[Daily Caller] The Clinton Foundation invited the prime minister of Kosovo to the 2011 Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting knowing full well that he had been implicated in a human organ trafficking scheme as leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army in the late 1990s.
"What are USG views on WJC inviting former Kosovo PM [Hashim] Thaci and the current PM to CGI?" Clinton Foundation foreign policy adviser Amitabh Desai wrote in an Aug. 17, 2011 email to several top Hillary Clinton State Department officials.
"Is Thaci still embroiled in organ harvesting issues and is that of consequence?" Desai asked in the email, which the State Department recently released to Citizens United.
Desai clarified in a follow-up email that Thaci was actually prime minister at the time. He now serves as president of Kosovo.

Ah yes, Bill Clinton and the Albanian Kosovars. You know, he fought a war for them. Redrew Serbia's map to delete on of its provinces. Such nice people.

[Free Beacon] The Obama administration has confirmed a large surge of illegal immigrants along America's southern border less than a month before the presidential election that has thrust the issue onto the national stage.
The Department of Homeland Security published new statistics on Monday that confirmed at least 408,870 illegal aliens were apprehended along the U.S. southern border in fiscal year 2016, a 23 percent surge from this time last year.

This race to the bottom craziness by Obama seems like a race into your burning home to save the kids and dog before they perish. Hillary says she will throw gasoline on the fire.
[Breitbart] A medical examiner ruled the death of a 15-year-old boy burned alive in a Chicago alley a homicide Monday, The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office reported.
Firefighters responding to a garage fire in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago found the body of Demetrius Griffin, 15, burned to death, WPVI reported.
Autopsy results showed Griffin died of thermal injuries due to a fire started in the garbage can, which authorities says means he was alive when the fire started.
Polly Sykes, the victim's mother, asked the community's help in finding the killer.

[WAPO] WASHINGTON - FBI official Brian McCauley had been trying for weeks to get his contact at the State Department to approve his request to put two bureau employees back in Baghdad. Director Comey - Was he aware of the 'quid pro quo' in the FBI 302 report ?
Around May 2015, Patrick Kennedy finally called back.
"He said, 'Brian. Pat Kennedy. I need a favor,' " McCauley recalled in an interview Tuesday. "I said, 'Good, I need a favor. I need our people back in Baghdad."
Then Kennedy, a longtime State Department official, explained what he wanted in return: "There's an email. I don't believe it has to be classified."
The email was from Hillary Clinton's private server, and Kennedy wanted the FBI to change its determination that it contained classified information. McCauley and others ultimately rejected the request, but the interaction - which McCauley said lasted just minutes over maybe two conversations - has become the latest focal point of the bitter 2016 presidential campaign. The Democratic candidate's critics have suggested that the conversation between the State Department and the FBI demonstrated inappropriate collusion to benefit Clinton.
In an hour-long interview with The Washington Post, his first public comments on the matter, McCauley acknowledged that he offered to do a favor in exchange for another favor, but before he had any inkling of what Kennedy wanted. The FBI and the State Department have denied that McCauley and Kennedy ever engaged in a "quid pro quo."

WSJ: ‘Rigged’ Was Hillary Clinton’s FBI Case
Democrats are lucky in Trump but the scandal will follow her to the White House.
Donald Trump probably is not helping his cause much with his conspiracy-mongering about a “rigged” election but Democrats should be thankful for small favors.
Mr. Trump lacks message discipline. Instead of scattershot claims that the race is being manipulated, wild conspiracy theories about ballot box-stuffing, which both parties and Americans of decency and goodwill strongly refute, he might be focusing laser-like on the “rigged” argument that nobody can confidently refute.
That’s the argument that Hillary Clinton is her party’s nominee and on her way to the White House only because the Obama administration decided to waive the law on handling classified material—and the FBI went along—in order to assure that its designated heiress would succeed to the presidency.
Google says the question “is Trump trying to lose?” has skyrocketed in popularity in the last few days. Mr. Trump is perhaps willing to be president but hasn’t been willing to do what was necessary to win. He never seriously tried to expand beyond his core support. He never wanted to spend the money, especially on TV advertising, that would be needed to do so.
If today’s Democratic campaign were being fought against a generic Republican without Mr. Trump’s distinct qualities and history, here’s what would dominate the news:
Mrs. Clinton was verbally convicted by the FBI chief for mishandling classified information yet somehow not formally charged.
Her aides were allowed to cut curious deals with FBI investigators that effectively swept under the rug any possible charges against them for obstruction or evidence tampering.
Those same aides have been revealed, through email leaks, to have freely mixed public and private interests, including their own and Clinton private interests, in the performance of jobs that, in some cases, saw them receiving salaries from the Clinton Foundation or the Clinton family even as they also worked for the taxpayer at the State Department.
The State Department itself, during Mrs. Clinton’s time as secretary, operated as an extension of the Clinton Foundation when it came to handling the requests and advancing the interests of important Clinton Foundation donors, some of which were foreign governments.
The latest email leak, likely at the hands of Russian hackers, shows the State Department negotiating with the FBI over the classification status of Mrs. Clinton’s private emails in search of reducing her legal jeopardy.
Here’s what we can expect after Election Day: Democrats will claim that a sweeping victory over Mr. Trump is a mandate for policies that were hardly talked about during a campaign focused on the shortcomings of Mr. Trump’s treatment of women. If Democrats don’t win the House, Mrs. Clinton will adopt President Obama’s strategy of aggressively using executive orders to expand Washington’s dominance of the private sector while painting Republicans as obstructionists.
Those who reason that Mrs. Clinton and House Speaker Paul Ryan have histories and temperaments suited to cooperation and see hope for bipartisan progress will be disappointed. Why? Because of the steady drip of email leaks. Because of new information challenging the quality and objectivity of the FBI investigation.
Mrs. Clinton, like Nixon in 1972, may not get a honeymoon no matter how big her win. The debate we aren’t having in the campaign, we will continue not to have: how to foster a modern state that doesn’t metastasize corruption, cronyism, elites helping themselves. There will be no bipartisan action on things that ail the American economy and hold back its growth. All of Washington will be enmeshed in a replay of the Watergate era, inward-looking, destructive, consumed with investigations and score-settling.
Of course, much will depend on how the vote for control of Congress goes, and whether Mrs. Clinton has an unsuspected gift for creative political leadership that somehow can give the GOP a stake in her success—as Mr. Obama so signally failed to do. Pleasant surprises are always possible. Don’t bet on one.

