[New York Post] PHILADELPHIA -- FBI Director James Comey abruptly announced Sunday that a review of newly discovered emails sent or received by Hillary Clinton has not changed his conclusion that the Democrat should not face criminal charges. His announcement came in a letter to congressional lawmakers two days before Election Day.
Comey said the FBI has worked "around the clock to process and review a large number of emails" obtained from a device belonging to Anthony Weiner, the disgraced former congressman and estranged husband of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin. He said the review has not changed the bureau’s assessment from earlier this year that Clinton should not be prosecuted for her handling of classified information at the State Department.
The new review has roiled the presidential campaign in its final days, shattering what had appeared to be Clinton’s solid grip on the race and emboldening Republican Donald Trump. During a campaign stop earlier Sunday, Trump warned that Clinton would be under investigation as president, prompting an "unprecedented constitutional crisis."

Unfortunately for Clinton, Comey's new letter only makes him look MORE guilty of protecting Hillary. If there's justice and he hangs for his treason, I hope instead of being offered a last chance to speak, the hangman simply says, "What difference will it make?" and yanks the lever.

Comey escorted the Clinton's attorney, Mr. Kobayashi, somewhat brusquely to the front door and saw him out. Kobayashi ambled to the end of the block and disappeared around the corner.
The good Director slammed the door and stared at it for a moment. He knew what was in the manila envelope on the dining room table behind him. He sighed. "She's got my whole life in there."

He should be tried as a traitor, along with Lynch, for treason and high crimes against the United States, and upon conviction promptly hanged by the neck until dead

The good Director slammed the door and stared at it for a moment. He knew what was in the manila envelope on the dining room table behind him. He sighed. "She's got my whole life in there."
JHH, What was in the envelope? A copy of a compromising video obtained from the Russians. Blackmail pictures taken at Little St. James Island? His testicles?
As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton routinely asked her maid to print out sensitive government e-mails and documents ‐ including ones containing classified information ‐ from her house in Washington, DC, e-mails and FBI memos show. But the housekeeper lacked the security clearance to handle such material.
In fact, Marina Santos was called on so frequently to receive e-mails that she may hold the secrets to E-mailgate ‐ if only the FBI and Congress would subpoena her and the equipment she used.
Clinton entrusted far more than the care of her DC residence, known as Whitehaven, to Santos. She expected the Filipino immigrant to handle state secrets, further opening the Democratic presidential nominee to criticism that she played fast and loose with national security.
Clinton would first receive highly sensitive e-mails from top aides at the State Department and then request that they, in turn, forward the messages and any attached documents to Santos to print out for her at the home.
Among other things, Clinton requested Santos print out drafts of her speeches, confidential memos and "call sheets" ‐ background information and talking points prepared for the secretary of state in advance of a phone call with a foreign head of state.
"Pls ask Marina to print for me in am," Clinton e-mailed top aide Huma Abedin regarding a redacted 2011 message marked sensitive but unclassified.
In a classified 2012 e-mail dealing with the new president of Malawi, another Clinton aide, Monica Hanley, advised Clinton, "We can ask Marina to print this."
"Revisions to the Iran points" was the subject line of a classified April 2012 e-mail to Clinton from Hanley. In it, the text reads, "Marina is trying to print for you."
Both classified e-mails were marked "confidential," the tier below "secret" or "top secret."
Santos also had access to a highly secure room called an SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility) that diplomatic security agents set up at Whitehaven, according to FBI notes from an interview with Abedin.
From within the SCIF, Santos ‐ who had no clearance ‐ "collected documents from the secure facsimile machine for Clinton," the FBI notes revealed.
Just how sensitive were the papers Santos presumably handled? The FBI noted Clinton periodically received the Presidential Daily Brief ‐ a top-secret document prepared by the CIA and other US intelligence agencies ‐ via the secure fax.
A 2012 "sensitive" but unclassified e-mail from Hanley to Clinton refers to a fax the staff wanted Clinton "to see before your Netanyahu mtg. Marina will grab for you."
Yet it appears Clinton was never asked by the FBI in its yearlong investigation to turn over the iMac Santos used to receive the e-mails, or the printer she used to print out the documents, or the printouts themselves.

