Watch: Hillary Clinton Says the Unthinkable in Private Meeting With Black Lives Matter Activists

Clinton1web_2831249bBy Justin Koski. In a just-released video clip, Hillary Clinton privately met backstage with Black Lives Matter activists and agreed with their claims that America is very much a racist nation . . .

Hillary quietly listened for more than three minutes but nodded and agreed while the leader of the group lectured her on the nation’s “founding problem” and “original sin” of “anti-blackness.”

Mrs. Clinton defended herself from the racist allegations, claiming she’s always been a proponent of “poor, black and Hispanic” kids.

She then pandered to the activist group, advising them to devise a clear agenda and outline exactly what they want from politicians.

Clinton: You’re going to have to come together as a movement and say here’s what we want done about it. Because you can get lip service from as many white people you can pack into Yankee stadium.

Did Black Lives Matter Organizer Mislead Oprah by Pretending to Be Biracial?

By Milo Yiannopoulos. An investigative blogger has accused Shaun King, a key figure in the Black Lives Matter movement, of misleading media icon Oprah Winfrey by pretending to be biracial in order to qualify for an “Oprah scholarship” to historically black Morehouse College. The blogger says King is white and has been lying about his ethnicity for years.

King is a high-profile campaigner against “police brutality” and “justice correspondent” for the liberal Daily Kos website who told Rebel magazine in 2012 that he was biracial, with the magazine reporting that he is the “son of a Caucasian mother and an African-American father.” He has also described himself as “mixed with a black family” on Twitter.

King has been lionised by the press, praised as hero of civil rights and social activism. He has written extensively about a childhood in which he was terrorised by “decades old racial tensions.” He claims to have been “the focus of constant abuse of the resident rednecks of my school.”

Yet, in recent weeks, rumours have been circulating about his ethnicity. A 1995 police incident report lists Shaun King’s ethnicity as white. And blogger Vicki Pate, who has been assembling forensic accounts of Shaun King’s background and family tree on her blog, “Re-NewsIt!,” has published her findings.

She claims that King is entirely white and says a birth certificate, which Breitbart has since independently acquired from the Kentucky Office of Vital Statistics, names a white man as his father. (Read more from this story HERE)

SERVERGATE: Hillary’s Emails Are the Gift That Keeps on Giving

Hillary-Clinton-email-smartphone-GettyImages-134272681The question of Hillary Clinton’s insecure emails looks more and more like a growing scandal. At first, there was concern her private emails might include incriminating communications about her handling of the Benghazi terrorist attack. Now, it appears she may have illegally stored classified government emails on an unsafe personal server — left unencrypted for three months — and possibly obstructed justice by refusing to turn them over.

A subpoena was issued for her emails in March, which she claimed she never got. “I am confident that I never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received,” she asserted last month.

Eventually, she turned over about 30,000 emails to the FBI, amounting to almost half the emails on the server. But she refused to turn over the entire server, claiming that the rest of the emails were personal and unrelated to her job as Secretary of State. Finally, however, she agreed to hand over the server and a thumb drive containing copies of the emails. Did she change her mind because she had scrubbed it clean of any incriminating evidence? That’s not idle speculation. This week it was discovered that she ordered a book on how to delete emails and handle subpoenas for them.

On August 11, the intelligence community’s inspector general, Charles McCullough, reported to Congress that the investigation had found several violations of security policy in her personal emails, which were mislabeled as unclassified. Doing a random audit of 40 of her emails, he found that 10 percent were classified but not been designated as such. Two were “top secret,” and two more were “classified.”

Top secret is the highest official classification level in the U.S. government, defined as information whose unauthorized release “could cause exceptionally grave damage to national security or foreign relations.” Next down, a classification of “secret” refers to information that, if revealed, could cause “serious harm” to national security. “Classified” refers to data that, if revealed, could cause “some harm” to national security.

Changing the classification is a felony. Additionally, 18 USC 1924 makes it a crime to have classified information at an “unauthorized location.”

If labeled top secret, even if on your personal property, it now belongs to the government.

