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.”

Voter fraud? Of course not. Unless you’re talking about California

Amongst other states. This is just the beginning. And why is it only fraud for the Left? That’s a toughie to suss out, isn’t it? A real forehead-slapper, eh wot?

Judicial Watch Warns California: 11 Counties Have More Voters than Voting-Age Citizens

by Joel B Pollak

Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog organization, has sent a letter to California Secretary of State Alex Padilla on behalf of the Election Integrity Project, noting that there are 11 counties in the state with more registered voters, and alleging that the state may be out of compliance with Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

The letter contains a threat to sue the Secretary of State if Padilla does not remove from the rolls “persons who have become ineligible to vote by reason of death, change in residence, or a disqualifying criminal conviction, and to remove noncitizens who have registered to vote unlawfully.” It gives Padilla 14 days to respond, and 90 days to correct alleged violations of the law.

“This is not the voter fraud you’re looking for,” Demorats insist nationally.

Wait now, just wait. Hold up on that car wash.

California Voter Rolls a Joke Say Judicial Watch, Election Integrity Project

by Jeff Powers

In a letter dated August 1, 2017 and sent to California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, Judicial Watch is demanding the state clean up its voter rolls.

In cooperation with the Election Integrity Project, Judicial Watch contends the state of California is in violation of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) as they claim “eleven counties in California have more registered voters than citizen voting age population calculated by the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2011-2015 American Community Survey.”

The NVRA requires states to conduct reasonable list maintenance to maintain an accurate record of eligible voters for federal elections.

Eleven counties? Which ones?

  • Imperial (102%)
  • Lassen (102%)
  • Los Angeles (112%)
  • Monterey (104%)
  • San Diego (138%)
  • San Francisco (114%)
  • San Mateo (111%)
  • Santa Cruz (109%)
  • Solano (111%)
  • Stanislaus (102%)
  • Yolo (110%)

I wonder, just wonder, to which party most of those counties slant? It is Fornicalia, after all.

A copy of the letter sent by Judicial Watch to California Secretary of State is here.

Voter fraud favoring Demorats and Leftists simply doesn’t exist, as we all know. Yet:

No voter fraud here.

No electronic voter fraud here.

No voter fraud here.

No biased voter fraud here in favor of Demorats.

No voter fraud here.

No voter fraud here.

No voter fraud here.

No voter fraud here for Eric Holder.

No voter fraud here.

I’m running out of space and motivation. The examples are endless.

I think you Grok the picture.

Obama’s newest cagey OBSTRUCTION on Susan Rice documents

My, Barack Hussein Obama is being quite clever again, by moving documents relating to Susan Rice and her unmasking of Republicans to his library so that they may now be sealed and inaccessible.

From Breitbart.com:

Judicial Watch: Susan Rice ‘Unmasking’ Documents Moved from NSC to Obama Library

by Kristina Wong

The National Security Council cannot hand over records relating to former National Security Adviser Susan Rice’s surveillance of Americans, because they have been moved to the Obama presidential library and may be sealed for as many as five years, conservative watchdog Judicial Watch announced Monday.

Of course, the first thing one thinks is: surely nothing but innocent coincidence, yes?

The NSC informed Judicial Watch in a letter dated May 23 that materials related to Rice’s requests to know the identities of Americans swept up in surveillance of foreign targets, including any Trump campaign or transition officials, have been moved to the library.

The NSC’s Director of Access Management John Powers said in the letter:

Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.

Now if this isn’t perfect, I don’t know what is.

Judicial Watch earlier this year filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for those documents, including of communications between Rice and any intelligence community member or agency regarding any Russian involvement in the 2016 elections, the hacking of Democratic National Committee computers, or any suspected communications between Russia and Trump officials.

It began as I documented here when, in his last days, Mr Obama changed a few things.

And in his final days in office, Obama created the largest ever expansion of access to non-minimized NSA intercepts, creating a path for all U.S. intelligence to gain access to unmasked reports by changes encoded in a Reagan-era Executive Order 12333.

