More on the subject of the article below, so moved to Lurid Crime Tales so they can more easily be read sequentially.
[TownHall] Government watchdog Judicial Watch has found a number of new emails belonging to former Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton containing classified information and showing favors being done for a Russia connected organization through the Clinton Foundation while she was Secretary of State. The emails were obtained through a lawsuit against the Department and a recent court order.
"The new Abedin emails also reveal additional instances in which Clinton’s then- scheduler Lona Valmoro forwarded the former secretary of state’s detailed daily schedule to top Clinton Foundation officials. The new emails also reveal a number of favors that were requested and carried out," Judicial Watch found. "In May 2010, Abedin tells Band that she has 'hooked up' people from the Russian American Foundation with 'the right people' at the State Department after Abedin received a request from Russian American Foundation Vice President Rina Kirshner, forwarded by Clinton Foundation donor Eddie Trump (no relation to President Trump)."
[FoxNews] A nonprofit legal watchdog claimed Thursday that newly unearthed documents show Hillary Clinton sent and received more classified information on her private server than previously known, and that the papers also show top aide Huma Abedin did favors for Clinton Foundation insiders.
Judicial Watch released more than 2,000 pages of documents it obtained pursuant to a May 5, 2015 court order, after filing a lawsuit against the State Department for failing to comply with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
The new documents included 115 Clinton email exchanges that were not previously turned over by the State Department.
“These shocking new Clinton emails show why the Justice Department should reevaluate, reopen, or reinvigorate Clinton, Inc. investigations,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said on Thursday. “The casual violation of laws concerning classified material and noxious influence peddling show the Clinton State Department was ‘corruption central’ in the Obama administration.”
According to Judicial watch, on Dec. 6, 2010, Clinton shared classified information with non-U.S. government employees Justin Cooper, an aide to former President Clinton, and Clinton Foundation Director Doug Band. The email allegedly shows Clinton instructing her aide to print the correspondence, which involved allegations of theft by Bangladeshi banker and Clinton Foundation donor Muhammad Yunus.
Yunus was accused of embezzling $100 million from the Grameen Bank, which he founded.
In another instance, on March 14, 2011, Judicial Watch says State Department official Maria Otero emailed Clinton information about the Grameen Bank, and it was deemed classified and “confidential” by the State Department, but later redacted.
Judicial Watch claimed Clinton responded to Otero using her HDR22@clintonemail.com account, and copied Abedin’s unsecure email account as well- huma@clintonemail.com.
Judicial Watch’s new emails appear to show multiple Abedin email exchanges from an unsecured server. They also appear to show that Clinton’s then-scheduler, Lona Valmoro, forwarded Clinton’s daily Secretary of State schedule to top Clinton Foundation officials, along with a “number of favors” that were requested.
In a May 10, 2010 email between Abedin and Band, Abedin said she “hooked up” people from the Russian American Foundation with the “right people” at the State Department. The Russia-American Foundation was then staffed by Clinton political supporters, according to Judicial Watch.
And from the Judicial Watch trove, courtesy of charger:
1. Not all emails were delivered to the government as HRC said,
2. Emails did contain classified materials,
3. The emails were delivered to an off-site computer.
4. She lied to Congress under oath.
5. The emails acknowledge she knew classified materials were being sent to HDR22@clintonemail.com account, and copied to Abedin’s unsecure email account as well-huma@clintonemail.com.
Remember during the debates when Hillary was heard to say:
" If that f - - - ing bastard {Trump] wins, we all hang from nooses!"
No wonder there has been so much push back. The Clinton/Obama corrupt ball of yarn is beginning to unravel. Bottom line, this investigation should be re-opened and pursued with vigor or the Deep State will deep-six Trump--if that happens most likely civil war.

Did the Distinguished Senator have his alarm set to go off after seventeen returns? I'd have set mine to one or two, certainly no later than three or four.

A politician's alarm system is rigged to go off when their policies appear to be about to inflict collateral damage to their coveted official titles.

If Rep. Raul M, Grijalva is so pro illegal undocumented immigrant then maybe he should post a personal bond for this person. Any legal costs to come out of the Representative's personal bank account.

