked away.

3. She lied about being shot at by a Bosnian sniper.

Remember this badass report from Sharyl Attkisson? Worth revisiting.

4. She really isn’t that good for women.

Turns out that being a women in a high profile role isn’t enough to make you a role model for women. Hillary is novel as the first woman to have a real shot at the Presidency, and that earns her points with a lot of the feminists who seem to overlook some of her most glaring issues.

As Camille Paglia wrote during the 2008 campaign: If they are to be truly equal, women must fight their own fights and not rely on a borrowed spotlight.

Hillary has tried to have it both ways: to batten on her husband’s nostalgic popularity while simultaneously claiming to be a victim of sexism.

Well, which is it? Are men convenient sugar daddies or condescending oppressors?

And for all of the fanfare, all of the opportunities her husband has handed her, what has she really done with her power? The truth is that, well, not much.

5. She hasn’t actually done much with her power.

Her husband was elected to the presidency in 1992. Hillary, by all accounts, was incredibly influential in his administration. That much we know. Since then, she’s been a senator from the state of New York. And then under Obama, she served as Secretary of State. What are her legacies?

Let’s start with her tenure as First Lady of the United States. The most memorable moments from her eight years as First Lady boil down to Monica Lewinsky, Whitewater, and the defeat of Hillarycare. In 1994, her flagship effort to pass sweeping health care reform was a failure – we had to wait until Barack Obama for that destruction.

Then she had nine years in the U.S. Senate as the first woman elected from New York. She followed Sen. Chuck Schumer’s lead on getting funding to rebuild after 9/11, and then supported Bush’s military action in Afghanistan. She befriended Newt Gingrich to try to revive universal health care. She was re-elected easily in 2006, but by 2007 she was running for president and held the Democrat line. She served half of her second term before stepping down to accept her new position as Barack Obama’s Secretary of State.

As Secretary of State she was undoubtedly hard working and competent, but is that enough to make her a remarkable Secretary of State? She visited 112 countries. There were no major gaffes or screw-ups (which in and of itself is a win for a Clinton). Her Russia Reset Button fell flat, and they still hate us. She gave a beautiful speech the night Osama bin Laden was killed. Overall, it was an unremarkable run that boils down to one horrible night in Libya, where she failed to answer the 3 a.m. phone call.

6. Benghazi.

On Sept. 11, 2012, Ambassador Chris Stevens and 3 other Americans were murdered by Islamic militants in Benghazi, Libya. Originally the attack was blamed on outrage due to an anti-Muslim YouTube video, and then-UN Ambassador Susan Rice made the rounds to all the Sunday shows to denounce the hate speech. For weeks, Hillary adamantly supported the ridiculous notion that these were “spontaneous demonstrations,” despite overwhelming evidence that she knew from the beginning that this was simply false.

More questions went unanswered. There were heated hearings, investigations, accusations, and cover-ups. The investigation still has not found out why requests for help were denied or who was responsible.

One thing, however, is clear. As CEO of the State Department, Hillary Clinton is ultimately responsible. Frustrated with the line of questioning during the hearing, Hillary exploded. The clip below shows how she feels about figuring out how the murders actually happened.

The truth is that Hillary has a long, checkered career, full of scandals and lies. Right now, she’s all the Democrats have to succeed Barack Obama, but she may very well not be the unstoppable political machine that they make her out to be.

For the sake of America, let’s hope that she isn’t.

Hillary Clinton Heckled During College Speech: 'Benghazi, Benghazi, You Let Them Die!'
By Noel Sheppard | October 23, 2013

As NewsBusters reported, the media were practically orgasmic last week when Hillary Clinton stepped into politics endorsing Terry McAuliffe for governor of Virginia. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2013/10/20/martha-raddatz-hillary-clinton-shes-got-run

Will they give similar coverage to a speech Clinton gave at the University of Buffalo Wednesday which was interrupted by a man in the audience screaming, "Benghazi, Benghazi, you let them die!" (videos follow with commentary):

The first video was taken by University cameras and of course focused on Clinton without moving toward the heckler. ( go to link )

However, this second video, though low quality, was taken by someone present in the auditorium giving better audio of the heckler's comments.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sKWbxT7iO94

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sKWbxT7iO94

As our friends at Twitchy reported, numerous people tweeted what occurred claiming that the heckler was removed. http://twitchy.com/2013/10/23/you-let-them-die-hillary-clinton-heckled-about-benghazi-during-speech-pic/

This led Clinton to say, "We have to be willing to come together as citizens to focus on the kind of future we want, which doesn't include yelling. It includes sitting down and talking with one another."

This was met with loud applause from the audience, and likely would from the media as well if the word "Benghazi" wasn't uttered.

Or will so-called "journalists" reference Clinton being heckled and handling it well without mentioning the man said "Benghazi" which they like President Obama consider to be a phony scandal?

If this gets covered at all, that's my bet.

*****Update: Readers have probably noticed the second video no longer works. Here's a better one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I41OyacHxc&feature=player_embedded

Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior
Posted on 14 June, 2013 by Dylan Dan Calabrese

Bet you didn’t know this.

I’ve decided to reprint a piece of work I did nearly five years ago, because it seems very relevant today given Hillary Clinton’s performance in the Benghazi hearings. Back in 2008 when she was running for president, I interviewed two erstwhile staff members of the House Judiciary Committee who were involved with the Watergate investigation when Hillary was a low-level staffer there. I interviewed one Democrat staffer and one Republican staffer, and wrote two pieces based on what they told me about Hillary’s conduct at the time.

I published these pieces back in 2008 for North Star Writers Group, the syndicate I ran at the time. This was the most widely read piece we ever had at NSWG, but because NSWG never gained the high-profile status of the major syndicates, this piece still didn’t reach as many people as I thought it deserved to. Today, given the much broader reach of CainTV and yet another incidence of Hillary’s arrogance in dealing with a congressional committee, I think it deserves another airing. For the purposes of simplicity, I’ve combined the two pieces into one very long one. If you’re interested in understanding the true character of Hillary Clinton, it’s worth your time to read it.

As Hillary Clinton came under increasing scrutiny for her story about facing sniper fire in Bosnia, one question that arose was whether she has engaged in a pattern of lying.

The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.

Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

Why?

“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

House Committee 1974 Hillary Clinton fired for lies, unethical behavior

How could a 27-year-old House staff member do all that? She couldn’t do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of several individuals – including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum – who engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation.

Why would they want to do that? Because, according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E. Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president. Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach – including Kennedy’s purported complicity in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro.

The actions of Hillary and her cohorts went directly against the judgment of top Democrats, up to and including then-House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill, that Nixon clearly had the right to counsel. Zeifman says that Hillary, along with Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar, was determined to gain enough votes on the Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. And in order to pull this off, Zeifman says Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents to hide her deception.

The brief involved precedent for representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding. When Hillary endeavored to write a legal brief arguing there is no right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding, Zeifman says, he told Hillary about the case of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, who faced an impeachment attempt in 1970.

“As soon as the impeachment resolutions were introduced by (then-House Minority Leader Gerald) Ford, and they were referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the first thing Douglas did was hire himself a lawyer,” Zeifman said.

The Judiciary Committee allowed Douglas to keep counsel, thus establishing the precedent. Zeifman says he told Hillary that all the documents establishing this fact were in the Judiciary Committee’s public files. So what did Hillary do?

“Hillary then removed all the Douglas files to the offices where she was located, which at that time was secured and inaccessible to the public,” Zeifman said. Hillary then proceeded to write a legal brief arguing there was no precedent for the right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding – as if the Douglas case had never occurred.

The brief was so fraudulent and ridiculous, Zeifman believes Hillary would have been disbarred if she had submitted it to a judge.

Zeifman says that if Hillary, Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar had succeeded, members of the House Judiciary Committee would have also been denied the right to cross-examine witnesses, and denied the opportunity to even participate in the drafting of articles of impeachment against Nixon.

Of course, Nixon’s resignation rendered the entire issue moot, ending Hillary’s career on the Judiciary Committee staff in a most undistinguished manner. Zeifman says he was urged by top committee members to keep a diary of everything that was happening. He did so, and still has the diary if anyone wants to check the veracity of his story. Certainly, he could not have known in 1974 that diary entries about a young lawyer named Hillary Rodham would be of interest to anyone 34 years later.

But they show that the pattern of lies, deceit, fabrications and unethical behavior was established long ago – long before the Bosnia lie, and indeed, even before cattle futures, Travelgate and Whitewater – for the woman who is still asking us to make her president of the United States.

Franklin Polk, who served at the time as chief Republican counsel on the committee, confirmed many of these details in two interviews he granted me this past Friday, although his analysis of events is not always identical to Zeifman’s. Polk specifically confirmed that Hillary wrote the memo in question, and confirmed that Hillary ignored the Douglas case. (He said he couldn’t confirm or dispel the part about Hillary taking the Douglas files.)

To Polk, Hillary’s memo was dishonest in the sense that she tried to pretend the Douglas precedent didn’t exist. But unlike Zeifman, Polk considered the memo dishonest in a way that was more stupid than sinister.

“Hillary should have mentioned that (the Douglas case), and then tried to argue whether that was a change of policy or not instead of just ignoring it and taking the precedent out of the opinion,” Polk said.

10-28-2013, 07:02 PM

Polk recalled that the attempt to deny counsel to Nixon upset a great many members of the committee, including just about all the Republicans, but many Democrats as well.

“The argument sort of broke like a firestorm on the committee, and I remember Congressman Don Edwards was very upset,” Polk said. “He was the chairman of the subcommittee on constitutional rights. But in truth, the impeachment precedents are not clear. Let’s put it this way. In the old days, from the beginning of the country through the 1800s and early 1900s, there were precedents that the target or accused did not have the right to counsel.”

That’s why Polk believes Hillary’s approach in writing the memorandum was foolish. He says she could have argued that the Douglas case was an isolated example, and that other historical precedents could apply.

But Zeifman says the memo and removal of the Douglas files was only part the effort by Hillary, Doar, Nussbaum and Marshall to pursue their own agenda during the investigation.

After my first column, some readers wrote in claiming Zeifman was motivated by jealousy because he was not appointed as the chief counsel in the investigation, with that title going to Doar instead.

Zeifman’s account is that he supported the appointment of Doar because he, Zeifman, a) did not want the public notoriety that would come with such a high-profile role; and b) didn’t have much prosecutorial experience. When he started to have a problem with Doar and his allies was when Zeifman and others, including House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill and Democratic committee member Jack Brooks of Texas, began to perceive Doar’s group as acting outside the directives and knowledge of the committee and its chairman, Peter Rodino.

(O’Neill died in 1994. Brooks is still living and I tried unsuccessfully to reach him. I’d still like to.)

This culminated in a project to research past presidential abuses of power, which committee members felt was crucial in aiding the decisions they would make in deciding how to handle Nixon’s alleged offenses.

According to Zeifman and other documents, Doar directed Hillary to work with a group of Yale law professors on this project. But the report they generated was never given to the committee. Zeifman believes the reason was that the report was little more than a whitewash of the Kennedy years – a part of the Burke Marshall-led agenda of avoiding revelations during the Watergate investigation that would have embarrassed the Kennedys.

The fact that the report was kept under wraps upset Republican committee member Charles Wiggins of California, who wrote a memo to his colleagues on the committee that read in part:

Within the past few days, some disturbing information has come to my attention. It is requested that the facts concerning the matter be investigated and a report be made to the full committee as it concerns us all.

Early last spring when it became obvious that the committee was considering presidential “abuse of power” as a possible ground of impeachment, I raised the question before the full committee that research should be undertaken so as to furnish a standard against which to test the alleged abusive conduct of Richard Nixon.

As I recall, several other members joined with me in this request. I recall as well repeating this request from time to time during the course of our investigation. The staff, as I recall, was noncommittal, but it is certain that no such staff study was made available to the members at any time for their use.

Wiggins believed the report was purposely hidden from committee members. Chairman Rodino denied this, and said the reason Hillary’s report was not given to committee members was that it contained no value. It’s worth noting, of course, that the staff member who made this judgment was John Doar.

In a four-page reply to Wiggins, Rodino wrote in part:

Hillary Rodham of the impeachment inquiry staff coordinated the work. . . . After the staff received the report it was reviewed by Ms. Rodham, briefly by Mr. Labovitz and Mr. Sack, and by Doar. The staff did not think the manuscript was useful in its present form. . . .

In your letter you suggest that members of the staff may have intentionally suppressed the report during the course of its investigation. That was not the case.

As a matter of fact, Mr. Doar was more concerned that any highlight of the project might prejudice the case against President Nixon. The fact is that the staff did not think the material was usable by the committee in its existing form and had not had time to modify it so it would have practical utility for the members of the committee. I was informed and agreed with the judgment.

Mr. Labovitz, by the way, was John Labovitz, another member of the Democratic staff. I spoke with Labovitz this past Friday as well, and he is no fan of Jerry Zeifman.

“If it’s according to Zeifman, it’s inaccurate from my perspective,” Labovitz said. He bases that statement on a recollection that Zeifman did not actually work on the impeachment inquiry staff, although that is contradicted not only by Zeifman but Polk as well.

Labovitz said he has no knowledge of Hillary having taken any files, and defended her no-right-to-counsel memo on the grounds that, if she was assigned to write a memo arguing a point of view, she was merely following orders.

But as both Zeifman and Polk point out, that doesn’t mean ignoring background of which you are aware, or worse, as Zeifman alleges, confiscating documents that disprove your argument.

All told, Polk recalls the actions of Hillary, Doar and Nussbaum as more amateurish than anything else.

“Of course the Republicans went nuts,” Polk said. “But so did some of the Democrats – some of the most liberal Democrats. It was more like these guys – Doar and company – were trying to manage the members of Congress, and it was like, ‘Who’s in charge here?’ If you want to convict a president, you want to give him all the rights possible. If you’re going to give him a trial, for him to say, ‘My rights were denied,’ – it was a stupid effort by people who were just politically tone deaf. So this was a big deal to people in the proceedings on the committee, no question about it. And Jerry Zeifman went nuts, and rightfully so. But my reaction wasn’t so much that it was underhanded as it was just stupid.”

Polk recalls Zeifman sharing with him at the time that he believed Hillary’s primary role was to report back to Burke Marshall any time the investigation was taking a turn that was not to the liking of the Kennedys.

“Jerry used to give the chapter and verse as to how Hillary was the mole into the committee works as to how things were going,” Polk said. “And she’d be feeding information back to Burke Marshall, who, at least according to Jerry, was talking to the Kennedys. And when something was off track in the view of the Kennedys, Burke Marshall would call John Doar or something, and there would be a reconsideration of what they were talking about. Jerry used to tell me that this was Hillary’s primary function.”

Zeifman says he had another staff member get him Hillary’s phone records, which showed that she was calling Burke Marshall at least once a day, and often several times a day.

A final note about all this: I wrote my first column on this subject because, in the aftermath of Hillary being caught in her Bosnia fib, I came in contact with Jerry Zeifman and found his story compelling. Zeifman has been trying to tell his story for many years, and the mainstream media have ignored him. I thought it deserved an airing as a demonstration of how early in her career Hillary began engaging in self-serving, disingenuous conduct.

Disingenuously arguing a position? Vanishing documents? Selling out members of her own party to advance a personal agenda? Classic Hillary. Neither my first column on the subject nor this one were designed to show that Hillary is dishonest. I don’t really think that’s in dispute. Rather, they were designed to show that she has been this way for a very long time – a fact worth considering for anyone contemplating voting for her for president of the United States.

By the way, there’s something else that started a long time ago.

“She would go around saying, ‘I’m dating a person who will some day be president,’” Polk said. “It was like a Babe Ruth call. And because of that comment she made, I watched Bill Clinton’s political efforts as governor of Arkansas, and I never counted him out because she had made that forecast.”

Bill knew what he wanted a long time ago. Clearly, so did Hillary, and her tactics for trying to achieve it were established even in those early days.

Just a quick refresher course lest we forget what has happened to many "friends" of the Clintons
Anyone else in this country surrounded by so many suicides, suspicious deaths and obvious murders would have been tried for more then 50 counts of Conspiracy to Commit Murder - since I'm sure neither Bill nor Hillary every did anything themselves.

Hillary's List of Lies By Dick Morris

Hillary simply cannot tell the truth. Here's her scorecard:

Admitted Lies

• Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
(She was in bed watching it on TV.)

• Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary.
(She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)

• She was under sniper fire in Bosnia.
(A young girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)

• She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market.
(It didn't cover the market back then.)

Whoppers She Won't Confess To

• She didn't know about the FALN pardons.

• She didn't know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.

• Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.

• She didn't know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.

• She didn't know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.

• She opposed NAFTA at the time.

• She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.

• She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.

• She played a role in the '90s economic recovery.

• The billing records showed up on their own.

• She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.

• She was always a Yankees fan.

• She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).

• She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there).

With a record like that, is it any wonder that we suspect her of being less than honest and straightforward?

*Admin notes: And the most current BIG LIE of all:

A YOUTUBE Video caused the massacre at Benghazi.

Then there's the FAKE HOSPITALIZATION when the HEAT WAS ON for Benghazi!

Dick Morris (né Richard S. Morris; born 28 November 1948) is an American political author and commentator who previously worked as a pollster, political campaign consultant, and general political consultant.

A friend and advisor to Bill Clinton during his time as Governor of Arkansas, Morris became a political adviser to the White House after Clinton was elected president in 1992. Morris encouraged Clinton to pursue third way policies of triangulation that combined traditional Republican and Democratic proposals, rhetoric, and issues so as to achieve maximum political gain and popularity. He worked as a Republican strategist before joining the Clinton administration, where he helped Clinton recover from the 1994 midterm elections by advising the President to adopt more moderate policies. The president consulted Morris in secret beginning in 1994. Clinton's communications director George Stephanopoulos has said, "Over the course of the first nine months of 1995, no single person had more power over the president."

Morris went on to become campaign manager of Bill Clinton's successful 1996 bid for re-election to the office of President. His tenure on that campaign was cut short two months before the election, when it was revealed that he had allowed a prostitute to listen in on conversations with the President.

"Every moment wasted looking back keeps us from moving forward."—Hilary Clinton

about an hour ago

Some of the comments :

Those who choose to forget the past are doomed to repeat it. You have to acknowledge the past in order to learn from it and make the future better

..

what difference does it make? *Benghazi*

..

I cant believe you're quoting Hillary "what difference does it make* Clinton

..

Allowing US citizens/ diplomats to be murdered is not a past we should forget. Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

When the sleight of hand distracts usfrom what you are doing, we have to go back to see what you have been doing...

and should we all believe that "ignorance is bliss"? is this why government does not want the people to know the truth? then again it is said if you do not use it, you lose it so if people stop using what god gave them, we can all be blithering idiots and allow our "leaders" to do what they please (which they pretty much already do). I personally resent government telling me I am too dumb to think, I know nothing, I should concentrate on trying to put one foot in front of the other because I lack the capability of doing anything else. Also to have any government leader not care about their country and that country's citizens would put any country in the same predicament (not a strong enough word) as nazi germany. I do not want this country to be a repeat of german history with a leader who does not respect life and liberty, who has a master plan to exterminate those whose beliefs differ, who might be smarter, who might not want this supreme leader to dictate leaving the citizens without any control of their government or their lives.

7 Reasons Hillary Would Make a Terrible President
January 10, 2014

7 – You Mean a Lawmaker is Supposed to Pass Bills? As a U.S. Senator Hillary accomplished exactly nothing. Not a single piece of landmark legislation to her name.

6 – First Lady Fail Hillary’s health care plan bombed so bad it cost the Democrats control of Congress, including control of the House of Representatives for the first time in 40 years.

5 – Scandalmania Many of the Clinton era scandals in the 90’s – including the opening up of 900 confidential FBI files of political opponents – cast Hillary in a suspicious light. Nothing was proven, but you know how that goes.

4 – Playing Political Games With Foreign Policy Hillary Clinton admitted her opposition to the troop surge in Iraq was politically motivated because she knew she would be facing Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic primary.

3 – Hillary Aide’s Special Treatment Huma Abedin, a “top adviser” to Hillary Clinton at the State Department (and wife of Anthony Weiner), was given a special arrangement that allowed her to earn money from a corporation formed by a Bill Clinton aide, and allowed her to serve in a role with the Clinton Foundation while she was a federal employee.Conveniently, Huma forgot to disclose the arrangement on the State Department financial disclosure forms. Oops.

2 – Hillary Was Fired During The Watergate Investigation Hillary was fired for her work during the Watergate investigation. As her supervisor at the time put it, “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

1 – Benghazi: Four Americans Dead on Hillary’s Watch Under her reign as Secretary of State Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were murdered when terrorists stormed the American compound in Benghazi, Libya. When she was questioned about the Obama Administration’s initial story that the attack was provoked by an anti-Islam YouTube video, Clinton callously blurted, “What difference, at this point, does it make?”

Really!?

15 More Benghazi-Related Victims Murdered: Does it Matter Now Hillary?
Posted on Thursday, January 16th, 2014 at 2:27 pm. By Dean Garrison

Wednesday the Senate finally made a statement about Benghazi. A bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee has found that the State Department could have likely prevented the death of four Americans in Benghazi if they would not have ignored the intelligence reports and pleas for assistance from our diplomatic mission. The findings are that increased security was needed.

USA Today reports:

Congressional Democrats for the first time joined the GOP to condemn the State Department for refusing security measures they say could have prevented the deaths of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans in Benghazi.

The report, worked on for months and released Wednesday by a bipartisan Senate intelligence committee, also says 15 people in Libya who have tried to help the FBI investigate the murders have been killed.

15 persons in Libya who were attempting to cooperate with the FBI investigation are now dead.

Isn’t that convenient?

Does it matter now Mrs. Clinton?

I have to wonder how intelligent our Intelligence Committee really is, because alternative media seems to be far beyond what these Senators are finding. Here’s another thought. Maybe they aren’t that stupid but they think that we are.

Not only did we need more security, the security we hired was grounds for treason. How many Americans know that our State Department hired a group called the February 17th Martyr’s Brigade to defend the diplomatic mission?

You didn’t know that? And why should you care?

Because the February 17th Martyr’s Brigade is al Qaeda. Why on earth would you hire the enemy to defend against itself? This is just one of many Benghazi facts that are not being reported in the American press, but let’s focus on these 15 unfortunate souls who tried to help the FBI.

What does it matter?

They probably weren’t Americans so why should we care?

I don’t know, but how many convenient deaths does that make now for Mrs. Hillary Clinton?

If you want to see a list of 46 you can find them here. Who could forget the mysterious Vince Foster suicide or James McDougal’s convenient heart attack? There are 44 more names on that list. If you want to dig really deep inside the deaths of many of these people you can visit a site called Arkancide.

Who could forget the bombshell admission of Larry Nichols?

The answer to that is probably almost everyone because very few even know the admission happened:

“Whenever I got an F2 call, that meant go and kill. State police are not trained to kill in … the late ’70s, early ’80s. There were no SWAT teams…. I had an F2 call, that meant go in and kill a guy. I didn’t give a shit…. When it [the order to kill] came from the president [Reagan], it was for God and country. When it came from Clinton, hell, I didn’t give a damn. I just go kill somebody, cut his nuts off.”

Why is it that no one takes this interview seriously? Why has none of the mainstream media reported it? If it is untrue then expose Larry Nichols as a liar and let’s move on. But the media acts like the interview never happened. Larry Nichols and the Clintons should be investigated and likely stand trial. Nichols made these comments on a national radio show and no one seems to care.

So, as we head closer and closer to 2016, and an almost guaranteed Hillary Clinton victory, the American people still don’t seem to care.

Someday Americans need to learn to think for themselves. There are bad democrats and bad republicans. 95% of them are worthless no matter what party they choose to affiliate with. But so many people would rather vote for a person surrounded by “convenient deaths” than to cross party lines or simply make a wise decision in the primaries. If the election were held today, which thankfully it was not, Hillary would have won in a landslide and people don’t seem to care.

So today we add 15 “collateral damage” deaths to the Benghazi list and there is still no evidence that can directly implicate Hillary Clinton, at least in the eyes of our lawmakers.

Did she have something to do with it? We have no proof so we will just chalk it up to 15 more convenient deaths. We will never likely have proof.

How many more people will have to conveniently die before Americans start seeing what is truly happening? If 2016 goes the way it looks, the answer to that could be a substantial number.

What does it matter if they are dead? You are still alive right?

Pray you never have anything that might implicate a Clinton, because if you do you might just kill yourself or be hit by a falling tree. I don’t know why it happens. It just does.

Oh and by the way, Barack Obama has had some friends conveniently die as well.

Could these 15 people have been killed by people not at all related to Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama?

Yes, obviously that is a possibility.

But it sure does seem convenient once again.

When and where does it end America?

ABC's Jon Karl Swears: New Hillary Documents Are 'Positive' and Not 'Politically Damaging'
By Scott Whitlock | February 11, 2014 | 12:02

Nothing to see here, according to ABC's Jon Karl. The Good Morning America correspondent on Tuesday told viewers that the so-called "Hillary papers," a treasure trove of quotes and documents, are a "positive portrayal" and "none of this appears to be politically damaging." [See video below. MP3 audio here http://newsbusters.org/sites/default/files/2013/2014-02-11-14-ABC-GMA-Karl.mp3 ] In contrast, Monday's NBC Nightly News worried that the papers are "brutal" and include "inflammatory excerpts."

CBS This Morning on Tuesday also offered a different take than ABC. In fact, co-host Norah O'Donnell hyped the 40 pages of notes and journals by a deceased Clinton confidant this way: "...A powerful Republican calls it a roadmap to beating Hillary Clinton in 2016." Yet Karl soothingly told viewers,
"All told, the papers offer a positive portrayal of Hillary Clinton from one of her closest friends, none of this appears to be politically damaging."

http://www.mrctv.org/videos/abcs-jon-karl-swears-new-hillary-documents-are-positive-and-not-politically-damaging

http://www.mrctv.org/videos/abcs-jon-karl-swears-new-hillary-documents-are-positive-and-not-politically-damaging

Co-hosts George Stephanopoulos and Robin Roberts both joked about how the Clintons wouldn't have much interest in discussing the topic. Karl made sure to note that the documents were reported by "the conservative website Washington Free Beacon." On CBS This Morning, Nancy Cordes made sure to label "the conservative news site."

When ABC cited the liberal website Talking Points Memo, no ideological distinction was made. On May 16, 2010, Jake Tapper described it simply as a "web site." On another occasion, Linsey Davis mentioned the "online politics website."

Providing more contrast, Cordes on CBS noted that Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus "says the material is fair game if Hillary runs in 2016." In a snippet, Priebus asserted, "I think we're going to have a truck load of opposition research on Hillary Clinton."

http://newsbusters.org/sites/default/files/2013/2014-02-11-14-ABC-GMA-BillClinton.JPG

The documents came from Diane Blair, a friend of Clinton who passed away from cancer in 2000. According to Blair's diary, Mrs. Clinton "reportedly told Blair in 1993, 'Hillary says press has big egos and no brains.'" An on-screen graphic notes the then-first lady "says press has big egos." The part about "no brains" was excised.

http://newsbusters.org/sites/default/files/2013/2014-02-11-14-CBS-TM-Hillary1.JPG

Alana Goodman of the Washington Free Beacon wrote:

[Clinton] told Blair that the affair did not include sex "within any real meaning" of the term and noted President Clinton "tried to manage" Monica after they broke up but things spiraled "beyond control.

Cordes included a clip of Jonathan Allen, author of HRC, a new book on the former Senator. According to Cordes, [Allen is] not sure these papers will influence voters but they will help to keep her in the spotlight."

On Monday's Nightly News, Andrea Mitchell huffed that the documents got "little notice until inflammatory excerpts were posted last night on an anti-Clinton website." A sympathetic Mitchell explained, "Hillary Clinton had no comment on a campaign already brutal two years before it's begun." http://newsbusters.org/blogs/matt-hadro/2014/02/10/nbc-frets-over-brutal-attack-anti-clinton-website

A partial transcript of the February 11 GMA segment is below:

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: We're going to go to Washington now and the private papers of a Hillary Clinton confidante. The newly released diary and documents shed new light on Clinton's thinking during what may have been the lowest point of her White House years, the Monica Lewinsky affair and ABC's Jonathan Karl has the details.

JON KARL: For decades, Diane Blair kept a diary chronicling in great detail her friendship with former First Lady Hillary Clinton right up until her death in 2000. But it remained under seal for years and was reported for the first time Monday by the conservative website Washington Free Beacon. Blair's diary portrays Mrs. Clinton as a hard-nosed political operative who is, quote, "in despair that nobody in the White House is tough and mean enough." The papers describe personal conversations Blair writes that she had with Mrs. Clinton during her time in the White House, offering new insight into Hillary Clinton's mind-set immediately after Bill Clinton admitted having an affair with white house intern Monica lewinsky.

BILL CLINTON: Indeed, I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong.

KARL: "It was a lapse," Blair writes, "but she says to his credit he tried to break it off, tried to pull away, tried to manage someone who was clearly a 'narcissistic looney toon" but it was beyond control. Blair also writes about Mrs. Clinton's frustration with critics who called her too aggressive and too political. "I'm a proud woman," Blair quotes Mrs. Clinton saying in 1996. "I know it confuses people when I change my hairdos. I know I should pretend not to have any opinions but I'm not going to. I gave up my name, got contact lenses but I'm not going to pretend to be somebody that I'm not." All told, the papers offer a positive portrayal of Hillary Clinton from one of her closest friends, none of this appears to be politically damaging, and asked to comment on it, Hillary Clinton's spokesperson is simply said no comment. George?

STEPHANOPOULOS: And they'll probably stick with that for awhile. Jon Karl, thanks very much.

ROBIN ROBERTS: [Laughs.] You think?

I subscribe to several military email networks and this week they’re lighting up about one very big story — the revelation that former Army General David Petraeus supports Hillary Clinton as President.

According to a New York Daily News report by Adam Edelman, “Former Army Gen. David Petraeus, who has traditionally stayed away from political endorsements, appears to be eager to support a Hillary Clinton candidacy, a new book alleges. “She’d make a tremendous President,” the former commander and CIA director reportedly says in the new book “ HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton,” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes.” “Like a lot of great leaders, her most impressive qualities were most visible during tough times,” Petraeus adds.

If I recall correctly, during a CBS 60 Minutes interview current National Security Advisor Susan Rice was asked why she did the Sunday talk show rounds after the Benghazi attack and not Secretary of State Clinton. Rice’s response was along the lines of Hillary Clinton had a very emotionally draining week.

Hmm, so you wanna be the Commander-in-Chief, but ya had a bad week and were just too exhausted to answer questions about the murder of a US Ambassador and three other Americans? Yep, that certainly is a display of impressive rigor and resilience during a tough time.

Perhaps General Petraeus was referring to the tough times of logging all those frequent flyer miles as President Obama alluded to on another 60 Minutes interview with the former Secretary of State.

I think we can all agree the “reset button” with Russia and President Vladimir Putin demonstrates great leadership and has obviously borne fruit. Not.

According to the new book, the unlikely pair became friends while Clinton was Secretary of State. Apparently, soon after taking office, Clinton invited Petraeus to her Washington home to drink wine and discuss Middle East issues. The night was so enjoyable, she invited him over again the next night to continue their chat.

So what do you think of this liaison? Seems like General Petraeus wants to be relevant again. He was a good general but failed to avoid the minefields of politics.

He should never have accepted the CIA position in the Obama administration. It’s widely known in military circles that General Wesley Clark, while not highly regarded by many retirees, is a close acquaintance of the Clintons as well. Seems there may be some “jockeying” for future positions in the event of a HRC administration. I would suggest General Petraeus beware the minefields.

He might do well to study the career trajectory of Generals Colin Powell and James Jones for additional insights.

MRC’s Dan Joseph went to the Democrats’ recent convention and asked some of them what Hillary Clinton’s biggest accomplishment were as Secretary of State. Most came up empty, a few said she traveled a lot. I like the guy that said foreign policy wasn’t really big on Obama’s agenda. (Yeah, no kidding!) I don’t think he got the irony there...

What Was the Best Thing About Hillary Clinton According to Gallup?

March 21, 2014 By Greg Campbell

Sitting in a coffee shop the other day, I encountered a man and his friend discussing the 2016 election. Curious, I, admittedly, eavesdropped and learned that the man intended to vote for Hillary in 2016. Why? Because, as he described his “rationale”: “She could be the first woman president and I want to tell me daughter that that ceiling has been broken.”

Apparently, this is not an uncommon sentiment as a recent Gallup Poll indicates that the vast majority of Americans questioned claim that if they were to vote for Hillary, it would be simply because she’s a woman.

According to Politico: http://www.politico.com/story/2014/03/hillary-clinton-2016-election-gender-poll-104882.html?hp=l3

Asked what the best thing about the former secretary of state being elected president would be, 18 percent of those surveyed in a Gallup poll released Friday said her breaking the gender barrier. That total was double the next answer, which was her experience and foreign policy chops.

In third place, with 8 percent, was that she would be a change from the Obama administration.

Other smaller reasons were that Bill Clinton would be in the White House again and could offer advice (2%) and that she would be “good for common people” (1%).

It’s incredible that in this day and age when we are supposed to consider the quality of character and the level of experience one is supposed to bring to a position of power that the vast majority of those polled would so candidly claim that the best thing about Hillary Clinton is her gender.

Perhaps even more disturbing, however, is the 8% that claimed that she would deserve the prestigious position because of her supposed foreign policy experience. Aside from horrendously mismanaging the State Department and facilitating the murder of four Americans at the hands of Islamic militants, there must remain one central question as we hurl towards 2016: what accomplishments, other than the aforementioned Benghazi debacle, has Hillary achieved?

... she would be a change from the Obama administration

What have these people been smoking ?? :weed:

18 percent of those surveyed in a Gallup poll released Friday said her breaking the gender barrier
>snip<
Other smaller reasons were that Bill Clinton would be in the White House again and could offer advice (2%)

So we vote for her because she is a woman ... and brings her husband along for advice ???

...

I guess the liberals will stop calling us "racists" and start calling us "sexists". If the Bitch of Benghazi is elected, I want to be called "secessionist". :) Why don't we vote for someone because they are QUALIFIED ???

..

Gee yeah, vote for her BECAUSE she is a woman. Just like you voted for Obama BECAUSE he was the first black president. That worked out great, didn't it?

..

Except his is not the first black president. He is the first half black president. Litmus test for voters!!!

..

The same idiots who voted for Obama because he is black and that is most of the people. If this is the reason some people will vote for Hillary, they have no business being in the booths.

..

If that were true, the Allen West would be CIC, and Sarah Palin next. But it doesn't account for those people who unrealistically believe progressives promote progress

..

What are Hillary's most notable accomplishments? Her ability to stand by her men when they lie. She stood by Willie after he was caught getting blown by a fat intern while on the job, and lying about it. She stood by her boss, PinocchiObama when he fabricated a lie about the Benghazi attack to save his political career. If she runs for president, she should use as her theme song "Stand By Your Man" by Tammy Wynette.

http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/907/6026/original.jpg?w=600&h

..

She will run and will win............Democrats vote for the party and most of them want the free stuff............"I want my Obama phone".......per the fat lady from Cleveland. Who does she admire? She said "Margaret Sanger"...........Isn't she the one that started Planned Parenthood and wanted to kill all the black babies?...... yet the blacks will vote her in.........they don't know any better 'cuz they want the freebies and vote blindly.

..

There is no doubt in my mind that IF she is going to run then she will win, the media will fuel the hype and ignore the facts. The youth of today are taught Bill was the greatest President ever (even above Lincoln) and since they were not born during the rapists tenure in office they will be like lemmings jumping off a cliff.[/I]

Disgusting: Clinton Snared In Pedophile Ring
Will having friends in high places exempt him from the rule of law?
Kris Zane — March 27, 2014

http://www.westernjournalism.com/clinton-snared-pedophile-ring/

http://www.westernjournalism.com/clinton-snared-pedophile-ring/

According to former child sex slave Virginia Roberts http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1363452/Bill-Clinton-15-year-old-masseuse-I-met-twice-claims-Epsteins-girl.html and a class action lawsuit against convicted billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, former President Bill Clinton was present during sex parties involving up to twenty underage girls at Epstein’s secluded island in the Caribbean. That flight records show Clinton was flown on numerous occasions to the island on Epstein’s private jet. Clinton had a close relationship with an employee of Epstein’s who compiled thousands of photos of nude young girls posed in lewd positions. And these photos were used as a catalog for Epstein to loan out his girls to powerful politicians and British royalty, including Bill Clinton.

According to the lawsuit: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2584309/Bill-Clinton-identified-lawsuit-against-former-friend-pedophile-Jeffrey-Epstein-regular-orgies-Caribbean-compound-former-president-visited-multiple-times.html

…Clinton was friends with an unnamed woman who “kept images of naked underage children on her computer, helped to recruit underage children for Epstein… and photographed underage females in sexually explicit poses.”

While Epstein was indicted and jailed for his pedophilia, Bill Clinton oddly has remained unscathed, more than likely by having friends in high places.

If Bill Clinton is in fact a pedophile, will the American people demand that he be put away for a very long time so that he can’t hurt any more children? Or will having friends in high places exempt him from the rule of law?

Time will tell.

Something smells...it has the whiff of yet another Clinton scandal.

The State Department misplaced and lost some $6 billion due to the improper filing of contracts during the past six years, mainly during the tenure of former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, according to a newly released Inspector General report.

The $6 billion in unaccounted funds poses a “significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Department’s contract actions,” according to the report.

The alert, originally sent on March 20 and just released this week, warns that the missing contracting funds “could expose the department to substantial financial losses.”

The report centered on State Department contracts worth “more than $6 billion in which contract files were incomplete or could not be located at all,” according to the alert.

“The failure to maintain contract files adequately creates significant financial risk and demonstrates a lack of internal control over the Department’s contract actions,” the alert states.

The situation “creates conditions conducive to fraud, as corrupt individuals may attempt to conceal evidence of illicit behavior by omitting key documents from the contract file,” the report concluded.

The State Department’s inability to properly file its paperwork is causing most of the losses, according to the report.

The IG “found repeated examples of poor contract file administration” over the years, the report said.

The State Department’s inability to properly file its paperwork is causing most of the losses, according to the report.

The IG “found repeated examples of poor contract file administration” over the years, the report said.

Contracts related to the U.S. war in Iraq, for instance, could not be produced in 33 out of 115 instances, according to the report.

“A recent OIG audit of the closeout process for contracts supporting the U.S. Mission in Iraq revealed that contracting officials were unable to provide 33 of 115 contract files requested in accordance with the audit sampling plan,” the report states.

The value of the 33 “missing files” totaled $2.1 billion, according to the report.

Additionally, 48 of the 82 contract files that were produced “did not contain all of the documentation required by” internal regulations, according to the report.

The 48 “incomplete files” were worth another $2.1 billion, according to the report.

A further audit of the department’s Bureau of African Affairs found that administrators “were unable to provide complete contract administration files for any of the eight contracts that were reviewed.”

These contracts were worth $34.8 million.

The investigation also found instances in which a company owned by the spouse of a contractor employee was not properly documented.

“In the case of work undertaken by OIG’s Office of Investigations, one investigation revealed that a contract file did not contain documentation reflecting that modifications and task orders were awarded to the company owned by the spouse of a contractor employee performing as a Contract Specialist for the contract,” the report states.

The contract in question was worth $52 million.

The report outlines several other instances in which contracts worth great values were mishandled.

“In a number of recent OIG inspections, OIG identified contract file management deficiencies. For example, COR files for a $2.5 million contract lacked status reports and a tally of the funds expended and remaining on the contract,” the report states.

The State Department appeared to agree with the IG’s recommendations in a March 28 response and said that it intends to ensure that contracts are completed properly.

Week 1 - Refuse to answer any questions. Immediately queue up the lap dog media to run interference.

Week 2 - Refuse to answer any questions, change the subject. Turn the gain up on the lap dog media.

Week 3 - Announce that everything has been answered, its time to "move forward", and state that no further questions on the subject will be answered.

Week 4 - Call it a "phony scandal" and highlight the fact that it never really happened in the first place. It was merely a miscommunication problem.

Week 5 - Accuse Republicans of trying to resurrect a phony scandal, and ask what difference at this point does it make anyway? Place a friendly call to the IRS for "assistance"

Week 6 - Accuse anyone asking the same questions that have never been answered about the phony scandal that doesn't matter any way, of being a racist. Pick up the phone to the NSA for closing arguments.

