Not that I'm defending Hillary, because I am not a fan, BUT the fact of the matter is the whole email thing with her is hypocrisy and "selective prosecution". Can it be seen as technically illegal? Sure and so is jay walking on a deserted street. There was NOTHING uniquely wrong that she did that hasn't been happening in previous administrations. In fact Trump himself uses an unsecured phone for all those tweets despite White House security telling him not to.

Steve,
Tweets are hardly classified and going out on public networks, so no security needed.

Killary broke the law, prosecute her, end of story and no need to say this has been done in the past. We are here today, prosecute!

The Clintons will soon be in deep do do with their money laundering foundations. Their audit was due 15 Nov 2018, any news on it? or the lame stream media ignoring it....spend some time on youtube with the investigations that Charles Ortel/Jason Goodman  have done on the Clinton foundations.

Cavanami, read the below, the lawsuit has been filed, this is a fact, you know, -  reality.

...Three leading Democratic US senators filed a lawsuit on Monday accusing Donald Trump of illegally appointing Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general, saying the president violated the US constitution and denied the Senate its right to approve the nomination.  The lawsuit was filed in US district court for the District of Columbia by senators Richard Blumenthal, Sheldon Whitehouse and Mazie Hirono. It is the most high-profile litigation so far to be brought challenging Whitaker’s appointment...

Anyone can file a law suit, at this point zero meaning.

The temp AG can be on the job for 200 days while looking for a perm replacement...

Two things about Hillary and the server. It is not totally clear she broke the law. It's open to interpretation. 

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-31806907

When she became secretary of state, the controlling interpretation of the 1950 Federal Records Act was that officials using personal email accounts must ensure that official correspondence is turned over to the government. Ten months after she took office, a new regulation allowed the use of private emails only if federal records were "preserved in the appropriate agency recordkeeping system".

Mrs Clinton maintains that this requirement was satisfied because most of her emails from her personal account went to, or were forwarded to, people with government accounts, so they were automatically archived. Any other emails were turned over to State Department officials when they issued a request to her - and several of her predecessors - in October 2014.

She said it is the responsibility of the government employee "to determine what's personal and what's work-related" and that she's gone "above and beyond" what she was asked to do.

In November 2014 President Barack Obama signed the Presidential and Federal Records Act Amendments, which require government officials to forward any official correspondence to the government within 20 days. Even under this new law, however, the penalties are only administrative, not criminal.

The State Department inspector general report, released in May 2016, found that Mrs Clinton's email system violated government policy and that she did not receive permission prior to instituting it - approval that would not have been granted had she asked. Such transgressions, however, do not constitute criminal conduct.

FBI director James Comey announced the results of a separate FBI investigation on 5 July and concluded that that while "there is evidence of potential violations" of criminal statues covering the mishandling of classified information, "our judgement is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case". It referred the matter to the Justice Department, which closed the case against Mrs Clinton and her aides with no charges.

 

It's not a slam dunk, it's totally about perception of the law. FInally, the FBI, led by a Republican pretty much slammed the door on any prosecution. It's not a winnable case. I don't have a horse in this race. I wouldn't have voted for her (didn't vote and being out of the country is not a good excuse). Also, if we go down that road we MUST also file a case against a whole lotta folks in the Bush administration as well as Ivanka and what makes Ivanka worse is she knows better from the Clinton issue. Precedence says its up to interpretation. I appreciate you don't like her (hate is probably more accurate), but it's done. 

I've posted links to similar types of breach of protocal. And we simply can't dismiss Trump's insistance on using an unsecured phone. He KNOWINGLY did it. It's done. The whole 'lock her up thing' is dead and If Trump was serious he could easily have ordered her prosecuted. Why hasn't he? Because there is nothing there. It's political theater. I get that. Either side would do the same. But its just that. Political theater and nothing else.

'He may not rewrite immigration laws': Trump's asylum ban blocked by federal judge

 ...in his ruling on Monday, the US district judge Jon Tigar said legislation was clear that any foreigner arriving in the US, whether or not at a designated port of arrival, could apply for asylum. He also said the administration misused its authority to issue emergency regulations and waive a 30-day waiting period to consider comments on the policy change.   The latest major Trump resignations and firings  Read more “Whatever the scope of the president’s authority, he may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition that Congress has expressly forbidden,” said Tigar...

How dare they! Trump must have paid them.

Tijuana border crossing shut as Mexicans protest against arrival of migrant caravan

...

While many in Tijuana are sympathetic to the migrants' plight and trying to assist, with a local priest handing out donated clothes at the weekend, some locals have shouted insults, hurled rocks and even thrown punches at them.

Carlos Padilla, 57, a migrant from Progreso, Honduras, told The San Diego Union Tribune that a Tijuana resident shouted “migrants are pigs” as he passed on the street recently.

“We didn't come here to cause problems, we came here with love and with the intention to ask for asylum,” he said. “But they treat us like animals here.”

The cold reception contrasts sharply with the warmth that accompanied the migrants in southern Mexico, where residents of small towns greeted them with hot food, campsites and even live music.

“Out! Out!” they chanted, demanding that the caravan be diverted and worried about the impact of many hundreds of migrants and asylum seekers stuck in their city for months.

...

US border inspectors are currently processing only about 100 asylum claims a day at Tijuana's main crossing to San Diego, and Juan Manuel Gastelum, mayor of Tijuana, said he estimates the migrants will remain in his city for at least six months as claims are processed.

He has called the migrants' arrival an "avalanche" that the city is ill-prepared to handle, and has appealed to the federal government – which has already flown in food and blankets - for more assistance to cope with the influx.

“Some of them are a bunch of bums, smoking marijuana in the street, and attacking our families in Playas de Tijuana,” the mayor said last week, on Mexican television. “Who is leading them?”

...

Alden Rivera, the Honduran ambassador to Mexico, visited the shelters at the weekend and appealed once again for the migrants to return to Honduras – a country with a murder rate around the same as Detroit and New Orleans.
