The FBI Is the Regime’s Secret Police
When FBI Director James Comey announced on July 5 that the Department of Justice would not seek the indictment of Hillary Clinton for failure to safeguard state secrets related to her email use while she was secretary of state, he both jumped the gun and set in motion a series of events that surely he did not intend. Was his hand forced by the behavior of FBI agents who wouldn’t take no for an answer? Did he let the FBI become a political tool?
Here is the back story.
The FBI began investigating the Clinton email scandal in the spring of 2015, when The New York Times revealed Clinton’s use of a private email address for her official governmental work and the fact that she did not preserve the emails on State Department servers, contrary to federal law. After an initial collection of evidence and a round of interviews, agents and senior managers gathered in the summer of 2015 to discuss how to proceed. It was obvious to all that a prima-facie case could be made for espionage, theft of government property and obstruction of justice charges. The consensus was to proceed with a formal criminal investigation.

Are Hillary’s Eyes Cattywampus?
TUCSON, Ariz., Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Concerns about Hillary Clinton’s health have been subdued after her three debate performances. She presented her ability to survive 4-and-a-half hours on a stage with Donald Trump as proof of sufficient stamina to serve as commander-in-chief.
“She evidently intended this as a joke, although I suspect our combat veterans would not be amused,” states AAPS executive director Jane Orient, M.D.
Videos are, however, circulating on the internet, from her rather brief and rare appearances in public, which are purported to show pathological eye movements.
“These are quick, episodic, and inconsistent,” states Dr. Orient, who is an internist. “So we decided to ask doctors on our email list to have a look at one of the videos. A helpful tool is to paste the URL intohttp://RowVid.com and watch it at half or quarter speed.”
Nearly two-thirds of respondents said they saw abnormal movements. Only 15% did not, and 21% were unsure. There are long segments in which the eye movements appear normal.
About 60% of those who saw abnormal movements thought “the cause could be a potentially disabling neurological condition,” and none of them were willing to say that it isn’t.

Project Veritas Video Reveals Who Was Really Behind "Mitt Romney's 47% Video"
Back in the 2012 election, Mitt Romney's campaign was effectively sunk when a video emerged from a private fundraiser in which he said that 47% of the electorate was "dependent upon government" handouts and would vote democrat no matter what. The corrupt mainstream media had a field day with the video replaying it on a continuous loop for weeks.
Shortly thereafter, the "mystery man" behind the video was revealed by MSNBC as a bartender at the event named Scott Prouty. But, thanks to the latest Project Veritas video, we now know the bartender was just a coverup for another planned attack coordinated by Robert Creamer and Scott Foval.
So is this what Michelle meant when she said, "when they go low, we go high?"
Foval: "And then I don't know if you remember, well from, they are the ones who negotiated to get that lawyer in Florida who recorded the 47% video."
Journalist: "Wait, I thought was a bartender."
Foval: "It was actually a lawyer at the event. It was not a bartender. No, the lawyer took his phone and had the bartender walk around with it and set it up. It was a whole coordinated operation to get the phone in because they had taken away all the cell phones from all the staff and so what they did was they set it up in the room.

Audit: Bill Clinton Inflated Tax Write-Off by Overvaluing His Old Underpants
Americans for Tax Reform recently reviewed Bill Clinton’s tax returns and discovered he overpriced the value of his used underpants and other clothing items that he donated to charity to increase his tax write-off when he was governor of Arkansas.
Clinton hand wrote in 1986 multiple deductions for clothing items that he was donating to the Salvation Army, the Washington Examiner reported.
As governor of Arkansas in 1986, Clinton hand wrote a $6 charity deduction for “3 pr. underwear” that even today are only valued at $1 each, according to the analysis from Americans for Tax Reform. He also claimed $75 for “Garbardine suit – ripped pants” valued by Salvation Army this year at $10-$60.
For just 10 items the Clintons overvalued in their 1986 tax returns, said the group headed by Grover Norquist, they were able to take a write-off of over $1,500 in 2016 dollars.

