[INVESTORS] Justice: The FBI once was known as incorruptible, a legendary enforcer of American law that fought traitors, spies, organized crime and government corruption with equal fervor and fearlessness. Recent revelations about the FBI's moves during its investigation of Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another John C. Calhoun ... 's rogue email server suggest that that FBI no longer exists.
Of particular relevance are the so-called side agreements signed by the FBI with high-level Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson as part of the investigation. It's important to note that both of these aides were in the thick of things in Hillaryland, and surely knew much about Clinton's likely illegal use of a private server and her exposure of U.S. secrets.
Those side deals essentially tied the hands of the bureau in its investigation. And that was the FBI Director James Comey's intent all along -- to keep from having to do what it knew should be done, and that is indict Hillary Clinton for repeated "careless" violations of national security law, and for subsequently lying about them to the FBI and Congress.
A letter from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., to Attorney General Loretta Lynch was summed up as follows by Andrew C. McCarthy, a former U.S. attorney and now a columnist for the National Review: "Pursuant to these side agreements, it was stipulated that (a) the FBI would not scrutinize any documents dated after January 31, 2015 (i.e., about five weeks before the most disturbing actions suggestive of obstruction of justice occurred); and (b) the FBI -- in an investigation critically involving destruction of documents -- would destroy the computers after conducting its search."
Let that sink in for just a moment. This sounds not like an investigation but a carefully choreographed cover-up. 'Carefully choreographed is it?' Same could be said for gay synchronized swimming I suppose.
If so, this will surely do long-term and perhaps irreversible damage to the FBI's reputation for evenhandedness. Worse, it looks a lot like the FBI is now being directed by Democratic politicians outside the bureau -- a frightening prospect in a nation that is built on the idea of equal application of the law to all citizens. If the director of the FBI can be suborned by political leftists, what does that say about the rest of our government?
For those who say forget it, this is old news -- it isn't. Just this week, the Washington Examiner reports, a new bunch of emails have been handed over showing high levels of complicity between Hillary Clinton's State Department office and the Clinton Family Foundation.
"The trove of roughly 200 pages of records made public Wednesday was just the latest and most convincing indication that, rather than operate as an independent organization, the Clinton Foundation leaned heavily on the State Department (while Hillary was secretary of state) to expand its global reach," the Examiner wrote.
So the FBI's cover-up, far from being a trifling favor paid to a political patron, turns out to be part of a much bigger cover-up of the numerous corrupt linkages between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation. If so, this is criminality on a massive scale, dwarfing even Watergate.

I think the FBI has made it abundantly clear that there TWO kinds of Law in the USA, one for the Elite and one for the Peasants.
And the Democratic party seems to have the ability to use the IRS to harass people it doesn't like who are TOO Conservative. And the Democratic party seems to be able to
enforce discrimination of Conservative values using US govt. institutions to do it.
We don't have a sovereign BORDER anymore. There are ( some estimate ) 43 MILLION illegal now living here in the US and even tho' they are illegal they claim as their right...Welfare and the rights of Citizens which they do not deserve and to which they are NOT entitled..at the Expense of Americans.
It is OBVIOUS that the US Govt. is CORRUPT and does not work, especially to serve the needs of LEGAL citizens.
People are buying guns in record numbers. More and more of the Police are being shot trying to keep Order. The Media is BIASED and can't be trusted. There are tens of millions of American without jobs.
Moslems are being imported and forcibly settled in American towns. The American people are not being asked, they are being told.
You figure it out. It is only a matter of a single spark and it all explodes. The trucks stop delivering food to the local supermarkets and the hungry inner city floods out to the Suburbs and then the Farms ( what farms ). And if you are hungry and armed.....
can't ever happen, right? How much ammunition have you got stored, better buy another box or two.
But then, I could be wrong, maybe its all Mayberry and let's go fishing with Cooter.

"I'd say Democratic and Republican parties are the sock puppets on the arms of the Civil Service bureaucracy."
You give the Civil Service WAY much too credit. I've seen them in their natural habitat. 95% of them fall into the what I refer to as "welfare w/dignity". They have job, they get paid, but they don't have to show up that much. When they do show up, they don't do much. The gov't works in spite of them.

William, you ever heard the expression "the banality of evil"? Let me give you a hint: what happens to somebody who gets in their way?
#7
Is the FBI now an arm of the Democratic Party?? You bet! I didn't think so until Comey testified in front of the House oversight committee. DOJ and the rest of the bureaucracy are arms of the Democratic Party as well. IMHO nothing short of a second revolution is going to clean up this mess.

Sure as in Adolf Eichmann. My point is this - the vast majority of CS employees are mind-numbed robots on a habitrail hamster ball to nowhere. There are a few (too many) at high levels that exert power and influence beyond their pay grade and intellectual ability. Those are the ones that bear watching.

