[PJ] The former chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said with the "body of evidence" against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, FBI Director James Comey "really has no choice but to refer this for indictment."
"It does appear as though the administration continues to push for, if you will, double and triple and quadruple measuring," Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), now chairman of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet, told Fox Business Network. "But as you know, we have communications back and forth, the president from Hillary Clinton's private e-mail. We have 1,300 sensitive documents, 22 classified at the highest level."
"This is well past anyone claiming that they didn't know."
Clinton told ABC on Sunday that her email scandal "is very much like Benghazi... the Republicans are going to continue to use it, beat up on me."
Yes well, now that you've brought it up, were any of those... now classified emails [highly sensitive, SAP related traffic that we cannot see] penned during, or just after the attack at Benghazi ?
Too bad there was no time for a proper rescue, available forces, etc. I'm sure people were talking and discussing, top men, people in high places, etc.

Bottom line, its political and the Democrats and the present democratic Party administration will not execute the Law, the same way that immigration and the American Borders are not enforced even if there are Laws. Laws are not observed by the Administration. They are ABOVE the Law. If you are one of the Masters you IGNORE the LAW, Laws are only for Peons.
Hillary is ABOVE the Law and if elected will still be above the Law. You would need Tanks parked around the White House to get the Democrats to admit that the United States has only ONE LAW for ALL Citizens. Some animals are More Equal than other Animals.

Doesn't someone have to convene the Grand Jury? Who does that? I thought the FBI took the case to a court, convened the Grand Jury and let it go from there.
The insiders realize an administration has entered its terminal decline when they notice that foreign diplomats and senior journalists take a decidedly more relaxed view of their pronouncements than once they did. The invitations to the large receptions still come, but the intimate, probing lunches and dinners grow fewer. Your views are met neither with anxiety, nor urgent efforts to dissuade, but with a benign tolerance bordering on indifference. What is worse, you begin to notice that the foreigners are wining and dining advisers either to the opposition party or (worse in some ways) to the candidate of the incumbent party. The latter group—your former colleagues—have begun carefully but publicly edging away from the policies you and they once made together, and to blame you for having screwed them up.
An administration in its last year resembles a small woodland creature reaching the end of its life, seeking only a quiet burrow in which to meet its demise. Like that moribund animal, an administration will exhibit pointless twitches of frantic activity before the very end. These mostly involve extensive foreign travel to nice or particularly interesting places, which gets you away from the polite yawns of Congressmen and Senators (and worse, their staffs) that meet your opinions back home. But sooner or later you return to Washington, and there realize that your unglamorous duty consists chiefly in leaving the dog’s breakfast of a policy in the least-desperate shape you can for the next team.
Some officials, even the President, yield to delusions of major accomplishments still remaining. This is a particularly dangerous temptation for the woodland creature, whose stock of vital energy is dwindling steadily. In the final year of an administration an uneven team stumbles and bumbles more and more. The limbs are no longer coordinated, if ever they were. Everyone is exhausted. It is a bad time to try new things, particularly when it has sunken in, to friend and foe alike, that your time remaining is limited. A dying administration’s threats, like its promises, do not carry much weight, and for the same reason. Its increasingly strident defenses of itself convince no one—even some of those making them.

It took roughly a decade before black american was willing to admit that O.J probably did it. How long until they are willing to admit that Obama caused a lot of damage to their community and the nation in general? I'm guessing 20 years or more.
[NPR.ORG] Donald Trump nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
[Washington Times] Thousands of people around the world are allowed to make nominations for the prestigious award, including members of parliament and government ministers, former prize winners and some university professors.
The Nobel Institute accepts all valid nominations, which must be posted by Feb. 1, but the names of the nominees are secret.
In other words, in most cases the mere fact of the nomination is meaningless.

