Selected Excerpt: [PJ] Now we find out that 1,000 emails between Clinton and General Petraeus were not turned over. This should be a bigger story. Petraeus started out as the leader of U.S. Central Command and then became the director of the CIA during Clinton's tenure as secretary of State, so not only were those emails obviously work related, they very likely were highly classified. The implications here are staggering.
Thinking at the time that it was utterly inconceivable that a man of the stature and professionalism of General Patraeus would store 'classified documents' at his private residence, I've often wondered about the content of the alleged classified documents which he later shared with biographer Paula Broadwell.
As best I can determine from the timeline, Law Enforcement's awareness of the Petraeus hidden documents surfaced only after his sharing them with Broadwell. And as we know, she too likes to share. Oh well, probably little more than a coincidence, for those who believe in coincidences.
Do the Periwinkle cups match the saucers? Could the documents kept by Petraeus possibly have been copies of the 'homebrew server' emails to and from HRC? Did Petreaus retain copies as insurance ?
Among the secret information contained in the "black books" were the names of covert operatives, the coalition war strategy and notes about Petraeus' discussions with President Barack Obama and the National Security Council, prosecutors said. Link
Interesting to note, the Secretary of State is near the very top of the National Security Council food chain. As I recall, some of the emails deemed classified in the HRC communiques also contained names of alledged 'operatives.'

I recall that HRC severely criticized Petraeus in a Senate hearing. She said at the time: “The reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief.” About this time, MoveOn.Org had an ad calling Petraeus, General "Betray Us" which Hillary did not renounce as did many other Donks. So they (Hillary & Petraeus) later got chummy, kissed and made up and destroyed emails together. Somehow, I don't think these emails discussed yoga, grandchildren, weddings, etc. Are these emails captured by NSA?

JohnQC: why do you think Champ and his team made sure Petraeus was prosecuted and then "let off"? He's not going to say anything, anything at all today, because he knows what will happen if he does.

The attack on Benghazi too place on 9/11/2012. Due to his affair with Broadwell, Petraeus was relived as DCI on 11/09/2012, less than 90 days after Benghazi.
Following the revelations about her relationship with Petraeus, Broadwell has retained the services of former Clinton Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers with the public relations firm The Glover Park Group. The founders of The Glover Park Group have previously served as officials in the Clinton White House and on the presidential campaign of former vice president Al Gore. The firm's services include public relations, advertising, marketing, government relations and policy counsel, crisis management and opinion research. Link
Out of the scores of legal and PR groups in D.C., Broadwell stumbled upon Clinton action agents at 'The Glover Park Group.' Interesting PR/laundry team choice I'd say.
[WND] NEW YORK ‐ FBI Director James Comey has a long history of involvement in Department of Justice actions that arguably ended up favorable to the Clintons.
In 2004, Comey, then serving as a deputy attorney general in the Justice Department, apparently limited the scope of the criminal investigation of Sandy Berger, which left out former Clinton administration officials who may have coordinated with Berger in his removal and destruction of classified records from the National Archives. The documents were relevant to accusations that the Clinton administration was negligent in the build-up to the 9/11 terrorist attack.
On Tuesday, Comey announced that despite evidence of "extreme negligence by Hillary Clinton and her top aides regarding the handling of classified information through a private email server, the FBI would not refer criminal charges to Attorney General Loretta Lynch and the Justice Department.
Curiously, Berger, Lynch and Cheryl Mills all worked as partners in the Washington law firm Hogan & Hartson, which prepared tax returns for the Clintons and did patent work for a software firm that played a role in the private email server Hillary Clinton used when she was secretary of state.

