Krauthammer: Comey failed to indict because he didn't want to 'change the course of American political history'

By not changing history he changed it. Wonder how Comey will feel after a Killary first term knowing he put her there?

So if Comey felt this way he shouldn't have torn his candidate to shreds on live TV lashing her for 15 minutes. His job was to file charges. DOJ's job was to drop them. Bill saw to that in Phoenix. "Listen Loretta, I already spoke to Jim, all you have to say is you'll accept any recommendation the FBI recommends."

Case closed. 

---------------------------------

Charles Krauthammer told viewers Thursday on "Special Report with Bret Baier" that FBI director James Comey decided not to prosecute Hillary Clinton because he "didn't want to be remembered as the guy who changed the course of American political history." 

"She would have been out of the race. The entire campaign would have been upended," the syndicated columnist said. "And to me, it's a bit like and I've spoken about this before, Chief Justice Roberts in deciding on Obamacare."

Krauthammer believed Comey was looking for a way to "avoid" indicting Clinton because it "would have changed the course of American political history."

Ginsburg doesn't want to envision a Trump win

So if Trump becomes president what do you think the odds are of him receiving any favorable rulings from this bitch? A case hasn't even been presented yet and the decision as already been made!

Asked what if Republican Donald Trump won she said, "I don't want to think about that possibility, but if it should be, then everything is up for grabs."

Via: https://earloftaint.com

Evidently...so is her integrity.

If the Republican Congress had any balls they would file a motion to have her removed from the SC. And less we forget. With Scalia's death and Ginsburg on life support Killary in all likelihood will appoint 4 to the SC even if she's a one termer! All of whom, I promise you, will be make Ginsburg look like Scalia… and remember they're lifetime appointments. So we're screwed for generations!

 I'm not a big Trump fan myself...but NOT to the extent of holding the WH door open for Killary!  Trump haters beware of what you're in for.

---------------------------------------

WASHINGTON — Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says she doesn't want to think about the possibility of Donald Trump winning the White House, and she predicts the next president — "whoever she will be" — will have a few appointments to make to the Supreme Court.

In an interview, Thursday in her court office, the 83-year-old justice, and leader of the court's liberal wing said she presumes Democrat Hillary Clinton will be the next president. Asked what if Republican Donald Trump won instead, she said, "I don't want to think about that possibility, but if it should be, then everything is up for grabs."

That includes the future of the high court itself, on which she is the oldest justice. Two justices, Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer, are in their late 70s.

"It's likely that the next president, whoever she will be, will have a few appointments to make," Ginsburg said, smiling.

She didn't sound as though she is preparing to step down soon and shows no signs of slowing down. Ginsburg said she has been catching up on sleep since the court finished its work last week before a busy summer of travel that will take her to Europe and, as is her custom, to see as much opera as she can fit in.

In the wide-ranging interview, Ginsburg reviewed the just-ended term during which she lost her best friend on the court and, partly as a result, was on the winning side of most of the high-profile cases. Justice Antonin Scalia died in February, depriving his conservative allies of a reliable vote and leaving eight justices to decide nearly five dozen cases.

President Barack Obama has nominated Judge Merrick Garland for the ninth seat, but Senate Republicans have refused to hold a hearing or vote on Garland's nomination, arguing the next president should have the right to name Scalia's replacement. Even if the Senate were to confirm Garland after the election, the court probably would hear three months of cases without him, Ginsburg said.

And if there's no action in a postelection, lame-duck session of Congress, the vacancy could last the entire term, she said.

She said court majorities this term moved to shut down tactics used by opponents of abortion and of affirmative action in higher education in two major cases.

Ginsburg said she doesn't expect to see any more such cases after the court upheld the use of race in college admissions in Texas and struck down Texas abortion-clinic regulations that the state said were needed to protect patients.

"It seemed to me it was a sham to pretend this was about a woman's health," rather than about making it harder to get an abortion, Ginsburg said.

