Hillary & her Bimbos at work (from the FBI notes)

The latest Friday FBI dump contains 189 pages, with much of the identifying information redacted, making it another process of elimination, as to who is being interviewed, based on who else is mentioned in that interview.  Comey’s charade with these releases has nothing to do with transparency, but everything to do with his trying to salvage his reputation and also bury this story with information overload.  There’s so much politically-damaging information about the Obama administration, in general, the State Department, in specific, and Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, in totality, that as you read along, the Keystone Cop optics, of a bunch of dimwitted BIMBOS  at work, makes you wonder if the cast of Clueless was running the State Department, with Alicia Silverstone playing the role of Secretary of State.

The national security implications aren’t just that every half-decent foreign intelligence agency has all of her email traffic from her private server. It’s a foregone conclusion, that assuredly due to her being a high-value intelligence target for them, and her server being completely unsecured, it was hacked. There’s no way the Russians missed this opportunity. The other side of the national security equation is she and her cadre of bungling bimbos might be running our nation’s national security after November and plenty of Americans seem okay with that.

Her email server highlights the Clinton corruption, but the cover-up speaks to President Obama. His entire administration, to include him, engaged in risky handling of national security information. He was emailing her at her private email address. The IG had cited the US embassy in Japan, run by Caroline Kennedy, as another huge national security nightmare, due to risky personal email use.

Back when the Ukraine mess started, Russia leaked an intercepted phone call, between State Dept. flunkie, Victoria Nuland, and the US ambassador in Kiev, to western media. Nuland was using an unsecured phone. That should have been the end of her career, but she laughed it off and Jen Psaki, State Department spokeswoman, said:

“We think this is a new low in Russian tradecraft, in terms of publicizing, posting,” Psaki told reporters yesterday in Washington.”

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/…

It wasn’t a new low for the Russians – it was excellent intelligence-gathering and savvy propaganda use of that intelligence. These fools in the Obama administration have no clue about national security. The “new low” was that this stupid woman, Nuland, with her “expertise” on RUSSIA, used an unsecured phone to talk to the US ambassador in UKRAINE, knowing how the Russians monitor American embassies and personnel, especially in Ukraine. This is the cluelessness.

This latest batch of FBI notes shows one of Hillary’s flunkies telling the FBI that she was verbally reprimanded for leaving a briefing book:

“Hanley was given “verbal security counseling” after she accidentally left a classified document and a sensitive “briefing book” in a Russian hotel suite she was using with Clinton.

Diplomatic security officers “found a classified document from the briefing book in the suite during a sweep following Clinton and Hanley’s departure” and later told Hanley “the briefing book and the document should never have been in the suite.””

http://www.washingtonexaminer….

Hillary and these BIMBOS will be running foreign policy and entrusted to keep us safe, if Hillary is elected…

Unfortunately, Trump picks people like Roger Stone, Lewandowski, Pierson, Manafort, Kellyanne and Bannon, which isn’t very reassuring.

Same old Public Corruption

The media’s news hounds leaped on the news that Ted Cruz announced he will endorse Donald Trump, but they are completely AWOL on investigating Hillary’s email server scandal, other than giving it the most cursory reporting, before dismissing it and jumping back into exposing Trump’s corruption.

Trump’s corruption needs to be exposed, but so does the Clinton corruption and most assuredly, the media needs to quit selling the Obama administration “narratives” and report on the Obama corruption, which has now led to the corruption of the FBI.  The partisan reporting results from the liberal media’s partisan political ideology.

This post jumps around a bit and it goes way beyond Cruz’ lack of integrity, to the  WHOLESALE PUBLIC CORRUPTION.

Ted Cruz endorsed Trump today, so you know Cruz thinks there’s some political advantage for himself in this.  I’ve never felt comfortable with Cruz’ character.  So, Trump insulted Cruz’ wife and went along with the story that Cruz’ father was present with Lee Harvey Oswald and yet, Ted Cruz, for personal political gain, can still endorse Trump???  I suspect most #NeverTrump people will cave in the end.

