[Daily Caller] Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday said he had "no knowledge what kind of email" Hillary Clinton used when she was at the State Department even though he exchanged messages with her when he was in the U.S. Senate.
The nation’s top diplomat, who testified on the State Department’s budget in front of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, also asserted that the American people "are really getting bored with" questions about the Clinton email scandal.
"You’re fixated on this," Kerry told California Rep. Darrell Issa after a tough line of questioning about Clinton’s email arrangement and his knowledge of it.
Issa, a Republican, pressed Kerry over emails revealed last month that show he sent emails from his personal address to Clinton’s personal address discussing government business. Information in one of those emails has been retroactively classified as "Secret," the second-highest classification level.
[HotAir] And now it's ending. As Moe Lane so elegantly put it, Charlie Rangel has won in the ultimate meaning of the word. He gamed the system for more than four decades, enriching himself at the expense of those he was supposedly representing, dodging the law and living the high life. And he never paid any serious price for his actions the entire time.

What did he do, cut a deal to stay out of jail for tax evasion?
Please oh please oh please . . . .
Rev. Al Sharpton told attendees at a Center for American Progress Action Fund event Thursday he would flee the country if Donald Trump won the election, in order to avoid being deported by Trump.
Sharpton, a Democrat, had positive feedback for many of the Republican presidential candidates until he got to Trump.
"If Donald Trump is the nominee, I'm open to support anyone [else], while I'm also reserving my ticket to get out of here if he wins, only because he'd probably have me deported anyway," Sharpton told attendees, who responded in laughter.
Sharpton, who has participated in various national protests condemning police brutality, did not explain why he thinks Trump would deport him, though both New Yorkers have publicly shared their differences of opinion on various issues.

With his endorsement of bennie, he must certainly leave to a non-extradite country with a Hillary! win...may want to anyways just in case she has a tantrum with a loss.
How fortunate that as the former president he will never be required to do so.
How wealthy is he and is he sending any money by wire?
[Washington Examiner] Just 48 hours after Trump told Nevada voters that Mexico is "going to be thrilled to be paying" for the wall he's proposed along the Southern border, Mexico's former president offered a very different take.
"I'm not going to pay for that f--king wall," Vicente Fox told Fusion's Jorge Ramos during an interview Thursday.
"He should pay for it. He's got the money," Fox said of Trump, the billionaire-turned-Republican presidential front-runner.
Upon being asked if he fears Trump will succeed in his bid for the White House and what that would mean for Mexico, Fox said "democracy can not take that."

Mexico can be made to pay via a special "Vicente's wall building" tax levied at source against beneficiaries of all cash remittances from USA to Mexico - whether it is immigrants trying to remit money back to Mexico, or US companies seeking to pay for goods imported from Mexico.

Takes me back to the Mariel Boatlift. Castro got rid of a lot of 'undesirables' back then.
Mehican government playing the same game with their open-border needs? The 'greedy' ones move north and don't disturb the status-quo of the other peons in DF or Jalisco.
Perhaps too, if there was a wall, the dirty-dollars wouldn't 'flow south' to a select few quite as easily?

Former Mexican president: 'I'm not going to pay for that 'expletive' wall'

So how does Mexico pay for it? (1) Just charge every person entering the USA twenty dollars a day entry fee. If you have ever seen the entry lines at the various crossings you know that Donald can collect a lot of money. And suppose Mexico counters? So what? (2) Charge a 5% fee on the total that Mexican citizens workking in the USA remit to Mexico. That should equal about $500 million annually. And if a Mexican is found sending money illegally, sequester the whole amount.
China warned the United States on Wednesday not to adopt punitive currency policies that could disrupt U.S.-China relations after Donald Trump's win in the Nevada caucus.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters in Beijing that "we are following with interest the U.S. presidential election."
Hua was asked about China's response to a possible Trump presidency and his announced plan to punish China for currency manipulation with a tax on Chinese goods.
"Since it belongs to the domestic affair of the U.S., I am not going to make comments on specific remarks by the relevant candidate," she said.
"But I want to stress that China and the U.S., as world's largest developing and developed countries, shoulder major responsibilities in safeguarding world peace, stability and security and driving world development," the spokeswoman added. You must admit he is pissing off all the right people.

China no longer fears or respects the U.S. The spratly islands are a great example of China's lack of concern for the U.S. policies or power Trump frightens them because the Chinese pacs can't control him.

China hates Trump because he openly talks about their monetary manipulations and will stop it, thus tanking the Chinese economy and sending the world into a deep depression.

Information Security and unemployment - Paper.

Evidently a somewhat clandestine campaign fund raising stop. After landing she was greeted by 6 people and then whisked off to a private fundraiser in West Beaumont, where she was greeted by around 150-200 Muslims, most of whom were of Pakistani origin. The event was held by Pakistani businessman Tahir Javed and Hillary raised approximately $500,000 by pandering to Muslims, making it "one of the top five private fundraiser's Clinton has had in this country." Sheila Jackson Lee was reportedly there as well.

Trump is going around saying things that piss off the Mexicans, Chinese and Paks while the Beest is taking money from them. What else do you need to know?

So Shrillary has become a bag man womyn for her campaign now? She doesn't discriminate, she will take anyone's money with impartiality. Another friggin snake oil salesman comes to town.
[Free Beacon] Hillary Clinton touted her legal work on behalf of children in the 1970s in a new South Carolina campaign ad, but neglected to mention her successful legal defense of a child rapist in 1975.
As a young lawyer in Arkansas, one of Clinton’s first legal victories was when she secured a lenient plea deal for a 40-year-old man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl. In a bold legal maneuver, Clinton traveled to New York where she persuaded a prominent forensics expert to raise questions about the admissibility of the prosecution’s DNA evidence.
Although Clinton later expressed doubts about her client’s innocence, she managed to plead down the charges and got him off with just a few months in jail.
The Clinton campaign ad highlights her work for the Children’s Defense Fund in South Carolina in the early 1970s, when she helped end policies that allowed incarcerated minors to be held in adult prisons.
"I first met Hillary in the early 1970s when she was here fighting for the rights of children in South Carolina," said one attorney in the video. "She could have gotten a job anywhere out of law school with her credentials, but she has taken the route of public service."

I wish he, or any of the other Pub candidates had known of her Paki fund raising stop in Beaumont before last night's debate. Credit where credit is due. Certainly nice media 'cover for action' exploitation on her part.

Hildebeest is going to package herself for the election as Saint Hillary? She's going to go with that? Not going to fly unless some of her voters are really dimwits.
[Free Beacon] President Barack Obama has announced in a rare statement that he will not follow newly passed measures aimed at boosting the Israeli economy and strengthening ties between the United States and the Jewish state, according to a statement issued by the president.
Obama stated that while he would sign the new trade resolution, portions of which focus on combatting economic boycotts of Israel, he would not enforce certain pro-Israel provisions that order the United States to stop partnering with countries that support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, or BDS, which aims to isolate Israel.
The president's rejection of these provisions comes two weeks after the White House issued a separate statement expressing support for every provision of the trade bill except for those focusing on strengthening the U.S.-Israel relationship.
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
