[Political Insider] It’s important to remember, just because Donald Trump finally defeated Hillary Clinton and effectively ended her political career, her past criminality hasn’t changed in any way, shape, or form.
Her private email scandal, mishandling of classified material, and pay-to-play schemed through the Clinton Foundation still happened, and she should be dealt with accordingly.
Thankfully, Congressman Jason Chaffetz agrees, vowing to continue his probe into the former presidential candidate’s actions!
Hillary Clinton may have lost the 2016 election, but she will still face investigations into her use of a private email server and an alleged "pay-to-play" scam at the Clinton Foundation, according to Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT).
"This is the largest breach of security, perhaps, in the history of the State Department," Chaffetz said of Clinton’s alleged mishandling of state secrets.
He added that the committee is still looking into dozens of people in Clinton’s inner circle.
"We have perjury issues that we still want the Department of Justice to look at," he explained.
He noted that the questions about a pay-to-play scandal involving the Clinton Foundation and Clinton’s State Department is a completely separate ‐ and also ongoing ‐ investigation.
When asked about his dogged pursuit of the truth behind Clinton’s actions, Chaffetz declared that it was his obligation and duty to continue the investigations.
"It’s this huge, massive mess that has to be cleaned up. So we would be remiss if we just dismissed it and moved on," Chaffetz claimed. "We have a lot of things that we have to fix, so it never ever happens again."
Meanwhile, Donald Trump hasn’t given up on Clinton, either.
Trump told 60 Minutes that he’s "going to think about it" when asked about appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton, but added "I don’t want to hurt" her.

Order the buses to leave immediately and return to Wisconsin empty. Protesters hoofing it home via leather cadillacs should send a pretty good message.

I'm not too sure that these were specifically 'Protester' busses. Lots of tour and 'route transport' buses park in the same area because there is room to do so and no parking fees. In the rest of the downtown Chicago area, not so much.
Less than a mile from McCormick Place or Chinatown and only a couple miles from the Field Museum, Art Institute, State Street, Michigan Avenue, Shedd Aquarium, Opera House, etc.
These folks might just be parked, waiting for prearranged tour pickup times. Badger Coaches haul a lot of school kids and senior tour groups around to venues in the upper Midwest, so could be that.
Then again, I do believe that a LOT the Chi-Town Protesters (there's a band name in there somewhere) came from outside the area.

EU members plan to discuss how far they believe Trump will go to live up to his pledges to turn U.S. foreign policy upside down on issues including Syria, Iran, Russia and NATO, The Guardian reported.
"We do not see the need for an additional meeting on Sunday because the U.S. election timetable is long established," a spokesman for Johnson said. "An act of democracy has taken place, there is a transition and we will work with the current and future administrations to ensure the best outcomes for Britain."
Hear, hear!
But really, the international panic after the rest virtue-signalled their horror at a Trump candidacy is utterly delicious. I'm trying to be properly ashamed, though.
[ChicagoSunTimes] Trump back-pedaled on his promise to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clinton over her emails. "I’m going to think about it," Trump said.
"...She did some bad things, I mean she did some bad things," Trump said, prompting Stahl to ask, "I know, but a special prosecutor? You think you might...
To which Trump replied, making a reference to Bill and Hillary Clinton, "I don’t want to hurt them, I don’t want to hurt them. They’re, they’re good people. I don’t want to hurt them. And I will give you a very, very good and definitive answer the next time we do 60 Minutes together."
Did he say anything about discouraging his new attorney general, the NYPD, the IRS, or the various Congressional committee investigations? With this man one must listen as carefully to what he didn't say as to what he did, so if someone could get hold of the entire tape, that would be a very good idea.
Briefing Call: Dentons' US Public Policy and Regulation team held a moderated briefing call on November 10 to analyze the impact of the historic US election. Dentons senior advisor Newt Gingrich, former US Speaker of the House, discussed his insights on the November 8 election results.

Hillary is not a good person. Trump better rethink this and not get carried away in the excitement of a great victory. Best to keep that ace in the hole. The people voted for law and order and justice.
#5
I need no revenge, simply justice. I trust the Trump people to make the correct decision.
Is it not enough that these evil Clinton people will be retiring from public service and are probably ruined? Above all else, we can give thanks that she and the donks will have nothing to do with the upcoming Supreme Court picks.
#6
The problem he has with NOT prosecuting is that it damages the 'legitimacy' of his election - it could appear to support claims that she did nothing wrong and that the accusations were strictly political creations. Of course prosecuting when you cannot convict (even if the charges are true) is even more damaging.
#8
I've said it before, Special Prosecutor Elizabeth Warren.
Let the Democrats determine if they are the corrupt/cover-up party (either way it can be hung around Warren's neck later) and let the Republicans come off as bending over backwards to be fair while striving for rule of law. Win/win.