We need to deport them after they serve time for any crimes. And send the bill to Mexico for jail costs. It is INSANE to send a criminal back to Mexico who will just let them free.
#9
I was trying to think of a way deportees could be tagged so they would be easier to identify if they tried to sneak back in. Something like a nonremovable tattoo. Of course, the MS-13 types would just make it a badge of honor.
Maybe removing a joint from one of their fingers ...

During the Vietnam war, When locals fired on the S.Korean troops, they'd round up anybody in eyesight and cut off one of their ears. They then told them if they got shot at and found someone nearby with a missing ear they'd be at the bottom of a rice paddy.
[CHICAGO.SUNTIMES] Former President Barack Obama I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody... and former first lady Michelle purchased the home here that they have been renting, the Sun-Times has learned, closing on the $8.1 million purchase on Wednesday.
Obama front man Kevin Lewis confirmed the sale, telling the Sun-Times, "Given that President and Mrs. Obama will be in Washington for at least another two-and-a-half years, it made sense for them to buy a home rather than continuing to rent property."
A source familiar with the situation said the Obamas will continue to own their reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ... home of Al Capone, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel,... home in the South Side Kenwood community.

The Paris climate change scheme was a means of wealth redistribution by the globalists who bouth and paid for phony/junk science results to bless their fake concept. The resulting boodle would first be passed-through the globalist billionaires so they could get their cuts.

We really dodged a bullet here. Looks like Romney and McCain turned out to be the true blue liberals we always suspected them of being. Obama's two terms turned out literally to be the lesser of two evils.

It doesn't seem like the elites really understood the depths to which the folks in fly-over land were pissed. What can be done next to irritate them?

When Trump was returning from his trip, the radio dude announced that no deal had officially been made, and dude used his tsk tsk great deal maker couldn't do what Obama did so easily voice.
I was so elated, I could have been pulled over on suspicion of DUI.
After his meeting with Emmanuel Macron in Versailles, Vladimir Putin gave an an exclusive interview to Le Figaro's Alexis Brézet and Renaud Girard (video) from a classroom of the Russian cultural center in Paris (translated from the French translation of the remarks in Russian).
Excerpts related to the accusations of the Kremlin's interference in the 2016 election: Suspicions of Russian interference in the US election campaign have triggered a political storm in Washington. In France, similar suspicions have been expressed. What's your reaction?
The Western press talks about Russian hackers. But where does the idea come from? When President Trump mentioned the situation, he said things that are quite right. Maybe it did not come from Russia, maybe there was someone who inserted a USB stick under the name of a Russian citizen. In this virtual world, today, anything can be done. Russia has never hacked. We do not need it. No interest. What's the point ? I've talked to several American presidents, you know. Presidents come and go, but politics do not change. And do you know why ? Because the bureaucracy in America is very powerful. The person elected has his or her opinions, ideals, visions, but the day after the election, people with briefcases, in tie and suits with white shirts come to explain how to act as a good president. And changing something in this situation is very difficult. I say this without irony.
So, are you saying that this storm in Washington is based on nothing but a fantasy?
Yes, on fantasy. On the desire of those who lost the elections to remedy their situation by accusing Russia of interference. They lost because the winner was closer to the people and had a better understanding of the voters' aspirations. It's hard to admit. One would rather explain and prove to others that the policy followed by the Democrats was the right one, but that someone from outside deceived the American people. That someone rigged the election. But this is not the case. They simply lost: one must know how to recognize one's defeat, and have the strength to do so. Once this is done, it will be simpler to work together. But today, we use the anti-Russian card in Washington, and this is detrimental to international relations. They could of course quarrel among themselves: who is the best? Who is the most intelligent? But hey, it will pass...

I see no listing of the election being lost because the HildaBeest was a lousy, smug, filled-with-a-sense of entitlement, lying, sick, evil, candidate bytch.

Even John King at CNN has jumped on the bandwagon, he said: “You don’t understand: The Russians cloaked Wisconsin,” referring to Clinton’s ignoring the battleground state until it was too late.

Hillary didn't lose the election because of any of the listed factors; she lost because a sufficient number of Americans figured out that she's a spiteful, vindictive, power-obsessed termagant-- and that's ALL she is.