[Daily Caller] A key operative in a Democratic scheme to send agitators to cause unrest at Donald Trump’s rallies has visited the White House 342 times since 2009, White House records show. Let's face it Bob, Terre Haute is your real home.
Robert Creamer, who acted as a middle man between the Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee and "protesters" who tried -- and succeeded -- to provoke violence at Trump rallies met with President Obama 47 times, according to White House records. Creamer’s last visit was in June 2016.
Creamer, whose White House visits were first pointed out by conservative blog Weasel Zippers, is stepping back from his role within the Clinton campaign.
Hidden camera video from activist James O'Keefe showed Creamer bragging that his role within the Clinton campaign was to oversee the work of Americans United for Change, a non-profit organization that sent activists to Trump rallies.
Looks like he stuck around the WH for some of that beef tenderloin layered with bresaola (air dried salted beef), cheese, parsley, garlic and breadcrumbs. Continued on Page 47

Are these the same hired thugs and agitators who showed up at BLM events, OWS, Ferguson, Charlotte, etc.? The left seems to thrive on chaos, riots, and disruption. Frickin Nazi Brown Shirts.
From his Wiki page: "Bank fraud and tax evasion convictions
On March 11, 2004, Creamer, the executive director of the Illinois Public Action Fund, was indicted in federal court on 16 counts of bank fraud involving three alleged check-kiting schemes in the mid-1990s, leading several banks to experience shortfalls of at least $2.3 million.[4] In August 2005, Creamer pleaded guilty to one count of failure to collect withholding tax, and bank fraud for writing checks with insufficient funds. All of the money was repaid. Schakowsky was not accused of any wrongdoing.[5] Schakowsky served on the organization's board during the time the crimes occurred,[6] and Schakowsky signed the IRS filings along with her husband.[7] The U.S. district judge noted no one suffered "out of pocket losses," and Creamer acted not out of greed but in an effort to keep his community action group going without cutting programs, though Creamer paid his own $100,000 salary with fraudulently obtained funds.[8] On April 5, 2006, Creamer was sentenced to five months in prison and 11 months of house arrest.[9] Creamer served his five-month incarceration at the Federal Correction Institute in Terre Haute, Indiana and was released on November 3, 2006.[10]"

Nice piece of research Frank. Somehow we just knew Bob had connections.
[Dawn] PESHAWAR: Charred bodies of three women were found at an open space early Monday morning.
Police said they had reasons to believe the women had been murdered before being set on fire.
They added that after receiving information about a fire in the Chandmari area of Tehkal, a police team reached there. Police personnel found three charred bodies which were beyond recognition.
The bodies were shifted to the mortuary of the Khyber Medical College (KMC) for a forensic investigation.
Police investigator Riaz Khan told reporters that chemical was used to burn the bodies. He said the bodies were badly burned and at first it was difficult for the police to have any idea whether the victims were male or female.
But after a detailed investigation, forensic experts declared that all the victims were women aged between 18 and 25 years.
He believed that the victims were killed somewhere else and their bodies were later brought in the area and set on fire.
The investigator said local residents told police that they did not hear gunshots in the morning, but they saw the fire.
He said samples from the bodies had been taken and they would be sent for DNA tests.
An autopsy report by the KMC doctors would reveal the cause of death of the victims, he added.
The investigator said the bodies would be kept in the KMC’s mortuary and after DNA tests police would search for the relatives of the victims.
