[NY Post] Hillary Clinton continued sending classified information even after leaving the State Department, The Post has exclusively learned.
On May 28, 2013, months after stepping down as secretary of state, Clinton sent an email to a group of diplomats and top aides about the "123 Deal" with the United Arab Emirates.
But the email, which was obtained by the Republican National Committee through a Freedom of Information Act request, was heavily redacted upon its release by the State Department because it contains classified information.
The markings on the email state it will be declassified on May 28, 2033, and that information in the note is being redacted because it contains "information regarding foreign governors" and because it contains "Foreign relations or foreign activities of the United States, including confidential sources."
The email from Clinton was sent from the email account -- hrod17@clintonemail.com -- associated with her private email server.
The email’s recipients were Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, diplomat Jeffrey Feltman, policy aide Jake Sullivan, diplomat Kurt Campbell, State Department chief of staff Cheryl Mills, and Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
The "123 Deal" was a 2009 agreement between the United Arab Emirates and the US on materials and technological sharing for nuclear energy production.
"Hillary Clinton's mishandling of classified information was so pervasive, it continued after she left government," Republican National Committee research director Raj Shah told The Post. "She clearly can't be trusted with our nation's security."
Clinton is believed to have sent 2,101 emails that contained at least some classified information.
The Trump campaign said the latest revelation about Clinton's email habits is more proof she can’t be trusted with national security.
"Hillary Clinton's secret server jeopardized our national security and sensitive diplomatic efforts on more than 2,000 occasions, and shockingly, it now appears her reckless conduct continued even after leaving the State Department. Hillary Clinton’s terrible judgment shows she cannot be trusted with our national security," said Jason Miller, Trump's senior communications advisor, in a statement.

Wait. After she became a private citizen she mailed classified? Please tell me how this doesn't get prosecuted. Are we at a point where even so clear a crime isn't prosecuted when a powerful political aristocrat does it? If so, we are truly slipping into chaos and the prospect of a possible civil war.

The gov't (DoJ and FBI) likely know much, much more about the mechanics of HRC classified emails than they are making public.
Someone had to pull these document from SIPR or JWICS, delete the classification markings, and forward them on to HRC over an UNCLAS box. Finding that someone, should be a relatively easy process. For a place to start, simply check the to and from line.
Oftentimes, much can be learned from what is NOT being said. In this case, literally no one is broaching the subject of how HRC communicated with Obama. If Obama had knowledge of her server and communicated with her over it, he was an accessory to a criminal act. This may be the reason no one is taking action.
Presidential legacy appears to have some importance to him. A criminal legacy, possibly not so much. The future re-naming of streets, cities, and towns hangs in the ballance.

Huma popped right out. She'll be able to run things.

I'd like to see Trump, Holtz, and Bobby Knight visit some high school basketball and football practices, do some 'one-on-one' throw a few passes, etc.

I don't think she fell, I think her hips and knees are so bad she has to butt-scoot out of the vehicle.
What caught my attention is how faint she looked after that very basic physical motion. It is subtle, but definitely the bug eye/deep inhale I make after maxing bench press.

I despise that bitch, but she didn't "nearly fall". We don't need our side crying wolf. Let's stick to the facts--its not as if there are any shortage of them that put her in a bad light.
#7
I'm with Crusader. This was not a fall or even a near fall. Take it from an old guy, old people get stiff and sore sometimes especially after sitting in a vehicle for a long period of time. Hillary does appear stiff and sore. She sat first on the seat and then eased herself carefully to the street. But it was not a fall.