Week 7 - Blame Bush

Week 8 You are sexist and you hate women

Week 9 : "What difference at this point does it make?"

ABC Has Taken Their Obsession With The Clintons To The Stratosphere
ABC on Chelsea Clinton's Pregnancy: 'Move Over, Prince George'; U.S. Has New 'Royal'
By Scott Whitlock | April 18, 2014 | 10:35

http://newsbusters.org/sites/default/files/2013/2014-04-18-ABC-GMA-Clintons2.JPG

According to the liberal network journalists, being part of a Democratic family makes you "royalty." Reporters on ABC, CBS and NBC gushed over the announcement that Chelsea Clinton is pregnant. Good Morning America's Bianna Golodryga enthused, "Move over, Prince George, though. This morning, Americans have their own royal, or, rather, presidential baby, to look forward to. "

On CBS This Morning, Jan Crawford was almost as excited, hyping, "...This is not as quite as big of a deal as when Prince William and Kate Middleton said they were expecting. But in the U.S., I guess you could say political dynasties might be the thing we've got closest to royalty."

MP3 audio here. http://newsbusters.org/sites/default/files/2013/2014-04-18-ABC-GMA-Golodryga-Crawford.mp3

http://www.mrctv.org/videos/abc-chelsea-clintons-pregnancy-move-over-prince-george-us-has-new-royal

ABC previously labeled another Democratic family, the Kennedys, as "American royalty."

CBS co-host Gayle King fawned, "But you would have thought a member of my family had announced she was pregnant." She asked colleague Charlie Rose, "Are you excited?" He replied, "I actually am because I know them."

Compared to the "royalty" description, however, Rose was restrained, calling the Clintons "one of the country's most powerful political families."

On GMA, George Stephanopoulos heralded, "We all watched Chelsea Clinton grow up in the White House. " In Stephanopoulos's case, this is literally true. As a former Democratic operative, he worked for Bill Clinton in the White House.

On NBC's Today, Savannah Guthrie touted "one of the country's most prominent families."

Reporter Andrea Mitchell reminiced like a proud relative:

ANDREA MITCHELL: Chelsea grew up in front of our eyes, from the governor's mansion in Arkansas to the White House years. At her parents' side as they traveled the world and campaigned at home. More recently, she also joined the family business, a full partner in their foundation. But always right beside her mother in good times and bad.

As the Media Research Center's Brent Baker pointed out on Thursday night, on December 12, 2012, the NBC Nightly News allowed 33 seconds to the announcement of Jenna Bush Hager's pregnancy. ABC's World News and the CBS Evening News skipped it.

Since Thursday, the three networks have devoted 16 minutes and 48 seconds of coverage to Chelsea Clinton's pregnancy. On Thursday night, NBC, CBS and ABC offered five minutes and 17 seconds of coverage. The network morning shows devoted another 11 minutes and 31 seconds on Friday.

A transcript of the April 18 GMA segment is below:

ABC GRAPHIC: Baby on Board for Chelsea Clinton: Bill and Hillary to Be Grandparents

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: We're going to switch gears now and go to that big baby announcement. We all watched Chelsea Clinton grow up in the White House. Now, after some very public nudges from her very famous parents, she is having a child of her own. And our GMA weekend anchor Bianna Golodryga here with more on the happy news. Good morning, Bianna.

BIANNA GOLODRYGA: Hey. Good morning, George. I'm officially on baby watch this week. Move over, Prince George, though. This morning, Americans have their own royal, or, rather, presidential baby, to look forward to. Chelsea Clinton making the announcement that she and husband, Marc, are expecting at an event discussing efforts to advance women and girls, an event attended by her husband and beaming parents, soon-to-be grandparents. Former first daughter Chelsea Clinton making a surprise announcement, Thursday.

CHELSEA CLINTON: Marc and I are excited that we have our first child arriving later this year.

GOLODRYGA: The 34-year-old and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, who attended Stanford together, married four years ago.

CLINTON: And I certainly feel all the better, whether it's a girl or a boy, that she or he will grow up in a world with so in many strong, young female leaders.

GOLODRYGA: The future grandparents positively elated by the news. The former secretary of state tweeting, "Bill Clinton and I are thrilled that Chelsea and Marc are expecting their first child." And the former president also tweeting, "excited to add a new line to my Twitter bio, grandfather-to-be." It's no secret that the Clintons have been pining for a grandchild. Just last month, Jimmy Kimmel jokingly put the former First Lady on the hot seat.

JIMMY KIMMEL: You and the president will have another child? Anymore children?

HILLARY CLINTON: Well, no. But I wouldn't mind --

KIMMEL: Let's get into it.

HILLARY CLINTON: I wouldn't mind one of those grandchildren that I hear so much about.

GOLODRYGA: And it was three years ago that her father also put on the pressure.

BILL CLINTON: I would like to have a happy wife and she won't be unless she's a grandmother.

GOLODRYGA: For eight years, the world watched Chelsea Clinton grow up in the White House and blossom into a young woman, even amid scandal. And when it comes to bedtime reading, grandpa may have picked out his material.

BILL CLINTON: My daughter, when she was a little girl, loved the Curious George stories. I would always tell her a story every night before she would go to bed.

GOLODRYGA: As for Chelsea, she admits she has got big shoes to fill.

CHELSEA CLINTON: I just hope that I will be as good a mom to my child, and hopefully my children, as my mom was to me.

GOLODRYGA: They really are such a close family. Of course, social media was on fire. Ellen DeGeneres tweeting, "Chelsea Clinton is going to have a baby. No reports if it's a boy or girl. But it just did win a seat in the Illinois general assembly."

GOLODRYGA: Dr. Oz also weighing in. Of course, he's a new grandfather. He says congratulations to Chelsea Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton. If you need advice on grandparenthood, I'm becoming an expert." And some unsolicited advice from me as an only child to another only child, be prepared for many, many, many parental visits.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, after all of the hints, yeah.

ROBERTS: Exactly.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Get a baby. Get a baby. Thanks, Bianna.

You’ll Never Guess Who Sen. John McCain is Hosting in Arizona
April 26, 2014 By Jennifer Burke

Arizona Senator John McCain will host Hillary Clinton, who he describes as ‘his friend,’ at the Sedona Forum in Sedona, Arizona on Saturday, April 26th. The forum actually takes place over a course of three days from April 25th through the 27th. As reported by the Washington Post, McCain released the following statement about Hillary Clinton’s participation. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2014/04/24/john-mccain-to-host-hillary-clinton-in-sedona-ariz/

“From her years of service as first lady, in the U.S. Senate and the State Department, one would be hard-pressed to find a leader with Secretary Clinton’s informed perspective on the many challenges facing America across the globe,” McCain said.

The event as described on the McCain Institute website http://mccaininstitute.org/work/the-sedona-forum
“the annual gathering of national and international thought-leaders, decision-makers, business leaders, philanthropists, activists, and experts to discuss approaches and solutions to real-world problems — all from the starting assumption of character-driven leadership and core democratic values.”

The focus of this year’s forum is “Crisis in the Middle East: Values, Strategy and Options.” Given Clinton’s failure to respond to cries for help from Ambassador Chris Stevens days ahead of the terrorist attack at Benghazi that would take his life and the lives of 3 other Americans, Hillary may seem an interesting choice for such a discussion.

The event is by invitation only and is closed to the press.

The McCain Institute for International Leadership is located at Arizona State University in Tempe.

Other attendees of the forum will include the following:

•U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Ambassador William J. Burns
•U.S. Senators Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Bob Corker (R-TN), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), Angus King (I-Maine), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Jon Kyl (R-AZ, Ret.), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI)
•GE Chairman and CEO and McCain Institute Board Member Jeff Immelt
•Walmart-USA U.S. President and CEO Bill Simon
•Chevron Chairman and CEO John Watson
•Fedex President and CEO Fred Smith
•Hewlett-Packard President and CEO Meg Whitman
•Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada Peter MacKay
•Foreign Minister of Lithuania Linas Linkevicius
•Former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov
•Founder of Education for Employment Ron Bruder
•Former CENTCOM Commander James Mattis
•Renowned U.S. and international policy experts
•Prominent civil society, women’s rights, and democracy activists

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

~~ George Santayana

It may help you to remember this bit of history regarding Hillary Rodham Clinton....

Watergate-era Judiciary chief of staff:

Hillary Clinton fired for lies, unethical behavior

Published by: Dan Calabrese on Wednesday January 23rd, 2013

By DAN CALABRESE - Bet you didn't know this.

I've decided to reprint a piece of work I did nearly five years ago, because it seems very relevant today given Hillary Clinton's performance in the Benghazi hearings. Back in 2008 when she was running for president, I interviewed two erstwhile staff members of the House Judiciary Committee who were involved with the Watergate investigation when Hillary was a low-level staffer there. I interviewed one Democrat staffer and one Republican staffer, and wrote two pieces based on what they told me about Hillary's conduct at the time.

I published these pieces back in 2008 for North Star Writers Group, the syndicate I ran at the time. This was the most widely read piece we ever had at NSWG, but because NSWG never gained the high-profile status of the major syndicates, this piece still didn't reach as many people as I thought it deserved to. Today, given the much broader reach of CainTV and yet another incidence of Hillary's arrogance in dealing with a congressional committee, I think it deserves another airing. For the purposes of simplicity, I've combined the two pieces into one very long one. If you're interested in understanding the true character of Hillary Clinton, it's worth your time to read it.

As Hillary Clinton came under increasing scrutiny for her story about facing sniper fire in Bosnia, one question that arose was whether she has engaged in a pattern of lying.

The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.

Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

Why?

“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

How could a 27-year-old House staff member do all that? She couldn’t do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of several individuals – including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum – who engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation.

Why would they want to do that? Because, according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E. Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president. Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach – including Kennedy’s purported complicity in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro.

The actions of Hillary and her cohorts went directly against the judgment of top Democrats, up to and including then-House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill, that Nixon clearly had the right to counsel. Zeifman says that Hillary, along with Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar, was determined to gain enough votes on the Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. And in order to pull this off, Zeifman says Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents to hide her deception.

The brief involved precedent for representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding. When Hillary endeavored to write a legal brief arguing there is no right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding, Zeifman says, he told Hillary about the case of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, who faced an impeachment attempt in 1970.

“As soon as the impeachment resolutions were introduced by (then-House Minority Leader Gerald) Ford, and they were referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the first thing Douglas did was hire himself a lawyer,” Zeifman said.

The Judiciary Committee allowed Douglas to keep counsel, thus establishing the precedent. Zeifman says he told Hillary that all the documents establishing this fact were in the Judiciary Committee’s public files. So what did Hillary do?

“Hillary then removed all the Douglas files to the offices where she was located, which at that time was secured and inaccessible to the public,” Zeifman said. Hillary then proceeded to write a legal brief arguing there was no precedent for the right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding – as if the Douglas case had never occurred.

The brief was so fraudulent and ridiculous, Zeifman believes Hillary would have been disbarred if she had submitted it to a judge.

Zeifman says that if Hillary, Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar had succeeded, members of the House Judiciary Committee would have also been denied the right to cross-examine witnesses, and denied the opportunity to even participate in the drafting of articles of impeachment against Nixon.

Of course, Nixon’s resignation rendered the entire issue moot, ending Hillary’s career on the Judiciary Committee staff in a most undistinguished manner. Zeifman says he was urged by top committee members to keep a diary of everything that was happening. He did so, and still has the diary if anyone wants to check the veracity of his story. Certainly, he could not have known in 1974 that diary entries about a young lawyer named Hillary Rodham would be of interest to anyone 34 years later.

But they show that the pattern of lies, deceit, fabrications and unethical behavior was established long ago – long before the Bosnia lie, and indeed, even before cattle futures, Travelgate and Whitewater – for the woman who is still asking us to make her president of the United States.

Franklin Polk, who served at the time as chief Republican counsel on the committee, confirmed many of these details in two interviews he granted me this past Friday, although his analysis of events is not always identical to Zeifman’s. Polk specifically confirmed that Hillary wrote the memo in question, and confirmed that Hillary ignored the Douglas case. (He said he couldn’t confirm or dispel the part about Hillary taking the Douglas files.)

To Polk, Hillary’s memo was dishonest in the sense that she tried to pretend the Douglas precedent didn’t exist. But unlike Zeifman, Polk considered the memo dishonest in a way that was more stupid than sinister.

“Hillary should have mentioned that (the Douglas case), and then tried to argue whether that was a change of policy or not instead of just ignoring it and taking the precedent out of the opinion,” Polk said.

Polk recalled that the attempt to deny counsel to Nixon upset a great many members of the committee, including just about all the Republicans, but many Democrats as well.

“The argument sort of broke like a firestorm on the committee, and I remember Congressman Don Edwards was very upset,” Polk said. “He was the chairman of the subcommittee on constitutional rights. But in truth, the impeachment precedents are not clear. Let’s put it this way. In the old days, from the beginning of the country through the 1800s and early 1900s, there were precedents that the target or accused did not have the right to counsel.”

That’s why Polk believes Hillary’s approach in writing the memorandum was foolish. He says she could have argued that the Douglas case was an isolated example, and that other historical precedents could apply.

But Zeifman says the memo and removal of the Douglas files was only part the effort by Hillary, Doar, Nussbaum and Marshall to pursue their own agenda during the investigation.

After my first column, some readers wrote in claiming Zeifman was motivated by jealousy because he was not appointed as the chief counsel in the investigation, with that title going to Doar instead.

Zeifman’s account is that he supported the appointment of Doar because he, Zeifman, a) did not want the public notoriety that would come with such a high-profile role; and b) didn’t have much prosecutorial experience. When he started to have a problem with Doar and his allies was when Zeifman and others, including House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill and Democratic committee member Jack Brooks of Texas, began to perceive Doar’s group as acting outside the directives and knowledge of the committee and its chairman, Peter Rodino.

(O’Neill died in 1994. Brooks is still living and I tried unsuccessfully to reach him. I’d still like to.)

This culminated in a project to research past presidential abuses of power, which committee members felt was crucial in aiding the decisions they would make in deciding how to handle Nixon’s alleged offenses.

According to Zeifman and other documents, Doar directed Hillary to work with a group of Yale law professors on this project. But the report they generated was never given to the committee. Zeifman believes the reason was that the report was little more than a whitewash of the Kennedy years – a part of the Burke Marshall-led agenda of avoiding revelations during the Watergate investigation that would have embarrassed the Kennedys.

The fact that the report was kept under wraps upset Republican committee member Charles Wiggins of California, who wrote a memo to his colleagues on the committee that read in part:

Within the past few days, some disturbing information has come to my attention. It is requested that the facts concerning the matter be investigated and a report be made to the full committee as it concerns us all.

Early last spring when it became obvious that the committee was considering presidential "abuse of power" as a possible ground of impeachment, I raised the question before the full committee that research should be undertaken so as to furnish a standard against which to test the alleged abusive conduct of Richard Nixon.

As I recall, several other members joined with me in this request. I recall as well repeating this request from time to time during the course of our investigation. The staff, as I recall, was noncommittal, but it is certain that no such staff study was made available to the members at any time for their use.

Wiggins believed the report was purposely hidden from committee members. Chairman Rodino denied this, and said the reason Hillary’s report was not given to committee members was that it contained no value. It’s worth noting, of course, that the staff member who made this judgment was John Doar.

In a four-page reply to Wiggins, Rodino wrote in part:

Hillary Rodham of the impeachment inquiry staff coordinated the work. . . . After the staff received the report it was reviewed by Ms. Rodham, briefly by Mr. Labovitz and Mr. Sack, and by Doar. The staff did not think the manuscript was useful in its present form. . . .

In your letter you suggest that members of the staff may have intentionally suppressed the report during the course of its investigation. That was not the case.

As a matter of fact, Mr. Doar was more concerned that any highlight of the project might prejudice the case against President Nixon. The fact is that the staff did not think the material was usable by the committee in its existing form and had not had time to modify it so it would have practical utility for the members of the committee. I was informed and agreed with the judgment.

Mr. Labovitz, by the way, was John Labovitz, another member of the Democratic staff. I spoke with Labovitz this past Friday as well, and he is no fan of Jerry Zeifman.

“If it’s according to Zeifman, it’s inaccurate from my perspective,” Labovitz said. He bases that statement on a recollection that Zeifman did not actually work on the impeachment inquiry staff, although that is contradicted not only by Zeifman but Polk as well.

Labovitz said he has no knowledge of Hillary having taken any files, and defended her no-right-to-counsel memo on the grounds that, if she was assigned to write a memo arguing a point of view, she was merely following orders.

But as both Zeifman and Polk point out, that doesn’t mean ignoring background of which you are aware, or worse, as Zeifman alleges, confiscating documents that disprove your argument.

All told, Polk recalls the actions of Hillary, Doar and Nussbaum as more amateurish than anything else.

“Of course the Republicans went nuts,” Polk said. “But so did some of the Democrats – some of the most liberal Democrats. It was more like these guys – Doar and company – were trying to manage the members of Congress, and it was like, ‘Who’s in charge here?’ If you want to convict a president, you want to give him all the rights possible. If you’re going to give him a trial, for him to say, ‘My rights were denied,’ – it was a stupid effort by people who were just politically tone deaf. So this was a big deal to people in the proceedings on the committee, no question about it. And Jerry Zeifman went nuts, and rightfully so. But my reaction wasn’t so much that it was underhanded as it was just stupid.”

Polk recalls Zeifman sharing with him at the time that he believed Hillary’s primary role was to report back to Burke Marshall any time the investigation was taking a turn that was not to the liking of the Kennedys.

“Jerry used to give the chapter and verse as to how Hillary was the mole into the committee works as to how things were going,” Polk said. “And she’d be feeding information back to Burke Marshall, who, at least according to Jerry, was talking to the Kennedys. And when something was off track in the view of the Kennedys, Burke Marshall would call John Doar or something, and there would be a reconsideration of what they were talking about. Jerry used to tell me that this was Hillary’s primary function.”

Zeifman says he had another staff member get him Hillary’s phone records, which showed that she was calling Burke Marshall at least once a day, and often several times a day.

A final note about all this: I wrote my first column on this subject because, in the aftermath of Hillary being caught in her Bosnia fib, I came in contact with Jerry Zeifman and found his story compelling. Zeifman has been trying to tell his story for many years, and the mainstream media have ignored him. I thought it deserved an airing as a demonstration of how early in her career Hillary began engaging in self-serving, disingenuous conduct.

Disingenuously arguing a position? Vanishing documents? Selling out members of her own party to advance a personal agenda? Classic Hillary. Neither my first column on the subject nor this one were designed to show that Hillary is dishonest. I don’t really think that’s in dispute. Rather, they were designed to show that she has been this way for a very long time – a fact worth considering for anyone contemplating voting for her for president of the United States.

By the way, there’s something else that started a long time ago.

“She would go around saying, ‘I’m dating a person who will some day be president,’” Polk said. “It was like a Babe Ruth call. And because of that comment she made, I watched Bill Clinton’s political efforts as governor of Arkansas, and I never counted him out because she had made that forecast.”

Bill knew what he wanted a long time ago. Clearly, so did Hillary, and her tactics for trying to achieve it were established even in those early days.

Vote wisely.

Hillary’s Crocodile Tears in Connecticut

Jerry Zeifman — February 5, 2008

I have just seen Hillary Clinton and her former Yale law professor both in tears at a campaign rally here in my home state of Connecticut. Her tearful professor said how proud he was that his former student was likely to become our next President. Hillary responded in tears.

My own reaction was of regret that, when I terminated her employment on the Nixon impeachment staff, I had not reported her unethical practices to the appropriate bar associations.

Hillary as I knew her in 1974

At the time of Watergate I had overall supervisory authority over the House Judiciary Committee’s Impeachment Inquiry staff that included Hillary Rodham-who was later to become First Lady in the Clinton White House.

During that period I kept a private diary of the behind the scenes congressional activities. My original tape recordings of the diary and other materials related to the Nixon impeachment provided the basis for my prior book Without Honor and are now available for inspection in the George Washington University Library.

Published in 1996 - Still available from Amazon.com

After President Nixon’s resignation a young lawyer, who shared an office with Hillary, confided in me that he was dismayed by her erroneous legal opinions and efforts to deny Nixon representation by counsel-as well as an unwillingness to investigate Nixon. In my diary of August 12, 1974 I noted the following:

John Labovitz apologized to me for the fact that months ago he and Hillary had lied to me [to conceal rules changes and dilatory tactics.] Labovitz said, “That came from Yale.” I said, “You mean Burke Marshall [Senator Ted Kennedy's chief political strategist, with whom Hillary regularly consulted in violation of House rules.] Labovitz said, “Yes.” His apology was significant to me, not because it was a revelation but because of his contrition.

At that time Hillary Rodham was 27 years old. She had obtained a position on our committee staff through the political patronage of her former Yale law school professor Burke Marshall and Senator Ted Kennedy. Eventually, because of a number of her unethical practices I decided that I could not recommend her for any subsequent position of public or private trust.

Her patron, Burke Marshal, had previously been Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights under Robert Kennedy. During the Kennedy administration Washington insiders jokingly characterized him as the Chief counsel to the Irish Mafia. After becoming a Yale professor he also became Senator Ted Kennedy’s lawyer at the time of Chappaquidick-as well as Kennedy’s chief political
strategist. As a result, some of his colleagues often described him as the Attorney General in waiting of the Camelot government in exile.

In addition to getting Hillary a job on the Nixon impeachment inquiry staff, Kennedy and Marshall had also persuaded Rodino to place two other close friends of Marshall in top positions on our staff. One was John Doar; who had been Marshall’s deputy in the Justice Department-whom Rodino appointed to head the impeachment inquiry staff. The other was Bernard Nussbaum, who had served as Assistant U.S. Attorney in New York-who was placed in charge of conducting the actual investigation of Nixon’s malfeasance.

Marshall, Doar, Nussbaum, and Rodham had two hidden objectives regarding the conduct of the impeachment proceedings. First, in order to enhance the prospect of Senator Kennedy or another liberal Democrat being elected president in 1976 they hoped to keep Nixon in office “twisting in the wind” for as long as possible. This would prevent then-Vice President Jerry Ford from becoming President and restoring moral authority to the Republican Party.

As was later quoted in the biography of Tip O’Neill (by John Farrell), a liberal Democrat would have become a “shoe-in for the presidency in 1976 if Nixon had been kept in office until the end of his term. However, both Tip O’Neill and I-as well as most Democrats-regarded it to be in the national interest to replace Nixon with Ford as soon as possible. As a result, as described by O’Neill, we coordinated our efforts to “keep Rodino’s feet to the fire.”

A second objective of the strategy of delay was to avoid a Senate impeachment trial, in which as a defense Nixon might assert that Kennedy had authorized far worse abuses of power than Nixon’s effort to “cover up” the Watergate burglary (which Nixon had not authorized or known about in advance). In short, the crimes of Kennedy included the use of the Mafia to attempt to assassinate Castro, as well as the successful assassinations of Diem in Vietnam and Lumumba in the Congo.

After hiring Hillary, Doar assigned her to confer with me regarding rules of procedure for the impeachment inquiry. At my first meeting with her I told her that Judiciary Committee Chairman Peter Rodino, House Speaker Carl Albert, Majority Leader Tip O’Neill, Parliamentarian Lou Deschler and I had previously all agreed that we should rely only on the then existing House Rules, and not advocate any changes. I also quoted Tip O’Neill’s statement that: “To try to change the rules now would be politically divisive. It would be like trying to change the traditional rules of baseball before a World Series.”

Hillary assured me that she had not drafted, and would not advocate, any such rules changes. However, as documented in my personal diary, I soon learned that she had lied. She had already drafted changes, and continued to advocate them. In one written legal memorandum, she advocated denying President Nixon representation by counsel. In so doing she simply ignored the fact that in the committee’s then-most-recent prior impeachment proceeding, the committee had afforded the right to counsel to Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas.

I had also informed Hillary that the Douglas impeachment files were available for public inspection in the committee offices. She later removed the Douglas files without my permission and carried them to the offices of the impeachment inquiry staff-where they were no longer accessible to the public.

Hillary had also made other ethically flawed procedural recommendations, arguing that the Judiciary Committee should: not hold any hearings with-or take depositions of-any live witnesses; not conduct any original investigation of Watergate, bribery, tax evasion, or any other possible impeachable offense of President Nixon; and should rely solely on documentary evidence compiled by other committees and by the Justice Department’s special Watergate prosecutor.

Only a few far-left Democrats supported Hillary’s recommendations. A majority of the committee agreed to allow President Nixon to be represented by counsel and to hold hearings with live witnesses. Hillary then advocated that the official rules of the House be amended to deny members of the committee the right to question witnesses. This recommendation was voted down by the full House. The committee also rejected her proposal that we leave the drafting of the articles of impeachment to her and her fellow impeachment-inquiry staffers.

It was not until two months after Nixon’s resignation that I first learned of still another questionable role of Hillary. On Sept. 26, 1974, Rep. Charles Wiggins, a Republican member of the committee, wrote to ask Chairman Rodino to look into “a troubling set of events.” That spring, Wiggins and other committee members had asked “that research should be undertaken so as to furnish a standard against which to test the alleged abusive conduct of Richard Nixon.” And, while “no such staff study was made available to the members at any time for their use,” Wiggins had just learned that such a study had been conducted-at committee expense-by a team of professors who completed and filed their reports with the impeachment-inquiry staff well in advance of our public hearings.

The report was kept secret from members of Congress. But after the impeachment-inquiry staff was disbanded, it was published commercially and sold in book stores. Wiggins wrote: “I am especially troubled by the possibility that information deemed essential by some of the members in their discharge of their responsibilities may have been intentionally suppressed by the staff during the course our investigation.” He was also concerned that staff members may have unlawfully received royalties from the book’s publisher.

On Oct. 3, Rodino wrote back: “Hillary Rodham of the impeachment-inquiry staff coordinated the work. The staff did not think the manuscript was useful in its present form.” No effort was ever made to ascertain whether or not Hillary or any other person on the committee staff received royalties.

Two decades later Bill Clinton became President. As was later to be described in the Wall Street Journal by Henry Ruth, the lead Watergate courtroom prosecutor, “The Clintons corrupted the soul of the Democratic Party.”

1/23/13: There were fireworks on Capitol Hill this morning as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton finally took the stand to testify in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on what happened in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.

Emotions ran far and wide, with Secretary Clinton choking back tears while reading her pre-prepared opening statements:

CLINTON: “ I stood next to President Obama as the Marines carried those flag-draped caskets off the plane at Andrews. I put my arms around the mothers and fathers, the sisters and brothers, the sons and daughters, and the wives left alone to raise their children.”

Her tone took a turn, however, during questioning by Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wi). Sen. Johnson insisted that Americans were “misled” about what occurred leading up to the storming of the U.S. embassy in Benghazi. After a heated back and forth, Clinton lost her cool, shouting:

CLINTON: “With all respect, the fact is we have four dead Americans was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans. What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, senator.”

As of now, it is unclear to what degree Secretary Clinton’s remarks will impact the Benghazi investigation or shed any light on what happened that tragic day, though it's promising that after a long and winding road she was finally able to make herself available to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Media ignore Hillary’s bombshell Benghazi claim

Insists she did not know about gun-running at U.S. mission

1/24/13

by Aaron Klein

Aaron Klein is WND's senior staff reporter and Jerusalem bureau chief. He also hosts "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio" on New York's WABC Radio.

JERUSALEM – During the Senate hearing on Benghazi yesterday, outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed she did not know whether the U.S. special mission attacked on Sept. 11 was involved in gun-running.

The remarks were perhaps the most important and telling of the entire hearing since they address a possible motive behind the jihadist attacks.

Yet Clinton’s answers were largely unreported by U.S. news media.

The exchange on the subject took place with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.

Paul asked Clinton: “Is the U. S. involved with any procuring of weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling, anyhow transferring weapons to Turkey out of Libya?

“To Turkey?” Clinton asked. “I will have to take that question for the record. Nobody has ever raised that with me.”

Continued Paul: “It’s been in news reports that ships have been leaving from Libya and that may have weapons, and what I’d like to know is the annex that was close by, were they involved with procuring, buying, selling, obtaining weapons, and were any of these weapons being transferred to other countries, any countries, Turkey included?”

Clinton replied, “Well, senator, you’ll have to direct that question to the agency that ran the annex. I will see what information is available.”

“You’re saying you don’t know?” asked Paul.

“I do not know,” Clinton said. “I don’t have any information on that.”

That section of the exchange with Paul was almost entirely ignored by media, which instead focused on the Republican senator’s earlier statement that if he were president he would have relieved Clinton of her post.

WND has filed numerous reports quoting Middle East security officials who describe the mission in Benghazi as a meeting place to coordinate aid for the rebel-led insurgencies in the Middle East.

In September, WND also broke the story that the slain U.S. ambassador, Christopher Stevens, played a central role in recruiting jihadists to fight Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria, according to Egyptian security officials.

In November, Middle Eastern security sources further described both the U.S. mission and nearby CIA annex in Benghazi as the main intelligence and planning center for U.S. aid to the rebels that was being coordinated with Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Many rebel fighters are openly members of terrorist organizations, including al-Qaida.

Among the tasks performed inside the building was collaborating with countries, most notably Turkey, on the recruitment of fighters – including jihadists – to target Assad’s regime, the security officials said.

According to the 39-page report released last month by independent investigators probing the attacks at the diplomatic facility, the U.S. mission in Benghazi was set up without the knowledge of the new Libyan government, as WND reported.

“Another key driver behind the weak security platform in Benghazi was the decision to treat Benghazi as a temporary, residential facility, not officially notified to the host government, even though it was also a full-time office facility,” the report states. “This resulted in the Special Mission compound being excepted from office facility standards and accountability under the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (SECCA) and the Overseas Security Policy Board (OSPB).”

The report, based on a probe led by former U.S. diplomat Thomas Pickering, calls the facility a “Special U.S. Mission.”

During the Libyan revolution against Moammar Gadhafi’s regime, the U.S. admitted to directly arming the rebel groups.

At the time, rebel leader Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi acknowledged in an interview that a significant number of the Libyan rebels were al-Qaida fighters, many of whom had fought U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He insisted his fighters “are patriots and good Muslims, not terrorists,” but he added that the “members of al-Qaida are also good Muslims and are fighting against the invader.”

Media cover up?

From the beginning, U.S. media reports on the events in Benghazi have been misleading.

The vast majority of media coverage worldwide refers to the U.S. facility that was attacked as a “consulate,” even though the government itself has been careful to call it a “mission.”

A consulate typically refers to the building that houses a consul, who is the official representative of the government of one state in the territory of another. The U.S. consul in Libya, Jenny Cordell, works out of the embassy in Tripoli.

Consulates at times function as junior embassies, providing services related to visas, passports and citizen information.

On Aug. 26, about two weeks before his was killed, Ambassador Stevens attended a ceremony marking the opening of consular services at the Tripoli embassy.

The main role of a consulate is to foster trade with the host and care for its own citizens who are traveling or living in the host nation.

Diplomatic missions, on the other hand, maintain a more generalized role. A diplomatic mission is simply a group of people from one state or an international inter-governmental organization present in another state to represent matters of the sending state or organization in the receiving state.

However, according to the State Department investigation, the building was a “U.S. Special Mission” set up without the knowledge of the Libyan government.

Withholding, misleading

Two days before the November presidential election, CBS posted additional portions of a Sept. 12 “60 Minutes” interview in which Obama made statements that contradicted his earlier claims about the attack.

In the released portions of the interview, Obama would not say whether he thought the attack was terrorism. Yet he would later emphasize at a presidential debate that in the Rose Garden on the day of the attack, he had declared it an act of terror.

Reuters was also implicated by WND for possibly false reporting.

In the immediate aftermath of the attack, Reuters quoted a purported civilian protester by his first name who described a supposedly popular demonstration against an anti-Muhammad film outside the U.S. building.

Immediately following the attack, President Obama and other White House officials claimed anti-American sentiment fueled by the obscure anti-Muhammad video on YouTube sparked civilian protests outside the U.S. mission that devolved into a jihadist onslaught.

However, vivid accounts provided by the State Department and intelligence officials later made clear no such popular demonstration took place. Instead, video footage from Benghazi reportedly shows an organized group of armed men attacking the compound, officials said.

TRANSCRIPT:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's testimony on Benghazi
Published January 23, 2013
FoxNews.com

WASHINGTON – TRANSCRIPT: The following is testimony as prepared for delivery by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee:

Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member, members of the Committee, thank you for this opportunity.

The terrorist attacks in Benghazi on September 11, 2012 that claimed the lives of four brave Americans -- Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty -- are part of a broader strategic challenge to the United States and our partners in North Africa. Today, I want to offer some context for this challenge and share what we’ve learned, how we are protecting our people, and where we can work together to honor our fallen colleagues and continue to champion America’s interests and values.

Any clear-eyed examination of this matter must begin with this sobering fact: Since 1988, there have been 19 Accountability Review Boards investigating attacks on American diplomats and their facilities. Benghazi joins a long list of tragedies, for our Department and for other agencies: hostages taken in Tehran in 1979, our embassy and Marine barracks bombed in Beirut in 1983, Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996, our embassies in East Africa in 1998, consulate staff murdered in Jeddah in 2004, the Khost attack in 2009, and too many others.

Of course, the list of attacks foiled, crises averted, and lives saved is even longer. We should never forget that our security professionals get it right 99 percent of the time, against difficult odds all over the world. That’s why, like my predecessors, I trust them with my life.

Let’s also remember that administrations of both parties, in partnership with Congress, have made concerted and good faith efforts to learn from the tragedies that have occurred, to implement recommendations from the Review Boards, to seek necessary resources, and to better protect our people from constantly evolving threats. That’s what the men and women who serve our country deserve. And it’s what we are doing again now, with your help. As Secretary, I have had no higher priority, and no greater responsibility.

As I have said many times since September 11, I take responsibility. Nobody is more committed to getting this right. I am determined to leave the State Department and our country safer, stronger, and more secure.

Taking responsibility meant moving quickly in those first uncertain hours and days to respond to the immediate crisis and further protect our people and posts in high-threat areas across the region and the world. It meant launching an independent investigation to determine exactly what happened in Benghazi and to recommend steps for improvement. And it meant intensifying our efforts to combat terrorism and support emerging democracies in North Africa and beyond.

Let me share some of the lessons we have learned, the steps we have taken, and the work we continue to do.

First, let’s start on the night of September 11 itself and those difficult early days. I directed our response from the State Department and stayed in close contact with officials from across our government and the Libyan government. So I saw first-hand what Ambassador Thomas Pickering and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen called “timely” and “exceptional” coordination. No delays in decision-making. No denials of support from Washington or from the military. And I want to echo the Review Board’s praise for the valor and courage of our people on the ground – especially the security professionals in Benghazi and Tripoli. The Board said our response saved American lives in real time – and it did.

The very next morning, I told the American people that “heavily armed militants assaulted our compound” and vowed to bring them to justice. And I stood with President Obama as he spoke of “an act of terror.”

You may recall that in that same period, we also saw violent attacks on our embassies in Cairo, Sanaa, Tunis, and Khartoum, as well as large protests outside many other posts where thousands of our diplomats serve.

So I immediately ordered a review of our security posture around the world, with particular scrutiny for high-threat posts. We asked the Department of Defense to join Interagency Security Assessment Teams and to dispatch hundreds of additional Marine Security Guards. I named the first Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for High Threat Posts, so Missions in dangerous places get the attention they need. And we reached out to Congress to help address physical vulnerabilities, including risks from fire, and to hire additional Diplomatic Security personnel.

Second, even as we took these steps, I also appointed the Accountability Review Board led by Ambassador Pickering and Admiral Mullen so that we could more fully understand what went wrong and how to fix it.

I have accepted every one of their recommendations -- and I asked the Deputy Secretary for Management and Resources to lead a task force to ensure that all 29 of them are implemented quickly and completely… as well as to pursue additional steps above and beyond those in the Board’s report.

Because of the effort we began in the days after the attacks, work is already well underway. And, as I pledged in my letter to you last month, implementation has now begun on all 29 recommendations. Our task force started by translating the recommendations into 64 specific action items. All of these action items were assigned to specific bureaus and offices, with clear timelines for completion. Fully 85 percent are on track to be completed by the end of March, with a number completed already.

We are taking a top-to-bottom look, and rethinking how we make decisions on where, when, and how our people operate in high threat areas, and how we respond to threats and crises.

As part of our effort to go above and beyond the Review Board’s recommendations, we are initiating an annual High Threat Post Review chaired by the Secretary of State, and ongoing reviews by the Deputy Secretaries, to ensure pivotal questions about security reach the highest levels. And we will regularize protocols for sharing information with Congress.

All of these actions are designed to increase the safety of our diplomats and development experts and reduce the chances of another Benghazi happening again.

Now, in addition to the immediate action we took and the Review Board process, we have been moving forward on a third front: addressing the broader strategic challenge in North Africa and the wider region.

Because Benghazi didn’t happen in a vacuum. The Arab revolutions have scrambled power dynamics and shattered security forces across the region. And instability in Mali has created an expanding safe haven for terrorists who look to extend their influence and plot further attacks of the kind we saw just last week in Algeria.

And let me offer my deepest condolences to the families of the Americans and all the people from many nations who were killed and injured in the recent hostage crisis. We remain in close touch with the Government of Algeria and stand ready to provide assistance if needed. We are seeking to gain a fuller understanding of what took place so that we can work together to prevent terrorist attacks like this in the future.

Concerns about terrorism and instability in North Africa are not new. Indeed they have been a top priority for our entire national security team. But after Benghazi, we accelerated a diplomatic campaign to increase pressure on al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and other terrorist groups across the region.

In the first hours and days, I conferred with the President of Libya and the Foreign Ministers of Tunisia and Morocco. Two weeks later, I met with regional leaders at the United Nations General Assembly and held a special meeting focused on Mali and the Sahel. In October, I flew to Algeria to discuss the fight against AQIM. In November, I sent Deputy Secretary Bill Burns to follow up in Algiers. And then in December, he co-chaired the Global Counterterrorism Forum in Abu Dhabi and a meeting in Tunis of leaders working to build new democracies and reform security services.

In all these diplomatic engagements, and in near-constant contacts at every level, we have focused on targeting al Qaeda’s syndicate of terror – closing safe havens, cutting off finances, countering extremist ideology, and slowing the flow of new recruits. We continue to hunt the terrorists responsible for the attacks in Benghazi and are determined to bring them to justice. And we’re also using all our diplomatic and economic tools to support the emerging democracies of the region, including Libya, to strengthen security forces and provide a path away from extremism.

The United States must continue to lead… in the Middle East and all around the globe. We have come a long way in the past four years. We cannot afford to retreat now. When America is absent, especially from unstable environments, there are consequences. Extremism takes root, our interests suffer, and our security at home is threatened.

That’s why Chris Stevens went to Benghazi in the first place. Nobody knew the dangers better than Chris, first during the revolution and then during the transition. A weak Libyan government, marauding militias, even terrorist groups… a bomb exploded in the parking lot of his hotel, but he didn’t waver. Because he understood that it was critical for America to be represented in that pivotal place at that pivotal time.

Our men and women who serve overseas understand that we accept a level of risk to protect this country we love. They represent the best traditions of a bold and generous nation. And they cannot work in bunkers and do their jobs.

It is our responsibility to make sure they have the resources they need to do their jobs and to do everything we can to reduce the risks they face.

For me, this is not just a matter of policy… it’s personal.

I stood next to President Obama as the Marines carried those flag-draped caskets off the plane at Andrews. I put my arms around the mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters.

It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to lead the men and women of the State Department and USAID. Nearly 70,000 serving here in Washington and at more than 275 posts around the world. They get up and go to work every day – often in difficult and dangerous circumstances thousands of miles from home – because they believe the United States is the most extraordinary force for peace and progress the earth has ever known.

And when we suffer tragedies overseas, the number of Americans applying to the Foreign Service actually increases. That tells us everything we need to know about what kind of patriots I’m talking about. They ask what they can do for their country. And America is stronger for it.

Today, after four years in this job, after traveling nearly 1 million miles and visiting 112 countries around the world, my faith in our country and our future is stronger than ever. Every time that blue and white airplane carrying the words “United States of America” touches down in some far-off capital, I feel again the honor it is to represent the world’s indispensible nation. And I am confident that, with your help, we will continue to keep the United States safe, strong, and exceptional.

