[FOX] Fox News has confirmed that the FBI has interviewed Huma Abedin, top aide to Hillary Clinton, as part of its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email and whether classified information was willfully transmitted on her unsecured network. The FBI may also have interviewed other current and former Clinton staffers. This suggests the case may be approaching a conclusion. Clinton, herself, could be interviewed very soon.
Abedin is a valued source of information because she apparently used an email on Clinton’s private system. She may have voiced concerns about whether the server was violating the law or, equally important, discussed how the law could be circumvented.
She and other staffers were surely questioned about the 2,200 classified communications contained on the server, including the 22 documents that were "top secret". How did they end up on the unauthorized system? Did the aides have clearance to read them? Didn’t they know they were classified? Were classified markings erased? Who decided to delete thousands of emails which were government property? Who ordered the server to be "wiped clean"? Depending on the answers to these crucial questions, the aides could find themselves in legal jeopardy. So could Hillary Clinton.
One way to get Hilarity is to get the underlings. Huma is supposed to be "like a daughter" to her. Good. Let's see how long she stands by her "daughter" after Huma is indicted.

Many of the younger ones, like humma (OK, I know she is not that young) convinced themselves the game would go on forever. Some of them will decide they have too many years ahead of them to take a chance on prison or permanent banishment from the only job they know. Some will spill like a busted dam if the pressure gets to them.

Gary Johnson was just a businessman who entered the state's governor's race among the usual long time and uninspiring Trunk party hacks. He won the nomination. He then face the long established incumbent Governor King (D), beating him as well. He went on for two term. Left the state with a surplus which was immediately wiped out by his successor Bill Richardson (D). Since then he's taken a turn to the definite strange.
[Breitbart] New York City mayor Bill de Blasio says the federal government is not helping Puerto Rico with its debt delinquency because the U.S. territory is populated by "people of color."
The New York Post reports that de Blasio made this accusation while speaking at Al Sharpton’s activism org, the National Action Network.
"The backs of the United States government turned on them, while a health-care crisis grows, a humanitarian crisis grows, the Zika crisis grows," he said in a speech at the National Action Network in Harlem.
"By the way, brothers and sisters, do you think by any chance it could be because they’re people of color?"
Puerto Rico defaulted on a nine-figure debt payment this past Monday. According to Bloomberg, hedge funds hold $15 billion of the Caribbean island’s debts. De Blasio is putting pressure on Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan to let the territory declare bankruptcy. As reported by Crain’s New York:

Nope. You've got the cart before the horse. IIRC when bailout talks were running for NTC back in the Seventies, the NY Post ran a front page with the (Ford) administration's position - Drop Dead. Is Mr de Blasio implying only some white people grasp fiscal responsibility?

This is a good example of how bad ideas get implanted, then grow like cancer.
Affirmative action was sold as a way to right past wrongs. Once that idea took hold, we moved on to white privilege. Now whites can be asked to endure anything, and everyone else gets a free pass on everything. Not even slavery was so insidious.

Arithmetic be white.
I'm pretty sure it's Arabic.

Ummm...I believe it was a strategic economic policy proposed by Johnson's Council of Economic Advisors to boost the income of the tax paying classes faster than generational population growth.
[BLOGS.WSJ] Sen. John McCain said he will back Donald Trump in the general election despite misgivings over his candidacy, sticking to his promise to back the Republican Party’s presidential nominee and urging other party leaders to get on board.
“You have to listen to people who have chosen the nominee of our Republican party,” Mr. McCain said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I think it would be foolish to ignore them.”
House Speaker Paul Ryan and other Republican party leaders have said they’re unready or unwilling to back Mr. Trump over concerns about his principles or temperament.
But the Arizona Senator and 2008 presidential nominee said Republican leadership should pay attention to the blocs that have given rise to Mr. Trump and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a longtime independent who is running in the Democratic primary.

my goodness. the private internal poll numbers must be interesting

Be pretty hypocritical of him to do otherwise, given how he was crammed down GOPers throats by the establishment, when it was "his turn".
He's blowing senate race any way, may as well tie onto the boat anchor so he can blame his loss on Trump's landslide loss instead of himself. Unless Hillary gets indicted somehow.

Nyguard,
You can say that again. Friday McCain was in full rant about the damage Trump was going to do to him, and 72 hours later he says, "Nah, just kidding." Interesting times...

So all this time I've been assuming that Trump supporters were mistaking him for a blank slate and simply projecting their wish list onto someone who is in reality a lifelong liberal democrat.
Now I wonder if the real story is even more horrifying. Maybe the real Trump is exactly what these people want.

It took me a while to recognize Trump's presentation strategy as a caricature of white, middle-class values, but they speak strongly. I'm just afraid that a vote for Trump will not be a vote against Hilarity.

Look, my friends, if Trump gets through his first term and the economy is still in "recovery" and there has been no progress on the wall and terror attacks are still taking place in this country we must then reassess.
But at this point our choice is between Trump and Hildebeest. Before then we had a bunch of so-called conservatives who sounded a lot like Hildebeest. What do you want? Bush? Cruz? Reagan? Ain't gonna happen.

"What do you want? Bush? Cruz? Reagan? Ain't gonna happen."
I really want Reagan, but that definitely ain't gonna happen, #9 EU. :-(

Undead Zombie Reagan would rock. Talk about striking fear in the hearts of your enemies! Also, it would give the media something else to mock him for.

When you are morally gutless you are effectively rudderless so you go where ever the current steers you. Look at McCain, Huckabee, all the GOP talking heads and establishment types. Its no wonder the GOP never got anything done they didnt have anyone with the guts to do anything original against a life long liberal from Chicago and now they all fall in line for a born rich liberal lifelong democrat supporter from the north east.
at least the thinking elements of the former GOP now know who is truly spineless
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State... took a shot at Donald Trump during his Friday commencement speech at Northeastern University, by saying no wall is big enough to keep dangerous forces of Evil out of the United States.
"Many of you were in elementary school when you learned the toughest lesson of all on 9/11," he said. "There are no walls big enough to stop people from anywhere, tens of thousands of miles away, who are determined to take their own lives while they target others."
"So I think that everything that we've lived and learn tells us that we will never come out on top if we accept advice from sound-bite salesmen and carnival barkers who pretend the most powerful country on Earth can remain great by looking inward," Kerry added. "And hiding behind walls at a time that technology has made that impossible to do and unwise to even attempt."
He says this as armed soldiers roll out razor wire along borders across Europe. Truly a classic John F. Kerry display of "understanding".

Does John's home still have a front door? How about a front gate to his estate?

Its obvious that I hate Trump more than most anyone here, but even I know this is simply idiotic, and its one of the few things I do like about him, although he is off in lala land when it comes to funding it.
The taxpayer savings realized from the reduction of alien free-loaders to the medical system, care & feeding, housing, education system, law enforcement, and criminal justice system will pay for the wall in no time.

Don't forget foreign aid to Mexico. IIRC, last time I looked it was $500 million a year. So if the wall costs $10 billion you build $500 million worth every year until it's done. But I thought Trump's remittances plan was pretty cool too.
When you look outward and see millions upon millions of Third World types trying to get into your country, you build a wall. If you want to keep looking outward you get a ladder so you can look over the wall.
I don't get it. I don't think Kerry is making any sense at all. But what is most disturbing is that a lot if not all of those graduates probably sat there listening to him without questioning any of it.

OK. But I think the biggest question is who will govern this new borderless world and what kind of government will it be? Just thinking about it kinda makes me shudder.