For entertainment today we have James Comey testifying before the House Oversight Committee at 9:00 a.m. on CSPAN--a little Kabuki theater for your enjoyment.
#2
The House Oversight Committee should order Comey to preserve all documents pertaining to the Clinton Investigations. In the event Trump is elected President he may decide to prosecute Clinton and her staff, and maybe Comey too.
#3
Wonder of wonders, we now learn that post immunity search of Cheryl Mills computer found classified information. I wonder if some of the sleuths at the Feckless Blockhead Institution have though to compare texts with the Hildabeest emails?
The level of utter corruption of the most fundamental issues of trust in our national institutions is toxic. Public outrage is muted by cluelessness of the vast majority and disinterest by the media elites who have seats on the imperial councils of allies. God save the Republic......

Well Grom, the Donks are trying to make a case for that. They claim Carter Page was directed to go to Russia to negotiate backdoor deals with Russia which violates the Logan Act. They are displaying self-righteous indignation. KellyAnne Conway claims Page is not a part of Trump's campaign staff. It is all bullllshhitt. ,the Donks are getting desperate with the possibility the Clinton crime syndicate may come toppling down--should have happened long ago.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] It’s easy to feel lost in a nation of 320 million. But it’s the strength and glory of the American way that the least among us has a say, no smaller and no bigger than anyone else, with a vote on Election Day. The stakes for charting the future have rarely been higher, as the face-off between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on Monday night demonstrated. Vote fraud dilutes the value of the ballots cast by the eligible, and that should disturb and anger us all. If elections aren’t fair, the democratic process is a sham.
Colorado has uncovered a “very serious” pattern of ballots filed by mail in the name of the dead. Mail-in balloting makes voting more convenient but early voting distorts the decision and risks making the result a fraud. Numbers of fraudulent votes cast are undetermined thus far, but officials in El Paso County, Colorado, acknowledge that an investigation by television reporters turned up legitimate examples of illegal activity.
“We do believe there were several instances of potential vote fraud that occurred,” says Colorado Secretary of State Wayne Williams. “It shows there is the potential for fraud.” County election officials say they removed the names of 448 dead people from voter rolls before the news report was aired, and found an additional 78 names while rechecking.
Illicit ballots — even if discovered at a tiny portion of the thousands of polling stations across the country — could add up to number large enough to alter an outcome. Researchers at Old Dominion University in Virginia, studying a sample portion of the 2010 voting in the midterm elections, estimated that 2.2 percent of ballots were cast by voters who are not citizens. With Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton running neck and neck nationwide, a single percentage point swing in key states could mean the difference between a President Clinton and a President Trump.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson vowed earlier this month to “leave no stone unturned” in protecting the security of the election process. We applaud his determination. The FBI says that hackers, likely from Russia, penetrated state election systems in Arizona and Illinois, but Mr. Johnson says his department has the resources to help election officials detect and halt cyber-attacks.
Threats to ballot integrity don’t all originate in faraway places, as Colorado’s graveyard electorate demonstrates, and the Homeland Security Department that promises to protect the process could have an unintended hand in subverting it. The department’s inspector general reported last week that 858 illegal immigrants should have been deported but were instead granted citizenship because officials failed to fingerprint them to detect their real identities. Only 2 of the 858 were prosecuted. “This situation created opportunities for individuals to gain the rights and privileges of U.S. citizenship through fraud,” says Inspector General John Roth.
One of the privileges of American citizenship is the right to vote. Whether illegal immigrants who were granted citizenship under false pretenses have yet cast ballots, or intend to in November, is not known, but guarantees of protecting ballot integrity by Jeh Johnson’s Homeland Security because someone “forgot” to check fingerprints are not altogether reassuring. It’s not unreasonable to wonder what other surprises lie ahead. Americans go to the polls in six weeks. A fair outcome should be underpinned by more than hope.

the Homeland Security Department that promises to protect the process Fox-henhouse parable. Why does this give me an uneasy feeling?
#2
DOJ has been politicized corrupted by the Clintons. The only saving grace about DHS is that it displays some incompetence; otherwise it is probably in the tank too.
Rumsfeld: But he’s up in years, and he obviously comes from a totally different
cut than Donald Trump. He gets his choice and if that’s true, he’s made his choice,
then that’s fine, he can go do what he wants to do.

from TFA: Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
That just cracks me up. Go, HuffPo! Get them licks in, just in case anyone forgot TrumpHitler really *is* Hitler.

