Bill, your hands are so damned cold.
Direct from the Timing Is Everything Dept:
Bill Clinton is in Las Vegas to “campaign for Hillary” (air quotes) the same time that the nation’s number one porn show, the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, is open.

The American Media Maggots are making Palin’s endorsement of Trump Tuesday’s focus, in an attempt to obfuscate and divert attention from the REAL story.
From Politico.com:
Watchdog: Clinton’s server had classified material beyond ‘top secret’
by Rachael Bade & Josh GersteinIntelligence officials have discovered sensitive national security information on Hillary Clinton’s server that goes beyond the “top secret” level, the intelligence community inspector general told lawmakers in a letter last week.
In a copy of the Jan. 14 correspondence obtained by POLITICO, Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III told both the Senate Intelligence and Senate Foreign Relations committees that intelligence agencies found messages relating to what are known as “special access programs,” or SAP. That’s an even more restricted subcategory of sensitive compartmented information, or SCI, top secret national security information derived from sensitive intelligence sources.
Information like this is mandating a continued clear investigatory path by the 6’8″ James Comey’s FBI — a director who has never shied away from Obama.
The Business Insider writes, in explanation:
Intelligence is allocated to a special-access program when “the vulnerability of, or threat to, specific information is exceptional,” according to Executive Order 13526, which was signed by US President Barack Obama in late 2009 and details how to properly handle and protect classified national-security information.
Clinton signed a nondisclosure contract when she got to the State Department, in which she agreed to “never divulge anything marked SCI [sensitive compartmented information] or that I know to be SCI to anyone who is not authorized to receive it without prior authorization from the US Government department or agency that authorized my access.”
FoxNews.com adds:
Intelligence from a “special access program,” or SAP, is even more sensitive than that designated as “top secret” – as were two emails identified last summer in a random sample pulled from Clinton’s private server she used as secretary of state. Access to a SAP is restricted to those with a “need-to-know” because exposure of the intelligence would likely reveal the source, putting a method of intelligence collection — or a human asset — at risk. Currently, some 1,340 emails designated “classified” have been found on Clinton’s server, though the Democratic presidential candidate insists the information was not classified at the time.
“There is absolutely no way that one could not recognize SAP material,” a former senior law enforcement with decades of experience investigating violations of SAP procedures told Fox News. “It is the most sensitive of the sensitive.”
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT ONE COULD NOT RECOGNIZE SAP MATERIAL.
Now check this:
While the State Department and Clinton campaign have said the emails in questions were “retroactively classified” or “upgraded” – to justify the more than 1,300 classified emails on her server – those terms are meaningless under federal law.
THOSE TERMS ARE MEANINGLESS UNDER FEDERAL LAW.
Hillary Clinton comes ever closer to being criminally indicted, and it couldn’t happen to a more applicable person.
A very important note from Guy Benson:
According to court documents, former CIA Director David Petraeus was prosecuted for sharing intelligence from special access programs with his biographer and mistress Paula Broadwell. At the heart of his prosecution was a non-disclosure agreement where Petraeus agreed to protect these closely held government programs, with the understanding “unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized retention or negligent handling … could cause irreparable injury to the United States or be used to advantage by a foreign nation.” Clinton signed an identical non-disclosure agreement Jan. 22, 2009.
Please closely read these stories from Hot Air, Fox News and Business Insider.
The sagacious Charles Krauthammer weighs in:
Krauthammer’s Take: Hillary E-mail Scandal Now ‘Worse than What Snowden Did’
Petraeus, as was mentioned earlier, he pled guilty because precisely this kind of information he shared. And I don’t see, given the fact that he is the inspector general of the intelligence community who was writing this officially to the intelligence committee heads in Congress that there is any way to contradict this. It is not a news story. This is an investigative story. And now it’s in the hands of the FBI. It’s hard to imagine that the Department of Justice will ignore this or wave it away.”
Finally, as I theorized here, is this the next step?
Will an arrogant, corrupt, law-breaking Clinton finally be indicted?