She disputed reports that the court is taking on only relatively unimportant cases while waiting for a ninth justice.

"It isn't so. We haven't selected them with a view to dodging challenging cases. We take them as they come to us," she said.

But she did suggest that the court probably would not take up a major challenge to the death penalty any time soon. She joined Breyer's opinion a year ago that called for considering outlawing capital punishment.

"There are only two votes so far to have asked for it so I don't think it's likely, if there is such a challenge, that it would get four votes to grant cert," she said, using court shorthand. It takes four justices to vote to hear a case, or grant certiorari.

Looking back over the term's cases, Ginsburg said Scalia's death essentially broke a tie in the affirmative action case, which ended with a 4-3 decision in favor of Texas' admissions plan. Justice Elena Kagan did not take part because she earlier worked on the case when she served in the Justice Department.

Ginsburg wrote a short separate opinion in the abortion case to complement Breyer's majority opinion. "I fully subscribed to everything Breyer said, but it was long, and I wanted something pithy," she said. "I wrote to say, 'Don't try this anymore.' "

She said she misses the colorful, outspoken Scalia, whom she described as charming. "The public got the wrong impression of him," she said. Among the many pictures and mementos in her office is one of the two of them atop an elephant in India many years ago.

Without him, she said, the court is "a paler place." But she thinks she and her colleagues did well to divide 4-4 in only four cases, including one that effectively killed Obama's plan to help millions of immigrants who are living in the country illegally.

Another consequence of Scalia's death was an increase in the number of dissenting opinions written by Justice Clarence Thomas, she said. Thomas wrote 18 dissents. Justice Sonia Sotomayor was next, with eight.

"Thomas always wrote a lot of dissents, but I think he was kind of making up for Scalia not being here. He wrote so many," she said.

FOP wants Justice Department to investigate Dallas police killings as hate crime

The wheels in the Justice Dept grind slowly unless... it's deemed a black hate crime. For instance, in the Brown fiasco, the Justice Department was there before he hit the ground. But in this case, amidst 5 dead cops, the FOP has to press them to act! Remember the Charleston hate crime? Barry played it for everything it was worth even sang Amazing Grace before destroying the confederate flag. 
Where is he now?

I'll cite you a fine example of how this works. Anyone remember the Black Panther voter intimidation project in Philly?

Holder saw no wrongdoing here. So he's either blind or lying. Through his tenure the latter had become his trademark.

Think his findings would have been the same if it was the KKK?

I'll give you another one. Barry made a big stink about a useless Trayvon right? When Kate Steinle was shot by an illegal, who was deported 5 times, where was the adoption process? He didn't even bring up his go-to "gun control" solution to absolve willful criminals/terrorists of any responsibility in committing murders?

 Remember now her assailant was deported 5 times? Wouldn't you have thought the Justice Department would have investigated?

Oh...and Kate's Law just got shot down.

Kate's Law Loss: Senate Dems Block Vote on Sanctuary Cities Bill

And so did the mandatory prison sentence for illegals!

So let's get back to the story and line up all our ducks in a row. The shooter is black. Barry's black, and the impartial head of the DOJ, who clumsily bumped into an x-president at an AZ airport, is also. 

Barry's comments about the police over the years is tantamount to declaring open season on cops with no bag limit. So let's face it. There will be no hate crime charges here. You just can't put five dead police officers in the same lofty position held by martyrs.

----------------------------------

The Fraternal Order of Police, the country’s largest group of sworn law-enforcement officers, is asking the Justice Department to “immediately” investigate the killing of five Dallas police officers as a hate crime.

“The U.S. Department of Justice is always quick to insert itself into local investigations,” group President Chuck Canterbury said Friday. “Today we expect action just as swift. We want a federal investigation into those who were motivated by their hatred of police to commit mass murder in Dallas.”

Police say the shooter in Thursday’s attack, Micah Johnson, a 25-year-old black Army veteran, was angry about two recent incidents in which a police officer fatally shot a black male.