So I want to thank this committee for your partnership and your support of our diplomats and development experts around the world. You know the importance of the work they do day-in and day-out, and that America’s values and vital national security interests are at stake. It is absolutely critical that we work together to ensure they have the resources and support they need to face increasingly complex threats.

I know that you share our sense of responsibility and urgency. And while we all may not agree on everything, let’s stay focused on what really matters: protecting our people and the country we all love.

Now I am now happy to answer your questions.

Rand Paul Hillary Clinton Benghazi Transcript:
Failure of Leadership – Inexcusable – I Would Have Relieved You of Duty
January 23, 2013
By Maggie (www.maggiesnotebook.com )

As Senator Rand Paul’s questioning of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton begins, she indulgently smiles at him. Those smiles quickly disappear. Senator Rand Paul makes it clear he believes her claimed non-involvement was a failure of leadership, and he says it several times. In the conversation about the Accountability Review Board, note that later in the video Hillary Clinton says the board found the level of accountability was at the “level of Assistant Secretary and below.” In other words, she was found not culpable, even though she claims accountability for the Benghazi terrorist attack on an unprotected consulate. Paul says it is inexcusable that she did not read the cables from Ambassador Stevens asking for increased security. Watch the video, read the transcript below. You’ll find a couple of comments of mine inside brackets [ ]. The most important part of the questioning from Paul, in my opinion, is in green text below.

Hillary Clinton Testifies Before Rand Paul

Begin loose transcript:

Rand Paul: One of the things about the original 9/11 is that no one was fired. We spent trillions of dollars, but there were a lot of human errors, judgement errors and the people who make judgement errors need to be replaced, fired and no longer in a position to make these judgement calls.

So we have a Review Board. The Review Board finds 64 different things we can change. A lot of them are common sense and can be done, but the question is, it’s a failure of leadership that they weren’t done in advance and 4 American lives were lost because of this. I’m glad that you are accepting responsibility. I think that ultimately with you leaving, you accept the culpability for the worst tragedy since 9/11, and I really mean that. Had I been President at the time, and I found that you did not read the cables from Benghazi, you did not read the cables from Ambassador Stevens, I would have relieved you of your post. I think it is inexcusable.

The thing is, that we can understand you are not reading every cable. I can understand that maybe you are not aware of the cable from the Ambassador in Vienna that asks for $100,000 for an electrical charging station. I can understand that maybe you are not aware that your Department spent $100,000 on 3 comedians who went to India on a promotional tour called Make Chi, Not War, but I think you might be able to understand that you should be aware of the $80 million spent on a consulate in Mahshahr al-Sharif [Readers, I'm not certain what this references and am researching - will update if I find the info] that will never be built.

I think it’s inexcusable that you did not know about this and that you did not read these cables. I think by anybody’s estimation, Libya has to be one of the hottest of hot spots around the world. Not to know of the requests for securities, really I think cost these people their lives. Their lives could have been saved had someone been more available, had someone been aware of these things, more on top of the job, and the thing is, I don’t suspect you of bad motives. The Review Board said, well these people weren’t willfully negligent . I don’t think you were willfully…I don’t suspect your motives for wanting to serve your country, but it was a failure of leadership not to be involved. It was a failure of leadership not to know these things, and so I think it is good that you are accepting responsibility, because no one else is. There is a certain amount of culpability to the worst tragedy since 9/11, and I’m glad you are accepting this.

Rand Paul: Now, my question is, is the United States involved with an procuring of weapons, transfer of weapons, buying, selling, anyhow transferring weapons to Turkey out of Libya?

[Clinton is flummoxed]

Hillary Clinton: To Turkey? I will have to take that question for the record. Nobody’s ever raised that with me.

Rand Paul: It’s been in news reports that ships have been leaving from Libya and that they may have weapons, and what I would like to know is, the annex that was close by – were they involved with procuring, buying, selling weapons, and are these weapons being transfered to other countries? Any countries, Turkey included?

Hillary Clinton: Well Senator, you’ll have to direct that question to the agency that ran the Annex. I will see what information is available…

Rand Paul: You’re saying you don’t know?

Hillary Clinton: I do not know. I have no information on that.

With respect to personnel Senator, that’s why we have independent people who review the situation. We did with the Pickering and Mullin ARB [Accountability Review Board] and all four individuals identified in the ARB have been removed from their job. Secondly, they’ve been placed on administrative leave while we step through the personnel process which will determine the next steps. Third, both Ambassador Pickering and Admiral Mullin specifically highlighted the reason why this is complicated because under Federal Statute and Regulation, unsatisfactory leadership is not grounds for finding a breach of duty. The ARB did not find these four individuals breached their duty, so I have submitted legislation to this Committee, to the Congress to fix this problem so that future ARBs will not face this situation.

Jolie Rouge

04-29-2014, 05:33 AM

Rand Paul: Here’s the problem. The review board has all these recommendations, but there is one thing they’ve failed to address, and I think you’ve failed to address, and it sets us up for another tragedy like this. They should have never been sent in there without a Military guard. There should have been an Embassy, like in Baghdad, in a war zone, and it should have been under Military guard, significant Military guard under Defense Department Command. I don’t think this State Department is capable of being in the war zone and protecting these people. I still don’t think that…I think another tragedy could happen in another war zone around the world. Someone needs to make an executive decision. Someone needs to take leadership and with that leadership should be that you shouldn’t send them in with no Marines, you shouldn’t send them in with Marines to guard records, not people, you shouldn’t send them in with the same kind of Ambassador or Embassy staff that you have in Paris. I think that is inexcusable.

Hillary Clinton: Well Senator, the reason I am here today is to answer questions the best I can. I AM the Secretary of State, and the ARB made it very clear that the level of responsibility for the failures that they outlined, sat at the level of Assistant Secretary and below. The Administration has sent officials to the Hill more than 30 times. We have given as much information…we’ve been as transparent as we can. Obviously we will continue to brief you and others to answer any questions you have about going forward. The reason we put into affect an Accountability Review Board, is to take it out of the heat of politics and partisanship and accusation and put it in the hands of people who have no stake in the outcome. The reason I said, make it open, tell the world, is because I believe in transparency. I believe in taking responsibility, and I have done so. I hope we will be able to see a good working relationship between the State Department and the Committee going forward.

Transcript: Sen. Johnson Questions Clinton on Benghazi Attack
WUWM News
Jan 24, 2013

Wednesday morning at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin questioned Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about the attacks that took place on September 11, 2012 at the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya.

Transcript:

Senator Johnson : Thank you Mr. Chairman and Madam Secretary, I’d like to join my colleagues in thanking you for your services sincerely, and also appreciate the fact that you’re here testifying and glad that you’re looking in good health.

Were you fully aware in real time - and again I realize how big your job is and everything is erupting in the Middle East at this time - were you full aware of these 20 incidents that were reported in the ARB in real time?

Secretary Clinton : I was aware of the ones that were brought to my attention. They were part of our ongoing discussion about the deteriorating threat environment in eastern Libya. We certainly were very conscious of them. I was assured by our security professionals that repairs were under way, additional security upgrades had taken place.

Johnson : Thank you. Did you see personally the cable on I believe it was August 12th, specifically asking for reinforcements for the security detail that was going to be evacuating or leaving in August? Did you see that personally?

Clinton : No sir.

Johnson : Okay, when you see the ARB, it strikes me how certain the people were that the attacks started at 9:40 Benghazi time. When was the first time you spoke to, or have you ever spoken to the returnees, the evacuees? Did you personally speak to those folks?

Clinton : I‘ve spoken to one of them, but I waited until after the ARB had done its investigation because I did not want there to be anybody raising any issue that I had spoken to anyone before the ARB conducted its investigation.

Johnson : How many people were evacuated from Libya?

Clinton : Then numbers are a little bit hard to pin down because of our other friends.

Johnson : Approximately?

Clinton : Approximately, 25-30.

Johnson : Did anybody in the State Department talk to those folks very shortly afterwards?

Clinton : There was discussion going on afterwards, but once the investigation started the FBI spoke to them before we spoke to them, and so other than our people in Tripoli, which I think you’re talking about Washington right?

Johnson : The point I’m making is a very simple phone call to these individuals would’ve ascertained immediately that there was no protest prior to this. This attack started at 9:40 p.m. Benghazi time and it was an assault. I appreciate the fact that you called it an assault, but I’m going back to Ambassador Rice five days later going to Sunday shows and what I would say is purposefully misleading the American public. Why wasn’t that known? And again I appreciate the fact that the transparency of this hearing, but why weren’t we transparent to that point in time?

Clinton : Well first of all Senator, I would say that the once the assault happened, and once we got our people rescued and out, our most immediate concern was number one taking care of their injuries. As I said, I still have a DS agent at Walter Reid seriously injured, getting them into Frankfurt, Ramstein to get taken care of, the FBI going over immediately to start talking to them. We did not think it was appropriate for us to talk to them before the FBI conducted their interviews. And we did not, I think this is accurate sir, I certainly did not know of any reports that contradicted the IC talking points at the time that Ambassador Rice went on the TV shows, and you know I just want to say that people have accused Ambassador Rice and the administration of you know misleading Americans. I can say trying to be in the middle of this and understanding what was going on, nothing could be further from the truth. Was information developing? Was the situation fluid? Would we reach conclusions later that weren’t reached initially? And I appreciate the --

Johnson : But Madame Secretary, do you disagree with me that a simple phone call to those evacuees to determine what happened wouldn’t have ascertained immediately that there was no protest? That was a piece of information that could’ve been easily, easily obtained?

Clinton : But Senator again—

Johnson : Within hours, if not days?

Clinton : Senator, you know, when you’re in these positions, the last thing you want to do is interfere with any other process going on, number one—

Johnson : I realize that a good excuse.

Clinton : Well no it’s the fact. Number two, I would recommend highly you read both what the ARB said about it and the classified ARB because even today, there are questions being raised. Now, we have no doubt they were terrorist, they were militants, they attacked us, they killed our people. But what was going on and why they were doing what they were doing is still unknown—

Johnson : No, again, we were misled that there were supposedly protests and that something sprang out of that - an assault sprang out of that - and that was easily ascertained that was not the fact, and the American people could have known that within days and they didn’t know that.

Clinton : With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again Senator. Now honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is that people were trying in real time to get to the best information. The IC has a process I understand going with the other committees to explain how these talking points came out. But you know, to be clear it is from my perspective less important today looking backwards as to why these militants decided they did it than to find them and bring them to justice, and then maybe we’ll figure out what was going on the meantime.

Johnson : Okay, thank you Madame Secretary.

Is Former Harvard Lampoon Writer the Real Author of Hillary's Book?
By P.J. Gladnick | June 2, 2014

9 80 Reddit0 1
A A

Those of you who are already claiming that Hillary Clinton's new book, "Hard Choices," is a joke might be closer to the truth than you think. It turns out that the real author of the book was a former writer for the Harvard Lampoon according to Roger Friedman at Showbiz 411.

One wonders if the same ghost writer came up with the laughable idea of giving the book the same title, "Hard Choices," as another book by another former Secretary of State, Cyrus Vance. Here is Friedman wondering if Hillary Clinton will give credit to her ghost writer:

The world waits for Hillary Clinton’s new book, “Hard Choices,” on June 10th. I know I have it all queued up on amazon.com. But Clinton’s hardest choice may start at home: will she give her ghost writer a credit this time?

I wrote about a year ago that Edward “Ted” Widmer, a long time Hillary associate, was actually writing “Hard Choices.”

Widmer, 51, is a Harvard graduate who wrote for the Harvard Lampoon. He has a long association with Brown University, where he was the Director of the John Carter Brown Library.At least that’s where used to be. Widmer now works out of the president’s office at Brown. After all, his prestige factor has rise considerably.

Writing the Hillary book apparently means navigating your way through the minefields of truth as exemplified by this incident:

Last year I wrote that Widmer has conceded that Clinton–though she hasn’t said so directly– is “incredibly organized and planning her campaign.” He sent me an email later claiming: “I have neither said that or anything like it to anyone, nor is it something I believe.” Well, it’s a year later and Hillary is pretty much the front runner for the Democratic nomination.

Does that denial not sound like something from a hostage tape?

So will Widmer receive credit in Hillary's book? Friedman refers back to a previous book she "wrote" in which the ghost writer received no credit:

But what credit will Widmer get on “Hard Choices”? Clinton caused an uproar with her bestseller, “It Take a Village,” when she denied the ghost writer any identification at all. That book was written by Barbara Feinman, a Georgetown University professor. Feinman was paid $120,000 for seven months’ work. She eventually went public and complained about lack of credit..

So how did it work out? Widmer emailed me this afternoon: “…sorry, I don’t have the answer – I haven’t seen printed version…”

Since Widmer used to write for the Harvard Lampoon, I recommend that he turn his stint as ghost writer for Hillary into a comedy routine.

Hillary Clinton doesn't need a ghost writer because she is as good at writing as Kate Winslet was at reading in "The Reader."

Badda...BING!

Bill Clinton also wanted me to ghost write for him using the same "Hard Choices" title but Hillary objected so we are going to steal Howard Stern's book title, "Private Parts."

Badda...BOOM!

Clinton replied stating the facts surrounding Bowe Bergdahl's capture 'do not matter.'

"we bring our own home"? Bergdog stopped being American when he deserted this country. Funny how "we bring our own home" doesn't apply to the marine held in mexico under bogus charges. But a traitor? Yeah lets get him back here. How about we release the top 5 taliban captives while we do it...

Hillary “Benghazi” Clinton, the 2016 Democrat presidential hopeful is asked by ABC’s Diane Sawyer to identify her major accomplishment, or “marquee achievement,” as Secretary of State.

“People say, ‘Where is the marquee achievement?’ No sweeping agreements, no signature doctrine,’” Sawyer asked.

Hillary, obviously deflecting in pure Clinton form, attempts to swing the conversation towards the accomplishments of presidents, which was not anywhere near the question.

not only being dead broke (my violin strings are broken) she puts some blame on others regarding benghazi......because she is not an expert and she implies that 'they' should have done something....but who is the person who gave the orders but never followed thru? this isn't anywhere near the case if she had made reservations at a restaurant and when she got there to eat they said she never made a reservation. she would have had a choice of waiting or going to another restaurant where the murdered and injured in benghazi had what choice? desert their post? desert their commitment to america? allow others to die?

she's probably happy she wasn't sec of state for the bergdahl story since now it appears that O is now blaming hagel http://lonelyconservative.com/2014/06/obama-now-blaming-hagel-for-berghdal-swap/

Hillary A Diva, Told Secret Service Agent Who Refused To Carry Her Bag To “Get The F*ck Away From Me”…
Posted on 11 June, 2014 by Dylan Smythe

Daily Mail: If Hillary Clinton runs, and wins the Presidential race in 2016, the Republicans won’t be the only ones with agita. The Secret Service, who have tangled with Hillary since she became First Lady in 1993, will also be quaking in their lace-ups. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2653420/Get-f-away-Hillary-Clinton-shouted-minder-refused-carry-bag-She-treated-Secret-Service-like-hired-help-Bill-softie-hard-manage-says-former-agent-bombshell-expose.html

Hillary has been known to hurl a book at the back of the head of one agent driving her in the Presidential limo accusing him of eavesdropping, forget her p’s and q’s by never thanking her protectors and lob profanity-laced orders when she just wanted the agents to carry her bags – a job not on agents’ ‘to do’ list.

‘Stay the f**k away from me! Just f*****g do as I say!!!’ she is quoted as saying to an agent who refused to carry her luggage in the book Unlimited Access by FBI agent Gary Aldridge.

Compared to Hillary’s salty language, Bill Clinton was a gentleman, according to now-retired Secret Service agent, Dan Emmett, who began covering President Clinton on his first day in office in 1993 and writes about guarding the President in a new version of his book Within Arm’s Length, published by St. Martin’s Press.

“We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt,” Clinton said. “We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea’s education. You know, it was not easy.”

Here’s why there won’t be a Hillary Pity Party

Written by Allen West on June 11, 2014

Poor Mrs. Clinton! She feels the suffering of all of us because she and Bill left the White House in debt with hardly a penny to their names! Yeah, riiight.

As Reince Priebus, RNC Chairman said, “Between an $8 million book advance and their family’s six-figure taxpayer-funded salary, it’s astonishing that Bill and Hillary Clinton thought they were broke. With Hillary Clinton bellyaching about her family’s finances, nobody will be attending her Pity Party.”

MSNBC Panel Mocks Hillary Clinton,But the Real Story is the Disturbing ‘Fact’ About Politics
June 11, 2014 By Jennifer Burke

This panel on MSNBC’s Morning Joe had quite a few laughs at Hillary Clinton’s expense. As they addressed the ridiculous claim by Clinton that she and Bill struggled after leaving the White House, going so far as to claim that they were ‘dead broke’ despite the fact that she received an $8 million advance on her book, the panelists mocked her for how ludicrous such a distortion of reality is.

Frank Bruni, from the New York Times, joins in the discussion and, aside from calling Hillary Clinton out for her stretching and changing of the truth, he says something even more curious and disturbing. Bruni says, at approximately the 36 second mark, that “in politics, it almost seems to go with the territory that you’re rich.”

Say what?

That comment made almost as an understood afterthought explains so much of what is wrong with Washington, D.C. and why Americans are struggling to make ends meet to help catapult our elected officials, so called ‘public servants’ to economic prosperity.

‘Please don’t tell me about how poor you are’: Glenn excoriates Hillary Clinton’s latest claims about being ‘dead broke’
Tuesday, Jun 10, 2014 at 11:25 AM CDT

Ahead of the release of her memoir Hard Choices, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton has been making the rounds to discuss some of the more savory aspects of the book including the assertion that her family was “dead broke” when they left the White House in 2000 and why she deferred to “the experts” when it came to the September 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya. On radio this morning, Glenn struggled to reconcile Clinton’s remarks.

“I guess I can handle the Hillary Clinton stuff now – ease myself into it,” Glenn said. “We have to put good food in our body. Hillary Clinton is not good food. You are what you eat. I don’t want to be Hillary Clinton.”

While Clinton has appeared in several interviews on several networks already, they chose to focus on the Diane Sawyer interview that aired Monday night on ABC.

On the issue of Benghazi, Sawyer asked Clinton about the security threat Ambassador Chris Stevens faced. Clinton reiterated that Stevens was at the consulate by “his own choosing,” and refused to classify Benghazi as one of the most dangerous diplomatic posts.

It was important to have diplomatic assets. Were there security threats? Yes, and there are,” Clinton said. “There’s a long list of countries where there are security threats to Americans interests.”

When Sawyer asked if the consulate in Benghazi would be in the top 10 most dangerous, Clinton said “maybe in the top upper 10.”

“It wasn’t the top five, maybe the top upper 10,” Glenn said disgusted. “This person is such a politician, I can’t take it.”

One of the more surprising tidbits to come from Clinton’s book tour is the talking point that she and former President Bill Clinton were somehow “dead broke” upon leaving the White House. Considering, both Clintons command several hundred thousand dollars (minimum) for speaking engagements, and Hillary signed a $8 million book deal upon leaving the White House, her claims are hard to believe. Clinton has, however, doubled down on the claim.

“We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt,” Clinton told Sawyer. “We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea’s education. You know, it was not easy.”

“Is that when she and Bill lived in the cardboard box under the bridge,” Pat quipped.

As she explained, Clinton believes it was better to make money through speaking engagements “than getting connected with any one group or company as so many people who leave public life do.”

“Please don’t tell me about how poor you are,” Glenn said. “’Honey, we’re going to have Hamburger Helper. Of course next week, we’re going to give that million-dollar speech and I guess we have my $8 million book deal. But we’re having Hamburger Helper this week. Nobody knows the trouble we’ve seen.’”

While there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Clintons using their clout to make money via speeches or anything else, it is utterly disingenuous when you consider the ‘income inequality,’ progressive narrative they preach.

“How disingenuous are these people in general? Here are people who come out and tell us all the time about income inequality… and campaign finance laws. We can’t have big money from these corporations influencing these campaigns,” Stu explained. “[Yet] she will sit here for the next year making $200,000 speeches… which she can use, if needed, for her campaign. [The money is] coming directly from corporations… It will go around all the campaign finance laws that they wrote. It will go against all the premises of income and equality they fight for so hard and nobody will say anything. It’s infuriating.”

The silver lining in this otherwise infuriating situation? You many recall Clinton tried – and failed – to run for president just six years ago. “The positive reminder here is, while everyone is telling you this woman is an absolute shoe in into president already, remember the reason she’s not our current president is because she is awful,” Stu concluded. “She blew it last time. She could easily blow it again this time. She’s not likable.”

....and why she deferred to “the experts” when it came to the September 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya...

If she - as Sect of State - felt that she didn't know what to do ... and "deferred to experts" ... then why in the world would we want her in the Oval Office. Face it- the three o'clock call came - Hillary hung up on the caller while BO rolled over and went back to sleep.

,,,

The Clinton's "left the White House" and moved into three separate, multi-million dollar estates (and they have overseas estates as well). While on a visit to the WHouse in 2007, I was admiring an original painting when a staff member told me that it was one of the pieces of art taken by the Clinton's when they departed the WHouse. The donor of the painting (a well-known movie producer) personally went to the Clinton's to "retrieve the painting" and return it to the White House curator. This statement by Ms Clinton is (1) false and (2) underscores why she should NOT be in charge of the Federal Budget.

..

Bill also gets a tax free $200,000.00 a year pension. So while i dont consider $200,000/year rich a $16,000.00/month income is lot deffirent then being broke....

..

As career public "servants" they have pensions from each of their prior jobs, totaling hundreds of thousands per year for the rest of their lives. POTUS and Governor don't exactly pay small potatoes for pensions, and that was before she picked up some pensions of her own for Senator and SecState.

The only reason they could be "broke" would be if they'd incurred debts exceeding their substantial income, which wouldn't be surprising considering how they manage money while in office.

..

Glenn, people have forgotten the deal the Clintons negotiated for their house in Chappaqua, N.Y. The mortgage payment was 10 k / month. They provided office space for the Secret Service detail on the property. They charged the Secret Service rent .... 10 k / month. No former President had ever done this before or since. Watch out for the Obama's .

CNN Admits to Giving Hillary Clinton a ‘Free Ride’
June 14, 2014 By TPNN Staff Writer

As the hosts at CNN speculate on whether or not Hillary Clinton will run for office and when she’ll make that announcement, Chris Cuomo makes an admission about the the ‘Democrat Media Complex’ that many of us have know all along. Rather than report the news, good or bad involving people on both sides of the aisle, they instead act as cheerleaders for the selected Leftist people they want to prop up and protect.

During the discussion about Hillary ‘freezing pockets,’ preventing big donors from donating to anyone else as long as they are not sure if she is going to run, Cuomo makes this stunning admission. While their actions and failure to cover certain news, even huge news like the VA Scandal, Benghazi, among numerous other things, makes their allegiance to the Democrat party obvious, to hear him say it, while laughing about it, is pretty astounding.

So CNN is now openly admitting they are no longer a news organization? The only surprise is that they admitted it.

..

A news organization is supposed to be impartial - just another reason CNN is losing credibility.

..

This is unbelievable! Wait, no it's not! This is CNN, right? They have just admitted they never were a news agency. This extreme bias just proves that that they are socialists and will say and do anything for the liberal democrats!!! It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong or whether or not they really believe in Hillary as a candidate!

Don't hold your breath for the FCC to talk about fairness in the licensing airwaves.

Hillary's Laughing Defense of Child Rapist:
Not a Front-Page WashPost Story Like Romney's Alleged Teen Haircut
By Tim Graham | June 17, 2014 | 09:01

The same Washington Post that suggested it was dramatic front-page news in 2012 that Mitt Romney cut another student’s hair in high school in 1965 didn’t find front-page news in Hillary Clinton laughing about defending a child rapist in the 1970s.

The Post had a front-page story Tuesday on backlogs of rape kits, but the backlog of Hillary’s old tapes on defending a man who raped a 12-year-old girl was consigned to a page 2 column by Melinda Henneberger. The “Hillary Tapes” scoop is the latest from Alana Goodman at the Washington Free Beacon. (Audio below.) The Post liked Richard Nixon’s tapes much more.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2f13f2awK4&feature=player_embedded

Henneberger’s column was titled “Making hay out of Hillary Clinton’s defense of a rape suspect.” The online headline is more specific: “Conservatives are making hay out of Hillary Clinton’s defense of an accused rapist.” When the Post rips into a Republican, it’s not “liberals making hay,” it’s “objective” journalists making history.

But first, here’s what Goodman reported on Hillary representing a 41-year-old rapist as a favor to a prosecutor:

“It was a fascinating case, it was a very interesting case,” Clinton says in the recording. “This guy was accused of raping a 12-year-old. Course he claimed that he didn’t, and all this stuff.”

Describing the events almost a decade after they had occurred, Clinton’s struck a casual and complacent attitude toward her client and the trial for rape of a minor. “I had him take a polygraph, which he passed – which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs,” she added with a laugh.

Clinton can also be heard laughing at several points when discussing the crime lab’s accidental destruction of DNA evidence that tied Taylor to the crime. “We’re hired guns,” Ronald D. Rotunda, a professor of legal ethics at Chapman University, told the Washington Free Beacon. “We don’t have to believe the client is innocent … our job is to represent the client in the best way we can within the bounds of the law.”

However, Rotunda said, for a lawyer to disclose the results of a client’s polygraph and guilt is a potential violation of attorney-client privilege. “You can’t do that,” he said. “Unless the client says: ‘You’re free to tell people that you really think I’m a scumbag, and the only reason I got a lighter sentence is because you’re a really clever lawyer.’”

Underneath the “conservatives making hay” bluster, Henneberger acknowledged this is not a winning issue for a candidate trying to preserve a carefully polished image of a feminist defender of children. Henneberger also saw parallels to the "narcissistic loony toon" remarks Hillary had for a certain White House intern:

Some are writing off the remarks, as one fellow journalist put it on social media, as “typical gonzo defense lawyer talk.”

It is not, however, typical talk for a lifelong defender of women and children.

Nor was Clinton’s defense plan, mapped out in a court affidavit. In it, she questioned the credibility of the victim and suggested that the sixth-grader, who an ER doctor said showed injuries consistent with rape, had “a tendency to seek out older men.”

“I have been informed that the complainant is emotionally unstable,’’ Clinton wrote in the affidavit, “with a tendency to seek out older men and to engage in fantasizing.” The document, filed with the Washington County, Arkansas court on July 28, 1975, argued for a psychiatric evaluation for the victim.

“I have also been informed that she has in the past made false accusations about persons, claiming they had attacked her body,’’ Clinton wrote. “Also that she exhibits an unusual stubbornness and temper when she does not get her way.”

The “little bit nutty, little bit slutty’’ defense has a long, ugly history. It’s jarring to see it trotted out against a kid by a future feminist icon. The argument also bears an uncomfortable similitary to Clinton White House descriptions of Monica Lewinsky, who without that semen stain on her little blue dress would have been dismissed as a stalker who had fantasized that she had a relationship with President Bill Clinton....

In 2008, reporter Glenn Thrush wrote a long piece for Newsday about the case. After midnight on May 10, 1975, Taylor and his 20-year-old cousin visited a home where the 12-year-old victim was having a sleepover, and invited her to come out for a drive. Later, a 15-year-old boy that the victim apparently had a crush on joined them.

According to the Newsday piece, Taylor fed the victim whiskey and Coke, then drove his red Chevy pickup to a “weedy ravine” where the attack occurred. The 15-year-old told authorities that he had sex with the girl, and believed that Taylor had, too. At one point, the victim reportedly yelled, “You all planned this, didn’t you?”

“I never sought out older men,’’ the adult victim told Newsday in 2008. She said she had never before accused anyone of assault. “I was raped,” she told Thrush, in an attack that she felt had contributed to a suicide attempt about a year later and to decades of depression and other problems.

Clinton’s spokesman declined to comment.

Henneberger put her political analyst’s hat on at the end. “Defending even a child rapist as vigorously as possible might be a plus if she were running to lead the American Bar Association. But wouldn’t her apparent willingness to attack a sixth-grader compromise a presidential run?”

She guessed no, since “reaction to the tape has been so partisan.” She cited “shrugs” from the critics of Todd Akin’s garbled “legitimate rape” comments in 2012, versus fury from “many who were silent or untroubled by Akin’s remarks.” In reality, MRC's Brent Bozell said the remarks were "completely inappropriate" -- and then blasted the overwhelming bias that came with them.

It’s funny. The Post seems to offer “shrugs” today aside from this column tucked inside the paper. But back in 2012, in the midst of more than a hundred stories flooding the Akin zone, they put Akin on the front page under the headline “Republicans look to force Akin out of Senate race.”

What the Post never considers is that its own behavior transparently exposes them as standing among the partisans, not away from them.

NBC, CBS and ABC's evening and morning shows devoted an astonishing 88 minutes (or 40 segments) of coverage to Congressman Akin's "legitimate rape" remark in the first three days. Will anyone on TV notice the latest Free Beacon scoop on Hillary?

Clinton Bristled at Benghazi Deception
By Edward Klein - June 22, 2014

Klein explains what happened the night of the Benghazi attack — and Hillary's reaction. In his new book, “Blood Feud,” journalist Edward Klein gets inside the dysfunctional, jealous relationship between Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack and Michelle Obama. Here, he explains what happened the night of the Benghazi attack.

By 10 p.m. on Sept. 11, 2012, when Hillary Clinton received a call from President Obama, she was one of the most thoroughly briefed officials in Washington on the unfolding disaster in Benghazi, Libya.

She knew that Ambassador Christopher Stevens and a communications operator were dead, and that the attackers had launched a well-coordinated mortar assault on the CIA annex, which would cost the lives of two more Americans.

She had no doubt that a terrorist attack had been launched against America on the anniversary of 9/11. However, when Hillary picked up the phone and heard Obama’s voice, she learned the president had other ideas in mind. With less than two months before Election Day, he was still boasting that he had al Qaeda on the run.

If the truth about Benghazi became known, it would blow that argument out of the water.

“Hillary was stunned when she heard the president talk about the Benghazi attack,” one of her top legal advisers said in an interview. “Obama wanted her to say that the attack had been a spontaneous demonstration triggered by an obscure video on the Internet that demeaned the Prophet Mohammed.

This adviser continued: “Hillary told Obama, ‘Mr. President, that story isn’t credible. Among other things, it ignores the fact that the attack occurred on 9/11.’ But the president was adamant. He said, ‘Hillary, I need you to put out a State Department release as soon as possible.’”

After her conversation with the president, Hillary called Bill Clinton, who was at his penthouse apartment in the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, and told him what Obama wanted her to do.

“I’m sick about it,” she said, according to the legal adviser, who was filled in on the conversation.

“That story won’t hold up,” Bill said. “I know,” Hillary said. “I told the president that.” “It’s an impossible story,” Bill said. “I can’t believe the president is claiming it wasn’t terrorism. Then again, maybe I can. It looks like Obama isn’t going to allow anyone to say that terrorism has occurred on his watch.”

Hillary’s legal adviser provided further detail: “During their phone call, Bill started playing with various doomsday scenarios, up to and including the idea that Hillary consider resigning as secretary of state over the issue. But both he and Hillary quickly agreed that resigning wasn’t a realistic option.

If her resignation hurt Obama’s chances of winning re-election, her fellow Democrats would never forgive her. Hillary was already thinking of running for president in 2016, and her political future, as well as Obama’s, hung in the balance.”

Modal Trigger

Obama had put Hillary in a corner, and she and Bill didn’t see a way out. And so, shortly after 10 o’clock on the night of September 11, she released an official statement that blamed the Benghazi attack on an “inflammatory (video) posted on the Internet.”

The Benghazi Deception was in full swing.

“Blood Feud: The Clintons vs. the Obamas” by Edward Klein is out this week from Regnery Publishing.

Hillary Clinton: Deport The Illegal Children Back To Central America
Probable Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton broke with President Obama on a key policy issue Tuesday...

Probable Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton broke with President Obama on a key policy issue Tuesday, claiming the unprecedented number of illegal children flooding into the United States must be deported and returned to their families in Central America.

For years, parents in crime-ridden Central American nations have been sending their children up through Mexico alone to cross the American border.

Driven in part by rhetoric emanating from the White House, these parents believe their children will be safe in the United States and won’t be turned away.

But thousands of these young people — many mere toddlers — die while trekking through Central America and Mexico on their own.

The flood recently became too much for the White House to hide, spilling into warehouses run by the Border Patrol, the Department of Homeland Security and a partnership of other public and private agencies. And the deluge shows no signs of abating.

President Obama and Vice President Biden have both shied away from solutions to the problem. But in a CNN town hall broadcast on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton diverged significantly from her former boss.

“Hard choice,” asked CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. “Let them stay in the United States or send them back?”

“Well, two quick points,” the former secretary of state replied. “One, the numbers are increasing dramatically. And the main reason I believe why that’s happening is that the violence in certain of those Central American countries is increasing dramatically.”

“Should they be able to stay here?” Amanpour pressed. “It’s safer.”

“Well, it — it may be safer, but that’s not the answer,” Clinton responded.

Clinton inadvertently admits she may have violated law over Benghazi
Written by Allen West on June 23, 2014

I’ve publicly stated I do not believe Hillary Clinton will be running for president in 2016. Her recent performance during the book rollout evidenced someone incapable of standing up to scrutiny. She certainly didn’t comport herself in a professional manner. http://allenbwest.com/2014/06/hillary-asked-sign-book-ambassador-stevens-video/

And so this recent Wall Street Journal article by Victoria Toensing http://online.wsj.com/articles/victoria-toensing-doesnt-hillary-clinton-know-the-law-1403047339 builds that case even more, writing, “In her recent interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer, Hillary Clinton said “I was not making security decisions” about Benghazi, claiming “it would be a mistake” for “a secretary of state” to “go through all 270 posts” and “decide what should be done.” And at a January 2013 Senate hearing, Mrs. Clinton said that security requests “did not come to me. I did not approve them. I did not deny them.”

Well, it seems the former Secretary of State may have just admitted she either didn’t follow, or intentionally broke the law — but then again, if you’re a liberal progressive socialist, laws are just recommendations.

As Toensing says, by statute, Clinton was required to make specific security decisions for defenseless consulates like Benghazi, and was not permitted to delegate them to anyone else. The Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999, or Secca, was passed in response to the near-simultaneous bombings of U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Aug. 7, 1998.”

The similarities of history are disturbingly coincidental.

In 1999, Bill Clinton was president. Patrick Kennedy, now the undersecretary of state for management, was then acting assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security. Susan Rice, now the national security adviser, was then assistant secretary of state for African affairs. As with the Benghazi terrorist attacks, an Accountability Review Board (ARB) was convened for each bombing.

Their reports in January 1999 called attention to “two interconnected issues: 1) the inadequacy of resources to provide security against terrorist attacks, and 2) the relative low priority accorded security concerns throughout the U.S. government.”

Just as U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens did in 2012, the U.S. ambassador to Kenya, Prudence Bushnell, had made repeated requests for security upgrades in 1997 and 1998. All were denied.

It’s not certain whether George Santayana said, “those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”, but we know for certain Hillary said, “what difference at this point does it make?”

In 1998 to ensure accountability in the future, the review boards (ARB) recommended “[f]irst and foremost, the Secretary . . . should take a personal and active role in carrying out the responsibility of ensuring the security of U.S. diplomatic personnel abroad” and “should personally review the security situation of embassy chanceries and other official premises.” And for new embassy buildings abroad, “all U.S. government agencies, with rare exceptions, should be located in the same compound.”

So Congress quickly agreed and passed Secca, a law implementing these (and other) recommendations. It mandated that the secretary of state make a personal security waiver under two circumstances: when the facility could not house all the personnel in one place and when there was not a 100-foot setback. The law also required that the secretary “may not delegate” the waiver decision.

What difference does it make? Well, Benghazi didn’t house all U.S. personnel in one building. There was the consulate and an annex, one of the two situations requiring a security waiver by the secretary of state, which could not be delegated.

However, here is the doozy: the “home cooking of the books.” Recognizing that the Benghazi consulate (like the Nairobi and Dar es Salaam embassies) was a previously nongovernmental building, the 2012 Benghazi review board — co-chaired by Amb. Thomas Pickering (Ms. Rice’s supervisor in 1998) and Adm. Michael Mullen — reported that this “resulted in the Special Mission compound being excepted from office facility standards and accountability under” Secca.

I don’t smell a rat. I smell a Clinton — but then again they may be synonymous.

Mrs. Clinton either personally waived these security provisions required by law or she violated the law by delegating the waiver to someone else — take your pick, they both suck!

Hillary asked to sign her book to Ambassador Stevens [VIDEO]
Written by Michele Hickford, Editor-in-Chief on June 19, 2014

http://launch.newsinc.com/share.html?trackingGroup=91854&siteSection=allenwest&videoId=26282924

Book tours can be stressful things, as Hillary Clinton is finding out.

Daily Surge publisher and fellow Liberty Alliance member Jason Mattera caught up with Hillary at one of the stops on her book tour this week, and asked the former Secretary of State if she would mind signing a copy of her book Hard Choices — to Christopher Stevens. Mattera said, “I think you knew him.”

Ambassador Christopher Stevens was of course murdered along with three other Americans in Benghazi during the attack on September 11, 2012.

When Hillary made the hard choice to say no, “I’m not gonna do that,” Mattera followed up with “What difference does it make?”

Mattera couldn’t help pointing out that Hillary’s security detail appeared to be larger than what Ambassador Stevens was provided in Benghazi. Clinton’s entourage filled up a town car, two SUVs, and consisted of security personnel from the building she had just exited.

And as a woman, I would have also asked her, what’s up with those terrible black shoes?

Written by Allen West on June 11, 2014

Poor Mrs. Clinton! She feels the suffering of all of us because she and Bill left the White House in debt with hardly a penny to their names! Yeah, riiight.

As Reince Priebus, RNC Chairman said, “Between an $8 million book advance and their family’s six-figure taxpayer-funded salary, it’s astonishing that Bill and Hillary Clinton thought they were broke. With Hillary Clinton bellyaching about her family’s finances, nobody will be attending her Pity Party.”

There's nothing particularly unusual about Hillary Rodham Clinton's $225,000 fee for her upcoming speech at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. In March, the University of California at Los Angeles paid $300,000 for a similar event with Mrs. Clinton, according to The Wall Street Journal.

You’re Not Going to Believe Why Jenny McCarthy Says Bill Clinton Cheats
July 22, 2014 By Jennifer Burke

http://www.tpnn.com/2014/07/22/video-youre-not-going-to-believe-why-jennie-mccarthy-says-bill-clinton-cheats/
The View’s Jenny McCarthy may be on her way out after it was announced that her contract was not being renewed, but that doesn’t mean that she is shying away from saying eyebrow raising things. During a discussion of the new book called “The First Family Details: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents,” the women on The View, joined by Orange is the New Black actor Jason Biggs, discuss the possible secret lives led by Bill and Hillary Clinton.

According to Whoopi Goldberg, the book claims that Bill Clinton has a mistress who visits the house so often when Hillary is out of town that Secret Service agents have nicknamed her the ‘Energizer ‘. Even without reading the book, you can insert all kind of words related to possible sexcapades. After all, Slick Willy has earned a reputation of sorts throughout the years as a philanderer and accused serial rapist, even being impeached for lies to cover-up his extramarital affair with a young, impressionable White House intern while he was president.

Fellow host Sherri Shepard defended Bill as appearing to be quite in love with his wife every time she sees pictures of them together. However, Jenny McCarthy offered a different view saying, “Well, maybe he has girlfriends and she has girlfriends.”

Gasp! A Left-leaning woman of The View insinuating that Hillary Clinton is actually a lesbian? Let’s see if McCarthy is allowed to finish out her short remaining time on The View or if she is mysteriously missing tomorrow morning.

The Fact of the Matter is,,
Chelsea was raised in a 2 parent household. Did Bill and Hillary have marital problems,, I can guarantee they did.
But Bill and Hillary, while they may have slept in Different Rooms, still slept under the same roof.
When Chelsea was sick or scared, all she had to do was call out or walk down the hall to either room. Mom & Dad were there for her.
You've got to Respect both Bill and Hillary for hanging in and staying married.
Out everything that Hillary Clinton has done, out of every position she has held and in Building the Clinton Foundation, I Respect Hillary Clinton Most for sticking with Bill while their daughter was growing up.
Not many women could do that.
Not many men could get away with what Bill has gotten away with.
Do they love each other?
I think they really do love each other..
Do they have a Out Side Of The Box Relationship?
Sure they do and it works for them.
If Hillary has a few women on the side or if she's madly in love with some lucky women, that's HER BUSINESS.
If Bill has a mistress and Hillary doesn't have a problem with it.. Who are we to judge?
Now, with that said....
I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton for President with Joe Biden's vote...
I don't care for her leadership and her contempt for the common citizen..

