[Observer] Clinton donor smeared a decorated DEA agent and helped crooked Venezuelan friends escape justice.
Recent news reports indicate that the FBI is investigating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for granting favors to her family’s foundation donors and for its systematic accounting fraud. In January, the Sunday Times of London cited former Judge Andrew Napolitano, a conservative libertarian and frequent Fox News guest, as saying that the FBI was taking evidence "seriously" and that Hillary "could hear about that soon from the Department of Justice."
It’s hard to believe that the Obama administration and its hideously politicized Justice Department would ever indict Ms. Clinton, given that President Barack Obama picked her for secretary of state and its clear favoritism toward her in the presidential race. But there is massive evidence that shows financial abuses--including money laundering--at the Clinton Foundation and overwhelming evidence that donors were helped by Ms. Clinton.
To take one of so many examples, there’s the case of Clinton Foundation donor Claudio Osorio--who is now housed at a federal prison serving 12 years for fraud--who in 2010, with Ms. Clinton’s (and Bill Clinton’s) help, won a $10 million loan from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation.
The loan was granted to an Osorio firm called InnoVida, which was supposed to build houses in earthquake-ravaged Haiti. Instead, Osorio pocketed the money and used it to underwrite his lavish lifestyle and to pay off politicians. For political muscle, Osorio--who also had close ties to Jeb Bush, who sat on the board of a bank he owned--paid a lobbyist and major Hillary fundraiser named Jonathan Mantz.
And that leads me to another Clinton Foundation donor Ms. Clinton helped out who happened to use Mr. Mantz (who now runs Ms. Clinton’s presidential campaign Super PAC) and apparently with the same great effect: Gonzalo Tirado, a crooked Venezuelan financier.
[Examiner] The Obama administration imposed over 1,000 new rules, one-third of all proposed in 2015, without first following the law and giving Congress a look and chance to kill them, according to a new report.
The American Action Forum, which studies federal rules, regulations and other actions, said that the number of violations in 2015 was even bigger than in 2014, when a top Obama aide apologized for breaking the law and promised to make sure new rules were first passed by Congress and the General Accountability Office.
The center-right group said that despite the pledge, it found "955 rules weren't sent to GAO in 2014 and roughly 1,069 weren't reported in 2015." The report said that there were 3,408 rules issued by the administration's agencies last year.
The Congressional Review Act requires that agencies pass new rules by Congress before they are imposed, explaining the impact of each and whether they will have a major or minor economic impact.

[Tea Party] Asked during a recent Democratic debate if she would step aside if indicted for mishandling classified information on her private email server, Hillary Clinton replied:
"Oh for goodness ... that's not going to happen. I'm not even answering that question."
Well, she better get ready to answer that question, because the investigation of Hillary's email scandal is reaching a climax.
My sources tell me that the Justice Department is close to empaneling a grand jury and deciding whether to grant statutory immunity to Huma Abedin, Hillary's closest adviser.
That would force Huma to testify under oath and face perjury charges and jail time if she lies. I’m also told that Hillary herself will most likely be forced to testify.
That things have gotten this far in the investigation indicates that FBI director James Comey is moving inexorably toward recommending to Attorney General Loretta Lynch that Hillary be indicted.
My sources say the likelihood is that Lynch will not make that decision herself. Instead, she'll probably appoint a special counsel to make the decision. That will get the Obama administration off the hook and avoid charges of a conflict of interest or, even worse, obstruction of justice.
#1
They could give immunity to Huma for a grand jury show for what she knows about Hillary, but Hillary would have to be indicted for the *ahem* alleged crimes, as the grand jury would hand up an indictment to the prosecutor. Then it is up to the prosecutor to handle the case. One hot potato.

So who will they appoint special prosecutor? Eric Holder?
[MCCLATCHYDC] The people who spend two bucks for chili at the Courtesy Diner at Laclede Station Road can’t fathom why anyone would pay Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as the Smartest Woman in the World and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Al Haig ... $225,000 to make a speech.
Nor can they understand why the U.S. Senate is taking a 17-day break for Easter after spending much of their time last week fuming over the Supreme Court vacancy. Somehow, people all over America are saying loudly and clearly this election year, Washington and its enablers -- the media, the political pros and Wall Street -- don’t understand us.
That’s why, all over this slice of middle America, exasperated people got up before dawn on a cold, 37-degree morning recently to spend four hours in a line so long that from its end people couldn’t even see the Peabody Opera House, where they would hear Donald Trump. And it wasn’t just Trump. In the next two days, other folks nearby lined up to hear the outsider talk from Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... , Ind.-Vt.
They share the same grievance. In 2016 America, the deepest divide is not between Democrats and Republicans. It’s not even between conservatives and liberals. It’s between Us and Them -- the people versus The Establishment.