Clinton Campaign Circulated Paul Ryan Relative as Possible Supreme Court Pick
Another reason as to why Ryan tried to sabotage Trump's campaign?
Hillary Clinton’s campaign circulated the name of one of Paul Ryan’s relatives as a potential Supreme Court pick, suggesting a conflict of interest that could feed in to the Republican Speaker of the House’s dislike for Donald Trump.
An email released in part 19 of the Wikileaks Podesta dump features an article sent by Hillary advisor Sara Solow to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and Hillary’s foreign policy advisor Jake Sullivan on February 29, 2016.
The piece draws attention to Ketanji Brown Jackson, a judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
“She was confirmed by without any Republican opposition in the Senate not once, but *twice*. She was confirmed to her current position in 2013 by unanimous consent – that is, without any stated opposition. She was also previously confirmed unanimously to a seat on the U.S. Sentencing Commission (where she became vice chair),” reads the email.

Hogan Proposes $82M In Cuts As Maryland Faces Shortfall
Gov. Larry Hogan will propose about $82 million in cuts and spending transfers to help address a Maryland budget shortfall.
David Brinkley, Hogan’s budget chief, said Friday the cuts will be brought to the Board of Public Works meeting next week. The governor’s budget office estimates the state is facing a shortfall of up to $250 million this fiscal year.
Brinkley says there will be a $20 million cut to Medicare funding, which will be offset by cigarette restitution funds. Another $18 million will be cut from the University System of Maryland, including the abolition of 60 vacant positions and 41 filled positions.
The proposal also shaves $4 million for the Sellinger Program for independent, nonprofit colleges and another $4 million in disparity grants to local governments.

Mexico’s Human Rights Commission has issued a warning about the incoming waves of Haitian and African migrants arriving and on their way to the U.S. border.
According to public statements made by the CNDH’s National Ombudsman Luis Raul Gonzalez Perez, the commission is concerned over the hundreds of Haitians and African nationals that have been making their way north through Latin America. The warning was issued for Mexico to prepare sanitary accommodations and staff its federal agencies to provide care and avoid the spread of diseases such as cholera.
Breitbart Texas has been reporting on the waves of African and Haitian immigrants that have been working Mexico’s immigration system in order to legally make their way through that country. Mexican immigration authorities give the the immigrants a special permit that grants them legal status in Mexico for 20 days so they can leave the country.

Morici: The Wheels Are Coming Off Obamacare
Obamacare is becoming a nightmare. Health insurance premiums will jump an average of 22 percent in 2017, and federal spending to assist moderate income families is spinning out of control.
For Democrats, the answers are simple—raise taxes on the wealthy to further subsidize a failing system—or force a single payer system—which can dictate prices to service providers and compel their participation—onto reluctant Americans.
For conservative Republicans, the issue is more vexing. Merely repealing the law is not enough, because that would hardly return America to a free market.
Even before the Affordable Care Act, federal and state governments were paying nearly half of the nation’s health care bills.

ABC Poll Oversamples Dems by 9%, Claims Hillary Leading
Mainstream media oversampling Democrats to create fake Hillary lead
In another example of poll rigging, an ABC presidential poll surveyed 9% more Democrats than Republicans and showed Hillary Clinton leading by 12% – with a 3% sampling error!
ABC claims it’s a “12-point race” with Clinton ahead after polling a “random” national sample of 1,155 likely voters, but the poll’s methodology reveals the poll was heavily biased in favor of Hillary.
“Results have a margin of sampling error of 3 points, including the design effect. Partisan divisions are 36-27-31 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents,” ABC said near the bottom of the poll.

Anne Arundel Co. Detention Centers May Soon Be Housing Illegal Immigrants
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Empty cells at Anne Arundel County Detention Centers may soon be filled, all while earning the county millions of dollars.
Anne Arundel County is in negotiations to house undocumented immigrants that are awaiting deportation. And although things aren’t final, immigration advocates say this is a slippery slope.
County Executive Steve Schuh has been working out a deal with U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, ICE, to use the 130 free beds at the county jail to house undocumented immigrants facing deportation.
County Spokesman Owen McEvoy says it could bring in millions for the county.

Wikileaks Email: Clinton Operative Thinks "Black Voters Are Stupid"
David Brock accused of "elitist racism"
A new email released as part of the Wikileaks Podesta dump features Clinton ally Brent Budowsky accusing Hillary operative David Brock of having a plan that relied upon black voters being “stupid”.
The email, sent to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta and another Clinton ally CEO Roy Spence, centers around a discussion of a Bernie Sanders campaign ad which featured “many black faces”.
Back in January, Clinton operative David Brock caused consternation within the campaign when he publicly claimed that Bernie Sanders didn’t care about black people.
Budowsky is not impressed with Brock’s outburst, writing in the email, “Brock makes the cardinal mistake of those who bring politics into disrepute with voters. He tells a lie that people will know is a lie, and insults the intelligence of black voters with a kind of elitist racism that Bill and Hillary Clinton should not be seen with.”

