Hillary Clinton Breaks Her Silence on FBI Announcement

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton finally spoke out Monday about the FBI’s announcement Friday that it is revisiting the investigation into her use of a private email server when she was secretary of state because of newly discovered emails.

“There is no case here,” she said at a rally in Kent Ohio.

“I’m sure a lot of you may be asking what this new email story is about and why in the world the FBI would decide to jump into an election with no evidence of any wrongdoing with just days to go,” Clinton said to her supporters. “That’s a good question.”

The new emails emerged from the FBI’s investigation into allegations that former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) sent illicit text messages to a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina. Weiner is the estranged husband of longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin, and the two shared a computer.

Although Abedin served as Clinton’s deputy chief of staff in the State Department and is vice chairwoman of her presidential campaign, Clinton referred to her as “one of my staffers” Monday.

“Now they apparently want to look at emails of one of my staffers, and by all means, they should look at them,” she said.

Clinton continued, “And I am sure they will reach the same conclusion they did when they looked at my emails for the last year. There is no case here.”

Her campaign released a video seeking to downplay the FBI announcement, and it quickly went viral, reaching more than 1.4 million views on Facebook.

Brian Fallon, Clinton’s press secretary, tried to persuade voters not to be swayed by the FBI announcement. “The more information that has come out, the more overblown this all seems,” he said. “You’re probably just as puzzled and outraged as we are.”

Clinton’s running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, attempted to put a positive spin on the FBI investigation.

“It has kind of revved up some enthusiasm, a little bit of righteous indignation and righteous anger. It’s revved it up a bit,” Kaine said Sunday in Michigan.

On Sunday, Republican nominee Donald Trump tried to make the most of the situation at an event in Las Vegas.

“Huma. They just found a lot of them. We never thought we were going to say thank you to Anthony Weiner,” he said.

John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, has confirmed that there will be no changes to Abedin’s duties.

“She’s played a central and vital role in this campaign and she continues to do that,” he said. (For more from the author of “Hillary Clinton Breaks Her Silence on FBI Announcement” please click HERE)

Homeless Trump Supporter Attacked by Pro-Clinton Mob

/0 Comments/in , /by

There’s a toxic myth in the culture that Christians and other pro-lifers need to debunk. Let’s call it the Seamless Snuggie, since it makes so many people so very comfortable. The Seamless Snuggie teaches:

The Left is the voice of compassion and empathy toward the vulnerable.

The Right is more attached to abstract rules than to concrete human beings.

So the Left is willing to trash abstractions such as property rights and national borders, for the sake of protecting the weak. The Right pushes back, defending the ideas which it cares about more than people.

However, the Left has a soft spot when it comes to sexual freedom, which gives it a blind spot on abortion. It misses the fact that the unborn are vulnerable and deserve protection.

The Right, because of its fetish for abstract rules (such as “Thou Shalt Not Murder”), opposes abortion. It is right, but only by accident.

So the Left is a much better candidate for protecting unborn children than the Right. We need to keep on electing pro-choice leftists like Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine, but quietly try to help them see that the unborn deserve protection — just like illegal immigrants, Ivy grads with unpayable student loans, and transgender athletes.

Freedom Begins Below the Belt

Who wears the Seamless Snuggie? Bishops like Blaise Cupich of Chicago, members of groups like Democrats for Life, and all those “social justice Christians” out there who still insist that they are really pro-life, because while their candidates do want to keep abortion legal and taxpayer-funded for all nine months of pregnancy and for any reason including sex selection and killing the handicapped — they’re willing to offer bigger government programs for pregnant women. Of course, they want bigger government programs everywhere and for everyone, with the state taking ever greater control over every part of our lives — except in the bedroom. Freedom begins below the belt, and ends just above the thighs. So maybe the Seamless Snuggie is more like an astronaut diaper.

But we saw the Snuggie ripped off this weekend, trampled on the ground, and left in shreds on the streets of Hollywood Boulevard. Watch this video, which shows a mob of Hillary Clinton supporters confronting an elderly, homeless woman — who was holding up a Trump sign, trying to protect his “star” on the Walk of Fame from further vandalism. They surround her, assault, knock her down and taunt her. (WARNING: THIS VIDEO IS DISTURBING AND CONTAINS PROFANITY.)