Back in May, I posted “A GOP Post Mortem”.  I don’t know if the Cruz’ father/JFK story is pure fiction, if there’s some connection between his father and Lee Harvey  Oswald or Cuban intelligence, or if Cuban/Russian intelligence fabricated this entire story as a disinformation effort, BUT something is VERY wrong with this story appearing in the middle of an American election in 2016 (especially with all the overt Russian intelligence interference in our election).  I sure would like to know, not only if there’s anything to this story (unlikely as that may be), even more so, I would like to know WHERE this story originated and how it ended up in the National Enquirer.

The email leaks, all over the place, keep illuminating all sorts of corruption and also a concerted foreign effort to interfere in our election.  Trump’s campaign is as corrupt as Hillary’s and geesh, Corey Lewandowski is still drawing a paycheck from Trump, while he’s working for CNN.  I wonder if he’s being paid by Clinton operatives too.  Speaking of operatives, David Brock, the Media Matters/Soros front guy, is running 14 Pro-Clinton operations out of his office.  Zero Hedge blog states:

Submitted by Andrew Kerr via The Citizens Audit,

This is serious.

  • David Brock operates over a dozen pro-Clinton organizations from his office in Washington DC.
  • Uncovered records expose a constant flow of money between his organizations.
  • Brock’s unregistered Professional Solicitor, the Bonner Group, receives a 12.5% cut every time money is moved.

There’s a reason why David Brock chooses to house an unregistered Professional Solicitor in his office to raise money for his conglomerate of Super PACs and non-profits.

Professional Solicitors are required to disclose their active solicitation contracts.  Brock wants his unregistered solicitor, the Bonner Group, to keep their client list hidden for a very specific reason.

David Brock is laundering money

David Brock has 7 non-profits, 3 Super PACs, one 527-committee, one LLC, one joint fundraising committee, and one unregistered solicitor crammed into his office in Washington DC.”

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-20/money-laundering-scheme-exposed-14-pro-clinton-super-pacs-non-profits-implicated

I wonder if the FBI will bother to investigate this…  What a joke.  Comey will find some excuse, Brock’s just “extremely careless” with his accounting or something…

There’s a Washington Post reporter, David Fahrenthold,  hot on the trail, exposing the Trump Foundation corruption, but he doesn’t bother to even look at the Clinton Foundation corruption.  Kurt Eichenwald, at Newsweek,  wrote a lengthy piece, detailing all the dubious foreign connections in Trump’s financial empire and the Trump Foundation, but he completely exonerated the Clintons with their Clinton Foundation….  sure, “nothing to see there, just move along”.  This is the partisan liberal press at work – they work to cover-up for the Clintons, at every turn.  Andrea Mitchell is so overtly a Hillary cheerleader, that the Hillary campaign should be paying her as a campaign spokesperson.

Trump and the Clintons are the same CORRUPTION!  There is no better between them.

I won’t vote for Hillary or Trump – I just can’t!  This entire election was a fraud perpetrated on the American people.  Both Hillary and Trump are corrupt to the core.  Their foundations are cesspools of public corruption.  These two are sociopaths to the nth degree, so assuredly this debate will be interesting to see how they try to destroy each other.  Let’s see if the crazy eye fells Hillary or if she gets Trump to go full “loose cannon”, which isn’t that far-fetched, considering her screeching tirades can make just about anyone go berserk…

Here we are, days away from the first presidential debate and the FBI dumps 189 pages of heavily redacted interview notes, at the end of the day, on a Friday.   Comey was part of the cover-up in Hillary’s email scandal.  He caved to the Obama/Clinton pressure.  Cheryl Mills was granted immunity as a witness and then allowed to be present for Hillary’s FBI interview, as one of Hillary’s lawyers???  What the hell kind of corrupt bullshit is that?

Monday, June 27, 2016:  Bill Clinton met with Loretta Lynch on the tarmac in Phoenix.