"B Co. Be there when you get there, be there when you leave."
h/t Instapundit -
[Politico] A wave of Republican officials abandoned Donald Trump on Saturday, but, at least for now, rank-and-file Republicans are standing by the party's presidential candidate, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll conducted immediately after audio was unearthed Friday that had the GOP nominee crudely bragging about groping women and trying to lure a married woman into an affair.
Overall, fewer than four-in-10 voters -- 39 percent -- think Trump should end his presidential campaign, while only slightly more voters, 45 percent, think he should not drop out. Anybody who ever happened to overhear girls' talk, knows we males are shy and modest creatures.

...As I see it (IMHO, YMMV), here's the choice the Party leadership has right now:
1. They can continue to support Trump and lose the election, blame it on the 'idiot voters' and start planning a comeback for 2020.
2. They can pull their support for Trump (he'll NEVER quit on his own, and Pence won't lead a coup) and lose the election - but in this case, the 'idiot voters' will pretty much give up on the GOP and it will pretty much never compete at the Presidential level again.

In the long run it won't matter. The Hildabeest will complete the destruction of this country internal and foreign policy. Trump, even if he wins, will be opposed by both RINOS and dems. The elephant in the room is unbridled spending by congress. This country is bankrupt just not insolvent yet. Nobody talks about this. The country is still on the same trajectory to insolvency. We are heading the same direction as Venezuela and not a peep from anyone.

I fear you are right AP. Neither candidate will be able to drastically reduce entitlement spending or the size of government.

If we cannot learn vicariously using our intellect, we will have to learn the hard way. Welcome to the fourth turning and the crisis.

Any one who spent more than 3 seconds reflecting on who Trump is and who the Dems are knew this sort of thing was coming. Keep your feigned shock and surprise to yourself.
That said, replacing him now would be just as stupid as nominating him in the first place. We picked this horse. Now we get to ride it.
[Philly.com] ELKHORN, Wis. (AP) - House Speaker Paul Ryan was booed and heckled by Donald Trump supporters at a party unity rally in his congressional district Saturday, an event that the Republican nominee had originally planned to attend.
Ryan announced Friday that Trump was no longer welcome at the rally after a recording was released featuring the former reality TV star making vulgar comments about women. Trump's running mate Mike Pence was to fill in for Trump, but the Indiana governor canceled hours before the annual "Fall Fest" event began.
Defiant Trump supporters voiced their frustration at Ryan and other Republicans who spoke at the county fairgrounds in front of two large American flags, rows of pumpkins and stacks of straw. Ryan - who said Friday he was "sickened" by Trump's words - was heckled with shouts of "Shame on you!" and "You turned your backs on us!"
“I’m out. I can no longer in good conscience endorse this person for president. It is some of the most abhorrent and offensive comments that you can possibly imagine,” Mr. Chaffetz told KSTU-TV in Salt Lake City.
“I can’t tell the good people of Utah that I endorse a person who acts like this,” he told CNN’s Don Lemon in a follow-up interview Friday.
Evidently the alternative candidate is more to his liking.

I wonder what'd happen if we put Ryan on polygraph and asked the s*nctimonious pr*ck whether he ever used the terms "p*ssy", "spl*t", or "c*nt" in private conversation.
I thought it was a yuuge mistake for Trump to endorse all these establishment d1ck 4$$h0l3 p-55135 to begin with. I kept my mouth shut at the time, bit my lip...

A friend of mine said he thought Trump ought to walk over to the Hildabeest during the debate and deck the bytch and say, "take the job and shove it up your a$$. I didn't want it anyway." But then again, that is just one man's opinion and probably not a viable strategy.

"And I am not taking a position on any policy, but I do think there is a growing sense of anxiety and even anger in the country over the feeling that the game is rigged. And I never had that feeling when I was growing up. Never. I mean, were there really rich people, of course there were. My father loved to complain about big business and big government, but we had a solid middle class upbringing. We had good public schools. We had accessible health care. We had our little, you know, one-family house that, you know, he saved up his money, didn’t believe in mortgages. So I lived that. And now, obviously, I’m kind of far removed because the life I’ve lived and the economic, you know, fortunes that my husband and I now enjoy, but I haven’t forgotten it."

Hillary is so far back in the bag she has to be pumped air.
Morally Hillary kills aborted babies and sells the parts to Planned Parenthood. Hillary left our soldiers to die and then walked off from the bodies when it was her JOB to protect them and the American Flag. She is a Thief and a Liar. And she is so corrupt and rotten she takes Bribes and sells her country for money. She is arrogant and clueless and coercive and PC hypocritical.
HALF of the US population don't care and are dangling from her gimme gimme. And they haven't been to Church in years.
The other Half have bought guns and are waiting for the knock on the door. When it comes, they will remember to count the shots in the mag and to shoot for the center of the gut.
Or maybe not...and enjoy your Coke and a Hotdog.

Yeah, but maybe she's a good woman in all the other departments.

When the govt cannot pay its bills and the EBT cards don't work, the ghettos will riot and self destruct. Then the herd will start self culling. Then people in the burbs will have to protect themselves from foraging gangs. But pres Hildabeest will preside over her Pyrrhic victory. In the next world you are on your own

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.
