Sour Grapes.

Attorney General worked for Bush #1.

 

Hello, Presideta Clinton (the 2nd).

 

You really didn't think that this would turn out any differently, did you?

 

 

It would be the same for anyone of that level ... GWB, Powell etc.

 

"in violation of a federal statute making it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way." - Comey says it was unintentional, but then he proves that it was definitely negligent. But hey, she part of the elite, so that doesn't count. Sounds just like Thailand.

The Washington Post issued a correction to both their initial story on March 29, explaining that they incorrectly reported "that 147 FBI agents had been detailed to the investigation" and that multiple U.S. law enforcement officials "have since told The Washington Post that figure is too high" and the actual number of "FBI personnel involved in the case is fewer than 50":

 

"From 147 to “fewer than 50″ — that’s quite a drop! But if a subsequent report from NBC is correct, the Post is still selling itself short. The real number isn’t 147, and it isn’t fewer than 50. It is, NBC reports, twelve.

 

"The key phrase, turning back to the Post’s correction, is this: “…according to a lawmaker briefed by FBI Director James B. Comey.â€

 

"That “lawmaker,†almost certainly, was a Republican. And if past is prologue, it was a Republican involved with the so-called Benghazi committee,

 

The Washington Post joins other media outlets that have been forced to issue embarrassing corrections after publishing faulty claims on Clinton's emails based on anonymous sources. The New York Times issued two corrections on stories claiming Clinton was the subject of a "criminal probe," based in part on unnamed "Capitol Hill" sources.

 

The media continues to scandalize Hillary Clinton during the FBI's probe, even though legal experts have repeatedly explained that Clinton is unlikely to face prosecution and have termed an indictment "ridiculous."

U.S. intelligence agencies are said to be closely watching Russian online blogs and other postings for any signs that Moscow hackers have covertly obtained the bulk of Hillary Clinton’s email messages stolen from her private email server and are preparing to make them public.

 

A U.S. intelligence official told Inside the Ring that the indications of the email release are being closely watched, although the veracity of at least two postings on the matter could not be confirmed as authoritative.

 

A State Department official has said Russia is one of at least three foreign governments likely to have obtained the full content of the former secretary of state’s server through covert hacking operations. The other two are China and Israel.

 

Russian intelligence agencies are suspected of cyberintrusions that obtained sensitive political information contained in Democratic National Committee networks. Last week, reports surfaced that computer networks of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation were also compromised, also by Russian hackers.

 

Russian intelligence is considered to be the most capable nation-state cyberespionage and cyberwarfare power, and its intelligence-gathering operations in the U.S. are said to be going at Cold War levels.

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former KGB intelligence officer schooled in the black arts of covert operations, would be the top authority to order the release of the Clinton emails, if in fact Moscow has obtained the tens of thousands of private emails.

 

A possible Russian motive for making public all the emails would be to undermine any Justice Department influence in the ongoing FBI investigation of the private email server, an investigation said by FBI sources to have expanded into whether the server was used improperly to boost the fortunes of the Clinton Foundation.

 

Federal sources have complained that portions of the Justice Department have been politicized to support the liberal agenda of the Obama administration, citing a 2010 investigation into how terrorist detainees at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, obtained photos of CIA interrogators. During a counterintelligence probe, Donald Vieira, chief of staff at the Justice Department’s National Security Division, was forced to recuse himself from the investigation. The reason was not made public, but officials said some in the Justice Department in the past worked as advocates for the detainees at nongovernmental organizations and were linked to the CIA officer photos found inside the detainees’ cells.

 

Mr. Putin may being calculating that the release of some of the highly classified information within the emails could be used against Mrs. Clinton to influence the U.S. presidential election.

 

Alternatively, Mr. Putin could use his access to the emails for blackmail should Mrs. Clinton win the election in November.

 

Some intelligence officials suspect Mr. Putin, who was posted in East Germany during the Cold War, may be using similar tactics against German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

 

The Russian leader also could attempt to influence the election in favor of Donald Trump, the likely Republican nominee, whom he has called “bright.†Mr. Trump has said Mr. Putin is a leader he could “get along very well with.â€

Marine to cite Clinton's case in defense of handling classified info

 

 

A Marine Corps officer who has been locked in a legal battle with his service after self-reporting that he improperly disseminated classified information will use Hillary Clinton's email case to fight his involuntary separation from the service, his lawyer said.