Saturday, July 2, 2016:  There’s this shifty FBI interview set-up, with Hillary on  a Saturday morning on a HOLIDAY WEEKEND, at the FBI Headquarters in Washington – when LOTS of FBI employees were off (fewer witnesses).  The entire interview was jut a charade and Comey is a LIAR – he covered this up.  Who was actually present is an interesting question – out of Hillary’s team of lawyers, the FBI  redacted ONE name from the notes.  It listed David E. Kendall, Cheryl D. Mills, Heather Samuelson, Katherine Turner.  The NY Times, back in July, reported that other lawyer as Amy Saharia, but I doubt that is the truth.  It makes NO sense to redact her name.  The FBI redacted the names of THREE DOJ officials present.  Who the heck was present on a Saturday morning, on a long holiday weekend???  It’s a cover-up.

Tuesday , July 5, 2016: In the morning, after this long holiday weekend,  FBI Director Comey makes his bizarre announcement that there would be no criminal charges.

So, when we get to the FBI releasing the notes from Hillary’s interview, in the first paragraph, the FBI redacted one of her lawyer’s names and three DOJ officials’ names.

There are several redactions on who was present from the DOJ.  The FBI Notes list two people from the DOJ/FBI side and have three names redacted, which comes to 5 names, although the NY Times story says there were 8 DOJ/FBI people present, so who are 3 redacted names + 3 others mentioned in the NY Times story???  Something is very wrong when you compare the NY Times report to the FBI Notes.

It’s suspicious and my bullshit detector says, Comey/Lynch/Obama/Bill Clinton scammed us.  Back in the beginning of September, I wrote “Who was there?“:

“On July 2, 2016, the New York Times reported:

Accompanying Mrs. Clinton into the meeting were her lawyer David E. Kendall; Cheryl D. Mills and Heather Samuelson, longtime aides who are also lawyers; and two lawyers from Mr. Kendall’s firm, Williams & Connolly, Katherine Turner and Amy Saharia.

Eight officials from the F.B.I. and the Department of Justice conducted the interview, according to a person who was familiar with the substance of the session but declined to be named because the meeting was private. This person characterized the meeting as “civil” and “businesslike.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/03/us/politics/hillary-clinton-fbi-emails.html?_r=1

When we get the answer to who was there, we will know fully the extent of the Obama administration corruption, to help bury the Clinton email server scandal for Hillary.  James Comey , Mr. Integrity, allowed the FBI to become a part of the cover-up, I believe.    The “extremely careless” was in leaving clues, like this redacted name of a Clinton lawyer that makes no sense.  Who is left to investigate corruption, when the FBI is corrupted too??

So, Ted Cruz’s perfidy today didn’t even phase me really, because all along I kept mentioning, that while he spouted the conservative message, every move he made was calculated for personal political advantage.  His integrity was suspect all along.

I doubt very many people in positions of power in America still possess even an iota of integrity.

Trump or Hillary…. it won’t matter, both are a further descent into lawlessness and wholesale public corruption.

A Hillary Clinton email/FBI timeline

wp-1473886655053.jpg

Sharyl Attkisson published a timeline about Hillary Clinton’s  email mess and the FBI report:

The Clearest (No Spin) Summary of FBI Report on Hillary Clinton Email

I’m not sure I agree with  her first takeaway on the two Clinton servers.  Attkisson states:

  • “The Clintons’ Apple personal server used for Hillary Clinton work email could not be located for the FBI to examine.:

“In furtherance of its investigation, the FBI acquired computer equipment and mobile devices, to include equipment associated with two separate email server systems used by the Clinton, and forensically reviewed the items to recover relevant evidence.”

https://vault.fbi.gov/hillary-r.-clinton/hillary-r.-clinton-part-01-of-02/view

There’s so much information floating about, much of it contradictory , in addition to a long and complicated  timeline, that it’s difficult to keep facts straight.  I do recall reading in the FBI Notes that they did not recover all of the equipment associated with the servers, in addition to Hillary’s 13 missing mobile devices, 2 of her 5 ipads were not recovered and then there was a laptop, that Platte River Network mailed to someone, which got lost in the mail.