A pardon is as a good as an admission of guilt for criminal activities. She'll never be jailed. Their profits from selling favors should be stripped from them and the companies that paid them publicly exposed and embarrassed. You can bet all those uncollected quos will be painful

HRC is not an enemy anymore.
As long as the Clintons and Obamas continue to maintain a high profile with their constituencies, the country will be vulnerable to any manner of Soros mischief. Why hasn't she condemned the violent protests? Why the co-ordinated purple outfits at her concession speech? Purple Revolution.
She will remain a danger.

Hope that Guilani will become A/G. Then he takes his time and starts looking up and down the food chain. Rudy knows how prosecutions under RICO work. Seizing assets would be a good start. All under the radar while the case builds.

[NatlPost] The nightmare interpretation of Tuesday’s U.S. election result is that half of America decided to inaugurate a regressive, sexist white nationalist empire. The more generous and more likely interpretation is that this was a protest vote -- a protest vote of such force and intensity that American voters were even willing to register it with a candidate with such obvious character flaws.
But against what were they rebelling? Plenty of American liberals are wondering this weekend whether they themselves played a role in making the Trump presidency possible. Below, the National Post’s Tristin Hopper sums up the main arguments. Looking past the attitude, pretty much spot on.

Maybe if the Democrats didn't use the line, "You're all a bunch of bitter clinger irredeemable deplorables, vote for us!" they would be in better standing with regular, productive Americans.

How does the left feel about Obama while they are in a self-incriminating mood? Worst POTUS in history.

McCain wasn't Hitler. Romney wasn't Hitler. Trump isn't Hitler. However if Trump just does a decent job*, some of your zombies will start thinking, 'hey maybe Hitler isn't too bad'.
* given how badly you've managed the economy for the past 8 years, stuck them with a 5K tax to fund your failing Obamacare and suppress employment, and kept them in 5 (or is it now 7) wars, it doesn't seem to be too hard for a decent manager to turn around.
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Sen. Joe Minchin delivered a sharp rebuke Friday to Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid ... the charismatic senator-for-life from Nevada, finally retiring ... for denouncing Americans who elected Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... "Senator Harry Reid’s statement today attacking President-elect Trump is wrong! It is an absolute embarrassment to the Senate as an institution, our Democratic party, and the nation," Mr. Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, said in a statement released late Friday.
"I want to be very clear, he does not speak for me," said Mr. Manchin, one of the most conservative Democrats in the upper chamber of the U.S. Congress.
Mr. Reid, Nevada Democrat, lashed out at Americans who backed Mr. Trump, saying they confirmed the ascendance of "hate and bigotry in America."
"Watching white nationalists celebrate while innocent Americans cry tears of fear does not feel like America," said Mr. Reid, who is retiring from the Senate this year.

And all it took was a Trump victory to make the obvious . . . obvious.
[BUSINESSINSIDER] Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham ... the endangered South Carolina RINO... , a vocal critic of Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... throughout the election cycle, slammed the president-elect's views on foreign policy in a wide-ranging interview with Business Insider last week.
He called Trump a "fool" when it comes to Russia, said the billionaire businessman has "zero idea" about how to defeat the terrorist group ISIS (also known as 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.... or ISIS), called his views on the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... alliance "dangerous," and said Trump "doesn't know anything" about foreign policy writ large.
"To put 'Donald Trump' and 'foreign policy' in the same sentence is a stretch," Graham said. "This is not his area. He doesn't know anything about it. He doesn't seem to be curious."
Barack Obama claimed foreign policy expertise based in spending a few years of his childhood in Indonesia and a winter break with his roommate's family in Pakistan. Donald Trump owns properties in at least seven countries around the world (I counted the named international properties on his business website without exploring the ones that weren't given locations.) plus his golf clubs in the UAE and Scotland. And he wasn't even a child when he built them.

so who dies in todays environment? He understands negotiation from a position of strength, it is a business principle. He also knows you cant buy loyalty, which Mr Graham, Obama, and the entire DC crowd have still failed to realize.

Graham needs to hurry up and finish
his transition---to being a Democrat.
A former member of the Nation of Islam who claims to never have known about the NOI's anti semitism and anti gay past - as he now freely associates with Jews and gays and supports gay marriage
...only the Progressive ones, one imagines...
is slowly raking up support from some key figures within the party, such as Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York Sen. Charles Schumer, who want him to be the next leader, following the party's humbling presidential loss earlier this week.
Citing more than 250,000 signatures in support of Ellison on a petition posted to his website, Sanders said the congressman is the future of the party.
I think it's a marvelous idea. Let the Democratic party sharpen its brand image even further, and watch the voters choose.
Superbly qualified, an absolutely excellent choice. I recommend a lifetime appointment.
With no possibility of parole...

They've lost because the white working class turned away from them. So, they pick a candidate for their party's chairman who is as far as they get from the white working class. Makes sense.
At that point the truth of corrupting Saudi money will be absolutely out in the open.

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.
