But wouldn’t Cokie Roberts say that those are code words for both sexism and ageism?

If Hillary! withdraws from the race, is Biden the democrats’ go-to candidate? Do they have anyone who has not sustained brain damage?

About ten years after Homeland Security got created.....there came this audit to an agency with about 350 HS members in the DC area. The guy doing the credit card and vehicle inventory sat there in a bit of a shock...they had something like 300 cars in their inventory.

So he’s asking questions. It turns out that as they were created and new people started to show up....they wanted “company cars”. Mind you....this is a law enforcement type organization but has no real function in the DC area. They would be the crowd who would get called and sent to NY, or Philly, or Atlanta for some big emergency.

So the audit guy asked....if this was an emergency in Phoenix or Seattle....none of these guys would be driving across the country....individually....in their company cars? Oh...and the head guy of this agency started to grasp that this was pretty screwed up.

They were paying around a thousand a month for each vehicle on some lease deal....with gas credit cards included, and these HS guys were driving homme each night with the leased government vehicle. Huge amount of waste.

They couldn’t just turn these in now....without paying some extra fee. So in the end...they shipped around 90-percent of these cars around the DC area to other agencies with an actual need for a vehicle, and let each lease dissolve when the time came up for renewal. You can figure out the waste....with each vehicle and fuel costs....into the millions by one single small HS agency in DC.

meanwhile over in the trump campaign........ silence

Trump has not mentioned, even quietly, that Cristie will take up the indictment and that Rudy will be the prosecutor

So, where are all those resignations from “principled FBI agents” for whom “the rule of law” is their standard?

This is a warning, folks. For government employees their careers come first. They will do what the big shots tell them to do. Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness, Honor, Integrity, their Constitutional Oath means nothing.

In her interview with the FBI, Clinton said she couldn't remember about 50 times. Said that after she had a concussion and a blood clot at the end of 2012, she did not “recall every briefing she received” at the end of her tenure at the State Department. “CLINTON stated she received no instructions or direction regarding the preservation or production of records from State during the transition out of her role as Secretary of State in early 2013,” said the summary. “However, in December 2012, CLINTON suffered a concussion and then around the New Year a blood clot. “Based on her doctor’s advice, she could only work at State for a few hours a day and could not recall every briefing she received.”

SOUNDS FAMILIAR.

BACKSTORY EXCERPT---By Robert Gehl, Federalist Papers
Cheryl Mills doesn’t know either (189 times)

She doesn’t recall, she doesn’t recollect. She’s not sure. She just doesn’t know. Hillary Clinton’s counsel and chief of staff doesn’t know a lot of things. She can’t remember testimony she gave. She isn’t sure if she spoke to anyone – she doesn’t remember Hillary’s email address, she doesn’t even know who might know anything. During seven hours of testimony before Judicial Watch, Cheryl Mills said “I don’t know” or some variation of ignorance at least 189 times.

Mills is clearly adept at finding ways to proclaim her ignorance. She was Bill Clinton’s counsel during the impeachment proceedings in the 1990s and has been a close advisor for both Bill and Hillary Clinton for decades.

Breitbart compiled a list of the near-200 times Mills declared how little she knows. READ HERE http://thefederalistpapers.org/us/what-cheryl-mills-doesnt-know-could-last-seven-hours-wait-it-does

“For most of us, his intent is understood and the words were unnecessary”

I agree. But I held several clearances in my career. Had I done even a tiny amount of what she did daily, I would be in prison. People died because of her. The Navy just sent a sailor to prison for a year for taking a selfie in front of a screen that was turned on. This is like giving a pass on multiple murders but executing somebody for jaywalking. Either we are a nation of laws or we are all Somalia. He voted for Somalia.

As Secretary Clinton ironically said, “We have two standards. We have the standard for everybody else and then we have the standard for a Clinton.” She meant it a bit differently but it works exactly as stated.

Equally damning is the picture that the FBI's report paints of Clinton's confessedly oblivious service as secretary of state.

The position of SoS was a front, which allowed Hillary to travel around the world and shake down foreign donors.

Because the people in Benghazi didn't have millions of dollars to contribute to the Clinton Foundation, they were abandoned to die.

I am hoping that it isn’t over until after the elections and the fat lady sings. I am hoping that President Trump will go after the entire corrupt, traitorous regime. (I expect to be disappointed, though.)

I understand your thought, however, nothing will be done to Hillary by the Obama Administration. It just isn’t going to happen.

The point of the election is becoming clearer and clearer. To cleanse America from the corruption and abuse of political power, there must be a new broom in the White House.

An “X” SS told me that when it came in under homeland, it really fell apart.

Homeland should be dismantled, and all the parts returned to their original Department.

For those sections that were newly created under Homeland, they need to be disbanded.

There have been too many layers of bureaucracy created. The government has to be made leaner and more, with all management made more accountable.