Yes, this woman is supposedly competent to handle our nation’s most sensitive information and she will take these aides, who moved highly classified information from a secure system to her home-brew server, with her to the White House

And just a reminder: Trump set up a fancy communication system in his company and then in court could not produce several years worth of  any email records… That was in one his many lawsuits and the judge found it unbelievable that he could not produce any  business records. This USA Today report states:

“In 2006, when a judge ordered Donald Trump’s casino operation to hand over several years’ worth of emails, the answer surprised him: The Trump Organization routinely erased emails and had no records from 1996 to 2001. The defendants in a case that Trump brought said this amounted to destruction of evidence, a charge never resolved.

At that time, a Trump IT director testified that until 2001, executives in Trump Tower relied on personal email accounts using dial-up Internet services, despite the fact that Trump had launched a high-speed Internet provider in 1998 and announced he would wire his whole building with it. Another said Trump had no routine process for preserving emails before 2005.

Judge Jeffrey Streitfeld was stunned. “He has a house up in Palm Beach County listed for $125 million, but he doesn’t keep emails. That’s a tough one,” he said, according to transcripts obtained by USA TODAY. “If somebody starts to put forth as a fact something that doesn’t make any sense to me and causes me to have a concern about their credibility in the discovery process, that’s not a good direction to go, and I am really having a hard time with this.””

The real “Deplorables” in this election are Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump….

March Under One Flag (blog repost from 2013)

vintage-patriotic-american-flag-god-bless-america

The following is a blog post, I originally posted October 16, 2013.  I’ve done some slight editing to break up my mile long paragraphs (a bad habit of mine).  Considering the worsening state of America’s partisan divides, we definitely need to learn how to “march under one flag” again, in fact, the divides have deepened and the wounds to our national soul fester, to the point our national character is on life support.  The remedy isn’t a more liberal America or a more conservative America, it’s building a belief in one AMERICA, where every American citizen believes in The Constiution and that we are all equal under the law.


March Under One Flag

Legends on the rise and fall of great societies permeate history with certain threads, like the demise of the common culture leading the list as one of the prime harbingers of “doom”.  Yes, that word “doom” comes to mind quite frequently,  presaging our presumed ineluctable fated demise.  Warning signs, both large and small, abound, blaring out endless streams of our culture and Judeo-Christian value system in full retreat to the relentless moral relativist message.

Some retreat for public relations reasons, like Wal-mart this past weekend (story here).  The EBT system  failed last Saturday in 17 states, leading to EBT recipients debit cards showing no limits.  News reports indicate that in several states Wal-mart stores were crammed with customers filling slews of shopping carts with groceries and “checking out”, swiping their EBT card, which they knew did not have the funds to cover the amount of groceries “purchased” (stolen).  The corollary would be long ago when people used personal checks more often and supposing you wrote a check for your purchases knowing you did not have money to cover the purchase.

There’s no difference besides the fact that media handlers will guide Wal-mart and the image of Wal-mart tracking down “poor people” for criminal prosecution over this blatant thievery might look like the giant retailer is picking on the little people.  Wal-mart will likely end up eating this loss and due to American social conditioning, way too many people will use moral relativism to guide their moral reasoning in the matter – saying things like “Wal-mart can afford it” or “Wal-mart screws over the little guy all the time so turn around is fair play”.  Sure, in this case some Wal-mart management in the affected states made the call to let the sales go through rather than stop the theft and they failed to follow the proper procedure in place to call Xerox when EBT cards aren’t working properly.

In this same above-mentioned scenario the more disturbing behavior is that of the crowds of people who flooded Wal-mart stores to steal food in broad daylight, with no moral hesitation.  The problem with government hand-outs is the people start beginning to believe these programs really are “entitlements” and thus they never spend a moment’s notice wondering about taking other people’s money as their own, nor do they worry about stealing food from Wal-mart.

