White House: OK, fine, Obama had Hillary's e-mail address
[Kanuk Free Press] Just wondering here: If it's "treason" to inform a terrorist regime that they can't make a treaty with a U.S. president who ignores his obligation to submit the treaty for ratification, what is it when the Secretary of State and the president exchange e-mails on a non-secure, private e-mail server that thus exposes the president's e-mail address (and whatever the two of them discussed) to hacker?

And what is it when the president lies and said it never happened, and that he knew nothing about it? Because that's what he did, as the White House now admits.
Nice venue for leaking classified documents to foreign source hackers I'd say. Of course the Beest never actually 'sent' any classified documents.

Well, she said 'what difference does it make'. He said he didn't have the address. So, we know who's the liar. Why would he lie? Because this is just one 'off line account' for the conduct of official government operations and most likely not the only one. Rules and laws are for the proles. In other words, concrete evidence of the Vast Left Wing conspiracy to operate without the 'consent of the governed'. Just another example of Freudian Projection by the Left, from their Vast Right Wing conspiracy meme a couple decades ago. The Right must be doing what those in the Left were doing in their conspiratorial minds.

article dated 10/7/2009
Honduras

Lobbyists hire a law firm associated with the Clintons to support Mecheletti. Obama sides with Zelaya. Trade sanctions involved. State appointees held up in the Senate. OAS involved. UN involved. Obama bragging about his blackberry and how tech savvy he is.

And he doesn't have the email address of his Secretary of State? Especially if her association was accepting money to go counter to his machinations?

Come now, why so coy? Everyone knows that was a Godfather appointment, and you have a platoon of lawyers...was your team hacking her?

*btw, it is fn incredible how many pro-Zelaya stories there are out there. I came across one which rips Clinton for stating in her book Hard Drive Choices she was always pro-elections thus anti-Zelaya as proof of the vast right wing conspiracy.

#21  Now public knowledge, screen shot of Hillary's email user interface. A lot of email about Benghazi, Egypt, etc..

This is an image provided by a Romanian hacker "Guccifer" who is now doing time for hacking into a Clinton assistant's email.

She was clearly doing US Government correspondence on a private account that was easily breached by hackers around the world.

#22  Hackers were able to access emails that had the names of top secret intelligence sources which is now not public domain thanks to people dealing with leaked information.

But other emails are public domain are ones such as this that clearly tell Hillary that Al Qaeda attacked her ambassadors at Benghazi on 9/11/2012, something that Hillary continued to deny for a long time after this email.

Holder Used Secret Email Addresses as well.
Absolutely shocking. Please be seated before reading further.
[Breitbart] Attorney General Eric Holder used secretive email accounts under aliases during his tenure at the Justice Department, raising fresh questions about the Champ administration's compliance with federal records laws as former Secretary of State Hilldebeest reels from her own email.
That would be 'former federal records laws' if you will.
Holder has emailed under the nom de plume "Henry Yearwood" in the past, former Justice Department officials say. The Huffington Post reported Tuesday that Holder had used three aliases. The current is unknown.
Huffpoo breaks story.....hmmmm, wonner where they came by that info ?
Republicans familiar with the issue said that even when congressional officials traveled to the Justice Department for so-called "in camera" review of documents, Holder's email address had been redacted, despite the fact that the documents were not being released.

Unlike the Hildebeest, who used a personal email account and her own private email server, preventing government officials from possessing the emails for record-keeping purposes while she was in office, Holder's email address is a government, usdoj.gov email address.
That's the info we have for now anyway.
A spokesman for Holder claimed to the Huffington Post that the secretive email accounts did not interfere with the production of Holder emails to congressional oversight officials or FOIA requests.
"Raising fresh questions?"..... You had to know they were/are all doing the rumba.

Rep. Justin Moed accused of sexting
[WISHTV] State Rep. Justin Moed, D-Indianapolis, is identified on a website called TheDirty.com as a sexting partner with Sydney Leathers, the woman from southern Indiana who was tied to a sexting scandal involving New York politician Anthony Carlos Danger Weiner
...aka Hot Dog Tony, the remarkably offensive sex maniac six-term New York congressman who resigned in 2011, then decided everybody had forgotten by 2013, when he decided to run for mayor of New York City...
in 2013.

The New York Post reported last week that Leathers was sexting with "a Democratic state politician from the Midwest." The Post quotes Leathers as saying that the politician responded to an ad seeking a "submissive." He used an alias but sent a payment through a Paypal account, according to the Post.

