[DAILYSIGNAL] ...The Rose Law Firm records involved a particular phone call and transaction involving Hillary that was “intended to deceive financial regulators,” according to a Frontline series by the Public Broadcasting Service. Federal bank regulators went so far as to call the financial deal involving Hillary and the Rose Law Firm “a sham.”
But for Hillary, a sitting first lady, the subterfuge was only beginning. Federal prosecutors subpoenaed documents surrounding the real estate transaction, but the papers went missing for two years—until January 1996—when Hillary’s aide reported that they had magically appeared in the book room on the third floor of the White House in the Clintons’ personal residence.
With no explanation provided by Hillary regarding the subpoenaed documents, which turned out to have been in her custody the entire time, investigators called in the Federal Bureau of Investigation to “ascertain [Hillary’s] role in their mysterious disappearance.” An FBI fingerprint analysis of the Rose Law Firm billing records revealed there were two significant sets of fingerprints on the missing subpoenaed documents—those of White House Deputy Legal Counsel Vince Foster and Hillary Clinton.
The Senate Whitewater Committee, which at the time also was investigating the matter, ultimately concluded the documents indeed had been placed into the book room by Hillary Clinton herself. Hillary of course stated she had “no idea” how the documents had ended up there.
In the midst of the investigation, Foster died in what was ruled a self-inflicted gunshot wound, and more chicanery surfaced—a hard drive from Foster’s White House computer went missing. It eventually turned up in the Old Executive Office Building across the street from the White House, but investigators ultimately were unable to recover documents from the hard drive because it had been significantly damaged.

The only legitimate democracy in the region and the regime is flipping them off by the numbers. Perhaps this is a glimpse of what the regime actually thinks of democracies in general.

If Bibi wanted to have a go at Zero he could thank him for his assistance in the election, "it was your hard work that got us over the line, we may even have lost without your help" sort of thing.

Sort of 'damning with faint praise' category. I've always enjoyed it.

Give him a break! He got off to a bad start in college, foreign born accusations, citizenship, religion, who's yer daddy, etc. [see ID card at right] He's still trying to recover.

perhaps time to start one of those WH site petitions requiring him to offer heartfelt and sincere congrats to Bibi. Only need 100K and he is supposed to be required to respond to the petition.....
[USATODAY] The White House is removing a federal regulation that subjects its Office of Administration to the Freedom of Information Act, making official a policy under Presidents Bush and Obama to reject requests for records to that office.
The White House said the cleanup of FOIA regulations is consistent with court rulings that hold that the office is not subject to the transparency law. The office handles, among other things, White House record-keeping duties like the archiving of e-mails.
But the timing of the move raised eyebrows among transparency advocates, coming on National Freedom of Information Day and during a national debate ... an expenditure of personal wind at the national level that leads to face-making and other histrionics but can't be shown to have ever solved an issue ... over the preservation of B.O. regime records. It's also Sunshine Week, an effort by news organizations and watchdog groups to highlight issues of government transparency.
"The irony of this being Sunshine Week is not lost on me," said Anne Weismann of the liberal Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW.

Lining up bureaucrats to stand in the way of your own auditing ability of your own Government.
[National Review] Several information-technology workers provided anonymous testimony for today's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the immigration reforms needed to protect skilled workers. One former IT worker at multi-billion dollar utilities provider Southern California Edison, who chose to remain anonymous because of a non-disparagement agreement he signed with his former employer, wrote that he was recently replaced by a foreign worker with an H-1B visa. He is one of more than 400 people at Southern California Edison (SCE) who have reportedly lost their jobs to foreign workers in India.

Spot on dlr, and investment in domestic companies continues to be outpaced by investment in foreign based firms. Wealth and money generally migrates to destinations where more money and wealth can be created, not where it will be subject to heavy governmental tax levies and public thievery.

Funny how all these people that get screwed like this all say that they "voted for Obama", like it gives them some kind of immunity from being screwed like this.
Too bad, so sad...

I suspect the same people who voted for Obama have no guilt or discomfort from collecting unemployement. I found it soul sucking and heart breaking.

When politicians no longer have names like 'John' are replaced by people with names such as 'Antonio López de Santa Anna' then maybe the 'Johns' will finally have regrets as well.

