mailgate: Spokesperson Jen Psaki now says that the State Department has no record of Hillary Clinton signing Form OF-109, and it could find no record of Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice signing it either. Why check that? 'We have reviewed Secretary Clinton's official personnel file and administrative files and have no record of her signing the OF-109," Psaki said Tuesday, not bothering to explain why that seemingly simple check wasn't done earlier. Of course, there's no evidence or statement from Hillary that she did not sign the form, though Psaki added, "I think we are fairly certain she did not...

Monica Crowley raised the question today of whether Hillary Clinton was using her private email server in order to run a rogue intelligence operation while she was secretary of state. Crowley told Martha MacCallum this morning that Clinton must answer questions about the contents of emails between her and Sidney Blumenthal. Crowley described Blumenthal as the Clintons' longtime "political hitman." She explained that President Obama denied Clinton's 2009 request to bring Blumenthal into the State Department. Crowley explained that a hacker called "Guccifer" then unearthed messages in 2013 from Blumenthal to Clinton's email account. The screenshots of Clinton's inbox were...

I'll even admit he's on the exact same page as me, re. Ukraine/Kremlin...  Trouble is: 1) I DO NOT trust him to do anything he says- there's something about the Jebster that seems shiftier and less genuine -at least to me- than Dubya. And there appears to be more of a sense of entitlement politically. 2) Jeb Bush is no conservative- he's denounced Ronald Reagan's legacy of practical common sense and towering achievement as somehow irrelevant, an unforgivable sin. 3) The Jebster is about as popular as a fart in an elevator... even within the Republican Party. 4) Others with actual conservative credentials/achievements/principlesoffer the same...

What if Hillary Clinton’s emails were hacked by foreign agents when she was the secretary of state? What if persons claiming to have done so are boasting about their alleged feats on Internet websites and in chat rooms traditionally associated with illegal or undercover activities? What if this is the sore underbelly of an arrogant and lawless secretary of state who used her power to exempt herself from laws that govern executive branch employees and didn’t care about national security? What if the law required Clinton to swear under oath on her first day as secretary of state that she...

In a new interview with Playboy, former Vice President Dick Cheney accused President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder of "playing the race card" and said that he could "go on for hours" about all of the ways Obama has "undone" the work of President George W. Bush.Although the article claims that Cheney's "preoccupations revolve around the books in his study and the purchase of just the right gifts for his grandchildren," it sounds more like he's kind of obsessed with Obama. Calling him "the worst president in my lifetime," Cheney said his criticism of Obama and Holder has nothing...

Libya's internationally recognized government said on Tuesday that any sales of the country's oil should be arranged through a state firm based in Benghazi under its leadership to prevent fraud. If implemented, the decision would escalate a battle for control that is raging, four years after the ousting of Muammar Gaddafi, between the official government based in the east and a rival administration in Tripoli. Oil markets have been wondering who is owning Africa's largest oil reserves. But so far customers have continued paying for exports worth hundreds of millions of dollars each month through state National Oil Corp (NOC)...

National Journal Senior Political Columnist and Editorial Director Ron Fournier said that Democrats are “scared to death” over the scandals regarding donations to the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton’s emails on Monday’s “Special Report” on the Fox News Channel. “Don’t buy the spin, they [Democrats] are scared to death. And there’s a lot of them who are already starting to think ‘is she really the best candidate for us?’…Their bench, compared to the Republican bench is awfully, awfully thin. And there’s a lot of Democrats, by the way, who are saying ‘follow the money.’ A lot of Democrats are really worried...

Hillary Humpty sat on her server Deleted her secrets and set off a fervor. All her cheerleaders and all her yes-men Couldn’t put Hillary’s reputation together again. Hillary is a dead politician walking. She knows it. She's too tired to fight it. She just hopes inevitable inertia overcomes itPOTUS has decided to make Iran our friend and Israel our enemy. The nation is not with him. These are interesting times.Two cops shot in Ferguson. Does Obama have anything to say? Or does he only hustle when he can be the master baiter?The incoherent thing about liberal criticism of Sen. Tom...

That’s “nonsense” and “utter baloney” according to the White House. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest was questioned about the report during the White House Press briefing by Fox News reporter James Rosen. “It’s utter baloney,” Earnest replied flatly. The New York Post story by Edward Klein cites anonymous sources suggesting that Jarrett not only leaked the details of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email address, but pushed six separate State Department probes into her behavior. Klein also cited sources that Jarrett “put out word” to reporters that the White House would look on with favor if they “gave...

