THE CLINTON EMAIL COVER-UP: Author Lee Cary Predicted It All

Author Lee Cary predicted all of this in March; he reminded me with an email yesterday with the subject heading "Today, I take no joy in an accurate prediction".

Here's the email he sent me in March, edited only very slightly for readability

Statement by FBI Director James Comey on Secretary Hillary Clinton’s Use of Personal E-Mail

By FBI Director James B. Comey

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 to the Department of Justice.

RUDY GIULIANI: "Today Hillary Clinton Was Put Way Above The Law"

By Tyler Durden

The reactions to the FBI's shocking announcement in which it announced it would not seek charges against Hillary Clinton are coming in fast and furious, with House Speaker Paul Ryan announcing moments ago that, at least in his view, Trump was spot on when he tweeted over the holiday weekend that the system is rigged when he said that the FBI's decision not to suggest the Department of Justice brings charges against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "defies explanation."

The most breathtaking and frightening fix in American history.

By David Horowitz

Today we have witnessed a most frightening manifestation of the corruption of our political system. Doubly frightening because of what it augurs for all our futures if Hillary Clinton should prevail in the November elections. At the center of this corruption – but hardly alone - are the criminal Clintons – the Bonnie and Clyde of American politics - and their Democratic Party allies; but we should not fail to mention also the Republican enablers who would rather fight each other and appease their adversaries than win the political wars. 

We knew they could fix the Department of Justice; we suspected they could fix the FBI. What we didn’t know was that the fixes would be this transparent: the secret meeting with a chief culprit and the DOJ head; the next day announcement by Justice that the Clinton bribery investigations would be postponed until well after the election; the suspiciously brief FBI interrogation of the former Secretary of State who during her entire tenure had recklessly breached national security protocols, deleted 30,000 emails; burned her government schedules; put top secret information onto a hackable server in violation of federal law; and topping it all the failure of the FBI director after enumerating her reckless acts to recommend a prosecution - all within a single week, and just in time for the Democrats’ nominating convention. It was, all in all, the most breathtaking fix in American history.

Fleeing to another country was not a realistic option for the entire American people. Accordingly, violent revolution was justified." --David Kopel

OBAMA'S PARTNERS IN PEACE: We Have 100,000 Missiles in Lebanon; "Opportunity to Detroy Israel is Now Better Than Ever"

It is now clear to even the most obtuse observers that Barack Obama misled the American people, treated the feckless Republican Congressional leaders like the fools they are, and basically behaved like a Bond villain in ensuring that the Iranian terror state could secure nuclear weapons.

Iran's leaders continue to celebrate the deal, most recently issuing public statements during an iftar meal to break the Ramadan fast. Each of Iran's leaders took turns calling for the destruction of the United States, Israel, and the West.

QOTD: "...The attorney general’s dumbfounding decision to meet privately with Bill Clinton while the FBI investigates Hillary’s handling of national secrets stained Lynch’s reputation and added to public mistrust of the Justice Department.

Lynch didn’t create that mistrust — she was supposed to be the antidote. Her predecessor, Eric Holder, was a left-wing activist who used his role as the nation’s chief law-enforcement officer to further his and Obama’s political agenda.

That role earned Holder an undesired distinction. His refusal to cooperate with Congress on the disastrous Fast and Furious gun sting led to a bipartisan vote in the House holding him in criminal contempt, the first time in history a sitting Cabinet member ever faced such a censure." --Michael Goodwin

Chris Christie's Bizarre Love Affair With Radical Islam

By IPT News

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's nomination of Sohail Mohammed to be a state judge shows the governor's tin ear for radical Islam. Not only did he appoint a longtime mouthpiece for radical Islamists to be a judge, but Christie has also turned a blind eye to the activities of one of Mohammed's clients – radical imam Mohammed Qatanani, head of one of New Jersey's largest mosques.

PIC: If we had a real system of justice...

...for making a mockery of justice by secretly meeting with the subject of an FBI investigation, Loretta Lynch would be engaging in a public walk of shame, Cersei Lannister-style.


We seem to be moving ever close to the barbaric system of justice viewers often see in the popular HBO series Game of Thrones, where Oligarchs rule with an iron fist and laws are for the little people.

But that's what we get, I guess, for electing a red diaper baby community agitator in 2008, who seems to despise this country, its traditions and its culture.

Norwegians discover way to defeat American Marines using bacon and small children

Hilarious (and presumably true) tale spotted at Reddit and authored by 1nf1del:

In the U.S. Marines, doing a mock war in the Norwegian city of Trondheim with the Dutch, Germans and other allies, training in urban combat. My infantry unit was positioned in a large soccer field next to an elementary school. Keep in mind there was no actual combat, even simulated; it was mostly just practicing maneuvers and tactics. But we still looked out of place with weapons and gear, etc. It's f***ing February. In Norway. Cold as balls. Snow up to our knees. Norway obviously has no snow days, so the kids were all in school.

Anyway, so Norway has this most delicious and amazing delicacy, I have no idea what it's called, but it's basically a bacon-wrapped hot dog; we just assumed it was called Candy of the Lord. As Americans we were naturally and instantly addicted. You find them at gas stations, and there just happened to be one on the other side of the school where we were camped. A few of my fellow Marines and I requested permission to go to the gas station and we set out on our way.