,,,

Hillary Clinton is a national joke, truth be told. Staying with her serial, philandering husband is nothing to be proud of or respected. She sold her soul long ago for power & money, and her dignity as well.

///

The Clintons stay together out of expediency. Chelsea was no more than a prop to their political theater. I am sure that Chelsea has learned well and is every bit as cynical and manipulative as Mom and Dad. Easy to raise a child with servants and of course Chelsea felt secure - first because of Arknsas State Troopers and later the Secret Service.

The View Crew: Stop Trying to Shame Hillary with Bill's Mistresses!
By Geoffrey Dickens | July 22, 2014

The women of The View are sick and tired of people using Bill Clinton’s mistresses to get in the way of Hillary Clinton’s presidential ambitions. At the top of Tuesday’s show Whoopi Goldberg introduced the topic:
“You know, there’s a new book called The First Family Details: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents. And it claims that Bill Clinton has a mistress that visits the house so often that when Hillary is out of town, they see her and they have nicknamed her The Energizer.”

Guest host and former CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin led the charge against the rumors as she huffed:
“You know I’m so tired of hearing about Bill Clinton’s sort of extracurricular activities. Because the bottom line is this is to shame Hillary. Right?”

Sherri Shepherd didn’t care either:
“I always see former President William F. Clinton, he always seems to be so in love with his wife.”

As for Jenny McCarthy and guest host and star of American Pie Jason Biggs? Well they had more salacious takes on the whole affair: (video http://www.mrctv.org/videos/view-crew-stop-trying-shame-hillary-bills-mistresses
http://www.mrctv.org/videos/view-crew-stop-trying-shame-hillary-bills-mistresses)

Jenny McCarthy speculated: “Well maybe he has his girlfriends and she has her girlfriends, you never know. Maybe they have an arrangement.” Biggs’s observation didn’t even get past the censors as he wondered: “You know when I think energizer, 'I think keeps going, and going and going,' but maybe this energizer just keeps [censored].”

The following is the relevant transcript as it was aired on the July 22 edition of ABC’s The View:

WHOOPI GOLDBERG: You know, there’s a new book called The First Family Details: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of Presidents. And it claims that Bill Clinton has a mistress that visits the house so often that when Hillary is out of town, they see her and they have nicknamed her The Energizer. Now, this is apparently some a new book.

SHERRI SHEPHERD: Now this is the same - this person who wrote this book is the same person that broke it -- remember when those Secret Service Obama’s Secret Service hired prostitutes? This is the same guy that broke that story.

SUNNY HOSTIN, GUEST HOST: You know I’m so tired of hearing about Bill Clinton’s sort of extracurricular activities. Because the bottom line is this is to shame Hillary. Right?

SHEPHERD: Because she may be running for president.

HOSTIN: Because she may be running for president. And I think we should stop doing that. Why are we shaming women for the actions of their husbands?

SHEPHERD: But if it’s true?

HOSTIN: And it’s their private affair. I mean isn’t it? If she, if they have whatever agreement they have or if she knows about this or if she doesn’t know about this why is there a book about it?

SHEPHERD: I don’t know if it’s a private affair, if all the Secret Service got a nickname for your-

JENNY MCCARTHY: I’m sorry, my dog walker has a confidentiality agreement. The fact that these Secret Service-

SHEPHERD: It’s not the Secret Service. He, you know, I don’t know-

MCCARTHY: People are talking. It’s like I don’t get that!

HOSTIN: Do you think it’s appropriate for them to, for people to be writing?

MCCARTHY: No!

HOSTIN: For somebody to write a book about it?

SHEPHERD: First of all, do you believe it? Because he may, I mean?

[crosstalk]

GOLDBERG: Here’s the question. Does it matter? Does it matter if you believe it? It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not, because it’s been put out into the ether. Once you put it out there it’s out there...But, you know, you put something out there and it doesn’t even, you can’t un-ring it.

SHEPHERD: I always see former President William F. Clinton, he always seems to be so in love with his wife. And they’ve weathered so many storms together. So-

MCCARTHY: Well maybe he has his girlfriends and she has her girlfriends, you never know. Maybe they have an arrangement.

SHEPHERD: Now you putting stuff out there. Now you putting stuff out there.

JASON BIGGS, ACTOR: You know when I think energizer, I think “keeps going, and going and going,” but maybe this energizer just keeps [censored].

MCCARTHY: I think this woman has a red beret if you ask me.

GOLDBERG: I just, you know I feel bad for her. You know? I feel bad for her because you’re basically trying to make somebody feel bad.

MCCARTHY: They’re trying to shame her!

GOLDBERG: If you didn’t know, they want you to know that they know. But, you know what? No matter what you do, you can’t get between them. They are husband and wife. They have been married. And as you said, Sherri, they have weathered a whole bunch of stuff.

MCCARTHY: She’s standing by her man.

GOLDBERG: And, you know what? She may have really good reason to stand by her and he by her as well.

HOSTIN: And she’s done incredible work. She’s done incredible public service. And shouldn’t we talk about that as opposed to this?

GOLDBERG: And if she runs? Deal with it from that. Because you’re not running against Bill, honey. If she runs you gonna have to beat her on her own terms! Leave Bill out of it! Don’t nobody care!

SHEPHERD: What they’re pulling out now that people are thinking Hillary may run.

GOLDBERG: Well soon they’ll find out that Bill and Hillary and I have a threesome and a child! You know? That’s the next thing.

Poor ‘Dead Broke’ Hillary’s Three-Week Rental Will Cost Twice Avg. Americans’ Annual Income
August 7, 2014

“Poor” Hillary Clinton claims to always be looking out for the “little guy,” while racking in millions. The Democrat presidential hopeful attested to be “dead broke,” a claim widely disputed, after the former First Lady left the White House in 2000.

While pushing the Marxist meme of “income inequality,” Ms. Clinton and her serial woman abusing husband will be renting a house in the Hamptons, an $18 million property, that will cost roughly double the national median household income of $51,000 per year.

http://www.tpnn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Clintons-Summer-Home.jpg

The UK Daily Mail reports that the Clintons will be “slumming it,” paying a mere $100,000 to stay in the Amagansett, NY mansion. Looks like those $225,000 speeches that Hillary is giving, including at college campuses where students have seen a massive increase in tuition, is paying off http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2717957/The-Clintons-slumming-Power-couple-downsize-summer-home-pay-100-00-18m-Hamptons-property-dead-broke-gaffe.html

Isn’t it sad that the hypocrisy from Marxist loving Leftists who rail against ‘the rich’ and ‘income inequality’ is almost to be expected?

While Trying to Talk Up Hillary’s Accomplishments in Healthcare, Dem Senator Unwittingly Bashes Her

By Caroline Schaeffer 12 hours ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTGChcef1uc&feature=player_embedded

Hillary Clinton is in Iowa this week, hinting her way through several speeches regarding her presidential ambitions. The announced reason for her visit is retiring Senator Tom Harkin’s annual Steak Fry, but anyone could tell you that a visit to such a political hotbed doesn’t come without ramifications.

But Harkin may have put his foot in his mouth concerning what he said when introducing the former Secretary of State, announcing that Clinton was instrumental in leading the country towards the belief that health care was a “right” and not a privilege in America.

Harkin was so gracious in his healthcare-related compliments that he perhaps went a bit too far in his praise, telling the crowd that though Hillary was not there when Obamacare was signed into law, her “fingerprints were all over that legislation.”

Perhaps he’s not seen the ACA’s approval rating recently, or noticed how far other politicians have run from the government program.

Or maybe it was no mistake after all? Earlier, he told ABC News that he still has “real questions” about where Hillary stands on many issues.

Subliminal messaging on TV this fall?

Written by Allen West on September 19, 2014

We always look forward to the new fall season TV shows and returning ones. I have to wonder if the hit show “Blacklist” will use my image again this season — and I don’t consider it racist to be on The Blacklist. http://www.thewire.com/politics/2014/02/nbcs-blacklist-kind-insulted-ted-cruz-and-allen-west/358491/ I must admit the only new show that has piqued my interest is Fox’s “Gotham” — Batman is my favorite. However could be some subliminal messaging from two other networks is at work in this new season.

http://34stby2ora6b105yxl1yqt7219yg.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/madamsecretarycbs-300x180.jpg

Consider the new show on the Constant Barack Station (CBS) called “Madam Secretary” featuring Tea Leoni — I remember her from a Jurassic Park movie — as the U.S. Secretary of State. Could CBS be trying to keep a certain female in our conscious memory — and y’all know it ain’t Condi Rice. Well, no worries, I’m quite sure CBS President David Rhodes — whose young brother Ben is the Deputy National Security Advisor in the Obama White House — isn’t politically motivated.

I’ll be looking for that episode about Americans being attacked at an embassy and Tea Leoni’s character fast ropes in from a helicopter M4 blazing commanding a Special Ops detachment and rescuing the Ambassador. And when the frightened terrified Ambassador tells Madam Secretary she has been hit she grittily replies, “what difference at this point does it make?”

But not to be outdone, the National Barack Station (NBC) also has a new show featuring Kathleen Heigl as the CIA Director — wonder if she’ll have a prayer rug? And who plays the president? Well, Alfre Woodard, TV’s first black female president. We already had the first black TV president in Dennis Haysbert of Allstate fame. And we even had Jamie Foxx play president — they all can be scripted better than the current president who’s doing a really bad acting job.

So I figure NBC will have President Alfre Woodard work with CIA Director Heigl to arm some Islamist rebels to take down a domestic conservative insurgency and save western civilization. Yep that’s the ticket!

What shows are you looking forward to this Fall? Needless to say thanks to Obama, we’re treated to reruns of “As the World Burns” and “The Twilight Zone” — and forced to binge-watch them both.

Hillary Clinton: Corporations and Businesses Don’t Create Jobs
“Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.”
At a Democratic rally in Massachusetts, Hillary Clinton’s attempt to attack “trickle-down economics,” resulted in a spectacularly odd statement.

Clinton defended raising the minimum wage saying “Don’t let anybody tell you that raising the minimum wage will kill jobs, they always say that.”

She went on to state that businesses and corporations are not the job creators of America. “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs,” the former Secretary of State said.

Clinton’s comment will likely be used frequently to attack her as another big-government Democrat. She is seen by many as already running for president in 2016.

My comment: could she think that only government creates jobs? there are many government employees who are sent home because of something they did or did not do at work but still collect salary and benefits at a very high price to taxpayers...so i would assume if all these employees ere not doing their jobs, then does the government hire others to do their work?

Bah Humbug: Sears & KMart is closing 77 more stores
By Chris Isidore @CNNMoney October 23, 2014

Sears is closing 77 Sears and Kmart stores and cutting 5,300 jobs. And that's not even the worst news.

The fact that most of these stores will close before Christmas is akin to raising a white flag, since holiday sales are the lynchpin for any retailer's entire year. "They're not giving anybody confidence that they're going to be around long-term," said Allan Ellinger is senior managing partner at MMG Advisors, an investment bank that specializes in fashion and retailing. "It's sad, these were once among the industry's leading brands."

Even the stores that won't close until after the holidays are already holding going out of business sales rather than gearing up for seasonal promotions.

Fitch recently downgraded Sears Holdings to just above default status, suggesting the company may not have cash to continue beyond 2016. Standard & Poor's may do the same. S&P analyst Toby Crabtree said the company's cash crunch is worse than he had anticipated, and that it's closing more stores than he had expected it to before the end of the year.

The store closing list was first compiled by the web site Seeking Alpha, and confirmed by local news reports in the affected communities. A Sears spokesman declined to comment on the list except to say that the company has notified store employees.

"We stated in our second quarter earnings that we would be closing unprofitable stores as leases expire and in some cases will accelerate closings when it is economically prudent," said spokesman Howard Riefs. "If a store is not generating a profit, it is straightforward that the store should be considered for closure."

Forty six Kmart stores will close while the Sears brand will shutter 31 locations, including those that have both a Sears store and Sears auto.
Sears has already shut down 21 locations and Kmart shuttered 74 locations earlier in 2014. The company reported that it had nearly 1,900 U.S. stores between the two brands as of the end of August, down 166 from a year earlier.

Hillary’s unbelievable quote blows up Twitter:
‘Most cringetastic HRC quote in some time’
November 22, 2014 by Michelle Kirk

It would be hard to choose just one quote as the stupidest thing Hillary Clinton ever said, but this one is definitely cringeworthy.

In fact, if she were a Republican, the Internet would have blown up bigger than Kim Kardashian’s butt.

Speaking at a dinner at the New York Historical Society Friday night, Clinton embellished the Democrat talking points on Obama’s executive amnesty as only she can.

Alex Seitz-Wald ✔ @aseitzwald

Hillary Clinton now on immigration order:
"This is about people's lives, people, I would venture to guess, who served us tonight."

It’s baffling , but it would seem that demeaning immigrants by calling them fruit pickers and bedmakers – or in Hillary’s case, people who serve us dinner – is part of the strategy. As one tweeter put it,

” It’s adorable when Democrats are racist.”

Others brought the snark in spades. Here’s just a small sample:

Alex Seitz-Wald ✔ @aseitzwald

First they picked our fruit, then they served it to us. Next they'll make our beds and sweep the floors."

Glenn Greenwald has revealed that Hillary Clinton is the presidential candidate (http://firstlook.org/theintercept/2014/11/14/despite-cynicism-genuine-excitement-hillary-clinton-candidacy/) of the banksters and warmongers.

Pam and Russ Martens note that Elizabeth Warren is the populist alternative (http://wallstreetonparade.com/2014/10/hillary-clintons-continuity-government-versus-elizabeth-warrens-voice-for-change/). I doubt that a politician who represents the people can acquire the campaign funds needed to run a campaign. If Warren becomes a threat, the Establishment will frame her with bogus charges and move her aside.

Hillary as president would mean war with Russia. With neocon nazis such as Robert Kagan and Max Boot running her war policy and with Hillary’s comparison of Russia’s president Putin to Adolf Hitler, war would be a certainty. As Michel Chossudovsky and Noam Chomsky have written, the war would be nuclear.

If Hillary is elected president, the financial gangsters and profiteering war criminals would complete their takeover of the country. It would be forever or until armageddon.

To understand what we would be getting with Hillary, recall the Clinton presidency. The Clinton presidency was transformative in ways not generally recognized. Clinton destroyed the Democratic Party with “free trade” agreements, deregulated the financial system, launched Washington’s ongoing policy of “regime change” with illegal military attacks on Yugoslavia and Iraq, and his regime used deadly force without cause against American civilians and covered up the murders with fake investigations. These were four big changes that set the country on its downward spiral into a militarized police state with massive income and wealth inequality.

One can understand why Republicans wanted the North American Free Trade Agreement, but it was Bill Clinton who signed it into law. “Free trade” agreements are devices used by US corporations to offshore their production of goods and services sold in American markets. By moving production abroad, labor cost savings increase corporate profits and share prices, bringing capital gains to shareholders and multi-million dollar performance bonuses to executives. The rewards to capital are large, but the rewards come at the expense of US manufacturing workers and the tax base of cities and states.

When plants are closed and the work shipped overseas, middle class jobs disappear. Industrial and manufacturing unions are eviscerated, destroying the labor unions that financed the Democrats’ election campaigns. The countervailing power of labor against capital was lost, and Democrats had to turn to the same sources of funding as Republicans. The result is a one party state.

The weakened tax base of cities and states has made it possible for Republicans to attack the public sector unions. Today the Democratic Party no longer exists as a political party financed by the union dues of ordinary people. Today both political parties represent the interests of the same powerful interest groups: the financial sector, the military/security complex, the Israel Lobby, the extractive industries, and agribusiness.

Neither party represents voters. Thus, the people are loaded up with the costs of financial bailouts and wars, while the extractive industries and Monsanto destroy the environment and degrade the food supply. Elections no longer deal with real issues such as the loss of constitutional protections and a government accountable to law. Instead the parties compete on issues such as homosexual marriage and federal funding of abortion.

Clinton’s repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act was the initiating move followed by the removal of more constraints that allowed the financial system to transform itself into a gambling casino where bets are covered by the public and the Federal Reserve. The full consequences of this remain to be seen.

The Clinton regime’s attack on the Serbs was a war crime under international law, but it was the Yugoslavian president who tried to defend his country who was put on trial as a war criminal. When the Clinton regime murdered Randy Weaver’s family at Ruby Ridge and 76 people at Waco, subjecting the few survivors to a show trial, the regime’s crimes against humanity went unpunished. Thus did Clinton set the precedents for 14 years of Bush/Obama crimes against humanity in seven countries. Millions of people have been killed, maimed, and displaced, and it is all acceptable.

It is easy enough for a government to stir up its population against foreigners as the successes of Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama demonstrate. But the Clinton regime managed to stir up Americans against their fellows as well. When the FBI gratuitously murdered Randy Weaver’s wife and young son, propagandistic denunciations of Randy Weaver took the place of accountability. When the FBI attacked the Branch Davidians, a religious movement that split from the Seventh-day Adventist Church, with tanks and poison gas, causing a fire that burned 76 people, mainly women and children, to death, the mass murder was justified by the Clinton regime with wild and unsubstantiated charges against the government’s murdered victims.

All efforts to bring accountability to the crimes were blocked. These were the precedents for the executive branch’s successful drive to secure immunity from law. This immunity has now spread to local police who routinely abuse and murder US citizens on their streets and in their homes.

Washington’s international lawlessness about which the Russian and Chinese governments increasingly complain originated with the Clinton regime. Washington’s lies about Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction” originated in the Clinton regime, as did the goal of “regime change” in Iraq and Washington’s illegal bombings and embargoes that costs the lives of 500,000 Iraqi children, lost lives that Clinton’s Secretary of State said were justified.

The US government had done wicked things in the past. For example, the Spanish-American war was a grab for empire, and Washington has always protected the interests of US corporations from Latin American reformers, but the Clinton regime globalized the criminality. Regime change has become reckless bringing with it danger of nuclear war. It is no longer Grenada and Honduras whose governments are overthrown. Today it is Russia and China that are targeted. Former parts of Russia herself–Georgia and Ukraine–have been turned into Washington’s vassal states. Washington-financed NGOs organize “student protests” in Hong Kong, hoping that the protests will spread into China and destabilize the government. The recklessness of these interventions in the internal affairs of nuclear powers is unprecedented.

Hillary Clinton is a warmonger, and so will be the Republican candidate. The hardening anti-Russian rhetoric issuing from Washington and its punk EU puppet states places the world on the road to extinction. The arrogant neoconservatives, with their hubristic belief that the US is the “exceptional and indispensable” country, would regard a deescalation of rhetoric and sanctions as backing down. The more the neocons and politicians such as John McCain and Lindsey Graham escalate the rhetoric, the closer we come to war.

As the US government now embraces pre-emptive arrest and detention of those who might someday commit a crime, the entire cadre of neocon warmongers should be arrested and indefinitely detained before they destroy humanity.

The Clinton years produced a spate of books documenting the numerous crimes and coverups–the Oklahoma City bombing, Ruby Ridge, Waco, the FBI crime lab scandal, Vincent Foster’s death, CIA involvement in drug running, the militarization of law enforcement, Kosovo, you name it. Most of these books are written from a libertarian or conservative viewpoint as no one realized while it was happening the nature of the transformation of American governance. Those who have forgotten and those too young ever to have known owe it to themselves to acquaint or re-acquaint themselves with the Clinton years. Recently I wrote about Ambrose Evans-Pritchard’s book, The Secret Life of Bill Clinton. Another book with substantial documentation is James Bovard’s Feeling Your Pain. Congress and the media aided and abetted the extensive coverups, focusing instead on the relatively unimportant Whitewater real estate deals and Clinton’s sexual affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

Clinton and his corrupt regime lied about many important things, but only his lie about his affair with Monica Lewinsky caused the House of Representatives to impeach him. By ignoring numerous substantial grounds for impeachment and selecting instead an insubstantial reason, Congress and the media were complicit in the rise of an unaccountable executive branch. This lack of accountability has brought us tyranny at home and war abroad, and these two evils are enveloping us all.

"We all know that Hillary’s path to the White House is to dupe enough low info voters.

With our colleges & media today this shouldn’t be too difficult.

So old Hil gave a UN speech this afternoon on “women’s rights.” Oh puhleeeze … this woman rose to power solely because of her husband, used the “nuts and sluts” defense to protect Bill, pays Clinton Foundation female employees less and takes millions of dollars from Middle Eastern countries that ruthlessly subjugate women. Last year Kathleen Willey, one of the dozens of Bubba’s sexually abused victims, said this: “Hillary Clinton is the war on women.” Bullseye Kathleen!

After her speech today Hillary addressed her email controversy, saying she used private email for “convenience,” admitting she’s deleted lots of emails (personal of course) and insisting that her private “server will remain private.” Translation: We peasants must take Hillary’s word that she didn’t delete any damaging emails and that the State Dept. now has them all.

Bravo Mrs. Clinton … Richard Nixon would be so proud!"

who would take her word just because she makes claims? well, there are die hard democrats who pledged their allegiance to the dems, bubba, women, and al sharpton. personally i vote for the person who i feel will do the best job and their party has nothing to do with my decision. of course i have to admit that after the vote the true person showed up and the truth became evident that I was hoodwinked......but then again i have to admit i am human and make mistakes. thus hillary, i do believe i have your number and i am not buying anything you have to say....and this time i know i am right

Gowdy Scorches Hillary! You Won’t Believe Her Lame Excuse for Missing Emails

During a press conference yesterday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton claimed that she set up a private e-mail account and server during her tenure at the State Department because she didn’t want to carry two separate devices around – one for work e-mails and one for private.

“I opted for convenience,” she said.

This question immediately arises – Wouldn’t it be more convenient to keep both e-mail accounts on one phone?

In response to Clinton’s mea culpa, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi, spoke to Fox’s Greta Van Susteren last night, mocking the aspiring presidential candidate for being technologically incompetent.

Gowdy told viewers that he’d be more than happy “to show her how to put two email accounts on one phone.”

“Even I managed to figure out how to do that,” he quipped.

Gowdy also took a shot at the destruction of personal e-mails, something Clinton confessed to doing, but citing them as nothing more than communications about family vacations or “yoga routines.”

“I have no interest in her yoga routine,” Gowdy shot back. “Trust me, I have no interest in that.”

Hillary Clinton’s Enemy No. 1
Meet Trey Gowdy, the would-be president's reluctant nemesis.
By MICHAEL HIRSH
March 12, 2015

t’s late Wednesday afternoon, the day after Hillary Clinton’s defiant I’m-telling-you-this-and-nothing-more news conference at the United Nations and Trey Gowdy — who’s now seen as her No. 1 antagonist on Benghazi — is all over the news up in Washington. But this is the middle of South Carolina, Gowdy’s home district, and the two-term congressman pulls into a Cracker Barrel on State Highway 183 — where I’m waiting to meet him — alone at the wheel of a filthy silver Toyota Corolla. Gowdy gets out, hands me the keys and drawls, “Car’s over there. Got to go to the men’s room.” Inside the Corolla, crud from some ancient condiment spill has permanently affixed itself to the gear-shift console, and a thick layer of dust covers the dash. Stuffed into the passenger back seat pocket is a battered loose-leaf notebook labeled “Benghazi ARB”—which, when I point it out to him, Gowdy leafs through as if he’s discovering a long-lost document. “Oh yeah, this was our hearing on the Accountability Review Board,” he says. “Forgot it was there.”

The day before, Gowdy had made all the right Washington moves. Clinton had barely stepped away from the microphone before Gowdy’s office released a statement, chiding the insufficiency of her answers, demanding Clinton turn over the personal computer server and promising to require her to “appear at least twice” before Gowdy’s committee. A few hundred miles and a news cycle away from the capital, maneuvering the car onto the rainy highway, bound for a lecture at Clemson University, the voluble and relaxed former prosecutor sounds less like the Grand Inquisitor and more like the fair-minded judge that he has long aspired to be.

Contrary to all rumor and innuendo, Gowdy says he is completely open to the idea that Clinton may have done nothing wrong while secretary of state. He has publicly pointed out “gaps” that go for “months" in the materials she has provided on Benghazi. But he insists he’s not accusing her of anything; he just doesn’t know yet, he says.

Short and whippet thin, with close-cropped graying hair that looks as if it’s hand-combed, Gowdy has a sharp-angled, crudely handsome face; at times he resembles the quick-silver Terminator II guy who beat up on Arnold Schwarzenegger. But Gowdy doesn’t see a similarly relentless pursuit of Hillary as his mission.

Taking on Clinton, Gowdy repeats, “is not my job. That’s the job of the RNC, and the Republican candidate for president. … If they hired me for that job they hired the wrong guy. Why would you hire a not-even-two-term guy, all of whose training tells him to go where facts take him, who doesn’t even go to NRCC [National Republican Congressional Committee] dinners, who’s lousy at fundraisers, who hates to travel? Because that’s who you’re getting.”

The job he was appointed to do last year by House Speaker John Boehner was to chair a special investigatory committee on Benghazi after the Republican right roared its disapproval of previous failed inquiries. What does he know right now, I ask him, based on numerous witness appearances and 850 pages already submitted by the State Department?

Not all that much. He says he’s “seen no evidence” that Clinton ordered a stand-down of security forces in Benghazi, contributing to the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans on Sept. 11, 2012 , or any of the other more damning things the right typically alleges.

And if anyone expects him to chase the presumptive frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination to the gates of political hell to get tens of thousands of her personal emails, well, don’t bank on it. Right now, Gowdy wants an independent arbitrator to decide whether those 30,000 or so emails contain anything significant material to his probe, and he says he’d even accept a respected Democratic professional like Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz for that task. But when I point out that another committee he serves on recently accepted a high-level witness’s mere “certification” or a personal oath that his submitted emails were complete, Gowdy says a similar compromise might be possible with Clinton.

“That may be the best we can get. If you can’t get what you think is your reasonable alternative, because you’re dealing with the limitations of the legislative branch. What is your power to dictate otherwise? Public pressure maybe. But beyond that what can you do?”

***

People who know Gowdy well wouldn’t be surprised to hear him talk this way.

A Christian conservative elected in the tea party wave of 2010, Gowdy is a believer all right — but not in what many of his fellow Republicans would consider the “cause,” namely preventing, by any means necessary, the title President from appearing in front of Hillary’s name. He has little interest in becoming a latter-day Kenneth Starr. He has no visceral hatred of the Clintons, he says.

“I never would have become a prosecutor except for Bill Clinton,” Gowdy remarks casually, explaining that it was only when Clinton became president in 1993 that he got the job he’d long wanted, federal prosecutor in South Carolina, which had been denied him under George H.W. Bush.

When I joke that perhaps he should recuse himself from the Benghazi investigation for his pro-Clinton bias, he laughs. “She really is going to be, I don’t want to say a small part — I don’t know — but she is by no means the central focus of our inquiry. … John Boehner didn’t even mention her name when he asked me to do this. There are a million other things to pursue with respect to Benghazi other than Secretary Clinton.”

By the account of many friends and associates, it’s the law, not partisan politics, that Gowdy reveres. Gowdy himself says he’d much rather be a judge or even a law professor than a member of Congress, a place, he admits to me, that he’s come to hate. The House, Gowdy says, has become little more than as a venue for permanent political warfare, unrelieved by action. According to Dave Woodard, Gowdy’s political mentor in Spartanburg and the man who launched his career: “He said to me not long ago, ‘I thought I was doing more for America by putting bad guys in jail than hitting my head against a wall with 435 morons.’”

Mick Mulvaney, Gowdy’s friend and fellow member of the close-knit South Carolina congressional caucus, says selecting the 50-year-old Gowdy was a big risk for Boehner, who remains on permanently thin ice with his right-wing base.

“I think he’s more well-suited to be judge than a politician, which is why he was a great choice on one hand, but also a very dangerous choice for Boehner,” says Mulvaney. “He’s brutally fair, and brutally honest, and brutally transparent. While everyone assumes he’ll find something on Benghazi, it’s entirely plausible that he finds no wrongdoing, and if he does there are going to be some Republicans who are not happy with that finding.”

The State Department just accused Hillary Clinton of lying?
State Department Did Not Auto Archive Hillary Clinton Emails
By Kathryn Schroeder, Sat, March 14, 2015

Hillary Clinton stated during a press conference last week that emails sent from her private email address while she served as Secretary of State were “immediately” saved. New information revealed from the State Department alleges that this is an untrue statement.

Clinton gave the press conference on Tuesday to respond to the recently uncovered fact that she used a personal email account and server when she was Secretary of State, Opposing Views previously reported. Clinton released some of the emails sent from her personal email address to The Select Committee On Benghazi as part of their investigation. Some 30,000 emails were deleted and not shared because Clinton said they were personal.

"And when I got there, I wanted to just use one device for both personal and work e-mails, instead of two," Clinton said at the press conference. "It was allowed. And as I said, it was for convenience. And it was my practice to communicate with State Department and other government officials on their .gov accounts so those e-mails would be automatically saved in the State Department system to meet record-keeping requirements, and that, indeed, is what happened.”

State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said Friday that the department did not start automatically archiving emails from senior officials until February of this year, reports FOX News. "They have long been planning to do this. It's just something that it took some time to put in place," Psaki said.

Prior to February 2015, senior officials were personally responsible for choosing their own official records for preservation. “Obviously, this [automatic archiving] is a more efficient way — a way that will require less human effort….We have quite a bit going on here at the State Department,” Psaki said. “There were ways to preserve [emails] and employees and individuals were expected to do that prior to this new process.”

An inspector general report released earlier this week noted that archiving was not happening on a regular basis.

According to the report, in 2011, employees created just “61,156 record emails out of more than a billion emails sent.” Fewer were created in 2013.

The report said some employees were not preserving emails "because they do not want to make the email available in searches or fear that this availability would inhibit debate about pending decisions."

Psaki said information that was not saved may be recoverable, reports Politico. “I wouldn’t state it’s ‘lost to history’ because there are technical means of gaining access to past information,” Psaki said. “I’m not an expert on the technical capabilities.”

Questions have now been raised as to why Clinton thought her emails were being preserved just because they were sent to a “.gov” address. “She spoke as if she could just roll along with the firm expectation and belief that at least the ‘vast majority’ were being ‘handled’ in that way. From whence did that come? That’s the question that arises now.” said former Justice Department Office of Information and Privacy Director Dan Metcalfe. “What was her foundation for even that? Did someone incorrectly tell her that that was happening, or did she incorrectly make such a self-serving assumption?”

Psaki suggested that there may have been confusion among some State Department employees about what was and was not being automatically saved. “I assume some assumed that was happening at the time as well,” Psaki said. “We’re updating it because it’s an imperfect system."

Obama adviser behind leak of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal
By Edward Klein - March 14, 2015 | 9:33pm

https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/cover6.jpg?w=265&h=300

It’s the vast left-wing conspiracy.

Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett leaked to the press details of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail address during her time as secretary of state, sources tell me. But she did so through people outside the *administration, so the story couldn’t be traced to her or the White House.

In addition, at Jarrett’s behest, the State Department was ordered to launch a series of investigations into Hillary’s conduct at Foggy Bottom, including the use of her expense account, the disbursement of funds, her contact with foreign leaders and her possible collusion with the Clinton Foundation.

Six separate probes into Hillary’s performance have been *going on at the State Department. I’m told that the e-mail scandal was timed to come out just as Hillary was on the verge of formally announcing that she was running for president — and that there’s more to come.

Members of Bill Clinton’s camp say the former president suspects the White House is the source of the leak and is furious. “My contacts and friends in newspapers and TV tell me that they’ve been contacted by the White House and offered all kinds of negative stories about us,” one of Bill’s friends quotes him as saying. “The Obamas are behind the e-mail story, and they’re spreading rumors that I’ve been with women, that Hillary promoted people at the State Department who’d done favors for our foundation, that John Kerry had to clean up diplomatic messes Hillary left behind.”

Then, according to this source, Bill added: “The Obamas are out to get us any way they can.”

The sabotage is part of an *ongoing feud between the two Democrat powerhouses.

Last fall, during the run-up to the 2014 midterm elections, Jarrett was heard to complain bitterly that the Clintons were turning congressmen, senators, governors and grass-root party members against Obama by portraying him as an unpopular president who was an albatross around the neck of the party.

Jarrett was said to be livid that most Democrats running for election refused to be seen campaigning with the president. She blamed the Clintons for marginalizing the president and for trying to wrestle control of the Democratic Party away from Obama.

And she vowed payback.

My sources say Jarrett saw an opportunity to hit back hard when Monica Lewinsky suddenly resurfaced after years of living in obscurity. Jarrett discreetly put out word to some friendly members of the press that the White House would look with favor if they gave Monica some ink and airtime.

Relations have gotten even frostier in the past few months.

After the Democrats took a shellacking in the midterms, the White House scheduled a meeting with Hillary Clinton. When she showed up in the Oval Office, she was greeted by three people — the president, Jarrett and Michelle Obama.

With his wife and Jarrett looking on, Obama made it clear that he intended to stay neutral in the presidential primary process — a clear signal that he wouldn’t mind if someone challenged Hillary for the nomination.

“Obama and Valerie Jarrett will go to any lengths to prevent Hillary from becoming president,” a source close to the White House told me. “They believe that Hillary, like her husband, is left of center, not a true-blue liberal.”

If she gets into the White House, they believe she will compromise with the Republicans in Congress and undo Obama’s legacy.

“With Obama’s approval,” this source continued, “Valerie has been holding secret meetings with Martin O’Malley [the former Democratic governor of Maryland] and [Massachusetts Sen.] Elizabeth Warren. She’s promised O’Malley and Warren the full support of the White House if they will challenge Hillary for the presidential nomination.”

NYT Reporter Threatened With a List of 11 Words That Are Too ‘Sexist’ To Describe Hillary
By Victoria Taft - 17 hours ago

New York Times political reporter claims she’s been threatened by a Hillary Clinton volunteer group if she uses a list of words the group deems ‘coded sexism’ to describe Clinton in her news stories.

In some ways, the demand seems like a cross between comedian George Carlin’s famous riff on the ‘7 Words You Can’t Say on TV’ and George Orwell’s Newspeak, referred to in 1984.

Here are the words the group says can’t be used to describe Clinton:
•Ambitious
•Calculating
•Disingenuous
•Entitled
•Insincere
•Out of Touch
•Over Confident
•Polarizing
•Represent the Past
•Secretive
•Will Do Anything to Win

The group making the demands of the New York Times reporter, ‘HRC Super Volunteers,’ has been around for a few years as a Google group.

Of course, these words have been used to describe any number of politicians. For instance, The New York Times ran a story on Cruz with one of the Clinton ‘no-go’ words:

In a news conference, Deanna Favre announced she will be the starting Quarterback for the Green Bay Packers football team next season. Deanna asserts that she is qualified to be the starting QB because she had spent 16 years married to Brett while he played QB for the Packers - even though she has actually never played football at any level from grade school up, never ran the offense of any team,nor ever played the game. During this period of time, she became familiar with the definition of a corner blitz, the nickel package, man-to-man coverage, so she is now completely comfortable with all the other terminology involving the Packers offense. A survey of Packers fans shows 50% of those polled supported the move.

Does this sound idiotic and unbelievable ... or familiar to you?

Hillary Clinton makes the same claims as to why she is qualified to be the President of the United States and 50% of Democrats polled agree.

Her "career" has been serving as Bill Clinton's wife.

When told Hillary Clinton has experience because she has 8 years in the White House, one can’t help but think, So does the pastry chef, the person who picks up dog crap and the bumbling guards at the White House.

When it comes to running the State Department, her biggest achievement was getting a US ambassador and 3 other Americans killed, by pretending terrorism had been defeated, managing to have 6 BILLION magically disappear without a trace, and showing Americans how corrupt she is by using private email servers in violation of law, and then deleting them when pressed to provide them to the appropriate Congressional Investigation Committee… Her words still echo..."what difference does it make?"

At least Deanna Favre is pretty, and she won’t hurt this country.

actually she has more experience than O had when he became president....and seeing what he has accomplished in the 6 yrs in the wh has imho been more devastating: umpteen scandals such as fast & furious, va, irs, benghazi, (more listed here http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2013/08/01/obama-dozen-scandals-counting/ ), publicly praising a deserter as a hero, snubbing an ally, acting non-presidential (flirting at funeral, hamming it up for photographers after announcing an american beheading, spend billions in a recession on his endless luxury vacations, chewing gum like a cow, etc), bullying americans with threats of his phone and his pen, ignoring the constitution (except the parts he likes), increasing racial divide, using and attempting to use executive orders to bypass the constitution, laws and congress. people are still wondering where he was and what he was doing when benghazi was attacked where 4 americans were murdered; why he learns what is happening in his own country thru the news, why he does not attend security meetings, why members of his own family had been living illegally in the US and he did not know (the uncle he first alleged he did not know even though he lived with him in MA for 3 months), what he has promised iran who even today is chanting death to america; why he claimed that his mother could not get medical coverage for cancer when it is reported that her bills were paid by insurance and other statements so he could promote obamacare.................to much to list

White House Tell-All Reveals What the Staff Saw Clintons Do
…And It Does Not Bode Well for Billary
By Chris Martin - 20 hours ago

http://static.ijreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/billary2-594x330.jpg

With Hillary Clinton poised to make a presidential run, some people are recalling the time that she and the former President spent in the White House. While the country viewed the Clinton presidential years from the outside, dozens of people had a first-hand look at how the First Family conducted themselves.

Now, the observations of many White House ushers, florists, cooks, and other staffers have been compiled in a new book by Kate Andersen Brower, entitled The Residence: Inside the Private World of The White House.

http://static.ijreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/theresidence-678x1024.jpg

Here are some of the more eyebrow-raising tidbits from the book: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/04/07/white-house-staff-dishes-on-clintons-hillary-hit-bill-with-a-book-crooks-had-open-door.html

•During the Monica Lewinsky era, Hillary hit Bill with a book hard enough to bloody their bed and require stitches in his head. http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/04/clinton-white-house-the-residence-excerpt-116706.html#.VSRKkPnF98E

•The staff was called in to clean up the remnants of a lamp that Hillary apparently hurled in Bill’s direction – after exclaiming, “G*dd**n b*****d!” http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/04/clinton-white-house-the-residence-excerpt-116706.html#.VSRKkPnF98E

•Hillary instructed Usher Worthington White that no one was to be in her sightline during one particular visit to the pool, forcing Secret Service agents to abandon protocol and not walk in front of her.

After declining butler service, White said: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/04/clinton-white-house-the-residence-excerpt-116706.html#.VSRKkPnF98E

Okay, ma’am,” White replied. “It’s twelve o’clock now, and I get off at one and someone else will be in.”

Clinton looked intently at him. “I’ll call you when I’m done.”

“Yes, ma’am,” White replied, knowing that that meant he would have to stay until whenever she chose to leave. He didn’t get the call until nearly three-thirty that afternoon.

•Florist Ronn Payne overheard this exchange between Chelsea Clinton and her Secret Service escort to school:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/04/07/white-house-staff-dishes-on-clintons-hillary-hit-bill-with-a-book-crooks-had-open-door.html

Chelsea [on the phone]: Oh, I’ve got to go. The pigs are here.

Secret Service agent [turning “crimson’]: Ms. Clinton, I want to tell you something. My job is to stand between you, your family, and a bullet. Do you understand?

Chelsea: Well, that’s what my mother and father call you.

•The staff believed that Hillary knew about Lewinsky for much longer than she admitted. During some of the most tense times of the ordeal:
http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/04/clinton-white-house-the-residence-excerpt-116706.html#.VSRKkPnF98E

For three or four months in 1998, the president slept on a sofa in a private study attached to their bedroom on the second floor. Most of the women on the residence staff thought he got what he deserved.

As of today, The Residence is available for purchase in bookstores and online.

One Day Before Hillary’s ‘Unexpected’ Announcement She’s Running for President, SNL Drops This Skit

By Kyle Becker (2 hours ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXdNYXMQoy8&feature=player_embedded

“Me, me, me, me, me, me, me…” Those 7 words seem to sum up what Hillary is all about in this SNL skit.