Here is why the FBI did This was forwarded from a retired group of ex military offers including a JAG, an Admiral, and 2 generals.
SUBJECT: WOW! WHY HILLARY WASN’T INDICTED.
Worth taking the time to read because this story is starting to leak
out from FBI agents and others “who are in the know” inside
Washington!
WHY THE FBI DIDN’T OPT FOR PROSECUTION OF HILLARY
Agents at the FBI are livid that FBI Director Comey did what he did.
They are claiming there was more than sufficient evidence to bring
several indictments against Hillary Clinton. It wasn’t a slam dunk
case, but it had more than a good probability of a conviction for
Hillary Clinton.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch and president Obama made it clear to
Comey that if he pressed for an indictment, he would be taking the
Democrat nominee for president out of the election. If he failed to
get a conviction he would be facing charges of tampering with and
changing the outcome of a federal election, to which he would be
facing time in prison, and Obama and Lynch, as well as others, would
see to it that he did. So now you know why he presented his case the
way he did and why it was so obvious he was reluctant to not press for
an indictment. Also, Hillary’s statement to the FBI was intentionally
given without a court reporter present or without any recording of her
testimony to prevent her from having any further exposure to legal
charges like perjury. If she lied to Congress, they have no written
FBI deposition to confront her with. This was set up to let Hillary
walk without fear of being charged with giving False Testimony or
being charged with Obstruction of Justice.
This is what those in the “legalese world” call a “Straw Man” legal
charge. (It is a charge designed to make someone appear innocent of
the charges!) EXAMPLE: Bill beats up Shirley at their home. Bill is
arrested for “Felony Spousal Abuse”. Bill’s lawyer gets the charges
dismissed because Bill is not married to Shirley! (They are only “live
in boyfriend and girlfriend”.) Bill walks out of court totally
exonerated of the charges thanks to a technicality! The twist in the
case is the arresting officer knew all along Bill was not married to
Shirley because the officer and Bill are old fraternity brothers. The
officer intentionally charged Bill with something he knew would not
stick. Bill would easily have been convicted of Assault and Battery,
but he was not charged with that! This is what is known as the “STRAW
MAN” charge. It is how you make a guilty person appear innocent. This
is exactly what was done with the Hillary Clinton case!
If she had been charged with “Destruction of Government Documents”,
she would have easily been convicted, because she admitted to doing
it!Instead, she was charged with “Mishandling Classified Documents”
which has wiggle room for reasonable doubt regarding Criminal Intent!
ED KLEIN who wrote the book on the Clintons - coming out soon — said
Hillary was called to the office of Valerie Jarrett and Obama back in
2009 and told her she had to stop sending emails thru her personal
server -—OBVIOUSLY SHE DIDN’T LISTEN TO THEM. So, YES, Obama knew and
Jarrett Knew and Huma knew along with how many others!!!! READ
ON.....very interesting......
“FBI Director James Comey basically delivered a coded message to the
American People and the world. He said...she is guilty beyond any
reasonable doubt, certainly should not be president and should be
brought to justice ..however our country has been infiltrated and is
basically corrupt!
Lynch and Obama made it clear to him...if he pressed for an
indictment, he would be taking the Democrat nominee for president out
of the election...If....he then failed to get a conviction...he would
be facing charges of tampering with and changing the outcome of a
federal election to which he would be facing the rest of his life in
prison...
NOW YOU KNOW WHY HE PRESENTED HIS CASE THE WAY HE DID AND WHY IT WAS
SO OBVIOUS HE WAS RELUCTANT TO NOT PRESS FOR INDICTMENT.
Also....The key is in what Comey said...80 email chains.....that
means an exchange between people...Hillary sending AND
RECEIVING.....so if he charges Hillary he has to charge the others in
the chain...what if the exchange is with Obama...it is not a stretch
to think the Sec of State would be in email contact with POTUS
(PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES)....
Let’s just say...Bill went to Loretta and said shut this down...or
else if Hillary is charged she will tell under oath that some of the
emails were with the President...so he is also guilty of a
felony...THAT is IMPEACHABLE...the Republicans would go for it...the
Democrats would yell racism and the country erupts in
violence......Lynch tells Comey...you better watch it or you could be
to blame for violence tearing this country part...what is he to
do???...So Comey takes 20 minutes spelling out everything bad Hillary
did....just like a trial in public.....then stops short to prevent any
unrest......”
PS FBI agents had found that 110 emails in 52 email chains contained
information that should have been marked and treated as classified
when it was sent on Clinton’s personal server, including eight
chains containing information that was top secret, the highest level
of classification.
PSS I’ve researched this information as best as I could and deleted
things that I found to be false or very doubtful. If you find and
quotable confirmations of specific key points, please send them to me.
HERE’S A SUMMARY OF WHAT I BELIEVE HAPPENED.
In an un-rigged system the FBI presents all the evidence to a
prosecutor and then the prosecutor decides whether or not to take the
case to a grand jury.
The powers to be knew that the FBI Director James Comey would present
evidence that suggests wrong doing. So former president Bill Clinton
and Attorney General Loretta Lynch plan their tarmac meeting with the
intent to be seen so the public will accuse them of being in cahoots.
She then absolves them of conspiracy by declaring the she would just
go with whatever the FBI says.
So all they have to do is pressure the FBI Director to play along and
make a do not prosecute recommendation. This gets everyone involved
off the hookIF
DISGUSTING.

“Companies should be careful who they promote as a bad or criminal boss sends competent people looking for a new job.”.......

There are times when it is GOOD to change employers. Did that a few times myself and it worked out quite well for my career.

Maybe she is a blithering idiot. Look at the way she dresses, her hair always a mess, the things she says. It may be an act, but if Comey had put this derelict on the stand, it may have been difficult to convict her.

Just a thought..

As much as I would have preferred Comey recommending charges to the DOJ; if he had, I doubt this release of the interview notes would have been allowed if he had asked for charges. The DOJ would have slow-rolled their investigation well beyond the election, IMO. By not recommending charges, he was free to release this info and perhaps open up a few eyes of people on the fence when it comes to the election.

Sometimes the literal take on an analogy is a valid observation too. No need to be rude - “Herself hasn’t driven for 20 years” is a relevant point.

Not on the same level but just like Mizzou. Alumni are pretty ashamed of that fiasco last year.