Be thankful that negotiations andor action vee the OWG NAU-empowering TPP has repor been put off until April.
Iff the "American Dream" = now the "North American/Amerikan Dream" = the Anti-Nationalist-Sovereignty-now-OWG-Globalist Fed is going to be inviting in Milyuhns-n-Tilyuhns of Foreign Workers from Mexico + Canada + Greenland, etal. to live + work in CONUS-NORAM, WHEN + WHAT, ETC, WILL AMERIKAN WORKERS BE ALLOWED INTO MEXICO + CANADA + GREENLAND, ETAL. TO LIVE-N-WORK IN RIGHTEOUS GLOBALIST CO-AMERIKAN, CO-NATIONAL/LATERAL "RECIPROCITY"???
Surprise, surprise, the Globies have not answered this question either, just as they haven't answered how much is the future Ex-Sole-Superpower-now-CoSuperpower USA has to unilaterally give up to its Globalist Siblings, andor how far is America = Amerika supposed to unilaterally self-retreat or fallback towards CONUS-NORAM widout being Geopol/MilPOl or Existentially endangered or threatened???
All thingys equal, WHAT ULTIMATELY PISSES ME OFF IS THAT NEITHER THE BAMMER NOR OUR MIGHTY ANTI-UNITARIAN UNITARIAN GOP-DEM ESTABLISHMENT IS ASKING THE VOTERS OR MAINSTREAM IFF THEY WANT THE ABOVE + RELATED.
NOTHING IS STOPPING THESE POLITICOS FROM TELLING US SAVE THEMSELVES + FEAR OF BEING HANGED FROM THE HIGHEST TREE, DRAWN-N-QUARTERED, ETC. IFF THE TRUTH EVAR! CAME OUT!
Someone has to suffer for their Sins, + they're making sure its N-O-T going to be them.
Iff the post-Divorce, Marxists-Commies-Socialists-Globalists think they can control the Islamic MilTerrs/Burqua Boyz + Soon-to-be-Nuclear Global Jihad, I see very little or nothing on the MSM-Net that says they can - IFF THE MARXISTS + GLOBIES AREN'T CAREFUL, ALL THEY MAY ACHIEVE IS DE FACTO HELPING THE JIHADIS CUT OFF THEIR OWN HEADS - LITERALLY.

Yes, but since they cannot conceive of a situation where they are not running things as they do now, and living comfortably and safely as they do now, they have not and will not take into account that possibility as they make their little clever plans, JosephM.

Either the complete submission to our new overlords or the violent overthrow of them is pretty much inevitable at this point OS. I don't have much hope for it to be otherwise.
A reliable way to make people believe in falsehoods is frequent repetition, because familiarity is not easily distinguished from truth. Authoritarian institutions and marketers have always known this fact. But it was psychologists who discovered that you do not have to repeat the entire statement of a fact or idea to make it appear true. People who were repeatedly exposed to the phrase "the body temperature of a chicken" were more likely to accept as true the statement that "the body temperature of a chicken is 144 °" (or any other arbitrary number). The familiarity of one phrase in the statement sufficed to make the whole statement feel familiar, and therefore true. If you cannot remember the source of a statement, and have no way to relate it to other things you know, you have no option but to go with the sense of cognitive ease.

State can't produce a doc showing Hill sighed the statement. Contrawise, State has no document showing Hill *didn't* sign the statement. Therefore, no evidence she committed a crime. Paint me blue and call me a lawyer!

Whoa, so IOW, and not unlike the US Dept. of US DepState now has two [or more?] CO-SECRETARIES OF STATE, I.E. KERRY + HILLARY???
lol.
Isn't this taking an Israeli-Paleo style, TWO-STATE OR THREE/MULTI-STATE SOLUTION FOR AMERIKA A BIT TOO FAR - the Bammer or the Fed must be expecting SUPER-MASSIVE INCREASE IN GOVT. BUREAUCRACY-N-REGULATION, ETC. VEE THE NAU???

Subpoena the State Department Special Security Officer (SSO) and see what he/she has to say. Have him bring along his Non-Disclosure as well as his Special or Sensitive Program(S) 'read-on' ledger.
While you're at it, subpoena the head of State Department Information Technology (IT) and discuss e-mail protocols for both SIPR and NIPR (secure & non-secure mail) systems as well.
Getting to the bottom of this should not be that difficult.... unless 'getting to the bottom' is not really a desired outcome.
Setup for Obama to defy the Constitution and run again, or simply declare himself everlasting autocrat?
The fact that one can discuss that and not be totally loony shows how far we've fallen.

So find the DoS officer who didn't get the doc and prosecute them for not following the law. The choice: give up the next person or take the fall.
It really says something when investigating the State Dept has to involve RICO tactics. But that's pretty much the entire govt these days.