Kate McKinnon does a scary good Hillary Clinton in the SNL cold open, since she can’t keep from saying her favorite words “me” or “I” (sharing a trait with other presidents).

The skit includes a special appearance by show alum Darrell Hammond as former President Bill Clinton, and he nails some funny lines.

McKinnon makes fun of Hillary’s fashion sense in a memorable way. Some of the faces the SNL actress makes are hilarious parodies of the most striking Hillary photos.

Looks like SNL will at least provide some laughs that aren’t exactly kid-glove treatment of Hillary ahead of the 2016 elections.

As former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton launches her campaign to destroy America, I mean uh, run for President, the Internet has come alive with all kinds of explanations as to what her new logo really means.

Much like the hoopla surrounding Ted Cruz’s logo — which for some reason became an obsession for liberal media — the most brilliant minds have gathered online to form a super group with one goal:

To figure out the message Hillary’s logo is trying to communicate to us, the American people.

Well, there’s good news folks.

They’ve finally cracked the code and solved the mystery.

Ladies and gents, here’s what it all means. Prepare to have your minds blown.

http://2-ps.googleusercontent.com/hk/BfQo-uol7YHmiDPfynHaUJ2ABp/www.youngcons.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/599x282xHillaryObamalog.jpg.pagespeed.ic.5B6llCF5F nwqwmOaTv2c.jpg

Boom.

The message Hillary’s trying to pass on to us subliminally through her campaign logo is that if she’s elected president, we’re in for more of the same old big government, freedom hating garbage we enjoyed under the “leadership” of President Obama.

I don’t know about you, but that has me REALLY excited!

Who wouldn’t like a second helping of corruption and scandal, with a side of socialism?

Yeah, me neither.

No doubt, when Hillary gets wind of this awesomely fantastic meme she’ll call it sexist, because now that a woman’s running for president, anything and everything that criticizes her or slams her will be “sexism,” the same way it was “racist” when Obama was running.

Naturally, that all changes if the woman making a run for the White House is a conservative, as it’s perfectly cool to slam someone on the right with actual sexist insults.

At that point, all we can do is give her our best fake “aww” face and tell her the truth hurts.

Of course the truth is a concept she isn’t familiar with, so the reference might just go over her head.

Why doesn't the media ask Hillary these questions?

By Howie Carr, Boston Herald (MA) April 13, 2015 6:50 am

Rand Paul had a good suggestion for the press last week: Why don't you hacks start asking Democrats the same kind of loaded, gotcha, when-did-you-stop-beating-your-wife questions that you always throw at Republicans?

Will never happen, of course -- too many invitations to too many Beautiful People cocktail parties are at stake. But suppose the press were equal opportunity bashers?

For example, what if Hillary Clinton had to answer some real questions when she officially begins her campaign for president, er, queen?

It's easy to slant any question, even if it's totally legit. For instance, Hillary was against gay marriage less than two years ago. So blogger Jon Gabriel suggested this question for her:

"What finally made you agree with Dick Cheney that gay marriage should be legalized?"

Believe me, if Savannah Guthrie or her producer can think up stuff like this, then absolutely anybody can do it:

"Mrs. Clinton, your husband signed both the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 and the federal RFRA (sponsored by Ted Kennedy in the Senate) in 1993. Does that make your husband a bigot?"

When Bill Clinton is your spouse, the possibilities are endless.

"Madame Secretary, as governor, your husband signed a bill into law making English the official language of Arkansas. Does he still hate Hispanics, and do you share his xenophobia?"

It always looks more legit if you can blame your hostile questions on somebody else, say, the author of a new book.

"Your daughter Chelsea is quoted in a new book called 'The Residence' by Karen Andersen Brower as telling the White House staff that you referred to your Secret Service 'pigs.' Is that true?"

Once you find yourself a good club, keep pummeling!

"Mrs. Clinton, that same just-published book also quotes your staffers as saying you once bloodied the president with a book. This contradicts earlier reports that you preferred ashtrays or lamps when assaulting Bill. So what is your weapon of choice these days in domestic abuse?"

Make sure the authors' bona fides are in order, so Hillary can't claim it's just another "vast right-wing conspiracy."

"Madame Secretary, in their book 'Game Change,' noted left-wing Kool-Aid drinkers John Heilemann and Mark Halperin write that your husband, when talking to Ted Kennedy, said of Barack Obama: 'A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.' What do you think Mr. Clinton meant by that?"

I was't be in Des Moines afternoon, so I offer these questions up to any network types who wish to use them:

"Mrs. Clinton, can you define 'dead broke' for us?"

"You've talked about how much you love your grandchild. Would you allow your husband's dear friend, convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, to babysit little Charlotte?"

"Do you plan to make speeches in black dialect the way you did in 2008?"

"Mrs. Clinton, can you take us back to when you were dodging sniper fire in Tuzla?

Do you suffer PTSD because of your combat experience in Bosnia?"

"It's generally known that the late ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, was gay. Doesn't that make his murder in Benghazi a hate crime, and if not, exactly how many murders of Americans does it take before it 'matters,' as you would say?"

"Do you know what the meaning of the word is, is?"

Are we going too far back? No!!! They're banging Scott Walker for dropping out of college, and Mitt and Juan Ellis Bush are attacked on their prep-school days. Jeb intimidated kids, you know, because he was "tall." So go for it, scribes.

"Hillary, you've said that in 1975 you visited a Marine Corps recruiting station in Arkansas and inquired about enlisting. Can you give us the name of the jarhead you spoke to? We'd like to do a human-interest story on him. Semper fi!"

"Can you explain to us again how it is that you were named after Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to scale Mount Everest, when you were born in 1947, and nobody had ever heard of him until his climb in 1953?"

"Given your understandable outrage over the war on women and anti-gay discrimination, how can you allow your foundation to accept millions of dollars from the government of Saudi Arabia, which forbids women to drive and recently sentenced a gay man to 450 lashes?"

"Should Medicaid and Medicare pay for sex-change operations?"

One last question for Hillary:

"Since you flunked the bar exam the first time you took it, do you feel a special bond with ex-Gov. Deval Patrick, since it took him three times to pass after he graduated from a prestigious Ivy League school like yours?"

Nah, too local. Let's save that one for when she comes to New Hampshire.

Judge Jeanine Digs Up Disgusting Dirt From Hillary’s Past

“You want us to believe that you’re going to protect us?”
Justin Koski — April 13, 2015

Judge Jeanine Pirro on Saturday – before Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy – absolutely destroyed Clinton by belittling her character, arguing that Clinton doesn’t have the needs of Americans at heart and is solely focused on herself.

“I want someone who says what she means, and means what she says,” Pirro said on her show Justice with Judge Jeanine. “I want someone who understands and respects the Judeo-Christian ethics upon which this country was founded. I want someone who cares about us, who cares about the American people.”

Pirro then focused the rest of her opening statement on Clinton’s ethos. She said Hillary is not a woman of the people or even a “champion of women’s rights” – as she has claimed – and gave as an example Clinton’s defense of a 41-year-old pedophile accused of raping a 12-year-old girl.

Pirro played a soundbite from 1975 in which attorney Hillary Clinton gloated about her client’s ability to pass a polygraph (lie detector test) and then proceeded to smear the credibility of the young girl.

“You blame the victim and you laugh about it,” Pirro seethed. “And you want us to believe that you’re going to protect us?”

Judge Jeanine concluded her opening statement by saying she would like to have a female president — as long as it wasn’t Hillary Clinton.

MSNBC Poll Asks Viewers if Hillary Should be President, Backfires BIG TIME

Written by Michele Hickford, Editor-in-Chief on April 15, 2015

Poll numbers are tricky indicators. Depending on how the question is phrased you can get completely different answers. And of course you can stack the respondents a certain way to get a desired answer.

Which is why this new MSNBC poll is so…interesting.

A Rasmussen poll indicates 57 percent of likely voters think Hillary Clinton will be the next president. But that doesn’t mean they actually AGREE with the whole idea. http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2016/57_think_hillary_clinton_likely_to_win_in_2016

In fact, according to this MSNBC poll, the overwhelming majority of respondents are NOT planning on voting for her. The poll on MSNBC’s website appeared on Tuesday morning and currently shows that 86 percent of respondents would NOT vote for Hillary Clinton. Only 13 percent said they would and just two percent said “maybe.”

Of course the poll is “unscientific,” but I can’t believe it’s only conservative trolls who are stacking the deck on MSNBC’s website.

watch her eyes ....

Hillary hammered for inventing details of her family's immigration history, claiming all four grandparents weren't born in the US

Clinton claimed Wednesday in Iowa that 'all my grandparents came over here' as immigrants

She said last year that one of her grandmothers immigrated to Pennsylvania and worked in a silk mill

But Buzzfeed found American Census records showing that only one Clinton grandfather, and neither of their wives, was born outside the US
Clinton apparently shaded the truth to seem more authentic with her argument that illegal immigrants should have more legal access to jobs

By David Martosko, Us Political Editor For Dailymail.com
Published: 11:51 EST, 16 April 2015

Hillary Clinton has told a series of whoppers about her family history in order to appear more sympathetic to immigrants'-rights activists, according to documents that surfaced online Wednesday.

Buzzfeed found U.S. Census records and Selective Service documents – draft cards – that establish that three of the former secretary of state's grandparents were born in America.

That clashes with what Clinton herself has claimed publicly, including Wednesday afternoon in Norwalk, Iowa.

'All my grandparents, you know, came over here,' she said during a small business roundtable event, 'and you know my grandfather went to work in lace mill in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and worked there until he retired at 65. He started there when he was a teenager and just kept going.'

Clinton made the statment to underscore her support for changing the status of milions of illegal immigrants.

'We are turning down people who really want to work,' she said. 'I mean, they are here to work. And a lot of them now have children who are American citizens, and they are doing the best they can to try to make a good life for themselves and their families.'

The underpinnings of her personal story, however, seem false.

Both of Clinton’s maternal grandparents, named Della Howell and Edwin Howell, were born in Illinois, according to Buzzfeed's records research. And while her paternal grandfather, Hugh Rodham Sr., immigrated to the U.S, his wife Hanna Jones Rodham was born in Pennsylvania.

In a speech last year in Kentucky, Clinton claimed Hanna 'immigrated with her family as a young girl to Scranton [Pennnsylvania] and went to work, very young, in a silk mill.'

'She traced her Methodism back to the Wesley brothers themselves,' Clinton said, 'who converted her great grandparents in the small coal mining villages of Southern Wales.'

The Clinton camp quickly acknowledged the accurate Rodham family history.

'As has been correctly pointed out,' a campaign spokesperson told Buzzfeed, 'while her grandfather was an immigrant, it appears that Hillary’s grandmother was born shortly after her parents and siblings arrived in the U.S. in the early 1880s.'

But the insider insisted that Mrs. Clinton had simply believed what her family members had told her.

'Her grandparents always spoke about the immigrant experience and, as a result she has always thought of them as immigrants,' the spokesperson said.

1. She did not know her grandparents very well and just misinterpreted what they said. 2. Her grandparents lied to her. 3. Hellory lied about the entire ancestry thing. You pick.

Well that's almost as good, maybe even a little better as being named after Sir Edmund Hillary 7 years before he climbed Mt Everest...

Hillary Clinton's astroturf candidacy is in full swing in Iowa.

Her Tuesday morning visit to a coffee shop in LeClaire, Iowa was staged from beginning to end, according to Austin Bird, one of the men pictured sitting at the table with Mrs. Clinton. Bird told Daily Mail Online that campaign staffer Troy Price called and asked him and two other young people to meet him Tuesday morning at a restaurant in Davenport, a nearby city.

Price then drove them to the coffee house to meet Clinton after vetting them for about a half-hour. The three got the lion's share of Mrs. Clinton's time and participated in what breathless news reports described as a 'roundtable'– the first of many in her brief Iowa campaign swing.

Bird himself is a frequent participant in Iowa Democratic Party events. He interned with President Obama's 2012 presidential re-election campaign, and was tapped to chauffeur Vice President Joe Biden in October 2014 when he visited Davenport. 'What happened is, we were just asked to be there by Troy,' Bird said Wednesday in a phone interview. 'We were asked to come to a meeting with Troy, the three of us, at the Village Inn.'

The other two, he confirmed, were University of Iowa College Democrats president Carter Bell and Planned Parenthood of the Heartland employee Sara Sedlacek. 'It was supposed to be a strategy meeting,' Bird recalled, 'to get our thoughts about issues. But then all of a sudden he says, "Hey, we have Secretary Clinton coming in, would you like to go meet her?"'

'And then we got in a car – Troy's car – and we went up to the coffee house, and we sat at a table and then Hillary just came up and talked with us.'

Bird said 'we all were called. I mean, Troy asked us all to do – to go to a meeting with him. And we didn't really know what it was about. I mean, he did. He knew.'

It's unclear how many Iowans featured in photographs with Clinton that rocketed around the country on Tuesday were planted. 'The mayor of LeClaire was there, and his wife was there,' Bird said, recalling the scene at the coffee shop.

“This week, AmericaRising released an ad on Hillary Clinton. I usually don’t like, nor commentate on these kinds of ads.

But this ad, is without a doubt, the most effective anti-campaign ad that I’ve ever seen. And it shows Conservatives the blueprint on how to beat Hillary. Attack the dishonesty. I’ve been saying this for years. Hillary Clinton is more than a slimy politician, she’s a compulsive liar. She lies about big things, but more importantly, she lies about little things when she thinks that nobody’s watching. For no reason! Ignore the “sexism” claims from the left, speak freely, and focus on this. Watch below. It’s a must.”

NYT Reporter: Clinton Officials Lied About a Meeting Taking Place, Unaware of Photo Evidence

In a Fox News preview of “The Tangled Clinton Web,” a New York Times reporter accused the Clinton Foundation of lying to her about a meeting Bill Clinton had with Kazatomprom officials regarding the sale of uranium to Russia.
http://video.foxnews.com/v/4191709760001/preview-fox-news-reporting-the-tangled-clinton-web/?playlist_id=2114913880001#sp=show-clips http://video.foxnews.com/v/4191709760001/preview-fox-news-reporting-the-tangled-clinton-web/?playlist_id=2114913880001#sp=show-clips

“Frank Giustra arranged for officials to go to Bill Clinton’s house in Chappaqua,” reporter Jo Becker said.

“When I first contacted the Clinton Foundation, they denied any such meeting ever took place. And when we told them we have already talked to the head, who not only told us all about the meeting but actually has a picture of him and Bill at the home, that he proudly displays on his office wall, they then acknowledge the meeting had taken place.”

Becker’s scathing report based off of allegations in the book Clinton Cash found that the Clinton Foundation received millions of dollars in return for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton approving the transaction of American uranium into Russian hands. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html

The New York Times, Fox News, and other media outlets have arranged an exclusive agreement to report on the stories referred to in Clinton Cash. The Clinton Foundation remains under a mountain of scandal accusations that will only get worse as more reports are sure to be filed in the coming weeks offering more examples of the Clintons’ blurred lines while in power.

State Department approved 215 Bill Clinton speeches, controversial consulting deal, worth $48m;
Hillary Clinton's COS copied on all decisions

Luke Rosiak and Micah Morrison • | July 30, 2014 | 1:00 am

A joint investigation by the Washington Examiner and the nonprofit watchdog group Judicial Watch found that former President Clinton gave 215 speeches and earned $48 million while his wife presided over U.S. foreign policy, raising questions about whether the Clintons fulfilled ethics agreements related to the Clinton Foundation during Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state.

According to documents obtained by Judicial Watch and released Wednesday in an ongoing Freedom of Information Act case, State Department officials charged with reviewing Bill Clinton's proposed speeches did not object to a single one.

Some of the speeches were delivered in global hotspots and were paid for by entities with business or policy interests in the U.S.

The documents also show that in June 2011, the State Department approved a consulting agreement between Bill Clinton and a controversial Clinton Foundation adviser, Doug Band.

The consultancy with Band's Teneo Strategy ended eight months later following an uproar over Teneo's ties to the failed investment firm MF Global.

State Department legal advisers, serving as "designated agency ethics officials," approved Bill Clinton's speeches in China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Panama, Turkey, Taiwan, India, the Cayman Islands and other countries.

The memos approving Mr. Clinton's speeches were routinely copied to Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton's senior counsel and chief of staff.

Mills is a longtime Clinton troubleshooter who defended the president during his impeachment. In the Benghazi affair, Mills reportedly berated a high-ranking official at the U.S. embassy in Libya for talking to a Republican congressman.

Under State Department protocols, a "designated agency ethics official" is assigned to advise the secretary of state about "potential or actual conflicts of interest."

In a December 2008 memorandum of understanding, the protocols were expanded to Bill Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and related initiatives — specifically, to reviewing Bill Clinton's proposed speeches and consulting deals.

In an accompanying letter to the State Department legal adviser, Clinton lawyer David Kendall noted that Bill Clinton would disclose proposed consulting deals and, for speeches, provide "the identities of the host(s) (the entity that pay the speaker's fee)" so that the State Department "in consultation with the White House as appropriate, may conduct a review for any real or apparent conflicts of interest with the duties of the Secretary of State."

But an inspection by the Examiner and Judicial Watch of donations to the Clinton Foundation, Hillary Clinton's personal financial disclosure forms, and the State Department conflict-of-interest reviews shows that at least $48 million flowed to the Clintons' personal coffers from many entities that clearly had interests in influencing the Obama administration — and perhaps currying favor with a future president as well.

Saudi Arabia, for example, was a key Clinton benefactor. The oil-producing giant has had a relationship with the Clintons dating back to Bill Clinton's time as governor of Arkansas.

In 1992, while running for president, then-Gov. Clinton secured a $3.5 million Saudi donation for a Middle East studies program at the University of Arkansas.

A few weeks after Clinton was inaugurated president, the Saudis kicked in another $20 million. Both deals were brokered by a close Clinton friend, David Edwards.

Overall, the Clinton Foundation has received staggering sums from Saudi benefactors — between $18 million and $50 million. (The foundation's donations are reported in ranges, not specific numbers.)

While Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state, Bill Clinton gave two speeches in Saudi Arabia, earning a total of $600,000.

In January 2011, for example, Bill Clinton spoke at a global business forum in Riyadh founded by the Saudi Investment Authority and sponsored by the Dabbagh Group, a commercial colossus with close ties to the Saudi royal family.

His fee for the speech: $300,000.

During Hillary Clinton's time at the State Department, Bill Clinton also gave four speeches in the United Arab Emirates, earning $1.1 million. For two speeches in Egypt, he earned $425,000.

UAE-linked entities also have donated at least $2.7 to $11.5 million to the Clinton Foundation, and Egyptian entities have donated at least $250,000 to $750,000.

While the State Department did not object to Bill Clinton's speeches in the Arab world — or anywhere else — it did turn down a proposed consultancy with a longtime Clinton friend and supporter, the Israeli-American media mogul Haim Saban.

In turning down the consultancy, a February 2009 State Department memo noted that Saban "is actively involved in foreign affairs issues, particularly with regards to the Middle East, which is a priority area for the secretary."

The consultancy with Teneo and Band, the longtime Clinton adviser, was outlined in a June 2011 memo from Band himself, writing "on behalf of President Clinton," to a State Department legal adviser. Bill Clinton would advise Teneo on "geopolitical, economic and social trends."

Band requested a response within 10 business days. He got it in seven. "Please be advised that we have no objection," the State Department wrote.

Bill Clinton also was active in China, as was Hillary Clinton, who championed the notion of a "pivot" toward Asia during her time as secretary of state.

In the period after Hillary Clinton signed the ethics agreement, Bill Clinton gave four speeches in China or to Chinese-sponsored entities in the U.S., earning $1.7 million.

By comparison, between 2001 through 2007 — just after he left office, when a former president is normally most in demand — he gave seven speeches in China, earning $1.4 million.

Groups with interests in China also donated between $750,000 and $1.75 million, at a minimum, to the Clinton Foundation.

Taiwan took an interest in Bill Clinton as well. In November 2010, he spoke on global warming and social inequality at a Taipei event sponsored by Singapore-based UNI Strategic. His fee? $400,000.

The Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office donated close to $1 million to the Clinton Foundation, and the Taiwan Mobile Foundation and a semiconductor manufacturer also contributed.

Turkish sponsors paid Bill Clinton $1 million for three speeches, including one to an Arab stock exchange.

In Russia, Bill Clinton gave two speeches for $625,000. One was to the Russian investment bank, Renaissance Capital, at a 2010 event titled "Russian and the Commonwealth of Independent States: Going Global."

The State Department background memo described the bank as "focused on the emerging markets of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Sub-Saharan Africa."

The Russian Standard Bank also donated to the foundation.

In India, Bill Clinton collected $300,000 for two speeches. He also gave speeches to Indian companies and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce in Toronto, New Jersey and Disney World.

At one, a "conference on business process outsourcing/off-shoring," hosted by an outsourcing firm, the discussion centered around "the benefits and disadvantages of outsourcing IT," according to a State Department document.

In Panama, Bill Clinton earned $325,000 for one speech. And in the Cayman Islands — a notorious offshore money haven — $225,000 for a speech, noted a State Department document, "at a ticketed event that will target the business community in Grand Cayman."

Hillary Tells Christians They HAVE to Change Their Beliefs Over Abortion
April 24, 2015
by Warner Todd Huston

As she warms up her new campaign for president, Hillary Clinton has a message for Christians: You morons better change your feelings on abortion or you are denying women “health care.”

First of all, abortion is not healthcare. It is a mere convenience used to allow a mother-to-be to escape having to deal with the “disease” of pregnancy. At least, that is how the left looks at pregnancy; as a disease.

But Hillary is now out there saying that if you are a Christian who stands against abortion on religious grounds, why, then, you want women to get sick and die… or something.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton took a feminist tone on Thursday. She told attendees at the sixth annual Women in The World Summit that “deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed” for the sake of giving women access to “reproductive health care and safe childbirth.”

“Far too many women are denied access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth, and laws don’t count for much if they’re not enforced. Rights have to exist in practice — not just on paper,” Clinton said.

Here is exactly how she said it at about 8:26 into the video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pVTiAJ1e9SM

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pVTiAJ1e9SM

There is little doubt that with their hatred of Christians Democrats are on the road toward an eventual outlawing of Christianity. With their beliefs that Christians are evil and want to kill women, it is the only logical end they can come to.

I mean, who needs that old “religious freedom” stuff our nation was founded upon, anyway? Hillary sure doesn’t.

Hillary Asks People to Put Free Bumper Stickers on Their Cats.
Here are the Sarcastic Responses.
By Katie LaPotin (28 mins ago)

Hillary Clinton, call your office… or better yet, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals!

The 2016 presidential candidate inadvertently set off a firestorm Friday when her campaign suggested that supporters place their free, limited-edition “I <3 Hillary” stickers on the backs of America’s favorite feline friends.

http://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CDYEBIoWoAEduAq.mp4
https://pbs.twimg.com/tweet_video/CDYEBIoWoAEduAq.mp4

Yes, you read that right – a bumper sticker on a cat.

http://static.ijreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Hillary-Clinton-sticker-on-cat.jpg

The campaign even used the image as part of an email to their supporters promoting the new bumper sticker.

Hillary’s new bumper sticker advert…or her ominous future as a cat lady?

Naturally, people on Twitter had some interesting responses as to where they would put their Hillary bumper stickers

Southern_Patriot™ ‎@LanceTruPatriot

@HillaryClinton Send mine to Benghazi and the Ambassadors wife. That's if the bumper sticker copy is still on your email server

1:59 PM - 25 Apr 2015

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDYsE6UUkAAk7FZ.jpg

The Clintons have typically been viewed as pet lovers, rescuing Socks, a stray cat whom Buzzfeed called “the most beloved Clinton.” They also had a pet dog, Buddy, while living at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

http://www.ijreview.com/2015/04/307002-hillarys-campaign-distributes-free-bumper-stickers-suggests-awkward-places-paste/

Of course, they gave Socks to a secretary just as they moved out of the White House, and Buddy disappeared shortly after they moved to New York. No more fuzzy wuzzy photo ops ... didn't need the pets anymore.

Socks Clinton (1989 – February 20, 2009) was the pet cat of U.S. President Bill Clinton's family during his presidency. As an adopted stray cat, he was the only pet of the Clintons during the early years of the administration, and his likeness hosted the children's version of the White House website.[1] After Clinton left office, Socks resided with former Clinton secretary Betty Currie and her husband, owing to continuing conflicts with Clinton's dog Buddy.[2][3]

Hillary Clinton weighs in on Baltimore riots at New York donor event
By Gabriel Debenedetti - 4/28/15 9:03 PM EDT
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday offered her most extensive comments yet on the unrest in Baltimore, saying “Baltimore is burning” while she spoke at a campaign fundraising event in Manhattan.

“It is heartbreaking,” Clinton said, one night after rioting and looting hit the city, leading to dozens of arrests and at least 20 injured police officers. “The tragic death of another young African-American man. The injuries to police officers. The burning of peoples’ homes and small businesses. We have to restore order and security. But then we have to take a hard look as to what we need to do to reform our system.”

The former secretary of state’s remarks came less than 24 hours after she tweeted that she was “praying for peace & safety for all in Baltimore, & for Freddie Gray’s family — his death is a tragedy that demands answers.” They also came just a day before she will urge that the country “end the era of mass incarceration,” and will call for every police department in the country to have body cameras, in a speech at Columbia University.

Clinton will also “discuss the hard truth and fundamental unfairness in our country that today African-American men are far more likely to be stopped and searched by police, charged with crimes and sentenced to longer prison terms,” according to an aide.

The Democratic front-runner published an essay on criminal justice through the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University’s School of Law earlier on Tuesday, declaring, “We can stand up together and say: Yes, black lives matter. Yes, the government should serve and protect all of our people. Yes, our country is strongest when everyone has a fair shot at the American Dream.”

Her comments Tuesday were in front of an audience of her political contributors, at her third fundraising event of the day.

Clinton also used the occasion to run through some of the emerging planks of her White House run.

Referring to unaccountable political money — a subject she regularly raises during campaign stops — Clinton called 2010’s Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision, which directly concerned a film about her, “one of the worst decisions the Supreme Court ever made.”

She said the decision effectively decided, “‘It’s a First Amendment right, disclosure will take care of that. Put the billionaires — line them up on both sides — and then you just disclose their money.’ That’s not the way the world works.”

Clinton then turned to her own fundraising effort, which is widely expected to raise around $2 billion when coupled with independent super PACs supporting her White House bid.

The former New York senator, who has a number of allies on Wall Street, said her campaign’s goal of raising $100 million during the primaries is “certainly within reach.”

The Tuesday events in New York were the first Clinton personally attended since formally launching her White House bid earlier this month, and they were hosted by a handful of prominent names in financial circles. Her comments on Baltimore and political money came at the home of Doug Teitelbaum — an investor — and his wife, Agatha.

Clinton’s team is constructing a bundler program so that contributors known as “Hillstarters” each gather 10 separate donations of $2,700, and the campaign was expected to raise about $1 million between the three events on Tuesday.

Clinton is expected to continue raising campaign funds in New York, Washington and California in the coming weeks.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/24/new-york-times-hillary-clintons-lack-of-disclosure-an-inexcusable-violation/Hillary Clinton weighs in on Baltimore riots at New York donor event
By Gabriel Debenedetti - 4/28/15 9:03 PM EDT
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday offered her most extensive comments yet on the unrest in Baltimore, saying “Baltimore is burning” while she spoke at a campaign fundraising event in Manhattan.

“It is heartbreaking,” Clinton said, one night after rioting and looting hit the city, leading to dozens of arrests and at least 20 injured police officers. “The tragic death of another young African-American man. The injuries to police officers. The burning of peoples’ homes and small businesses. We have to restore order and security. But then we have to take a hard look as to what we need to do to reform our system.”

The former secretary of state’s remarks came less than 24 hours after she tweeted that she was “praying for peace & safety for all in Baltimore, & for Freddie Gray’s family — his death is a tragedy that demands answers.” They also came just a day before she will urge that the country “end the era of mass incarceration,” and will call for every police department in the country to have body cameras, in a speech at Columbia University.

Clinton will also “discuss the hard truth and fundamental unfairness in our country that today African-American men are far more likely to be stopped and searched by police, charged with crimes and sentenced to longer prison terms,” according to an aide.

The Democratic front-runner published an essay on criminal justice through the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University’s School of Law earlier on Tuesday, declaring, “We can stand up together and say: Yes, black lives matter. Yes, the government should serve and protect all of our people. Yes, our country is strongest when everyone has a fair shot at the American Dream.”

Her comments Tuesday were in front of an audience of her political contributors, at her third fundraising event of the day.

Clinton also used the occasion to run through some of the emerging planks of her White House run.

Referring to unaccountable political money — a subject she regularly raises during campaign stops — Clinton called 2010’s Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision, which directly concerned a film about her, “one of the worst decisions the Supreme Court ever made.”

She said the decision effectively decided, “‘It’s a First Amendment right, disclosure will take care of that. Put the billionaires — line them up on both sides — and then you just disclose their money.’ That’s not the way the world works.”

Clinton then turned to her own fundraising effort, which is widely expected to raise around $2 billion when coupled with independent super PACs supporting her White House bid.

The former New York senator, who has a number of allies on Wall Street, said her campaign’s goal of raising $100 million during the primaries is “certainly within reach.”

The Tuesday events in New York were the first Clinton personally attended since formally launching her White House bid earlier this month, and they were hosted by a handful of prominent names in financial circles. Her comments on Baltimore and political money came at the home of Doug Teitelbaum — an investor — and his wife, Agatha.

Clinton’s team is constructing a bundler program so that contributors known as “Hillstarters” each gather 10 separate donations of $2,700, and the campaign was expected to raise about $1 million between the three events on Tuesday.

Clinton is expected to continue raising campaign funds in New York, Washington and California in the coming weeks.

Bill Clinton: Foundation has done nothing wrong; helps poor
Associated Press - 10 hrs ago

WASHINGTON — Former President Bill Clinton says there's nothing "sinister" about getting wealthy people to contribute money toward helping poor people.

The Clinton Foundation has faced persistent questions about its acceptance of donations from foreign countries and its corporate ties. Now that Hillary Rodham Clinton is running for president, the foundation is also under scrutiny for the overlap between long-term political donors and foundation funders.

In an interview on NBC's "Today" show, Bill Clinton says there has been a deliberate effort by political opponents to destroy the foundation. He said: "I don't think I did anything that's against the interests of the United States."

Bill Clinton: Foundation's done nothing 'knowingly inappropriate'
By Alexandra Jaffe, CNN
Updated 8:29 AM ET, Mon May 4, 2015

Washington (CNN)—Former President Bill Clinton dismissed the controversy over foreign donations to his family's foundation, saying in a testy interview that the charitable organization has "never done anything knowingly inappropriate."

"There is no doubt in my mind that we have never done anything knowingly inappropriate in terms of taking money to influence any kind of American government policy," he said in an interview that aired Monday on NBC's "Today" show. "That just hasn't happened."

The Clinton Foundation's fundraising practices have drawn scrutiny as Hillary Clinton launches her second run for president. Critics have raised questions about donations from foreign governments that had projects or financial interests under Clinton's jurisdiction during her time as secretary of State.

Bill Clinton said on NBC that he has turned down some donations, but declined to elaborate. "Since I turned it down, I don't need to talk about it," he said.

The Foundation has reinstated a ban on contributions from all but six foreign governments as his wife launches her second bid for president. Bill Clinton said that the ban was "absolutely not" an acknowledgment that it was a mistake to allow foreign governments to donate to the foundation before.

"It's an acknowledgment that we're going to come as close as we can during her presidential campaign to following the rules we followed when she became secretary of State," he said.

Media reports have revealed, however, the Foundation did in fact continue to accept contributions from foreign governments while Clinton was at State.

The murky reporting requirements for the foundation's donations, coupled with media reports digging in to the ties between those donations and Clinton's work at State, have fueled fierce criticism from Clinton's potential Republican presidential opponents.

Speaking on ABC's "Good Morning America" Monday morning, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina took aim at the foundation during an interview announcing her bid for president.

Clinton "clearly is not trustworthy," Fiorina said. "She has not been transparent about a whole set of things that matter."

During his interview, Bill Clinton brushed off the criticism of the foundation as "political" and part of a "very concerted effort to bring the foundation down."

He said his wife had told him: "No one has ever tried to influence me by helping you."

And if his wife is elected as president, Clinton said he "might" step down as head of the foundation "if I were asked to do something in the public interest that I had an obligation to do. Or I might take less of an executive role."

But his defense of the Clinton Foundation weren't his only comments from Monday morning that are likely to spark controversy. Republican attack group America Rising was already blasting Clinton's comments confirming he'd continue giving paid speeches — which can draw half a million dollars in speaking fees — even as his wife runs for president. "I gotta pay our bills," he said. "And I also give a lot of it to the foundation every year."

I am trying to find a link to a story I hear on the news about the Foundation only giving out 10% of what they receive in donations .....

Clintons have earned more than $30 million since 2014, report shows
By Dan Merica, CNN - Updated 4:50 AM ET, Sat May 16, 2015

Washington (CNN)—Hillary and Bill Clinton have made more than $30 million since January 2014, according to a financial disclosure form provided to CNN and confirmed by a Clinton campaign aide.

Much of that money came from paid speeches that were politically taxing for Hillary Clinton as she toured the country before running for President. The Clintons have given a total of 104 paid speeches since January 2014, netting the couple $25.3 million, according to the form.

Royalties and an advanced payment for Hillary Clinton's memoir "Hard Choices" also brought in more than $5 million, according to the form.

Clinton filed the public financial disclosure report with the Federal Election Commission on Friday, as was required for any candidate who declared their presidential bid before April 15 and did not seek an extension.

Paid speeches by both Bill and Hillary Clinton are detailed in the report. Hillary Clinton spent much of 2014 touring the country on the paid speaking circuit. Almost all of her speeches are domestic, except for a few in Canada and Mexico.

Her highest grossing speech was a $335,000 appearance at Qualcomm Inc. in San Diego in October 2014, according to the form. In total, the former secretary of state delivered 51 paid speeches.

Bill Clinton's speeches are far more international, however. He was paid for a Bank of America speech in London, a food forum appearance in Sweden and a speech to a group of lawyers in the Netherlands. The former President was even paid $175,000 for a speech in Miami where he appeared via satellite.

The forms also detail the Clintons' investments. The couple have between $5 million and $25 million invested in a JP Morgan Chase cash account. They also have between $5 million and $25 million invested in a Vanguard 500 index fund. A campaign aide said the fund was tied to the Standard & Poor's Index and that it had been opened in the last few months.

The aide said that returns from those two funds are not taxed as capital gains and that the couple paid no capital gains tax during the filing period.

The aide added that the Clintons' estimated tax rate for 2014 was over 30%, a number that would be in tax filings that Hillary Clinton's campaign plans to release.

The Clintons' finances have been a political issue since Hillary Clinton left the State Department in 2013. Republicans regularly knocked her paid speeches, arguing that she was out of touch for picking up around $300,000 for her appearances.

Compounding the issue was the fact that Clinton told ABC News last year that she and her husband were "dead broke" when they left the White House, a statement that belied the massive earning power they had and the fact that they were dead broke no longer.

Earlier this month, Bill Clinton told NBC News that he would continue giving paid speeches during his wife's presidential run because he has "got to pay our bills." The comment was widely panned.

Republicans quickly jumped on news of the Clintons' financial disclosure.

"The Clintons' claim that staggering amounts of income from paid speaking fees that raise ethical questions and potential conflicts of interest is simply to 'pay our bills' shows how out-of-touch they've truly become," said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus in a statement to reporters.

Now that she’s announced her candidacy, I’m sure many of you are thrilled you’ll get the chance to vote for the first woman president. Except for the fact that her liberal progressive policies will be at least as damaging as President Obama’s. Well, in case you’re on the fence about Hillary, here are some really great reasons to vote Democrat.

10. Vote Democrat because you can’t wait for college football season to be delayed or cancelled because the student athletes are union employees.

9. Vote Democrat because you believe oil company’s profits of 4 percent on a gallon of gas are obscene, but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15 percent isn’t. 
8. Vote Democrat because you believe the government will do a better job of spending the money you earn than you would.

7. Vote Democrat because Freedom of Speech is fine as long as nobody is offended by it. 
6.Vote Democrat because you’re way too irresponsible to own a gun, and know that your local police are all you need to protect yourself from murderers and thieves. You’re also thankful you have a 911 service that get police to your home in order to identify your body after a home invasion.   5. Vote Democrat because you’re not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy.   4. Vote Democrat because you think illegal aliens have a right to free health care, education, and Social Security benefits, and we should take away the Social Security from those who paid into it. ( and ignore the veterans who need our help ... because, hey, they volunteered. Right ? )

3. Vote Democrat because you believe businesses should NOT be allowed to make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away to the government for redistribution as the Democrats see fit.   2. Vote Democrat because you believe liberal judges need to rewrite the Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get their agendas past the voters.   And the Number One reason to vote Democrat is:  
1. You think that it’s better to pay billions for oil to people who hate us and want us destroyed, but not drill our own because it might upset some endangered beetle, gopher, fish or frog.

10 Reasons Why You Should Vote Republican.

by LaFeminista .

1. You want to finance the wealthy?

You think the banking bailout wasn't enough for the elite? They need tax breaks to invest more in the developing world so their companies become more profitable? Pleas give them tax cuts to do so.

Do you want to decrease unemployment overseas, give corporations tax cuts and breaks to finance their move to the land of cheap labor of their choice? So what if the workers are to young or kept in dormitories and the conditions resemble those of forced labor. You really want that stuff to be so cheap that you can afford it on the unemployment line? Well then:

Vote Republican

2. You believe victims of crime are whiners?

Two wrongs make a right?

Women who are raped and become pregnant should be forced to carry the baby of a crime?

That those complaining of sexual and moral abuse at work are just lazy and have no right to be treated equally at the workplace?

Vote Republican.
.

3. You believe government services are a waste?

That the fire department, police, schools and hospitals are a drain on the economy we cannot afford. That only the private sector could provide these at an affordable rate, and so what if you cant afford it?

That protecting the environment serves no purpose and is a drain on corporate reserves when the are forced to abide by the minimum guidelines? You believe that market forces are enough to prevent poisonous baby food?

You believe tearing apart mountains or flooding the sea with crude oil are all just part of a viable business model?

Vote Republican

4. You believe whites are the victim of racism?

That this is your country and you want it back, and you believe the days of slavery made you freer? You need someone to look down upon because your life is crap? You need to blame someone else for your own failure to compete in an open market and its all because minorities have some legal protection? You believe that illegal immigrants are taking your jobs away but if you were offered the same working conditions you would run away screaming?

Vote Republican.

5. You don't believe in social programs?

Well Medicare, Social Security, and SCHIP are drains on those who can afford not to need them. So they should be privatized and hence only serve those that can afford them in the first place. Just think of all that extra money in the stock market you can cheer it volatile rise and spectacular collapse. heck that's the free market for you, so what if the big boys stole all your cash thats the American dream right there! Love it?

Vote Republican.

6. It's not what you do but what you say that counts?

That even if you are a total sleazeball but say the right things all will be forgiven. That you can lie and steal and waste tax payers money so thoroughly yet claim still to be fiscally conservative with a straight face, and that you can believe and admire others who do the same thing?

Vote Republican

7. Affordable health care is an affront to sanity

It was much better when the insurance companies could cover whom they liked. The rate hikes every so often filled you with joy? That only those with the resources should have access to what you believe was the best service in the world despite all evidence to the contrary?

Vote Republican.

8. Rules are only for poor people?

You believe that making the rich even richer is part of the American dream even though you are more likely only to get there if you win the state lottery? You believe that by supporting the grotesquely wealthy is your sure way into nirvana, and you will protect them come hell or high water even though they laugh at you?

Vote Republican

9. You believe we are on the road to socialism?

The only way to stop this is to hand over government to the corporations and that democratically elected politicians should bow to the will of the very few?

The only good government is one that doesn't interfere with profit taking and is better neither seen or heard? That this rule by the elite is the way to go?

Vote Republican.

10. Your own freedoms are best guaranteed by removing the rights of others?

You believe that LGBT folk don't deserve the same rights as anyone else since this would infringe if not totally destroy your own, it would in fact cause you deep an abiding pain?

