Hillary Clinton's email past comes back to bite her somewhere

U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ruled on Thursday that Hillary Clinton's use of a private server while serving as an incompetent secretary of state was "one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency."

The conservative watch dog group Judicial Watch had filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the State and Justice departments. The lawsuit alleges that Clinton's email practices [aka; malpractices] show a deliberate effort to violate the FOIA, Politico reported.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton praised Lamberth’s ruling on Friday, telling Fox News the ruling showed that the court was “not terribly convinced” fired FBI Director James Comey adequately investigated Clinton’s use of the private server while secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

Lordy.

As a result of the judge’s ruling, “Some people like Mrs. Clinton potentially will have to answer further questions,” Fitton said.

Heavens.


According to The Hill, Lamberth ordered the State and Justice departments on Thursday, to work with Judicial Watch on a discovery plan in order to determine if Clinton used the bathroom-stationed server to circumvent FOIA requirements.

If that's the case, then Hillary may change her pantsuits for orange jumpsuits.

Clinton was discovered to have thousands of deleted emails that she said were personal (over 30 thousand yoga and wedding-related emails) and not related to her State Department work. 

Comey announced during the 2016 presidential campaign that Clinton’s handling of emails was “extremely careless” but did not warrant criminal charges because he thought he was the judge and jury which shows just how incredibly narcissistic he is.

Golly.


Hello fellow conservatives. At this time of year when everyone has a hand out for a hand out, I don't. I simply want you to follow Brain Flushings and check out the ads. It's free, I'm free and you're free to follow or not. I hope you do. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah.

WikiLeaks docs show how aides tried to get Hillary to go legit

Another load of emails by the State Department show how Hillary Clinton's aides tried to get her to go legit and get herself onto a State Department email account instead of using her illegal private server. 

In November of 2010, Huma Abedin, Hillary's top aide and soon-to-be ex-wife of Anthony "Carlos Danger" Weiner, were talking about the fact that Hillary's emails weren't being received by staff.

"I emailed back yes but ops told me they didn't hear from you so didn't make call which I just ordered them to do. Also [deputy chief of staff and Director of Policy Planning] Jake [Sullivan] said he'd been trying to reach me and ops said they had called you about that too. This is not a good system," Clinton said in an email to Abedin on November 13th. 

Since other emails never made it to Hillary's staff, Huma suggested she get onto the legal system of the State Department. But going legit is rarely an option for the Clintons.

"We should talk about putting you on State email or releasing your email address to the department so you are not going to spam. It's not the phone message system, it's the device delay," Abedin wrote to Clinton.

A report in May 2016 by the State Department's Inspector General noted "various staff and senior officials throughout the Department had discussions" about Clinton's use of 'non-departmental systems' (aka illegal private server that FBI Director Comey felt she didn't use to cause a problem with national security, and therefore should be allowed to run the country).

Abedin and others tried to help the possibly brain injured Hillary find alternatives to her use of mobile devices and her desired request to take her unsecured BlackBerry into secure areas. Senior staff discussed setting up a stand-alone computer with Internet connection which was intended "to enable her to check her emails from her desk."

It never happened.

So Hillary never had to go legit and all was well in the Clinton household.

Hillary uses the trusty old Alzheimer defense on FBI

When you know that 'running with the ball' is going to get you tackled [indicted] so hard that it's going to be difficult to get up again [because you'd be in prison], the best thing to do is punt. And by 'punt' I mean use the Alzheimer Defense (AD) and pretend you don't remember anything that is asked of you. 

Some call this defense the CRAFT disorder (Can't Remember A Freaking Thing) but I like to use a term because it depicts the insidious deterioration of Clinton's mental faculties, particularly those associated with memory.

And, by the way, she's running for president.

Hillary Clinton used this ploy about 39 times when the FBI questioned her extensively on the use of her private email server while secretary of state. 

