-Lurid Crime Tales-
Update to previous posting - FBI Director's Brother's Law Firm Does HRC's Taxes
[TruthUnsensored] It appears that James Comey did not recommend federal charges against Hillary Clinton, in part because he is connected to the Clinton Foundation through the Swiss bank HSBC.

More than 200 republicans sent a letter demanding to know why he didn't recommend federal charges against Hillary Clinton over her use of private email servers. Clinton "clearly placed our nation's secrets in peril," the letter states. "No one is above the law, and the American people deserve a more robust explanation for your decision to not recommend criminal charges."

According to Mini Planet, a review of FBI Director James Comey's professional history and relationships shows that the Obama cabinet leader -- now under fire for his handling of the investigation of Hillary Clinton -- is deeply entrenched in the big-money cronyism culture of Washington, D.C. His personal and professional relationships -- all undisclosed as he announced the Bureau would not prosecute Clinton -- reinforce bipartisan concerns that he may have politicized the criminal probe.

These concerns focus on millions of dollars that Comey accepted from a Clinton Foundation defense contractor, Comey's former membership on a Clinton Foundation corporate partner's board, and his surprising financial relationship with his brother Peter Comey, who works at the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation's taxes.

Lockheed Martin

When President Obama nominated Comey to become FBI director in 2013, Comey promised the United States Senate that he would recuse himself on all cases involving former employers.

But Comey earned $6 million in one year alone from Lockheed Martin. Lockheed Martin became a Clinton Foundation donor that very year.

#1  Of course, none of this was mentioned in yesterday's hearings where Comey testified before congress about the HRC emails.

#2  Many of the right questions were asked in the hearing; however, the answers were disturbing. The FBI investigation was not an investigation but part of the cover up. At this point, about the only recourse is to let the perjury charge play out. It seems like this would play out after the election. Unfortunately, if Hillary gets elected her perjury charge will just get buried and go away. It's up to the voters to get rid of this dying, stinking fish and take out the garbage in the election.

#3  ...who works at the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation's taxes.

I'm not entirely cool with a law firm preparing tax returns. In this case, I am!

If Trump wins, I'm writing him a letter asking to be the next IRS commissioner.

#4  I think the only way you fix this is as soon as a person is employed in government at any level, all their family members must go into the dry cleaning business in the Bronx with Tony until you leave gummint employ. If Your family does not want to agree to this, they can vote to have you euthanized. Problem solved.

Complaints that Hillary Clinton Lied Under Oath Are ‘Pending' at the FBI
[Breitbart] FBI director James Comey confirmed Wednesday that the FBI has received referrals to investigate Hillary Clinton for allegedly lying under oath to Trey Gowdy’s Select Committee on Benghazi.

Comey made the admission at a U.S. House hearing, where he was grilled over his decision to not recommend indictment for Clinton in the private email server case. Breitbart News has reported on Comey’s financial links to the Clinton Foundation.

Comey said that complaints are "pending" but would not confirm the existence of an investigation.

#2  Imho, all who were granted immunity were told just to sit tight and all would be well. If DJT wins the election, Zero will pardon the lot of them. If HRC wins, the cases will be dropped.

The perps will sail off into the sunset (no doubt with Clinton Foundation footings) never again having to work in a non-Progressive organization. They shall escape the scrutiny proles are required to put themselves through.

Maybe a posthumous (coloring?) book or two explaining how the American people got the shaft.

James Comey: DOJ Gave Mills Immunity, Not the FBI
FBI Director James Comey has continued to face criticism over his bureau's investigation into Hillary Clinton's email, including the numerous immunity deals given to her aides. Well, it turns out, the FBI didn't give immunity to Cheryl Mills, a longtime aide:

"Who authorized granting Cheryl Mills immunity?" Rep. John Sensenbrenner asked.

"It's a decision made by the Department of Justice, I don't know at what level inside," Comey responded. "In our investigations, any kind of immunity comes from the prosecutors, not the investigators."

The FBI doesn't hand out immunity deals:

Comey added he understood Mills' immunity as a request pertaining to the production of her laptop during the investigation.

"The FBI doesn't grant immunity to anybody, the Department of Justice is able to grant very different kinds of immunity," Comey said. "If new and substantial evidence develops a witness lied [under immunity], of course the Department of Justice can pursue it. Nobody gets lifetime immunity."

Last Friday, House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) lashed out at the FBI over the immunity deals:

"No wonder they couldn't prosecute a case," Chaffetz said. "They were handing out immunity deals like candy."

#2  I watched this entire hearing. O.K., O.K., I'll admit I was wrong. Commie is a disgrace. He is so in-the-tank for Hillary and dedicated to preventing justice from happening--this investigation of Hillary's server was the biggest farce I've ever seen. The only thing missing is when does the fat lady sing in this comedic opera/farce? It looks like never. It was tortuous to watch this hearing. One can only conclude the rule of law has been suspended-whatever it takes. There is a rot in the land that will take some time to correct.

Judge Nap: List of HRC's Potential Crimes Is So Long 'It's Almost Laughable'
[FOX] FBI Director James Comey testified on Capitol Hill today about his agency's investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server.

House Judiciary Committee members, including Louie Gohmert, Darrell Issa and Bob Goodlatte, grilled Comey for not recommending any charges and for giving immunity to at least five Clinton aides.

On "Fox & Friends," Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that Clinton failed to secure state secrets and the evidence of wrongdoing was "overwhelming."

He told Brian Kilmeade that he would have had some very pointed questions for Comey if he were addressing the FBI director at today's hearing.

