Nishimura was further ordered to surrender any currently held security clearance and to never again seek such a clearance. Nishimura was a Naval reservist deployed in Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008. In his role as a Regional Engineer for the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Nishimura had access to classified briefings and digital records that could only be...

“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 no way of getting around this: According to Director James Comey (disclosure: a former colleague and longtime friend of mine), Hillary Clinton checked every box required for a felony violation of Section 793(f) of the federal penal code (Title 18): With lawful access to highly classified information she acted with gross negligence in removing and causing it to be removed it from its proper place of custody, and she transmitted it and caused it to be transmitted to others not authorized to have it, in patent violation of her trust. Director Comey even conceded that former Secretary Clinton...

Well, Now that we've had our FBI directory roll over and say "Can I please keep my pension", we have to look at what has happened. Basically, Clinton's biggest defense is "I was too incompetent to be guilty" of the crimes alleged. There's clear evidence she did a lot of things, illegal, wicked and dangerous. But, because she was too stupid to know that she was doing wrong, she isn't guilty. And THAT is who the Democrats want to be the next President of the United States. If she wins, the great experiment of America is over. Years ago, Benjamin...

Ummmmm.....lots of feathers...... Doesn't taste like chicken at all. Tastes more like shirt. Anybody got some hot sauce? Crow sure is boney.

Hillary Clinton on Tuesday eviscerated Donald Trump’s commitment to education, warning that he would gut education and poses as a dangerous example for America’s youth. She criticized Trump’s call to eliminate most of the Department of Education by accusing him of trying to “leave out our most vulnerable students and let them fend for themselves” by eliminating agency programs like Pell Grants and access to Pre-K, and lowering taxes for the wealthy instead of investing in education. “The bottom line is—just like Trump should not have his finger on the button or his hands on our economy, he should not...

Donald Trump took to Twitter with his usual bombast in response to FBI Director James Comey's recommendation that charges not be brought against Hillary Clinton for her handling of classified information in connection to private email servers. "The system is rigged. General Petraeus got in trouble for far less. Very very unfair! As usual, bad judgment," the GOP's presumptive nominee tweeted.

18 USC 793...specifically makes it a crime for anyone “entrusted with … any document … or information relating to the national defense … through gross negligence (to permit) the same to be removed from its proper place of custody.” So even if Hillary Clinton never “intended” for sensitive information to be exposed, keeping it outside of the normal storage and safeguards of the government is more than sufficient for a case to be prosecuted. But the fundamental premise of saying there was no malicious intent is still dishonest in and of itself. Whether she cared for it or not, Secretary...

Comey’s words… Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information. For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton's position,...

Dear Mr Comey.....you had a chance to prove to the American people that the LAW still stands in this once great country. YOU FAILED! May as well rename your agency. There is no FIDELITY. There is no BRAVERY. And there is absolutely NO INTEGRITY in your agency.

I apologize. I apologize for kicking your asses because you were late for formation. I apologize for kicking your asses for selling government property. I apologize for kicking your asses for not taking proper care with communications security. I kicked your asses for much less than what Hillary Clinton is getting away with. I humbly apologize. I thought we had laws and rules and regulations. I guess we don't.

And people thought that FBI Special Agent John Connolly was an "anamoly". Whitey Bulger, who's getting the last laugh, knows better...

President Obama will jump into the presidential campaign fray ...

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.

Make up your own new HilLIARy campaign slogans.

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...