[SFGATE] A longshot Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, proposal to replace insurance companies with government-funded health care for all of the state's residents could be paid for with a sales tax hike and a new tax on business revenue, according to a report released Wednesday.
The report said those taxes would generate $106 billion annually. It was made public by the influential California Nurses Association as the state Senate faces a Friday deadline to vote on the bill, which outlines how a single-payer health care system would function but does not say how it would be funded.
In a study commissioned by the nursing union, researchers at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst suggested a 2.3 percent sales tax and a 2.3 percent gross receipts tax, which would apply to all corporate revenue. Poor residents would get a tax credit to offset the higher sales tax.
Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and Gov. Jerry Governor Moonbeam Brown ... those who ignore history are bound to repeat it ... , both Democrats, have expressed skepticism about the proposal. If it were to clear the Legislature and be signed into law by Brown, it would need cooperation from President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's administration to waive rules about federal Medicare and Medicaid dollars.

I think California is missing an opportunity here to tax the bordering states just because they get to experience of being next to the most glorious state in the world!

Abu, South Carolina is a better deal. Just about every tax you can name is higher in NC than in SC (we moved across the border in 2008 and have never looked back.)

[BLOOMBERG] Illinois had its bond rating downgraded to one step above junk by Moody’s Investors Service and S&P Global Ratings, the lowest ranking on record for a U.S. state, as the long-running political stalemate over the budget shows no signs of ending.
S&P warned that Illinois will likely lose its investment-grade status, an unprecedented step for a state, around July 1 if leaders haven’t agreed on a budget that chips away at the government’s chronic deficits. Moody’s followed S&P’s downgrade Thursday, citing Illinois’s underfunded pensions and the record backlog of bills that are equivalent to about 40 percent of its operating budget.
"Legislative gridlock has sidetracked efforts not only to address pension needs but also to achieve fiscal balance," Ted Hampton, Moody’s analyst, said in a statement. "During the past year of fruitless negotiations and partisan wrangling, fundamental credit challenges have intensified enough to warrant a downgrade, regardless of whether a fiscal compromise is reached."
Illinois hasn’t had a full year budget in place for the past two years amid a clash between the Democrat-run legislature and Republican Governor Bruce Rauner. That’s left the fifth most-populous state with a record $14.5 billion of unpaid bills, ravaged entities like universities and social service providers that rely on state aid and undermined Illinois’s standing in the bond market, where investors have demanded higher premiums for the risk of owning its debt. Moody’s called Illinois "an outlier among states" after suffering eight downgrades in as many years.
"The rating actions largely reflect the severe deterioration of Illinois’ fiscal condition, a byproduct of its stalemated budget negotiations," S&P analyst Gabriel Petek said in a statement. "The unrelenting political brinkmanship now poses a threat to the timely payment of the state’s core priority payments."
Illinois’s 10-year bonds yield 4.4 percent, 2.5 percentage points more than those on top-rated debt. That spread -- a measure of the perceived risk -- is the highest since at least January 2013 and more than any of the other 19 states tracked by Bloomberg.

I think it is time for Indiana, Missouri and Indiana to form a coalition and liberate Chicago.

To contain the spread of Illinois refugees. Illinois can be considered a territory of Indiana, Iowa (third state I meant to mention above) and Missouri, much like Puerto Rico, until they achieve AAA rating under the guidance of mentally competent leadership.

A day of financial reckoning may soon be coming for Illinois and California. When that day comes, I hope the do nothing Congress has enough courage to tell them to go to hell.

The time that Keynes predicted - "In the end, we are all dead anyways" - has arrived.
The rank and file are shocked that this thing they were told was sustainable forever is blowing up in their faces. The smarter individuals among Democrats and the rest of the left, the public thugocracy and the politicians and the professoriate and the Davoisie, have ALWAYS known that the Keynesian project would ultimately go bust, they just hoped it would be after they had lived a long and comfortable life. The ones living now have the misfortune of being still alive when the endpoint of stealing from the productive and from their progeny's future has occurred.
It was a gamble on their part. They've crapped out.