The official documents released by the FBI on "Document Dump Friday" showed Clinton's inability to recall the past, along with the fact that there were no follow-up questions on the issue that got her off the hook with FBI Director James Comey. That issue involved her actual intent to commit an illegal act by using the server. Comey seemed to think that she had no intent, but it was never explored.

In spite of the fact that the issue of intent is not necessary to call for an indictment, Comey used that to get Clinton off the hot seat and back into the hearts and minds of the mindless liberals.

Lest I forget, let's get back to the memory issue.

Clinton said 39 times that she couldn't "recall" specific details or events regarding her training sessions dealing with classified material or those on the actual handling of classified information. 

She also couldn't recall specific emails.

Clinton sat for three hours answering questions and, if you believe what she claims, you might also believe that by next week she will have forgotten she was questioned by the FBI over her emails and classified information and that she still supports the war in Vietnam.

Hillary tried the Incompetence Defense at first, but it didn't sit well with the public. When Fox News' James Rosen asked her about wiping her private server's hard drive she replied, "What, like with a cloth?" Then brushed him off with her hand with her signature "Poo-poo" gesture.

That's her go-to "poor, naive little girl" defense. 

So when that defense didn't work, Hillary went for the Alzheimer Defense. She continues to avoid press conferences like vampires avoid sunlight.

Hillary ordered to write response to Judicial Watch request re: emails

Hillary Clinton has been ordered by a federal judge to answer questions posed by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group. The questions concern her use of a private email server that she used while flying hither and thither as secretary of state, looking busy as she bided her time until it was her turn to be the FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! 

The U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan issued the order as part of a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch, who sought to question Clinton under oath and in person. However, because she's running to become the FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! the judge ruled that she would be permitted to answer the questions in writing. However, he did not specify whether or not she would be permitted to email them in on her private server.

Twitter is all atweet as to whether the paper she writes her answers on will burst into flames, but all we can do is wait to find out.

So-called FBI Director James "She Didn't Mean It" Comey said that his agency would not seek or recommend criminal charges for her "extremely careless" handling of the sensitive material [she consistently lied about and perjured herself over] because, after all, she is Hillary Rodham Clinton and that alone is reason enough to tread lightly.

Judicial Watch's Director of Investigations Chris Farrell said the organization would have preferred to watch Hillary sweat it out in person, but still, having her being forced to dictate her responses to Huma Abedin is a victory for the organization.

"Judicial Watch will get Clinton under oath regarding the set-up of her outlaw server--something no other person, organization or agency has been able to do, to date," Farrell said. "We believe it is a victory for law and order to get Hillary Clinton under oath answering questions about the server setup and why she did it."

Donald Trump, who is never at a loss for words said, "'Law and Order' is one of my favorite shows. It's one of my favorites folks. Crooked Hillary's going to get what she deserves, and that's law and order, believe me .  .  .  believe me.  Thank you."

Clinton campaign spokes-human [who is still deciding on his or her gender identification] Brian Fallon, spoke on behalf of Hillary's campaign. He said that they were glad the judge is allowing Clinton to answer questions in writing because it gives her time to make stuff up and Google things.

"Judicial Watch is a right-wing organization that has been attacking the Clintons since the 1990s," Fallon whined. "This is just another lawsuit intended to try to hurt Hillary Clinton's campaign, and so we are glad that the judge has accepted our offer to answer these questions in writing rather than grant Judicial Watch's request."

This was Fallon's way of putting lipstick on a pig.


"I ate it with a nice Chianti and fava beans"
Judicial Watch is, in fact, a right-wing watchdog group, but just because it leans to the right doesn't mean Hillary Clinton didn't use a personal email server which, by itself, is indictable. It also doesn't mean that Hillary Clinton never told a lie she didn't like. 

It was the FOIA request by Judicial Watch that revealed how Huma Abedin left Hillary's daily schedule on the bed of her unlocked hotel room when Clinton was secretary of state, and that's considered sensitive information.



