Clinton called for 'open trade and open borders' in private, paid speeches






The MSM made it their crusade to make sure all of America knows about Trump's sexual escapades but Killary's 'wet dream' of open borders will get little play.

Are you more concerned about Trump's sex life ...or having a country with no borders?

WikiLeaks appears to reveal Clinton's Wall Street speeches





Hillary Clinton told bankers behind closed doors that she favored "open trade and open borders" and said Wall Street executives were best-positioned to help reform the U.S. financial sector, according to transcripts of her private, paid speeches leaked Friday.

The leaks were the result of another email hacking intended to influence the presidential election.

Excerpts of the speeches given in the years before her 2016 presidential campaign included some blunt and unguarded remarks to her private audiences, which collectively had paid her at least $26.1 million in speaking fees. Clinton had refused to release transcripts of the speeches, despite repeated calls to do so by her primary opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders.





The excerpts were included in emails exchanged among her political staff, including Campaign Chairman John Podesta, whose email account was hacked. The WikiLeaks organization posted what it said were thousands of Podesta's emails. It wasn't immediately clear who had hacked Podesta's emails, though the breach appeared to cover years of messages, some sent as recently as last month.

Among the emails was a compilation of excerpts from Clinton's paid speeches in 2013 and 2014. It appeared campaign staff had read all Clinton's speeches and identified passages that could be potentially problematic for the candidate if they were to become public.


Typical Clinton-- the trend is your friend:


Wow...what a f------ turn of events!

Isn't it worse now than in 1995? Were we pressing 1 for English?



One excerpt put Clinton squarely in the free-trade camp, a position she has retreated on significantly during the 2016 election. In a talk to a Brazilian bank in 2013, she said her "dream" is "a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders" and asked her audience to think of what doubling American trade with Latin America "would mean for everybody in this room."

Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, has made opposition to trade deals a cornerstone of his campaign.

Podesta posted a series of tweets Friday night, calling the disclosures a Russian hack and raising questions about whether some of the documents could have been altered.

"I'm not happy about being hacked by the Russians in their quest to throw the election to Donald Trump," Podesta wrote. "Don't have time to figure out which docs are real and which are faked."

Podesta's comments came just hours after U.S. officials publicly accused the Russian government of directing cyberattacks on political organizations and American citizens in an attempt to interfere with U.S. elections.

The joint statement from the office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Homeland Security Department cited disclosures of "alleged hacked emails" on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks as being "consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts."

The statement didn't refer by name to the affected political institutions, but federal authorities are investigating cyberattacks on the computer systems of the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said in a statement, "It's not hard to see why she fought so hard to keep her transcripts of speeches to Wall Street banks paying her millions of dollars secret."

The emails released Friday included exchanges between Podesta and other Clinton insiders, including campaign manager Robby Mook. Most were routine, including drafts of Clinton speeches, suggested talking points for campaign surrogates and suggested tweets to be sent out from Clinton's account.

The excerpts include quotes from an October 2013 speech at an event sponsored by Goldman Sachs, in which Clinton conceded that presidential candidates need the financial backing of Wall Street to mount a competitive national campaign.

"Running for office in our country takes a lot of money, and candidates have to go out and raise it," Clinton said. "New York is probably the leading site for contributions for fundraising for candidates on both sides of the aisle, and it's also our economic center. And there are a lot of people here who should ask some tough questions before handing over campaign contributions to people who were really playing chicken with our whole economy."

In the same speech, Clinton was also deferential to the New York finance industry, exhorting wealthy donors to use their political clout for patriotic rather than personal benefit. She also spoke of the need to include Wall Street perspectives in financial reform.

"The people that know the industry better than anybody are the people who work in the industry," Clinton said.

In an April 2013 speech to the National Multifamily Housing Council, Clinton said politicians must balance "both a public and a private position" while making deals. Clinton gave an example from the movie "Lincoln," and the deal-making that went into passage of the 13th Amendment, a process she compared to sausage-making.

"It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be," Clinton said. "But if everybody's watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position."

Clinton's speeches often touched on technology and privacy. In an April 2014 speech to JPMorgan, she denounced National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden for going abroad, saying, "if he really cared about raising some of these issues and stayed right here in the United States, there's a lot of whistleblower protections."