The government officials who could request or approve an exception to unmask a U.S. citizen’s identity has grown substantially. The NSA now has 20 executives who can approve the unmasking of American information inside intercepts, and the FBI has similar numbers.

And executives in 16 agencies — not just the FBI, CIA and NSA — have the right to request unmasked information.

Confirmed by the NYTimes.com, you see.

N.S.A. Gets More Latitude to Share Intercepted Communications

by Charlie Savage

WASHINGTON — In its final days, the Obama administration has expanded the power of the National Security Agency to share globally intercepted personal communications with the government’s 16 other intelligence agencies before applying privacy protections.

The new rules significantly relax longstanding limits on what the N.S.A. may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations, which are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. These include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between people abroad that cross domestic network switches.

The change means that far more officials will be searching through raw data. Essentially, the government is reducing the risk that the N.S.A. will fail to recognize that a piece of information would be valuable to another agency, but increasing the risk that officials will see private information about innocent people.

Why are these documents important? Because, if you recall, it was Susan Rice who was responsible for the unmasking of Trump and others in his campaign and staff via NSA intercepts.

Mike Cernovich wrote:

Susan Rice Requested Unmasking of Incoming Trump Administration Officials

Susan Rice, who served as the National Security Adviser under President Obama, has been identified as the official who requested unmasking of incoming Trump officials, Cernovich Media can exclusively report.

The White House Counsel’s office identified Rice as the person responsible for the unmasking after examining Rice’s document log requests. The reports Rice requested to see are kept under tightly-controlled conditions. Each person must log her name before being granted access to them.

Upon learning of Rice’s actions, H. R. McMaster dispatched his close aide Derek Harvey to Capitol Hill to brief Chairman Nunes.

This reporter has been informed that Maggie Haberman has had this story about Susan Rice for at least 48 hours, and has chosen to sit on it in an effort to protect the reputation of former President Barack Obama.

The House Intelligence Committee has also subpoenaed the intelligence community for information on unmasking requests by Rice, former CIA Director John Brennan, and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Powers. Guess what? Crickets.

Isn’t this the perfect circular firing squad? And isn’t it wonderful when the Demorats get to so thoroughly pre-plan their obstruction via Barack Hussein Obama?

Obama/Holder Fast & Furious firearm used in ISIS attack

Democrat Jedi Mind TricksRight off the bat, from JudicialWatch.org:

Law Enforcement Sources: Gun Used in Paris Terrorist Attacks Came from Phoenix

One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks came from Phoenix, Arizona where the Obama administration allowed criminals to buy thousands of weapons illegally in a deadly and futile “gun-walking” operation known as “Fast and Furious.”

A Report of Investigation (ROI) filed by a case agent in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) tracked the gun used in the Paris attacks to a Phoenix gun owner who sold it illegally, “off book,” Judicial Watch’s law enforcement sources confirm. Federal agents tracing the firearm also found the Phoenix gun owner to be in possession of an unregistered fully automatic weapon, according to law enforcement officials with firsthand knowledge of the investigation.

The investigative follow up of the Paris weapon consisted of tracking a paper trail using a 4473 form, which documents a gun’s ownership history by, among other things, using serial numbers. The Phoenix gun owner that the weapon was traced back to was found to have at least two federal firearms violations—for selling one weapon illegally and possessing an unregistered automatic—but no enforcement or prosecutorial action was taken against the individual. Instead, ATF leaders went out of their way to keep the information under the radar and ensure that the gun owner’s identity was “kept quiet,” according to law enforcement sources involved with the case. “Agents were told, in the process of taking the fully auto, not to anger the seller to prevent him from going public,” a veteran law enforcement official told Judicial Watch.

Please note this:

Judicial Watch has thoroughly investigated Fast and Furious and has sued the Obama administration for information about the once-secret operation.

Of course, this is the same operation that, under Eric Holder’s DOJ watch, ended up killing USBP Agent Brian Terry.  Which is why the seller, as mentioned above, was “kept quiet” and not sent to a festering federal prison.