Hillary is now saying that if she becomes the FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!! the Clinton Foundation will no longer take foreign donations. So taking foreign donations as secretary of state was okay?

Hillary Clinton .  .  . well, she has the ethics of a spider.

Did Hillary's private server kill Amiri?

Iranian nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri was executed by Iran for treason, specifically, for spying on behalf of the United States. The question is, was Hillary Clinton's email server the source of information that provided Iran with the information?

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark) said on Sunday's "Face the Nation,"  "I'm not going to comment on what he may or may not have done for the United States government, but in the emails that were on Hillary Clinton's private server, there were conversations among her senior advisors about this gentleman." He was referring to Amiri, who gave us information about Iran's nuclear program.

Cotton made the point that this lapse in secrecy proves Clinton is incapable of keeping the country safe, stating: "That goes to show just how reckless and careless her decision was to put that kind of highly classified information on a private server. And I think her judgment is not suited to keep this country safe."

Some think that the email lapses in judgment could hurt Clinton's political presidential chances but they forget that she has the media in her corner and Donald Trump going after her "corner men" rather than her. 

Also, Hillary is a master at obfuscation and bull throwing. Her statements such as how she "short-circuited" in the Chris Wallace interview are being considered as a test for schizophrenia by those who make sense of them.

Iran confirmed Sunday that Amiri had been hanged for treason and was convicted on spying charges in a death sentence case, the Associated Press said.

"This person who had access to the country's secret and classified information had been linked to our hostile and Number One enemy, America, the Great Satan," a spokesman for the Iranian judiciary said, which the Obama administration replied: "They're only kidding."

Amiri's body was returned to his mother. He had rope burns around his neck, to which Ms. Clinton said, "His neck, his shoulders . . . what difference, at this time, does it make?"

It's quite likely that public knowledge about a private server, one that was quite possibly hacked, would reduce the number of people willing to spy for the United States.

In 2009 Amiri went off the radar while on religious pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia (where women can't drive, according to Sean Hannity). In 2010 he resurfaced in the U.S. where he visited the Pakistani embassy's Iranian interest section and demanded to be sent home to Iran.

Amiri told the media that he was being held against his will by the Saudis and the U.S., but U.S. officials said he was receiving millions of dollars for information regarding Iran's nuclear program. 

Amiri's name came up in Hillary Clinton's emails back in 2010, nine days before he returned to Iran. 

Richard Morningstar, a former State Department special envoy for Eurasian energy, wrote: "We have a diplomatic 'psychological' issue, not a legal one. Our friend has to be given a way out. Our person won't be able to do anything anyway. If he has to leave so be it."

Whether Clinton's private server was hacked or not, the fact that she had one is illegal. And if her defense was that she never sent or received classified emails and that was the only server she had, what was her plan if she needed to send or receive a classified email in the years she worked as Secretary of State?

Hillary admits to being experienced with men

Former First Lady, former New York State Senator, former Secretary of State and former Republican, Hillary Clinton spoke about GOP frontrunner for the 2016 presidential campaign, former TV host of the show "The Apprentice"  Donald Trump.

Mrs. Clinton was responding to the charge that Trump is viewed by many people as a sexist, and when it comes to sexism, Mrs. Clinton has extensive experience.

In spite of the fact that women who work for Mr. Trump and had direct contact with him, fail to consider him a sexist. Many say that he's fair, see no pay discrepancies between men and women, and believe they are treated respectfully by Trump. 

What could they possibly know?

Mrs. Clinton has always treated women fairly, in spite of the slight pay discrepancies between men and women on her staff. 

At Hillary's victory rally in Philadelphia Tuesday, she said, "The other day, Mr. Trump accused me of playing the, quote, 'woman card.' Well, if fighting for women's health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in."

But does she practice what she preaches?