But she told her audience that her time in the public eye left her sympathetic to privacy concerns.

"As somebody who has had my privacy scrutinized and violated for decades, I'm all for privacy, believe me," she said.

Speaking on international affairs, Clinton's comments were largely in line with her positions as secretary of state, if sometimes more blunt.

"The Saudis have exported more extreme ideology than any other place on Earth over the course of the last 30 years," she told the Jewish United Fund at a 2013 dinner.

The speech transcripts were produced under an agreement Clinton routinely imposed on any organization that hired her to speak. The contracts, such as ones crafted by the Harry Walker Agency, required the organizations to hire, at their own expense, a stenographer who would provide the transcripts to Clinton and not keep copies for themselves.

In some cases, the contracts themselves were obtained by news organizations under public records laws because Clinton was being paid to speak by public universities or colleges.

Let's play 'who lost more money': Trump or Hillary?





On a tip from Ed Kilbane










October 4, 2016


Hillary says she can't understand how anyone in business could ever lose $1 billion in a single year, yet somehow, according to an inspector general's report, the State Department misplaced $6 billion of taxpayer money because of inadequate internal controls. Most of the sum was lost during Hillary's four years.

(Lost or donated to the CF)

Hillary's losses cost the taxpayers much more than Trump's. She didn't just lose $1 billion in one year; she lost an average of over $1.5 billion for four straight years. 

Do we want someone to be president who has been so careless with public funds – who, according to the FBI, was extremely careless with classified information? The FBI director couldn't be sure that she understood the nation's security laws, and apparently that is the only reason she wasn't charged.

Ben & Jerry’s declare support for Black Lives Matter, calls for ice cream boycott ensue









The Vermont creamy released "Empower Mint," a refreshing mint ice cream with a real political message, this spring. 

Ben & Jerry’s has never shied away from weighing in on prominent social and political causes. Now the Vermont-based creamery has officially weighed in one of America’s most contentious movements: Black Lives Matter.

On Thursday, the ice cream maker sent out a Tweet proclaiming solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement.

"Black Lives Matter. Choosing to be silent in the face of such injustice is not an option."

New flavor coming soon.

Chocolate Choke 'A la mode





The Resurrection... summer 2017.




The Tweet, which has been liked over 30,000 times, was accompanied by a lengthy statement on systemic and institutionalized racism and called for others to join their cause by not standing idly by and to engage in meaningful action.

“Systemic and institutionalized racism are the defining civil rights and social justice issues of our time,” says the statement signed by Your Friends at Ben & Jerry’s. “We’ve come to understand that to be silent about the violence and threats to the lives and well-being of Black people is to be complicit in that violence and those threats.”

The statement also specifically references the recent police officer shooting death of an African-American man in Charlotte, and links to a separate landing page on the company's website titled "7 Ways We Know Systemic Racism Is Real."

As soon as the statement was posted, Ben & Jerry’s social media pages were flooded with comments. Many celebrated the company for taking a firm stance on a controversial matter.

But others who claimed to be opposed to the Black Lives Matter cause declared their outrage, and some called for a boycott of the company’s ice cream.

Though many businesses choose to remain neutral when it comes to politics, company founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield have a history of weighing on political movements. They have have previously released ice cream flavors supporting marriage equality and raise awareness about climate change. In January, Ben & Jerry’s threw its support behind Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders with a limited-edition flavor called Bernie’s Yearning.

And in April, Cohen and Greenfield were among approximately 300 individuals arrested at the U.S. Capitol as part of protests about the role of money in politics organized by activist group Democracy Awakening.

FBI agreed to destroy laptops of Clinton aides with immunity deal, lawmaker says








FBI destroyed laptops of Clinton aides after reviewing

Anyone remember any mention of this at the hearings?


Grant all the key players immunity and then destroy the laptops evidence.

Certainly no impropriety going on here!

When the FBI is complicit where do you go from here? Surely someone in the Bureau knows what’s really going on. Maybe Gowdy should offer THEM immunity and finally get some straight answers. We need the truth no matter who's got to go down to get it. If this was Whitey Bulger instead of Clinton do you think the FBI would have conducted itself in the same way? Come to think of it-- you only have to look at Martha Stewart. Stewart went to jail not because of insider trading but because she lied to the FBI.