The leftist who originally posted this video was part of the mob, and he put it on Youtube because he was proud of it, as Gateway Pundit reports. That site preserved his original commentary, which sneered at the beaten homeless woman — comments he later took down, before making the video private. His comments were seconded over and over again by anonymous cowards willing to gloat on the Internet over the violent assault on a homeless old lady, an American citizen who was stating her political views.

Life Unworthy of Life

This is the face of the Left today: Intolerant without being coherent, self-righteous without any rectitude, self-satisfied but insatiable. The Left wants to be seen as the face of compassion, but in fact there’s a long list of real human beings whom it has decided are beyond the pale of empathy — people who are, in the words of a long-ago German socialist party, “lives unworthy of life”:

Unborn children, especially those who are mentally handicapped or whose parents are poor.

The “deplorables” who reject liberal pieties on ethnicity, sex, and religion — who make up one fourth of the population, according to candidate Clinton.

Believers in the “middle ages dictatorship” of the Catholic church, according to email exchanges with Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta.

Blue collar Americans who fear the impact of massive low-skill immigration on their neighborhoods and tax bills.

College professors who tell students to act like draft-age adults, and stop pretending that harmless Halloween costumes make them “feel unsafe.”

Cops risking their necks in neighborhoods pulverized by the Sexual Revolution and the welfare state

Nuns who don’t want to pay for the abortion pill

Christian bakers, florists, and college officials who object to same-sex marriage — a practice which both the Clintons and the Obamas claimed to oppose eight years ago.

Religious believers whose stance on unborn life threatens the “fundamental rights” of women, as Hillary told the United Nations, so it will “have to change.”

These are the people whom the Right wants to protect, along with everyone else, by insisting on “abstractions” like individual rights, human dignity, the natural law, and all the rest of those precious discoveries that our ancestors made and defended with their lives — from the Magna Carta through the American Revolution, from D-Day through the fight against ISIS. It is these precious safeguards, not smart phones or Netflix, that separate us from blood-crazed mobs that gloat over public executions, or theocratic rapists who cite sacred texts as pretexts for turning pre-teen girls into sex slaves. The Left has been assaulting such mores as hypocritical fictions for decades, and now we see what results: Naked, vicious tribalism, hatred, and blood in the streets.

I am the Image of God

The pro-life mission I Am Whole Life affirms the human dignity of every precious human being, from the persecuted Nubans of Sudan to the homeless in America’s city streets. I Am Whole Life conducts the “Imago Dei” outreach, sharing food, drug-store essentials, and t-shirts that remind these Americans down on their luck, or worn down by mental illness: “I am the image of God.” Here’s a video from one of those missions, conducted on the same street where that homeless American was attacked.

Anyone who can’t see that homeless people, unborn children, and people who disagree with their politics are really human beings too, with the same rights from the same God, has no place in public office.

New Report Suggests Massive Turnout for Hillary… Among Zombies

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Clinton camp is expecting a huge boost in voting after tonight, as 1.8 million zombies are getting ready to scratch their way out of their tombs in a get-out-the-vote effort truly befitting the greater of two evils running for office.

“What the ACLU and the violent mobs couldn’t do, the zombies are taking care of,” one campaign operative quipped, “I used to have to actually go down to the cemetery and copy down the names from the tombstones. This is way easier.”

Even though the fun of Halloween is over for many areas, as they have already held weekend trick-or-treating events for efficiency’s sake over tonight there will be plenty of action out there if you know where to look. Digger Flanagan, groundskeeper for my hometown’s Red Oak Cemetery, says he dreads tonight more than any other night.

“On the one hand, I appreciate how the zombies pretty much put a stop to pranksters who have been toppling gravestones. But on the other hand, zombies aren’t real neat about how they come up. Nobody really cares about all the work I have to do to keep this place nice for the dead, especially the undead.”

