IRS tea-party villain Lois Lerner had ANOTHER secret email address -- and this one was named after her dog and her husband
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK]
  • Lerner is at the center of the long saga involving the IRS targeting tea party groups for special scrutiny because of their politics
  • Investigators discovered in 2013 that Lerner had used a private email account to conduct official IRS business
  • Now the IRS tells a federal court in a Freedom Of Information Act case that she also had a second private account
  • Newly discovered account was registered to a 'Toby Miles' – after her dog Toby and her husband's surname

#3  Zebulon: your comment just a few years ago would have been taken solely as a joke. Now, I don't know. There is now probably a "Beastiality Rights Group" out there somewhere...

How to solve San Francisco's homeless pooping problem

#1  Ah, yes, modern urban hand wringers. Guess all that effort to put modern plumbing in rather than just dumping 'it' into the streets has lost it vague. There was a reason pestilence and plague were rather harsh on urban living in the past, enough to keep the population to a manageable level. Some people have just got to learn the hard way.

#2  oops, vogue not vague.

#4  Because you common people have to deal with it in the streets on a regular basis, but not the glitterati we want to come spend their money and glamor for a few days. All you poopers - go someplace else!

#5  Whenever you are walking your homeless carry a small bag to clean up after them. It is the neighborly thing to do.

#8  5th and Market was nice till the bums overran it coming in from city hall where they were allowed to sleep urinate and defecate. I guess the druggies and bums are now down by the Moscone center, and into the Wharf.

Its the ultimate liberal result. 3rd world conditions because they allow it to happen rather than offend any leftard pressure group and ignore law abiding citizens' concerns.

Senator Grassley State on whether Beest has security clearance despite FBI probe
[FOX] The Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee is directly questioning whether Hillary Clinton still maintains her security clearance despite the ongoing FBI investigation into the mishandling of classified information, according to a new letter to Secretary of State John Kerry.

In the Aug. 24 letter, which marks a significant expansion of the Republican senator's inquiry, Sen. Charles Grassley writes, "Since the [intelligence community inspector general] IC IG made a referral to the FBI pursuant to 50 U.S.C. §3381, has Secretary Clinton's security clearance been suspended pending the outcome of the inquiry?"

The suspension of a clearance is standard practice, a kind of interim step taken to preserve security until an investigation is complete, according to current and former military intelligence officials.

"If you have a circle of people and they are the source of the leak, all of them, normally would be suspended from their positions, they can't go in the building," Chris Farell, a former special agent for Army counterintelligence, told Fox News. Farrell now works as an investigator for Judicial Watch, which is suing for Clinton records.

"The clearances would be suspended by the security manager and it would be made known that there is an active investigation into the loss of classified information, and no information should be shared with these individuals pending the outcome," Farrell added.

In the four-page letter, Grassley said, based on a letter from Clinton's personal attorney David Kendall, that neither he nor his associate Katherine M. Turner had sufficient security clearances to handle the emails -- which contained at least two highly classified documents identified by the intelligence community's IG.

"... neither Mr. Kendall nor Ms. Turner have a security clearance at a sufficient level to be a custodian of TS/SCI (Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information) material," he wrote.

Grassley's letter also for the first time laid out a timeline that is key to the FBI investigation. The senator said Clinton provided copies of the emails to her lawyer in December 2014. Classified intelligence was identified in the emails in May 2015, but it wasn't until July that the State Department, in a highly unusual move, supplied Kendall with a safe -- a further admission that while Clinton says no documents stamped classified were sent or received by her, the State Department was concerned enough to provide secure storage to Kendall.

#4  They'll drag it out until the last moment. Give us as little time as possible to vet the actual nominee.

#5  Pah! How much time did we have to vet Champ? And who vetted him? Color me cynical.
