Despite the public pronouncements of CEO Mark Zucker, all is not well at CNN, the fakest news outlet in the fake news universe. Despite Mr. Zucker’s Monday claim that his network is “more trusted than ever”, the cable channel’s ratings are in full tank mode vs. its main competitors at Fox and MSNBC in ratings released on Monday. CNN has just one daily program among the top 20 in that mix, and it comes in at #20. It’s key to remember that those ratings reflect viewership for the week before CNN was forced to pull down and apologize for a...

Why should President Trump be the only one to have a Special Prosecutor? A few respectful thoughts on Special Prosecutors. First of all, now that we know we can have Special Prosecutors without there being any meaningful evidence of a crime, or in fact any evidence at all of a crime besides gossip and endless political campaigning, let’s have a Special Prosecutor for Maxine Waters. She’s the screaming voice of the most anti-Trump, shrillest slice of the Democrat party. She’s been a civil servant all of her life, earning a modest wage. Somehow, she has a $4.5 million dollar home...

The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into ride-hailing company Uber over software that its drivers used to avoid law enforcement, Reuters reported Thursday.

This idiot made such a fool of herself as a spokesgirl for the prior administration's bureaucracy that she was transferred to some less visible role. Now Fox has her as a regular contributor, no thanks. Now there is no refuge from the garbage of the left.

Liberals are ecstatic that a judge in Hawaii is writing immigration policy for the entire country, and that policy is: We have no right to tell anyone that he can’t live in America. (Unless they’re Christians — those guys we can keep out.) As subtly alluded to in the subtitle of Adios, America: The Left’s Plan to Turn Our Country into a Third World Hellhole, the goal of liberals is for the poor of the world to have a constitutional right to come here whenever they want. I can’t help but notice that the Third Worlders aren’t moving to liberals’...

Washington (AFP) – President Donald Trump is asking Congress to probe “potentially politically motivated investigations” during the 2016 campaign, the White House said Sunday. The announcement came one day after Trump took to Twitter to accuse his predecessor Barack Obama of tapping his phones ahead of the November election, without providing evidence of the explosive charge. An Obama spokesman has denied Trump’s accusation as “simply false.” In his statement, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer referred to unspecified reports of “potentially politically motivated investigations immediately ahead of the 20

I hearby demand a second investigation, after Schumer, of Pelosi for her close ties to Russia, and lying about it.

Fox News’ Bret Baier dropped a bomb last night after confirming details of multiple FBI investigations into the various dealings of the Clinton Foundation as well as Hillary Clinton’s use of an unauthorized, non-secure, private email server for her official, government work as Secretary of State. On Special Report, Baier reported that two separate sources “with intimate knowledge of the FBI investigations” had revealed details of the multiple investigations and the thumbnail of those revelations are pretty huge: ◾Sources confirm that emails were discovered on Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin’s laptop that are believed to have originated from Hillary’s home-brew...

Hillary Downgrades Huma Abedin From "Trusted Aide" To "Staffer" Tony Katz Explains How & Why Hillary Clinton Threw Huma Abedin Under the Bus For Her Direct Involvement in Reopened FBI Investigation Tony Katz and The Morning News Nov. 01, 2016 Hillary Clinton is in a fight for her life. The polling is tightening up, at least one key Democratic pollster is reassessing his support, and the FBI has reopened their investigation into her email server after discovering 650,000 "potentially relevant" emails on the computer of Anthony Weiner, husband of longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin. On Monday, Clinton appeared to demote...

FBI field offices in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Little Rock, Ark., are investigating the Clinton Foundation concerning allegations of pay-to-play financial and political corruption, according to a report at The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) Sunday. Mirroring information provided by a former senior law enforcement official that “multiple FBI investigations are underway involving potential corruption charges against the Clinton Foundation,” WSJ revelation confirms what The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group reported in August. FBI field offices in three cities, specifically, New York, Little Rock and Washington, D.C., were coordinating with the U. S. Attorneys working in those...