You believe that the freedom to worship is a christian right, and any other religion is just plain un-American, and Muslims have a special right to be hounded no matter what? You believe that to avoid the imposition of Sharia law one must impose fundamentalist christian doctrine first by applying old testament laws?

Vote republican.

there's a couple of ways the media can handle hillary clinton's bid to become our nation's president. the first is dishonestly. they can give her legitimacy as the former first lady of arkansas and the white-house. a former state senator and secretary of state. or, they can cover it honestly and before each time they mention her bid for presidency, remind viewers about the ruthless way she went after political enemies and her husband's former lovers.

they can remind their readers and viewers about her promise 'to answer that 3:00 am phone call' when our men and women abroad were in trouble and how when that call came for our ambassador, chris stevens and other military and cia personnel...she didn't and they died. they can and should remind everyone how she handled our nation's affairs while secretary of state where she disobeyed direct orders from her boss, the president to not hire a former crony (she did through her foundation) and to turn over all records when her tenure as secretary of state was over...she didn't.

instead, we find that she was running 'the people's business' on her own personal server at home and to date...still refuses to turn over the server or any related emails that rightfully belong to 'we the people'. finally, they should report on how her 'non-profit' foundation was anything but non-profit for bill and hillary clinton but instead a criminal enterprise where they used their connections and power as former president and current secretary of state respectively to gain millions upon millions of dollars for themselves from foreign nations. yes, if the media were being honest, they would report the truth about hillary clinton rather than pretending that she is a legitimate presidential candidate instead of the yet to be convicted criminal that she really and truly is.

If Hillary makes it to the White House, so will Huma Abedin

If the phone rings at 3 a.m. in the Hillary Clinton White House, the person answering reportedly will be Huma Abedin, her “body woman.”

Abedin was “the only official channel to Clinton over the past year” and has been “elevated to the most senior member of Clinton’s old guard,” Politico.com’s Annie Karni states.

“Huma’s influence is so pervasive, and Hillary’s dependence on her so total, that it is expected she will have her own bedroom upstairs in the White House,” a Clinton associate told OrbMagazine’s Richard Turley. “After 20 years as Hillary’s gatekeeper, no one else could screen the calls and decide who gets access as ably as she does.”

Orb predicts Clinton, in emulation of her hero Eleanor Roosevelt, will install Huma in the second-floor bedroom occupied during the FDR administration by Lorena Hickok, “the journalist who was Mrs. Roosevelt’s soul mate and intimate companion.”

Clinton slams Republicans on Trump
21 hours ago

Washington (AFP) - US Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton slammed Republicans for not responding "immediately" to halt Donald Trump's divisive comments on Mexican immigrants, but stopped short of a full-out rebuke of the bombastic candidate. "I'm very disappointed in those comments," Clinton said during an interview aired on CNN on Sunday.

"I feel very bad, and very disappointed with him, and with the Republican party for not responding immediately and saying 'Enough, stop it,'" Clinton said.

Trump, who donated to Clinton's Senate campaign as well as the Clinton Foundation, has been defending his recent statements on Mexican immigrants across several rallies, including one in Phoenix on Saturday evening that drew thousands.

At a gathering Friday he doubled down on his controversial claim that Mexico is sending criminals to the United States, which he first uttered when he launched his White House campaign in mid-June.

But he also insisted he was misrepresented, and really likes Mexico and Mexicans.

Clinton said Republicans were all in the same "general area" on immigration.

"They don't want to provide a path to citizenship, they range across a spectrum of being either grudgingly welcome or hostile toward immigrants," she said.

The billionaire tycoon's caustic comments have sparked immigration debates and triggered questions about the braggadocio of a candidate unafraid to disparage fellow Republicans, and whether it hurts the party's chances in 2016.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, himself a 2016 presidential contender, told CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday about a private phone call by Republican party chairman Reince Priebus, in which he asked Trump to tone down his rhetoric, was not enough.

A public statement is "not only incumbent upon the chairman, but anyone in a responsible position with the Republican party," Graham said.

"To say that all the 11 million illegal immigrants for the most part are rapists, and drug dealers, is not only offensive at every level, you're telling the Hispanic community, who are friends, neighbors, and relatives of illegal immigrant population exactly what we think of you," Graham said.

"For us to win a national election, we have to do better with Hispanics and for us to have the moral authority as a party to govern a great nation, we have to reject this demagoguery," he added.

Meanwhile, Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina waded into the debate on ABC's "This Week."

"Donald Trump taps into an anger that I hear every day. People are angry that a commonsense thing like securing the border or ending sanctuary cities is somehow considered extreme. It's not extreme, it's commonsense," she said.

Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton's State Department
By David Sirota - Andrew Perez  on May 26 2015

Even by the standards of arms deals between the United States and Saudi Arabia, this one was enormous. A consortium of American defense contractors led by Boeing would deliver $29 billion worth of advanced fighter jets to the United States' oil-rich ally in the Middle East.

Israeli officials were agitated, reportedly complaining to the Obama administration that this substantial enhancement to Saudi air power risked disrupting the region's fragile balance of power. The deal appeared to collide with the State Department’s documented concerns about the repressive policies of the Saudi royal family.

But now, in late 2011, Hillary Clinton’s State Department was formally clearing the sale, asserting that it was in the national interest. At a press conference in Washington to announce the department’s approval, an assistant secretary of state, Andrew Shapiro, declared that the deal had been “a top priority” for Clinton personally. Shapiro, a longtime aide to Clinton since her Senate days, added that the “U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army have excellent relationships in Saudi Arabia.”

These were not the only relationships bridging leaders of the two nations. In the years before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia contributed at least $10 million to the Clinton Foundation, the philanthropic enterprise she has overseen with her husband, former president Bill Clinton. Just two months before the deal was finalized, Boeing -- the defense contractor that manufactures one of the fighter jets the Saudis were especially keen to acquire, the F-15 -- contributed $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation, according to a company press release.

The Saudi deal was one of dozens of arms sales approved by Hillary Clinton’s State Department that placed weapons in the hands of governments that had also donated money to the Clinton family philanthropic empire, an International Business Times investigation has found.

Under Clinton's leadership, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation, according to an IBTimes analysis of State Department and foundation data. That figure -- derived from the three full fiscal years of Clinton’s term as Secretary of State (from October 2010 to September 2012) -- represented nearly double the value of American arms sales made to the those countries and approved by the State Department during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.

The Clinton-led State Department also authorized $151 billion of separate Pentagon-brokered deals for 16 of the countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation, resulting in a 143 percent increase in completed sales to those nations over the same time frame during the Bush administration. These extra sales were part of a broad increase in American military exports that accompanied Obama’s arrival in the White House. The 143 percent increase in U.S. arms sales to Clinton Foundation donors compares to an 80 percent increase in such sales to all countries over the same time period.

American defense contractors also donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and in some cases made personal payments to Bill Clinton for speaking engagements. Such firms and their subsidiaries were listed as contractors in $163 billion worth of Pentagon-negotiated deals that were authorized by the Clinton State Department between 2009 and 2012.

The State Department formally approved these arms sales even as many of the deals enhanced the military power of countries ruled by authoritarian regimes whose human rights abuses had been criticized by the department. Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar all donated to the Clinton Foundation and also gained State Department clearance to buy caches of American-made weapons even as the department singled them out for a range of alleged ills, from corruption to restrictions on civil liberties to violent crackdowns against political opponents.

As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton also accused some of these countries of failing to marshal a serious and sustained campaign to confront terrorism. In a December 2009 State Department cable published by Wikileaks, Clinton complained of “an ongoing challenge to persuade Saudi officials to treat terrorist financing emanating from Saudi Arabia as a strategic priority.” She declared that “Qatar's overall level of CT cooperation with the U.S. is considered the worst in the region.” She said the Kuwaiti government was “less inclined to take action against Kuwait-based financiers and facilitators plotting attacks.” She noted that “UAE-based donors have provided financial support to a variety of terrorist groups.” All of these countries donated to the Clinton Foundation and received increased weapons export authorizations from the Clinton-run State Department.

Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Clinton Foundation did not respond to questions from the IBTimes.

In all, governments and corporations involved in the arms deals approved by Clinton’s State Department have delivered between $54 million and $141 million to the Clinton Foundation as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments to the Clinton family, according to foundation and State Department records. The Clinton Foundation publishes only a rough range of individual contributors’ donations, making a more precise accounting impossible.

Winning Friends, Influencing Clintons

Under federal law, foreign governments seeking State Department clearance to buy American-made arms are barred from making campaign contributions -- a prohibition aimed at preventing foreign interests from using cash to influence national security policy. But nothing prevents them from contributing to a philanthropic foundation controlled by policymakers.

Just before Hillary Clinton became Secretary of State, the Clinton Foundation signed an agreement generally obligating it to disclose to the State Department increases in contributions from its existing foreign government donors and any new foreign government donors. Those increases were to be reviewed by an official at the State Department and “as appropriate” the White House counsel’s office. According to available disclosures, officials at the State Department and White House raised no issues about potential conflicts related to arms sales.

During Hillary Clinton’s 2009 Senate confirmation hearings, Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., urged the Clinton Foundation to “forswear” accepting contributions from governments abroad. “Foreign governments and entities may perceive the Clinton Foundation as a means to gain favor with the secretary of state,” he said. The Clintons did not take Lugar’s advice. In light of the weapons deals flowing to Clinton Foundation donors, advocates for limits on the influence of money on government action now argue that Lugar was prescient in his concerns.

“The word was out to these groups that one of the best ways to gain access and influence with the Clintons was to give to this foundation,” said Meredith McGehee, policy director at the Campaign Legal Center, an advocacy group that seeks to tighten campaign finance disclosure rules. “This shows why having public officials, or even spouses of public officials, connected with these nonprofits is problematic.”

Hillary Clinton’s willingness to allow those with business before the State Department to finance her foundation heightens concerns about how she would manage such relationships as president, said Lawrence Lessig, the director of Harvard University’s Safra Center for Ethics.

“These continuing revelations raise a fundamental question of judgment,” Lessig told IBTimes. “Can it really be that the Clintons didn't recognize the questions these transactions would raise? And if they did, what does that say about their sense of the appropriate relationship between private gain and public good?”

National security experts assert that the overlap between the list of Clinton Foundation donors and those with business before the the State Department presents a troubling conflict of interest.

While governments and defense contractors may not have made donations to the Clinton Foundation exclusively to influence arms deals, they were clearly “looking to build up deposits in the 'favor bank' and to be well thought of,” said Gregory Suchan, a 34-year State Department veteran who helped lead the agency’s oversight of arms transfers under the Bush administration.

As Hillary Clinton presses a campaign for the presidency, she has confronted sustained scrutiny into her family’s personal and philanthropic dealings, along with questions about whether their private business interests have colored her exercise of public authority. As IBTimes previously reported, Clinton switched from opposing an American free trade agreement with Colombia to supporting it after a Canadian energy and mining magnate with interests in that South American country contributed to the Clinton Foundation. IBTimes’ review of the Clintons’ annual financial disclosures also revealed that 13 companies lobbying the State Department paid Bill Clinton $2.5 million in speaking fees while Hillary Clinton headed the agency.

Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton's State Department
By David Sirota - Andrew Perez  on May 26 2015 Part II

The State Department does not disclose which individual companies are involved in direct commercial sales, but its disclosure documents reveal that countries that donated to the Clinton Foundation saw a combined $75 billion increase in authorized commercial military sales under the three full fiscal years Clinton served, as compared to the first three full fiscal years of Bush’s second term.

The Clinton Foundation has not released an exact timetable of its donations, making it impossible to know whether money from foreign governments and defense contractors came into the organization before or after Hillary Clinton approved weapons deals that involved their interests. But news reports document that at least seven foreign governments that received State Department clearance for American arms did donate to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary: Algeria, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Thailand, Norway and Australia.

Sales Flowed Despite Human Rights Concerns

Questions about the nexus of arms sales and Clinton Foundation donors stem from the State Department’s role in reviewing the export of American-made weapons. The agency is charged with both licensing direct commercial sales by U.S. defense contractors to foreign governments and also approving Pentagon-brokered sales to those governments. Those powers are enshrined in a federal law that specifically designates the secretary of state as “responsible for the continuous supervision and general direction of sales” of arms, military hardware and services to foreign countries. In that role, Hillary Clinton was empowered to approve or reject deals for a broad range of reasons, from national security considerations to human rights concerns.

In its 2010 Human Rights Report, Clinton’s State Department inveighed against Algeria’s government for imposing “restrictions on freedom of assembly and association” tolerating “arbitrary killing,” “widespread corruption,” and a “lack of judicial independence.” The report said the Algerian government “used security grounds to constrain freedom of expression and movement.”

That year, the Algerian government donated $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation and its lobbyists met with the State Department officials who oversee enforcement of human rights policies. Clinton’s State Department the next year approved a one-year 70 percent increase in military export authorizations to the country. The increase included authorizations of almost 50,000 items classified as “toxicological agents, including chemical agents, biological agents and associated equipment” after the State Department did not authorize the export of any of such items to Algeria in the prior year.

During Clinton’s tenure, the State Department authorized at least $2.4 billion of direct military hardware and services sales to Algeria -- nearly triple such authorizations over the last full fiscal years during the Bush administration. The Clinton Foundation did not disclose Algeria’s donation until this year -- a violation of the ethics agreement it entered into with the Obama administration.

The monarchy in Qatar had similarly been chastised by the State Department for a raft of human rights abuses. But that country donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was running the State Department. During the three full budgetary years of her tenure, Qatar saw a 14-fold increase in State Department authorizations for direct commercial sales of military equipment and services, as compared to the same time period in Bush’s second term. The department also approved the Pentagon’s separate $750 million sale of multi-mission helicopters to Qatar. That deal would additionally employ as contractors three companies that have all supported the Clinton Foundation over the years: United Technologies, Lockheed Martin and General Electric.

Clinton foundation donor countries that the State Department criticized for human rights violations and that received weapons export authorizations did not respond to IBTimes’ questions.

That group of arms manufacturers -- along with Clinton Foundation donors Boeing, Honeywell, Hawker Beechcraft and their affiliates -- were together listed as contractors in 114 such deals while Clinton was secretary of state. NBC put Chelsea Clinton on its payroll as a network correspondent in November 2011, when it was still 49 percent owned by General Electric. A spokesperson for General Electric did not respond to questions from IBTimes.

The other companies all asserted that their donations had nothing to do with the arms export deals. “Our contributions have aligned with our longstanding philanthropic commitments,” said Honeywell spokesperson Rob Ferris.

"Even The Appearance Of A Conflict"

During her Senate confirmation proceedings in 2009, Hillary Clinton declared that she and her husband were “committed to ensuring that his work does not present a conflict of interest with the duties of Secretary of State.” She pledged “to protect against even the appearance of a conflict of interest between his work and the duties of the Secretary of State” and said that “in many, if not most cases, it is likely that the Foundation or President Clinton will not pursue an opportunity that presents a conflict.”

Even so, Bill Clinton took in speaking fees reaching $625,000 at events sponsored by entities that were dealing with Hillary Clinton’s State Department on weapons issues.

In 2011, for example, the former president was paid $175,000 by the Kuwait America Foundation to be the guest of honor and keynote speaker at its annual awards gala, which was held at the home of the Kuwaiti ambassador. Ben Affleck spoke at the event, which featured a musical performance by Grammy-award winner Michael Bolton. The gala was emceed by Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe show. Boeing was listed as a sponsor of the event, as were the embassies of the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar -- the latter two of which had donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.

The speaking fee from the Kuwait America Foundation to Bill Clinton was paid in the same time frame as a series of deals Hillary Clinton’s State Department was approving between the Kuwaiti government and Boeing. Months before the gala, the Department of Defense announced that Boeing would be the prime contractor on a $693 million deal, cleared by Hillary Clinton’s State Department, to provide the Kuwaiti government with military transport aircraft. A year later, a group sponsored in part by Boeing would pay Bill Clinton another $250,000 speaking fee.

“Boeing has sponsored this major travel event, the Global Business Travel Association, for several years, regardless of its invited speakers,” Gordon Johndroe, a Boeing spokesperson, told IBTimes. Johndroe said Boeing’s support for the Clinton Foundation was “a transparent act of compassion and an investment aimed at aiding the long-term interests and hopes of the Haitian people” following a devastating earthquake.

Boeing was one of three companies that helped deliver money personally to Bill Clinton while benefiting from weapons authorizations issued by Hillary Clinton’s State Department. The others were Lockheed and the financial giant Goldman Sachs.

Lockheed is a member of the American Chamber of Commerce in Egypt, which paid Bill Clinton $250,000 to speak at an event in 2010. Three days before the speech, Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved two weapons export deals in which Lockheed was listed as the prime contractor. Over the course of 2010, Lockheed was a contractor on 17 Pentagon-brokered deals that won approval from the State Department. Lockheed told IBTimes that its support for the Clinton Foundation started in 2010, while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state.

“Lockheed Martin has periodically supported one individual membership in the Clinton Global Initiative since 2010,” said company spokesperson Katherine Trinidad. “Membership benefits included attendance at CGI annual meetings, where we participated in working groups focused on STEM, workforce development and advanced manufacturing.”

In April 2011, Goldman Sachs paid Bill Clinton $200,000 to speak to “approximately 250 high level clients and investors” in New York, according to State Department records obtained by Judicial Watch. Two months later, the State Department approved a $675 million foreign military sale involving Hawker Beechcraft -- a company that was then part-owned by Goldman Sachs. As part of the deal, Hawker Beechcraft would provide support to the government of Iraq to maintain a fleet of aircraft used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. Goldman Sachs has also contributed at least $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation, according to donation records.

“There is absolutely no connection among all the points that you have raised regarding our firm,” said Andrew Williams, a spokesperson for Goldman Sachs.

Federal records show that ethics staffers at the State Department approved the payments to Bill Clinton from Goldman Sachs, and the Lockheed- and Boeing-sponsored groups without objection, even though the firms had major stakes in the agency’s weapons export decisions.

Stephen Walt, a Harvard University professor of international affairs, told IBTimes that the intertwining financial relationships between the Clintons, defense contractors and foreign governments seeking weapons approvals is “a vivid example of a very big problem -- the degree to which conflicts of interest have become endemic.”

“It has troubled me all along that the Clinton Foundation was not being more scrupulous about who it would take money from and who it wouldn’t,” he said. “American foreign policy is better served if people responsible for it are not even remotely suspected of having these conflicts of interest. When George Marshall was secretary of state, nobody was worried about whether or not he would be distracted by donations to a foundation or to himself. This wasn’t an issue. And that was probably better.”

and let's not forget how she claims to have clean hands despite all the coincidences pertaining to the clinton foundation dealings and state department dealings....and the high prices paid to bill for his speeches or just showing his face.

how can someone be dirt poor, turn around and purchase over $2 millions worth of homes? maybe she was comparing herself to trump.....but i don't know anyone who would mind being dirt poor like she was

why is she for making criminals (anyone who breaks the law is a criminal) citizens? illegals are criminals but there are some who are minor but then there are convicted felons who get deported multiple times...and then there are those who are convicted and then released to our towns, cities, states. democrats want to cuddle, kiss and be their mommies and daddies because these poor illegals have nothing. hmmmm how can people so dirt poor pay coyotes thousands of dollars to get them into the US? why do they care more about these people than about americans? I recall one mother in chicago asking "what about my kids?".

clinton foundation was created to help those who needed help. not long ago the clinton foundation took donors on a safari. hmmm i guess that helped the safari company. I wonder what that cost? didn't bill say he only donates 10% of his speaking fees because he needs the rest of the money to pay his bills? hillary gives a little bit more but it sure isn't the impression they tried to portray as if all speaking fees were donated.

in conclusion, if hillary wants to dictate, chastise, denigrate anyone, she should make sure that her hands are clean...along with her democrats supporters

National security expert: Clinton promised to silence those critical of Islam
July 18, 2015

In a recently-released book, national security expert Stephen Coughlin said that while serving as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton promised Islamic countries the U.S. government would intimidate Americans who speak out or criticize Islam, the Daily Caller reported Saturday. The 2011 closed-door meeting with Islamic countries lasted three days and, the Daily Caller said, puts Clinton's "willingness to defend the Constitution in serious doubt."

According to Coughlin, Clinton told representatives of the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation the U.S. government would “use some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming” to intimidate and silence those who criticize Islam or Muhammad. At the time of the conference, we reported that Traditional Values Coalition President Andrea Lafferty was identified as a "security threat" to Clinton and was even detained by her security personnel.

Lafferty was one of those attempting to monitor the meeting. It seems Lafferty had good reason to be concerned, as Coughlin notes in his book.

“An official of the United States, in an official communiqué, went to a foreign land to commit to a foreign leader that the United States Government would engage in the extra-legal practice of intimidating American citizens in the exercise of what is otherwise their protected free speech rights under the First Amendment,” he told the Daily Caller. Clinton's move is discussed in his book, “Catastrophic Failure: Blindfolding America in the Face of Jihad."

“If her willingness to sell out Americans First Amendment rights to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation by categorizing as ‘hate speech’ anything that is deemed offensive to Islam is any indication, she may be the least qualified candidate to support and defend the Constitution,” he added. Coughlin, the Daily Caller said, is an attorney, a decorated intelligence officer and an expert on Islamic law and terrorism who consulted the Joint Chiefs of Staff for about a decade following the 9/11 terror attack. The Muslim Brotherhood, Rachel Stoltzfoos said, "allegedly convinced the White House to ban him and 'outlaw' his briefings."

Coughlin argues that the OIC has led efforts to bring the United States and other countries in line with speech standards of Muslim nations. Initially, the efforts would focus on first by condemning speech critical of Islam and eventually criminalizing speech such as the depictions of Muhammad that prompted two Islamist gunmen to attack a conference in Garland, Texas.

“Over the last few years, major left wing and Islamists organizations have been working diligently to reframe free speech in an oppositional narrative that distinguishes sanctioned speech, designated free speech, from hate speech in a long term campaign to brand nonconforming speech as hate speech that is at first to be ridiculed and then criminalized,” he said. The Clinton campaign, Stoltzfoos added, did not respond to her request for comments.

This news prompted Senator Charles Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to send a letter to FBI Director James Comey demanding to know what the FBI was doing to secure the classified information in Mr. Kendall's possession.

Half of Clintons’ Charitable Giving in 2014 Went to Their Own Foundation
Tax returns open Clinton up to charges of hypocrisy from critics

BY: Alana Goodman - August 4, 2015

Half of Bill and Hillary Clinton’s charitable giving last year went to the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, according to a review of the latest financial disclosures from their private foundation.

The Clintons earned more than $28 million in 2014 and claimed around $3 million in income as charitable tax deductions, according to tax returns released by Hillary Clinton’s campaign last Friday. The campaign emphasized Clinton’s charitable giving in a press statement, saying that it “represented 10.8 percent” of her income in 2014. But roughly half of that money—$1.8 million—appears to have been channeled to the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

According to the tax returns, the Clintons gave $3 million in 2014 to the Clinton Family Foundation, a small private foundation that the family uses as a pass-through to other charities. Records show the CFF disbursed $3.7 million in 2014, including $1.8 million to the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.

That contribution was the family’s largest by a significant margin that year. They made numerous smaller donations to other groups, including the University of Arkansas, the American Ireland Fund, and the American Friends of the Peres Center.

The $1.8 million contribution is also by far the largest annual donation the Clintons have made to the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation in recent years. In the past five years combined, they gave a total of $1.1 million to the organization. Their last large donation was in 2008, when they gave $1 million.

While the Clintons do not receive direct compensation from the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, they do benefit from travel, and many of their longtime aides have served on its payroll.

The foundation has come under fire for its unusual structure. Charity Navigator put the Clinton Foundation on its “Watch List” earlier this year because it said the organization did not meet its criteria due to its “atypical business model.”

The group is also under review from the Better Business Bureau, after failing to meet its transparency standards in the past.

Clinton’s newly released tax returns, which show that she and her husband have earned $140 million since 2007 could bolster Republican efforts to frame the former secretary of state as a wealthy elitist who is out of touch with average Americans. Vox reported Monday that Clinton has paid more in taxes since 2007 — $57.5 million — than GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush has earned in his entire career spanning back to 1981.

The returns have also opened her up to charges of hypocrisy from critics.

Americans for Tax Reform slammed Clinton on Tuesday for forming an “Article 4 trust,” which the group said appears to be a method to avoid paying estate taxes—a tax Clinton has supported.

“Clinton has consistently voted for the Death Tax throughout her time in public office and forcefully condemned attempts to lower it,” ATF said in a statement. “But when it comes to her own finances, it is a different story. The newly released tax returns buttress earlier reports outlining the ways Clinton uses financial planning strategies that shield her Death Tax liability.”

Top Secret Emails Stored In Hillary Clinton’s Private Server
Casey Harper - 6:37 PM 08/11/2015
Turns out the server Democratic presidential frontrunner and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton once said held no classified emails actually held top secret classified emails, according to the Intelligence Community inspector general.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley said the IG updated Congress on the emails, saying at least two emails stored on Clinton’s private server were Top Secret/SCI level.

The IG had already informed Congress that the server contained classified emails, but the level of classification on these specific emails is a new development that will further intensify the investigation. http://dailycaller.com/2015/07/24/report-two-inspectors-general-seek-criminal-probe-of-hillary-clinton-email-use/

Grassley called out the FBI and Department of State for not doing enough to get Clinton’s emails.

“I appreciate the Intelligence Community Inspector General providing more information in response to the questions that many members of Congress and the public have regarding the classified emails that were on former Secretary of State Clinton’s private server and on a thumb drive with her private attorney,” Grassley said in a statement. “This information revealed by the inspector general makes it even more important that the FBI and the State Department secure these documents. To date, the two agencies most critical to securing this information have failed to assure the American people that they are taking the necessary steps to protect America’s national security interests.”

FBI Seizes Hillary Clinton’s ‘Top Secret’ Emails

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is now in possession of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s emails from her tenure as Secretary of State.

Seven emails are currently being reviewed by an inter-governmental agency, led by the FBI, to determine whether or not they are classified.

The two “Top Secret” emails were classified as top secret by the CIA, according to information circulated by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).

Grassley said in a statement that: “two of the four emails that the office had previously described as ‘above Secret’ were, in fact, classified at the Top Secret/SCI level. According to the Intelligence Community Inspector General, the other two emails, which intelligence community officials said were classified by the State Department at the time they were sent, are being reviewed by the State Department to determine what the current appropriate level of classification should be.”

But two other emails have been referred back to the State Department for consideration of their classified status, a government official tells Breitbart News exclusively on condition of anonymity.

That means that the State Department still has control over whether or not those two emails will ever be released to the public.

Additionally, three more emails could be classified. Two of those emails were classified at the time but are believed to no longer be classified, the government official told Breitbart News.

Clinton attorney David Kendall had been holding on to two thumb drives containing Clinton emails. Right now, it is unclear why the two emails were marked “Top Secret.”

Judiciary Committee staff has yet to review the emails in question, a staffer told Breitbart News.

Over the weekend, a federal judge in the nonprofit group Judicial Watch’s lawsuit against Clinton ordered Clinton and her top aides not to delete any emails after an attorney for former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills said that Mills planned to destroy her existing emails.

No Shame: Hillary Clinton Just MOCKED the American People with This ‘Joke’
Written by Michelle Jesse, Associate Editor on August 15, 2015

By any measure, the concerns about Hillary Clinton’s handling of top-secret information while Secretary of State are very serious — indeed, dead serious, considering the American lives that may be at risk due to mishandling of top-secret national security information.

The Democrat candidate for president herself, however, doesn’t seem to be taking this very seriously at all. Continued lies, foot-dragging and general obstruction of investigation into the matter show Mrs. Clinton’s disdain for both the investigation and the American people. We just reported here Clinton’s latest nose-thumbing as she touted her “cooperation” while handing over a blank server to the FBI.

Now, it seems Mrs. Clinton has gone from passive-aggressively deriding the investigation and the American people to mocking them outright. Take a look at this 20-second video, brought to us by Weasel Zippers: http://www.weaselzippers.us/231693-hillary-jokes-about-fbi-investigation-i-love-snapchat-because-those-messages-disappear-all-by-themselves/

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LK1A0od12CY&feature=player_embedded

The fact that Mrs. Clinton is now joking about this outright is perhaps the most bold demonstration yet of her feeling that she’s untouchable by the law. She seems to believe she can continue to violate law after law, lie, obstruct justice and just carry on her merry way to the White House — even making a joke about the attempts to uncover the truth about what appear to be very serious violations of our nation’s national security.

Sadly, so far, Mrs. Clinton has been right in her assessment that she’s untouchable, as she appears to be the one dictating the speed and depth of this investigation so far. This must change — and fast. It’s simply unacceptable.

And for those who are still supporting this candidate for president, consider this: Mrs. Clinton is laughing at you, too.

She is laughing at the fact that she can so egregiously violate laws — intended to protect our national security, YOUR security — for her own personal protection. And while if you were to do such a thing, you’d be punished, she floats on above the law.

By supporting Hillary Clinton as president, you are supporting a ruling class in America, while you remain a mere serf.

Is that what you really want?

All the Secretary’s Women
The Clinton email cover up keeps unraveling, thanks to the courts.
August 13, 2015

Hillary Clinton has made a career of stiff-arming Congress, inspectors general and the press. So it looks like it’s up to the courts and law enforcement to get to the bottom of her email scandal.

That’s the real meaning of this week’s news in the email case, as the Clinton stonewall becomes harder to sustain. Mrs. Clinton is turning over to the FBI the private server she used to conduct government business while Secretary of State, as well as three thumb drives containing her government-related email. The Clinton campaign won’t say she did this voluntarily, or in response to an FBI demand. And the FBI won’t say why it sought the server. But the handover follows news that top-secret information traveled across her private system, despite her previous denials.

Meanwhile, federal Judge Emmet Sullivan has now verified that Mrs. Clinton will not certify that she has handed over to the State Department all of her work-related records. Two of her closest aides are also dodging Judge Sullivan’s request to hand over their work-related documents to State, and we now know that one of Mrs. Clinton’s aides was using the unsecured Clinton system for government work.

Judge Sullivan is overseeing a Freedom of Information Act case brought in 2013 by Judicial Watch. The watchdog group sought documents relating to the employment of Huma Abedin, who was allowed to work outside the government even as she served as a top Clinton State Department aide. State told Judicial Watch in 2014 it had turned over everything relevant, and the group then dropped its lawsuit.

But the news of previously undisclosed Clinton emails convinced Judge Sullivan in June to take the rare step of reopening the Abedin case. To ascertain whether State was finally searching through every record, he ordered State on July 31 to request that Mrs. Clinton and two of her aides—Ms. Abedin and Cheryl Mills—confirm under penalty of perjury that they had produced all government records in their possession, and that they describe their use of Mrs. Clinton’s server for government business. That response deadline was last Friday.

Mrs. Clinton’s reaction to the deadline was a classic. “While I do not know what information may be ‘responsive’ for purposes of this law suit, I have directed that all my emails on clintonemail.com in my custody, that were or potentially were federal records be provided to the Department of State, and on information and belief, this has been done,” she wrote in a declaration submitted to the court. Translation: If everything wasn’t turned over, it’s not her fault.

But her declaration to the court did disclose that Mrs. Abedin had an “account” on Mrs. Clinton’s server “which was used at times for government business.” The admission that her aides were also using her server demolishes Mrs. Clinton’s previous claim that she used this server for personal “convenience.” She was really running a parallel mini-State email operation.

Both aides were also supposed to submit declarations that they had turned over all government records to the State Department. Instead, they blew off Judge Sullivan and directed their attorneys to explain that they are still searching their private records and in time will get around to supplying them. This is remarkable given that State first requested they turn over any work-related records in March.

Mrs. Clinton and her lawyers have been careful to never use the word “delete” regarding her emails. Mrs. Clinton said that she “chose not to keep” her yoga diary and the rest. Her lawyer, David Kendall, has said emails no longer exist on the server. But do those emails still exist in another location—on a hard drive or thumb drive—or in someone else’s possession? The FBI has the forensic ability to retrieve the emails if they still exist, assuming that the agency isn’t merely going through the pro-forma motions.

Keep in mind that none of this would have happened without Judge Sullivan enforcing the freedom-of-information law. Credit as well goes to federal Judge Rudolph Contreras for ordering the State Department to start producing the Clinton records, and to federal Judge Richard Leon for rapping State over its delays producing the emails. Congressman Trey Gowdy’s House committee on Benghazi has also been indispensable in pressing the server issue.

***

The Clinton campaign released two memos to its supporters this week, telling them to calm down, the email storm is merely the Republican attack machine at work, and Mrs. Clinton is still beating GOP candidates head to head in the polls. If they can tough it out until Election Day, they think they’ll win.

But the federal judiciary isn’t partisan, and the real lesson from the email fiasco is that this is how the Clintons act when they’re in power. They play by their own rules, and when they’re caught they stonewall and obfuscate and blame it all on partisanship. Maybe her sinking poll numbers mean that voters are finally catching on.

It looks like Hillary got caught with her pantsuit down…..

New reports reveal that Hillary Clinton requested a book with tips on how to fully delete emails as well as warnings about how to handle emails in case of a subpoena.

News broke late last month that Clinton asked her chief of staff Cheryl Mills in December 2009 if she could borrow “Send: Why People Email So Badly and How to Do It Better,” by David Shipley and Will Schwalbe.

ABC News has since bought a copy of the book and found that chapter six is titled “The Email That Can Land You In Jail.” Inside the chapter is a section called “How to Delete Something So It Stays Deleted.”

“Some people are hoarders, some are checkers,” the book reads. “The main thing to consider is that once you do decide to delete, it’s like taking the garbage from your kitchen and putting it in your hallway. It’s still there.

The book explains how certain programs may be needed to make sure emails are completely erased. It also cautions readers on how deleting emails could make you look guilty if you get subpoenaed.

On page 215, the authors list “Stupid (and Real) Email Phrases That Wound Up in Court.” Number one on the list? “DELETE THIS EMAIL!’ Later, on page 226, the writers warn, “If you’re issued a subpoena, your deletion binge will only make you look guilty.”

The FBI is investigating Hillary Clinton’s email server. The Intelligence Community Inspector General has said that, contrary to Clinton’s previous claims, her email server held not just classified information, but Top Secret/SCI level classified emails.

the server retrieved from NJ - how do we know if that was the server she used in NY? how does anyone know if the hard drive was not destroyed and replaced with a blank? does anyone know where the files from that server were migrated to? if the courts ordered back in march for H's assistants to provide documentation and they have not, why not put them behind bars for contempt? while they are sitting behind bars, the court should order everything that they might have touched confiscated and have them reviewed by an honest party consisting of both parties. their homes should also be searched. how about a reward or rewards to those with legitimate information. did they search her husband's computer since she said she sent him an email even though he denies that. perhaps check out their foundations offices and definitely her lawyer who has information that is classified. she is making a mockery of our laws and us. perhaps she should be on comedy central

"Consider that Abedin worked closely for seven years with a member of the Muslim Brotherhood who financed al-Qaeda in light of the Obama Administration’s foreign policy during the years that Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State. Everyone acknowledges that Abedin and Clinton are extremely close, and that Abedin controls access to Clinton and has tremendous influence over her. Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department was distinguished by the remarkable sight of Egyptian anti-Muslim Brotherhood protestors holding signs denouncing the President of the United States for supporting terrorism, and by the Benghazi debacle, when the Secretary of State sat back and did nothing as jihad terrorists murdered four Americans, including an ambassador.

Is it at all possible that Huma Abedin, whose parents were active in the Brotherhood and who worked for twelve years for a journal closely linked to the Brotherhood, had anything to do with the pro-Muslim Brotherhood orientation of the Obama/Clinton State Department? In today’s poisonous political culture, it isn’t possible even to ask the question without incurring charges of “Islamophobia” – as we saw in 2012, when Representative Michele Bachmann (R-MN) had the temerity to call for an investigation of possible Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the U.S. government."

Want to Know Just How Close the Muslim Brotherhood Is to the Obama Admin?[/
Apr. 26, 2012 1:47pm Tiffany Gabbay

On Wednesday evening, GBTV unveiled a powerful documentary, “Rumors of War III,” exposing how radical Islamists, including the Muslim Brotherhood, are infiltrating American government at its highest levels. Above is a video clip from the program outlining some of the key players involved.

The following is an overview of each of the Islamist figures who have found their place — in some way, shape or form — at the Obama administration’s table.

[B]Arif Alikahn, Former Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Policy Development: Now a Distinguished Visiting Professor of DHS and Counterterrorism at the National Defense University, Alikahn also served as Deputy Mayor for Public Safety for the City of Los Angeles where he reportedly derailed the LAPD’s efforts to monitor the city’s Muslim community — particularly its radical mosques and madrassas where certain 9/11 hijackers were said to have received support. He is affiliated with MPAC, which has called the terrorist group Hezbollah a “liberation movement.”

Salam al-Marayati, Founder and Executive Director of Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC)Want to Know Just How Close the Muslim Brotherhood Is to the Obama Admin?: Marayati is an Iraqi immigrant who drew national attention over a decade ago when then-House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt nominated him to serve on the National Commission on Terrorism. Backlash over al-Marayati’s defense of Hezbollah and other Islamic groups prompted a withdrawal of the nomination. The Center for Security Policy reports that MPAC was formed in 1986 as the Political Action Committee for the Islamic Center for Southern California, one of the largest Wahhabi mosques in the country. While MPAC later fractioned-off, one of the founders of the Islamic Center, Hassan Hathout, was a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood who also spent time in Egyptian prison.

Mohamed Elibiary, Homeland Security Advisory Committee MemberWant to Know Just How Close the Muslim Brotherhood Is to the Obama Admin?: He is the former president of the Freedom and Justice Foundation, which was billed to ”promote a Centrist Public Policy environment in Texas by coordinating the state level government and interfaith community relations for the organized Texas Muslim community.” He spoke at a 2004 conference in Dallas praising the “Great Islamic Visionary” Ayatollah Khomeini. Most recently he is famous for leaking highly sensitive intelligence documents to a media outlet in Texas.

Rashad Hussain, State Department Special Envoy to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation: The Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report uncovered that Hussain spoke at a conference sponsored by the Muslim Brotherhood affiliate, the Association of Muslim Social Scientists. An internal Brotherhood document dubbed the Social Scientists as one of “our organizations and the organizations of our friends.” Hussain also spoke at the Prince Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding of Georgetown University, which reportedly receives Saudi funding and is directed by Muslim Brotherhood advocate, John Esposito. In 2004, Hussain also participated in the Muslim Students Association’s annual conference, a group founded by the Muslim Brotherhood and known as one of its front-groups. The report also asserts that many of the Student Associations’ nearly 600 college chapters “have engaged in extremism and the group closely collaborates with the other Brotherhood fronts.”

Other Brotherhood sympathizers involved in the administration but who tend to travel beneath the radar include:

Imam Mohamed Magid, Homeland Security Countering Violent Extremism Working Group Member : He is a Sudanese-born president for the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) with alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. ISNA’s parent is the Muslim Student Association. ISNA completed a $21 million headquarters in Indianapolis using funds raised in part from Muslim Brotherhood.

Eboo Patel, Obama Administration Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships: Patel spoke at a Muslim Students Association and ISNA convention, appearing on a panel alongside Tariq Ramadan, grandson of the Muslim Brotherhood’s founder, and Siraj Wahhaj, who was named as a possible co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and has defended the convicted WTC bombers. Wahhaj allegedly advocates the Islamic takeover of America.

Huma Abedin, Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: Perhaps most famous for being wife of the disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner, Huma Abedin appears to have family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. In an interview with FrontPageMag, anti-Islamist author Walid Shoebat explained that Huma’s mother, Saleha Abedin, is involved with the Muslim Brotherhood and that Huma’s brother, Hassan, sits in on the board of the Oxford Centre For Islamic Studies (OCIS) where he is a fellow and partners with other board members including “Al-Qaeda associate, Omar Naseef and the notorious Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Youssef Qaradawi; both have been listed as OCIS Trustees

BREAKING NEWS !!! DEMOCRAT PARTY PANICKED AND SCRAMBLING after FBI combing through Clinton's email server, have flagged more than 300 emails that passed through her email account that may have contained classified information. That number is expected to climb, as only 20 percent of roughly 30,000 emails have been screened....

