FBI Recommends No Charges Should Be Filed Against Hillary Clinton By Meghan Keneally GENEVA SANDS Jul 5, 2016, 11:20 AM FBI Director James Comey said today his agency is not recommending that charges be brought against Hillary Clinton as a result of the year-long investigation into her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.

In a surprising statement which concluded moments ago, FBI directos James Comey announced that Federal officials have decided not to pursue federal charges against Hillary Clinton for her private email setup, an announcement that will send a shockwave throughout national politics. In a press briefing at the bureau's headquarters in downtown Washington, Comey said investigators and prosecutors had concluded there was not sufficient evidence to push forward with an indictment against Clinton, clearing her of a federal investigation that has loomed over her presidential campaign for nearly a year. Comey's announcement comes just three days after the former secretary of...

A favorite little “trick” we play on two year olds in my family is “I got your nose” where you put your hand on the child’s face and pull it away with your thumb sticking out between your index and middle finger. You show the tip of your thumb to the child and say, “I got your nose.” The child then puts his/her hand up and on finding a nose we both laugh. If this is tried on a three year old the kid looks at you like you’re insane. Rush Limbaugh is convinced the meeting between Bill Clinton and...

Washington, D.C. July 05, 2016 * FBI National Press Office (202) 324-3691 Remarks prepared for delivery at press briefing. Good morning. I'm here to give you an update on the FBI's investigation of Secretary Clinton's use of a personal e-mail system during her time as Secretary of State. After a tremendous amount of work over the last year, the FBI is completing its investigation and referring the case to the Department of Justice for a prosecutive decision. What I would like to do today is tell you three things: what we did; what we found; and what we are recommending...

WOW -- JUST WOW!!! sloppiness, negligence, etc. but not willful and intentional acts 162 emails contained classified email. 8 - top secret 2000 emails up classified to make confidential. Several thousand work-related emails discovered that Hillary didn't disclose. No evidence of intentional deletion. Evidence of Extreme Carelessness in Handling Email. There's evidence that Hillary and others should have known that handling of emails was improper. No proof of hacking, but hacking by hostile actors may have occurred. FBI Recommends: No Prosecution.

State bars across the country have become havens for the left in recent years, increasingly used to target conservative attorneys. With deep pockets — due to the exorbitant amount of dues they charge attorneys in order to practice law — it is impossible to fight back once targeted. More than half of state bars are mandatory, which means they are unavoidable if you want to practice law. This is very disturbing, considering many of these states have right-to-work laws. Why are attorneys required to join a union? Arizona has one of the most corrupt state bars in the country. Many...

The facts known about actions taken by Hillary Clinton while secretary of state surrounding the use of an unsecure private email server for conducting government business show that she violated 10 federal statutes. Several are national-security-related felonies, just three of which include: 1. disclosure of classified information (22 documents were Top Secret), 2. unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents, and 3. destruction of evidence (erasure of the hard drive and deletion of some 30,000 emails by Secretary Clinton) after a government investigation had commenced (Benghazi hearings began Oct. 10, 2012). Comey knows of a related but lesser law violation...

The FBI is set to question Hillary. Regardless of Clinton Foundation, RICO, Pay To Play, etcc.. Hillary has already admitted to 1. Having a private Server 2. Destroying emails she claimed were personnal. 3. Failing to return all emails/documents to State Department upon her moving. What could she possibly say to exonerate herself on those charges? Nothing. Why has this taken so long? My take is her illness is starting to hasten this weekend. Maybe she won't even make it to the interview. Huma threw her under the bus with the limited info she recently provided. Bill threw her under...

Hillary Clinton's weekend interview with the FBI stands as a perfect symbol of what is probably her biggest liability heading into the fall election: A lot of people say they don't trust her. [Snip] "Trust is the glue that holds our democracy together," Clinton said last week as part of a direct effort to address the issue in this small lull between the end of primary voting and the start of full-on campaigning for the fall vote. "I take this seriously, as someone who is asking for your votes, and I personally know I have work to do on this...

Hillary Clinton is considering retaining Loretta Lynch as Attorney General if she wins the presidency, according to a report from The New York Times. Picking Lynch as a holdover from the Obama administration would help Clinton’s stated goal of making her cabinet gender-equal. But the choice would likely prove controversial given that Lynch is the ultimate arbiter in the Justice Department’s investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information on Clinton’s private email server.

Hillary Clinton recently visited my home state of North Carolina, but I was not in attendance. Although I should – according to the assumptions of some – be cheering on the first female presidential nominee in American history, I cannot cheer for her. more...

Should she win the presidency, Hillary Clinton would quickly try to find common ground with Republicans on an immigration overhaul and infrastructure spending, risking the wrath of liberals who would like nothing more than to twist the knife in a wounded opposition party. In her first 100 days, she would also tap women to make up half of her cabinet in hopes of bringing a new tone and collaborative sensibility to Washington, while also looking past Wall Street to places like Silicon Valley for talent — perhaps wooing Sheryl Sandberg from Facebook, and maybe asking Tim Cook from Apple to...

NEW YORK – The emerging history that Hillary Clinton evaded a planned Justice Department prosecution in the 1990s for her evidently criminal activity in the Whitewater affair has now been fully documented by Washington-based Judicial Watch. That Hillary escaped jail over Whitewater adds concern that Bill Clinton’s tarmac meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch may have been a resumed effort to the Bill-Hillary crime partnership to keep a planned political indictment from wrecking the political foundation upon which their ill-gotten financial gains continue to depend. On Saturday, WND reported Donald Trump had tweeted his concern that, according to CNN’s unidentified...

A North Georgia newspaper publisher was indicted on a felony charge and jailed overnight last week – for filing an open-records request. Fannin Focus publisher Mark Thomason, along with his attorney Russell Stookey, were arrested on Friday and charged with attempted identity fraud and identity fraud. Thomason was also accused of making a false statement in his records request. Thomason’s relentless pursuit of public records relating to the local Superior Court has incensed the court’s chief judge, Brenda Weaver, who also chairs the state Judicial Qualifications Commission. Weaver took the matter to the district attorney, who obtained the indictments. Thomason...

Earlier this month a federal court in California ruled that a farmer plowing his land without a permit from the federal government is breaking the law. In 2013, the Army Corps of Engineers, without any notice or due process, ordered the owners of Duarte Nursery to cease use of their land for allegedly violating the Clean Water Act (CWA). The violation: plowing. The California court agreed with the federal government’s action, despite the fact the CWA specifically exempts normal agricultural activities like plowing from regulation. This overreaching assertion of federal power is not an isolated incident. For decades, the EPA...

Sifting through the facts slowly emerging from the tattered veil of secrecy surrounding the tarmac meeting between Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton, it is likely that the popular narrative that the Attorney General was ambushed is false. In all likelihood, General Lynch had an important agenda that needed to be communicated immediately to Team Hillary. Last week I wrote a piece reasonably speculating that Lynch’s meeting with Clinton meant that the FBI would shortly refer charges to Justice, and that Lynch met Clinton to break the bad news and reassure him that nothing would come of it under her watch....