And Dallas Police Chief David Brown said Johnson, killed by officers in a standoff, “wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.”

However, the Justice Department’s definition of a hate crime is limited to bigotry, violence or intimidation based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation or disability, despite the police group trying to get attacks on police officers addded to the list.

“If there has ever been an assassination of police officers that fits the current hate crime legislation, Dallas is it,” Canterbury told National Public Radio on Friday. “Though the main offender is dead, the hate crime investigation will show to the Justice Department and to the country that this was a hate-based crime.”

Police have said the Johnson acted alone. Three others were taken into custody amid the chaos and reports of multiple shooters. However, police have not updated their situation.

That Johnson died in the attack and apparently acted alone could also hurt the police group’s efforts to get the Justice Department to investigate the shootings as a civil rights violation or hate crime.

However, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has suggested the investigation is far from over, telling reporters that police will “continue down every rabbit trail until they're exhausted, ensuring that we eliminate any other possible suspects or co-conspirators who may have aided this gunman in anyway.”

“A hate crime is simply a crime that is committed based on the bias of the offender,” Canterbury also told NPR. “In the Dallas case, it's obvious that it fits within the umbrella because the individual has made statements to police that he wanted to kill white policemen. … That's why we've asked for a change in the federal hate crime law.”

The Justice Department didn’t directly answer a question Friday by FoxNews.com about whether the agency would investigate the Dallas shootings as a hate crime or civil rights violation.

“The Department of Justice -- including the FBI, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and U.S. Attorney’s Office -- is working closely with our state and local counterparts, and we intend to provide any assistance we can to investigate this attack,” spokesman David Jacobs said.

In recent years, the agency has indeed started civil rights or hate crime investigations in high-profile cases in which a black male died when in contact with police.

Last year, the agency investigated the death of Freddie Gray, a black male who apparently was seriously injured while riding unrestrained in a Baltimore City Police wagon, then died seven days later.

The agency also investigated the 2014 incident in Ferguson, Mo., in which unarmed black teen Michael Brown was fatally shot by a police officer.

Both incidents touched off violent and destructive riots, but the agency did not file charges in either case.

On Saturday, President Obama declined to answer a reporter’s question about whether he thought the Dallas attack was a hate crime.

“It’s very hard to interpret the motives of this shooter, as we have seen in a host of mass shootings,” he said.

What did he just say? To the knowledgeable, you have to read between the lines. "This shooter" is absolved because he's black and the blame is deflected on the "failure of tighter gun control".

 "hard to interpret"...?

Take you back to Charleston.
 He didn't seem suffer the same puzzlement over Dylan Roof's motives.

Clintonesque defined

Clintonesque:

Using language as a tool of deceit, clever obfuscation, using language to avoid candor and truthfulness, intending to confuse by clouding an issue.

Usage: His answer was so Clintonesque that it was laughable.

Here's a fine example.

Notice how she deflects blame to everybody else but herself while simultaneously distorting lying about what Comey actually said. An encore performance with Blitzer, telling more lies, to cover the original deception.

At least 5 Dallas police officers killed, 6 more wounded in protest shooting; Obama calls attack 'vicious'

Yes, the cops are not innocent 100% of the time which prompted this incident. 

But for Barry to call this a vicious attack after fanning the flames of racism, thugs transformed into martyrs before all the facts are known, beginning with, "If I had a son his name would be Trayvon" is a travesty. What you see here is not a vicious attack but the culmination of Barry and his sidekick Al inciting a race war in America. Barry has effectively transported America back to Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott.

Al pulling another Tawana

Hands up don’t shoot was totally debunked by the forensic evidence. How many of the so-called “witnesses” who claimed Brown was on his knees when shot were prosecuted for giving false testimony?

If I was a cop, "You want protection? Fuck you buy a gun. I quit!"

Every 2 hours someone is shot in Chicago and no one gives a shit because it's black on black crime. 

Which proves one thing resoundingly...Black Lives Matter ONLY when they're shot by a white guy.