Bob Woodward: Hillary Emails as Bad as 'Nixon Tapes'

Trey Gowdy: Most of Hillary's Email Explanations 'Proven to Be False'

Indications are, ... Clinton will be indicted for passing classified information over her private, non-governmental email server.

Dems 'Approaching Panic' Over Hillary Email Scandal
By Jason Devaney | Monday, 17 Aug 2015 06:09 PM

The Democratic Party is "approaching panic" because of Hillary Clinton's email scandal, leaving it without a strong candidate if she's forced out of the race, Dick Morris tells Newsmax TV.

Morris, a Newsmax TV political analyst and best-selling author of "Power Grab: Obama's Dangerous Plan for a One-Party Nation," appears on "The Hard Line" Monday and tells host Ed Berliner Democrats may be left scrambling for a candidate in next year's presidential election.

"It's approaching panic," Morris says. "It's not like they have a large bench waiting to step in and take over. If Hillary falters, they have a 70-something-year-old Bernie Sanders, then they have an old worn out Joe Biden, and an Elizabeth Warren that won't get into the race and probably is too liberal if she does."

"What do they have? This lack of a bench is very bad when your starter has arm trouble and back trouble and leg trouble and looks like they're headed for the DL."

Clinton has been dogged by a scandal surrounding her use of a private email address and server during her time as secretary of state (2009-2013). Court documents filed Monday showed federal investigators, who are combing through Clinton's email server, have flagged more than 300 emails that passed through her email account that may have contained classified information. That number is expected to climb, as only 20 percent of roughly 30,000 emails have been screened.

Morris thinks the Democrats will have a hard time coming up with an electable candidate.

"They're not on the on deck circle. If you use the metaphor, they're not even on the dugout. In fact, they're not even in the town where the game is being played. It would be a large stretch," Morris says when asked if a younger Democrat could step up and take the reins. "Deval Patrick, the former governor of Massachusetts, Sherrod Brown, a relatively young senator from Ohio, a very radical one. You have a few that are on the wings. Claire McCaskill might, who knows but they're very far from frontline and it would take a real surgeon to bring them forth."

Morris says the other issue is that Clinton won't go away quietly.

"The other problem is that Hillary won't die easily. The lesson of 2008 makes that clear when months after it was clear she was going to lose the nomination, she still ran and Obama at one point said, 'when will this woman go home?'" Morris says. "That's a question everybody is going to be asking and until she actually gets rid of her delegates and says, 'I'm finished' and steps out, you can't move on."

"No quiet persuasion is going to work. What will work is if she gets indicted."

Last week, Morris told Newsmax TV he believes Clinton will be indicted for passing classified information over her private, non-governmental email server.

Side Note Coincidence? Last week the State Dept. was saying there may be a serious breach with the Clinton emails- Over the week-end, Billy Boy played golf with BO... Today the State Dept. came out defending Hilly's email issue- tepidly, but still- This right after it is announced how BO is concentrating on how much money he can raise for his library- and Billy is apparently sitting on a boat load of cash in his foundation.

I didn't used to think this way- but nothing seems like a coincidence to me anymore.

Hillary Clinton Accused Of ‘Victim Blaming’ During Tense Black Lives Matter Meeting
Chuck Ross August 18, 2015

Video from Hillary Clinton’s meeting with Black Lives Matters activists last week in New Hampshire has been released, showing an at-times tense exchange in which the Democratic presidential candidate was accused of “victim blaming.”

Clinton also referred to herself and other whites as “us sinners” during the Aug. 11 meeting with the activists, which was held after Clinton’s speech at a campaign event in Keene.

The group, which consisted of five members of the Black Lives Matter Boston branch, showed up late and were unable to enter the at-capacity venue. But the Clinton campaign arranged for a 15-minute meeting. The activists requested that no members of the media be present, opting instead to film the exchange with Clinton themselves. GOOD Magazine published video of the encounter. http://magazine.good.is/videos/clinton-speaks-blacklivesmatter

Standing toe-to-toe with the former secretary of state, Julius Jones, an organizer with the group’s Worcester branch, told her that she and former President Bill Clinton have been “more responsible than most” for funding mass incarceration in the U.S.

While in office, Bill Clinton enacted harsher prison sentencing measures, built more prisons and hired more cops. Black Lives Matter has blamed that legislation for contributing to the relatively high imprisonment rates for blacks.

Jones asked Clinton to reflect for him on “what in [her] heart has changed” since she and husband Bill supported those laws.

In a brief moment of tension, one of Clinton’s handlers interrupted the conversation to say that the candidate would soon have to end the meeting. Jones pleaded, saying that he and the other organizers had traveled far to confront her on the issues.

Members of other Black Lives Matter chapters have confronted several other candidates. Those encounters went much differently than the organized meeting with Clinton. Last weekend, members of the Seattle chapter stormed the stage at a Bernie Sanders campaign event, forcing the Vermont U.S. senator to leave.

In her encounter with the activists, Clinton was more forceful. While she indicated she supported the group’s overall efforts, she criticized some of its strategy.

“The consciousness-raising, the advocacy, the passion, the youth of your movement is so critical, but now all I’m suggesting is, even for us sinners, find some common ground on agendas that can make a difference right here and now in people’s lives,” Clinton said.

“If you don’t tell black people what we need to do, then we won’t tell you all what you need to do,” Jones said to Clinton.

“I’m not telling you, I’m just telling you to tell me,” Clinton shot back.

“This is and has always been a white problem of violence. There’s not much that we can do to stop the violence against us,” Jones responded as Clinton interjected.

“If that is your position, then I will talk with only to white people about how we are going to deal with very real problems,” she said.

“What you just said was a form of victim-blaming,” said Jones, eliciting a grimace from Clinton. “You were saying what the Black Lives Matter movement needs to do to is change white hearts is to…”

“I don’t believe you change hearts,” Clinton said. “You change laws, you change allocation of resources, you change the way systems operate.”

She argued that if the focus is only on changing hearts, little will get accomplished and “we’ll be back here in 10 years having the same conversation.”

Jones and Daunasia Yancey, who also took part in the exchange with Clinton, appeared on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow show on Monday night to review the confrontation.

Jones said that while he believed that the “encounter was good” because it moved the conversation about race in the U.S. to a newer level, he thought that Clinton “was also ducking personal responsibility for the role that her and her family played” in mass incarceration.

Yancey said that she wasn’t satisfied with Clinton’s responses.

“What we’re looking for from Secretary Clinton is a personal reflection on her responsibility for being part of the cause of this problem that we have today in mass incarceration,” Yancey told Melissa Harris-Perry, who was filling in for Maddow. “So her response really targeting on policy wasn’t sufficient for us.”

Of the encounter at Sanders’ campaign event in Seattle, Jones sided with the activists and claimed that the response from Sanders’ supporters who were critical of the display was evidence that a “covert anti-blackness”

Hillary Clinton to #BlackLivesMatter
“I Don’t Believe You Change Hearts...”

“...you change laws, you change allocation of resources, you change the way systems operate.”

by Gabriel Reilich

http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLUgRTD1mpwSV7arDsfvTHRta0lM0hs8nX&v=1eCraUvIq-s&feature=player_embedded

As recently reported by various news outlets, Hillary Clinton held a closed-door session with five representatives from #BlackLivesMatter last week after the activists were refused access to a campaign event in New Hampshire. GOOD has obtained exclusive video of the exchange between the Democratic candidate and members of the Boston chapter of #BlackLivesMatter, where a somewhat defensive yet candid Clinton responds to several tough questions.

This is the second time in quick succession that #BlackLivesMatter activists have made news with a Democratic candidate for president; earlier Monday, Bernie Sanders tweeted that he would meet with activist DeRay Mckesson and others from the group later this week. That offer came after two Sanders campaign events were disrupted by #BlackLivesMatter protesters. While #BlackLivesMatter representatives insist they intend to push all political candidates to directly address remedies for institutional racism, no member of the crowded Republican field has made an offer to meet with anyone from the group.

At the center of the most tense moments in the New Hampshire meeting is the assertion by #BlackLivesMatter representatives that Clinton must accept some responsibility for supporting policies and legislation that have led to mass incarceration in the United States, particularly the Violent Crime and Law Enforcement Act, passed during President Bill Clinton’s first term.

The act was the largest crime bill in U.S. history, and as the Clinton White House worked to build support for it in 1994, Hillary joined the effort lobbying lawmakers for support. “We need more police. We need more and tougher prison sentences for repeat offenders," she proclaimed at a Women in Policing conference in August of that year. "We need more prisons to keep violent offenders for as long as it takes to keep them off the streets."

The act passed and was signed into law one month later. Federal funding for prisons increased by $19 billion, while funding for public housing funding fell by $17 billion. According to a study by the Justice Policy Institute, during President Bill Clinton's eight years in office, the number of prisoners in federal prisons almost doubled, outstripping the increases over the prior 12 years of Republican administration, while almost 60% of those sent to federal prison during the Clinton years were for drug offenses. The end result: a federal prison population larger than at any other point in American history.

Confronted with this history at the meeting in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton is refreshingly honest and authentic at some moments, and sharply defensive at others. The most uncomfortable: The candidate responds to an activist’s assertion that “this is, and has always been, a white problem of violence,” by suggesting she could talk “only to white people about how we’re going to deal with the very real problems,” a suggestion both Clinton and the activist then acknowledge is not what either want.

When reached for comment, representatives from #BlackLivesMatter made clear their intention: Not to skewer Clinton or any individual politician, but to prompt all politicians to think about and directly address racial injustice in America. As noted in the organization’s recent press release, “Historically, all political parties have participated in the systematic disenfranchisement of Black people. Anti-black racism, especially that sanctioned by the state, has resulted in the loss of healthy and thriving Black life and well-being. Given that, we will continue to hold politicians and political parties accountable for their policies and platforms."

“You have been, in no uncertain way, partially responsible for this," they remind Clinton directly.

Hillary's email firm was run from a loft apartment with its servers in the BATHROOM, raising new questions over security of sensitive messages she held

Democratic White House front-runner used Platte River Networks of Denver, Colorado, to maintain her controversial 'home brew' server

Up to 60 emails with classified material have been found in a sample of those she did not delete - meaning there could be many more

Now Daily Mail Online reveals new questions over security of her emails when Platte River was involved in maintaining server : 'Mom and pop' firm used converted residential apartment and had its own servers in a bathroom closet

Links between 'local' IT company and Clinton remain unclear but its VP of sales and marketing, who was sued for 'fraud' is said to be 'big Democrat'

By Hugo Daniel In Denver, Colorado, Published: 08:12 EST, 18 August 2015

The IT company Hilary Clinton chose to maintain her private email account was run from a loft apartment and its servers were housed in the bathroom closet, Daily Mail Online can reveal.

Daily Mail Online tracked down ex-employees of Platte River Networks in Denver, Colorado, who revealed the outfit's strong links to the Democratic Party but expressed shock that the 2016 presidential candidate chose the small private company for such a sensitive job.

One, Tera Dadiotis, called it 'a mom and pop shop' which was an excellent place to work, but hardly seemed likely to be used to secure state secrets. And Tom Welch, who helped found the company, confirmed the servers were in a bathroom closet.

It can also be disclosed that the small number of employees who were aware of the Clinton contract were told to keep it secret.

The way in which Clinton came to contract a company described as a 'mom and pop' operation remains unclear.

However Daily Mail Online has established a series of connections between the firm and the Democratic Party.

Platte River Networks worked for Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper - once heavily tipped to be Clinton's 2016 running mate - during his election to be mayor of the city in 2003

The company's controversial vice president of sales David DeCamillis is also said to be a 'big Democrat' supporter who offered his house to Joe Biden for the party's convention held in Denver in 2008.

It will be the small scale of the firm and its own home-made arrangements which will raise the most significant questions over security and over what checks Clinton's aides made about how suitable it was for dealing with what new transpires to be classified material.

Daily Mail Online spoke to former employees of the firm, including Tera Dadiotis, who was a customer relations consultant between 2007 and 2010.

Describing it as 'a great place to work, but kind of like a mom and pop shop', Tera reacted with disbelief that her former company was hired to manage the email system of Democratic juggernaut Hilary Clinton.

Speaking to Daily Mail Online at her home in Castle Rock, Colorado, Tera said: 'I think it's really bizarre, I don't know how that relationship evolved.

'At the time I worked for them they wouldn't have been equipped to work for Hilary Clinton because I don't think they had the resources, they were based out of a loft, so [it was] not very high security, we didn't even have an alarm.

'I don't know how they run their operation now, but we literally had our server racks in the bathroom. I mean knowing how small Platte River Networks... I don't see how that would be secure [enough for Clinton].'

Founded in 2002 by entrepreneurs Treve Suazo, Brent Allshouse and Tom Welch, Platte River Networks worked out of a 1,858 square feet loft apartment in downtown Denver up until this earlier year when they moved to a much bigger 12,000 sq.ft space.

The company celebrated the upgrade with an open house party on June 18, which they excitedly posted on their website and facebook page.

Describing the old office, Tera, 30, said: 'It was a loft downtown and they [the co-founders] owned it. It was one big open space where we had cubicles and two bathrooms.

'I actually lived in the same building.'

Clinton's 'homebrew' computer system housed her emails while she was Secretary of State between 2009 and 2013. Platte River Networks provided its services in mid-2013 according to Barbara Wells, the company's lawyer.

In March Clinton said she wiped the server clean but experts say some of the more than 60,000 emails she deleted may be recoverable.

The server is now in the hands of the FBI who took it off Platte River Networks hands last Wednesday.
Four emails on the private server are said to have been 'classified' with two of them labeled 'top secret', the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said on Tuesday.

Up to 60 in all may have been found during further samples, it has been reported. Clinton has maintained nothing on her server was classified at the time she saw it.

Wherever the truth lies, Tera thinks Platte River was an unsuitable choice for Clinton, she said: 'It's so weird, because it's just a small IT company. I know they've expanded quite a bit since I left but I do think it's strange, we only had the three owners and like eight employees. We didn't do any work in other states.

'No offense to them, but who are they? I know of a lot of IT companies that are much bigger. When I was there I answered all the phone calls, paid all the bills, and had a good handle on what was coming in and going out.

'We were like your local IT company, nothing special or fancy, we had a really good reputation but that was on a local level.'

She thinks Clinton should have used a company with government security clearance, adding: 'I just think government stuff should be handled by the government.'

Baffled by how Clinton decided to hire Platte River, ex-employees suggested David DeCamillis, the company's vice-president of sales and marketing might have had a hand in courting her business.

Another theory put forward was that Colorado governor John Hickenlooper recommended them to her. The Democratic National Convention was held in Denver in 2008.

Tera said: 'David DeCamillis was a big Democrat. He went to the Democrat Convention.

'He definitely helped Platte River grow, he had a strong sales background. And he brought a lot of clients on, that was his role as the VP of sales.'

Platte River co-founder Tom Welch revealed DeCamillis – who we revealed was sued for fraud when he worked for Lou Pearlman, the disgraced music impresario who discovered Backstreet Boys and NSync – had hoped to put up Joe Biden, now the vice-president, during the 2008 convention.

'During that Democratic Convention David DeCamillis was going to rent his home to Joe Biden. It was in a relatively posh part of Denver, it was called Washington Park in downtown Denver,' Welch said.

'Then Joe Biden was selected as [vice-presidential] candidate and didn't take him up on the deal.

'I'm not sure how that all happened, all I know he was saying he had the opportunity to make quite a bit of money doing it.

'I think when he was selected as a Vice President candidate he got more luxurious accommodation.'

Welch, 47, sold his third of the company to Suazo and Allshouse in February 2010.

He had no idea Clinton became a client until the news broke last week. He said: 'The whole thing is very surprising to me.

'I had no idea they had that kind of client, when I was with the company we were a small Denver business focused company, we really didn't do a lot, we did some stuff statewide, may have had a client or two in the western region but we certainly weren't doing business in Washington DC or on the East coast.'

Welch, who now runs his own IT company Colorado Cloud, revealed Platte River did work for John Hickenlooper when he was running to be mayor of Denver.

He said: 'In the past, when I was with the company we did some work with John Hickenlooper, he was running for mayor of Denver Colorado, around 2004.

“ The space that we had our office was essentially designed as a residential unit… the bathroom connected to the master closet and that's what we retrofitted as a server room”

Tom Welch, former Platte River Networks executive

'We did some IT support for his campaign.'

Asked if that was the connection to Clinton, he said: 'I would have no idea, it's the only connection I can possibly imagine.

Hickenlooper was elected Mayor of Denver in 2003 and served two terms until 2011 when he became Governor.

Welch also said it was also 'very possible' Clinton's team came across Platte River thanks to the 2008 Denver convention.

Welch confirmed his former company kept its servers in the bathroom closet.

He said: 'The space that we had our office was essentially designed as a residential unit… the bathroom connected to the master closet and that's what we retrofitted as a server room.'

He claimed the set up was secure, adding: 'Our internal network was extremely secure. At the time Inca St was a relatively obscure location, second floor office. The technology we had in place was pretty good. The security we had in place at the office was really good to protect our well-being.'

Asked if he thinks Clinton's emails could ever have been at risk from hackers, he said: 'What changed after I left the company I have no idea, I really could not comment on that. I don't know.'

However he thinks the company will struggle to overcome the Clinton controversy.

He said: 'If they can get through this hurdle I suspect its going to cost them a fair amount of money, if they can survive the money side of it, they're going to have a pretty serious black eye from an industry perspective if it's shown they didn't take the proper security measures or anything along those lines - that could hurt them.'

Asked if the fault lay with Clinton and not Platte River, he added: 'I don't know where you assign blame. Is it her fault for hiring an IT management company?'

Jim Zimmerman, another ex-employee recalled the company being secretive about acquiring Clinton as a client.

Speaking to Daily Mail Online, he said: 'Before they actually did the work, they said "that we've got this contract we're going to do it, we don't want a lot of talk about it, we just want to get in and get out".

'The sales rep made a general announcement to say we were going to do it and we would just prefer to keep it private.

'I don't know the techs were who dealt with her account, they didn't say, they said they're doing it and that's it.'

Zimmerman, 55, added: 'It was an ego trip for somebody I'm sure. They may have seen it as a feather in their cap and a challenge. And I'm sure it wasn't Hillary that hired them directly, I'm sure it was whoever was doing the managing.

'I'm sure it was an exciting contract for the guys who sold it [to her].'

Zimmerman also thinks the Democratic National Convention may have been where Platte River first came onto Clinton's radar.

He said: 'To acquire business like that, my best guess is it had something to do with the convention being in town… that would be three degrees of separation, everybody had something to do with that.

'I'm sure someone knew somebody at DNC and said "hey how would you guys like to do this" and they probably thought, that would be such a cool thing to do for our company.

'I know at that time Platte River was marketing heavily, I mean they were jumping on work.

'And when I heard it on the radio about Hilary Clinton emails a year or so ago. I thought "I can think of two guys who are c***ing their pants right now, they did not expect this.'

Defending his ex-employers from criticism, Zimmerman added: 'I'm sure they didn't do anything wrong. They didn't write the emails, they didn't make the choice to tell her she was going to use that email server. They were just turning the wrenches... you make it as secure as possible.

'If she did stupid stuff on the email and sent out classified information, that's all on her, Platte River can't control what she does with it. In the end they can only build something to her requirements.

'They were just doing what they were contracted to do to the best of their abilities.'

Check out Executive Order 13526 - Original Classification Authority, signed by Obama 12/29/09, making Hillary responsible for all e-mail and message classifications (unclassified, confidential, secret, top secret) for the entire Dept. of State. SHE is the one who not only is required to know the classifications, but SHE is the one responsible for the classifications for STATE!

...

The US mainstream media is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party. Which, in turn, is completely dominated by left-wing progressives. Their response to damaging info is always to circle the wagons, deny everything, double down o n their lies, and attack the accusers. Always.

...

A non-political DOJ would have charged her weeks ago for violation national security laws. This DOJ will stonewall, delay and cover up.

The unintentionally revealing title of a new Hillary Clinton ad

Updated by Jonathan Allen on August 19, 2015

A new Hillary Clinton ad couldn't have a more revealing title: "Reshuffle."

As Clinton battles congressional and FBI investigations into email from her time as secretary of state, her campaign released a spot Wednesday in which she argues that "the deck is stacked" against working-class Americans and that it's time to reshuffle it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw6JRuItcus&feature=player_embedded

The ad will move into a rotation with two biographical spots already airing in Iowa and New Hampshire.

"When you see that you’ve got CEOs making 300 times what the average worker’s making, you know the deck is stacked in favor of those at the top," Clinton says in the ad. "I want it to be back where it was when I came of age. Where my mom who never got to go to college could see her daughter go to law school."

As Politico reported Wednesday, Clinton's getting pressure from fellow Democrats to change her strategy in dealing with the burgeoning email controversy.

Clinton, who grew visibly frustrated when Fox's Ed Henry pressed her about her email Tuesday, could also use a reshuffling of the topics in the news.

I’d say that Hillary Clinton had a bad week, except for the fact that bad weeks have become pretty much par for the course for the former first lady and 2016 presidential hopeful.

First and foremost, there’s the investigation into her private email server. The number of emails containing classified information is now up to a whopping 305, and the odds are it won’t stop there. There’s also the matter of her failing poll numbers. The latest surveys show self-described socialist and genial nutcase Bernie Sanders within striking distance of Hillary, whose numbers have dipped under 50 percent for the first time — all without a long-rumored Joe Biden run.

Now comes an ad from the conservative America Rising PAC which devastates the Hillary myth in a little over a minute and a half: http://conservativetribune.com/95-second-video-hillary/

Federal Judge Makes Big Move That Is NOT What Hillary Wanted To See Happen
"Blaming Judicial Watch for the email mess she made is pathetic."
Randy DeSoto August 18, 2015 at 2:05pm

A federal judge agreed to move up a hearing regarding the status of State Department emails of top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin from September to Thursday.

Judicial Watch (JW) brought the FOIA suit against the State Department to secure information regarding her employment with the agency, as well as her consultant work outside of it.

According to JW, Abedin was Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations from Jan. 2009 to June 2012. “She then became a senior advisor in the same office and was classified as a special government employee (SGE) authorized to represent individual clients and engage in outside employment.” Abedin left the State Department in February 2013.

While in her capacity as an SGE, Abedin was employed by the State Department and the Clinton Foundation simultaneously.

JW agreed to drop its lawsuit (originally filed in Sept. 2013) in Feb. 2014 after the State Department reported it found no records regarding the request.

Upon learning of former Secretary of State Clinton’s private email server in March of this year, JW successfully argued to have its case reopened.

In asking Judge Emmet Sullivan to reopen the lawsuit, JW “cited a federal court rule…that allows a party to reopen a case due to ‘fraud…misrepresentation, or misconduct by an opposing party…’”

The group’s president, Tom Fitton, argued that the State Department obviously knew all along about the server–and its failure to disclose this information when JW brought its initial FOIA suit is clear evidence of misrepresentation and misconduct.

“The Obama administration’s obstruction of the courts and our Freedom of Information Act litigation must end,” said Fitton. “The court and the American people are weary of their legal gamesmanship. We are fighting for the public’s right to know what Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin and others were sending and receiving during their four years running the State Department.”

Due to JW’s suit, Hillary Clinton was forced to sign a sworn declaration, under penalty of perjury earlier this month, that Huma Abedin did have an email address on Clinton’s private server, which she used to conduct “government business” at times. However, Clinton failed to respond to the judge’s order requiring her and her aides to turn over all government records in their possession. The former secretary of state simply affirmed that she had turned over 55,000 pages of emails to the State Department.

The State Department reported to the court on Friday that it has still not been able to locate responsive records regarding Huma Abedin’s employment status beyond her work at the State Department.

As reported by Western Journalism, Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro also raised the potentially ugly spectre on her program Saturday that one reason Clinton was communicating on her private server with Huma Abedin was because some of those emails dealt with the hundreds of millions being raised for the Clinton Foundation (including some from foreign interests) while Hillary served as secretary of state.

Regarding the Abedin suit, Fitton said: “The court battle to get to the truth about Huma Abedin’s ‘special government employee’ (SGE) privileges at State is underway. The reopening of this case brings Judicial Watch one step closer to forcing the State Department to ensure that the government records in Hillary Clinton’s ‘secret’ email system are properly preserved, protected and recovered as federal law requires. Ms. Abedin is part of the Clinton cash raising operation and was even involved in the Benghazi scandal, so this lawsuit could not be more timely.”

Clinton has called Judicial Watch’s FOIA lawsuits regarding her email server a partisan attack. Fitton responded to her accusation, saying: “It was Hillary Clinton who chose to conduct official government business on a separate email system. It was this decision by Hillary Clinton that placed classified information and the nation’s security at risk.

“In addition, it prevented government records from being properly searched as required by law in response to Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act requests and lawsuits. A federal judge has led the way in requesting answers from her under penalty of perjury. Mrs. Clinton has a problem with the truth and obeying the law – and that is why a federal judge has requested information from Mrs. Clinton, the State Department, and her closest advisers. Blaming Judicial Watch for the email mess she made is pathetic,” said Fitton.

SPY WHO HACKED INTO SECRET CLINTON DATA FOUND DEAD IN DUFFEL BAG IN BATHTUB
Aug 30, 2015

The MI6 spy who was found dead inside a holdall bag in his bathtub in London hacked into secret data held on former U.S. President Bill Clinton, The Sun newspaper has sensationally claimed today.

Gareth Williams was 31 years old when he was found naked, dead in his own bathtub in Pimlico, just a few minutes walk away from Britain’s Houses of Parliament.

Speculation has been rife ever since his death in September 2010 about the circumstances surrounding his death. A Metropolitan Police investigation revealed predictably, though suspiciously, that Mr Williams’ death was “probably an accident”. This was despite an initial inquest concluding that his death was “unnatural and likely to have been criminally mediated.”

Since then the unexplained death has been the subject of investigation by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The BBC reported as early as December 2010 that Mr Williams had been on secondment from Britain’s signals intelligence operation GCHQ to MI6, and then subsequently to the United States’ National Security Agency.

The Sun reports that Williams had “dug out the guestlist for an event the former American president was going to as a favour for a pal.”

The Murdoch-owned paper reports:

The Sun on Sunday can reveal that voicemail messages Mr Williams left for family and pals were deleted in the days after his death. And a rival agent may also have broken into the flat to destroy or remove evidence.

The inquest was barred from discussing Mr Williams’s work in public. But sources say he was helping on the joint monitoring network Echelon, which uses sophisticated programs to eavesdrop on terrorists and criminal gangs, particularly those in Russia.

…

A source said: “The Clinton diary hack came at a time when Williams’s work with America was of the most sensitive nature.

“It was a diplomatic nightmare for Sir John Sawers, the new director of MI6 at the time.”

Insiders claim Mr Williams, who had been given a second passport with a fresh identity, was also getting fed up with living a secret life. He is said to have loathed his spy training after having his wrist broken during one hardcore session.

…

Mr Williams, a keen cyclist originally from Anglesey, North Wales, died shortly after returning from a hacking conference in America.

He had been to see a drag queen show by himself two days before he was last seen alive, on August 15, 2010.

Eight days later his naked body was found folded into the 32in by 19in bag placed in the bath of his flat in Pimlico, central London.

His mobile phone and sim cards were laid out on a table. The last computer evidence of him being alive showed him looking at a cycling website.

A number of theories exist about Mr William’s death, including that of a scorned ex-lover, a “Kremlin car” driving past his house, and some bizarre sexual fantasies that Mr Williams may have played out and taken too far.

Mr Williams had no alcohol or drugs in his system when he was found, and the inquest found that he would not have been able to seal himself in the bag alone.

The Metropolitan Police refused to comment on the new revelations that Mr Clinton’ security details may have been breached by Mr Williams.

FBI Said to Recover Personal E-Mails From Hillary Clinton Server

(Bloomberg) -- The FBI has recovered personal and work- related e-mails from the private computer server used by Hillary Clinton during her time as secretary of state, according to a person familiar with the investigation.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s success at salvaging personal e-mails that Clinton said had been deleted raises the possibility that the Democratic presidential candidate’s correspondence eventually could become public. The disclosure of such e-mails would likely fan the controversy over Clinton’s use of a private e-mail system for official business.

The FBI is investigating how and why classified information ended up on Clinton’s server. The probe probably will take at least several more months, according to the person, who described the matter on condition of anonymity because the investigation is continuing and deals with sensitive information.

A review by Clinton and her aides determined that about half of the 60,000 e-mails she exchanged during her four-year tenure as secretary of state were of a personal nature, the presidential candidate has said.

Those e-mails, she said, mostly dealt with planning for Chelsea’s wedding, yoga routines and condolence messages.

Clinton said the personal e-mails were deleted from the server and her staff turned over paper copies of the remaining work-related e-mails in December to the State Department for processing and archiving. The FBI obtained Clinton’s server from the Colorado-based company managing it.

Recover E-Mails

Outside computer specialists have said the FBI has the technical capability to recover deleted e-mails. The exact number of personal e-mails recovered by the FBI could not be learned.

Once the e-mails have been extracted, a group of agents has been separating personal correspondence and passing along work- related messages to agents leading the investigation, the person said.

Since the existence of the e-mail system became public in March, Clinton has seen her standing in polls slide, particularly in regards to questions about her trustworthiness. She also has been heavily criticized by congressional Republicans who have raised questions over whether the private server jeopardized the security of sensitive data.

Internal government watchdogs have determined that classified information ended up on the system. Their findings sparked the FBI inquiry.

Clinton’s attorney, David Kendall, did not respond to phone calls or e-mails seeking comment. Nick Merrill, a spokesman, said, “We’ve cooperated to date and will continue to do so, including answering any questions about this that anyone including the public may have.”

Iowa Caucuses

The bureau’s probe is expected to last at least several more months, according to the person. That timeline would push any final determination closer to the Democratic presidential primary calendar, which kicks off Feb. 1 with the Iowa caucuses.

A bureau spokeswoman, Carol Cratty, declined to discuss any aspect of the investigation. Emily Pierce, a spokeswoman for the Justice Department, also declined to comment.

Clinton is not accused of any wrongdoing. She has said she is confident that material in her e-mails wasn’t marked as classified when it was sent and received through her server. For anyone who mishandled such information, prosecutors must prove that they knowingly did so to charge them with a crime.

The former secretary of state has said she decided to use a private e-mail address -- [email protected] -- to conduct all of her electronic correspondence as a matter of convenience, to avoid the need to carry two devices, one personal and one professional. She served from 2009 through 2013 as the nation’s top diplomat.

E-Mails Posted

As the result of public information lawsuits, the State Department has posted almost 8,000 of those work-related e-mails on its website. The State Department has determined that dozens of the e-mails contained classified information.

Many of the work-related e-mails contain schedules, press clippings, staffing updates, speech notes, and requests to aides for tech support. Some e-mails are simply requests to speak with people over secure phone lines.

In 2013, the Clintons turned the private server over to a Colorado-based technology company to manage. The firm, Platte River Networks, installed the device in a New Jersey data center and managed and maintained it.

Andy Boian, a spokesman for the Platte River, said the FBI last month asked the company to hand over the server. Platte River asked the Clintons what it should do, and within 24 hours a representative for the Clintons told the company to provide the device to agents, Boian said.

There has been some question as to whether Clinton deleted her messages or took the more thorough and technical step of “wiping” the server. Boian said Tuesday that Platte River had “no knowledge of it being wiped.”

Clinton’s use of a private e-mail system is being examined by congressional committees that have the power to subpoena the FBI to obtain the messages. The e-mails also may be sought under public-information laws.

The FBI isn’t likely to hand over any such messages until its investigation has been completed. Even then, public records laws provide exceptions protecting personal information.

Hillary Clinton personally signed deal that let Huma Abedin double dip on salaries

By Red Right Republic | on September 24, 2015

Hillary Rodham Clinton personally signed the controversial deal in 2012 that let her top aide Huma Abedin simultaneously work for the State Department and a private New York firm with deep ties to the Clinton family, according to records made public Thursday.

The State Department emails released to select congressional committees and the watchdog group Judicial Watch also show that almost immediately after Ms. Abedin got permission to work in New York for the Teneo Group, she tried to get the federal government to pay the cost of her commuting back and forth to Washington to serve as a senior adviser to Mrs. Clinton, who was then the secretary of state.

The End of a Presidential Dream
By: Diane Sori / Right Side Patriots on http://cprworldwidemedia.net/

"While I will not be a candidate, I will not be silent."

- Vice President Joe Biden announcing that he will NOT run for president

Yesterday, in a cleverly orchestrated move perfectly timed to take the pressure off Hillary Clinton's appearance before Trey Gowdy's House Select Committee on Benghazi later today, Vice President Joe Biden, with his wife Jill and Obama by his side, announced that he will NOT run for president. And while some think this announcement will clear the way for Hillary being the Democratic nominee it could very well instead be the signal that Hillary will (rightfully) be indicted by the F.B.I. for her email 'irregularities' if you will.

And that leaves the door open for Julian Castro to step into the fray...young, dynamic, and above all else Hispanic...after all the Dems do need the Hispanic vote you know...and Castro fits perfectly into the 'new' progressive Democratic party agenda...what with his being a socialist bordering on being an out-and-out communist in his leanings. And with Obama's thrusting San Antonio's former mayor into the much-needed national spotlight by appointing him HUD secretary, and with Castro being 'groomed' by Obama's people coupled with his many visits to the White House, do NOT discount Castro suddenly entering the race especially if Hillary appears on the verge of being indicted.

And so in a speech delivered less than 24 hours before Hillary's moment of truth, if you will, what must be noted is that Joe Biden did NOT endorse his 'supposed' friend Hillary for president nor did Obama, and that in and of itself suggests that something or someone is up the proverbial sleeve.

Saying that while his family was emotionally prepared to back him if he chose to run...actually for a third run for the presidency...even after the May death of his son Beau...the former Delaware State Attorney General...Biden nonetheless said he would NOT be a candidate. "Unfortunately, I believe we're out of time," adding that “the window of opportunity to launch a viable campaign has closed,” Biden's speech, however, sounded more like a campaign speech than it did the speech of a man coming to the end of his long political career.

So very much more like a campaign speech especially when he spoke about the path Democrats should take in the 2016 campaign, including calling for them to run on Obama's record. “This party, our nation, will make a tragic mistake if we walk away or attempt to undo the Obama legacy,” Biden said which makes me question whose side Biden is really on for contrary to his foot-in-mouth public guffaws, Biden is NOT a stupid man and he knows well that Obama's record is, to put it mildly, anything but stellar. And while Biden towed the party line by stating his disdain for the influence of unlimited contributions on politics, while he called for expanding access to college educations, and saying that while Republicans may be the opposition, they are "not our enemy"...as he silently slapped Hillary in the face for referring to her Republican rivals as 'the enemy' in last week's Democratic debates...leaves one to wonder why Obama had to be there.

And two possibilities come to mind ... does Joe Biden ... once chairman of the all-important Senate Foreign Relations Committee ... have any inkling into NOT only today's Benghazi hearing, but more importantly into the F.B.I decision on whether or NOT to indict Hillary based upon the newly recovered emails ... meaning was Obama worried enough about what Biden might say or do if he did run for president that he needed to be by his side. Or was Obama worried that Joe Biden holds the key to NOT only Hillary's political demise but to his own political demise and indictment as well for NO matter what can be said about Joe Biden the one thing he is NOT is a traitor ... unlike both Obama and Clinton ... and Obama might very well be worried that loyalty to America and to the Constitution will trump Biden's ties to him and his legacy.

And isn't it odd that as late as Tuesday night all indicators pointed to a Biden run ... including there being a 'Draft Biden' Super PAC in place ... so why then the sudden decision NOT to run especially when his family stood behind his running. Could Biden have been politely 'ordered' by the puppet masters of the regime to stay out of the race so that someone else could be put in his place ... someone more to their liking and more in line with the Obama socialist agenda ... someone whose strings they could easily pull ... someone like the afore mentioned Julian Castr o... a man who could beat Hillary for the nomination by locking-up the critical Hispanic vote ... something Bernie Sanders cannot do. Also remember, there is NO love lost between Obama and Hillary, and I bet Obama cringes at the thought of a Hillary presidency following his own, because with a Hillary win it is actually a two-fer...as in you do get Billy-Boy tagging along.

But could Biden's decision NOT to run have been as simple as the reality that with Hillary and Sanders having been in the race since April, he knew that he would face both major logistical and numbers challenges in starting a campaign this late in the primary season, especially with a recent Reuters poll showing that only 17% of Democrats said he would be their top pick for president compared to 46% for Hillary. And could it be that Biden knew that since top key Democratic players and donors already are committed to Hillary that they would have to defect to the his camp in order for him to have even a somewhat reasonable chance at the nomination, but Biden I believe knows, as do these folks know as well, that turning your back on a Clinton could (in my opinion) have serious ramifications... just ask Vince Foster's family.

So with almost all of the Democratic 'so-called' establishment rallying around their girl Hillary, making it difficult for Biden to have mounted a serious challenge while still (rightfully) grieving over his son's recent death, a nearly a half-century career in public office will come to the end when Obama finally leaves office. And with Joe Biden NOT running, Hillary in her ghoulish delusions sees a clear path to the nomination looking more and more like a sure thing...that is if Julian Castro is NOT placed into the race...that is if Trey Gowdy doesn't chew her up and spit her out at today's Benghazi hearings, and that is if the F.B.I. doesn't come a-knocking at her door.

A lot of ifs...but maybe one of those ifs will finally stick and bring down the infamous 'Butcher of Benghazi' aka the 'Email Queen.' And if that does happen Joe Biden's NOT running will have played an important part without him even realizing it...imagine that...just saying.

Hillary Rodham Clinton just spit in the faces of our veterans claiming that that the problems that plague the Veterans Administration aren’t as bad as people make out.

During an appearace on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” Friday, the ultra liberal host said that she was “genuinely shocked” by Republicans that say our veterans might be better served by privatizing the Veterans Administration and “throwing veterans under the mercy of the private health care system.”

Maddow asked Clinton, “Do you have any new ideas for trying to fix it?”

Clinton said, “I don’t understand why we have such a problem,” adding “There have been a number of surveys of veterans, and overall, veterans who do get treated are satisfied with their treatment.”

Instead of addressing the issue she downplayed it and instead, felt it necessary to use the opportunity to berate Republicans for trying to make a big deal out of nothing.

Well lady, it IS a big deal.

As America’s Freedom Fighters previously reported, over 300,000 VETERANS that served our country have died waiting for health care from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The Department of Veterans Affairs still has a massive backlog of nearly 900,000 healthcare applications.

Do you liberal scumbags need more facts?

How about shaking down Veterans for money?

Calhoun County Veterans Affairs director Scott Losey resigned after emails surfaced of him intimidating and shaking down vulnerable veterans for money.

Losey resigned on Monday after he tried to harass Phyllis Katz, the widow of a Navy veteran, for survivor’s benefits. Katz reported him and soon after, local news obtained emails via a Freedom of Information Act request. In the emails, Losey often suggested and even explicitly demanded that veterans who received his help owed him cash, favors and drugs. He also threatened and shamed veterans who refused to pay.

We have rampant suicides, computer glitches, corruption, waiting lists and it goes on and on.

But in Hillary’s demented mind, there is no problem. It’s just the evil Republicans trying to make the Democrats look bad. She is pathetic.

Hillary Clinton for President or prison?

“The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior."

Here they are: Hillary's 22 biggest scandals ever

Does America really want '2 Clintons for price of 1' back in White House?

Published: 05/18/2015

During his 1992 campaign for the presidency, Bill Clinton was fond of promising America, “You get two for the price of one,” indicating Hillary Clinton would act as his co-president.

But the nation got much more than it bargained for, as the top power couple brought a load of baggage with them into the White House from their days in Arkansas.

After the Clintons moved into the presidential mansion, the political scandals multiplied – from use of the IRS and FBI to target political opponents to stalking and harassing subjects of Bill Clinton’s sexual advances and even attempts to loot taxpayer-funded items from the White House. Americans also witnessed capers such as Travelgate, Chinagate, Filegate and Pardongate.

Bill Clinton’s sexual escapades and subsequent impeachment by the U.S. House of Representatives on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice consumed more than a year of American public life and bitterly divided the nation.

In the years since the memorable Clinton presidency, Hillary has brought America Emailgate and the Benghazi scandal, among others. New developments in the Clinton Foundation scandals emerges almost daily.

Now, it’s Hillary’s “turn” to be president, according to her Democrat supporters.