Clinton’s protege and assistant Huma Abedin, whom Clinton has said she thinks of as a daughter, was asked to turn over her emails multiple times, but the State Department stalled for her, saying she never received the requests, which were sent both by email and surface mail.

Once Congress reads through the emails, Clinton could be in more trouble. Benghazi Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., wants to know whether she ordered security forces in Benghazi to “stand down.” So far, Clinton has not produced several emails regarding Benghazi, which are known to exist since there were 15 in Sydney Blumenthal’s email cache that he turned over to the Benghazi Committee. Since Clinton has already made a sworn statement to a judge that she turned over all the emails, her actions could constitute perjury or obstruction of justice.

A Clinton spokesperson has said since the information was not labeled, she couldn’t have known it was classified. Yet Clinton said at a March news conference she was “certainly aware of the classified requirements.” In any case, former intelligence professionals observed that is no defense, “The reason the documents were not marked is because she never submitted them for clearance.”

Clinton is also trying to claim that the emails magically became classified later. Even if that was true, how would emails go from unclassified all the way up to the very highest level, top secret? USA Today reports:

In an email to supporters Wednesday, the Clinton campaign explained further: “It’s common for information previously considered unclassified to be upgraded to classified before being publicly released. Some emails that weren’t secret at the time she sent or received them might be secret now,” communications director Jennifer Palmieri said.

Federal investigators have suggested that’s not the case here. The inspectors general have said the emails “contained classified information when they were generated,” and “that information remains classified today.”

John R. Schindler, a former National Security Agency counterintelligence officer, writes, “It is a very big deal and less-connected people who do this sort of thing ruin their lives, as any IC counterintelligence official can attest. During my NSA time, I saw junior personnel terminated for relatively minor infractions of security regulations.” Judge Andrew Napolitano similarly observed, “General Petraeus was indicted, prosecuted and convicted for having confidential — the lowest level — materials in a desk drawer in his house.”

Amazingly, some in the mainstream media are dismissing what could amount to piles of felonies, endangering the lives of millions of Americans. A writer for Slate referred to Hillary’s private email server as merely “digital mismanagement.” Major news outlets are simply skipping the developments in story.

“It’s safe to assume,” jokes Schindler, “that Moscow and Beijing know what Hillary’s ‘private’ emails as Secretary of State contained. Let’s hope that the American public will someday as well.” (Re-posted with permission, “SERVERGATE: Hillary’s Emails Are the Gift That Keeps on Giving”, originally appeared HERE)

New Clinton Email Count: Hundreds of Documents Contain Classified Information

HillaryClinton_c0-0-2503-1458_s561x327By Stephen Dinan. In the new court filing, the State Department said it is getting back on schedule for publicly releasing the Clinton emails after falling more than 1,000 pages behind in July, when the need to screen messages for secret information overwhelmed the department.

Now, the screening process is running smoothly, with five security agencies involved in the review. They have been through 20 percent of Mrs. Clinton’s messages, the department said. Officials told the court that they have found 305 messages — about 5.1 percent — that needed to be referred to the security agencies to determine whether they did, in fact, have secret information that needed to be redacted before public release.

“We’re taking this very seriously,” department spokesman John Kirby told reporters, though he refused to call the revelations of classified emails on Mrs. Clinton’s server “troubling” at this point.

The department’s next challenge will come later this week. A federal judge has scheduled a hearing for Thursday, when officials will have to detail the steps they have taken to try to track down all of the messages, and any other electronics that might still hold messages, from Mrs. Clinton and two top personal aides, Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills, who served in the department with her.

Judicial Watch, a conservative public interest law firm that has sued to get a look at those communications, said the department has refused to say how thorough its search has been despite Judge Emmet G. Sullivan’s demands for more information. (Read more from “New Clinton Email Count: Hundreds of Documents Contain Classified Information” HERE)

Clinton’s Shaky Email Defenses

By Jenna Adamson. After Hillary Clinton provided her much-discussed private server to the proper authorities last week, her campaign sent out an email blast to supporters and posted on its website a fascinating briefing to bring all the “facts” about the email “nonsense” together. Yet, the links the briefing provided to clear Clinton’s good name are a bit curious.

