-Lurid Crime Tales-
Former FBI Official Admits Hillary Clinton Emails Were Found in Obama White House
[PJ] A former top FBI official has admitted under oath that a repository of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's email records was obtained by the Obama White House and housed in the Executive Office of the President.

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch recently coaxed the admission out of the former assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division, Bill Priestap, as part of a court-ordered discovery regarding Clinton’s unauthorized email server.

U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled earlier this year that discovery could commence examining Clinton’s use of the server and ordered Obama administration senior State Department officials, lawyers, and Clinton aides to be deposed or answer written questions under oath. The court said that the Clinton email system was "one of the gravest modern offenses to government transparency."
Second only to Clinton Foundation money laundering. Sorry Barack, the Foundation cannot handle that level of volume on short notice. Besides, we have no contacts in Iran. Please call Brennan. He may be able to assist.
Judicial Watch asked Priestap to identify representatives of Clinton, her former staff, and government agencies from which "email repositories were obtained" by the FBI.

In addition to the Executive Office of the President, Priestap also named "Clinton aides Cheryl Mills, Heather Samuelson, Jacob Sullivan, and Justin Cooper; former Clinton information technology staffer Bryan Pagliano, the State Department, Secret Service, and Washington-based law firm Williams and Connolly."

#1  Assumed for years, now finally revealed. Of course they were found in the Obama White House. If she didn't use a .gov address, how else could they have communicated ?

Coming soon: Emails containing classified data floated between Obama and Clinton on home brew server.

Followed by: Clinton home brew server established and maintained by US gov't intelligence agency via lucrative Platt River Network contract.

#5  Truthfully, I doubt sock puppet Obama knew or cared what was going on as long as no one bothered him before noon. Clinton, Brennan, and the rest of the Deep State cadre were fully covered. I believe the popular term is 'insurance policy'.

#12  i don't understand the phrase, 'a repository of..housed in the Exec Off of the President'

does that mean in the file server of the Exec Office

and what is a 'repository', does that mean a subsequently sorted folder of emails

#5  When Harris ( must use great restraint to keep from referring to her as Camel Toe) ran for Senate in California, Warren campaigned for her. Maybe after that, Warren thinks that Harris owes her. But at this point I think Harris would be wise to disassociate herself from Warren because Fauxahontas has become a joke.

Missed It By That Much: Hillary Clinton Almost Wins 'Wheel Of Fortune' But Then Shouts 'Easter Worshiper' Instead Of 'Christian'
[Babylon Bee] Some people think Hillary Clinton is robotic and hard to sympathize with, but even our hearts went out to her on this one.

On a special politicians' episode of Wheel of Fortune, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton nearly took home the grand prize. She was on the last puzzle of the regular rounds of the game, which read, CHRISTI_N. The audience began to cheer as it appeared Clinton had finally won something.
*snicker*
But, as is usual for Clinton, she snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, and shouted "Easter worshiper!" instead of the obvious answer, which was "Christian."

Heartbreaker!

Clinton has demanded an appeal, claiming that although she lost fair and square, she feels like she won, as Christians are kinda Easter worshipers, even though no one ever says that.

Home Front: Culture Wars
Mark Steyn: Don't Mention the Jihad
h/t Instapundit
[SteynOnline] As I wrote yesterday, I think media coverage of the Sri Lankan Easter massacre marked a further descent on a ever slipperier slope. But it's worth noting that we're where we are today because of trends set in motion back when this thing got going. Less than three months after 9/11 - December 1st 2001 - I published the following piece in The Spectator. In the ensuing eighteen years, every fatuous Islamoschmoozing tic of western politicians has expanded beyond parody:

#1  Had some 'Christian fundamentalists' slaughtered thousands of civilians in the name of their faith, I doubt whether Bush and Blair would be worrying whether they'd swung by enough Baptist chapels and evangelical vestries.

Thoughts from a hipster coffee shop
[Alpha News] I’m sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of Democratic candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around. I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook’s, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we’ve become completely blind to it. Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose. These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don’t give them a second thought. We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty. One. Times. Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful.

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity. Let that sink in. When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I’ve ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Now, I’m not attributing Miss Ocasio-Cortez’s words to outright dishonesty. I do think she whole-heartedly believes the words she said to be true. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided. My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let’s just say I didn’t have the popular opinion, but I digress.

#3  Good excerpt.
Millennial have had a crappy job market their entire adult life, until now. I imagine that might cause some misplaced negative feelings about capitalism.

#4  Good article.

Good call.

I do think she whole-heartedly believes the words she said to be true.

Ouch!
