FBI Investigating Security of Hillary Clinton Emails
This is laughable. Think how bad this looks.
Another reason to vote for Hillary.
I guarantee if they investigate the Clinton Foundation they'll find a cess pool of corruption. Take all the Clinton scandals. Too many to count right? So you can just imagine all the one's we never knew about.
Scandal and the name Clinton are interchangeable.
If she goes down in flames it will be because Barry wants it that way so he can throw his support behind Biden. Biden hasn't got a snowballs chance in hell so unless someone else enters the race looks like Sanders will be the nominee.
---------------------------------------
The FBI is looking into the security used to protect Hillary Clinton's private email system, David Kendall, Clinton's lawyer, said Tuesday.
The Washington Post first reported that the FBI was looking into Clinton's private email set up during her time as Secretary of State, particularly the security used to protect information on the server that Clinton housed at her Chappaqua, New York, home. In a statement to CNN, Kendall confirmed that report.
"Quite predictably, after the IC (intelligence community) IG (inspector general) made a referral to ensure that materials remain properly stored, the government is seeking assurance about the storage of those materials," Kendall said in a statement.
Kendall added that he and his client were "actively cooperating" with the inquiry, but Clinton's aides looked to cast the report as old news on Tuesday night.
"WaPo story tonite doesnt change anything we knew 10 days ago after NYT fixed botched report: IG sent ask to DOJ to confirm emails are secure," Brian Fallon, Clinton's press secretary, tweeted shortly after the story published.
Clinton's exclusive use of a private email at State -- and the security of sensitive information on her server -- has been the subject of near constant attention since the set up was reported in March.
Classified information in emails
The intelligence community and State Department inspectors general disclosed late last month that some of Hillary Clinton's emails contained classified information that was not identified correctly. Because it was not marked as classified, it is unclear whether Clinton realized she was potentially compromising classified information.
The story of the inspectors general reports was first published by The New York Times. The paper, though, botched its report and had to alter the story after it first suggested Clinton was the focus of a federal criminal investigation. That turned out to be incorrect and though the Times issued a correction, the story was widely discredited by pro-Clinton Democrats and the Clinton campaign.
Clinton has repeatedly denied that she ever sent classified info.
"I am confident," she said last month in New Hampshire, "that I never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received," Clinton said.
Nick Merrill, Clinton's traveling press secretary, reiterated Clinton's statement in response to the FBI inquiry on Tuesday night.
"She did not send nor receive any emails that were marked classified at the time," Merrill said. "We want to ensure that appropriate procedures are followed as these emails are reviewed while not unduly delaying the release of her emails. We want that to happen as quickly and as transparently as possible."

Hope you're sitting down
Believe me... this can only happen in America.
California city council appoints two illegal immigrants as commissioners
Huntington Park is the first city in California to appoint two illegal immigrants as commissioners, a councilman said Monday.
Councilman Jhonny Pineda
(Like to know what his status is)
appointed Francisco Medina to the health and education commission and Julian Zatarain to the parks and recreation commission, a local CBS affiliate reported.
"Huntington Park is a city of opportunity and a city of hope for all individuals regardless of socioeconomic status, race, creed, or in this case, citizenship," Mr. Pineda, 32, said in a statement. "Both these gentlemen have accomplished a great deal for the city. For that, on behalf of the city council, mayor, and our city, I want to say thank you to them both and I am confident they will do an excellent job on their commission posts."
Are you f**king shitting me.
What message does this send...Come to America illegally we not only won't deport you we'll make you a commissioner!
Are you f**king shitting me.
What message does this send...Come to America illegally we not only won't deport you we'll make you a commissioner!
The advisory positions Mr. Medina and Mr. Zatarain would fill are unpaid, and the men would not have a direct hand in policymaking, CBS reported.
Mayor Karina Macias also expressed her support for the appointments.
"Our population includes documented and undocumented immigrants, and I wanted to make sure everyone could participate," she said, the Los Angeles Times reported. "If we're going to talk about transparency, being open and having a community that's involved, then the conversation also has to include undocumented immigrants. I'm hoping other cities are looking at what we're doing here."
Mr. Pineda said he cleared the appointments with the city attorney, and both appointees passed a LifeScan background check.
They're here illegally doesn't that speak for itself.
The council's decision was met with harsh criticism from residents during a meeting Monday night.
"A lot of residents who I spoke to don't want this to happen," said Linda Caraballo, a former council member, KPCC reported. "I think it is exploitation. Why is it that an undocumented illegal person is told you can take a position but we are not going to pay you? That is wrong."
Mr. Medina attended the meeting but refused to debate the issue.
"I'm not going to say anything," he said, CBS reported. "I'm just happy for the fortune that I have, and I'm going to do my best to represent every single resident in Huntington Park, regardless if you're undocumented, regardless if you are a citizen. We're just going to be working for everyone."
Senate vote to defund Planned Parenthood fails
46 voted it's okay to kill the unborn and sell their body parts.
And look who three of them are!
Choosing not to vote is as good as a no.
If Grahamnesty's campaign wasn't officially over... it is now.
This one's a shocker!!!
When/if they get rid of Boehner take McConnell along with him.
Update:
Maybe I went off halfcocked. Yes he voted no to defund PP but this is the reason why.
That said Perception is reality. In clear conscience I could not vote no to defund PP no matter what the circumstances.