It's not at all unusual for the RINO wing of the party to vote Democrat when they don't get their way. The irony is that Trump now *is* the establishment, and a lifelong Democrat himself. Guess pouty children don't see any need for consistency.

I spotted another Huffpo article that claimed Trump's 13 racist statements / incidents. It is amazing how watered down the definition of 'racism' is to those on the left, since that's the only card they're able to play, debate and refutation of policy positions being completely beyond them.
[UPI] FBI Director James Comey told U.S. Senators on Tuesday that intelligence and law enforcement agencies are concerned a "terrorist diaspora" will occur globally in a few years after the Islamic 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.... loses control.
Comey testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on global terror threats 15 years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. But who can believe a word he sez? If he says it's raining, stick your hand outside-- if you give it that much credence.
"The so-called caliphate will be crushed," he said, referring to the bully boy group also identified as ISIS, ISIS and ISIS. "The challenge will be: Through the fingers of that crush are going to come hundreds of very, very dangerous people. They will not all die on the battlefield in Syria and Iraq. There will be a terrorist diaspora sometime in the next two to five years like we've never seen before."

Comey says Terrorist diaspora after they are crushed? What do we have now? So they wouldn't really be crushed then? What the hell are you talking about?

FBI Director James Comey told U.S. Senators on Tuesday that..... Honorable Senator, clearly the FBI needs more funds to tell you why that guy just shot up and killed - fill in the blank - and why our three (or more) previous investigations of him didn't prevent it...and why we suppressed evidence collected by the local police where the bad guy told us he was "triggered" by drone strikes, or BLM stuff...and why our agents won't stay deployed downrange to investigate this stuff after the sexy wears off... "insert squirrel here" But, we will use them to enforce Future President Hillary's demands that we Feds train the poor hapless inherently biased local law enforcement fools on diversity.

One must keep in mind that what the New Class treasures most of all is stability. Hence the toleration of 'acceptable losses' and the diminuation of large losses. Money and influence made in maintaining that stability are also motivators.
[UPI] One of the United States' top national security officials has decided to step down from his post next month and go into the private sector, the Justice Department said Tuesday.
John P. Carlin, the head of the department's National Security Division, will resign effective Oct. 16.
Carlin, 43, oversaw numerous prosecutions involving matters of national security, including that of 2013 Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. He also presided over espionage charges against Chinese military hackers.
"For the better part of two decades at the Department of Justice, John distinguished himself as a leader who skillfully used all the tools at his disposal to enhance our public safety and uphold our national security," U.S. Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch said in a statement Tuesday.

When Carlin [a tool of the Left] was named to "The new position at the Justice Department, dubbed the 'Domestic Terrorism Counsel,' [it was to] serve as the main point of contact for U.S. attorney offices nationwide...' ... Yet, as Leo Hohmann of World Net Daily writes, 'while the FBI has confirmed it has active ISIS investigations in all 50 states and Islamic-inspired attacks have occurred in recent years in Chattanooga, Tennessee; Garland, Texas, and Fort Hood, the Justice Department sees Islamic jihadists as no more dangerous than mentally ill actors such as Dylann Roof, the Charleston, South Carolina, church shooter who killed nine black Christians.' In fact, Hohmann notes, “Justice officials have indicated that home-grown ‘right wingers’ are possibly more numerous and dangerous than the jihadists. In announcing the new position, Carlin referred to a study by the [Soros-funded] New America Foundation that found nearly twice as many Americans have been killed by ‘right-wing’ extremists since Sept. 11 than by Islamic terrorists.”

Soros report? nearly twice as many Americans have been killed by ‘right-wing’ extremists since Sept. 11 than by Islamic terrorists.” He must be throwing in Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, etc. gang shootings and some traffic accidents as well. More bullshit spoutings from a very dangerous man, senile, evil, murderous, hateful of America.