Skeptics claim that zombies don’t have a prayer in turning this election for Hillary, since investigation after investigation seems to suggest that human error is the cause of millions of voters remaining on the rolls after death. But that claim is hardly in line with the progressive push for equality that zombies have been banging their caskets about for decades. One surprisingly articulate zombie told this reporter that he’s being oppressed simply because of the technicality that he is undead.

“If the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights were properly followed, equality for zombies would be a no-brainer,” he said, shuddering at the thought. “Look at this newspaper, voter discrimination is rampant against zombies, felons and illegals, but no group suffers prejudicial social, and economic discrimination more than us zombies. Look at it!”

His insistence was compelling but off-putting, so I shot him with a pea-shooter which just ticked him off. Luckily, I had a potato mine back up.

There are some progressives who clearly are paving the way for zombie acceptance, and there is work being done to compensate loyal zombie voters. Equal wages are, of course, a difficult thing to manage, since zombies don’t want walking around money, just brains. But fraudsters are finding that a massive bank of unused brains is out there still watching and buying into the mainstream media’s lies. Once progressives figure out who’s still watching, they’ll be able to thank the zombies properly.

Happy Halloween. (For more from the author of “New Report Suggests Massive Turnout for Hillary… Among Zombies” please click HERE)

Wall Street Journal: New FBI Investigation Could Include 650K Emails

/0 Comments/in , /by

New information is coming out about the FBI’s new examination of emails that relate to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s email practices as U.S. Secretary of State. The Wall Street Journal reports that 650,000 emails may have been discovered in a computer previously unknown to investigators, and USA TODAY reports that investigators are negotiating with “representatives” of senior Clinton aide Huma Abedin for access to her computer.

FBI Director James Comey’s letter about a newly discovered trove of e-mails on a computer shared by Abedin and husband former Rep. Anthony Weiner has been slammed as partisan by Democrats and as an issue of transparency by Republicans. Comey’s letter came despite a DOJ recommendation that he not reveal the new information publicly, as it could affect the election. Weiner is reportedly cooperating with authorities.

The DOJ’s decision-making on the Clinton investigation has been under fire since Comey decided not to recommend charges against Clinton for her illegal practices. The July decision was predated by a meeting between U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton.

On Sunday morning, Fox News‘ Chris Wallace grilled Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook on the campaign’s false claim that Comey’s letter was sent solely to Republicans. Likewise, CNN’s Jake Tapper asked campaign chairman John Podesta if Clinton was to blame for the email controversies that have arisen thanks to Clinton’s use of a private server instead of a State Department server.

While criticism of Comey has mostly come from the left and the Clinton campaign, some voices on the right have also denounced Comey’s decision. GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump supporter and former prosecutor Jeanine Pirro said that “Comey’s actions violate” DOJ policy and “the most fundamental rules of fairness and impartiality.” Washington Post columnist and noted Trump opponent George Will called the letter a “contentless October surprise.”

Comey’s letter was publicized on Friday; it was later reported that the emails are on Weiner’s computer. Weiner used the computer as part of his effort to exchange sexually explicit messages with women, including a minor. The emails were discovered by accident as the FBI investigated Weiner.

Obama, Clinton, DOJ and the IRS: Are We More Corrupt Than Russia?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Imagine this scenario if you will. The government decides to crack down on a shady internet company, subpoenaing all their computer data. Within minutes, at the direction of the CEO, one employee begins deleting thousands of documents while other employees begin to destroy their computers, cell phones, and tablets, using hammers and fists and feet. Then, when called on to testify for their actions, the CEO responds dozens of times with, “I don’t remember,” while the employees who deleted data and destroyed their hardware are granted immunity and/or plead the fifth. Then, when a government official is suspected of being in collusion with this shady company, that official also pleads the fifth.

“What corruption!” you say, and rightly so. “What an outrageous cover-up! Obviously, this company is going to get nailed to the wall by the law. Their actions and words testify loudly to their guilt.”

Of course, I fully agree, but what makes this scenario even more outrageous is that the players involved are a presidential candidate (and former Secretary of State), Hillary Clinton, a number of her key employees, the current Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, and possibly even the President of the United States, Barack Obama.