Baltimore City State’s Attorney is calling for major changes in investigations of police misconduct. State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby pushes reforms for officer misconduct cases, including granting her office arrest powers. Do her proposals go too far or do they fix a broken justice system? Mosby wants the power to limit officers from choosing bench trials–after the strategy proved successful for the officers she charged in Freddie Gray’s death. It’s one of several changes the state’s attorney is asking for in police misconduct cases.

FReepers --- I got this to Gowdy's investigators one year ago and to FBI and Justice Dept early this year. I've tried to get it to media outlets but they are not playing it. Hillary again lied in her sworn responses to Judicial Watch, saying that the server was for convenience. Absolutely false! It was to hide information because she was afraid of investigations. PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND TO MEDIA OUTLETS. Trump should use this but they have not responded to me. This clip was in a 20/20 piece just over a decade ago when ABC...

Scandal: The Daily Caller reports that the FBI now has multiple investigations underway into the nefarious dealings of the Bill and Hillary's favor bank, also known as the Clinton Foundation. If true, this investigation could succeed where others have been stonewalled or blocked by the Clinton machine. Is Hillary Clinton going to be held to account for her corrupt dealings between the State Department and the Clinton Foundation? That question just became highly relevant again. According to the Daily Caller, this investigation — unlike the politically neutered FBI probe into Clinton's reckless use of a private email server while Secretary...

**SNIP** "This is by far the most aggressive assault on the inspector general concept since the beginning," said Light, and Peace Corps inspector general Kathy Buller said it "runs against transparency." The new rules come from a dispute within the Justice Department after its former inspector general, Glenn Fine, gave a series of reports on FBI abuses. After that, FBI attorneys said that he could no longer have access to their confidential records. A Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel opinion, though, said a law passed in 1978 did not mean the inspector general did not have all access in...

Gov. Scott Walker has signed legislation sponsored by his fellow Wisconsin Republicans that could protect him and his colleagues from political investigations.The legislation was quickly approved by the Wisconsin General Assembly and the Senate only days after it hit the floors of both chambers.A spokesman for Walker said the governor signed the legislation because he supported “common-sense reforms that protect free speech and ensure transparency and accountability.”Democrats say Walker only wants to make sure he never again faces the kind of scrutiny that was produced by investigations that the former GOP presidential candidate has seen over the past three...

One of the many things that goes unreported and not commented upon in the great Hillary Clinton email server evasion is: What has been the cost to the American taxpayer due to her decision to use a private email server during her time at the State Department and how much more will this cost the taxpayer before this is concluded (if ever)? Another question: while she has said it was "permitted" or "allowed" she has never said "WHO permitted this." Why hasn't the news media raised this question, if even just among themselves? Why isn't congress raising this question as...

Author Ed Klein claimed that Hillary Clinton is under six investigations prompted by the White House on Wednesday’s “Fox & Friends” on the Fox News Channel. Klein said that the White House was leaking unfriendly stories to the press about the Clintons and “it’s not only me who thinks this, Bill Clinton thinks this as well. He has said, according to my sources, that the White House is leaking to their friendly — their friends in the mainstream media stories about the Clintons, not only about Hillary, but about him and about what she did while she was in the...

The D.C. Establishment hopes if you drag out disclosure about a scandal long enough, it loses a bit of its “wow factor” along the way. That would seem to be the view of the Obama administration regarding many of its wanton acts of mismanagement.

WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state, State Department officials said, and may have violated federal requirements that officials’ correspondence be retained as part of the agency’s record. Mrs. Clinton did not have a government email address during her four-year tenure at the State Department. Her aides took no actions to have her personal emails preserved on department servers at the time, as required by the Federal Records Act.

At an event where the price of admission ranged from $1,000 to $32,000 per seat, President Obama urged 150 donors to give as much as they can to the effort of the Democratic Party to retake control of the House of Representatives in the 2014 elections. “Right now the nation’s business is being held hostage by the Republican House majority that insists on pressing ahead with useless investigations,” Obama declared. “Even if we were to concede that the issues they want to investigate are legitimate—which we don’t—it must be admitted that those affected constitute a tiny minority.” “We’ve got four...
