Trump cheats at golf - the ONE and ONLY politics thread

Republicans?

The FBI is investigating her.

Five separate field offices of the FBI are investigating the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Foundation.

And, we're worried about her aides' "baggage".

Yeah, let's put Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office, but bounce Huma Abedin and Jake Sullivan into obscurity.

 

Clinton housekeeper, at Whitehaven, her DC mansion, sure has a lot of baggage.

I wonder if she'll get a White House job.

As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton routinely asked her maid to print out sensitive government e-mails and documents — including ones containing classified information — from her house in Washington, DC, e-mails and FBI memos show. But the housekeeper lacked the security clearance to handle such material.

In fact, Marina Santos was called on so frequently to receive e-mails that she may hold the secrets to E-mailgate — if only the FBI and Congress would subpoena her and the equipment she used.

Clinton entrusted far more than the care of her DC residence, known as Whitehaven, to Santos. She expected the Filipino immigrant to handle state secrets, further opening the Democratic presidential nominee to criticism that she played fast and loose with national security.

Clinton would first receive highly sensitive e-mails from top aides at the State Department and then request that they, in turn, forward the messages and any attached documents to Santos to print out for her at the home.

Among other things, Clinton requested Santos print out drafts of her speeches, confidential memos and “call sheets” — background information and talking points prepared for the secretary of state in advance of a phone call with a foreign head of state.

At this point, YF, the phrases "FBI" and "Republicans" appear to have become synonyms.

 

So much for that fiscal responsibility thing.

 

This is great.

James Comey is the guy who raced to the hospital to beat Alberto Gonzales and Andy Card to John Ashcroft's bedside, and to prevent them from getting him to reauthorize domestic surveillance.

On the night of March 10, 2004, as Attorney General John D. Ashcroft lay ill in an intensive-care unit, his deputy, James B. Comey, received an urgent call.

White House Counsel Alberto R. Gonzales and President Bush's chief of staff, Andrew H. Card Jr., were on their way to the hospital to persuade Ashcroft to reauthorize Bush's domestic surveillance program, which the Justice Department had just determined was illegal.

In vivid testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, Comey said he alerted FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III and raced, sirens blaring, to join Ashcroft in his hospital room, arriving minutes before Gonzales and Card. Ashcroft, summoning the strength to lift his head and speak, refused to sign the papers they had brought. Gonzales and Card, who had never acknowledged Comey's presence in the room, turned and left.

Gonzales Hospital Episode Detailed

He may be a Republican, but he's not driven by partisan ideology. He proved this again in July when he declined to recommend an indictment of Hillary Clinton, or any of her top aides.

But, now, because he's letting the investigation take him where it leads, we're going to declare that he's a partisan Republican, looking to throw the election to Donald Trump.

 

It has been reported by multiple media outlets, and admitted by surrogate Rudy Giuliani, that FBI agents are leaking information, some of which has been proven false, to the Trump campaign. This is at best a major violation of FBI policy. That was what I was referring to, not Comey.

 

Watergate was the result of an FBI associate director leaking. Spare me the pearl clutching about leaks.

 

Because it's not a defense, its stating a fact that you don't need booths to collect tolls, which you don't. Reading comprehension.

 

I don't think Clinton is "corrupt" as Republicans say. But I tire of the dismissiveness of the email server as much as I tire of the hyperbole about it. It was probably a disqualifying action, if only she were not running against the most unfit candidate in general election history. She's paranoid and secretive. Seeing how often servers are hacked should make everyone uneasy about what she did because ... who knows why? Because she's Hillary f-in' Clinton.

 

Bernie Bros as elector is not a pleasant thought for the Clinton campaign:
