[PJ Media] Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign charged that the delay of the House Select Committee on Benghazi's report into the 2012 terrorist attack is proof that the probe is purely politicized.
Bloomberg first reported that the release of the findings of Chairman Trey Gowdy's (R-S.C.) committee would be pushed into campaign season, but Republicans contest that's because of uncooperative figures in the investigation.
Asked today if that "reeked" of politics, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Gowdy is doing "fine work" and "they've got a lot more work to do." Articles of Impeachment to be issued immediately following Presidential Oath of Office....News at 11.
"They could clean this up a whole lot quicker if the administration and Secretary -- former Secretary Clinton were in a position to actually cooperate with the committee and turn over the kind of information that we've been seeking for some time. But the administration has made it virtually impossible to get to the facts surrounding Benghazi," Boehner told reporters. "And so when we have the facts, we'll have a report."
Boehner said he sees Gowdy "from time to time to get a little update on how they're doing. That's close enough." Nothing to hide, nothing to worry about I always say.

Running for president is by definition political, and the competency for such position is not a game.
Perhaps, your majesty, if it had not happened, it would not be an issue, no? In light of that, if you had not obstructed the investigation, it would be over already?

This reminds me of how lawyers for condemned criminals will file appeal after appeal, for 10, 15, 20 years. Then they will file an appeal that it cruel and unusual punishment to make someone sit on death row for 10, 15, 20 years. Hillary has done whatever she can to block the investigation into Benghazi, and now she complains that the Republicans are deliberately delaying the investigation.

Don't do the shady stuff and the opposition can't time revelations of that shady stuff to embarrass you (because they haven't the stones to prosecute you).

It's frustrating to watch the sausage get made in Washington and then let it lay around and get rancid for awhile. The sausage factory needs a good wash down every now and then.
[Daily Caller] General Electric (GE) CEO Jeffrey Immelt said Wednesday that he will not release the emails that GE exchanged with Hillary Clinton's State Department during the period in which GE was donating to the Clinton Foundation.
"Again, I think that's not something we would do. Right?" Immelt said at GE's shareholder meeting in Oklahoma City, OK in response to a question from Justin Danhof of the National Center For Public Policy Research, who pressed the CEO to release written communications with the State Department.
Secretary of State Clinton lobbied the Algerian president in 2012 to pick GE as a contractor for Algerian power plants. GE got the Algeria deal and quickly thereafter donated to the Clinton Foundation. Clinton also lobbied on behalf of Clinton Foundation donors including Boeing and Chevron.
"I think for a global company it's very normal business where the State Department and or other officials actually help us around the world" Immelt said in the exchange, audio of which was reviewed by TheDC. "And we do that today. We did that in the past. I hope we do that always."

I guess since GE is up to their neck in favoritism with the current administration and its myrmidons, and considering such favoritism has netted the gift of not paying any income taxes, I would think the GE CEO is probably thinking about his own financial best interests rather than Hildabeast.
[NYT] The headline in Pravda trumpeted President Vladimir V. Putin's latest coup, its nationalistic fervor recalling an era when the newspaper served as the official mouthpiece of the Kremlin: "Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World."
The article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world's largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.
But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one.
At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.