FBI, SHMEFF BEE EYE: Hillary Quite Certain That the Fix Is In

They don't call it the "Clinton News Network" for nothin':


FROM CINCINNATI TO D.C.: How Lois Lerner's IRS Ruthlessly Targeted the Tea Party

By Kimberley Strassel

Editor's Note: The Constitution and those who support it are under a vicious and multi-faceted attack by Democrats and their toadies in the media. Strassel's shocking new book -- The Intimidation Game -- is the first real account of how radical Marxists inside the Obama administration attacked political opponents. From Wisconsin to California, Strassel shines a tactical spotlight on the totalitarian fascists that infest Democrat politics.

Lois Lerner’s confession at that conference did contain one small truth. The IRS targeting scandal did indeed start in “Cincy”—as D.C. headquarters refers to that outpost. On a cold late February day in 2010, a Cincinnati screener named Jack Koester found himself focused on an application from a local Tea Party group.

EX-DOJ OFFICIAL: Don't Get Your Hopes Up For a Hillary Indictment, Peons

Appearing on The Rush Limbaugh Show yesterday, former Department of Justice official J. Christian Adams did his best to quash hopes for a well-deserved indictment as it pertains to Hillary Clinton's email scandal.

Aside from all sorts of impropriety on the part of the administration -- from Barack Obama pooh-poohing Clinton's mishandling of classified emails to Loretta Lynch meeting with the target of an FBI investigation -- Adams outlines the reality for those working inside the bureaucracy.

WHAT IS HAPPENING? Last 10 Months Were Worst Period For Floods and Fires in U.S. History

By Michael Snyder

As you read this article, the state of California is being ravaged by gigantic wildfires that are raging wildly out of control, and West Virginia is dealing with a “500 year flood”. Since last September, the U.S. has been hit by a series of 11 historic floods. Never before in American history have we seen so many major floods within such a compressed space of time. And just as the Shemitah year ended last September, massive wildfires began erupting all over the country. Thanks to that unprecedented outbreak of large fires, 2015 ended up being the worst year for wildfires in all of U.S. history. And since 2016 began, things have continued to get worse. As far as the total number of acres burned is concerned, we are more than a million acres ahead of the pace that was set last year. So why in the world is all of this happening?

QOTD: "...[The Benghazi Report] suggests the administration is failing in the most important duty of all. How high is confidence now that a second Pearl Harbor is impossible? Tom Cotton argued that one of the administration's biggest failures was to destroy deterrence. At the minimum the Benghazi report is an example of why America's enemies may no longer fear it. Once its defense bluff was gone, Benghazi was doomed...

...If the Benghazi report is a whitewash, it is a whitewash within a whitewash. Gowdy would have covered for Obama who covered for Panetta who covered for Benghazi which covered a secret op whose bottom is still far off. Somewhere in that murk Hillary may be found, together with Sarkozy and all the other European statesmen. A whitewash of that magnitude means the system is nearly totally corrupt and probably inoperative in parts.

The data points of the Obama years are too consistent to ignore. Snowden. OPM. The theft of billions of dollars of foreign military aid equipment by ISIS, the strange inability to defeat this third rate caliphate, etc. There is a danger that if you look under the hood of the mighty hot rod you'll find the giant engine the taxpayers think they bought has been replaced by a two-stroke.

That's the crime." --Richard Fernandez

IT AIN'T ABOUT GUNS: Democrats Super-Excited About Killing Off Your Due Process Rights

By Richard Larsen

The latest efforts to enact gun-control by Democrats in congress are either strictly symbolic, since they would not have stopped the San Bernadino or the Orlando Islamic extremists, or a Trojan horse to abolish the 2nd Amendment. Their proposal is to deny 2nd Amendment rights to anyone on the Transportation Safety Administration’s (TSA) “no-fly list.”

The murderers in San Bernadino and Orlando were not on the no-fly list, so even if such a law were in place, those acts of domestic terrorism would not have been prevented. So from that standpoint, such legislation would be mostly symbolic, and solve little to nothing.

It is much more likely, however, that the legislation is a Trojan horse to literally abolish 2nd Amendment rights of all, or more likely, select citizens.

BOOM: Hillary Clinton to Meet With FBI Investigators Tomorrow

Possibly triggered by the highly controversial, clandestine meeting between Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton, the FBI has announced that it has finally scheduled an interview with Hillary Clinton regarding her ever-expanding email scandal. Chuck Ross reports at The Daily Caller:

Former Sec. of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to meet Saturday with the FBI, a source close to the investigation into her private email server tells The Daily Caller.

The source went on to suggest the interview may take place at her Washington, D.C. home...

...Hundreds of now-classified documents — some of them “Top Secret” — were sent and received through Clinton’s private server, which she housed at her New York residence during her tenure at the State Department.

...FBI investigators have already interviewed several Clinton aides, including her former chief of staff Cheryl Mills and her deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin. Investigators have also interviewed Bryan Pagliano, the former State Department information technology specialist who maintained Clinton’s server. The Justice Department gave Pagliano limited immunity in exchange for his cooperation in the probe.

According to Ross, prior interviews during the investigation have been conducted by FBI agents, attorneys with the DOJ's National Security Division, and prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's office in Alexandria, Virginia.