I'm surprised there wasn't a squire like guy on his hands and knees so she could step out onto him.
[FORBES] The first thing I noticed about Mr. Trump was that he was a stickler for detail. As a politician, he may affect a breezy platform style, but in the office, he was all business. Right off the bat, he corrected my team’s estimates of future financing requirements. He must have phoned an expert minutes before the meeting, because he said that by the latest market information he had, our current interest rates were off by 0.1%.
That was for openers. He went through every element of our proposal with a gimlet eye, challenging our assumptions, forecasts and business models with an exactitude and a level of expertise that was most impressive. It was as if he had a Wharton business professor whispering in his ear.
He wasted no time on civilities. He was brusque, impatient and dismissive of any information that he thought was inadequate, or any detail that he thought did not bear directly on the matter at hand. He cut right to the heart of things.
The senior members of my negotiating team were the products of privilege and Ivy League schools, and were highly successful executives in their own right. They were not used to this kind of treatment.
But for my own part, I had not only been an attack flight officer in the first Gulf war, I had also driven a truck through some of New York’s roughest neighborhoods. So I took it all in stride. Mr. Trump is a New Yorker, I reasoned. Fine. So am I. We can speak the same language--even if that language is rather coarse to some ears. We understand each other.
In the end, I can say that Mr. Trump drove a hard bargain. But he was honest, and he was a square dealer. When we were through--in less time than we had expected--we had reached an agreement that was ethical, profitable and fair to all parties concerned. It was also an agreement that meant good jobs for working people and healthy tax revenues for the local government.
If we didn’t come away from the table liking Mr. Trump, there’s no question that we came away with a lot of respect for him. He was a tough, shrewd, no-nonsense executive who knew how to get things done, and done quickly. He was also an adversary whom no one would want to mess with.
Isn’t that what really matters in a president?
I don’t know when his detractors decided that Donald Trump is the only candidate for president who never went to finishing school.
Some of our most effective presidents were, to put it mildly, rather rough-hewn. Some were shameless womanizers. Some bullied subordinates. Some of them used salty language. Some of them had thin skins and hair-trigger tempers.
Harry Truman, for example, was notorious not only for profanity, but for threatening to black the eyes of a music critic who found fault with his daughter’s singing. Lyndon Johnson and Abraham Lincoln were country boys who sometimes indulged in barnyard humor. Grover Cleveland avoided military service during the Civil War. Andrew Jackson once killed a man in a duel. Who cares about any of that today?
What we need in the White House--and need desperately--is someone who can cut through the Washington gridlock and get things done. Based on my own head-to-head experience with him, I know that Donald Trump has what it takes to do that--and more. He’s a tough man who can fill the toughest job in the world.

In other words, you had real life experience outside the privileged cosmopolitan cocoon that his detractors swam in most of their lives.
He wasted no time on civilities. He was brusque, impatient and dismissive of any information that he thought was inadequate, or any detail that he thought did not bear directly on the matter at hand. He cut right to the heart of things.
Having a tough but fair and competent CO makes you appreciate that life's experience.

I'm thinking trump hit it over the wall with bases loaded. 1. He once again, much to the chagrin of the MSM pundits, captured the news cycle, 2. He looks presidential, 3. He went to Mexico to meet with the President (both Hillary and Trump were invited but only Trump accepted the invitation), 4. He met with the president of Mexico presumably to explore mutual interests and negotiate (should he become president) just prior to giving a major speech on immigration tonight in Phoenix and 5. He gives the impression he is capable and willing to work hard on behalf of the American people.

Here's what Hillary had to say. Hillary Clinton today used her first public event in nearly a week to bash Donald Trump for “dropping in” on Mexico, saying building relationships takes more than “a photo op.”
"You don't build a coalition by insulting our friends or acting like a loose cannon. You do it by putting in the slow, hard work of building relationships," the Democratic presidential nominee and former secretary of state said during remarks at the American Legion's national convention in Cincinnati, referring to her Republican opponent.
"Getting countries working together was my job every day as your secretary of state. It's more than a photo op. It takes consistency and reliability. Actually, it's just like building personal relationships. People have got to know that they can count on you, that you won't say one thing one day and something totally different the next.

