Judge: open that Hillary Clinton email door

I’ve written and said a few things since November 8th of last year.

  • The Demorats have not yet come to grips with the reality of November 9th;
  • There is no “there” there with regard to Trump and Russia;
  • The Demorats will come to regret the day they insisted on opening the Russia door as it’s going to lead to other doors and hallways quite unpleasant for the Demorats themselves.

It would appear that day is arriving sooner than the Demorats would like.

First, from JudicialWatch.org:

Judicial Watch Victory: Federal Court Orders State Department to Conduct a Search of Benghazi Emails of Hillary Clinton’s Closest Advisors

(Washington, DC) — Judicial Watch announced that on August 8, 2017, D.C. District Court Judge Amit P. Mehta ordered the State Department “to search the state.gov e-mail accounts of Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, and Jacob Sullivan,” former aides of Hillary Clinton during her tenure as Secretary of State. The State Department is ordered to search in those accounts “for records responsive to [Judicial Watch’s] March 4, 2015, FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] request.” (A separate Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuit first broke open the Clinton email scandal.)

Good news for truth, bad news for the Clinton campaign and aligned Demorats.

Judge Mehta described Judicial Watch’s Clinton Benghazi FOIA lawsuit as “a far cry from a typical FOIA case. Secretary Clinton used a private e-mail server, located in her home, to transmit and receive work-related communications during her tenure as Secretary of State.” Further:

[I]f an e-mail did not involve any state.gov user, the message would have passed through only the Secretary’s private server and, therefore, would be beyond the immediate reach of State. Because of this circumstance, unlike the ordinary case, State could not look solely to its own records systems to adequately respond to [Judicial Watch’s] demand.

***

[The State Department] has not, however, searched the one records system over which it has always had control and that is almost certain to contain some responsive records: the state.gov e-mail server. If Secretary Clinton sent an e-mail about Benghazi to Abedin, Mills, or Sullivan at his or her state.gov e-mail address, or if one of them sent an e-mail to Secretary Clinton using his or her state.gov account, then State’s server presumably would have captured and stored such an e-mail. Therefore, State has an obligation to search its own server for responsive records.

***

State has offered no assurance that the three record compilations it received [from Secretary Clinton and her aides], taken together, constitute the entirety of Secretary Clinton’s e-mails during the time period relevant to Plaintiff’s FOIA Request. Absent such assurance, the court is unconvinced “beyond material doubt” that a search of the state.gov accounts of Abedin, Mills and Sullivan is “unlikely to produce any marginal return.”

***

Accordingly, the court finds that State has not met its burden of establishing it performed an adequate search in response to Plaintiff’s FOIA Request and orders State to conduct a supplemental search of the state.gov e-mail accounts of Abedin, Mills, and Sullivan.

You can read the Judicial Watch document here.

But wait; there’s more.

Judicial Watch asked a federal court to compel the Trump State Department to undertake a thorough search of all emails of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regarding the terrorist attack on Benghazi, including those of Clinton’s closest advisors. Judicial Watch also specifically asked the court to compel the agency to produce all records of communications between Clinton and top aide Jake Sullivan relating to Ambassador Susan Rice’s appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” the Sunday following the 2012 Benghazi massacre.

Oh, and it doesn’t stop there. From GatewayPundit.com:

Democrat Party Faces Fundraising Crisis As “Doom and Gloom” Message Falls Flat in Trump-era

by Joshua Caplan

The Democrat Party in the Trump-era is in shambles. The Party is moving full speed ahead towards the 2018 midterms without a message, a destructive fixation on Russia and a looming fundrasing crisis. Today’s “doom and gloom” message isn’t working with voters. 

Under the leadership of former Obama official Tom Perez, a new FEC report reveals the DNC finished the month of June $3.3 million in debt.

The month of May wasn’t any better for the DNC, which reported $1.9 million in debt.

In contrast, the RNC is on an amazing financial run, having raised a whopping $13.4 million in June.

How are you going to get back all those seats lost to Republicans, not to mention governorships, when you have no cash, DNC?

These, ladies and gentlemen, are called “consequences.”

“Guccifer” says he hacked Hillary’s home server

Hilary Clinton ELECT MEMeaning: he saw classified information on Hillary’s “home-brewed” server of convenience and arrogance?