If you follow them, you’ll find that when Clinton is given every benefit of the doubt, she is innocent of specific deliberate falsehoods. At the same time, the links indict her for a campaign of deliberately misleading statements, dating to a news conference in March. Consider some of the key questions, and the answers provided by the fact-checking websites cited by the Clinton campaign:

Was using a private email account allowed?

“Yes,” the campaign said, citing a PolitiFact post. Here’s what Politifact found:

“We interviewed several experts on government transparency and records preservation. While Clinton might be able to put together a case that she ‘complied’ with the rules, experts said her actions are nevertheless hard to defend.”

Hillary Skips Public Forum to Tell Reporters That Regular Voters Don’t Care About Email Scandal

clinton-e1439584814871Hillary Clinton asserted at the Iowa State Fair Saturday that average voters don’t care about her use of a private email server as secretary of state.

But the Democrat avoided testing out her theory, opting to answer questions from reporters rather than attending The Des Moines Register Presidential Soapbox, a forum nearly all of the other candidates for president will have attended by the time the fair ends next week.

“We’ll see how this all plays out, but it’s not anything people talk to me about as I travel around the country. It is never raised in my town halls. It’s never raised in my other meetings with people,” Clinton told reporters at the fair when asked about the FBI’s investigation into her home-brew email server . . .

Clinton’s qualification that she did not receive any emails that were “marked classified” is a relatively new wrinkle in her explanation of the use of a private email account.

The FBI seized Clinton’s home-brew email server from a New Jersey data center earlier this week. That’s after I. Charles McCullough, the Intelligence Community inspector general, found two emails he believes contained “top secret” information at the time they were sent. Clinton did not send the emails, but they traversed her server, which was housed at the time in the basement of her Chappaqua, N.Y. home.

Watch: National Security Analyst Unloads on Hillary Over Email Scandal

Clinton_c0-259-4930-3132_s561x327By Jamie Weinstein. Hillary Clinton’s email scandal should disqualify her from the Oval Office.

At least so says former CIA operative and CNN national security analyst Bob Baer, who is not known for being a political partisan.

“If this was on her server and it got into her smart phone, there’s a big problem there,” Baer said during an appearance on CNN International Saturday, noting that the sensitivity of the information reportedly found on Clinton’s private server was likely more secret than what Edward Snowden pilfered.

“Seriously, if I had sent a document like this over the open Internet I’d get fired the same day, escorted to the door and gone for good — and probably charged with mishandling classified information,” Baer said.

Number of Hillary Clinton’s Emails Flagged for Classified Data Has Grown to This Number

By John Solomon. While media coverage has focused on a half-dozen of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s personal emails containing sensitive intelligence, the total number of her private emails identified by an ongoing State Department review as having contained classified data has ballooned to 60, officials told The Washington Times.

That figure is current through the end of July and is likely to grow as officials wade through a total of 30,000 work-related emails that passed through her personal email server, officials said. The process is expected to take months.

The 60 emails are among those that have been reviewed and cleared for release under the Freedom of Information Act as part of a open-records lawsuit. Some of the emails have multiple redactions for classified information.

Among the first 60 flagged emails, nearly all contained classified secrets at the lowest level of “confidential” and one contained information at the intermediate level of “secret,” officials told the Times.

Those 60 emails do not include two emails identified in recent days by Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III as containing “top-secret” information possibly derived from Pentagon satellites, drones or intercepts, which is some of the nation’s most sensitive secrets.

CLINTON CRIME FAMILY COMICS: Hillary’s 5 Funniest Email Lies

New York, Hillary Rodham ClintonAnother instant classic by our long-suffering summer intern @BiffSpackle, based upon an editorial by The New York Post:

150816-clinton-crime-comix-5-funniest-lies

On Fox News the other day, blogger and counterterror analyst John Schindler explained the ramifications of Clinton’s actions.

And if Vegas had a line on it, my guess is that longtime aides Huma Abedin and/or Cheryl Mills illegally removed the classification markings from the emails destined for Hillary, so she could always claim she didn’t know they contained TOP SECRET information. And each such action is a felony, too. (Re-posted with permission, “CLINTON CRIME FAMILY COMICS: Hillary’s 5 Funniest Email Lies”, originally appeared HERE)

Poll: Majority Believe Clinton Lied About Emails

GettyImages-484059782-Hillary-Clinton-SnapchatBy Mark Hensch. A majority of Americans believe Hillary Clinton lied about having sensitive national intelligence on her private email server, a new poll finds.