Because if the Beest goes down prosecutors will find out that Baraq was complicit in the whole deal and he will go down too. That's why Janet Lynch is doing everything she possibly can to prevent FBI and NYPD from going forward with their investigations. Besides all that, legacy.

I remember back in the 90's when the World Wide Web was new and exciting I was tasked with designing web pages for my company. When I had done so I would notify the assistant general manager's (AGM) assistant who would then print the web pages for the AGM to review. This is because the AGM was either incapable of using a computer or just plain couldn't be bothered. That kind of arrogance and ignorance at Hillary Clinton's level is extremely dangerous.

That why I found the Snowden hysteria laughable. If a contract sysadmin could scoop up that much material the Russians and the Chinese surely had and continue to have much deeper levels of NSA access given their humint capabilities.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Secret Service agents rushed Donald Trump offstage on Saturday evening during a rally in Reno, Nevada after they determined a protester in the audience might pose a threat to the Republican presidential candidate.
'Go! Go!' agents shouted as they whisked Trump away and a combination of local police and private security wrestled Austyn Crites, 33, to the ground in the front of the crowd.
Crites identifies as a 'Republican' who supports Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, according to his Facebook page.
A senior Trump campaign official told DailyMail.com that the suspect, whom rally-goers already identified as an anti-Trump protester, caused a panic when he reached into his waistband.
At that point, the campaign official said, a voice called out: 'He's got a gun!'
Trump's protective detail sprang into action, pulling him offstage as a sea of bodies scattered, screams rang out and authorities dragged Crites away as he kicked and strained.

I think the Secret Service will do anything to prevent "the Donald" from getting harmed. The thought of a Hillary presidency is just too frightening for them. They have seen that movie before. They have the same aversion I do, I don't like a shrieking woman in the a.m. before I have my coffee.

No gun, Krazy Klinton Kook?
According to the 4:06 a.m. EST update of the article, no gun was found, and it sounds very much like the miscreant was the kind of plant Project Veritas revealed as Clinton campaign contractors business as usual.
Crites, who has since been released, appeared on local newscasts saying he had merely been holding a sign that read 'Republicans Against Trump.'
When he reached into his waistband, however, police and good Samaritans took the man down.
Easy to read, with links to original emails. It's not just Saudi buying policy and funding IS. It's climate change scams as well
Trump / Pence campaign propaganda. But it's a correct statement: it is indeed a simple guide; and anon1 is correct, it's easy to read with lots of links. This is the sort of opposition attack that Trump should have been doing all along.
it's come out of crowd-sourced research - people trawled the wikileaks Podesta files and put together a dossier - just a small dossier, part of the whole - of the Clinton corruption
the Saudi money is the worst. Hillary knew they funded Islamic State and other Islamist groups in the region, and still she sold them policy favours at State.
but interesting is the "green energy" doddle where they bilk taxpayer funds via the UN
Hillary Clinton is the most corrupt, compromised candidate ever to run for the Oval Office
My hopes and thoughts are with you when you go to vote
I hope you can keep her out of there
electing her would be like electing the Saudi/Qataris straight to the white house
[DenverPost] A brick wall on the side of Donald Trump’s campaign office in Denver was vandalized late Thursday or early Friday by a perpetrator or perpetrators who wrote foul language and called the Republican presidential nominee a "thief" and "pervert" in big, block letters. The building’s windows were also defaced.
Sonny Jackson, Denver police front man, said a call was made at 7:20 a.m. about anti-Trump graffiti.
"It’s an anti message. We’ll investigate it using all the tools we have at our disposal including viewing (footage from security cameras) to determine who did this," Jackson said.
Later, at about 9 p.m. Friday, Trump staffers reported a rock tossed through a window of the same headquarters. Television footage from the scene showed a hole slightly bigger than a softball in the window.
This isn’t Denver’s first case of political graffiti this election season. Earlier this year, a mural portraying Democrat Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... in the city’s Five Points neighborhood was marked with the words "loser," "sellout" and "traitor" after he endorsed Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as Deplorable, Irredeemable and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Walter Q. Gresham ....
Shrieking Hillary's Howard Dean Moment.
Almost on the level of the "Barking Dog Video." Hillary as a Barking Dog. I give her an 8 or 9 on the Unhinged Scale. Listen to her for 4-8 years? I think not. Strike a blow for the country's good and its collective sanity. Vote for Trump.

