Do you remember when???



Remember Whitewater? 
20 years ago James Comey as an attorney on the Senate Whitewater Investigation, was looking into the conduct of President Bill Clinton and first lady Hillary Clinton.


The investigation was to determine whether Bill Clinton used his political position as governor of Arkansas (in the 1980s) to push through an illegal loan to benefit Bill and Hillary's business partner in Whitewater.  Several people involved in Whitewater went to jail, but no criminal prosecution was in the cards for Bill and Hillary.  Remember, James Comey was the Deputy Special Counsel for the Whitewater investigation....

In Christopher Anderson's book, American Evita: Hillary Clinton's Rise to Power, Anderson gives details of the New Square offenders pardon by Bill Clinton (who had been convicted of bilking the government of $30 million dollars).  Christopher Anderson relates that at Hillary's urging, Bill gave clemency to 16 Puerto Rican terrorists who took the lives of 16 Americans and wounded many others.  Anderson tells us that Hillary admired the Marxist Carl Oglesby and Saul Alinsky.  It is from her admiration for Saul Alinsky that she formed her belief that "the only way to make a real difference is to acquire power."

The pardon of billionaire Marc Rich (who traded illegally with America's enemies including Iran) by President Bill Clinton was something that everyone knew reeked of impropriety, after learning that Rich's wife donated $450,000 to the Clinton Library.  Again, James Comey oversaw investigations of the pardon matters, as well.  Unbelievably, James Comey did not recommend charging the Clintons in any of these matters.

Comey has made "we the people" Hillary's judge and Jury.



Is Hillary Morally Unfit to Be President?



By Patrick J. Buchanan  -  Thursday - July 7, 2016

Does Hillary Clinton possess the integrity and honesty to be president of the United States? Or are those quaint and irrelevant considerations in electing a head of state in 21st-century America?

These are the questions put on the table by the report from FBI Director James Comey on what his agents unearthed in their criminal investigation of the Clinton email scandal.

Clinton dodged an FBI recommendation that she be indicted for gross negligence in handling U.S. security secrets, a recommendation that would have aborted her campaign. But Director Comey dynamited the defense she has been offering the country.

Comey all but declared that Clinton lied when she said she had State Department approval for the email server in her home.

He all but declared that she lied when she said she had only one server, and that no classified or secret material was transmitted. He also implied that she lied when she said she had used only one device and had turned over all of her work-related emails to State. The FBI found “several thousand” more.

Clinton said her emails were stored in a secure area. This, too, was false. Hostile actors and hostile regimes, said Comey, had access to email systems of those with whom she communicated.

Comey said he found no criminal “intent” in what Clinton did.

Yet, he charged her with having been “extremely careless” with U.S. national security secrets, a phrase that seems synonymous with the gross negligence needed to indict and convict.

While recommending against prosecution, Comey added, “This is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequence. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions.”

Translation: Were Clinton still the secretary of state and were such recklessness with secrets to be discovered, she could have been forced to resign and stripped of her security clearance forever.

Yet if Clinton is elected president, our commander in chief for the next four years, and her confidantes Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, will all be individuals the FBI has found to be reckless and unreliable in the handling of national security secrets.
We will have security risks running the armed forces of the USA.

Nor is this the first time Clinton’s truthfulness has been called into question. Twenty years ago, she fabricated a tale about crossing a tarmac in Bosnia “under sniper fire,” and running with “our heads down.” Photos showed a peaceful arrival featuring a smiling little girl.

Family members of the dead heroes of Benghazi’s “13 Hours” say Clinton told them she would see to it that the creator of the anti-Islamic video that incited the mob that killed their sons would be run down, all the while knowing it had been a planned terrorist attack.

In 1996, The New York Times’ William Safire went over all of the statements Clinton had made in Whitewater and related scandals of Bill Clinton’s first term, compared them with subsequently revealed truth, and pronounced Hillary Clinton a “congenital liar.”

She has claimed she tried to join the Marines in 1975, and long contended she was named for famed mountaineer Edmund Hillary, who conquered Mount Everest. Only Sir Edmund climbed Everest when Hillary was 6 years old. The perfect running mate for this serial fabricator would be the Cherokee lass Elizabeth Warren.

Still, a question arises as to Comey’s motives in airing the findings of an FBI investigation. Normally, the bureau passes on the evidence it has found, along with its recommendation, to the Justice Department. And Justice decides whether to prosecute.
Instead, Comey called a press conference, documented the charge that Clinton was “extremely careless,” contradicted, point by point, the story she has told the public, then announced he was recommending against prosecution.
What was behind this extraordinary performance?