And let’s not forget the corrupt activities of the IRS, also in apparent collusion with the Obama administration. (Remember that this deleted email syndrome, along with the custom of pleading the fifth, goes back to Lois Lerner of IRS infamy, she who stonewalled conservative organizations seeking IRS approval.)

Here’s a brief summary of the most glaring examples of corruption and cover-up in the Obama-Hillary era (and I won’t even get into Benghazi here, since that would take us too far afield):

When Lois Lerner was ordered to produce her emails, somehow, they had gone missing — mysteriously scrubbed — and when called on to answer direct questions by Congress, she refused, pleading the fifth Amendment. She was even held in contempt of Congress.

Not to be outdone, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen (and Lois Lerner’s boss) was almost impeached by Congress for his misdeeds and non-cooperation (can one be impeached for arrogance?), and the evidence against the IRS continues to mount, all in apparent collusion with the Obama administration.

Moving on to Hillary Clinton, her “extremely careless” actions (to quote FBI Director James Comey) occurred while she was Secretary of State, and it was only after her emails were subpoenaed by the FBI that she deleted 33,000 of them. (She claims they were deleted previously, but the evidence contradicts that.) This alone is unimaginable.

When interviewed by the FBI about using a private server for government emails, she repeatedly stated that she didn’t remember certain critical details, pointing to a head injury as the cause. (Why plead the fifth when your memory fails you, perhaps legitimately?)

In June, when Bryan Pagliano, a former Hillary staffer involved with her emails, was deposed to testify by a conservative advocacy group, he pleaded the fifth no less than 125 times. (And this was after he had been granted immunity!)

In September, when Hillary staffers Paul Combetta and Bill Thornton appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to testify about their involvement in the email scandal, they too pleaded the fifth. (Why not? It seems to be the thing to do.)

As to the physical destruction of some of Hillary’s cell phones by her staff, “CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin was so surprised to learn that Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s aides destroyed her phones with a hammer, she literally couldn’t believe it.” This is saying a lot when a CNN correspondent is shocked by the actions of the Clintons.

When Congressman Trey Gowdy questioned James Comey over his failure to indict Hillary over the email scandal, Comey’s answers only exposed the absurdity of his failure to indict. Is it any surprise that agents within the FBI were allegedly “disgusted” over Comey’s decision not to indict? (Could it be that Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch were not just talking about grandchildren when they held their famous, clandestine meeting on the plane?)

And speaking of Loretta Lynch, when called on this past week to testify about America’s secret (ransom?) payments to Iran, she refused to comply, also pleading the fifth. In response, senators Marco Rubio and Mike Pompeo stated, “As the United States’ chief law enforcement officer, it is outrageous that you would essentially plead the fifth and refuse to respond to inquiries.”

Finally, returning to our president, there is growing evidence that he was aware that Hillary was using a private email server for government correspondence and that he himself wrote to her using her private e-address.

It is, then, little wonder that only 26 percent of my Twitter followers who responded to a poll felt that we were “way better” than Russia when it came to “government corruption and media collusion,” while a whopping 74 percent of those responding felt that America was “about the same” as or “even worse” than Russia in these ways (respectively, 51 percent and 23 percent).

Of course, the vast majority of those responding to my poll have, presumably, never lived in Russia, so we really don’t know how valid their viewpoints are. But in light of the most recent, shocking email developments, virtually forcing James Comey to re-open his Hillary investigation just days before the election, one senses that we have only seen the tip of the iceberg — and what a filthy iceberg it is.

May God bring everything to light, and may He grant us mercy and repentance. The mess seems ready to hit the fan. (For more from the author of “Obama, Clinton, DOJ and the IRS: Are We More Corrupt Than Russia?” please click HERE)

Mark Levin Demands ‘Serious’ FBI Investigation of ‘Dishonest and Dirty’ Hillary Clinton

/0 Comments/in , /by

Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin blasted Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in response to Friday’s shocking news that FBI Director James Comey is reopening the investigation into the former secretary of state’s email server.

