Comey’s first encounter with the Clinton’s was in 1996 when he:
served as deputy special counsel to the Senate special committee on the Whitewater investigation, chaired by Republicans at the time, which linked Hillary Clinton to the mishandling and destruction of documents."
Comey reportedly dug into:
allegations that the Clintons took part in a fraud connected to a Arkansas real estate venture gone bust. No charges were ever brought against either Clinton, but the scandal would eventually lead to independent counsel Kenneth Starr’s probe that would result in the Lewinsky scandal."
2nd Encounter
Comey next was involved with the Clintons when in the early 2000’s when he was:
involved at both ends of the case of Marc Rich, a billionaire oil trader indicted for tax fraud and trading with Iran during the hostage crisis, who was later pardoned by President Bill Clinton during his final day in office in 2001. In a letter to the Senate, Comey describes working as both the lead prosecutor in New York on the original case against Rich in 1983 and then later, in 2002, overseeing criminal investigations into Clinton’s last-minute pardons.
The investigations concluded there was no wrongdoing on the president’s part, despite public outcry over evidence that Rich’s ex-wife had donated to Hillary Clinton’s Senate campaign."
3rd Encounter
Comey’s third encounter with the Clintons came before the 2016 Presidential election. Hillary Clinton set up a private email server that she used when Secretary of State under the Obama Administration. Government employees are mandated to use government email accounts similar to employees in the private sector. Hillary allowed others on her team to use her private email system as well, including Huma Abedin, her assistant and close confidant.
Through a series of events Hillary’s email system was discovered and the FBI and Comey got involved. One question that needed to be answered was whether Hillary’s actions with her emails led to gross negligence with national defense information which would be a serious crime according to the Espionage Act of 1913.
Hillary went to great lengths to hide the fact that she was using a private email server and made many excuses which later turned out to be lies. For example, she claimed that she didn’t know a ’C’ on her emails meant classified. Unfortunately, her emails contained at least five different emails that contained information on the exact location or travel plans of US Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was murdered in Benghazi. His killers knew exactly where he was going to be when they got him.
Clinton’s team eventually deleted her emails and then cleaned her server with a program called ’Bleachbit’. They did this after these items were requested in subpoenas from Congress.
On June 27th Bill Clinton met with US Attorney General Loretta Lynch in her plane in Arizona for a half an hour. Comey never commented on this meeting but within a week Lynch’s Department of Justice dropped the investigation into Hillary’s emails and FBI’s Comey made the announcement. Comey’s statements were later compared to Hillary’s prior statements ‐

an illegally present Mexican national May 4 who is presently wanted for aggravated sexual abuse in Cook County, Illinois.
Gerardo Diaz-Rodriguez, a Mexican national who illegal re-entered the United States after being allowed to voluntarily depart the United States in lieu of formal removal in April 2003, was arrested by ICE deportation officers at his Clayton County residence during a targeted enforcement operation May 4 in concert with the U.S. Marshals Service Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force.
Mr. Diaz was previously arrested by Clayton County authorities April 20 on a misdemeanor charge under a fictitious name. Clayton County subsequently released him, but an ICE deportation officer who reviewed the record was able to determine the man arrested under a fictitious name was in fact Mr. Diaz and subject to an active warrant out of Cook County for aggravated sexual abuse.
Mr. Diaz was rebooked into the Clayton County jail following his May 4 capture. He is presently awaiting extradition to Cook County to face the aggravated criminal sexual abuse charge there.
Just doing the jobs Americans don't wanna do. No harm. No foul.

The best cure for that is to double the cost of housing in SanFran.

Be progressive (heh), force San Fran to provide substantive Section 8 housing for the 'poor' working class. Strike down their zoning regulations as racist and classist!
[CNN] Former CIA Director John Brennan told House Russia investigators Tuesday that Russia "brazenly interfered" in US elections, including actively contacting members of the President Donald Trump's campaign -- but he stopped shy of dubbing it "collusion."
"I saw interaction that in my mind raised questions of whether it was collusion," Brennan told Rep. Trey Gowdy, saying that he supported the FBI digging further. "It was necessary to pull threads."
Brennan was speaking to the House intelligence committee on the extent of Russia's meddling in the 2016 elections and possible ties to the Trump campaign, where he was asked about how Moscow recruits sources "wittingly and unwittingly."
"Frequently, people who go along a treasonous path do not know they are on a treasonous path until it is too late," Brennan said.
[Wash Times] Former President Barack Obama will leap back onto the world stage Thursday to join German Chancellor Angela Merkel at a forum at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
The event titled "Being Involved in Democracy: Taking on Responsibility Locally and Globally" puts Mr. Obama in the spotlight in Europe at the same time as President Trump, underscoring the dramatic shift in the U.S. in the last four months.
The forum is sponsored by the Obama Foundation.
Mr. Trump is traveling around the Middle East and Europe, visiting Saudi Arabia, Israel and Vatican City in Rome in an effort unite three world religions. He also will attend a NATO meeting in Brussels and G-7 summit in Sicily.
The forum in Berlin returns Mr. Obama to the Brandenburg Gate, which has been the site of pivotal speeches throughout history, including President John F. Kennedy declaring "Ich bin ein Berliner" and President Ronald Reagan declaring "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall."
Mr. Obama wanted to give a speech at the Brandenburg Gate during the 2008 presidential race but was blocked by Ms. Merkel because she didn’t think he should give a campaign speech at the nonpartisan landmark. He instead spoke at the nearby Victoria Column.

She really has no idea what looks good on her body, poor dear. She would do well to invest in the services of a stylist, even so bourgeois as using the free services provided by Macys and Nordstrom, rather than relying on the Talbot catalog and Good Housekeeping style advice.
[TheHill] The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) will lay out its own infrastructure proposal this week, staking out a position ahead of a legislative debate over transportation that is expected to heat up later this year. The left may have stumbled on a new buzzword.
The effort, spearheaded by Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), attempts to paint a clear contrast with President Trump’s infrastructure vision by calling for direct public investment in roads, bridges and other public works, as opposed to providing "corporate giveaways" to spur private-sector investment.
The proposal from Lieu would inject $2 trillion into a wide range of transportation projects over 10 years, including those that boost public transit systems, water and sewer systems, clean-energy jobs, high-speed internet access and veterans hospitals. Don't know the difference between transportation and infrastructure, do you? The initiative would create 2.5 million jobs in the first year, according to the group, and take extra steps to ensure fair wages, workplace safety and racial and gender equality.
For example, the white paper would raise the benchmark for locally prevailing wages in each area, require local hiring to reflect the racial and gender diversity of the community’s workforce, include robust "Buy America" requirements and prioritize the hiring of veterans.
The effort would be paid for by closing corporate tax loopholes and enacting other tax reforms.
"The American people deserve to have a serious conversation about how to address these needs. To fund infrastructure projects, President Trump's relatively small and incoherent plan would use irresponsible tax gimmicks that benefit Wall Street at the expense of taxpayers," Lieu said in a statement. While raising corporate taxes (which aren't paid for by the consumer?) and "other tax reforms" is all free money, right, Mr. Congressman?

"That benefit Wall Street at the expense of taxpayers" I bet a number of Democrats have a macro for that line.

Infrastructure spending by the progressives was never about infrastructure; it was a way to launder money and create slush funds and continue on under Hillary.
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.
The initiative would create 2.5 million jobs in the first year, according to the group, and take extra steps to ensure fair wages, workplace safety and racial and gender equality.
