Attorney and former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner said that former President Donald Trump is potentially facing a "five-year felony" over allegations that he took classified national security documents from the White House when he left office last year. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) confirmed in a Friday letter to the House Oversight Committee that some 15 boxes Trump returned last month after being requested to do so, contained classified national security documents. "NARA has identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes," archivist David Ferriero wrote. Previously, The New York Times reported that classified...

Here are 29 pages of a document dump with all sorts of interesting information.

This holiday season makes for the perfect time to Count Your Blessings. Best blessing of Thanksgiving 2017 to count first: Hillary Clinton never made it as president. The caterwauling of that stunning loss continues over a year later. But Clinton, who acts as if she really won the presidency, is now down to carping at the voting world from the none-too-stable Clinton Foundation, or whatever is left of it.

It seems Hillary’s lackeys are still working to take action against our government, aloof to the fact she lost the election. The details of this group’s actions are truly sick! This group has a guide for resisting Trump’s administration and is being led by a former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer, Jimmy Dahman. It’s also located at the same address as a George Soros organization, The Action Network, which is this group’s parent company, via Breitbart. Dahman was a field organizer in Clinton’s campaign in Iowa, and he is the founder of The Town Hall Project. They describe themselves as “a...

FALLS CHURCH, Virginia -- While giving a speech endorsing Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s Virginia gubernatorial bid at a small concert and theater venue just outside Washington, D.C., former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took several veiled shots at President Barack Obama and the way her 2008 Democratic primary opponent has run Washington since being first elected five years ago. While Clinton never mentioned Obama by name, she used innuendo and some indirect references to try to separate herself from the president ahead of what is widely expected to be another run at the White House for her in 2016. “I thought...

It is stunning to me how many people don’t recall recent history and what happened economically during the Clinton administration. (I like to call him the ‘Toon). Like 0bummer, the ‘Toon attempted to increase taxes sharply, regulate everything and install gobberment run healthcare. Two years in the “Republican Revolution” occurred and Newt Gingrich came in with the “Contract With America”. The ‘Toon clearly saw the American people had spoken and he knew for his own political survival he would have to work with the new Congress to change things. He used a lot of Gingrich and Contract ideas and this...

Remember how the Romans tried to discover the will of the gods by slicing up a chicken and the Vikings did it by reading stones? And Kremlinologists looked at a man’s placement on a podium overlooking Red Square? Well, the American left elite sends it’s signals via the media elite (WaPo, NYT etc) and sometimes, oddly enough, this is bounced through the UK’s BBC because, as any fule kno, there is a symbiotic relationship between the great and the good of both nations.

John Judis and Ruy Teixeira's well-regarded 2002 work The Emerging Democratic Majority begins with a vignette set in Virginia. They tell the story of a telecom executive named Mark Warner, who runs a moderate campaign that appeals to upper-middle class suburbanites and working class rural voters, and manages to put together a winning coalition that, if imitated in other states, might put the Democrats in power for decades to come. Democrats did build coalitions similar to Warner’s, and in fact had been doing so for the better part of a decade. Warner’s coalition was essentially Bill Clinton’s 1996 coalition. The...

Watch this CNN interview after Hillary's speech. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct6p-3kVlX8 This black woman was in emotional breakdown, saying she might sit out the election for the first time in her life.

Big news folks - it looks like our efforts in contacting those Superdelegates are starting to pay off, so keep on writing to them (ok, maybe Donna B's a waste of time). There are unconfirmed reports, based on phone banking efforts to reach out to Super Ds, that eight previously Obama SDs expressed that, given the opportunity, they would vote for Hillary at the convention. I heard about an interview Will Bower of PUMA did recently, where he said delegates are starting to say they'll vote for Hillary in Denver if the DNC did the right thing and ran an...