On a side note remember this?

It didn't.

Dallas took this lying bitch off the front page.

-----------------------------------

Five Dallas police officers were killed and at least six more injured in a coordinated sniper attack during an anti-police brutality protest Thursday, an explosion of violence that President Obama declared a "vicious, calculated and despicable attack on law enforcement."

Obama, speaking from at a NATO summit in Poland, said America is "horrified" over the shootings and asked all Americans to pray for the fallen officers and their families.

"There's no possible justification for these kinds of attacks or any violence against law enforcement," Obama said, hours after a pre-attack speech in which he cited two racially charged police shootings earlier in the week and called for an end to bias in law enforcement.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown said it appeaars four rifle-toting suspects were working together, "triangulating at different positions" as protesters marched through the streets of Dallas. The protest was one of several around the country, prompted by police shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota.

Three suspects were in custody and another who had holed up in a parking garage killed himself. Brown said late Thursday police do not know if all of the shooters had been accounted for. One woman was taken into custody near the garage and two men were being questioned after police pursued their vehicle away from the crime scene.

The suspect who killed himself had claimed that explosives had been set around the city, and much of downtown Dallas was locked down while police searched before determining there were no bombs. He died after first barricading himself in at the El Centro Community College parking garage, firing at police and warning the "the end is coming," according to KDFW-TV.

Brown offered no possible motive or identities for the suspects, but a news conference was scheduled for Friday morning.

One of the cops killed was identified as Dallas Areat Rapid Transit Police Officer Brent Thompson, 43. He is the first DART officer to be killed in the line of duty. The others were picked off as the stood guard during the protest.

Thompson is the first officer to be killed in the line of duty since DART formed a police department in 1989, spokesman Morgan Lyons said.

"Our hearts are broken," DART spokesperson Morgan Lyons said in a statement. "This is something that touches every part of our organization. We have received countless expressions of support and sympathy from around the world through the evening. We are grateful for every message."

Three other DART officers were wounded, but they are expected to recover, Lyons said.

Brown said multiple shooters positioned themselves in two parking garages in downtown Dallas and "planned to injure and kill as many law enforcement officers as they could."

A Dallas police source estimated to Fox News that at least 60 rounds were fired over a "large kill zone." The source added that the shooting would have required considerable planning.

"It's a heartbreaking moment for the city of Dallas," Mayor Mike Rawlings said. "I ask everybody focus on one thing right now, and that is Dallas police officers, their families, those that are deceased [and] those that are in the hospital fighting for their lives."

Witness Carlos Harris told the Dallas Morning News the gunfire was "strategic. It was tap-tap-pause. Tap-tap-pause."

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott released a statement saying he has directed the Texas Department of Public Safety director to offer "whatever assistance the City of Dallas needs at this time."

"In times like this we must remember -- and emphasize -- the importance of uniting as Americans," Abbott said.

The protesters had gathered after a Minnesota officer on Wednesday fatally shot Philando Castile while he was in a car with a woman and a child in a St. Paul suburb. The aftermath of the shooting was purportedly live streamed in a widely shared Facebook video.

A day earlier, Alton Sterling was shot in Louisiana after being pinned to the pavement by two white officers. That, too, was captured on a cellphone video.

Other protests across the U.S. on Thursday were peaceful. In midtown Manhattan, protesters first gathered in Union Square Park. In Minnesota, where Castile was shot, hundreds of protesters marched in the rain from a vigil to the governor's official residence. Protesters also marched in Atlanta, Chicago and Philadelphia.

Anti-police protests have roiled the nation in each of the last two summers following controversial police shootings, including the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., and last Aprils death of Fraddie Gray while in custody of Baltimore police.

Although a Department of Justice investigation cleared the police officer who shot Brown, and of the six Baltimore police officers charged in Gray's death, two have been acquitted, one's case was declared a mistrial and three more face trial.

The attack made Thursday the deadliest day for law officers since Sept. 11, 2001, when 72 officers died, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