Fifty-eight percent of voters believe Clinton “knowingly lied” last March by claiming her personal email server lacked any classified information, according to a Fox News poll released a Friday.

Another 33 percent believe there is “another explanation” for having “top-secret” information on the device.

Most also think the Democratic presidential candidate endangered the U.S. by using a private server while at the State Department.

The poll found that 54 percent feel Clinton’s use of the device jeopardized national security, while 37 percent don’t think her decision threatened America’s safety. (Read more from “Poll: Majority Believe Clinton Lied About Emails” HERE)

Top Secret Clinton Emails Include Drone Talk

By Bradley Klapper and Ken Dilanian. Neither of the two emails sent to Hillary Rodham Clinton now labeled by intelligence agencies as “top secret” contained information that would jump out to experts as particularly sensitive, according to several government officials.

One included a discussion of a U.S. drone strike, part of a covert program that is widely known and discussed. A second conversation could have improperly referred to highly classified material, but it also could have reflected information collected independently, U.S. officials who have reviewed the correspondence told The Associated Press.

Still, it’s looking increasingly likely the issue of whether Clinton mishandled classified information on her home-brew email server will have significant political implications in the 2016 presidential campaign.

Clinton, who has been seen from the outset as the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, agreed this week to turn over to the FBI the private server she used as secretary of state. And Republicans in Congress have seized on the involvement of federal law enforcement in the matter as a sign she was negligent in handling the nation’s secrets.

On Monday, the inspector general for the 17 spy agencies that make up what is known as the intelligence community told Congress that two of 40 emails, in a random sample of 30,000 messages that Clinton gave the State Department for review, contained information deemed “Top Secret,” one of the government’s highest levels of classification.

Clinton’s Team Went From Nonchalant to Nervous Over E-Mail Controversy

By Carol D. Leonnig, Karen Tumulty and Rosalind S. Helderman. Late last month, Hillary Rodham Clinton stood before a line of television cameras at a rural Iowa campaign stop to deny reports that she had sent sensitive information over her private e-mail system.

“I’m confident that I never sent or received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received,” Clinton said, dismissing claims to the contrary by federal intelligence officials as a bureaucratic dispute over what qualifies as classified.

The view from inside Clinton’s presidential campaign team was much the same: Clinton had done what she needed to do, there was nothing of real concern regarding the e-mails and, mostly, the whole matter was an annoyance in her efforts to win the White House.

The next week, however, law enforcement officials became interested, and the campaign’s apparent lack of concern began to turn into a sense of anxiety.

“They’re worried about it,” said a longtime Clinton adviser and confidant who agreed to discuss the mood of the campaign team only on the condition of anonymity. “They don’t know where it goes. That’s the problem.” (Read more from this story HERE)

F.B.I. Tracking Path of Classified Email From State Dept. To Hillary Clinton

By Michael S. Schdmidt and David E. Sanger. F.B.I. agents investigating Hillary Rodham Clinton’s private email server are seeking to determine who at the State Department passed highly classified information from secure networks to Mrs. Clinton’s personal account, according to law enforcement and diplomatic officials and others briefed on the investigation.

To track how the information flowed, agents will try to gain access to the email accounts of many State Department officials who worked there while Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state, the officials said. State Department employees apparently circulated the emails on unclassified systems in 2009 and 2011, and some were ultimately forwarded to Mrs. Clinton.

They were not marked as classified, the State Department has said, and it is unclear whether its employees knew the origin of the information.

The F.B.I. is also trying to determine whether foreign powers, especially China or Russia, gained access to Mrs. Clinton’s private server, although at this point, any security breaches are speculation.

Law enforcement officials have said that Mrs. Clinton, who is seeking the 2016 Democratic nomination for president, is not a target of the investigation, and she has said there is no evidence that her account was hacked. There has also been no evidence that she broke the law, and many specialists believe the occasional appearance of classified information in her account was probably of marginal consequence.