Hillary Clinton used her induction into the Irish America Hall of Fame on Monday as an opportunity to try and change the subject from the former secretary of state's email account to the role of women in promoting peace around the world. Clinton gave an impassioned speech Monday in New York about her role in the 1990s Irish Peace Process, highlighting the importance of women in efforts stop fighting between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland. Clinton's exclusive use of a private email server -- a story that has shrouded the former secretary of state for the last two weeks --...

Not often do we break news on Dvorak News but today we do. Hillary Clinton used a spam filtering service MxLogic to filter her spam and viruses. What this means is – employees at MxLogic, now owned by McAfee – had full access to all her classified state department email in unencrypted form.

How close are those ties between Rilin Enterprises and China’s Communist government? Close enough that Beijing trusted Rilin with building its US embassy, for instance, and its billionaire owner has a seat in its one-party parliament. Rilin may have wanted to invest in its future with a $2 million pledge to the Clinton Foundation in 2013, according to CBS News, immediately after Hillary Clinton left office at State:CLICK ABOVE LINK FOR THE VIDEO The Rilin donation came at a time when the Clintons were aggressively raising money and when it was no secret she was readying a run for...

The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation accepted millions of dollars from a former deputy prime minister of Lebanon known for defending Hezbollah, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis. Issam Fares, a Lebanese billionaire who has established himself in the United States as a prominent philanthropist, has given between $1 and $5 million in donations to the Clintons’ foundation with donations coming as recently as last year, according to a public donor disclosure list on the foundation’s website.. *SNIP* “It seems the Zionist lobby in the United States and its agents in the region were displeased and worried that...

South Carolina GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy on Sunday refuted assertions that his House investigative committee has become a political tool for national Republicans and that the panel’s primary purpose is to attack top 2016 Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. […] “If you look back at the three hearings we have had so far, I have mentioned Hillary Clinton’s name a whopping zero times,” Gowdy said. “We were interviewing witnesses that have nothing to do with Secretary Clinton when this story broke. So to the extent that Democrats are frustrated, they should talk to Secretary Clinton, not me. I didn’t tell...

**SNIP** September 20, 2012 — Nine days after the attack, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Calif., chairman of the House Subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense, and Foreign Operations, which is part of the larger Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sends a document request to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The request is for all information the Department has about the attack, and it specifically includes "any written, recorded, or graphic matter of any nature whatsoever, regardless of how recorded, and whether original or copy, including, but not limited to, the following: memoranda, reports, expense reports, books, manuals, instructions, financial reporters,...

By retaining longtime Clinton loyalist James Carville as a regular columnist, the liberal watchdog Media Matters for America has increased its influence as a player in the 2016 presidential election. But Media Matters may be edging toward violating the tax rules that govern nonprofit organizations. Carville's new role at Media Matters was announced Thursday, following two weeks of controversy surrounding Hillary Clinton, a likely Democratic presidential candidate and former secretary of state. Media Matters was founded by another Clinton friend, David Brock, one of the rare Clinton acolytes willing to defend her amid reports that she violated federal law by...

Vengeful Obama confidante Valeria Jarrett went through back channels to leak Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server to the press, an explosive new report reveals. The New York Post‘s Edward Klein reports that a source familiar with Bill Clinton said that the former president told him: “The Obamas are out to get us any way they can.” Jarrett blamed the Democratic party’s 2014 midterm losses on the Clintons’ insinuations that Obama’s unpopular policies, including executive amnesty for foreigners gobbling up American jobs, made the president an “albatross” around the reigning party’s neck. Jarrett, Obama, and Obama’s wife greeted...

Former Secretary Clinton use of private email for her state correspondence with foreign dignitaries and persons removed her actions from public scrutiny and political accountability, converting her State Department post into a private diplomatic backchannel. Her actions have the potential to be among the most dangerous precedents for use of executive power. According to Article II of the Constitution, the “president” is one person who is vested with “[t]he executive power,” and who delegates such power to his agents. Our Framers did not insert that clause just to empower a president; they did it to make the president and his...

To Tell The Truth: Only problem -- there is no real her, moreover, this is not a game show we are playing If you were not born in the 1960s or ‘70s, chances are you never got to watch a T.V. panel game show that first aired back in 1956, appropriately named “To Tell The Truth”. The show featured a panel of celebrities whose object was to pose questions to three contestants as a way of identifying which one of them was the real character for his or her unusual occupation. All the while, as the two other contestants /...