“It’s beyond obvious that Hillary is so dishonest and dirty even Comey couldn’t ignore it any longer. Let’s hope this is a serious investigation unencumbered by political partisans,” Levin said.

The news broke Friday afternoon.

In a letter addressed to Congress, FBI Director James Comey announced his decision to go forward with the case.

“In connection with an unrelated case,” Comey wrote, “the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the GI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as wel as to assess their importance to our investigation.”

“Hillary Clinton’s corruption is on a scale we have never seen before,” GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump said of the breaking news at a rally in Manchester, N.H. “We must not let her take her criminal scheme into the Oval Office.” The statement was met by loud chants of “Lock her up!”

Trump’s campaign team greeted the news with glee.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wisc. (F, 51%) renewed his call for Hillary Clinton’s security clearance to be revoked following the FBI’s decision.

House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va. (D, 64%) echoed Speaker Ryan’s call.

What, if anything, will come from this renewed investigation with just a week-and-a-half until Election Day? Is this the October surprise that will keep the White House out of Hillary Clinton’s clutches?

Tune in to “The Mark Levin Show” tonight at 6 p.m. ET for Mark’s full analysis of this bombshell development. (For more from the author of “Mark Levin Demands ‘Serious’ FBI Investigation of ‘Dishonest and Dirty’ Hillary Clinton” please click HERE)

Hillary Clinton’s Continuing Email Saga Reminds Us That God Is God, and We Are Not

/0 Comments/in , /by

While we await the political fallout of Friday’s bombshell that FBI director James Comey is re-opening the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, there is an angle to this story that will likely be ignored. However, it is arguably the most important angle of them all.

God is God, and we are not.

He gives us rules for a reason, and there’s a reason why He calls them commandments and not mere suggestions. Regardless of what pretend “law” wayward human institutions may conjure, there really is only one law on this planet and it is His. And if we persist in breaking His law, it will ultimately break us.

This presidential election is a painful reminder of this truth. For it is being driven not by substantive issues that will really determine the future of our nation for the next four years, but by this very principle. Three men — Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and now Anthony Weiner — and their unrestrained sexual appetites are going to play the biggest roles in the outcome on November 8th. Not the candidates’ positions on real issues.

Because try as we might, and pretend as we so often do, the real issue has always been character. It counts most of all. Public policy doesn’t trump (no pun intended) personal integrity, despite all the sweet nothings we tell ourselves so we can justify wallowing in our sin all the more.

Whether it’s the predatory and/or boorish actions of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, or now the tawdry creepiness of Anthony Weiner, exposing yourself to those you’re not married to at the time exposes you to more trouble than you can possibly imagine. As well as to those around you, and often at the least opportune times. Our sins have a way of finding us out.

This election is nothing more than that age-old story. Wars have been fought over the unrestrained sexual appetites of men. Like when a face once launched a thousand ships. Kingdoms have been threatened by the unrestrained sexual appetites of men, like we see with David and his son Solomon in the Bible. Families are often ended in this culture by the unrestrained sexual appetites of our men, which is constantly fed and fomented by the perpetual red light district that exists online.

Though we want to tell ourselves what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedrooms is nobody else’s business, or flaunt on a hot mic is just harmless “locker room talk,” the exact opposite is true. For now what Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Anthony Weiner were doing in these circumstances is everyone’s business.

It even impacts America’s ability to do business. Like when the stock market plunged in reaction to the news the FBI was re-opening the Clinton investigation thanks to Weiner’s sexting scandal. Weiner was too far gone to contemplate how he was endangering himself with his sins, let alone the amount of money lost in one day on Wall Street thanks to his lack of restraint.

Similarly, Bill Clinton never bothered to consider he could bring down his whole presidency for turning the word “humidor” into a verb with an intern in the White House. And it’s obvious Donald Trump’s entire life — from the divorces, to the bankruptcies, to the way he’s campaigned on the biggest stage of all — has been an exercise in escaping any accountability whatsoever.

Yet, here we are in the final days before another important election. Caught in the Bermuda Triangle of three men’s genitals, with literally the immediate future of the country at stake.