But in 2015, America is still apparently suffering from “Clinton fatigue.” Results from a Quinnipiac poll published in April revealed between 49 and 56 percent of voters in three significant swing states – Colorado, Virginia and Iowa – believe Hillary is neither honest nor trustworthy.

Even former California Democratic Party Chairman Bill Press told WND that controversies surrounding Hillary should convince members of his own party an uncontested coronation of Clinton as the party’s 2016 nominee for the White House is a very risky idea and should encourage other Democrats to throw their hats in the ring.

Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican candidate for president, said Sunday he believes voters will reject Hillary because of the “cloud of constant scandal she brings to the political process.”

Rubio told Fox News Sunday, “Unfortunately, both under her husband’s presidency, her time in the Department of State, her campaign for the president last time and even now, there seems to be this cloud of constant scandal and things that distract us from the core issues of the moment.”

Hillary’s “drama” could become a distraction, Rubio warned, at a time when the stakes are high for America in the 2016 election.

“I just think that at this hinge moment in our history, where we are asked to make a transition from the past into this new future, with all the challenges and the opportunities of our time that we really – the American people are not at a point now where they are going to be supportive of more drama surrounding the political process,” he said.

In 2003, ABC News’ Barbara Walters referenced numerous Clinton scandals from Whitewater to Travelgate and the death of Hillary law partner Vince Foster in an interview with then-Sen. Clinton.

Walters asked Hillary, “How did you get in this mess where your whole credibility is being questioned?”

Hillary’s response: “Oh, I ask myself that every day, Barbara, because it’s very surprising and confusing to me.”

With Hillary making another run for president, don’t get caught up in the lies and spin! In “Hillary Unhinged: In Her Own Words,” find out who the true Hillary is with this raw and humorous collection of quotes that pitilessly underscores her hypocrisy

With the prospect of another “two-for-one” Clinton presidency looming, is America ready for a repeat of the Bill and Hillary “drama” in the White House?

If, as psychologists say, “The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior,” then a fresh look at the top 20 scandals involving Hillary is in order.

1) Clintons turn IRS into ‘gestapo’

Few federal agencies are more feared and loathed by Americans than the Internal Revenue Service – especially when corrupt presidents abuse the power of the IRS to harass and exact revenge on political enemies. As WND has reported, during Bill Clinton’s terms in office, IRS audits were conducted against individuals and groups who caused problems for the administration. Several prominent conservative groups found themselves facing IRS audits following their criticism of the president and his policies. Among the conservative groups targeted for audits were the Heritage Foundation, the National Rifle Association, Concerned Women of America, Citizens Against Government Waste, National Review, American Spectator (which was burglarized three times), the National Center for Public Policy Research, the American Policy Center, American Cause, Citizens for Honest Government, Progress and Freedom Foundation, David Horowitz’s Center for the Study of Popular Culture and the Western Journalism Center.

Individuals singled out for audits during the administration included Clinton paramours Gennifer Flowers and Liz Ward Gracen, sexual assault accusers Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick, fired White House Travel Office Director Billy Dale and attorney Kent Masterson Brown. Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, an outspoken critic of both Bill and Hillary Clinton, said he was audited three times during the Clinton presidency.

A 1996 survey by the Washington Times could not identify a single liberal public policy organization that had been audited during the entire Clinton administration.

2) Covering Bill’s dirty deeds

The Clintons have been accused of hiring private investigators to not only dig up dirt on perceived adversaries – such as Juanita Broaddrick, the woman allegedly raped by Bill, and other abused women such as Gennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones – but to stalk, scare and threaten them. Willey asserts Hillary was behind a campaign of intimidation and harassment against her that fit a pattern employed against numerous other women whose claims of sexual impropriety or assault by Bill Clinton threatened the couple’s political fortunes.

As WND reported, Willey and her husband, Ed, were Democratic activists who founded Virginians for Clinton and helped send Bill and Hillary to the White House in 1992. While serving as a volunteer in the White House and facing financial hard times, Willey says she met with Bill Clinton in the Oval Office to request a paying position. But instead of getting help, she says, she was subjected to “nothing short of serious sexual harassment.” Distraught, Willey fled Clinton’s presence, only to discover that her husband Ed had committed suicide that same tragic afternoon. Later, she was drawn “unwillingly” into the Paula Jones lawsuit, the Ken Starr investigation and impeachment proceedings.

Willey, author of the 2007 book, “Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton,” has claimed the Clinton tag team used mob-style intimidation campaign to keep her silent, even purportedly breaking into her home to steal her memoirs of the events.

Despite Bill’s 20 years of alleged and admitted extra-marital relationships, Hillary famously came to his defense shortly after the Monica Lewinsky affair broke in 1998. Asked about the accusations, the then-first lady said, “Certainly, I believe they’re false. Absolutely.”

Then, in a memorable interview with the “Today” show’s Matt Lauer, she explained years of accusations by women such as Willey, Gennifer Flowers and Dolly Kyle Browning: “Bill and I have been accused of everything, including murder, by some of the very same people who are behind these allegations,” she said, pointing to a “vast right-wing conspiracy. … So from my perspective this is part of a continuing political campaign against my husband.”

What makes a book about Bill and Hillary Clinton so explosive that someone would STEAL it? Kathleen Willey tells America the shocking story in her book, “Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton.”

Later, however, when placed under oath, Bill Clinton admitted to an affair with Flowers, as he did with Lewinksy. But Hillary’s actions, Willey contends, indicated by word and deed that her main concern was to ensure her husband’s proclivities didn’t ruin their political careers.

In her book, Willey cites sources who contend Hillary began engaging private investigators during their time in Arkansas so she could head off any repercussions from her husband’s behavior. The first to be dispatched were her own father and brother when she committed to marry Bill, according to author Jerome Levin in “The Clinton Syndrome.” Bill had left Yale University for Arkansas to teach law, and she went to work in Washington, D.C.

When Bill was governor, Hillary sent out a group of investigators known at the “Truth Squad” to discourage many of her husband’s lovers from going public.

3) Looting the White House

http://www.wnd.com/files/2015/04/whitehoue-300.png

When the Clintons left 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in 2001, they reportedly vandalized and looted the White House. Hillary tried to ship furniture to the Clintons’ personal home in Chappaqua, New York. The Clintons came under fire when they reportedly tried to take $190,000 in gifts and furnishings from the presidential mansion. Additionally, the General Accounting Office, an investigative arm of Congress, reported that ”damage, theft, vandalism and pranks did occur in the White House complex” during the presidential transition from Bill Clinton to George W. Bush – including the theft of a presidential seal. According to the General Accounting Office, the cost of the White House vandalism reached about $14,000 and included $4,850 to replace computer keyboards with damaged or missing “W” keys. The agency said some of the destruction was intentional, including glue smeared on desks, broken furniture, offices full of trash and graffiti in a men’s restroom stall that disparaged Bush. There were also missing doorknobs, medallions and office signs.

During their time in the White House, the Clintons also reportedly auctioned off and sold taxpayer-financed government goods and services in exchange for political campaign contributions and personal profit. Among the items sold by the Clintons, which Judicial Watch uncovered in various lawsuits, and the media and Congress in their investigations, were: 1) seats on overseas trade missions; 2) export licenses for high technology sales to communist China and elsewhere; 3) commissionerships and judgeships; 4) rides on Air Force One; 5) overnight stays in the White House’s Lincoln Bedroom; 6) graves at Arlington Cemetery; 7) meetings with key Clinton-Gore administration leaders; and other favors.

4) Filegate: FBI files on GOP enemies

The Clinton duo was involved in a scandal known as “Filegate” in which they illegally obtaining FBI files on perceived adversaries, most of whom served in previous Republican administrations.

“In an effort to discredit the women who charged President Clinton with sexual misconduct, personal files and papers were illegally obtained and released. The courts found, under the Privacy Act, that the privacy of Linda Tripp and Kathleen Willey had been violated,” a Judicial Watch report said, citing just a few of more than 900 relevant files. Judicial Watch said Hillary had been linked “directly to the center” of the controversy.

The scandal was first detected by the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, which investigated the Clintons’ Travelgate caper. The committee found that the FBI files had been improperly accessed by Craig Livingstone, a former bar bouncer Hillary had hired to work in the White House Counsel’s Office. However, Hillary called the whole affair a “completely honest bureaucratic snafu.”

In “Whores: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment,” Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch Founder Larry Klayman details the stunning incompetence and corruption of Bill and Hillary Clinton

5) Hillary’s ‘Muslim Brotherhood princess’

Huma Abedin, who served as Hillary’s longtime deputy chief of staff and has worked with her for nearly 20 years, has known ties to the Muslim Brotherhood – a group bent on “destroying Western civilization from within” – and other Islamic supremacists. As WND has extensively reported, the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic supremacist connections not only extend to Abedin’s mother and father, who are both deeply tied to al-Qaida fronts, but to Abedin herself.

As WND reported, a manifesto commissioned by the ruling Saudi Arabian monarchy places the work of an institute that employed Abedin at the forefront of a grand plan to mobilize U.S. Muslim minorities to transform America into a Saudi-style Islamic state, according to Arabic-language researcher Walid Shoebat.

Abedin was an assistant editor for a dozen years for the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs for the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs. The institute – founded by her late father and currently directed by her mother – is backed by the Muslim World League, an Islamic organization in the Saudi holy city of Mecca that was founded by Muslim Brotherhood leaders. The 2002 Saudi manifesto shows that “Muslim Minority Affairs” – the mobilizing of Muslim communities in the U.S. to spread Islam instead of assimilating into the population – is a key strategy in an ongoing effort to establish Islamic rule in America and a global Shariah, or Islamic law, “in our modern times.”

WND reported Abedin also was a member of the executive board of the Muslim Student Association, which was identified as a Muslim Brotherhood front group in a 1991 document introduced into evidence during the terror-financing trial of the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation.

At her father’s Saudi-financed Islamic think tank, WND reported, Abedin worked alongside Abdullah Omar Naseef, who is accused of financing al-Qaida fronts. Naseef is deeply connected to the Abedin family.

WND was first to report Huma’s mother, Saleha Abedin, was the official representative of Naseef’s terror-stained Muslim World League in the 1990s.

Shoebat previously reported that as one of 63 leaders of the Muslim Sisterhood, the de facto female version of the Muslim Brotherhood, Saleha Abedin served alongside Nagla Ali Mahmoud, the wife of Muslim Brotherhood figure Mohammed Morsi, Egypt’s now ousted president.

Saleha Abedin and Morsi’s wife both were members of the Sisterhood’s Guidance Bureau, Shoebat found.

WND also recently reported Abedin used emails hosted on HIllary’s private server while she was secretary of state.

6) Vince Foster’s 1993 death

http://www.wnd.com/files/2015/05/Vince_Foster.jpg
Hillary and Vince Foster

Vince Foster was deputy White House counsel and Hillary’s friend and law partner who had connections to the Travelgate and Whitewater scandals. In 1993, Foster was found dead in a park with a fatal gunshot wound to his mouth. As WND reported, his suicide was the subject of much speculation and three official investigations.

Investigations by the U.S. Park Police, the Department of Justice, the FBI, Congress, Independent Counsel Robert B. Fiske and Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr concluded Foster’s death was a suicide. However, as WND reported in 2003, one of Starr’s key investigators challenged the official line, insisting the probe’s result was predetermined, only a few plotters were required to engineer the result, the crime scene was altered and that major newspaper editors killed stories by reporters pursuing the truth. The Washington Post reported that federal investigators were not allowed to enter Foster’s office after his death, but “White House aides enter[ed] Foster’s office shortly after his death, giving rise to speculation that files were removed from his office.”

In his 2005 book “The Truth about Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, And How Far She’ll Go to Become President,” Edward Klein wrote of Hillary’s involvement in the effort to remove Foster’s files:

The night of [Foster's] death, Hillary launched one of the most shameful – and illegal – cover-ups of her entire career.

She sent two of her most trusted White House loyalists – Maggie Williams, the First Lady’s chief of staff, and Patsy Thomasson, who was in charge of White House administration – into Foster’s office to retrieve embarrassing and incriminating documents related to Whitewater and Hillary’s other personal affairs. While White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum barred investigators from entering Foster’s office, Maggie Williams, Patsy Thomasson, and Craig Livingston, Hillary’s director of White House security, removed armloads of files and loose-leaf binders.

“In addition, a White House staffer allegedly tampered with the titles of several memos and removed the First Lady’s initials in an effort to erase her role in improper behavior.”

THE CLINTON FOUNDATION

Recently, Charles Krauthammer alluded that he had no doubt some of the 30k emails Hillary deleted from her private email server very likely had references to the Clinton Foundation, which would be illegal and a conflict of interest.

The Clinton Foundation is "organized crime" at its finest, and we are financing it.

Here is a good, concise summary of how the Clinton Foundation works as a tax free international money laundering scheme. It may eventually prove to be the largest political criminal enterprise in U.S. history. This is a textbook case on how you hide foreign money sent to you and repackage it to be used for your own purposes. All tax free. Here's how it works:

1. You create a separate foreign "charity." In this case one in Canada.

2. Foreign oligarchs and governments, then donate to this Canadian charity. In this case, over 1,000 did -- contributing mega millions. I'm sure they did this out of the goodness of their hearts, and expected nothing in return. (Imagine Putin's buddies waking up one morning and just deciding to send untold millions to a Canadian charity).

3. The Canadian charity then bundles these separate donations and makes a massive donation to the Clinton Foundation.

4. The Clinton Foundation and the cooperating Canadian charity claim Canadian law prohibits the identification of individual donors.

5. The Clinton Foundation then "spends" some of this money for legitimate good works programs. Unfortunately, experts believe this is on the order of 10%. Much of the balance goes to enrich the Clinton's, pay salaries To untold numbers of hangers on, and fund lavish travel, etc. Again, virtually all tax free, which means you and I - taxpayers - are subsidizing it.

6. The Clinton Foundation, with access to the world's best accountants, somehow fails to report much of this on their tax filings. They discover these "clerical errors" and begin the process of re-filing 5 years of tax returns.

7. Net result -- foreign money, much of it from other countries, goes into the Clinton's pockets tax free and untraceable back to the original donor. This is the textbook definition of money laundering.

Oh, by the way, the Canadian "charity" includes as a principal one Frank Giustra. Google him. He is the guy who was central to the formation of Uranium One, the Canadian company that somehow acquired massive U.S. uranium interests and then sold them to an organization controlled by Russia. This transaction required U.S. State Department approval, and guess who was Secretary of State when the approval was granted. As an aside, imagine how former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell feels. That poor schlep is in jail because he and his wife took $165,000 in gifts and loans for doing minor favors for a guy promoting a vitamin company. Not legal but not exactly putting U.S. security at risk.

Sarcasm aside, if you're still not persuaded this was a cleverly structured way to get unidentified foreign money to the Clinton's, ask yourself this: Why did these foreign interests funnel money through a Canadian charity? Why not donate directly to the Clinton Foundation? Better yet, why not donate money directly to the people, organizations and countries in need?

This is the essence of money laundering and influence peddling.

Now you know why Hillary's destruction of 30,000 e-mails was a risk she was willing to take.

Bill and Hillary are devious, unprincipled, dishonest and criminal, and they are Slick! Warning: They could be back in the White House in January 2017. Don't let it happen. Remember, most people are not well informed. You must inform and educate them.

There are two words we’ve been waiting anxiously for Hillary Clinton to say. We’ve been waiting for her to say “I lied” about the ridiculous video being the cause of the Benghazi terror attacks. We’ve been waiting for her to use those two same words regarding knowingly using her personal email server for classified State Department communications.

Like that’s gonna happen. Ever.

However, there are two words Mrs. Clinton vowed never to use again because they are now practically classified as “hate speech” these days: illegal immigrants. Yep, this is our world.

As The Guardian reports, Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Tuesday that her use of the term “illegal immigrants” was a “poor choice of words” and she pledged not to use it anymore, responding to criticism from immigration activists.

The Democratic presidential frontrunner was asked about her use of the term to describe people who are in the US illegally during a question-and-answer session on Facebook held by Telemundo. The question came from Jose Antonio Vargas, a filmmaker and journalist whose organization, Define American, has said the terminology is offensive and asked all presidential candidates to stop using it.

“Yes, I will,” Clinton wrote during a stop in Boulder, Colorado. “That was a poor choice of words. As I’ve said throughout this campaign, the people at the heart of this issue are children, parents, families, DREAMers. They have names and hopes and dreams that deserve to be respected.”

During a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire earlier this month, Clinton said she voted “numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. And I do think you have to control your borders.”

To be honest, I’m convinced there’s a plan here to make Mexico a part of the United States. I mean, what else could be going on here? In fact I believe the Democrats simply want to let all illegal immigrants in to do all the low wage jobs, which will spawn even more radical groups like Black Lives Matter. In effect this will take the heat off whites and start pitting black against brown. BRILLIANT!

But I still would love to hear Hillary say “I lied.”

Hillary Clinton Dons a Hijab in New Ad Campaign

If there’s one thing that Hillary Clinton has consistently proven over the course of her sorry and corrupt-beyond-meausre career as a politician, it’s that just when you think she can’t contradict herself any further, she pulls off a stunt that leaves even members of her own party in disbelief.

In her latest campaign video, she tries to show her non-existent experience with foreign policy by attempting to make a feminist speech in China, and wearing a Hijab. If you’re having trouble connecting the dots, let’s think about those two things for a moment.

China is a place where a Communist regime forces women to have abortions due to their restrictions on child birth. Then there’s the Hijab, an Islamic garment of submission. Not only is this garment a source of Muslim violence against women, but historically, its purpose was to distinguish Muslim women who couldn’t be raped from non-Muslim slave women. How’s that for feminism?

Not only does wearing a Hijab go against the very foundation of feminism, what Hillary is basically saying is that she is the property of a man and is not to be molested. Fortunately for her, the number of men who find her attractive slightly outnumbers the amount of things she says and does that actually make sense.

The Koranic verse that mandates covering states, “O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks all over their bodies that they may thus be distinguished and not molested” (Koran 33:59)

That’s not modesty. The covering is being worn to avoid rape.

The key words here are “distinguished and not molested”. Whom are these women being distinguished from? Women who don’t cover up and can be molested.

Hillary’s “cloak” is incomplete by Saudi or Taliban standards, but all these coverings are meant to be a symbolic form of Purdah, the physical confinement of a woman, even within her home.

Besides the fact that this latest stunt is contradicting, it’s also a meaningless gesture, seeing how Islamic law doesn’t recognize the marriages of non-Muslim people. The real question that should be asked about all of this is whether or not it’s really a feminist gesture to accept the Islamic distinction between women who can be molested and those who can’t. Only in the house of horrors that is Hillary Clinton’s mind does any of this make sense.

Hillary’s Debate Fact-Check Request Backfires
Chuck Ross
11:53 PM 12/19/2015

When Hillary Clinton urged viewers of Saturday’s Democratic presidential debate to vet her claim about donations she’s received from Wall Street, she may not have expected people to take her literally.

That’s because a check of OpenSecrets.org — which Clinton said supports her contention — shows that the Democratic frontrunner has received more campaign contributions from the securities and investment industry than she has from the education industry.

“I think it’s important to point out that about three percent of my donations come from people in the finance and investment world,” Clinton said.

“You can go to OpenSecrets.org and check that,” Clinton continued, adding that “more donations from students and teachers than I do from people associated with Wall Street.”

But the website, which is maintained by the Center for Responsive Politics, does not break down campaign contributions by job occupation, as Clinton suggested. Thus there’s no way to compare how much money she’s received from students and teachers or from people associated with Wall Street banks.

That leaves fact-checkers having to compare donations by industry. And such a review reveals that the biggest donors to Clinton’s 2016 campaign committee, Hillary for America, come from the legal, business services, and securities and investment industries. The education industry is the fifth largest source of contributions to the Democratic frontrunner’s effort.

>snip<

Clinton often uses tricky language to downplay her ties to millionaire donors. She routinely claims that most of her contributions come from small-dollar contributors. While that’s true in terms of the number of donations given, Clinton elides the argument being made by her opponents, such as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The majority of the money that flows into Clinton’s campaign comes from wealthy donors giving the maximum amount allowed under federal law.

http://dailycaller.com/2015/12/19/hillarys-debate-fact-check-request-backfires/

A old "trick" in Louisiana is to bring your employees one at a time to sign a paper stating they are donation $X ( the max allowed by law for personal donations ) which the company then supplies. It can add up to millions of "personal" donations from waiters, clerks, valets, drivers ect... and an easy way to hide the Coprporate interests.

After watching the Democratic debate last night, I thought I'd remind people of a few things;

Bill Clinton was president from 1993 - 2001

The Dot-Com Bubble was 1995 - 2001 Of course everyone made money during this period and things were grand. But it doesn't mean Clinton was a great president, just the president at the right time.

George W. Bush was president 2001 - 2009, and took over at the end of the Dot-com bubble and the attack on 9/11. While Bush was the president, I would blame Clinton for the 9/11 attack. To continue blaming Bush for the downturn. I say bull.

Then a Democratic congress passed the phased in min. wage increase from $5.15 to $7.25 during 2007 to 2009. They say this increase was implemented over a three year period, but actually the increases went into effect in just 25 months (Jan. 2007 to Jan 2009)

The NASDAQ dropped from a high of 2,859 points in 2007 to a low of 1,268 points in 2009. Was this caused by the MIn. Wage increase? I don't know, but I think it was big factor. But again, it was passed by the Democrats, but they still blame Bush for the economy.

Now all I hear from the Democrats is Tuition for Public College will be free, that they will raise the min. wage to $15/hr. and they won't raise taxes on the middle or lower class. Right!!! I don't believe it?

State Department Documents Reveal Intense Debate over Security Risk Poised by Clinton Blackberry Use in Foggy Bottom Executive Offices
DECEMBER 18, 2015
More than 50 emails, many marked “Sensitive,” focused on security problems surrounding “Use of Blackberries in Mahogany Row”

March 2009 internal memo from Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security warned of “vulnerabilities and risks” by Clinton and staff’s use of Blackberries in executive suites

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained documents as result of a federal court order containing more than 50 State Department internal emails from 2009 and 2011 warning of serious security concerns involving the use by then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her staff of “highly vulnerable” Blackberries in the executive offices of the Foggy Bottom headquarters.

The discussion included a March 2, 2009, internal memorandum from Assistant Secretary for Diplomatic Security Eric Boswell entitled “Use of Blackberries on Mahogany Row,” in which he strongly advised that the devices not be allowed. According to the Boswell memo, sent to then-Secretary of State Clinton and her Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, “the vulnerabilities and risks associated with the use of Blackberries in Mahogany Row [seventh floor executive offices] considerably outweigh their convenience.” Clinton has admitted she used a Blackberry during her early days in office despite Boswell’s memo with explicit written objections.

The documents were obtained under court order in a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information (FOIA) lawsuit (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:15-cv-00646)). Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit on April 29, 2015, after the State Department failed to comply with a March 10, 2015, FOIA request seeking release of:

•Records of requests by former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton or her staff to the State Department Office Security Technology seeking approval for the use of an iPad or iPhone for official government business; and
•Communications within or between the Office of the Secretary of State, the Executive Secretariat, and the Office of the Secretary and the Office of Security Technology related to the use of unauthorized electronic devices for official government business.

When Boswell’s internal memo was issued on March 2, 2009, it strongly warned of the security risks involved in the use of Blackberries by Clinton and her staff:

INFORMATION MEMO FOR CHERYL D. MILLS – S

FROM: DS – Eric J. Boswell
SUBJECT: Use of Blackberries in Mahogany Row

Our review reaffirms our belief that the vulnerabilities and risks associated with the use of Blackberries in the Mahogany Row [REDACTED] considerably outweigh the convenience their use can add to staff that have access to the classified OpenNet system on their desktops. [RECACTED] We also worry about the example that using Blackberries in Mahogany Row might set as we strive to promote crucial security practices and enforce important security standards among State Department staff.

***

I cannot stress too strongly, however, that any unclassified Blackberry is highly vulnerable in any setting to remotely and covertly monitoring conversations, retrieving e-mails, and exploiting calendars.

Leaving no doubt that Clinton was fully aware of the deep security concerns surrounding the Blackberry security issue early on, a March 11, 2009, email reads, “After this mornings ‘management meeting’ with the A/Secys, Secretary Clinton approached Ambassador Boswell [United States Assistant Secretary of State for Diplomatic Security] and mentioned that she had read the IM and that she ‘gets it.’ Her attention was drawn to the sentence that indicates we (DS) have intelligence concerning the vulnerability during her recent trip to Asia.” [Emphasis in original]

The internal State Department debate over the use by Clinton and her staff of “Electronic Devices on the 7th Floor” emerges again in a February 9, 2011, email from an unidentified source to State Department Director of the Office of Physical Security Programs Gentry Smith and Senior Coordinator for Security Infrastructure, Bureau of Diplomatic Security Donald Reid, in which the source advised: “I wanted to share with you, back channel, a little insight into current thinking in the Secretary’s inner circle on technology issues…” That same day, Reid responded by acknowledging the “vulnerabilities of portable devices” and saying he would expand the discussion to include Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills who wanted “to correct urban myths… re other agencies.” Reid did not clarify what “urban myths” Mills apparently wanted to clear up.

On March 2, 2011 Reid writes: “We have a DS Memo to S re malicious cyber activity directed toward Dept seniors that is circulating in final clearance….”

“These new State Department emails are devastating. The emails show Hillary Clinton knew about but ignored national security warnings concerning the use of Blackberries and other unsecure computing systems,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “These new emails ought to be of interest to the FBI and federal prosecutors, as the emails show that her mishandling of classified information and violations of federal records laws was far from innocent.”

Shocking Video Reveals More Dirty Secrets About The Clintons
9 hours ago

A shocking new video was just released about the Clintons, exposing their history of lies upon lies. I knew it was bad, but I had no idea it was this bad. Please share until every American you know sees this.

Brace yourselves, there has never been a more in-depth documentary about Bill and Hillary Clinton. The daunting facts are simply overwhelming.

With Hillary in the Presidential race, it’s time that we as American citizens arm ourselves with the facts we need to vote and help others understand who they’re really voting for when they support Clinton.

We’ve made this mistake before, let’s do a little research on our President this time.

Michael Bay’s “13 Hours,” which tells the story of the attacks on our consulate in Benghazi, hit theaters last Thursday. Having had the chance to see the film I’d recommend it to everyone.

Hillary Clinton isn’t mentioned by name in the film, though David Costabile’s character seems to embody elements of her.

Hillary has remained silent about the film, probably because she realizes drawing as little attention as possible to herself and Benghazi is her best bet. That was until she was asked on CNN if she’d seen the film. Watch the clip with her infuriating reply below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=k_yMntVL-LM

Here is the other thing to keep in mind. She is “too busy” to see this movie but she has more than enough time for:
•Appearing on the Jimmy Fallon show
•Appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres show
•Appearing on Lifetime to be interviewed by You Tube “stars”

But she doesn’t have time to see a movie?

How convenient.

When Did Hillary Clinton Stop Being 'Dead Broke'?
By Joshua Green June 10, 2014

Hillary Clinton’s memoir, Hard Choices, just out today, serves a simple purpose: It’s a soft launch of her likely presidential campaign that generates loads of attention in exactly the way she wants—as an author, she gets to control the message—and cleans up some old messes, such as her Iraq war vote, along the way. http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-06-06/hillary-clinton-finally-comes-clean-on-her-disastrous-iraq-war-vote

But as Clinton’s interview last night with Diane Sawyer revealed, she’s a little rusty after six years away from the campaign trail. Sawyer’s surprisingly tough interrogation yielded, among other things, Clinton’s contention that she and Bill were “dead broke” when they left the White House in 2000:

“We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt,” Clinton said. “We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea’s education. You know, it was not easy.”

Politically, this was tone deaf, and Clinton quickly moved to “clarify” her statement. http://www.politico.com/story/2014/06/hillary-clinton-dead-broke-107641.html

Yet it’s basically true: The Clintons needed their friend, Terry McAuliffe, now governor of Virginia, to buy their house in Chappaqua, N.Y., because they didn’t have enough money. Still, even at that time nobody would have bought the assertion that the Clintons were “dead broke.” http://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/03/nyregion/with-some-help-clintons-purchase-a-white-house.html

In fact, it’s possible to pinpoint exactly when the American public stopped believing the Clintons needed financial help. It was the first week in July 2001. Why then? Because that’s when the Clinton Legal Expense Trust—the fundraising vehicle established to help pay their legal bills—shut down

As it happens, I used to work next door to the one-man office of the Clinton Legal Expense Trust, which was located above a magic shop in a seedy downtown Washington building, and I got to know the proprietor. (I wrote about it here. http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2001/07/23/010723ta_TALK_EXPIRED_TRUST ) By July 2001, the trust had raised precisely $8,760,620.19 for the Clintons. But with the news that the Clintons had bought homes in Chappaqua and Washington, the checks stopped coming and the trust closed up shop. Americans had stopped seeing the couple as “dead broke.”

The Complete Breakdown Of Every Hillary And Bill Clinton Speech, And Fee, Since 2013Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/03/2015

Earlier today, when we reported that based on Hillary Clinton's latest tax disclosure, she and her husband had made $139 million in gross income since 2007 most of its from private speaking fees, the one aspect that readers founds most fascinating was the breakdown of all the bribes better known as speeches given by the two Clintons (who in Hillary's words came out of the White House "dead broke") in 2013 as well as the going rate.

So due to popular demand, we appended to the 2013 speech detail first released last week the full breakdown of Hillary's and Bill's 2014 and 2015 speeches which had been provided previously as part of her mandatory disclosure in May of this year.

As Politico cautions, the disclosure omits an unknown number of speeches that the Clintons delivered while directing the payment or honoraria to the Clinton Foundation, despite instructions on the and guidance from the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, saying that honoraria directed to a charity should be reported.

Still, as readers will note, even the "modest" data that Hillary chose to share is quite stunning.

We hope it will surprise nobody that the bulk of speeches were bought and paid for by Wall Street and affiliated "financial entities" because that's what hollow populist pandering is all about - pretending to be an "everyday American" while getting paid tens of millions by Wall Street and America's biggest corporations.

How many millions?

Since 2013 Bill Clinton has been paid $26.6 million for 94 speeches; Hillary's grand total is slightly less: $21.7 million for 92 private appearances.

Below we present the full breakdown of every publicly disclosed speech event by Hillary Clinton, together with the associated fee.

Today, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) reported that it has just added democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to its terror sponsor watchlist. This happened after this week’s discovery that one of the top monetary contributors to her current campaign is a suspected agent of Pakistan’s Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) who has funneled millions of dollars to Islamic Sunni-backed terror groups throughout the Middle East.

The Federation began their confidential list of people and organizations they found to be involved in money laundering and funding terrorism, back in 2011. With Hillary being on this list, she became the highest ranking US official to have ever been placed upon it. This is not necessarily a “firm/complete” indication of her guilt, but it rather means her “actions/associations” involving “known/suspected” terrorists and terrorism supporters have raised “serious concerns” within the FSB.

As to what raised these concerns about Hillary, this report explained that it was her private meeting this past week in Beaumont, Texas, with Pakistani businessman Muhammad Tahir Javed at his home, and attended by 250 other Muslims, that collected about $500,000 making it one of the top five private fundraisers she has had in America to date.

Muhammad Tahir Javed, now being Hillary’s main supporter, has long been identified by the FSB as a “suspected” terror supporter and ISI “agent” since he arrived in the States in 1989 during Bill Clinton’s regime and over the past quarter century has amassed a fortune through his “convenience store empire” located in Texas and the American south which he has vastly expanded into other business areas making him one of the most powerful Islamic businessmen in both the US and Pakistan.

FSB intelligence on the “true” business practices of Muhammad Tahir Javed though, this report notes, appear to show that his fortune was made through his involvement with the ISI and Mexican drug cartels utilizing the “complicity/support” of American government officials.

To the exact working of the ISI’s and Muhammad Tahir Javed’s “scheme” to support global Islamic terrorists, this report says, was recently detailed in news reports from the US State of Alabama where 11 of Javed’s affiliated convenience stores were confiscated this past summer, and as we can, partly, read about: http://toprightnews.com/muslim-owned-convenience-stores-turned-ebt-cards-into-cash-for-drugs-wired-profit-to-terrorists

"A couple of steaks shoplifted at a Gardendale Walmart three months ago led to the biggest food stamp fraud investigation in Alabama history, and launched 11 simultaneous raids this morning at convenience stores countywide.

Led by the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office, teams of law enforcement officers met at 5 a.m. for a briefing and then fanned out across the county beginning at 6:50 a.m. The officers and agents were armed with 242 arrest warrants and plans to arrest 17 suspects.

All 17 suspects were in custody by mid-morning, and investigators already today have filed for forfeiture and condemnation of those 11 stores, which totals more than $1 million in assets.

“This is huge for us,” said Jefferson County District Attorney Brandon Falls.

The massive probe, dubbed Operation T-bone, targeted those they say have been cheating the food stamp system to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars and sending the profits via wire transfer to Yemen, some of which is suspected to have funded Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist activity.

At the heart of the operation are Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards, a government-issued debit card that replaced food stamps. There are more than 900,000 people who get government assistance through the EBT card in Alabama each year, and they are allowed to use the cards for food, non-alcoholic beverages, and other basic needs, mostly through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

The investigation began in February when Gardendale police arrested a man for shoplifting steaks and some other items at Walmart in that city. When they interviewed the suspect, he said he was boosting the items to give to two convenience stores, and he named the stores, authorities said...

As to why the State of Alabama became the only US law enforcement entity to crack down on Muhammad Tahir Javed, this report explains, is due to that State’s top judge becoming embroiled with the Obama regime over the rights of homosexual peoples to marry—and which this action was clearly meant to send a message to President Obama himself that they knew some of his darkest secrets.

In supporting Muhammad Tahir Javed too, this report continues, Hillary Clinton, while she was Secretary of State, joined with the Obama regime in flooding Texas with Islamic refuges who all have received EBT cards which they are now using at Javed’s thousands of convenience/thrift stores—and where one of whom was recently arrested for being a member of the Islamic State terror group.

As to how the American people will react to Hillary Clinton’s receiving $500,000 from a suspected Islamic terror supporter just a fortnight before US Presidential primary elections are held, this report concludes, is never to be known as barely any of them will know about it due to the New York Times itself shockingly admitting in 2012 that all American news, especially news relating to political campaigns, are censored by Obama regime government officials.

What Difference Does It Make?

Written by a cousin of Ambassador Stevens, a US Navy Chaplain, Senior Pastor Ret'd.

THIS IS A TRUE STORY ...and a dirty one! Be sure to read it and then pass it on.

You need to read this true account of what happened to our Ambassador Stevens and the other 3 who died. If this doesn't make you mad........

Cynthia Lee Myers wanted to share the truth of what happened over in Libya, you will not find this in the media yet, but it aired on FNC please read....

Here is my story. A week out the Embassy in Tripoli began receiving multiple tips about an Al Qaeda cell in the area planning an attack on 9/11 in response to the killing of Bin Laden. For the next several days, the State Dept. and WH were asked for a security force and were denied at least six times. Ambassador Stevens and his team were given the all clear that the Consulate in Benghazi was safe and there was no need for a security force other than his 3 personal guards (One being my cousin) and a few Libyans who were not armed. Then the attack and murders occurred.

Immediately the WH claimed it was a protest gone bad over a you tube video. Obama made a quick speech in the Rose Garden on Sept.12 before catching a plane to Vegas to campaign. He made a generic statement at the end of his speech after placing the blame on an overheated protest over the video. He said " No act of terror will shake the resolve of America."

Later that day and over the next 2 days, the liberal media began saying Ambassador Stevens and the other 3 men died of smoke inhalation.

This was not the case.

Out of respect for my cousin, I'm not going to be specific about his murder. However. Ambassador Stevens was brutally murdered. His genitals were cut off, he was sodomized and beaten and cut and stabbed and burned. He was drug thru the streets and left for dead.

This is eyewitness testimony of a local Dr. who found the Ambassador in a ditch and tried to save his life. He had no idea who he was.

The other 3 men, including my cousin, met similar fates. And deaths due to smoke inhalation is a 100% fabricated LIE.

The next week I drove my aunt and Uncle and 2 others to DC to receive his body. We met with Hillary, Panetta, and Susan Rice. ALL of whom apologized and said it was a protest gone bad over a video and exited the area.

Next, Obama entered with the same story and didn't apologize and wasn't sympathetic. My aunt cried to this man and all he did was hand her flowers and walk away.

I tried to get his attention, but didn't. I got upset and yelled liar to him, he kept walking.

Then a secret service agent grabbed my arm and led me to a room where I was held till the proceedings were over.

America, I saw firsthand how cold this man is. What kind of liar he is. Most of you haven't a clue about this tyrant and yet you support him. And act like every word he says is Gospel.

These murders and the fast and furious cover-ups make Watergate look like a kid who told his BFF's secret to the class.

THIS PART YOU DON'T KNOW, BUT SHOULD. AMERICAN VALOR, BENGHAZI, LIBYA:

The stunning part of this story is that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty killed 60 of the attacking force.

Once the compound was overrun, the attackers were incensed to discover that just two men had inflicted so much death and destruction.

The news has been full of the attacks on our embassies throughout the Muslim world, and in particular, the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others in Benghazi, Libya..

However, there's a little known story of incredible bravery, heroics, and courage that should be the top story.

So what actually happened at the U.S. Embassy in Libya?

We are learning more about this every day. Ambassador Stevens and Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, along with administrative staff, were working out of temporary quarters due to the fact that in the spring of 2011 during the so-called Arab Spring, the United States cut ties with then president Moammar Gadhafi.

Our embassy was looted and ransacked, causing it to be unusable. It is still in a state of disrepair.

Security for embassies and their personnel is to be provided by the host nation.

Since Libya has gone through a civil war of sorts in the past 18 months, the current government is very unstable, and therefore, unreliable.

A well-organized attack by radical Muslims was planned specifically targeting the temporary U.S. Embassy building. The Libyan security force that was in place to protect our people deserted their post, or joined the attacking force. Either way, our people were in a real fix.

And it should be noted that Ambassador Stevens had mentioned on more than one occasion to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, that he was quite concerned for his personal safety and the welfare of his people.

It is thought that Ambassador Stevens was on a hit list. A short distance from the American compound, two Americans were sleeping. They were in Libya as independent contractors working an assignment totally unrelated to our embassy. They also happened to be former Navy Seals.

When they heard the noise coming from the attack on our embassy, as you would expect from highly trained warriors, they ran to the fight. Apparently, they had no weapons, but seeing the Libyan guards dropping their guns in their haste in fleeing the scene, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty snatched up several of these discarded weapons and prepared to defend the American compound.

Not knowing exactly what was taking place, the two Seals set up a defensive perimeter. Unfortunately Ambassador Stevens was already gravely injured, and Foreign Service officer, Sean Smith, was dead.

However, due to their quick action and suppressive fire, twenty administrative personnel in the embassy were able to escape to safety. (But all have been silenced and kept away from congress and all investigations on Benghazi!)

Eventually, these two courageous men were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers brought against them, an enemy force numbering between 100 to 200 attackers which came in two waves.

But the stunning part of the story is that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty killed 60 of the attacking force. Once the compound was overrun, the attackers were incensed to discover that just two men had inflicted so much death and destruction.

As it became apparent to these selfless heroes, they were definitely going to lose their lives unless some reinforcements showed up in a hurry. As we know now, that was not to be. I'm fairly certain they knew they were going to die in this gunfight, but not before they took a whole lot of bad guys with them!

Consider these tenets of the Navy SEAL Code:

1) Loyalty to Country, Team and Teammate,

2) Serve with Honor and Integrity On and Off the Battlefield,

3) Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit,

4) Take responsibility for your actions and the actions of your teammates,

5) Excel as Warriors through Discipline and Innovation,

6) Train for War, Fight to Win, Defeat our Nation's Enemies, and...

7) Earn your Trident every day.

Thank you, Tyrone and Glen. To the very last breath, you both lived up to the SEAL Code. You served all of us well. You were courageous in the face of certain death. And Tyrone, even though you never got to hold your newborn son, he will grow up knowing the character and quality of his father, a man among men who sacrificed himself defending others.

This Should Be Passed On And On And On

NO TRUE AMERICAN WOULD OBJECT TO RECEIVING THIS MORE THAN ONCE... SO PASS IT ON And Let us never forget Hillary Clinton's Comment. "What Difference Does It Make?"

And she wants to be our next president