In the time since, TheDirty.com, the same website that broke the Weiner story, has published naked pictures of a man it identifies as Moed as well as photos of gifts that were sent to Leathers with messages from Amazon that say, "A gift from Justin Moed." One of those gifts is a collar with a leash.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
Enviros Use High Schoolers To Shame Republicans On Global Warming
[DAILYCALLER] Environmentalists are now using kids to "school" politicians on the science behind man-made global warming.
Ohfergawdssakes.
On Tuesday, six high schoolers from states "hard hit" by global warming will go to Capitol Hill to try and convince politicians skeptical of man-made global warming that it's real and it's impacting peoples' lives today.
I'm sure Nebaska is "hard hit" by Global Warming™. Remember last July when Omaha was scorched off the face of the earth?
"What I know about climate change is that it's real, it's man-made and there's scientific evidence to back it up," Helen Winston, a high schooler from Nebraska, said in a video produced by the liberal campaign group Avaaz.
What I knew about real, scientific stuff when I was in high school was chemistry class. I had a lot of misplaced arrogance, like most teenagers, but I don't think I'd have presumed to lecture my senator or representative on what somebody told me.
"Climate change impacts my life most directly through sea level rise," echoed Jack Levy from Florida. He was joined by Georgia teen Jeremiah Thompson who said that "human beings are a major cause in climate change."
Ah, yes. I remember when Florida sank into the ocean, followed by South Carolina and large parts of Georgia, though actually I think they're better off without the Atlanta traffic. It's because we heat everything with coal or wood or lignite, y'know. I power my car on coal, too. It needs the high-sulphur stuff, otherwise I get a lot of engine knock.
"I think the dumbest thing I've heard is Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe saying that man cannot change climate," Levy added, as the video cut to recent footage of Inhofe throwing a snowball on the Senate floor.
Hey, Levy! How many feet in a mile? How many miles across is the U.S.A. at its narrowest point? What's that in feet? What's the population of the U.S.? How many feet of breathable air above the continental U.S.? Up to what altitude? What's above the stratosphere and how did it get there? What happens if it falls? How many of those cubic feet can you, personally, damage with your barbecue grill?
"If you have any sort of education, you have to be willing to look at the world and think about it objectively and see that there is indeed climate change going," Winston said. "Denying it is, I think, detrimental and possibly dangerous."
I have something of an education and I think Winston's dumb. Perhaps when she's pushing seventy Helen will be reading the emissions of some other child and thinking "you sure are sure of yourself for somebody who's never seen the elephant."
(All right, Helen. Don't get upset. It's what we call a colloquialism. She's too young to have heard it: A cowboy (other versions it's an Indian, never a Native American™ nor a Hindoo) goes to the circus and sees the elephant. He looks it over from nose to tail, walking around it six or seven times. Finally he leaves. "What'dya think?" the barker asks him on the way out. "There ain't no sech animal," sez the cowboy/Indian/not a Hindoo.)

Levy, Thompson and Winston will target four Republican senators on their hill visits Tuesday within their respective states. Other high schoolers will target Republicans from North Carolina -- a state that recently lost a Democratic Senate seat in the 2014 election.
Keep it up. They can lose more.

Rep. Jared Polis refers to Sen. Tom Cotton, decorated Army veteran, as 'Tehran Tom'
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Democratic Colorado Rep. Jared Polis took shots at Republican Sen. Tom Cotton on Twitter Tuesday, labeling the Iraq War veteran as "Tehran Tom" for his role in a letter sent to Iran.

"Tehran Tom took his case directly to the Iranian government," Mr. Polistweeted to his nearly 32,000 followers.

He was referring to a letter -- signed by Mr. Cotton and 46 of his Republican colleagues -- to Iran's government regarding nuclear negotiations between the two nations, the Washington Examiner reported.

"Tehran Tom asks Iranian Revolutionary Guards for help in battle against US diplomats," Mr. Polisadded, receiving 53 retweets.

The letter warned Tehran that any nuclear deal needs congressional approval in order to last beyond President B.O.'s time in office. Vice President 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...
strongly denounced the missive as offensive and "beneath the dignity of an institution I revere."

Mr. Cotton responded by saying Mr. Biden "has been wrong about nearly every foreign policy and national security decision in the last 40 years," the Examiner reported.

Meanwhile,
...back at the argument, Livia had made her point with her knee to Jane's stomach...
the front page of the New York Daily News labeled the 47 Senate Republicans as "traitors" in Tuesday's edition.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Kerry says Congress would not be able to change terms of Iran deal
[PBS] WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday that U.S. lawmakers won't be able to change the terms of any nuclear agreement with Iran because it won't be legally binding, a statement likely to inspire greater congressional opposition.

Kerry, Washington's senior representative in talks with Tehran, said he reacted with "utter disbelief" to a letter earlier this week signed by 47 Republican senators warning Iran's leaders that an accord with President Barack Obama's team could expire the day he leaves office.

#2  Kerry and Obama are so desperate to have their 'Legacy' that they are willing to sell us, and Israel to the Iranians to get it.
That is basically what this deal is - a bill of sale for Israeli lives.

#3  So the deal isn't "Legally Binding" means Iran doesn't have to follow it.

Is it just me or is the amateur hour growing into the amateur decade?

#4  Total illogic is what I expect from this Keystone cops version of fascist dictator wannabes.

If it's not legally binding you a-brained buffoon, congress doesn't have to change it, it can ignore it completely. Hopefully they will realize that they should ignore this whole corruptocrat circus that passes for our regime....either that or arrest them all for treason and behead the lot.

#6  There also was an executive agreement with Saigon vis a vis supporting South Vietnam.

We all know what happened later with (a Democratically-controlled) Congress.

#8  I think it was Thomas Sowell who said O will just surrender to everyone. Well at least not to Republicans. I really believe if Iran goes nuclear and destroys an American city O will do nothing in response.

#9  "On Happy Day ..." > MAD MAX: FURY ROAD trailer???

As for SecState Jaawhn,

* FREEREPUBLIC ARTICS this AM = Kerry says ...

> IRAN NUKE DEAL is NON-BINDING, which I'm personally interpreting that Iran can covertly proceed full-bore wid NucWeaps research-n-development widout violating the Deal.

> US OR US-ALLIES "HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DESTROY THE ISIS, BUT WE WON'T DO IT".

Unfortunately, iff true this statement by Kerry gives credence to IRAN'S claims that the Obama Admin = USA covertly desires to keep the ISIS contained, but NOT defeated or destroyed as an Organized Polity to use as a MilPol or Geopol hedge agz US' international rivals or protagonists.