The fight over funding for Planned Parenthood shifts to a must-pass government funding measure this fall after a procedural vote in the Senate on legislation that would have barred all federal funds for the group failed on Monday.
The vote was 53-46, meaning the measure failed the get the 60 votes needed to overcome a Democratic filibuster on bringing the bill up for debate.
Planned Parenthood has come under intense scrutiny after an anti-abortion group released a series of videos it says shows that the nonprofit group is making money off of the sale of fetal tissue, a practice the group denies.
Conservatives in both the House and Senate are demanding that their leaders attach a provision to any spending bill to block additional federal funds from going to Planned Parenthood.
Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz told reporters to GOP should use "any and every procedural tool available" to defund Planned Parenthood. When pressed if that meant forcing a government shutdown over the issue Cruz, argued Democrats should be the ones asked if they supported "continued taxpayer funding for an organization that has been caught on film, apparently repeatedly admitting multiple felonies -- to buying and selling body parts."
Federal agencies run out of money at the end of September, and Congress is expected to take up some type of short-term spending bill next month.
Cecile Richard, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, called the failed GOP effort on the bill on Monday evidence that the issue was a "political non-starter."
"While some extreme Republicans may continue to insist on shutting down the government in order to deny health care, including birth control, to millions of women, that is a fight the American people have zero appetite for and a fight these extremists will not win," Richards said in a statement.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest, appearing on CNN's "New Day" on Monday, said that he has not viewed the videos. But he added, "what the President has said is that Planned Parenthood provides valuable services, health care services for men and women across the country. He would veto any legislation that tried to advance wholesale defunding for Planned Parenthood."
Republicans on Capitol Hill have clashed with President Barack Obama over federal money for Planned Parenthood before.
In 2011, House Republicans passed a spending bill that stripped money for Planned Parenthood, and the fight over the issue came close to causing a government shutdown. Right before the deadline, House Speaker John Boehner negotiated a compromise that didn't include a defunding provision.
GOP Sen. Rand Paul, who pressed Senate leaders for the vote on Planned Parenthood this week, was reluctant to draw a line in the sand.
"I support any legislation that will defund Planned Parenthood. But (I) don't think you start out with your objective to shut down government," the Kentucky senator told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday.
Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, the sponsor of the GOP bill that failed to advance on Monday night told reporters, "These videos are not going away."
But when asked if she would vote for a government funding bill that was linked to defunding Planned Parenthood, she said she wasn't at that point yet, and wasn't "going to discuss that."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, also a Kentucky Republican, declined to rule out attaching a provision to the spending bill in September.
"We're going to discuss how to fund the government after the recess," he told reporters last week.
Boehner has emphasized that multiple congressional committees are launching investigations into the videos and said he is awaiting more facts before deciding any next steps.

Black Politicians Matter
Are Black Congressional Lawmakers Being Singled Out In Ethics Probes?
This only happens to blacks. No Caucasian has ever been ousted from Congress.
What do we learn from this? When your back is against the wall and there's nowhere to turn whip out the race card. Lets take them in order of appearance.

