"Just a security review"
The Romanian hacker who says he easily breached Hillary Clinton's personal email server also claimed, in a series of interviews with Fox News, that he spoke with the FBI at length on the plane when extradited from Romania to Virginia last month.
"They came after me, a guy from the FBI, from the State Department," 44-year-old Marcel Lehel Lazar, who goes by the moniker "Guccifer," told Fox News during a jailhouse phone interview. He said the conversation was "80 minutes ... recorded," and he took his own notes.
A government source confirmed that the hacker had a lot to say on the plane but provided no other details. Lazar was flown to the U.S. to face separate cyber-crime charges.
In addition to the apparent conversation with the FBI on the plane, Fox News has learned a meeting was expected as early as this week at the Alexandria, Va., detention center where he's being held involving Guccifer, the FBI, the U.S. attorney and the defendant's court-appointed lawyer.

Safe to assume he got immunity for spilling his guts?
BLUF: [LI] "In November, I will not vote for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, but I will support principled conservatives at the state and federal levels, just as I have done my entire life. For Republicans, there is no greater priority than ensuring we keep control of both chambers of Congress. I look forward to working hard for great conservatives in the Senate and House in the coming months." Music to the Clinton's ears.

The day after Jeb dropped out of the race I commented that he could now focus on getting Hillary elected. A Rantburger called my comment 'idiotic'. I request a written retraction on the critique of my comment.

...During the early primaries, if I was asked whether or not I supported JEB!, my answer was that I felt he was an honest, sincere man - but I would be damned if I was going to vote for a dynasty. Now, it's clear that the honest/sincere part was a complete lie as well - whether or not you agree with Trump, this can't be seen as anything more than a petulant hissy fit on JEB!'s part.

....honest, sincere man
Yes, please strike 'honest, sincere men' from my assessments of Ryan and Romney as well.

Jeb takes his toys and goes home. The same thing they made Trump promise not to do if he lost. Anyone wonder why nobody like politicians these days?

I doubt if I'm alone in saying that I would have never voted for Jeb either. I'd just as soon cast a protest vote for a third party candidate and thereby let Hillary win than vote for Jeb. So there.
Principled conservative my ass. Jeb's only principles are to server the special interests both foreign and domestic who sponsored his candidacy.
The primaries are over, Jeb. You lost. You are now irrelevant and that's a good thing.

LOL I got my rino speks on.
JEB! Was worser than Hitlery!
Talk to yawl later after After the reign of the "Führerin" (at least she's not a RINO,) is over.
Slouching towards Venezuela
WASHINGTON (AP) ‐ In the event that the U.S. economy crashed, Donald Trump has floated a recovery plan based on his own experience with corporate bankruptcy: Pay America's creditors less than full value on the U.S. Treasurys they hold.
Experts see it as a reckless idea that would send interest rates soaring, derail economic growth and undermine confidence in the world's most trusted financial asset.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee suggested in a phone interview Thursday with CNBC that he would stimulate growth through borrowing. If trouble arose, he added, he could get investors to accept reduced payments for their Treasury holdings.
Trump later clarified that comment to say he would offer to buy the bonds back at a discount from investors in hopes of refinancing them at lower rates.
"I would borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal," Trump told CNBC.
Such a move, never before attempted by the U.S. government, would likely spook investors whose trust in Treasury notes keeps global financial markets operating.

The economy has been on the verge of collapsing since about 2007. There has been no real economic growth. Only the Fed's money printing and suppression of interest rates has been keeping it going. Maybe the easiest way out of a crash would be an Arc Light strike of B52s dropping Benjamins over US soil.

The reason that we are in such trouble is BECAUSE the interest rates have been held artificially low.
If Bush or Obama had raised them to even half of the real cost of borrowing money, there would have been 18 months of pain followed by at least a partial authentic recovery.
But that would entail incumbent politicians and bureaucracy chiefs falling on their swords and losing their precious six-figure jobs, so it never happened.
Forty years of easy borrowing so that the entrenched in the public sector have never had to tell the truth about the WWII peace dividend running out and come up with honest solutions and plans for America going forward have come home to roost.

Rising interest rates could also signal a return of investor dollars to banks, which sadly, are now owned by the government.

We are bankrupt. The only thing keeping the game going is lying to ourselves. When we go tango uniform like other countries, they'll all go down economically with us. What would they prefer, to be paid at a discount or stiffed like the GM/Chrysler stockholders? The 'world financial markets' are just as guilty in keeping this ponsi scheme running as anyone else. They should have avoided buying Treasury notes a long time ago.

BTW, because of all that, expect the amount of (illegal) foreign money flowing into the Hillary campaign to eclipse the first Obama run. Got to keep the game going.
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.