So there I was, last Monday morning, being wheeled into a surgery theater, face up, wearing a stupid hairnet and dressed in the Mark I Model I Embarrassing Hospital Gown with my ass completely uncovered. Thank God my ass was ass-down on the rolling gurney as it entered the cold room. I ooched from the gurney onto the operating table and was told to scoot down, scoot down. Then, clank-clank, two armrests were dropped down and I was splayed out like the fat BZ turkey I am, an IV already attached. Down came the mask and I was asked to breathe deeply. I seem to recall taking three deep breaths. Nighty-night.
About 75 minutes later, my dream featured someone talking to me from above. “Open your eyes,” my protagonist said. Eventually I did so. “A better life through chemicals,” I thought. I was literally feeling no pain. Then.
My point is, I’m going to be horizontal for the next few weeks as I am supposed to stay off my foot, the subject of some ongoing and worsening problems. The drugs are fairly serious anti-inflammatory and pain meds. Some hours they work well, some hours not so much. I won’t be able to place weight down for about six weeks. Until then I “work” from the lounger in the living room. Work, live and sleep there. The laptop is on an adjacent tray table which I move to my lap until the thighs get too hot. Getting to the bathroom is an ordeal; first with crutches and now with a rented knee scooter. The drugs make me woggy or lucid, just depending. I sleep when I can.
As a consequence, I spend a lot of time on the confuser, texting, reading and watching television. I’ve found programs I didn’t know exist. It’s also given me time to reflect on some political machinations involving the presidential race.
It has been presumed this year and last that Hillary Rodham Clinton is the Demorat candidate for president. Much of this is because it is Clinton’s “turn” and she has “paid her dues.”
Like Tammy Wynette, Hillary stood by her man whilst he swived his way through hordes (Linda Tripp alleges over 1,000) of jaded strumpets. She did it all not because she enjoyed being the butt of fuck, blue dress and fellatio jokes, but because she recognized the inherent power that William Jefferson Clinton 
possessed. She knew that, if played properly, she could ride on Bill’s coat-tails from the periphery of power to real personal political power.
But just when you may have thought it was “her time,” some pesky things have gotten in the way. Like Trey Gowdy, some emails, some security and server concerns, four American deaths at the Benghazi consulate and the Clinton lies that began immediately thereafter. When Hillary provided immediate excuses for the terrorists killing our Americans, she declared a further and more pointed open season on the United States.
On the other hand, there is this:
It’s pretty obvious the DNC has done its level best to bury the Demorat debates on the weekends, but this debate was even more “buried” due to the three-day weekend. Conventional wisdom is that the less Hillary is exposed — because “it’s her turn” — the lesser a chance of her being challenged or damaged. The problem with that, recently revealed, is that she has been losing points in the polls whilst Sanders has been gaining. Uh-oh. Time to push Hillary more towards Front Street. Sort of. But not too much.
It was simply assumed Hillary would win Iowa and perhaps New Hampshire. Now, Sanders is looking strong in New Hampshire. Hillary is being overcome by the self-described Socialist Demorat. And a doddering one at that, with wild hair and a funny accent.
Further, Hillary’s husband is doing her no favors thanks to Trump’s recent focus. It also doesn’t help — though it makes me laugh abundantly — that the top recent Google search question is “will Hillary Clinton get prosecuted?”
So began to think further: what if Hillary loses Iowa and New Hampshire to Sanders? What if he actually gets stronger and not weaker? What if Hillary is actually indicted?
We know that Martin O’Malley isn’t pulling numbers. I would also submit that Sanders is a Nutjob of the First Order whose mind doesn’t operate in reality. The DNC won’t kill SuperPacs just for Bernie nor will they eschew corporate cash.
Who or what is left?
Will the DNC pull a Biden out of its hat? An Al Gore? Maybe even a Jim Webb?
What if Hillary really does go back to her unappealing 2008 days?
Moreover, can the GOP manage to coalesce around one candidate and, further, can that chosen candidate beat a Demorat?

The past Friday this information came out in the news.
From Breitbart.com:
New Email Appears to Show Clinton Ordering Staff to Improperly Handle Sensitive Material
by John Hayward
The latest Hillary Clinton document dump occurred in the wee hours of Friday morning, and contains what appears to be a smoking-gun revelation: Clinton ordering her aides to strip the classification markings from confidential material and retransmit it using unsecure methods.
Let’s pause for a moment in order to examine a very salient portion of the USC or United States Code,
18 USC § 1924:- UNAUTHORIZED REMOVAL AND RETENTION OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS OR MATERIAL
(a) Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.
(b) For purposes of this section, the provision of documents and materials to the Congress shall not constitute an offense under subsection (a)
(c) In this section, the term “classified information of the United States” means information originated, owned, or possessed by the United States Government concerning the national defense or foreign relations of the United States that has been determined pursuant to law or Executive order to require protection against unauthorized disclosure in the interests of national security.
In email, Hillary Clinton tells aide to send talking points “nonsecure”
by Reena Flores
To comply with a court-ordered goal, the State Department made public about 3,000 pages of emails from Hillary Clinton’s private server early Friday morning, including 66 messages that were later marked “classified” on some level.
On the campaign trail, the presidential candidate has insisted that no classified information was sent or received through her private email server.
But in one email exchange between Clinton and staffer Jake Sullivan from June 17, 2011, the then-secretary advised her aide on sending a set of talking points by email when he had trouble sending them through secure means.
Part of the exchange is redacted, so the context of the emails is unknown, but at one point, Sullivan tells Clinton that aides “say they’ve had issues sending secure fax. They’re working on it.”
THE CLINCHER:
Clinton responds, “If they can’t, turn into nonpaper w no identifying heading and send nonsecure.”
To tell the staffer to send the document(s) purposely minus the header portrays to me a clear consciousness of guilt and an attempt to evade.
In my opinion, this is a violation of the above statute. Further, you could easily add the word CONSPIRACY to the charges, as that is two or persons conspiring to commit a crime concomitant with an overt act.
Let’s see. Did Hillary Clinton tell her staffer, not ask, but tell her staffer to send a document minus its official header?
Breitbart.com finally observes:
Fox News notes that the latest document dump includes 65 more messages classified as “confidential,” plus one classified as “secret,” bringing the total number of classified emails discovered on Clinton’s mail server to 1,340. Needless to say, this is considerably higher than the “zero” she claimed.
What of this consideration? What about the word “precedent”?
And what about, regarding classified information, the “Hillary Clinton Defense”?
