[Daily Caller] During a speech in Baltimore at the National Sheriffs' Association Presidential Forum on Law Enforcement Monday, Republican presidential hopeful Gov. Mike Huckabee gave an interesting response to a question about cyber security.
"We've seen just last week what happens when supposedly the Chinese have now hacked into the personel records of upwards of 20 million government employees. The one positive out of all that is that the only hope we have of maybe recovering Lois Lerner's emails from the IRS is to get them from the Chinese," Huckabee joked to a laughing crowd of sheriffs. Reportedly, no one at the White House is laughing at the Huckabee quip. I doubt anyone in the Clinton inner circle or in McLean is laughing either. Today we learned that the State Department has recently classified some of Clinton's emails [obviously after the fact] declaring 'Executive Privilege and National Security' which was a Foggy Bottom move postulated here some weeks ago. I suspect Learner's emails will suffer a similar fate in the days and weeks ahead.
I have suspected for some time that Lerner was a 'focal point' for other government agencies requiring IRS access, not simply the White House. I also suspect Clinton's private e-mail server is now resting comfortably at a McLean, Virginia controlled government location. For U.S. Intelligence to fail to exploit the Clinton Foundation's unique foreign placement and access would borderline on professional negligence. For the criminally minded Clintons, [both attorneys] to fail exploit the cover of 'Executive Privilege and National Security' as a legal backstop would be equally as negligent. Something tells me the utiliity of 'Executive Privilege' was not overlooked.

another reason to elect R's - the investigations should root out the bureaucrats as well as the political f*ckers that pushed this stuff. Make an example of them

The GOP establishment is compromised and will not seriously go after the miscreants. "It's all for unity" BS. The idiots still think they can work with the socialists. Boys and girls, it's the Beltway party and the rest is theater to keep you entertained.

No question about it P2K. All the way to SCOTUS. Roberts has turned out to be a big disappointment to me. They should all just place a (B) Beltway after their last name or better yet nothing as there is no distinction now.

Declaring executive privilege or national security issues on Lois Lerner's emails? Gimme a break. Maybe executive privilege but one wouldn't think of "national security" regarding the IRS--tax collectors?

Sadly, very sadly, I find myself more and more coming around to P2K's point of view. But instead of calling themselves the Beltway Party, it would be refreshingly honest if they would drop all pretense and just call themselves the Party.
What would be most entertaining would be for Wikileaks or some such organization to purchase the emails from the Chinese and then publish the unedited version. Trump has the money. Maybe he'd do it.

Depends on who her other 'clients' within the government were, and what they were doing with the information.
[The Guardian] Lobbying activities of Clintons and Blairs under scrutiny after emails show wife of former British PM sought 'women to women' meeting for US secretary of state.
Cherie Blair repeatedly pressured Hillary Clinton to meet a leading Qatari royal when Clinton was US secretary of state, according to newly released emails that raise fresh questions about the lobbying activities of all three political families.
Cherie's a piece of work herself. No foundation but the same grasping appetite that Hillary has...
The wife of the former British prime minister, Tony Blair, exchanged 19 emails with Clinton over four months in 2009 as she sought to arrange the meeting on behalf of Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser al-Missned, an informal but influential ambassador for Qatar on the world stage.
"Sheika Moser [sic] has approached me privately saying they are keen to get their relationship with the USA onto a more positive footing and she was hoping for a 'women to women' one to one private meeting with you," Blair wrote in the first of a series of emails addressed to Hilary [sic] and released by the US State Department after a legal battle to recover correspondence Clinton had stored on a private server.
After initially suggesting they shared a philanthropic interest in disability charities, Blair added: "I am sure the conversation would not be confined to these issues but would be about the US/Qatar relationship generally."
A protracted series of follow-up emails then detail Blair's attempts to seek a mutually convenient date in both women's diaries, some cryptically only referring to "my friend from Q".
"Great," Blair replied to Clinton when the meeting was confirmed in principle. "When I see what a difference you are making it reminds me why politics is too important to be left to the bad people."

When the urging to meet includes the reference to:" ...shared a philanthropic interest in disability charities, Blair added: "I am sure the conversation would not be confined to these issues but would be about the US/Qatar relationship generally."", I can almost read the code for a willingness to pay the Clinton Foundation serious "donations" for access. The whole Clinton Charity scam has been a revelation for how to take graft and hide in plain sight the access to power you sell. And 1/2 of America believes it, utterly astonishing!

They spray flies as the speedboat glides
And people forget
Forget they're hiding
The girls smile

The snow packs as the skier tracks
And people forget