UNCLASSIFIED
Damage Assessments
A. AUTHORITY: The National Security Act of 1947, as amended; the Counterintelligence Enhancement Act of 2002; Executive Order (EO)12333, as amended; EO 13526; and other applicable provisions of law.
B. PURPOSE
1. Establish policy for the conduct of damage assessments in response to the unauthorized disclosure or compromise of classified
national intelligence.
2. Provide a process for coordination and cooperation within the Intelligence Community (IC) to ensure damage assessments are produced
in an efficient, timely, consistent and collaborative manner.
3. Provide a process for the IC to use the findings and recommendations from damage assessments to strengthen the protection
of classified national intelligence and prevent future unauthorized disclosures or compromises.
C. APPLICABILITY
1. This Directive applies to the IC, as defined by the National Security Act of 1947, as amended, and to such elements of any other department or agency as may be designated an element of the IC by the President, or jointly by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the head of the department or agency concerned.
2. For IC elements within departments, this Intelligence Community Directive (ICD) applies to damage assessments on unauthorized disclosure
or compromise of classified national intelligence. For all other damage
assessments, departmental policies shall have primacy.
D. POLICY
1. Damage assessments are used within the counterintelligence (Cl)
and security communities to evaluate actual or potential damage to national security resulting from the unauthorized disclosure or
compromise of classified national intelligence.
2. Damage assessments shall be conducted when there is an actual or suspected unauthorized disclosure or compromise of classified national
intelligence that may cause damage to U.S. national security.
3. Damage assessments may also be conducted when there is an actual or suspected loss, misuse, or unauthorized access to or modification
of classified national intelligence that could adversely affect national security.
4. In cases where the unauthorized disclosure or compromise involves classified national
intelligence originating from and affecting only a single IC element, the damage assessment shall
be conducted by the head of that IC element after coordination with the National Counterintelligence Executive (NCIX) to ensure that the information compromised is from and
affects only a single IC element.
5. In cases where the unauthorized disclosure or compromise involves classified national
intelligence originating from or otherwise affecting more than one IC element or U.S.
Government department or agency, there will be a Community damage assessment. Such damage assessments shall include participation and support from the affected IC elements and
other representatives as directed by the DNI.
6. Damage assessments shall be conducted in a manner as to not unduly interfere with
ongoing criminal investigations or prosecutions.
7. Damage assessments shall include the following:
a. Identification of disclosed or compromised classified national intelligence, including
sources, methods, or activities (specifically including: equipment, facilities, locations,
partnerships, plans, strategies, technologies, or programs);
b. A description of the circumstances under which the unauthorized disclosure or
compromise transpired;
c. Evaluation of the impact of the disclosure or compromise of the classified national
intelligence, including the classification level; the amount of information disclosed; the length of
time that the unauthorized disclosure or compromise continued; the breadth of organizational equities involved; and the duration or programmatic lifecycle of the systems, capabilities, or operations involved;
d. An estimate of actual or potential damage to U.S. national security, including to
intelligence sources, methods, and activities;
e. Identification of any foreign involvement in the unauthorized disclosure or compromise, as well as foreign tradecraft trends, indications, and effects of possible targeting by Foreign Intelligence Entities;
f. Identification of systemic weaknesses or vulnerabilities in security, CI, information
assurance, human resources, and other internal organizational functions that may have facilitated
the unauthorized disclosure or compromise;
g. An assessment of the likelihood and consequences of further disclosure of the
compromised classified national intelligence to an individual, organization, foreign government,
or other entity that is not authorized to receive the classified national intelligence, including
those organizations or countries hostile to the U.S.;
h. Identification of areas where additional damage may occur absent corrective action;
i. Detailed, actionable recommendations to prevent future occurrences, when
appropriate; and
j. A summary of findings for use in understanding and mitigating damage that could
result from future unauthorized disclosures and compromises.
8. Nothing in this Directive precludes an IC element from conducting an equity review of
the unauthorized disclosure or compromise of classified national intelligence. Damage
assessments are separate and distinct from an equity review, which may be conducted to
determine what classified national intelligence may have been lost or compromised; the
originator of the information; the departments and agencies that may have equity in the
information; and the activities, programs, operations, or assets that may be affected. Equity
reviews do not provide analysis and recommendations.
E. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
1. The NCIX shall:
a. Oversee and coordinate equity reviews and formal damage assessments within the IC;
b. Lead, when designated by the DNI, or facilitate damage assessment teams when the
unauthorized disclosure or compromise involves classified national intelligence affecting more
than one IC element or U.S. Government department or agency, and may as appropriate delegate
certain responsibilities to heads of IC elements;
c. Provide copies of completed damage assessments to affected parties;
d. Share lessons learned on vulnerabilities, threat identification, patterns and trends, and
adversarial capabilities and tradecraft with IC elements;
e. Share best practices such as recommended mitigation measures for implementation
throughout the IC; and
f. Ensure draft damage assessments are reviewed by all affected parties for the purposes
of validating factual accuracy.
2. The Assistant DNI for Partner Engagement shall:
a. Work with affected IC elements to ensure DNI Representatives are appropriately
informed of the potential loss or compromise of classified national intelligence;
b. Coordinate as needed with departments and agencies outside the IC regarding the loss
or compromise of their information; and
c. In coordination with NCIX, and the heads of other relevant ODNI components and IC
elements, oversee IC communications with affected foreign partners to ensure a consistent
message regarding any damage.
3. Heads of IC elements shall:
a. Consistent with Section D.4, coordinate with the NCIX to validate that the
compromise is from and affects only a single IC element;
b. Conduct damage assessments in cases where the unauthorized disclosure or
compromise involves only classified national intelligence originated and affecting only their IC element;
c. Promptly notify the DNI, through the NCIX, of any loss or compromise of classified
national intelligence concurrent with crimes reports to the Department of Justice and reports to Congress in accordance with lCD 112, Congressional Notification.
d. Provide requested support for damage assessments conducted in accordance with
paragraph D.5;
e. When the unauthorized disclosure or compromise involves a compartmented
program, ensure access to the program by appropriate personnel of the office of the NCIX and of the affected IC element for the purpose of fulfilling the responsibilities under this Directive;
f. Implement mitigation measures recommended in the final damage assessment, and
inform the DNI, through the NCIX, of implementation of those measures;
g. Upon determination that an actual or suspected unauthorized disclosure or
compromise involves the classified information or interest of another U.S. Government agency
or a foreign government, consistent with 32 CFR 2001.48:
(1) Inform the U.S. Government agency of the circumstances and findings affecting
its information or interest; and
(2) Consult with the DNI or designee to determine the appropriate U.S.
Government entities to coordinate with prior to notifying a foreign government. Foreign
governments normally will not be advised of any security system vulnerabilities that contributed
to the compromise; and
h. Provide NCIX with a copy of damage assessments completed in accordance with
Section D.4 of this Directive.
F. EFFECTIVE DATE: This Directive becomes effective on the date of signature.