A day after longtime Philadelphia Congressman Chaka Fattah was indicted by the federal government on charges that he and a group of associates were involved in a racketeering conspiracy, listeners of a show on the only African-American owned and operated talk radio station in Pennsylvania called to express suspicion.
On Thursday, WURD’s Nick Taliaferro told NewsOne Now host Roland S. Martin that listeners to The Nick Taliaferro Show tend to be suspicious about “any type of governmental action against an elected official who happens to be Black.” While they are aware of the possibility of “human culpability” by Black elected officials, said Taliaferro, they also believe that “the government has found itself on the shadier side of prosecutions when it comes to Black officials.”
“This has been an eight-year effort by some in the Department of Justice to link my public service career to some form of wrongdoing,” Fattah said in a statement. The subtext being that he was targeted. Was he?
The National Journal reported in 2012 that about one-third of sitting Black lawmakers have been named in an ethics probe during their time in office. And very few members hold ranking positions.
The facts say this: African-Americans make up 10 percent of the House, but as of the end of February, five of the sitting six named lawmakers under review by the House Ethics Committee are black. The pattern isn’t new. At one point in late 2009, seven lawmakers were known to be involved in formal House ethics inquiries; all were members of the Congressional Black Caucus. An eighth caucus member, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. of Illinois, had also been under investigation, but his probe was halted temporarily while the Justice Department undertook an inquiry of its own.
The real fact is blacks commit the most crimes.

In interviews with more than a dozen members of the CBC, an unsettling thread emerges: They feel targeted. There could be no other explanation, many said, for what they see as disproportionate treatment at the hands of ethics investigators. They describe a disquieting reality of being black in Congress today: a feeling that each move they make is unfairly scrutinized. “We all feel threatened,” said Rep. Hank Johnson, a Georgia Democrat, as he sat by the fireplace off the House floor. “If the only reason that you would suffer a complaint is because of your skin color, that is a cause for concern.”
Is Hank Johnson a crook? I don't know. But he certainly is an imbecile! Go here and you won't believe what you're hearing.

There should be a test before being allowed to vote.

Fattah, a member of Congress since 1995, said Wednesday that he was stepping down as the ranking member of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and Science. It is one of the most powerful positions in Congress.
Black lawmakers have not fared well on the House appropriations committee. Before Fattah, former Michigan Democratic Rep. Carolyn Kilpatrick, who served as head of the Congressional Black Caucus, unexpectedly lost a re-election primary in 2010. In 2006, former Louisiana Democratic Rep. Bill Jefferson was removed from the committee and is now serving time in prison on charges of corruption.
This is why she was "targeted".
She could have been involved... it's as simple as that.
Kilpatrick was married to Bernard Nathaniel Kilpatrick, with whom she has daughter Ayanna and son Kwame Kilpatrick, former Mayor of Detroit. Both her former husband and son were on trial, under an 89-page felony indictment. On March 11, 2013, her son was found guilty on 24 of 30 federal charges and her former spouse was found guilty on 1 of 4 federal charges.

Doesn't everybody keep $90,000 wrapped in foil and hidden in boxes of frozen pie crusts in their freezer? I guess you could say he had frozen assets.
And longtime New York City Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel, who was censured 2010, stepped down from another powerful position as chairman of Ways & Means Committee in 2009 on charges of ethics violations. Although Rangel was not indicted, he has not ascended to another powerful position.
In the face of an ethics probe, Illinois Democratic Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., resigned from Congress in 2012. On February 20, 2013, he pleaded guilty to one count of wire and mail fraud and was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison in August of that year.
Some congressional lawmakers have been able to beat back accusations of wrongdoing, including Rep. Maxine Waters, who was cleared in 2012 after an investigation described by The Atlantic as rife with “intraparty squabbles, allegations of racism and bitter personal rivalries.”
Jesse Jackson Jr admitted his crimes and got a lousy 30 months. He was involved up to his eyeballs in the Blago scam of selling Barry's old seat.
Pure and simple Walters funneled stimulus money to her husband's bank. The Republicans didn't have the balls to do anything about it.
It will be interesting to observe how the Fattah indictment plays out. Meanwhile, the question remains, are Black congressional lawmakers being targeted unfairly.
According to this article all you need to know is they were targeted. The fact they were investigated and for the most part found guilty has no bearing on it.
