[Breitbart] With her campaign sinking in the polls, Hillary Clinton has launched a desperate attack against Trump University to deflect attention away from her deep involvement with a controversial for-profit college that made the Clintons millions, even as the school faced serious legal scrutiny and criminal investigations.
In April 2015, Bill Clinton was forced to abruptly resign from his lucrative perch as honorary chancellor of Laureate Education, a for-profit college company. The reason for Clinton’s immediate departure: Clinton Cash revealed, and Bloomberg confirmed, that Laureate funneled Bill Clinton $16.46 million over five years while Hillary Clinton’s State Dept. pumped at least $55 million to a group run by Laureate’s founder and chairman, Douglas Becker, a man with strong ties to the Clinton Global Initiative. Laureate has donated between $1 million and $5 million (donations are reported in ranges, not exact amounts) to the Clinton Foundation. Progressive billionaire George Soros is also a Laureate financial backer.
As the Washington Post reports, "Laureate has stirred controversy throughout Latin America, where it derives two-thirds of its revenue." During Bill Clinton’s tenure as Laureate’s chancellor, the school spent over $200 million a year on aggressive telemarketing, flashy Internet banner ads, and billboards designed to lure often unprepared students from impoverished countries to enroll in its for-profit classes. The goal: get as many students, regardless of skill level, signed up and paying tuition.
"I meet people all the time who transfer here when they flunk out elsewhere," agronomy student Arturo Bisono, 25, told the Post. "This has become the place you go when no one else will accept you."
[POLITICO] A former technology adviser to Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Abel P. Upshur ... is seeking to keep under wraps an immunity deal the aide reached with the Justice Department in its investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state.
A lawyer for Bryan Pagliano ... himself never described as Another Guccifier ...
submitted a sealed motion and exhibits to U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Sullivan Tuesday afternoon, less than two hours before the 5 p.m. deadline Sullivan set for the filing of Pagliano's immunity agreement.
A legal memorandum filed publicly Tuesday confirms for the first time that Pagliano reached such an immunity agreement, and lays out arguments for why he should still be able to assert his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in a Freedom of Information Act suit a conservative group, Judicial Watch, is pursuing over Clinton's email set-up.
The document also states that Pagliano has filed a motion to keep his immunity agreement under seal.
The battle over whether to make Pagliano's immunity agreement public is an unhelpful development for Clinton's presidential campaign. The discussion over the details of the deal carries implications that someone involved may have committed a crime, although no one has been charged.

Just another attempt to keep Judicial Watch at bay by the most 'transparent administration' in history.

If this woman walks, the rule of law isn't worth a plug nickel. The credibility of the FBI won't be worth much if they sell out to the presumptive Democratic candidate. Laws will only be for the little people. The masses will be sharpening their pitch forks while Homeland Security plans mass evacuations of D.C.
[HOSTED.AP.ORG] Lawmakers in the nation's capital approved a $15-an-hour minimum wage on Tuesday, joining numerous other cities and the states of Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, and New York in mandating pay raises for retail, restaurant and service-industry workers.
The D.C. Council unanimously approved the wage increase, and Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser has pledged to sign it when it reaches her desk, likely sometime this summer.
The District of Columbia currently has a $10.50 minimum wage that will rise to $11.50 in July under legislation signed in 2014 by Bowser's predecessor, Vincent Gray.

Another democratic channel to buy votes from the shortsighted masses. I predict in 6 months there will be a reassessment.
#2
After voting, switch to the 'Blue Bus' to Potomac Mills Mall for free check cashing and shopping. Mayors Muriel Bowser and Rawlings-Blake will be available at the food court for photos and autographs.

This means more kids living in their parents basement as they are shut out of entry-level jobs, more robots working in fast food joints, and further shrinking of the labor force.

Hell, they can afford it. The richest areas in the nation are all around DC. Might as well raise it to $20 and jack up all the costs of everything. More taxes brought in on higher prices too. It is the progressive dream in action!
#8
I remember seeing cots for about twenty people in one basement near the white house. I believe it was Independence ave. Roaches galore. The wealthy will live in their second home outside the city limits. Back in 76 I remember monthly mortgage payment of $5000. and oil heat of $1000/month in winter. They used to say in Georgetown if you want to live here don't ask the costs. Forget parking. Use a limo service. Enterprise has rentals parked all over for use.

If you are going to manage the economy (isn't there a name for this?), shouldn't you also set a maximum wage? And maybe some price controls, too. For the People!
Out here the Skagit County Farmers' markets are offering not only to accept EBT cards ( OK so far I guess) but then will give EBT holders a 2-fer farmer bucks deal. I guess those of us still holding a job have to pay full price while the freeloaders get us to support them twice.

A truer word was bever spoken. its not about democrat v republican this time, and the clintons and trump were once friends! This is not about red or blue. Its about the system's desperate need for a true outsider, a bright spark who can get things done, to clean out the crap and put a few corrupt people in the Big House where they belong.
The spy bureaucracy wont like it as they have been "wagging the dog" too long, so expect a shedload of lying misinformation along the way.
Democracy needs the informed consent of the people. And the people need someone who will actually represent THEM
Go Trump... MAGA because the rest of the world needs you to put america first for a change and make the country strong again

His speech nailed how most of America feels and certainly how his followers feel. As far as I'm concerned it could be Joe the Plumber giving this speech and I would vote for him. It was interesting to hear those that hate Trump comment on the speech. Their minds have been made up, closed to the point of bias, and unwilling to even consider what he says. He will win, he will reel in the Bernie supporters and crush Hillary.

I still don't trust him and still see him as the epitome of crony capitalism.
That being said, if all he does is act like a huge wreaking ball through the entrenched bureaucracy in DC it will be well worth whatever else happens.