Taking stuff that is not yours is stealing, no matter the twisted semantics used to rationalize it.  To delve further into this moral relativist hellish enslavement of the mind I urge you to read the article Justin linked in a comment here yesterday, “Contemporary Liberal Doublethink: Welfare = Self-Reliance”.  The thieves in this scenario won’t bother to “think or reason” about their thievery, no, these are pack animals – used to being led, with no will to think for themselves nor will they ponder things like civic duty, aspiring to become better human beings or much beyond their instant gratification.

PJ Media offered this truly excellent piece written by a writer who pens under the pseudonym, Bookworm, titled “The Surprising Reason Americans Are Vulnerable to Moral Relativism”, which although lengthy, definitely rates the time.  This writer posits that our American embrace of Anne Frank’s idealistic belief: “I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.”, creates a syllogism as described in this passage:

“Thanks to those words, Americans accept that “people are truly good at heart.” This belief creates a syllogism, one that sees Americans claiming that it must be a lie when someone dares to claim that another group doesn’t meet certain moral absolutes. How can there be moral absolutes when all “people are truly good at heart”?”

The author goes on to explain why Anne Frank’s simple idealistic belief was not only wrong in her own personal life, where she perished in the Holocaust, but it is simply wrong for mankind, in general.   People aren’t truly good at heart – that part takes a great deal of civilizing effort, both in the home and in society in general, hence we used to call it “civil society”.

Aristotle offered his definition, “a shared set of norms and ethos, in which free citizens on an equal footing lived under the rule of law”, which puts us on firmer footing than most of the opining from American academics in recent decades.  We need that shared set of norms and ethos as the glue to hold our splintering, divided country together.  Cutting through the leftist doublethink presents a daunting challenge, but unless we commit to “winning the hearts and minds” of Americans on the importance of being “good citizens”, where “rights” rest right next to “civic duty”, we’ll continue to drift, creating an ever-widening no man’s land, rather than to use a military metaphor and which I use as my gravatar, “march under one flag”.

We must become a country under one flag again – we must become American citizens first, political partisans second.

Did I miss the thumb drives in the FBI report?

Trying to sort through so many lies from the Clintons, from their lying lawyers and from their sycophantic spinners can make your head spin.  The facts get buried in the avalanche of lies. That is the point of their mass media saturation strategy – to inundate the public with so much loud noise and so many obfuscations that you can’t keep track of the facts.

I’ve noted facts from the FBI notes in previous posts, but there’s one thing about evidence they received from the Clinton lawyers or from other sources, I did not notice in the FBI notes.  What is the disposition of the thumb drives of the server information, which none other than David E. Kendall, the infamous Clinton cover-up expert, was reported to have in his possession?

July , 30, 2015 – Politico reported:

Hillary Clinton’s private lawyer has a thumb drive containing classified information from as many as five U.S. intelligence agencies — but the State Department told POLITICO the law firm is taking “appropriate measures” to secure the files.

The agency declined to detail steps made to protect the sensitive information in attorney David Kendall’s possession, but the issue is raising concern among Republicans on Capitol Hill who’ve criticized Clinton’s handling of the email controversy. The thumb drive has copies of emails Clinton kept on a private server while she served as secretary of state, a trove now known to contain classified documents.

Story Continued Below

The agency told POLITICO that Clinton “does have counsel with clearance.” Kendall, a prominent Williams & Connolly attorney who defended former CIA director David Petraeus against charges of mishandling classified information, declined to comment.
Clinton’s campaign echoed the State Department.”

August 5, 2015 – The Blaze reported:

“WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI has taken possession of thumb drives containing Hillary Clinton’s emails, some of which have been deemed to contain highly sensitive classified information, according to a U.S. official briefed on the matter.

The official was not authorized to be quoted publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.”

Further in this story:

“The U.S. official said the FBI recovered at least two thumb drives containing the emails from Kendall. The drives contain around 30,000 emails that Clinton deemed work-related and turned over to the State Department. She destroyed thousands of others that she said were not work-related.”

Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, turned over the emails after the FBI determined that he could not remain in possession of the classified information, the official said. The State Department previously had said it was comfortable with Kendall keeping the emails at his Washington law office.”

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/08/11/fbi-has-taken-possession-of-hillarys-emails-from-home-server-u-s-official-says/

August 12, 2015 – the Washington Post reported:

“The e-mail server used by Hillary Rodham Clinton when she served as secretary of state was turned over to the FBI late Wednesday afternoon from a private data center in New Jersey, according to an attorney familiar with the transfer.

“It was picked up about 4 p.m.,” said Barbara J. Wells, a Denver lawyer who represents Platte River Networks Inc., a small computer services firm that has managed the Clintons’ private e-mail system since mid-2013.

Wells said her client was contacted by the FBI, which expressed interest in obtaining the old server. The FBI did not have a search warrant or subpoena and did not interview her clients, she said.”

Further in this story:

In addition to obtaining the old server, the FBI recently obtained a thumb drive in the possession of Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall, that contained copies of work e-mails kept on the server.

Before it was taken to the data center in New Jersey, the server had been in the basement of the Clintons’ private home in Chappaqua, N.Y., during the time she was secretary of state, according to people familiar with the Clintons’ e-mail network.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/clintons-e-mail-server-turned-over-to-fbi/2015/08/12/aba5feea-4160-11e5-8ab4-c73967a143d3_story.html

August 25, 2015 – In a CBS News article, Kendall claimed to have a top secret clearance, but claimed it wasn’t for Hillary’s emails:

“Obtaining top secret clearance “was unrelated to the 30,490 e-mails provided to the State Department on December 5, 2014; none of those e-mails was classified,” Kendall wrote to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. “As I am sure you are aware, it was not until nearly six months later that the first email in this group was retroactively classified as ‘Secret.'”

Kendall wrote that he received top secret clearance in November 2014; additionally, his law partner Katherine Turner obtained top secret clearance from the State Department in December 2014.

Kendall was in possession of a thumb drive that held copies of Clinton’s emails, but the attorney said the State Department gave him guidance for keeping the information secure, and “even provided physical equipment necessary to safeguard the thumb drive at issue.”

Grassley responded that even with his top secret clearance, Kendall did not have the level of authority necessary to possess the sensitive information in the emails in question.”

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hillary-clintons-lawyer-explains-his-top-secret-clearance/

September 9, 2016  – I missed some of the House Oversight Committee hearing yesterday, so I was just listening to the beginning part.  At minute 35:52, Committee Chairman, Jason Chaffetz asks Patrick Kennedy, the Undersecretary for Management at the State Department, states that to the best of his knowledge, the FBI took possession of all the electronic information Mr. Kendall had.

https://www.c-span.org/video/?414934-1/state-department-officials-testify-foia-requests

I don’t recall reading about the thumb drive(s)  the FBI received in these FBI notes.  Did I miss the part about a thumb drive(s) David  Kendall turned over to the FBI?  And was it one thumb drive or “at least two thumb drives”, as reported by unnamed sources?

The Clintons and their lawyers are playing us again.

They are banking on the liberal media burying this story and prodding us that  “it’s time to move on”, while claiming Hillary is the poor victim of another “vast, right-wing witch hunt”.

“Time to move on”…. again

FBI Director, James Comey, caved to Clinton/Obama pressure to bury Hillary’s email server scandal and now he’s stuck trying to salvage his reputation and at the same time trying to avoid questions about his decision.  He is now part of the Clinton, “Time to move on” choir and will do whatever it takes to bury this email server scandal.  The Hill reports:

“Republicans on the House Oversight Committee asked officials from the FBI and three other agencies for a classified briefing on Wednesday regarding redactions in the report on Hillary Clinton’s email server — but were denied.

In response to the refusal, the committee has now scheduled a hearing for Monday morning at which the same four agencies — the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Justice and State departments — will be asked to testify.”