Quite possibly.  It is already acknowledged that there were classified emails sent and received on her private server.

“Guccifer” said it was “easy” to breach her private server.

From NBCNews.com:

Hacker ‘Guccifer’: I Got Inside Hillary Clinton’s Server

The Romanian hacker who first exposed Hillary Clinton’s private email address is making a bombshell new claim — that he also gained access to the former Secretary of State’s “completely unsecured” server.

“It was like an open orchid on the Internet,” Marcel Lehel Lazar, who uses the devilish handle Guccifer, told NBC News in an exclusive interview from a prison in Bucharest. “There were hundreds of folders.”

Wonderful.  “Hundreds of folders.”

But it makes perfect sense.  “Guccifer’s” extradition to the US was no coincidence.  Please read this article.

Hillary Clinton OVERBITEHillary Clinton doing what she did — creating a home server just for herself simply because it was 1) more convenient for her, and 2) provided her with more instant control and authority (read: kept secret) — was a slap in the face to those persons who play by the rules with regard to classified United States government information.

Hillary Clinton took an oath to keep government secrets as required, and she signed non-disclosure documents indicating she would keep those secrets.  Just as I had to sign documents when I acquired my own Top Secret + clearance.  I had a duty and an obligation to keep what I knew and found secret, to not disclose them in any fashion.  A duty to my country and a duty to its citizens.

Hillary Clinton felt no such duty.  She is a Clinton.  She is above the rest of us common proles, groundlings, serfs.

What can Guccifer prove, and does this come out?  He wasn’t, after all, extradited just for shits and grins.

Hillary has two problems: 1) How this information may damage her candidacy for president as she is under active FBI investigation, and 2) How this and other information may indicate her actions have truly put US national security in jeopardy.  Her mouth pablum about “yoga classes” may not play well with James Comey.  Hillary Clinton faces being revealed as a criminal and a bald liar.

Clinton set up her private server to evade public scrutiny and scrutiny by Obama, as said Judge Andrew Napolitano, and failed to protect state secrets in at least 2,200 instances as Secretary of State.  She received a two-hour tutorial from FBI agents on the proper care and the legal handling of state secrets before she swore an oath to protect them as Secretary of State.  This occurred on her first day in office.

“She had an obligation to recognize and protect information on the basis of its sensitive nature, and not whether they bore classified warnings or not.”

Judge Andrew Napolitano also said “Recently the Department of Justice referred to its investigation of Mrs Clinton as ‘a law enforcement proceeding.’  That was the first public acknowledgement by the Justice Department that it is in fact investigating criminal behavior, and it directly contradicts Mrs Clinton’s assertions that the FBI investigation is merely a routine review of State Department classification procedures.”

Napolitano says, “Perhaps she should tell her husband what was on that server before she tries to use him as a not-so-secret weapon.  Perhaps she now recognizes how hard pressed she will be to claim to the FBI or to a jury that she did not know the satellite photos of a North Korean nuclear facility or transcripts from wiretaps of Yemeni intelligence agents, cell phone calls, or the itinerary of the late US ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and the days before his murder or the true names of American intelligence undercover agents, all of which were in her emails, were in fact state secrets.  She knows now that this is not just a game.”

Let us not forget that Superdelegates kicked Hillary Clinton to the curb for Obaka in 2008 — and could potentially do the same again.  They too recognize how certain political prairie winds blow.

Further: how does Bernie Sanders handle this?  Does he pretend, to the American public, that this news isn’t out in the open?

Does Bernie read the letters “IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS” and grab the little hammer?

I feel completely reassured in the fidelity of James Comey and his FBI.  It will be the DOJ that dances to the tune of Barack Hussein Obaka.

If no indictment, it will be up to certain elements to release certain amounts of information to certain personnel about the issue.

Trust me, ladies and gentlemen.  I still have contacts.  This grates in the craw of good FBI agents just as it grates on us as well.

P.S.

Good news for Clinton supporters.  If Hillary is elected, she’ll likely hang for eight years instead of a mere four.  After that, she could throw her support over to her daughter Chelsea.  Chelsea Clinton is already 36 years old and age-eligible for president.
