[PJ Media] BLUF: "Can you guys believe what you just heard?" an incensed Scarborough asked his panel after playing the clip. "He said he wasn’t going to talk to his attorney general about the pending investigation, but he just did. As he did back in October when he said, 'No national security issues here, nothing to see, move along.'
If he kills the email investigation, he's essentially killed the Benghazi investigation as well. In Obamalogic, a two-fer. He covers for her now, she covers for him later. It's the Chicago way.

But the voters who support real hope and change (Trump and/or Cruz) do care.
Unfortunately, there are not enough of them to make me care.

Those doing the investigations should implement a copy/everything policy so the investigation can be started again a year from now despite any 'accidental' destruction of data.

She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy.
There it is folks - intent. As this investigation concludes look for the Clinton rope-a-dope to casually insert simmilar terms such as - knowingly. With nearly 150 gum shoes on the trail somebody's gonna get clipped. Whether the Queen gets charged will most likely boil down to intent.

Then release everything and explain why every other government agency pays so much money for encryption and special servers and stuff. If that's not necessary I think graft and corruption charges should be instituted forthwith.

It would seem the term "classified" is a generic designation for all sensitive information. And as what's known, information with the highest classifications passed through Clinton's private server. The WH is content with using vague terminology as a foil to deeper inquiry. Not unlike Obama's practice of juxtaposing the term "rules" with "laws" multiple times in the course of a simple short statement.
[Breitbart] The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), the organization that represents nearly 17,000 of the Border Patrol agents who risk their lives to secure U.S. borders, is challenging the Colorado GOP for not holding a state primary and instead slating delegates mostly favorable to Trump’s rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

Colorado's rules were set months and months ago and they were openly available to the candidates. The rules were designed to screw both Trump and Cruz but the establishment folks dropped out. Cruz's guys saw the opportunity, Trumps guys did not.
[Breitbart] Ted Cruz told a local radio show in California on Monday morning that the Drudge Report, the most popular conservative news website, has "become the attack site for the Donald Trump campaign."
Cruz was interview on The Mike Slater Show on KFMB 760 AM. Host Mike Slater asked Cruz (15:16), "What do you think of Drudge Report lately? Not even about Trump, but their anti-Christian headlines?"
Cruz responded:
Look, Drudge Report over the years has done a good job highlighting the excesses of the left and the excesses of liberalism, and about the past month the Drudge Report has basically become the attack site for the Donald Trump campaign. And so every day they have the latest Trump attack. They’re directed at me. It -- by all appearances, Roger Stone now decides what’s on Drudge, and most days they have a six-month-old article that is some attack on me, and it’s -- whatever the Trump campaign is pushing that day will be the banner headline on Drudge.
By the way, they no longer cover news. Remember they used to have things like election results? They don’t put those on Drudge anymore. When we win a state, suddenly the state doesn’t matter. You know Colorado -- there was no red siren on Drudge when we won all 34 delegates in Colorado. That wasn’t news, because -- I mean listen, that’s fine. If people want to get on the "Trump train," they can. I actually think we need real and meaningful solutions to the problems in this country, and as president my focus is going to be on three things: jobs, freedom and security.
My number one priority is bringing jobs back to America, raising wages for everyone, making it easier for people struggling to achieve the American Dream. That’s my focus. I’m going to let others worry about the silly political game and the circus.

So obvious now. Then his RINO's will turn once Trump is out of play. I don't believe however that Trump will go silently into the night. Much can happen yet.

..never was. Then again, never was Romney. Bush II would classify as a classical liberal (ie Kennedy-Humphrey). Didn't stop the party apparatchiks from putting them on the ballot. They were one of them.
Did the GOP secure the border with control of the White House and Congress? NO.
Did the GOP balance the budget with control of the White House and Congress? NO.
Who gave us the TSA? The GOP
Who gave us the Patriot Act? The GOP
Who expanded Medicare to include prescription drug coverage? The GOP
Who created the precursor of Common Core in Race To the Top? The GOP
Who played the race card in Mississippi to re-elect Thad Cochran? The GOP
Who paid Democrats to vote in the Mississippi primary? The GOP
Who refused to support Ken Cuccinnelli in Virginia? The GOP
Who supported Charlie Crist? The GOP
Who supported Arlen Spector? The GOP

GOP do anything about the corrupt IRS ?
GOP do anything about Fast & Furious ?
Anything come of the Benghazi hearings ?
GOP demanding a special prosecutor for emails ?
Performance of Turkey as a NATO member ?
Migration of GITMO inmates ?
Champ's Syrian bombing campaign ?
Number of boots and contractors in Iraq ?
The Kurds ?
Party affiliation is a figment of the imagination designed to entertain the proles and permit them to feel empowered. Once inside 495 it's the beltway party. Been that way for quite a while now.
#7
Hillary Clinton is probably more popular with the Beltway GOP than is Ted Cruz. It wasn't that long ago Lindsey Graham was joking about shooting Cruz dead on the Senate floor. Love him or hate him, but don't call him establishment.
#8
I don't think Cruz is a Rino but this nonsense makes him sound like a whiner and despite the most recent example that is generally not seen as Presidential.
#9
These days terms like "conservative" don't seem to mean what they used to mean.
I used to think a conservative would be careful not to squander money, promote traditional family values and national security. But then, to me anyway, national security encompasses secure borders. So you have guys like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio calling themselves conservative and denouncing Trump for not being conservative while claiming that illegal immigration is an act of love. Well, Trump may be a bit liberal on some of the social issues that conservatives hold dear. But ships like ObamaCare, abortion and gay marriage have already sailed with no less than a SCOTUS Chief Justice appointed by George W Bush. Now we have a Congress where the majority consists of so called conservatives and yet the federal debt is upwards of $20 trillion. And if we don't secure the border nothing else will matter because the people sneaking across it will vote Democrat and together with our own native liberals they will completely overwhelm conservative voters, no matter how that term is defined.
#10