 So then how do you explain this?


Video 287

There can only be one explanation. She lied to the American people but told the FBI the truth...I did send and receive classified information on my private server. Which still makes her guilty. You can't have it both ways. Not to mention she deleted 31,000 emails while under subpoena. That alone had to be against the law.

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


Immunity deals for two top Hillary Clinton aides included a side arrangement obliging the FBI to destroy their laptops after reviewing the devices, House Judiciary Committee sources told Fox News on Monday. 

Sources said the arrangement with former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills and ex-campaign staffer Heather Samuelson also limited the search to no later than Jan. 31, 2015. This meant investigators could not review documents for the period after the email server became public -- in turn preventing the bureau from discovering if there was any evidence of obstruction of justice, sources said. 

The Republican chairman of the House Judiciary Committee fired off a letterMonday to Attorney General Loretta Lynch asking why the DOJ and FBI agreed to the restrictive terms, including that the FBI would destroy the laptops after finishing the search.

“Like many things about this case, these new materials raise more questions than answers,” Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., wrote in the letter obtained by Fox News.

“Doesn’t the willingness of Ms. Mills and Ms. Samuelson to have their laptops destroyed by the FBI contradict their claim that the laptops could have been withheld because they contained non-relevant, privileged information? If so, doesn’t that undermine the claim that the side agreements were necessary?” Goodlatte asks.

The immunity deals for Mills and Samuelson, made as part of the FBI’s probe into Clinton’s use of a private email server when she served as secretary of state, apparently included a series of “side agreements” that were negotiated by Samuelson and Mills’ attorney Beth Wilkinson.

The side deals were agreed to on June 10, less than a month before FBI Director James Comey announced that the agency would recommend no charges be brought against Clinton or her staff.

Judiciary Committee aides told FoxNews.com that the destruction of the laptops is particularly troubling as it means that the computers could not be used as evidence in future legal proceedings, should new information or circumstances arise.

Committee aides also asked why the FBI and DOJ would enter into a voluntary negotiation to begin with, when the laptops could be obtained condition-free via a subpoena.

The letter also asked why the DOJ agreed to limit their search of the laptops to files before Jan. 31, 2015, which would “give up any opportunity to find evidence related to the destruction of evidence or obstruction of justice related to Secretary Clinton’s unauthorized use of a private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State.”

Aides expressed shock at the parameter, saying it is especially troubling as Mills and Samuelson already had immunity from the consequences of whatever might be on the laptop.

“You’re essentially extending immunity to everyone,” one aide said.

The letter to Lynch sought to determine how many documents were blocked from FBI investigators because they fell outside of the date range agreed to by the DOJ.

Fox News’ Catherine Herridge and FoxNews.com’s Adam Shaw contributed to this report.

Trump files 916 million loss to the IRS in 1995



Mind you this is coming from the same investigate team at the NYT's who still can't figure out why Barry's college transcripts are top secret.



Every American hates tax filing season. In total, Americans spend an estimated 8.9 billion hours preparing tax returns. The tax industry, and the time it takes to file taxes, costs the American economy more than $409 billion — each year. 

Americans put all that time and energy into tax returns for a larger purpose: to pay as little as possible. 

In this regard, Donald Trump is not anomaly. Let’s be honest, no one — not you, not anyone — has ever tried to pay more in taxes.

But to hear Killary tell it...well let's cite a couple examples.

The "genius" she worked for? 

Losses more than $840 billion of  TAXPAYER  money on his doomed stimulus plan and then jokes about it like he just lost $50 bucks in a slot machine!


Video 286





Former Democratic governor of NJ and former CEO of MF Global Jon Corzine was subpoenaed to appear before a House committee on December 8, 2011, to answer questions regarding 1.2 billion dollars of missing money from MF Global client accounts. He testified before the committee, "I simply do not know where the money is, or why the accounts have not been reconciled to date."
An IRS investigation never took place and never spent a minute in jail.




Getting back to taxes seems our current SOS John Kerry is not too crazy about paying them either.