The Clinton WALL of obstruction is stronger and higher than any wall Donald Trump could ever dream of building.

Back to the Powell excuse again

The Clinton spin continues apace – blaming Colin Powell again.  Rep Elijah Cummings released a Powell email acquired from the State Department, according to a Politico report.  So, once again Cummings is going to carry more water for the Clintons and try to use Powell as the scapegoat, to deflect blame from Hillary Clinton.  Politico reports:

“This email exchange shows that Secretary Powell advised Secretary Clinton with a detailed blueprint on how to skirt security rules and bypass requirements to preserve federal records, although Secretary Clinton has made clear that she did not rely on this advice,” Cummings said in a statement. “This email exchange also illustrates the longstanding problem that no Secretary of State ever used an official unclassified email account until the current Secretary of State. The Republican obsession with Secretary Clinton has reached a fever pitch, and they have been using taxpayer resources to single her out in a desperate and abusive attempt to hurt her presidential campaign.”

Follow us: @politico on Twitter | Politico on Facebook

The Clintons will stop at nothing to strong-arm their way back into the White House.  The problem for Cummings is Hillary had THOUSANDS of classified documents on, not only a private email account, she had them on her unsecured home-brew server and her aides, the recipients or senders of these classified emails, also have these classified emails on whatever email system they were using.  She had them on 13 mobile devices, which she never turned over to the FBI and she had them on 5 ipads, which only 3 were turned over to the FBI.

And the entire time she was using all these devices, heck in the FBI notes one aide to Bill Clinton mentioned that he often say Hillary using a flip phone to talk on and using a blackberry in her hands – so much for the only wanted to use one device for convenience LIE….

Clinton had over 904 emails recovered by the FBI from her gmail account according to these FBI Notes. 56 of those were classified .  Those emails were NOT included in the emails her attorneys returned to the State Department AND not on her home-brew server.  The FBI uncovered those emails in their investigations.

Cummings is once again trying to deflect and deceive, in his usual rabid partisan fashion.

I am sure he and his fellow Democrats already have their brain-dead talking points prepared and distributed, ready for tomorrow’s congressional hearing.

They will relentlessly repeat these talking points and refuse to even listen to, or consider, any evidence or testimony that reflects negatively on Hillary.   The goal is repeat these talking points continuously , so that these talking points are what is remembered and also repeated by the liberal media.  It’s the same old vile mass media saturation brainwashing technique they rely on.

Their friends in the liberal media will aid and abet them in every way they can – repeating their talking points and repeating the claim that it’s another “vast, right-wing witch hunt” to hurt Hillary.

SHE is the one who decided to use this UNSECURED  server and she is the one who allowed classified information to be relayed on her email system.  No Republicans made her do this.

She is UNFIT to ever be trusted with sensitive information.

Retired general Michael Hayden, in the Washington Times, writes:

Mrs. Clinton’s defense — that many of the discussed strikes never occurred — is also stunning. It’s not quite as bad as saying that it would have been OK for Marshall and Eisenhower in early 1944 to debate over an open line whether to land in Europe at Normandy or Pas de Calais because, after all, we ultimately didn’t land at Pas de Calais. Not quite as bad, but still hard to fathom. Uncertain and unclassified are two different things.

I signed a letter last month with 49 other officials who have served in Republican administrations. We all said Donald Trump was unfit for the presidency. He still is. But many of us also insisted in the letter that this not be read as an endorsement of Mrs. Clinton.

Recently in this space I said that even though I could not vote for him, I would not vote for her. That still holds. In fact, the revelations of the past week make that latter position even more certain.”

I agree with him completely.


Update: 9/8/16, The House Oversight Committee is meeting, as I type.  I’ve learned that the Democrats on this committee requested this Powell email FIVE days ago and the State Department could cough it up.  Numerous email requests, from Republicans on more than one House committee, have NOT been responded to in YEARS.  The State Department officials, especially Undersecretary for Management, Patrick Kennedy’s answers,  rank as nothing short of parsing bullshit and massive obfuscations.