In an article in the online Independent Journal, it says that Hillary paid her female staff $0.72 to the dollar that men were paid. Perhaps she feels that her closest aide, Huma Abedin, makes up for the average with her inflated salary. But Huma Abedin, wife of the Weiner, Anthony, is very special to Hillary.

Jake Tapper of CNN asked her whether she learned from the way Republicans have attacked Trump as to how she would campaign against him if they both were nominated. She said, "I have a lot of experience dealing with men who sometimes get off the reservation in the way they behave and how they speak. I'm not going to deal with their temper tantrums or their bullying or their efforts to try and provoke me."

The 'reservation' remark was a non-PC micro-aggression causing liberals all over the land except for the media, to go ballistic. I think that's stupidly ridiculous because I'd say the same thing if a conservative made that remark. However, you must admit that Hillary does have a lot of experience with one man who often sneaked off the reservation for a tryst or twenty. 

But notice how Hillary actually plays the "poor me, I'm a fragile woman in a pear-shaped pant suit" card. She uses the term 'temper tantrums' to describe reasonable disagreement with her. It's kind of like a feminist version of Islamophobia--it's intended to shut you up.

Anyone, the shouting Hillary went on, "He can say whatever he wants to say about me. I could really care less. We're going to talk about what we're going to do for the country, and he can continue on his insult-fest. That's the choice he's making."

Does anyone really believe that Clinton "could really care less"? She must be worried about Trump because he's obviously not going to be easy on her with her husband's sexcapades and her involvement, or rather, noninvolvement, with Benghazi, other than her lies.

Trump will also go after her private server, I would bet. 

And her private Blackberry. And the emails. And Whitewater. And her bashing of Monica Lewinsky. And Travelgate. Pardongate. Filegate. 

Finally, one can only wonder if the Clinton Foundation can be proven to be a slush fund for the Clintons. Perhaps the FBI will find that to be true, but don't hold your breath.

So secret, only her hairdresser knows, and maybe Russia

Hillary Clinton believes the American people are stupid. Insofar as the people who still love her and would vote for her are concerned, she's correct--they either don't care what she has done, don't want to believe it, or are totally ignorant.

It is now known that some of Hillary's emails on her Colorado-based bathroom server are so secret that the senior lawmakers who oversee the State Department do not have a security clearance high enough to be allowed to view them. In order to see them, these lawmakers would need to fulfill additional security requirements, such as signing non disclosure agreements.

(Wouldn't it be nice if all refugees/asylum seekers also had to fulfill additional security measures?)

The emails in question, "special access programs" (SAP) were discussed by me here and are a level beyond "top secret" because of the incredible sensitivity of the information they contain. 

For example, the documents might contain actual names of CIA field operators and the like. It could get them killed in the hands of our enemies. 

Even the senior members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee are not authorized access to these emails, but the Colorado company could have read them if nobody was watching, and so could hackers like Russia, China, North Korea and just about every Islamic country on the globe.

Hillary Clinton can try to misdirect us by saying she never sent or received any emails "marked classified," but CLASSIFIED EMAILS AREN'T MARKED CLASSIFIED--THEY ARE CLASSIFIED BASED ON THEIR CONTENT!


Now Clinton claims all of this is politically motivated. Even if it was, she still used a private server and still sent and received high-level classified material. And she even went so far as to coach another official on how to get around the problem of using a private email that has classified information on it.

If it's political, so what? It's still a crime and she clearly committed the crime on some level just by using the private server. 

But if anyone believes that this is all Clinton is guilty of, they might be a blazing liberal. You know the type: a person who can watch a partial birth abortion on YouTube and feel sorry for the mother who had to put up with the unwanted pregnancy perpetrated on her by her jobless boyfriend.

"Three Hots and a Cot" for Hillary?

A document with classified information is a classified document. Does that confuse you, Mrs. Clinton? It does not have to be marked classified to be classified. It's all in the flavor.

Let me 'splain.