One of the early, key indicators of the unfortunate accuracy of Darth's 'nothing will happen' assessment is the lack of 'Suspension of Security Access' [Security Clearance] pending completion of investigation by the issuing authority.... State Dept. or White house.
They are the anointed, clearly above the law and legal conduct. Sadly, our system is broken, bankrupt.
Kinda makes me wish for something like the British parliamentary system where they can have vote of no confidence. They don't have to convict, just express a lack of confidence and then they get a general election with the hope that voters will throw the rascals out.
This form has been in force since 9/1994:
That means that Warren Christopher and Madeline Albright were also covered by this form.
Since Hillary and State is trying to imply that nobody uses this, let's see if Clinton's 2 Secretaries of State signed their forms. If they did, Hillary is SOL.

Don't know about Foggy Bottom but in DoD, if you refuse to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) of any type, transfer, special program and the like, you're subject to have your security clearance immediately suspended, a 'flag'[suspension of favorable personnel actions] placed in your personnel file, and you'll very likely become the subject of a thorough investigation.
Yes, quite so. It's an fok'n INDICATOR of nefarious activities !

It says 'Departmental policy shall have primacy.' So, as head of the State Department, she established the policy wherein whatever she did was ok. Hence, she obeyed all the applicable rules.
State Dept security policy is on the internet. You just need to know where to look. Hey Mainstream Press - check these out.

[WASHINGTONTIMES] The government paid out $124.7 billion in potentially bogus payments last year, the government's chief watchdog said Monday, blaming a controversial tax credit for the poor as well as increased bad payments in Medicare and Medicaid.
One major problem is tracking when Americans die -- the Social Security Administration admitted last week that its rolls are filled with names of more than 6 million folks who are listed as 112 years of age or older.
The Government Accountability Office said Social Security has trouble maintaining the Death Master File, and other agencies have difficulties in getting the information to update their own files and halt payments to those no longer alive to collect benefits.
