In a bombshell move, Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday commuted the 75-year-to-life sentence of Judith Clark, the former Weather Underground radical who was convicted for her role in the infamous 1981 Brinks robbery in which two Nyack police officers and an armored truck driver were killed.

An appeals court reversed a lower court’s ruling on Tuesday saying two U.S. government agencies did not do enough to recover emails pertaining to the investigation involving former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server when she served as secretary of state. The three-judge panel — comprised of Judges Stephen Williams, Brett Kavanaugh and Robert Wilkins — ruled that the lower court judge should not have thrown out the cases as moot after the State Department received thousands of emails from the FBI and Clinton. Williams of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of...

The announcement on Friday that the FBI is investigating a new batch of Hillary Clinton emails suggests the bureau may have uncovered something criminal, a 35-year FBI veteran tells TheWrap. “This letter is a shocker,” said James Wedick, who headed the FBI’s corruption squad in Sacramento. “Obviously they stumbled upon something that suggests criminality.” In a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, FBI director James Comey explained that the bureau “has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.” Comey did not explain where the new emails came from, only saying only that they...

Only a Trump Justice Department can put Hillary behind bars. ‘Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!”Republicans convened in Cleveland this week and rhythmically chanted for the incarceration of Hillary Clinton, the candidate the Democrats will nominate for president next week in Philadelphia. Some pundits found the Republicans’ new slogan harsh and extreme. But who are the real extremists here? In what must be a historical first, Democrats are about to anoint a contender for the White House who faces at least four federal investigations and a serious, private anti-corruption lawsuit. Even after the Watergate break-in, Richard Nixon’s...

“To be clear this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions but that’s not what we’re deciding here. “

There is evidence the statutes were violated, Comey says, but no one ever gets charged for that so Hillary shouldn't either She’s going to get away with it. Not because anyone thinks she didn’t do it. The FBI director knows damn well she did it. He even said in the presser that her statements about a) never sending or receiving classified e-mails; and b) turning over all her work-related e-mails were clearly not true. He absolutely lambasted her lack of care for the security of classified e-mails, even up to and including the use of non-secure devices when overseas, when...

The video was graphic and difficult to watch, showing a burly man push his way into the suburban home and begin to punch and kick the woman for several minutes, at one point throwing her down a flight of stairs, all while the toddler watched from the couch. Custis then fled the location with some jewelry, including the victim's wedding ring.

With cops on edge following the assassination of two patrol officers on a Brooklyn street, many officers have started turning a blind eye to some minor crimes, sources told The Post, while a union mandate that two patrol cars respond to all police calls has led to slower response times to non-emergencies. “I’m not writing any summonses. Do you think I’m going to stand there so someone can shoot me or hit me in the head with an ax?” One cop said Sunday, referring to the Dec. 20 slayings and another recent attack on the NYPD. “I’m concerned about my...

In the past, I've advised against trying to impeach the reprobate-in-chief. It seemed futile and self-defeating. I've changed my mind. Whether or not it succeeds, it's the only way for Republicans to show that they're serious about stopping a president who's like a car without brakes barreling down a mountainside – smashing the Constitution and running over representative government. Congressional Republicans, led by the Indomitable John Boehner and Stalwart Mitch McConnell, are said to be considering such drastic measures as – have mercy! – suing Obama. Other suggested remedies include denying funding to programs which would oversee the amnesty and...

A 15-year-old boy has been charged with the murder of a young woman who was found stabbed to death at her Florida home five months ago. Nicole Franco, 19, who worked as a pastry chef at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, was murdered in her own bed on June 3. DNA testing has lead the investigation to D'Marcus Tucker, 15, a neighbor at the gated Bridgewater Place apartments in Oakland Park. Tucker was charged on Monday with one count of first-degree murder.

A group of teenagers vandalized a Brooklyn deli on Saturday night after leaving a raucous party nearby, said police. Surveillance footage of the event shows the teens storming the entrance of Gourmet Butcher, a deli in crown heights at just after 9pm. The young vandals can be seen knocking over shelves in the front of the store and grabbing armfuls of candy as they threw storage on the ground.

Germany's biggest newspaper, Bild, was forced to climb down over the weekend after a highly critical and controversial comment piece which attacked Islam as a barrier to integration appeared in its Sunday sister paper. "I don't believe in God, but at the same time Christianity, Judaism or Buddhism don't bother me. Only Islam bothers me more and more," wrote Nicolaus Fest, vice editor-in-chief of the Bild am Sonntag newspaper in the editorial published on Sunday. Fest then laid out why Islam's "criminality," "murderous contempt" and "honour killings" did not belong in Germany, in comments which prompted a raft of hostility...

National Treasury Employees Union President Colleen Kelley (in tan jacket) leads a protest earlier this month. About 250 Federal workers massed in Federal Plaza in Manhattan May 7 to protest the sequester cuts. (The Chief) This explains things… President Obama met with anti-Tea Party IRS union chief Colleen Kelly in the White House the day before the agency targeted Tea Party.

For months, congressional investigators have battled a recalcitrant White House and Department of Justice over Operation Fast and Furious, a conspiracy that had the apparent goal of sending thousands of guns from American gun stores into Mexico. Recovery of the guns could be used as evidence to support the Obama administration’s 90-percent lie — and perhaps even serve a more nefarious goal. That deception seems to be collapsing, as the long suspected proof of other gunwalking operations was confirmed by Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News: An administration source would not describe the Tucson OCDTF case. However, CBS News has learned...

As part of a new crime-fighting initiative unveiled yesterday, Boston police now have the ability to witness shootings, robberies, and even homicides on many city streets from computer screens at headquarters and then distribute crucial information about the suspects and the crimes to officers heading to the scene.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Doris Thompson hasn't let age slow her down. At 80, she's still ransacking and burglarizing medical offices. Thompson, whose criminal record stretches back to 1955, pleaded guilty Wednesday to taking about $1,400 from the Children's Medical Group in suburban Torrance. During the hearing, the amiable 5-foot-3 woman who ties her gray pigtails with white bows, thanked the judge for letting her serve her time in state prison rather than county jail.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has wrapped up its investigation into the deadly shooting of an unarmed auto theft suspect last month. Deputies said Torey Breedlove refused their commands to give up, and rammed their vehicles to escape, so they unleashed a hail of gunfire. Residents in the Alta Westgate apartments had bullets fly through walls and glass doors, they said this was unnecessary force. Two sources from within the Sheriff's department told WESH 2 that 133 shots were fired. One deputy alone fired 42 times and reloaded twice. The incident has caused a call for...

A Russian man has been charged with killing 13 fellow train passengers by offering them tranquilliser-laced drinks before robbing them and leaving them to die, investigators said Wednesday. The 23-year-old attacker targeted well-dressed, tipsy male travellers on commuter trains and at rail stations in Moscow and the surrounding region, Moscow transport investigators said in a statement. He gave them drinks laced with a "huge dose of a strong tranquilliser" and waited for them to black out, then stole their money, mobile phones and bank cards before leaving them in an unconscious state, the statement said. "Thirteen people died at the...

Southwest Detectives are going door to door trying to get information about a robbery and assault that left a 100-year-old man beaten to the ground. According to police, the disturbing attack happened in broad daylight on the 6700 block of Grovers Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia.