The government is broke and heading for insolvency. The country cannot take another eight years of this. Better be prepared for hard times. The trajectory is set and I do not see it changing unless events force it to change.

[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Donald Trump clobbered Hillary Clinton on Saturday morning for appearing with Jay-Z in Cleveland
The rapper dropped one F-bomb and N-word after another, and then Hillary embraced him onstage
Clinton has been openly critical of Trump's 'tone' and the 'lewd' language he has used in the past
'I tell you what: I've never said what he said – in my life!' Trump declared in Tampa, Florida
Clinton held her campaign rally with Jay-Z and Beyoncé, drawing 10,000 people with free tickets
Many of them exited before Clinton spoke, and Trump drew a larger crowd by himself in Pennsylvania
He told a crowd in the town of Hershey: 'I'm here all by myself... No guitar, no piano, no nothing'

IMO, the voters are not particulary swayed by these celebrities shilling for a candidate. They might like going to a free concert. Free dope would have the same effect. See Dave Chappelle comments about Hillary.
[Lifezette] Company allegedly forging registrations in Keystone State also signed up phony voters in Ohio.
Pennsylvania state police have raided two offices of a voter registration group, just as the election approaches in what could be a crucial state.
Police raided the Philadelphia office of FieldWorks LLC’s office on Thursday after raiding another office in Delaware County, Pa., just days earlier.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the police used a warrant seeking forms that could be used to "construct fraudulent voter registration forms" and "completed voter registration forms containing same or similar identifying information of individuals on multiple forms."
The Washington-based group has pledged to work with state police, the Inquirer reported.
Attorney General Bruce Beemer suggested to the Inquirer that the group was employing registrants who were cutting corners to meet quotas. One way to do that is to re-register existing voters with subtle spelling differences in their names.
That technique sounds familiar, because FieldWorks did it in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, according to Logan Churchwell, communications director for True the Vote, the voter-fraud watchdog. The group had previously signed up phony voters in the Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone, ...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ... area, said Churchwell.
And Churchwell agrees that in many cases, the volunteers or the paid staff are looking to meet quotas for new voters. Late Thursday, the Inquirer reported that FieldWorks fired Ruthann Alexander for not meeting an unofficial quota of 18 people per day.
FieldWorks could also claim it registered some persons already on the voter rolls, some persons who forgot they were already signed up. But that doesn't explain why county election officials didn't catch those cases, in Ohio or elsewhere. Churchwell says identifying information that is supposed to help officials catch that, like the last four numbers of Social Security number, are always off by a digit or two. So the phony registrants stay on the voter rolls.
But what bothers election watchdogs is that in many cases observed in past elections in Cleveland, both the real person and the phony voter voted. Churchwell cannot explain exactly how that was allowed. When Cleveland-area officials were asked why by True the Vote, they did not offer an answer.
On the surface, it sounds like voter fraud. People registered phony people and someone voted them. But Beemer said it doesn't look like that. Churchwell says the systems are so weak to find duplicate registrations, even though they are supposed to work, that it happens all the time. Such registration fraud, he said, is easy to commit, and prosecutors don't have time to go after all the cases.
In Indiana, another group was investigated by Indiana State Police. Police raided offices of Patriot Majority U.S., a nonprofit advocacy organization, which signs up voters in urban and black areas. Liberals immediately cried foul, and reminded people that Indiana's governor is Mike Pence, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's running mate.
They won't be able to make that argument in Pennsylvania, which has a Democratic governor and a Democratic state election officer.

Look for the Dems to claim that this behavior by the police of preventing voter fraud is unlawful and unconstitutional. Wait a minute...they have already made that claim.