Hillary Clinton Jokes About Snapchat’s Disappearing Messages at Iowa Speech

By Ken Thomas. Hillary Rodham Clinton fiercely defended her use of a private email server as President Barack Obama’s secretary of state in a speech before influential Iowa Democrats on Friday, but made light of the simmering controversy as well.

The appearance at the annual Wing Ding, a Democratic fundraiser in northern Iowa that attracted three other presidential candidates, came days after she agreed to turn over to the FBI the private server she used as secretary of state. Republicans assert she was negligent in handling the nation’s secrets.

Clinton offered a light take on the email probe when she talked about launching a Snapchat social media account. “I love it,” she said. “Those messages disappear all by themselves.”

More seriously, she said she would “do my part to provide transparency to Americans — that’s why I’m insisting 55,000 pages of my emails be published as soon as possible” and turned over the server, Clinton said “I won’t pretend that this is anything other than what it is: the same old partisan games we’ve seen so many times before,” she said.

“So I don’t care how many super PACs and Republicans pile on. I’ve been fighting for families and underdogs my entire life and I’m not going to stop now.” (Read more from this story HERE)

The Countless Crimes of Hillary Clinton: Special Prosecutor Needed Now

2B4A3BC200000578-0-image-a-1_1439481800089By Sidney Powell. After years of holding herself above the law, telling lie after lie, and months of flat-out obstruction, Hillary Clinton has finally produced to the FBI her server and three thumb drives. Apparently, the server has been professionally wiped clean of any useable information, and the thumb drives contain only what she selectively culled. Myriad criminal offenses apply to this conduct.

Anyone with knowledge of government workings has known from inception that Hillary’s communications necessarily would contain classified and national security related information. Thanks to the Inspector General for the Intelligence Community, it is now beyond dispute that she had ultra-Top Secret information and more that should never have left the State Department.

Equal to Ms. Clinton’s outrageous misconduct is that of the entire federal law enforcement community. It has long chosen to be deliberately blind to these flagrant infractions of laws designed to protect national security—laws for which other people, even reporters, have endured atrocious investigations, prosecutions, and some served years in prison for comparatively minor infractions.

It’s high time for a special prosecutor to be named to conduct a full investigation into Ms. Clinton’s likely commission of multiple felonies, including a conspiracy with Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, and possibly others, to violate multiple laws.

While the FBI and Department of Justice have willfully ignored Hillary Clinton’s outrageous conduct, they didn’t hesitate a minute to investigate and prosecute former CIA Director and national hero, General Petraeus. He was just tarred, feathered and ridden out of the CIA on a rail for sharing some information (his own notebook) with his biographer who was both in the military and had a top secret clearance. Yet, Petraeus did not have a secret server set up to house his classified and top secret information or digital satellite imagery; he destroyed nothing; and, there was no “leak.” But that’s not all.

Intelligence Community Wants Clinton’s Security Clearance Suspended

By Rowan Scarborough. Security experts say that if Hillary Rodham Clinton retained her government security clearance when she left the State Department, as is normal practice, it should be suspended now that it is known her unprotected private email server contained top secret material.

“Standard procedure is that when there is evidence of a security breach, the clearance of the individual is suspended in many, but not all, cases,” said retired Army Lt. Gen. William Boykin, who was deputy undersecretary of defense for intelligence in the George W. Bush administration. “This rises to the level of requiring a suspension.”

A State Department official declined to comment on whether Mrs. Clinton still holds her clearance or whether it is under review by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, which awards and suspends security clearances.

“The department does not comment on individuals’ security clearance status,” the official said.

Mrs. Clinton is the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. A campaign spokesman did not reply to a query, but she did get a vote of support from a key congressional Democrat. (Read more from “Intelligence Community Wants Clinton’s Security Clearance Suspended” HERE)

Tech Company Which Maintained Hillary’s Secret Server Was Sued for ‘Illegally Accessing’ Database

By Daniel Bates. The Internet company used by Hillary Clinton to maintain her private server was sued for stealing dozens of phone lines including some which were used by the White House.