 

Maj. Jason Brezler's case has been tied up in federal court since he sued the service in December 2014. He became a cause celebre among some members of Congress, Marine generals and military veterans after he sent a classified message using an unclassified Yahoo email account to warn fellow Marines in southern Afghanistan about a potentially corrupt Afghan police chief. A servant of that police official killed three Marines and severely wounded a fourth 17 days later, on Aug. 10, 2012, opening fire with a Kalashnikov rifle in an insider attack.

 

An attorney for Brezler, Michael J. Bowe, said that he intends to cite the treatment of Clinton "as one of the many, and most egregious examples" of how severely Brezler was punished. FBI Director James B. Comey announced Tuesday that he would not recommend the U.S. government pursue federal charges against Clinton, but he rebuked her "extremely careless" use of a private, unclassified email server while serving as secretary of state. The FBI found that 110 of her emails contained classified information.

 

Bowe said it is impossible to reconcile President Barack Obama's statement that Clinton's intentional act of setting up a secret, unsecured email server did not detract "from her excellent ability to carry out her duties" while Brezler received a "completely opposite finding. . . involving infinitely less sensitive and limited information."

 

Brezler, a reservist who works full time for the New York City Fire Department, was not charged criminally in his case. But he was issued a potentially career-ending fitness report after self-reporting that he sent the classified email to Afghanistan. That prompted concern from Rep. Peter T. King R.-N.Y., who wrote then-Commandant Gen. James F. Amos about the case in August 2013 and asked whether it was necessary to be so harsh on someone who had warned fellow Marines of a potential threat in combat.

 

News of the case was first reported by the independent Marine Corps Times in October 2013. Within days, the Marine Corps moved to send Brezler to a panel known as a board of inquiry to decide whether he was fit to continue serving.

 

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service reviewed electronics voluntarily turned over by Brezler and determined that he had more than 100 classified documents on his personal, unclassified hard drive and thumb drive.

 

Supporters of Brezler have renewed the debate about his case since Comey's announcement about Clinton. They argue that the case shows the discrepancy in how rank-and-file service members and their potential commander-in-chief are treated.

 

The board of inquiry recommended removing Brezler from the service in December 2013 after prosecutors argued that he knowingly kept classified information in order to help him write a book about his experiences in Afghanistan. He appealed, but both the Marine Corps and the Navy Department, which were overseeing it, have upheld the decision.

 

Bowe said Wednesday that Brezler has secured a stay on the decision to discharge him until the end of October, when a federal judge is expected to rule on his case. Marine Corps and Navy Department officials had no comment, citing the ongoing litigation.

 

The Marines killed in the insider attack were Lance Cpl. Gregory Buckley, 21; Staff Sgt. Scott Dickinson, 29; and Cpl. Richard Rivera Jr., 20. The shooter, Ainuddin Khudairaham, was convicted in an Afghan court in 2014 as a juvenile and sentenced to 7½ years in confinement, infuriating Marine family members who wanted a more severe sentence.

 

The Buckley family also has sued the Marine Corps, alleging service officials systematically misled them about the incident. That case also is still pending.

The current shootings in 'Merica are escalating. I really hope things calm down. Next time, and there will be a next time, it could be melt down.

 

Seems that white cops are convinced that any black dude will kill a cop for any reason.... Sad.

 

Just sad.

The Clinton Contamination

 

by Maureen Dowd

 

 

WASHINGTON — IT says a lot about our relationship with Hillary Clinton that she seems well on her way to becoming Madam President because she’s not getting indicted.

 

If she were still at the State Department, she could be getting fired for being, as the F.B.I. director told Congress, “extremely careless†with top-secret information. Instead, she’s on a glide path to a big promotion.

 

And that’s the corkscrew way things go with the Clintons, who are staying true to their reputation as the Tom and Daisy Buchanan of American politics. Their vast carelessness drags down everyone around them, but they persevere, and even thrive.

 

In a mere 11 days, arrogant, selfish actions by the Clintons contaminated three of the purest brands in Washington — Barack Obama, James Comey and Loretta Lynch — and jeopardized the futures of Hillary’s most loyal aides.

 

It’s quaint, looking back at her appointment as secretary of state, how Obama tried to get Hillary without the shadiness. (Which is what we all want, of course.)