By urging no prosecution, but providing evidence for a verdict of criminal negligence in handing classified material, Comey was saying:
I am not recommending prosecution, because, to do that, would be to force Hillary Clinton out of the race, and virtually decide the election of 2016. And that is my not decision. That is your decision.

You, the American people, should decide, given all this evidence, if Clinton should be commander in chief. You decide if a public figure with a record of such recklessness and duplicity belongs in the Oval Office.

Comey was making the case against Clinton as the custodian of national security secrets with a credibility the GOP cannot match, while refusing to determine her fate by urging an indictment, and instead leaving her future in our hands.

And, ultimately, should not this decision rest with the people, and not the FBI?
If, knowing what we know of the congenital mendacity of Hillary Clinton, the nation chooses her as head of state and commander in chief, then that will tell us something about the America of 2016.

And it will tell us something about the supposed superiority of democracy over other forms of government.


Here’s a theory I have.  Perhaps Comey believes that Hillary will be more likely to be defeated than any other Democrat that might replace her.  If that’s the case, I sure hope it doesn’t backfire.  If Hillary is elected, Comey will be public enemy number one.

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?



The federal Government has always been a strong enforcer of keeping secrets a secret.  
Those who were even the least little bit in violation have always been punished in the harshest and most excessive manner. 
I myself kept secrets from my own wife, family, and closest friends for over forty years; (until I learned for sure that they had been declassified) even though I knew they were no longer of much importance.

For those of you who may not know, there are three different levels of classification; top secret, secret, and classified, with classified being the lowest level of importance.  Divulging any classified information, regardless of the class of classification, is in fact a felony.  It does not matter if it was done intentionally or accidentally through carelessness or mishandling, it is STILL a felony, although the penalty would probably be much more severe if intentional.   People have been hanged for intentionally divulging top secret information. 

It is interesting to note that the Obama administration has prosecuted more violations under the 1917 Espionage Act than all prior administrations combined.  See following link:  http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2014/jan/10/jake-tapper/cnns-tapper-obama-has-used-espionage-act-more-all-/

Do you not find it just a bit strange that this extreme, unforgiving record of prosecution for the mishandling of classified information suddenly came to a halt just in time to save Hillary?

This is nothing less than a slap in the face to everyone who is expected to play by the rules and obey the rule of law.  This country is based on rule of law, and everybody is expected to obey rule of law.  The Constitution requires equal enforcement of the law for everyone.  Without rule of law and equal enforcement of the law, we have nothing.

FBI Director James Comey, in a press conference, condemned Clinton saying that she and her colleagues were “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information,” including Top Secret material.   See following link:   https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/statement-by-fbi-director-james-b.-comey-on-the-investigation-of-secretary-hillary-clintons-use-of-a-personal-e-mail-system

Congressman Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight Committee said:   We are in a crisis because Hillary Clinton, if the voters do not stop her, will be the next President of the United States.  She will, in fact, on Day One say, “Pardon me,” and she’ll mean it.  She’ll have pardoned herself.  She will have, in fact, gone from being a criminal involved in a criminal enterprise (I think he was referring to Clinton Cash ) and somebody who flaunted the security laws, the privacy laws, the presidential and the Federal Records Act, and gotten away with it.





Here's the best tweet of the day...

Leonardo DiCaprio, The Lord of Global Warming



DiCaprio flies his LA friends 6,000 miles around the world so they can listen to his speech on GLOBAL WARMING

When Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio hosts a reception for a string of A-list stars, supermodels and wealthy philanthropists later this month, he will make an impassioned plea for more action to be taken on global warming.
But instead of holding the event in Los Angeles, where most of his guests are based, they will fly halfway around the world to the glitzy French resort of St Tropez – at enormous cost to the environment.

It is estimated DiCaprio has potentially emitted up to 418 tons of CO2 this year alone because of his globe-trotting.   SO, if CO2 really did cause Global warming, he is one of the biggest offenders.


 

Donald Trump Says “the fix is in” on the FBI’s criminal probe of Hillary Clinton.



NEW YORK – A Donald Trump Tweet late Saturday afternoon adds to the growing concern “the fix is in” on the FBI’s criminal probe of Hillary Clinton.
CNN is reporting its sources expect an announcement to be made within two weeks that no charges will be filed against the Democratic presidential candidate for president.

