President Barack Obama reflected just days before leaving office on the many causes of Hillary Clinton's upset 2016 loss – and considered how things might have turned out had key actors including Bill and Hillary Clinton made 'different decisions.' Obama made the comments off the record during a meeting with progressive columnists just three days before being succeeded by Donald Trump following the bitter election, where Clinton won the popular vote but Trump prevailed in the Electoral College. A transcript was included in a cache of documents the Justice Department provided to Bloomberg as part of a FOIA request –...

Claims by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) that he had no contact with the intelligence community whistleblower at the center of the first impeachment of then-President Donald Trump are disputed in a new book. In Unchecked: The Untold Story Behind Congress’s Botched Impeachments of Donald Trump, authors Rachael Bade and Karoun Demirjian reveal a meeting between the whistleblower’s attorney, Andrew Bakaj, and lawyers working for the House Select Committee on Intelligence. This occurred in the run-up to the fall 2019 launch of an impeachment inquiry into Trump over allegations he demanded Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to initiate corruption investigations into now-President...

“Whereas the Clintons are like herpes: Just when you think they’re gone, they show up again.” Due to the popularity of Home Improvement, advisers of former First Lady Hillary Clinton once suggested she appear on the children's sitcom. The information was picked up on in previously unreleased documents from Hillary Clinton’s years as first lady. “I know this may sound like a wild idea, but I think it is an interesting one to discuss,” wrote the first lady’s press secretary, Lisa Caputo, in an August 1995 memo. “[ABC News producer] Rick Kaplan brought to my attention that Home Improvement would...

Hillary Clinton likened Donald Trump's rally in Ohio last weekend to Adolf Hitler courting Nazis, a comparison that drew a sharp rebuke from a spokesman for the former president. "I remember as a young student, you know, trying to figure out, how people get basically brought in by Hitler. How did that happen? I'd watch newsreels and I'd see this guy standing up there ranting and raving, and people shouting and raising their arms. I thought, 'What's happened to these people?'" Clinton said at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin. "You saw the rally in Ohio the other night, Trump...

AUSTIN, Texas — Hillary Clinton chimed in on the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago on Friday, calling former President Trump's handling of documents "deeply disturbing" while denying that she ever had classified information on a private email server at her home. "He's gone from nothing was there, FBI planted it, then if stuff was there, I had I right to have it there, and now this latest claim, ‘I declassified it in my mind,'" Clinton told a crowd at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin on Friday. "I'm sick about talking about my emails, but I do think it's important to...

On Friday, Hillary Clinton agreed with an MSNBC host's assessment that the sending of 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard was "literally human trafficking" and claimed no one wants "open borders. "Joining "Morning Joe," Clinton concurred with host Joe Scarborough's sharply critical remarks about the move by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, which has set off a media firestorm amid the fierce debate over how the country handles illegal immigration. Scarborough repeatedly called it "human trafficking" by DeSantis and accused him of using innocent people as political pawns. "I think, Joe, you have laid out the craziness of the time in...

Now, the richest man in Ukraine, Rinat Akhmedov, set out to build shelters for Ukrainian soldiers as the war raged on with all of its devastations.

n FBI agent whose identity was withheld in the document’s release on Friday claimed that earlier this year, they “observed markings reflecting the following compliments/dissemination controls: HCS (Human Intelligence Control Systems), FISA, ORCON (originator controlled), NOFORN (not for release to foreign nationals), and SI (special intelligence)”. Meanwhile, according to The Epoch Times, former White House adviser Kash Patel told the Wall Street Journal in mid-August that he thinks some of the FBI’s papers were relevant to the Russia probe. That means other people might be implicated by the information. Patel described the raid as politically motivated. “It had to do...

The filing contains this bombshell and seven other significant details about the Democrat-led plot to use U.S. intelligence agencies to deny Americans the results of their choice for president in 2016....

Hillary Clinton has a new Apple-tv series named “Gutsy”. Naturally, Hillary described Nancy Pelosi as “gutsy” on CNN’s State of the Union with Dana Bash on Sunday. I might have called San Fran Nan “ballsy”, and not in a good way. But, when Hillary compared Nancy to the late Queen Elizabeth II, just days after the Queen’s death, I responded, “Oh, no you dint”. Other than two XX Chromosomes, the two women have nothing in common. Zip, zilch, zero.Victory Girls’ Lisa is suffering through “Gutsy” and will review it soon. We thank her for her sacrifice. Watching the trailer for...

Now, a grand jury is alleging that Dolan, 71, was behind at least some of the claims included in the dossier, according to a 39-page indictment obtained by John Durham, the special counsel probing the Justice Department’s Russia investigation. The indictment also suggests that Dolan, who worked on both Bill and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaigns and on a State Department advisory board during the Clinton administration, was so partisan that any information he provided would be suspect. Dolan is left unidentified in the charges against Igor Danchenko, a Russia analyst who, the indictment claims, provided the core allegations included in...

In April President Trump requested the Clinton-appointed judge overseeing his Russiagate case against Hillary Clinton and others be removed from the case due to obvious conflicts of interest. President Trump earlier had sued a number of individuals and former officials for their actions related to the Russiagate hoax and attempted coup of his administration. Somehow this case was assigned to Clinton-appointed Judge Donald Middlebrooks and Judge Ryon McCabe. Judge Donald Middlebrooks was appointed by Bill Clinton to the Southern District of Florida in May 1997. President Trump urged the courts to replace the Clinton judge with someone who is not...

When asked by "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell if she'd ever consider another presidential bid, Clinton replied "No, no."

The Manhattan apartment and Southampton mansion of a Russian oligarch with close ties to President Vladimir Putin were raided by federal agents on Thursday, according to the FBI and a report.

Life, Liberty, and Levin host Mark Levin illustrated in the opening monologue of his Sunday broadcast that former President Trump has been hypocritically targeted by a corrupt system. "How is it that Hillary Clinton is still walking on the earth free? She should be getting 50 life consecutive sentences for her violations of the Espionage Act," Levin asked. "How is Jim Comey still walking on the face of the earth free?" He recounted the former secretary of state's email scandal that plagued her failed 2016 presidential campaign. "We know Hillary had a server in her home to gather information, including...

ROVE: I think it’s unseemly. And, more than that, I think it’s dangerous. I think it’s dangerous for our country to get in the habit of where it looks like the political winners direct their Departments of Justice to go after their political opponents and political—the people they defeated at the polls. I think it’s dangerous for President Trump because, look, this simply—once you unsheathe this particular weapon, you can never sheath it again. Imagine what would happen if a Democratic Congress got in, a Democrat majority in the House and Senate, and used their disagreements with political disagreements with...