 

The president and his aides attempted to keep a rein on Clinton’s State Department — refusing to let her bring in her hit man, Sidney Blumenthal.

 

But in the end, Hillary’s goo got on Obama anyhow. On Tuesday, after Comey managed to make both Democrats and Republicans angry by indicting Clinton politically but not legally, Barry and Hillary flew to Charlotte, N.C., for their first joint campaign appearance.

 

Obama was left in the awkward position of vouching for Hillary’s “steady judgment†to run an angry, violent, jittery nation on the very day that his F.B.I. director lambasted her errant judgment on circumventing the State Department email system, making it clear that she had been lying to the American public for the last 16 months.

 

Comey, who was then yanked up to Capitol Hill for a hearing on Thursday, revealed that instead of no emails with classified information, as Hillary had insisted, there were 110, of those turned over to the State Department. Instead of Clinton’s assurances that the server in the basement in Chappaqua had never been breached, Comey said it was possible that hostile actors had hacked Clinton’s email account. Among the emails not given to State, he said at least three contained classified information.

 

Hillary had already compromised the president, who feels he needs her to cement his legacy. Obama angered F.B.I. agents when he was interviewed on CBS’s “60 Minutes†last fall and undermined the bureau’s investigation by exonerating Hillary before the F.B.I. was done with its work, saying pre-emptively, “This is not a situation in which America’s national security was endangered.â€

 

Hillary willfully put herself above the rules — again — and a president, campaign and party are all left twisting themselves into pretzels defending her.

 

Obama aimed to have no shadows, but the Clintons operate in shadows.

 

After Bill Clinton crossed the tarmac in Phoenix to have a long chat with Lynch, the attorney general confessed that the ill-advised meeting had “cast a shadow†over her department’s investigation into his wife and that she would feel constrained to follow the recommendation of the F.B.I.

 

“I certainly wouldn’t do it again,†Lynch said, admitting it hit her “painfully†that she had made a mistake dancing with the Arkansas devil in the pale moonlight.

 

The meeting seemed even more suspect a week later, when The Times reported that Hillary might let Lynch stay on in a new Clinton administration.

 

The fallout from the email scandal has clouded the futures of longtime Hillary aides Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan, who were also deemed extremely careless by Comey for their handling of classified information. The Times reported that they could face tough questions as they seek security clearances for diplomatic or national security posts. (Not to mention remiss in not pushing back on Clinton about the private server.)

 

“You’ve got a situation here where the woman who would be in charge of setting national security policy as president has been deemed by the F.B.I. unsuitable to safeguard and handle classified information,†Bill Savarino, a Washington lawyer specializing in security clearances, told the Times.

 

So many lawyers in this column, so little law.

 

President Obama is not upset about being pulled into the Clinton Under Toad, to use an old John Irving expression. He thinks Washington is so broken that the next president will need a specific skill set to function, and he thinks Hillary has that.

 

But what should disturb Obama, who bypassed his own vice president to lay out the red carpet for Hillary, is that the email transgression is not a one off. It’s part of a long pattern of ethical slipping and sliding, obsessive secrecy and paranoia, and collateral damage.

 

Comey’s verdict that Hillary was “negligent†was met with sighs rather than shock. We know who Hillary and Bill are now. We’ve been held hostage to their predilections and braided intrigues for a long time. (On the Hill, Comey refused to confirm or deny that he’s investigating the Clinton Foundation, with its unseemly tangle of donors and people doing business with State.)

 

We’re resigned to the Clintons focusing on their viability and disregarding the consequences of their heedless actions on others. They’re always offering a Faustian deal. This year’s election bargain: Put up with our iniquities or get Trump’s short fingers on the nuclear button.

 

The Clintons work hard but don’t play by the rules. Imagine them in the White House with the benefit of low expectations.

Riveting post by black police officer confronts BLM with raw honest

I'm sure there's shootings by all kinds of folks. And I amend my post above to read "some white cops". Indeed most cops do do a thankless job, faced with incalcitrant arseholes.

 

My reaction was to the facebook streamed footage of the girl whose black boyfriend was shot but the white cop whilst reaching for his wallet, the girl remained calm all the way through, the boyfriend later died, the white cop was clearly close to hysteria.

 

The thing that brought a tear to my eye was later, in the police car, the girlfriend starts breaking down after remaining calm for so long, and her kid, was saying, don't worry, I right here for you, - such strength from a child.