Ron Fournier: Clinton Used Secret Server To Protect 'Circle Of Enrichment'
Ron Fournier, appearing on Morning Joe on Thursday, explained that Hillary Clinton used a private server while Secretary of State to protect the “circle of enrichment” surrounding the Clinton Foundation.
Joe Scarborough led off Fournier’s appearance by referencing a column Fournier wrote back in 2015 in which he quoted an anonymous Clinton source who had suggested to Fournier that he “follow the money” from the Clinton Foundation.
“The reason she had a secret server,” Fournier said referencing Secretary Clinton. “Because the circle of enrichment, the phrase that the Washington Post pulled up today, that was clear even then. There were already some connections between Doug Band and shaking down donors at the time, and this person was saying this is really about the Foundation.”

Erica Garner rips Clinton camp over emails on her father's death in WikiLeaks emails
Erica Garner, the daughter of police chokehold victim Eric Garner, ripped the Hillary Clinton campaign in a series of tweets Thursday after new campaign emails released by WikiLeaks showed how the Democratic nominee's staffers discussed the death of her father.
“I’m troubled by the revelation that you and this campaign actually discussed ‘using’ Eric Garner … Why would you want to ‘use my dad?” Garner tweetedalong with a link to emails released by WikiLeaks. “These people will co opt anything to push their agenda. Police violence is not the same as gun violence.
“I'm vey (sic) interested to know exactly what @CoreyCiorciari meant when he said ‘I know we have an Erica Garner problem’ in the #PodestaEmails19,” added Garner.

'Make Soros happy': Inside Clinton team's mission to please billionaire VIP
Newly revealed emails posted by WikiLeaks show top aides to Hillary Clinton went out of their way to keep a certain VIP happy: Uber-liberal billionaire George Soros.
The emails, hacked from the account of Clinton Campaign Chairman and Soros ally John Podesta, disclose that Clinton was advised to do fundraisers simply to make Soros “happy.” They also indicate the 85-year-old Hungarian-born heavyweight, through his top aides, freely reached out to Podesta to make Soros’ wishes clear on issues ranging from trade to migration to the Supreme Court.
In one instance, trusted Clinton adviser Huma Abedin wrote to now-Campaign Manager Robby Mook on Oct. 7, 2014, to tell him Clinton was having dinner with Soros. Abedin said she expected Soros would eventually ask Clinton to appear at a fundraiser for America Votes, one of the many liberal organizations Soros helps fund, and Abedin wanted to know how to proceed.
“I would only do this for political reasons (ie to make Soros happy),” Mook replied

First Day Of Early Voting Sets New Turnout Record
Marylanders set a new first day early voting turnout record.
State elections officials said 125,914 Maryland voters checked in statewide Thursday, crushing the 2012 early-voting Day 1 total of 78,409. That’s also nearly 30 percent of all early voting in 2012.
In perspective, there were 430,547 people who voted over all the early voting days in 2012.
The previous record highest voting turnout was in 2012 with 107,385 voters.
But voters who wanted to cast a ballot on the first day of early voting in Maryland did have to wait.
"It was time-consuming, you know, but it was all worth it," said Dorothy Williams, who voted early.

Hillary Clinton scandals, FBI 'politicization' date back to first lady tenure
Hillary Clinton remains embroiled in email and pay-for-play scandals from her days as secretary of state, but as first lady she also fell into questionable behavior that dogged her husband’s first term.
The scandals were known as Travelgate and Filegate, and both set off extensive investigations, resignations, charges and countercharges of lying, file-scrubbing and unethical conduct.
The early 1990s shared issues and people with 2016: Twenty years ago, there were the Clintons, of course. There was the “politicization” of the FBI, as one committee report put it. Mrs. Clinton’s staunch defender, Lanny Davis, appeared on TV blasting her critics, as he does today.
The conservative watchdog Judicial Watch sued the Clinton administration then, as it has done more recently, to compel disclosure of her State Department emails, of which more than 30,000 were destroyed — off-limits to theFBI. In the 1990s, White House files also went missing.
“FBI leadership has a long history of kowtowing to the Clintons,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “And it meant that front-line FBI agents were either boxed in, abused or hung out to dry. Nothing has changed in 20 years. If anything, the Clintons have perfected the art of intimidating federal law enforcement.”