There will be no information of this disseminated via the American Media Maggots this week as they will be preoccupied by bleating about Hillary Clinton having “beaten” the spurious charges leveled against her by partisan hacks regarding her home-brew email server — the one that was hacked by Russia, China and the Norks.  Nah.  Nothing to see here.  Move along.

Corruption, corruption and moar corruption, thy name is Demorats.

Don’t let it bother you in the slightest.

Let’s talk about safe spaces, shall we?

El Chapo had a “Fast & Furious” firearm in hideout

El Chapo Victims

Some of El Chapo’s terrible handiwork in Mexico. F&F firearms were used to kill El Chapo’s enemies and innocents alike.

And not just “any” firearm; oh no.

FAST AND FURIOUS GraphicYou remember Holder’s “Fast & Furious” debacle, right?  The one where US Attorney General Eric Holder’s BATFE thought it would be a splendid idea to allow weapons to cross into Mexico under its “supervision” as Operation Gunrunner, then later as Operation Fast and Furious.  More than 2,000 guns were sold to suspected criminals thought to be linked to the Sinaloa drug cartel and other Mexican criminal organizations in the two years of the operation under the Obama presidency.  Shock of shocks, there were criminals involved.  So in essence the BATFE knowingly allowed US weapons to be “walked” into Mexico.  BATFE agents lost track of 1,400 of the 2,000 guns sold.

On Dec. 14, 2010, US Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was killed during a gunfight. It was discovered that weapons in the shootout stemmed from the Fast and Furious operation.  A BATFE scheme, therefore, was directly responsible for the death of an American law enforcement officer.

USBP Agent Brian TerryLet us also not forget that documents about F&F were handed over to Representative Darrell Issa’s House Oversight Committee in November of 2014 (four years after the murder of Agent Terry) only after the White House tried to use executive privilege in an attempt to halt emails related to the case, and contempt of Congress charges against Attorney General Eric Holder in 2012,  On June 28th of 2012, AG Holder was in fact held in contempt of Congress — the first time ever for a US presidential cabinet member.

Eric Holder Finger Pointing Kiss My AssHere’s something else people conveniently forget: Emails released to Judicial Watch, a group that filed suit to obtain legal documents from the Justice Department, showed Holder’s direct involvement with officials throughout the Justice Department and the ATF in how to handle congressional inquiries and ways to format talking points about Fast and Furious.

In other words, how to obfuscate and minimize.

Yesterday, from FoxNews.com:

‘Fast & Furious’ rifle capable of taking down helicopter found in ‘El Chapo’ cache

by William La Jeunesse

A.50-caliber rifle found at Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s hideout in Mexico was funneled through the gun-smuggling investigation known as Fast and Furious, sources confirmed Tuesday to Fox News.

When agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives checked serial numbers of the eight weapons found in his possession, they found one of the two .50-caliber weapons traced back to the ATF program, sources said.

Barrett M82 Sniper RifleYou cannot convince me that Project Gunrunner and Operation Fast & Furious weren’t crafted by the Obama administration as an excuse to enact more gun control regulations across the board.  CBS had the records to indicate so.

The NRA’s Wayne LaPierre nailed the issue when he said:

We wouldn’t know about this at all if [Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry] had not been killed and some of the good, honest, decent federal agents down the line had enough of the stench coming out of Washington and started to use the Whistleblower Act to go public and call the Justice Department out on this whole rotten, stinking scheme.

It’s clear the Obama administration and Eric Holder had their anti-gun agendas and did their best to stomp the whistleblowers and stifle the investigation.

Otherwise thousands of guns would still be going over the border into the Mexican drug cartels and the President and the Attorney General and the Secretary of State would all be running around going, ’90 percent of the guns come from America’ in an attempt to seek political advantage and in an attempt to enact more gun control laws on honest American citizens and use this whole issue politically against the Second Amendment of the United States.

Precisely sir.  One of the major reasons I decided to join the NRA recently.  I am tired of Demorats and Leftists trampling on America’s foundational documents.

Good to know the fuckups of Obama and Holder are still the gifts that keep on giving.  How many people did that rifle take out at over 1,000 yards?