At 4:06 p.m Eastern time Saturday, within hours of Hillary Clinton’s interview with the FBI, Teddy Davis, a senior producer at CNN, began tweeting that the “expectation” is that no criminal charges will be brought against Clinton, provided no wrongdoing emerged in today’s interview.

On Saturday, various news sources reported earlier in the day that Cheryl Mills, Hillary’s chief of staff at the State Department, accompanied Mrs. Clinton to the FBI interview.


Mills’ attendance at Clinton’s FBI interview adds to the controversy calling for Attorney General Loretta Lynch to recuse herself in the FBI investigation of the Hillary Clinton email controversy that developed Friday when news sources revealed former President Bill Clinton delayed his takeoff in order to maneuver a 20-25 private meeting with Lynch in her airplane on the tarmac at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, Arizona.

Loretta Lynch and Cheryl Mills law firm tied to Hillary Clinton


Lynch was with the Washington-headquartered international law firm Hogan & Hartson LLP from March 2002 through April 2010.

Cheryl Mills also worked at Hogan & Hartson, for two years, starting in 1990, before she joined then President-elect Bill Clinton’s transition team, on her way to securing a position as White House deputy counsel in the Clinton administration.

On May 27, in her Judicial Watch deposition on pages 12-13 of the transcript, Mills explained she had worked for Hogan & Hartson prior to working at the White House.

The exact question-and-answer sequence was recorded as follows:
Question: OK, and when did you graduate from Virginia, from UVA [University of Virginia].

Answer: Do I have to say that? I am so old. I graduated from UVA in 1987, and I graduated from Stanford Law School in 1990.

Question: OK. Great. Thank you. And right out of law school you went to a law firm. Is that right?

Answer: I did. I went to work at Hogan & Hartson, which is a law firm here in Washington, D.C., though their name has changed.

Question: OK. And what did you do for them, practice as a litigator, or which –
Answer: I represented school districts that were still seeking to implement the promises of Brown vs. The Board of Education.

Question: OK. Is that litigation?

Answer: So it was a conglomerate of activities, but also included litigation.
Question: OK. And then after that?

Answer: After that I went to work in the White House. In the in-between period I went and worked on the Clinton campaign and on the transition. And then went to work in the White House, and was at the – in the White House for about seven years.

Question: OK. And when did you start working in the White House? Not specific date, but year-wise.

Answer: Oh, I know. So it would have been in 1993.

According to documents Hillary Clinton’s first presidential campaign made public in 2008, Hogan & Hartson’s New York-based partner Howard Topaz was the tax lawyer who filed income tax returns for Bill and Hillary Clinton beginning in 2004.

In addition, Hogan & Hartson in Virginia filed a patent trademark request on May 19, 2004, for Denver-based MX Logic Inc., the computer software firm that developed the email encryption system used to manage Clinton’s private email server beginning in July 2013. A tech expert has observed that employees of MX Logic could have had access to all the emails that went through her account.

In 1999, President Bill Clinton nominated Lynch for the first of her two terms as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, a position she held until she joined Hogan & Hartson in March 2002.

While there is no evidence that Lynch played a direct role either in the tax work done by the firm for the Clintons or in linking Hillary’s private email server to MX Logic, the ethics of the legal profession hold all partners jointly liable for the actions of other partners in a business.

“If Hogan and Hartson previously represented the Clintons on tax matters, it is incumbent upon U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to [disclose] what, if any, role she had in such tax matters,” said Tom Fitton, president of Washington-based Judicial Watch.

A robot-powered burger joint is coming to San Francisco.



A company called Momentum Machines has built a robot that could radically change the fast-food industry and have some line cooks looking for new jobs.
The company's robot can "slice toppings like tomatoes and pickles immediately before it places the slice onto your burger, giving you the freshest burger possible." The robot is "more consistent, more sanitary, and can produce ~360 hamburgers per hour." That's one burger every 10 seconds.

The next generation of the device will offer "custom meat grinds for every single customer. Want a patty with 1/3 pork and 2/3 bison ground to order? No problem." 

  




Indicted or not, Hillary Clinton could lose politically



Indicted or not indicted, Clinton could lose politically
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton has been interviewed Saturday by the FBI about her use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill says in a statement the voluntary interview with federal agents took place Saturday.
The interview was not unexpected and does not suggest that Clinton or anyone else is likely to face prosecution. Legal experts view criminal prosecution as exceedingly unlikely. The interview may indicate that the Justice Department's yearlong probe is drawing to a close.
Still, it's awkward for Democrats to have FBI agents question Clinton mere weeks before their party formally nominates her for president.
