Suit against Hillary Clinton over Benghazi deaths and emails is dismissed
[Yahoo] Jackson dismissed the wrongful death portion of the suit on technical grounds after granting the State Department's motion to step in as the defendant on those claims. The Obama-appointed judge concluded Clinton used her email in the course of her official duties.

"The Court finds that Secretary Clinton was acting in the scope of her employment when she transmitted the emails that are alleged to give rise to her liability," Jackson wrote in her 29-page opinion. "The untimely death of plaintiffs’ sons is tragic, and the Court does not mean to minimize the unspeakable loss that plaintiffs have suffered in any way. But when one applies the appropriate legal standards, it is clear that plaintiffs have not alleged sufficient facts to rebut the presumption that Secretary Clinton was acting in her official capacity when she used her private email server."

Jackson cautioned that she was not opining on the appropriateness of Clinton's use of the private server or on whether what she said publicly about the Benghazi episode in its immediate aftermath.

"Nothing about this decision should be construed as making any determination or expressing any opinion about the propriety of the use of the private email server or the content or accuracy of the statements made by the Secretary to the family members or to anyone else in the days following the Benghazi attack," the judge wrote.

Jackson added that she was also not making a determination about whether Clinton's use of the private server was legal or not.

#1  The judge who dismissed the case was an Obama appointment.

#2  I hate Hillary. That said - the case was lame, other than Discovery Fun.

Jesse Jackson back at Amazon stockholders’ meeting, crusading for workforce diversity
[SEATTLETIMES] It’s 2017, and much has changed since Jackson marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1960s. But some old problems remain unresolved — like access to good jobs.
...and Jesseh's hunger for cash he didn't earn. Give him a beer distributorship and he'll go away...

Yep. Dr King was pushing for integration not tribal segregation. The Asians followed that course. You did not.

#6  integration not tribal segregation

Where's the graft in that?

#7  Can things be fixed without an armed revolution?

No.

The cancer is too deep and too widespread.

#8  OK, Mr. Jackson. We'll diversify into C3POs, Benders and Robbys.

#9  For how much is Jackson shaking down Amazon? He's a shakedown artist. I don't really give a flip. Bezos has a large holding in WAPO which is a rag.