Our spike in readership continues. Surprisingly few of us have decided to leave us for the Obama camp. We are resolved to see this through. Let us be clear what this is all about for those of you who wander in here looking for an argument. The problem is the party itself. 2008 was the year that the party abandoned its principles. It is no longer the party of FDR and shared responsibility. Now, it is the party of wannabe rich libertarian Democrats. It is the party of the Ariana Huffingtons who, dissatisfied with her own party, have decided to...

A Clinton donor tells me that on a conference call today with major fundraisers this afternoon, Harold Ickes told them Clinton isn't planning to drop out. He pressed donors to stay unified, and reviewed tactical options, including challenging the Michigan delegation. State finance committees are also circulating letters to deliver to Clinton tomorrow in New York, and I've obtained a draft of the Illinois finance committee's letter, being circulated by a Clinton fundraising aide, Rafi Jafri, which stresses a fight until the convention, and a resolution in "August, and no earlier." We, the Illinois Finance Committee, want to show our...

http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x2882.xml?ReleaseID=1180 A new set of polls from Quinnipiac gives some credibility to the Clinton campaign's argument that Hillary is the more electable Democrat. Florida McCain (R) 45%, Obama (D) 41% Clinton (D) 48%, McCain (R) 41% Ohio McCain (R) 44%, Obama (D) 40% Clinton (D) 48%, McCain (R) 41% Pennsylvania Obama (D) 46%, McCain (R) 40% Clinton (D) 50%, McCain (R) 37% No wonder Howard Dean is screaming about scrapping the electoral college. http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MDVmNWQ5MzkyM2U0MDg3MzYwYTBlNDhhODFiZDVlNzU= Because there's a very plausable scenario that Obama might win the popular votes by up to several millions without being able to winn the presidency! Remember...

It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8% The results were: April 30(April 13) Hillary Clinton: 44% (36%) Barack Obama:...

No Change in Democratic Presidential Contest in Kentucky -- Clinton Still 2:1 Atop Obama: In a Democratic Primary in Kentucky today, 04/29/08, three weeks until votes are counted, Hillary Clinton decisively defeats Barack Obama, 63% to 27%. In three SurveyUSA tracking polls over the past 30 days, there is no movement in the contest. Obama gains a little bit of ground in Greater Louisville, but loses an equivalent amount in other portions of the state.

Re: Obama's Numbers [John Hood] Rich, I'm told that a new Survey USA poll for a NC television station today will put Clinton within five points of Obama. So, yeah, assume a roomful of scaredy cats over at Obama HQ.

Friday, March 28, 2008 CAMPAIGN NEWS Obama Pans Bill Clinton's Economic Legacy. The economy was the main topic on the presidential campaign trail Thursday, with both Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama addressing the issue at separate events. ABC World News reported on "what is clearly the number one issue with voters: the economy. All three candidates are talking about it these days, with major speeches about what they would do as president." ABC added, "Today for the first time a major presidential candidate said flat-out what no other candidate has said." Obama said, "As most experts agree, our economy...

We have to stop talking about Americans in terms of "the rich" or "the poor" - or even in terms of economic "class" envy altogether. America was not designed to have any set of socio-economic classes, which would be used by ambitious politicians to exploit every American via class warfare. We are individuals, each with different dreams and talents and desires. We are equal only in opportunity and the rules of nature which dictate only that failure, equality and success are individual rights achieved only by individual effort. The only "us against them" that really exists in America is "us...

Campaigning in Casper, Wyo., Friday night for the 12 delegates to come out of Saturday's Democratic county caucuses, Sen. Barack Obama refused the notion of becoming the vice presidential candidate on this fall's party ticket. Obama was asked by a television reporter, "Can you ever see yourself on the same ticket as Sen. Clinton?" And the freshman Illinois senator replied: "Well, you know, I think it’s premature. You won’t see me as a vice presidential candidate -- you know, I’m running for president. We have won twice as many states as Senator Clinton, and have a higher popular vote, and...

Despite the backlash against President Clinton when he compared the candidacy of Sen. Barack Obama to that of Rev. Jesse Jackson after the South Carolina primary, a top Clinton advisor evoked that comparison again today.