Go ahead. Give it to Trump. Or the gal who cuts my hair. Whatever.
His campaign makes sure every room is packed. Lately, that's because an overflow audience is interested in hearing from the surging candidate. But other times his aides have cut the room in half with drapes, ensuring it's a standing-room-only crowd.
[DAWN] US President Barack Obama visited a mosque in Baltimore on Wednesday and assured Muslims that “inexcusable political rhetoric” against them had no place in America. "No matter what you do in the name of your religion."
“Attack on one faith is an attack on all faiths,” he declared. “We cannot be bystanders to bigotry.” Does that mean that neo-Aztecs are free to sacrifice a few folks to Quetzalcoatl?
Mr Obama told the congregation that the mosque, like many in this country, was “an all American story”. Right. Hard work. Application. Neighbors helping neighbors... Oh. Wait. Not infidels.
To those Americans who have never visited a mosque, he said: “Think of your own churches and synagogues, where people come to worship, to express their love for God and to each other.” And bonk their heads toward Mecca.
Mr Obama said that he was not the first US president to be called a Muslim, Thomas Jefferson’s opponents also called him a Muslim. “So, I am in good company.” Then there was that thing with the Barbary Pirates. He did attempt to negotiate for a while.
It was in these mosques, he said, where an overwhelming majority of Muslims worked to build “bridges of understanding with other faiths, Christians, Jews” and ran health centres and taught their children. Ummm... Where was that?
He said he was now going to say two words that Muslim “do not hear often enough, thank you. Thank you for serving your community and for helping us keep united as one American family”.

Unless of course you attack Christians for being bitterly clinging untermensch, in which case it only applies to them and is not an attack on a tone else.

If Obama wasn't so heavily engaged in his own war on the first amendment there would be no need to reassure Muslims about safeguarding their first amendment rights.

Has NPR started covering for Barry by playing call to prayer intro to Thomas Jefferson Hour?
srzly, Jefferson's opponents would have had to think of the worst possible thing to call this fountainhead of enlightenment and it would be a muslim; trollface here gets called a muslim, giggles, and says stuff like the future not belonging to those who insult moomoo.
As a point of order, for those who believe in such things, Obama just compared himself to a slave owner during black history month, called the slave owner good company. Yeah, I know they are in their safe space with a black bag over their head, closing their eyes and thinking about Bernie.
[POLITICO] In a strongly worded editorial on Thursday, The Des Moines Register called on the Iowa Democratic Party to move quickly to prove that Monday's results are correct.
The piece titled "Editorial: Something smells in the Democratic Party," starts out: "Once again the world is laughing at Iowa."
It gets sharper from there. "What happened Monday night at the Democratic caucuses was a debacle, period. Democracy, particularly at the local party level, can be slow, messy and obscure. But the refusal to undergo scrutiny or allow for an appeal reeks of autocracy," the DMR reads. "The Iowa Democratic Party must act quickly to assure the accuracy of the caucus results, beyond a shadow of a doubt."
The editorial cites Clinton's razor-thin victory as too close "not to do a complete audit of results."
The newspaper editorial also said there were too many opportunities for error to arise.
"Too many accounts have arisen of inconsistent counts, untrained and overwhelmed volunteers, confused voters, cramped precinct locations, a lack of voter registration forms and other problems," the editorial reads. "Too many of us, including members of the Register editorial board who were observing caucuses, saw opportunities for error amid Monday night's chaos."
The editorial ends by calling on the state's Democratic Party to "work with all the campaigns to audit results. Break silly party tradition and release the raw vote totals. Provide a list of each precinct coin flip and its outcome, as well as other information sought by the Register. Be transparent." The state Democratic Party, of course, ignored them...
There's a reason those back rooms are smoke filled.

Iowa's caucus rules were for a different era, that is, when the caucus was a forum for neighbors to meet and discuss before making their choice known.
Its long past time to go to a primary system with secret ballots.

Was there another reason you placed yourself at the head of the line?

Standard operating procedure when Democrats are involved. Nothing to see here.... move along...
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.
