    Hillary and her crew pile on new rights that they dream up:
    Right to free health care
    Right to a living wage
    Right to a free college education

    But at the same time they want to strip Americans of the
    Right to due process
    Right to bear arms
    Right to free speech

    All without having to give thought to the constitution.

    All they need are a few judges in their back pocket.

    Only thing transparent about Hillary is her dishonesty
    By Post Editorial Board

    June 26, 2016

    Buried by last week’s Brexit furor was fresh news of Hillary Clinton’s efforts to cover up her abuses of power at the State Department. Two distinct Associated Press scoops show her concealing evidence.

    One is just a single email that she chose not to hand over in her supposedly complete dump of her work correspondence. It’s far from the first one recovered from other sources, but it’s telling because she opted to delete just the one email in a long exchange with top aide Huma Abedin.

    And because it’s a clear acknowledgment that Clinton’s reliance on her homebrew server posed risks.

    It was November 2010, and Abedin had urged the secretary to get onto the state.gov email system or look at “releasing your email address to the department” because State’s spam filter was blocking messages from clintonemail.com.

    No, came Clinton’s reply: “Let’s get separate address or device but I don’t want any risk of the personal being accessible” — almost certainly meaning, accessible to Freedom of Information Act requests.

    And it directly contradicts her repeated claims that she relied on the private account purely to avoid having to use more than one device.

    The other AP story uncovered the fact that Clinton had scrubbed at least 75 meetings with longtime political donors, Clinton Foundation funders, etc., from her official State calendar.

    That is, she didn’t want the public or the press to know how much time she was spending on personal business — or, rather, how much of her work at State was blended right in with pursuing the interests of Clinton Inc.

    Here’s the laughable spin from Clinton campaign spokesman Nick Merrill: The candidate “has always made an effort to be transparent since entering public life,” including “asking that 55,000 pages of work emails from her time of secretary of state be turned over to the public.”

    Yes, the 55,000 pages she handed over after being caught, more than two years after she left office. Team Hillary has yet to explain the work email records we now know she instead opted to destroy.

    The only thing transparent about Hillary Clinton is her transparent dishonesty.

  5. If this is all they can come up with it's pretty much a free pass for Clinton. And putting the blame on the military? That will get some blow-back. This whole thing stinks of cover up on mutiple levels, republicans included. Something was going on in Benghazi that makes the whole lot of them, R's and D's, look like the crimianlly corrupt gang that they are.
    House Republicans fault US military response to Benghazi
    AP 45 minutes ago

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A report by the House Benghazi panel is faulting the military for its slow response sending resources to Benghazi, Libya, during deadly 2012 attacks on a U.S. outpost, despite clear orders from President Barack Obama and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.

  6. Could they have found a bigger wuss to run this investigation than Trey Gowdy? Typical country club republican, deathly afraid of offending somebody.

    I wonder if he is part of the NeverTrump crowd? He certainly struck out in his press conference. He kept telling the media to read the report. Seriously? They want red meat soundbites, moron.

    Hillary is corrupt to the core.

    Largest Pro-Hillary Clinton Group Accused of Taking Illegal Donations
    by Rachel Stockman | 8:41 am, June 29th, 2016

    A pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC is accused of accepting illegal donations from a company that holds contracts with the federal government. That’s a big no-no under federal law. LawNewz.com reviewed the Center for Response Politics online federal database and found the Massachusetts-based Suffolk Construction donated at least $200,000 to the pro-Hillary group, Priorities USA, in July and December of 2015. As The Hill first reported, at the time of making the contributions, Suffolk Construction also held multiple contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense worth nearly $1 million. LawNewz confirmed that report through a search on usaspending.gov.

    Why is that a problem? Federal law says that is not allowed. Here is what the government’s website says (Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (2U.S.C.§441c(a):

    Federal government contractors may not make contributions to influence Federal elections. For example, if you are a consultant under contract to a Federal agency, you may not contribute to Federal candidates or political committees. Or, if you are the sole proprietor of a business with a Federal government contract, you may not make contributions from personal or business funds.

    And, in fact, Priorities USA, which is the largest pro-Clinton PAC, makes it clear to donors that federal contractors are not allowed to make contributions. This is what it says on their website:

    Priorities USA has nearly $52 million in cash, according to their most recent FEC filings.

    Some have raised concerns that the ban on federal contractors raises constitutional concerns regarding freedom of speech. And, in fact, the FEC has been slow to act on these type of cases. In 2014, in a 5 to 1 vote, the FEC dismissed charges against the Chevron Corporation saying that the company could not be held liable merely because it had a subsidiary that was a federal contractor.

    “Every indication at this point is that the federal pay-to-play law applies to super PACs, though this question has yet to be litigated. The federal law explicitly prohibits federal contractors from making campaign contributions to federal candidates, parties and PACs, and super PACs are federal PACs,” Craig Holman from the nonprofit advocacy group Public Citizen wrote in a recent post.

    LawNewz.com has reached out to Priorities USA and the Suffolk Construction company for comment. We will update this post if we hear back.

    Democrats: Now we all know that nothing untoward happened in the meeting between AG Lynch and Bill Clinton, but it was just such bad optics.