And the establishment Repub and Dems either do not have a clue, or they think that they are above the people and don't give a rat's behind. When things get really bad, read about the abdication of Louis XVI of France. Good learning experience to know what happens to the peasants when they REALLY get pi$$ed off, and have nothing to lose.

Who the hell are they?
They're that tiny little spot that was ignored until it became a tumor.

Revoke / phase out pensions for elected officials. That would be a good start, at a bare minimum. Also - shitcan or RIF 10,000 goons from the IRS (estimated 80,000 employees) as punishment for their targeting of the Tea Party groups.

How do you hold the enablers accountable? I mean the Press and cronies and bankers and people like Soros who have been aiding and abetting this bunch for decades.
#8
Who are they? A society of sociopaths who have been extremely successful in gaining control of government, media and finance for the purpose of sucking the rest of us dry. Like parasites they are now in danger of killing their host. Then along comes a guy like Donald Trump who is a buffoon, a loud mouth, a brash and somewhat vulgar loose cannon who speaks the language of the people instead of the alien dialect they've been hearing from the Establishment. Judging by the way these Establishment types are squealing it would at least appear that Trump is not one of them.
#10
The problem is the media has been covering for them forever and the media no longer has any credibility. They no longer have a figleaf to hide their lies behind.

So, all former Presidential hopefuls mentioned in the article that were sunk by such accusations were... Democrats - quelle surprise!
I'd like to think that someone who has harbored presidential aspirations from the other side of the aisle for a good portion of his lifetime would not be so stupid & reckless to be banging other women besides their wives. Going to school at Harvard, surrounded by hundreds of enemy leftists, Cruz must have known this, so I'm calling bullshit here.

Is it presidential? Yes.
Is poking a groupie a good time? Yes.
Do either manifest a more desirable character in a man? Maybe not.
Is it a measure of morality? Yes.

This source has track record for spilling the beans on a lot of folks who "should have known better". From what I read, the "old hands" at interpreting NE tabloid exposes say that the inclusion of photos that can be identified with minor effort suggest that NE is prepared to defend itself aggressively against defamation charges - which means that it probably has fairly strong hard evidence. I guess that time will tell.
I wonder if this is effectively Donald Trump "firing a shot across the bow" of the SS Rafael Cruz, to let him (and all subsequent opponents) know that taking shots at Melania will earn them withering counter-battery fire.

3 Photos of alleged affairs Identified - Amanda Carpenter, Katrina Pierson (Trump spokesperson!), and Sarah Flores (campaign manager for Carly Fiorina). Allegedly these were not recent affairs, but years ago when the Cruz were living apart.
Can not hang this on Trump - back in March, the group pushing for this were seemingly all supporters of Marco Rubio per Twitter.
Let the chimpanzee style shit storm begin again in the zoo of campaign 2016.
This should wrap the nomination up for Trump. Sometimes you win by being better, sometimes you win by dragging the opponent down below you. In politics, a win is a win.
Now the question is how is he going to out dirty the Clintons or Sanders?
#7
The folks that really care about affairs are evengelicals and they already seem to be lining up for Trump. I'm not sure how big a dent this will make. Of course at this point it wouldn't have to be a big dent.
Ted Cruz on Friday angrily slammed as "garbage" allegations from a U.S. tabloid magazine that he had affairs with five mistresses and he accused Republican rival Donald Trump of concocting the explosive story.
The National Enquirer splashed the alleged scandal across the front page of its April 4 edition, screaming "It's Over For Pervy Ted." The magazine touted "an explosive 'dirt file' on the finger-wagging conservative senator" but did not identify or quote any of the alleged mistresses in its online version.
"Let me be clear, this National Enquirer story is garbage. It is complete and utter lies," Cruz told reporters from the campaign trail in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. "It is a tabloid smear, and it is a smear that has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen."
He repeated the denial online.
"For Donald J. Trump to enlist his friends at the National Enquirer and his political henchmen to do his bidding shows you that there is no low Donald won't go," Cruz said on his official Facebook page.
"These smears are completely false, they're offensive to Heidi and me, they're offensive to our daughters, and they're offensive to everyone Donald continues to personally attack."
Cruz campaign adviser Jason Johnson tweeted links to a report that Trump and Enquirer CEO David Pecker had been friends for years.
Trump denied having anything to do with the story.
"Ted Cruz's problem with the National Enquirer is his and his alone, and while they were right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards, and many others, I certainly hope they are not right about Lyinâ Ted Cruz."
"One of the alleged mistresses that the National Enquirer claims Sen. Ted Cruz had an affair with dismissed the charge as “BS.” Further, she does not believe the other four women the tabloid supposedly uncovered had affairs with him either. Two of the five women have already publicly called the allegations false."
#15
The only source quoted in the entire article is Roger "Ratfucker" Stone, "former" Trump surrogate. Everything else is "Claims they heard Claims". The enquires Editor is friends with Donald Trump and the tabloid actually endorsed him.
Secondly the Enquire recently came out with the story that Scalia was assassinated by a "$2,000 dollar a night hooker recruited by the CIA from Mexico". No, you aren't misreading that.
This is baseless so far. I'll wait until some actual evidence turns up, like with John Edwards.

Conservative legal watchdogs have discovered new emails from Hillary Clinton's private email server....
The previously undisclosed February 2009 emails between Clinton from her then-chief of staff, Cheryl Mills. Clinton's presidential campaign has previously claimed that the former top diplomat did not use her personal "clintonemail.com" account before March 2009, weeks after she was sworn in as secretary of State.
But on Thursday, the watchdog group Judicial Watch released one message from Feb. 13, 2009, in which Mills communicated with Clinton on the account to discuss the National Security Agency's (NSA) efforts to produce a secure BlackBerry device for her to use as secretary of State.
The discovery is likely to renew questions about Clinton's narrative about her use of the private email server, which has come under scrutiny.Fitton, the Judicial Watch head, described Thursday's email as a repudiation of Clinton's timeline.
"So now we know that, contrary to her statement under oath suggesting otherwise, Hillary Clinton did not turn over all her government emails," he said in a statement. "We also know why Hillary Clinton falsely suggests she didn't use clintonemail.com account prior to March, 18, 2009 ‐ because she didn't want Americans to know about her February 13, 2009, email that shows that she knew her Blackberry and email use was not secure." Hillary got away with false testimony under oath before in the matter of the Rose Law Firm billing files which she swore she didn't know about but obviously she did since they just appeared one day in the White House. Probably thinks she can get away again.

[Breitbart] 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney took a swipe at GOP frontrunner Donald Trump during a GOP dinner on Tuesday night, mocking him for his foreign-born wives.
"Donald Trump has had several foreign wives. It turns out that there really are jobs Americans won’t do," Romney reportedly joked at the Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) GOP dinner on Tuesday night.
Two of Trump's three wives were from other countries. Ivana, Trump's first wife, was born in Czechoslovakia and Trump's current wife Melania is from Slovenia.

I thought Mitt's wife was a Poly Mormon from Mexico?

He's not mocking Trump's wives - he's mocking Trump. Breitbart seems to be taking lessons from Pravda. It's kind of noteworthy, however, how none of Trump's wives is accomplished in her own right as anything other than arm candy.

I can speak from experience on this issue. Eastern European women were spared the radical changes in womanhood that began here with the 1968 "free-love' movements, and continue to this day with all of the tattooed, overweight, bellicose, unmarried welfare mothers our society (and tax laws) have engendered.
Trump's interest in traditional Eastern European gals (they tend to be traditional, but keep an eye on them) is a sign of intellect and good taste.
Romney on the other hand can probably count a half dozen "Elizabeth Smarts" in his brood, and probably knows a thousand others.
#13
As someone who voted for him - shut the fuck up, Mitt! You're playing his game.
Yes, and he has proven over the past several months that he is very good at it. Rosie O'Donnell, Megan Kelly, Hillary Clinton all ended up wishing they hadn't picked fights with him. The latest is Ted Cruz who lost his temper yesterday in a most undignified manner after Trump compared his wife to Ted's in side by side photos. Ted and his wife both suffered badly from that comparison.