I say these provocative things not because I’m self-righteous, but because of my own lack of righteousness. Like so many of the men in my generation, I was literally discipled into and marinated by today’s porn chic that is all the rage. I know who Ron Jeremy is. Who John Holmes was. Who Jenna Jameson is. In fact, I’ve got carnal knowledge of all three, if you know what I mean. I wasn’t a virgin on my wedding night. My wife and I lived together before we were married, and we didn’t sleep in separate rooms.

In short, I did everything God said not to do. The only difference between me and these three men is the power they had at their disposal to act out in ways my limited means did not permit me to.

On second thought, there’s another difference between me and them. I agreed to let God go about changing my life, and consented to the painstaking work of transforming me into the person He made to be. Not the person my sin was turning me into.

That work is not complete yet by any means, and my flaws are still there. Sometimes I still succumb to them, too. However, I’m also not the same person I used to be by any means, either, as my wife will attest.

These three men need accountability for their actions, for sure, including being nowhere near the most powerful office in all the world in an ideal situation. Although at least one of them likely will be come January.

But even more than they need accountability, they need forgiveness. Not from us, but from God. The forgiveness they must seek for themselves. We should pray they will seek it, so they can learn as I have that mercy triumphs over judgment. That God’s grace doesn’t mean we escape accountability, but gives us the character to accept it and then the strength to overcome our weaknesses. To be better than we are, and we ever could be on our own.

Christian leaders like Billy Graham used to deliver this message to our politicians, which is why they were often friends to those in power regardless of party. Unfortunately, in this election, it seems as if Christian leaders have delivered every message but this one. How many Christian leaders do you believe are hoping to politically capitalize on the failings of these three men rather than do anything to help them sincerely repent and be truly restored?

That’s the real Gospel, not some seat at the table. Sadly, though, it is a Gospel mostly being silenced in exchange for the false gospel of partisanship. Which means we are likely to continue suffering as a result of the sins of our unrepentant politicians no matter who wins in November.

Election Shocker: FBI Reopens Criminal Investigation Into Clinton’s Private Email Server

/0 Comments/in , /by

FBI Director James Comey is reopening the investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

The news came Friday afternoon — 11 days before Election Day — in a letter to members of Congress from Comey:

In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation.

Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) tweeted about receiving the letter.

Over two hours later, The New York Times reported that “U.S. law enforcement officials” claim the newly discovered emails did not come from Clinton’s private server, but from devices owned by Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her husband Anthony Weiner. Weiner is currently undergoing investigation after allegations that he sexted with an underage teenager.

The initial Clinton investigation was closed in July after Comey recommended no charges against Clinton despite her “extremely careless” use of a private email server to send classified emails while secretary of state.

Comey ended his letter by saying he does not know how long it will take to complete the work of assessing the new material.

Reactions: Trump and Clinton

Both presidential candidates were set to speak at rallies minutes after news of Comey’s letter broke.

Speaking in New Hampshire, Republican nominee Donald Trump said, “Perhaps justice will finally be done,” and that Clinton’s email scandal was “bigger than Watergate.”

Trump’s Vice presidential pick Mike Pence tweeted asking the FBI to release all the pertinent information, saying that “Americans have the right to know before election day.”

Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway tweeted a link to the breaking news story saying that the day had gotten “even better.”

In a statement Friday afternoon, Clinton campaign chair John Podesta accused Trump “and his Republican allies” of “baselessly second-guessing the FBI, and, in both public and private, browbeating the career officials there to revisit their conclusion in a desperate attempt to harm Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.”

Podesta called on Comey to “immediately” release more information, adding “it is extraordinary that we would see something like this just 11 days out from a presidential election.”

Clinton has been quiet on the matter so far, coolly waving and smiling as she exited her campaign plane in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. News of the reopened investigation broke while her plane was in the air.

“What a beautiful day in Cedar Rapids,” she said as she stepped up to the podium at her rally.

According to NBC, a source from the Clinton campaign said they had “no idea” what Comey was referencing in his letter.

Reactions: Members of Congress

Minutes after the delivery of Comey’s letter, House Speaker Paul Ryan issued a statement, saying, “I renew my call for the Director of National Intelligence to suspend all classified briefings for Secretary Clinton until this matter is fully resolved.”