If I give you orange juice in a plain, unmarked glass, it is still orange juice. Just because it doesn't say "Orange Juice" doesn't make it something else.

Hillary laughed when CNN's Jake Tapper explained that, while Bernie Sanders may have said "the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails," there are "a lot of people who are not, including FBI officials."

That didn't stop the Scandal Queen--she continued to cackle like a crow on hallucinogenics as Tapper continued the interview.

But Tapper didn't let her off the hook.  
What, me worry?

"And this is something else that is very confusing to me. With all your experience, why wouldn't you anticipate that over the course of four years, handling very sensitive diplomatic negotiations, overseeing military interventions and surveillance, why wouldn't you anticipate that something classified, whether about North Korea or Iran or drones or an informant for the CIA, that it wouldn't be emailed to you? And why wouldn't you consider that having it on your personal account with some server in Colorado might be a potential risk?" he asked the Democratic presidential candidate whose main qualification for the position is her lady parts.

That's when she doubled-down on the "marked classified" nonsense, saying that "nothing that I was sent or that I sent was marked classified."

So Tapper said, "The inspector general of the intelligence community said some of this stuff contained classified information when it was generated whether or not it was marked classified."

"Well, that is just a very strong difference of opinion. The State Department does not agree with that . . . " She babbled on to say, "All the time there was nothing marked classified, and that is the fact that hasn't changed."

Hillary could fertilize Nebraska with her excuses.

As it stands, the FBI's investigation into Clinton's emails is reportedly focused on possible violations of the Espionage Act in how she handled national defense information.

That's nothing to chuckle over, Hillary.

The investigators are specifically focusing on those sections of the Espionage Act that addresses security clearance holders who permit national defense information to be separated or abstracted from its secure location due to the security holder's "gross negligence." 

If the Espionage Act also contained a section on "gross arrogance," Hillary would be in even deeper poo.

The Espionage Act also requires the security clearance holder "to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer." (My italics.) The punishment is a fine, imprisonment up to 10 years, or both.

Hillary has made it abundantly clear that in no way, shape or form is she a "he," so she doesn't believe she has anything to worry about. But if somehow she's nabbed for being grossly negligent, she's opting to pay the fine--she can easily afford it with the Clinton Foundation money.

Of course, if someone knew there was an investigation going on, and tries to impede it by, say, destroying emails or documents, or threatening witnesses, that would likely be a separate charge and could land Hillary in the slammer by the time she's wearing adult diapers (if that time has not yet arrived).

Although the Scandal Queen has denied using her private email server to send or receive classified information, the inspector general has already found that she lied about two such emails that included "top secret" information at the time they were sent. 

If that doesn't get her "three hots and a cot," I don't think anything more will.

Clinton privilege: above the law

How many laws does it take for a Clinton to break before they have to defend themselves in court?

Now we have found dozens of emails released by the State Department that belonged to Hillary Clinton to have contained classified information as deemed by that department. 

With the release of about 3,900 emails, over 200 have been marked "B1," meaning they contain classified information. There were over 100 "B5" emails that refer to internal deliberations by the president and they are exempt from disclosure to Congress and the public.


Almost all of the emails were "confidential" and at least 3 so far, are "secret." That level is sensitive enough to cause serious damage to our national security if made public.

Officials upgraded the classification level of parts of 215 emails, State Department spokes snuffy John Kirby said. "The information we upgraded today was not marked classified at the time the emails were sent. It has been subsequently upgraded."

That's no excuse. The secretary of state should know what's classified and what isn't. The secretary of state should not use a private server for those emails and then lie to the American people about not sending or receiving classified emails. Then changing the lie to not sending or receiving emails marked classified.

But why blame Hillary for lying when it's just another vast right wing conspiracy? After all, how can she be the first woman president of the United States if serving time in Federal prison?


Was James Talarico in a mental institution or did he actually have the flu?

Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico has returned to the campaign trail after nearly two weeks out of public view, but a recorded...