It's not as if Trump exactly looks presidential when he complains about Cruz either. Or the dozens of other non-presidential things he says during the week.
#12
Cruz was asked and responded to a specific question regarding Drudge's website. Some may not agree with his assesment. Others may veiw this as another politicians tedious rant against the media. But seeing as how Drudge, as of late, has highlighted frauds like Coulter, Palin, and Savage he may have a valid point.
#15
Everyone one of us is a RINO, Since there is No central authority granting us a Pearl Schine as a passed conservative, suggest we drop the term and concentrate on what we have in common.
#16
I think you guys have gotten stuck on stupid when it comes to Cruz vs Trump. Drudge has obviously become Trumpkin, as has Breitbart, Coulter, etc. Facts are what they are. You guys seem to be drinking the koolaide. When will you wake up?
#17
Explain this: What is Trumps tax plan? Here is Cruz:
Tell me whats not conservative about that? This is how he plans to add jobs, not like Obama as you falsely claim. He wants to cut the size and scope of government. What do you not get about that? How is that "establishment"?
You might want to reexamine your thinking, and get the facts, since you've been drinking from polluted sources like Drudge. Or Conservativtreehouse, or gatewaypundit.
#18
He's back. Cite one abc agency or department guaranteed to be closed and not just reduces and moved under another department to grow later. Cause in the end, they can't help themselves.
[DAWN] President Barack Obama If you have a small business, you didn't build that... says the biggest mistake of his presidency was a lack of planning for the aftermath of the fall of late Libyan leader Moamer Qadaffy, with the country spiralling into chaos and grappling with violent holy warriors.
Asked in a Fox News interview aired Sunday to name the "worst mistake" of his presidency, the US leader said it was "probably failing to plan for the day after what I think was the right thing to do in intervening in Libya."
Obama has repeatedly acknowledged that the United States and its allies could have done more to prevent Libya's descent into chaos following the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and organization.... -backed uprising that led to Qadaffy's ouster and killing in 2011.
He expressed regret over the handling of the aftermath in a lengthy interview with The Atlantic magazine last month, calling the situation in Libya "a mess."
Obama also sharply criticised British Prime Minister David Cameron ... has stated that he is certainly a big Thatcher fan, but I don't know whether that makes me a Thatcherite, which means he's not. Since he is not deeply ideological he lacks core principles and is easily led. He has been described as certainly not a Pitt, Elder or Younger, but he does wear a nice suit so maybe he's Beau Brummel ... and former French leader Nicolas Sarkozy ...23rd President of the French Republic. Sarkozy is married to singer-songwriter Carla Bruni, who has a really nice birthday suit... for their roles in the Libya campaign, saying in particular that Cameron became "distracted".
Since Qadaffy's death, Libya has descended into near-anarchy, ruled by rival militias vying for power while the krazed killerIslamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (IS) group has gained influence in the country.
The head of a UN-backed unity government arrived earlier this month in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... to begin garnering support for his administration.
Asked by Fox News to name the worst moment of his White House tenure, the president said it was the day he traveled to Newtown, Connecticut, after a gunman shot 20 young children and six adult staff members at an elementary school in December 2012.
And his biggest accomplishment? "Saving the economy from a great depression."
And his best day in the White House? "The day that we passed health care reform," Obama said.
"We sat out on the Truman Balcony with all the staff that had worked so hard on it and I knew what it would mean for the families that I'd met who didn't have health care."

Your worst mistake was running for President and not knowing anything to start with but marxist and islamiist drivel.

...probably failing to plan for the day after...
Why would the administration need a day-after plan for what they called at the time - a "limited humanitarian mission"? Gosh, do ya think regime change in Libya was their goal all along?
[Federalist] When John Kerry toured the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and Museum this week before meeting foreign ministers at the G-7 Summit, Reuters reports that he had witnessed "haunting displays [of] photographs of badly burned victims, the tattered and stained clothes they wore and statues depicting them with flesh melting from their limbs."
"It is a stunning display. It is a gut-wrenching display," explained Kerry. "It is a reminder of the depth of the obligation every one of us in public life carries ... to create and pursue a world free from nuclear weapons."
Iran exempted, of course.
But, really, is this the lesson of Hiroshima? That those in public life have an obligation to do away with nuclear weapons? A lot of people might argue that existence of those weapons have saved lives from broader world conflicts and conventional warfare. That includes ending the Second World War sooner.
Yesterday, The Washington Post dutifully reported that, "In Hiroshima, Kerry won’t apologize for atomic bombs dropped on Japan." Technically, he didn't. What we witnessed was one of the administration's inverted non-apology apologies.
Barack Obama will also travel to Japan next month for the G-7. There's a lot of speculation he will visit Hiroshima and offer some sort of apology. (If we're to believe WikiLeaks, U.S. officials have been toying with the idea of having Obama say sorry for Hiroshima for a while now. And it comports well with his history.)

The 20 or so million Japanese not killed because of the shortening of the war (and their subsequent decedents) were not available for comment, apparently.

..they also got to skip the division of their country German-style for generations.

The Japanese bombarded a federal military installation and reaped the consequences. I recall some Southerners likewise bombarded a federal military installation nearly 80 years prior and suffered a similar fate. A lot of Japanese cities looked a lot like Charleston after Sherman got done with it. So, is Obama going to go to Richmond and apologize?
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