Platte River Networks is said to have illegally accessed the master database for all US phone numbers.

It also seized 390 lines in a move that created chaos across the US government.

Among the phone numbers which the company took – which all suddenly stopped working – were lines for White House military support desks, the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy, a lawsuit claims.

Others were the main numbers for major financial institutions, hospitals and the help desk number for T2 Communications, the telecom firm which owned them. (Read more from this story HERE)

Clinton Aides Vow Not to Destroy Emails

Key Speakers At The Clinton Global InitiativeTwo top aides to Hillary Clinton gave assurances to a federal judge Wednesday that they will not delete any emails or other records related to their work at the State Department during Clinton’s tenure as America’s top diplomat.

Lawyers for former Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills and Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin told the State Department they would abide by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan’s request that they not erase any copies of federal records in their possession.

In addition, Clinton lawyer David Kendall confirmed that a Colorado technology firm on Wednesday turned over to the Justice Department the private server which housed Clinton’s emails while she served as secretary of state. He also said he’d produced three thumb drives with Clinton’s digital copies of emails she gave State in paper form last December.

“We have voluntarily provided to the Department of Justice on August 6, 2015, the .pst file containing electronic copies of the 55,000 pages of emails on a thumb drive (along with two copies), which had been securely stored in my possession, after receiving from the Department of Justice an assurance that it would maintain this file in an appropriately secure manner and the Department’s opinion that such maintenance would satisfy any preservation obligations I am under,” Kendall wrote Wednesday to Undersecretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy.

“Similarly, Platte River Networks is today providing to the Department of Justice the server and related equipment on which emails to and from Secretary Clinton’s clintonemail.com were stored from 2009-2013 and which PRN took possession of in 2013,” Kendall added. “This is following the Department of Justice’s assurances to us and to counsel for PRN that it would maintain this equipment in an appropriately secure manner.” (Read more from “Clinton Aides Vow Not to Destroy Emails” HERE)

Hillary Clinton to Turn Over Private Email Server to Justice Department

downloadBy Elise Labbot. Hillary Clinton agreed to turn over her private email server to authorities on Tuesday, the same day an intelligence community inspector general told congressional committees that at least five emails from the server did contain classified information.

The decision to hand over the server, as well as a thumb drive of all her work-related emails to the Justice Department, represents an effort to blunt an expanding probe into the use of a private email account.

Clinton, now the Democratic presidential front-runner, “directed her team to give her email server that was used during her tenure as (Secretary of State) to the Department of Justice, as well as a thumb drive containing copies of her emails already provided to the State Department,” her spokesman, Nick Merrill, told CNN early Tuesday evening. “She pledged to cooperate with the government’s security inquiry, and if there are more questions, we will continue to address them.”

Merrill said in the meantime, Clinton’s team “has worked with the State Department to ensure her emails are stored in a safe and secure manner.”

The FBI, which is handling the matter, declined to comment Tuesday evening. David E. Kendall, Clinton’s lawyer, did not immediately return messages seeking comment. (Read more from “Hillary Clinton to Turn Over Private Email Server to Justice Department” HERE)

Hillary Clinton Swears: I Turned Over All My Required E-Mails

By Rosalind S. Helderman. Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton, facing questions over her use of a private e-mail system while secretary of state, signed a statement over the weekend declaring “under penalty of perjury” that she has turned over to the government all of the e-mails that were federal records.

The statement, which the State Department submitted to a federal court Monday, matches what she and her campaign have said for months about her exclusive use of a private e-mail account and server to conduct public business.

But it comes as Republicans have charged that Clinton may have withheld some correspondence that should have been part of the public record.

Clinton’s e-mail practices have also drawn scrutiny in recent days from the FBI, which is examining the security of the setup in the wake of a finding by government officials that classified material was sent through the system. Officials have said that Clinton is not a target of the investigation.

In a statement that begins, “I, Hillary Rodham Clinton, declare under penalty of perjury that the following is true and correct,” Clinton also acknowledges that her top aide, Huma Abedin, used an account on the same private domain for public business. She states that another aide, Cheryl Mills, did not use the domain, ­clintonemail.com. (Read more from this story HERE)