[AP] President Barack Obama cut short on Tuesday the sentences of 111 federal inmates in another round of commutations for those convicted of nonviolent drug offenses.
Obama has long called for phasing out strict sentences for drug convictions, arguing they lead to excessive punishment and incarceration rates unseen in other developed countries.
White House Counsel Neil Eggleston said the commutations underscored the president's commitment to using his clemency authority to give deserving individuals a second chance. He said that Obama has granted a total of 673 commutations, more than the previous 10 presidents combined. More than a third of the recipients were serving life sentences.
"We must remember that these are individuals -- sons, daughters, parents, and in many cases, grandparents -- who have taken steps toward rehabilitation and who have earned their second chance," Eggleston said. "They are individuals who received unduly harsh sentences under outdated laws for committing largely nonviolent drug crimes."

No biggie, just shoring up the gang vote heading into the election.

Has anyone had the balls to do a demographic analysis of the pardons and commutations to date?
Perhaps a look at the comparison of white versus people of color will be interesting?
#4
The last commutee released into our area was Cuban...a dealer of the finest Mexican poisons. We clearly need more folks smoking dope...tripping out, stripping naked, jumping through windows, jumping off bridges, stealing to buy the dope...nothing violent about any of this. Obama knows better than all of us...going against the peoples' will, sending the killers out of GTMO and the Federal prisons...
#5
As a general rule, you don't go to federal prison unless you were very naughty. I'd bet money a lot of these "non-violent drug offenses" were bargained down from something a whole lot worse.
I feel so much more assured...not.
[WashingtonExaminer] Even before the FBI identified new cyber attacks on two separate state election boards, the Department of Homeland Security began considering declaring the election a "critical infrastructure," giving it the same control over security it has over Wall Street and and the electric power grid.
The latest admissions of attacks could speed up that effort possibly including the upcoming presidential election, according to officials.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson also said that the big issue at hand is that there isn't a central election system since the states run elections. "There's no one federal election system. There are some 9,000 jurisdictions involved in the election process," Johnson said.
That would make it a lot harder to take over, especially if more than half the governors are uninterested.

#4 It all boils down to whether you trust the United States Govt. Well, do you?
Homeland Security -- secure the vote (sarc, for whom?)
US Fish and Wildlife Service -- Gibson Guitar
ATF -- Fast and Furious
IRS -- Targeting conservative groups and weaponizing the government
DOS -- Benghazi
FBI -- HildaGate
DOJ -- Going after police departments, W. Clinton meeting with Lynch
I'm not even sure where using the MSM for Donk propaganda fits in to the bureaucracy structure.

Honestly, I think the door to voter fraud was opened wide when the Dems pushed it years ago across the country as a way to expand their inner city voter fraud practices into the burbs. That Vlad or the Guangzou unit or some Iranian Quds force hacker would play bean counter to mess with the election is now a very high risk threat. BUT, even if DHS actually did an honest job of protecting the fairness of the elections (a dubious assumption in my opinion) after DoJ Fast and Furious, the IRS scandals, DoS Benghazi, DoJ non prosecution of Hilda, the EPA lies, the FBI loosing Mateens wife, I honestly think that no matter what happens this is another nail in the coffin of the peoples growing utter mistrust of their federal government. The schism of inner city takers and suburb/rural makers, layered on black/brown vs white racial mistrust and agitated BLM rioting is growing at geometric rates, and this will only add to that if it happens. If Champ tries to pull something like a postponement of the election or "investigation" into the outcome and remain in office, there will be hell to pay like we haven't seen since 1861...
#9
I don't trust the DHS to take charge of elections. At least with a decentralized system of voting as we now have under control of the states, voter fraud is somewhat localized and harder to pull off. Moreover, less damage can be done under a decentralized set up. A centralized system of voting under the control of the Federal government will make it much easier to carry on large scale voter fraud and create havoc. I'd say hell no.

Well I duuno. The 'pilot program' went reasonable well.