Rep. Bob Goodlatte, Chairmain of the House Judiciary Committee, also issued a statement, saying that “the more we learn about Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server, the clearer it becomes that she and her associates committed wrongdoing and jeopardized national security.”

October Bombshell Aftermath Uncertain

With the Election Day on November 8 only 11 days away, many are speculating how Comey’s announcement will affect Clinton’s campaign — though CNN reported Friday morning that 12.6 million Americans have already cast their votes through early voting.

Business Insider reported that stocks began “tanking” after news of the reopened investigation.

According to Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll released Friday morning, Trump has already been making gains on Clinton in the last week. (For more from the author of “Election Shocker: FBI Reopens Criminal Investigation Into Clinton’s Private Email Server” please click HERE)

CARL BERNSTEIN ON FBI REOPENING HILLARY PROBE: They Must Have Found A ‘Real Bombshell’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Carl Bernstein, of Watergate fame, appeared this evening on CNN to analyze the startling news that the FBI has reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton. He offered some extremely interesting perspectives into Clinton’s reckless and illegal handling of classified information.

Well, there’s no question that the e-mails have always been the greatest threat to her candidacy for president, that her conduct in regard to the e-mails is really indefensible and if there was going to be more information that came out, it was the one thing, as I said on the air last night, actually that could really perhaps affect this election.

We don’t know what this means yet except that it’s a real bombshell. And it is unthinkable that the Director of the FBI would take this action lightly, that he would put this letter forth to the Congress of the United States saying there is more information out there about classified e-mails and call it to the attention of congress unless it was something requiring serious investigation. So that’s where we are…

Is it a certainty that we won’t learn before the election? I’m not sure it’s a certainty we won’t learn before the election.

One thing is, it’s possible that Hillary Clinton might want to on her own initiative talk to the FBI and find out what she can, and if she chooses to let the American people know what she thinks or knows is going on. People need to hear from her…

I think if she has information available to her from the FBI or any other source as to her knowledge of what these e-mails might be, hopefully she will let us know what they are and what is under discussion here.

Right now we’re all talking in a vacuum but I want to add here that in the last, oh, 36, 48 hours, there has been an undercurrent of kind of speculative discussion among some national security people that something might surface in the next few days about e-mails, and I think the expectation in this chatter — and I took it as just chatter but informed chatter, to some extent — was that it would relate to another round of WikiLeaks e-mails, which our Justice Department people seem to be saying is not the case, but there has been some noise in the national security community the last day or two of this kind of possibility of some kind of revelation.

But this is her achilles heel and we have to remember that it also comes on the — back to the word heel — of the revelations about the Clinton Foundation. So the confluence of all of this is bad for her as it stands now but with some knowledge she might be able to stop, turn things around, and give us some idea of what’s going on in a way we might not otherwise know, and also it’s very possible that some members of congress very quickly are going to get an idea of what these e-mails are, and what this is all about, and for whatever purpose put some information out there.

FAT, DRUNK AND STUPID IS NO WAY TO GO THROUGH LIFE: Hillary Discovered Stone Drunk at 4:30pm — Wikileaks

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Yes, should this walking RICO violation become president, rest assured that we’ll be in the very best of hands.

Hillary Clinton campaign aides had a frantic email exchange in August 2015 over who should call the candidate to “sober her up some” at around 4:30 in the afternoon.

According to documents published by WikiLeaks, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta emailed communications aide Jennifer Palmieri with a question at around 2:00 p.m. “Should I call her and talk this through or better to leave with you?” Podesta wrote. “I’m worried she’ll get on with Cheryl [Mills] and we’ll end up in a bad place.”

Palmieri wrote back more than two hours later with a response: “I think you should call her and sober her up some.”

Hillary’s problems with alcohol have been well documented and Wikileaks only confirms the reports. (For more from the author of “FAT, DRUNK AND STUPID IS NO WAY TO GO THROUGH LIFE: Hillary Discovered Stone Drunk at 4:30pm — Wikileaks” please click HERE)