"The evidence of guilt was overwhelming. Why didn’t you present any of it to a grand jury? Why did you just request information from her and from her underlings, rather than use the power of the government to demand it? Why did you overlook obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, providing material assistance to terrorist organizations, lying to Congress, misleading Congress, theft of government property?" Napolitano said.

"The litany of her potential crimes is so long it’s almost laughable. They overlooked it."

Dem Lawmaker Accuses GOP Colleagues Of Shilling For Trump ‐ While Wearing A HRC Campaign Pin!
[Daily Caller] Texas Democratic Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson recently accused her Republican colleagues of "acting as an opposition research arm" for Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign.

Johnson, ironically, made her remarks while wearing a campaign pin for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, which likely violates House rules against electioneering.

FBI Bombshell: No Followup After Huma Abedin Caught in Falsehood
The release of FBI documents relating to the Clinton email investigation reveal that top Clinton aide Huma Abedin picked one username that Clinton would use on the server, despite claiming she had no knowledge of the server.

In recent heavily redacted FBI documents relating to the email hacks and the role that one Clinton "confidential assistant" played in the management of Clinton's mobile devices and email security, certain documents outline a conversation between Clinton aides Huma Abedin and Monica Handley, Clinton Foundation official Justin Cooper.

Hanley revealed in her second interview with the FBI on June 23rd the full details of a conference call between her, Huma Abedin, Justin Cooper, and a fourth party whose name has been redacted by the FBI. The call was apparently "over concerns related to a reported hack by Sidney Blumenthal's email account."
We've had a good run.

The Obamas level with voters who aren't wild about Clinton
[POLITICO] The Obamas and Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
are warning voters that they must turn out on Election Day to stop Donald Trump ‐ even if they don’t like Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as The Heroine of Tuzla and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Hamilton Fish ...
all that much.

While the three top surrogates are heaping praise on Clinton, they are also leveling with voters -- especially young and minority voters -- who are not as fired up about the former secretary of state as they were about the Obamas in 2008, or Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
earlier this year.

"The notion somehow that, ’Well, you know, I’m not as inspired because Barack and Michelle, they’re not on the ballot this time, and, you know, maybe we kinda take it easy’ -- my legacy’s on the ballot," Obama said on Wednesday morning on the "Steve Harvey Morning Show." "You know, all the work we’ve done over the last eight years is on the ballot."

Michelle Obama, speaking at a rally in Philadelphia, also swiped at the idea that Clinton is viewed by many as a less-than-inspiring candidate, despite her hefty foreign and domestic policy credentials.

"Remember it’s not about voting for the perfect candidate. There is no such person," the hugely popular first lady said. "In this election it is about making a choice between two very different candidates with very different visions for our nation. So the question is do you want Hillary Clinton to be your president, or do you want her opponent to be your president?"

Celebrity Nutcase Madonna Joins Katy Perry In Voting Naked…
Watch this catch on. Got a call asking me to be an Elections Judge this year. The visual evoked by this article makes me think I'll pass.
I guess I'll have to get nekkid to support Trump, then, though I've yet to quite comprehend why Madonna's and Katy Perry's boobsery and pubesery has a significant relationship to voting patterns. But I'm willing to do my part if necessary.
Don't bother hitting the link, the tweet in question no longer exists. You may save the brain bleach for the next Madonna image you see...

Home Front: WoT
Congress overrides Obama’s veto of 9/11 bill
[WASHINGTONPOST] Congress on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly to override President B.O.’s veto of legislation that would allow 9/11 victims’ families to sue the Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
n government over its alleged support for the Death Eaters who carried out the attacks.

It is the first override of Obama’s presidency.

The votes in the House and Senate amounted to a sweeping, bipartisan rejection of pleas from the White House to back the president, with administration officials arguing the legislation poses a national security threat by exposing U.S. officials to similar lawsuits abroad.

#3  This is a huge win...and a sad day.

It is sad that the American people have to resort to the frickin civil courts to get Justice from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Our Presidents (Bush and Obama) sucked up to the Saudis who had handlers supporting a couple of the 9/11 pilots with Prince Bandar's money. The KSA's role in 9/11 and continuation of funding the aftermath has never been addressed.

The KSA used their most powerful weapon against us - money...and drew American blood...costing us huge treasure as well.

The 9/11 trial of KSM and his henchmen has been delayed for 8 years by Obama. Why? What "evidence" is going to come out during that trial? Is that why is it delayed? When are we going to get Justice?

And Hillary's closet confidant is Huma Abedin, a nice young girl from Jeddah, KSA...with a friendly radical ahl asSunnah family.

Refugees admitted without papers despite ‘significant' number tied to terror
[Wash Times] Refugees can be admitted to the U.S. without any corroborating documents or physical evidence, the chief of the immigration service told Congress on Wednesday -- though he insisted that's not the typical situation.

Leon Rodriguez, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said a "significant" number of refugees have been implicated in terrorist plots over the past eight years but that the rejection of some 7 percent of Syrian applications proves his officers can spot danger signs.

"We've turned a lot of people down," he said.

Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, countered that it was striking that the department knew how many people it denied but couldn't determine how many refugees have been connected to terrorism. He read off the details of several cases, including a refugee from Iraq, living in Texas, arrested this year for plotting against the U.S.

"We keep seeing instances over and over again of refugees coming to America with an intention to engage in terrorism," Mr. Cruz said.

Yes, it is typical. The first 25,000 plus Iraqi refugees were drug into this country by the State Department without any vetting whatsoever. And now you tell us an average of 7% of your applicants have terror ties/intent.

Logic then dictates that 7% of that 25,000 had terror ties...1,750 of them. WTF? Did you go back and vet them and remove the trouble? Of course not...