My contacts in Germany think as the liberals do here. They have a major hate thing going to boycott Israeli products now. They would be quite happy if O stayed in power.One fellow in Germany associated Trump to Captain Ahab. I must add in England also Trump is disliked. You can imagine the Swiss perspective.
#7
Darth, you are right about the crony capitalism problem, BUT, that problem has two sides. The inside is where the politicians live and the outside is where the "capitalists" live.
Given the nature of the insiders is it really fair to blame the outsiders? This is like the argument for unilateral disarmament. Trump knows the outside, hopefully he will attack the real source of the problem, the inside.
And if the outsiders continue to try and bribe the insiders? Well hopefully the rule of law will be reestablished.
Imagine an economy where there wasn't enough money/power in government to make it worth your while to bribe the pols.

This election is about people finally becoming aware that the old republic died and that you need the leader of your own special interest group (one that has been consistently and unrelentingly demonized and scapegoated for decades). Resistance or surrender. The Left by exploiting special interests of smaller and smaller group giving them veto if not outright domination of a large plurality if not majority of the population has created this situation. Their shrill voice and street thuggery shows how intolerant they are of this new emergent special interest group. It's one thing to cobble together an alliance predicated upon hate of the country and the people, it's another when the object of their scorn awake and and resist.

Dale, if the Germans, Brits and other assorted Euroweenies want to turn their countries over to Arabs without so much as a fight there's nothing I can do about it. If they want to forfeit their sovereignty to a socialist, one-world government I have no say in the matter. I just hope Americans wake up before it happens here.

That really was a good read. Kelly Scott Franklin of the Federalist. I don't agree but clever. The ship of state must be righted somehow. Far Far too many negatives with Hilly. I see her course far more reckless and obsessive than Trump.
[Last Refuge] The Hispanic National Bar Association published a press release on July 2nd 2015 which specifically stated their intention to target the "business interests" of Donald Trump: But of course the facts do not matter to Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham, or the insidious Glenn Beck.
Hat tip to former Bush Administration Attorney General Roberto Gonzales for stating the obvious and attempting to set the record straight with regard to the perception of conflict of interest.
This doesn't prove that the judge himself is biased. As was pointed out to me on another forum, every state has bar associations for various minorities. Membership doesn't equal racism. The one with "La Raza" in the name apparently isn't the same odious "La Raza" that we know (though it's curious that they invite the confusion).
But in the end, we're known in part by the company we keep.

I do not think Trump is racist in any way for his comments on that judge.
It is just common sense if you have a policy of building a wall on the border to keep out lllegals (and making mexico pay)
And that policy was misrepresented by lying establishment media to say "trump hates mexicans"
And that angers some mexicans (illegals and those who believe the lies)
Then it is only common sense to say that judge with mexican parents might be biased against him
And yes, same goes for a muslim judge vis a vis his great idea of a temporary halt on muslim migration
I think Trump is a tremendous candidate. I like his policies. I like that he is not taking millions in donations from Saudi Barbaria unlike Shillary Clingon
I like that he will roll back theno-borders multiculturalist fascism we have been forced to accept for 20 years

Elan Kagan said, "ethnicity will play a part in a judge's decisions". If Trump was black and the judge was a KKK member would Trump be pilloried for his comments?

Mitch McConnell Paul Ryan, Lindsey Graham,
So why aren't these boys just rubber stamping O's SCOTUS nomination? Mayne because the judiciary has become just another arm of politics. The presumption of 'fairness' and adherence to the letter of the law has long ago evaporated and is indeed politically influenced. Right Justice Roberts?
#7
"La Raza" or 'the race.' Could be any race I suppose. But it isn't, is it? Why can't we simply identify organizations and causes for what they actually are ?
#9
If Judge Gonzalo Curiel is pushing La Raza (The Race) and other Mexican causes, it is right for Trump to question Curiel's fairness. Curiel ought to recuse himself. Trump is not being racist, he is just asking for a fair trial regarding Trump University. If the Judge is interested in fraud and corruption, he might Google the Clintons, the Clinton Foundation, and Pediophile Island.
#11
Trump, and Trump Univ we certainly have grounds for appeal if he loses. He can claim judicial bias because of his Hispanic bias and focus. He does not belong to any white support groups, and is public about his feelings on Trumps agenda. His being public on his political beliefs, as a judge, he sets himself up for appeal. The courts will be forced to relook it.

The one with "La Raza" in the name apparently isn't the same odious "La Raza" that we know (though it's curious that they invite the confusion).
It's not the same but it is related to it through the La Raza Lawyers of California which lists the odious La Raza as an affilitate.
Looking at the LRLASD web-site they make a big deal about the definition of La Raza. Seems that it can also mean groups of Mexicans too.
#14
Considering a lot of the flak against Trump's statements comes from the very people that said there needed to be more diversity so they could take care of (aka be biased towards) their "people", I don't think Trump should apologize.
However, this is noise that confuses the real topics and the sooner Trump stops this bullshit and starts hitting Hillary on the stuff that matters and has people pissed off the better.
#15
Darth, I think Trump needs to make the point here that the judge is bias so that (a) the judge recuses himself (b) the judge has that subtle pro-Trump lean to avoid claims of bias (c) Trump has claims for the public and the courts to explain the loss.
There is time to get back at Hillary. In fact time is on Trump's side.

In California the Bench and Bar is riddled with La Raza activists. La Raza has great influence when it comes to judicial appointments, both at the Superior Court and Appellate levels. They have their own agenda, and it doesn't include non-Latinos. Everything within La Raza Nothing outside La Raza.
