The executive director of the National
Association of Police Organizations:
“Obama caused a 'war on cops'”
Hillary Clinton has crafted her response to the slaughter of
Dallas policemen to exploit racial resentment and shore up her support among
African Americans. She needs Obama-levels of turnout and grab about 92% of the
votes in order to win.
The
Falcon Heights, Minnesota police shooting of Philando Castile is based around
an entirely false narrative. Castile was pulled over by police because Castile
matched a “be on the lookout” alert for an armed robbery suspect.
Castile was a gang member (crips), who
frequently pictured himself on social media with firearms, cash, drugs and gang
signs.

Rudy Giuliani Says Comey Made ´Special Exception for the
Clintons´
By contrast, in 2003, Comey indicted a man over a single 21
word email.
Key assertions by Hillary Clinton in defense of her email
practices have collapsed under FBI scrutiny. The agency´s yearlong
investigation found that she did not, as she claimed, turn over all her
work-related messages for release. It found that her private email server did
carry classified emails, also contrary to her past statements. And it made
clear that Clinton used many devices to send and receive email despite her
statements that she set up her email system so that she only needed to carry
one.
During FBI Director Comey’s testimony before Congress, he
stunningly revealed the July 3rd, 2016 interview with Hillary Clinton was not
conducted under oath, was not recorded, there is no transcript of her question
and answer session, he was not present, and he did not talk to all of the
questioning agents.
It’s already being called “the Hillary Defense.” The FBI
recommendation not to prosecute Hillary Clinton and her staff on charges of
mishandling classified information will give those accused of flouting national
security rules a new line of defense even as it highlights a dual standard in
how senior government officials are treated, several experts said Wednesday.
A high-powered group of senators officially petitioned the
State Department Thursday to suspend the security clearances of former
Secretary Hillary Clinton and her top aides — a move that could effectively
kneecap her preparations for the White House.
Final primary analysis:
Republican turnout up 62%, Democratic turnout down 21%

COLUMN OF THE WEEK
It's now
evident that the FBI fumbled its investigation into Hillary's Clinton's misuse
of a private email server while serving as secretary of state. It found
evidence of crimes but refused to prosecute. Whether it was dereliction,
incompetence or something far more sinister are the only real questions that
remain to be answered.
Comments by FBI
Director James Comey to Congress Thursday underscore just how badly our justice
system performed in the Clinton investigation. Not only did the FBI fail to put
Clinton under oath during her 3-1/2 hours of questioning last week, he said, but the FBI has no recording
or transcript of it.
Apparently,
apart from personal recollections of those who questioned her, there is no
record of what she said -- or whether, in the end, it was truthful. This
extraordinary bungling by the Justice Department and FBI can be no accident.
It's now clear
the meeting between President Bill Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch
last week was a premeditated attempt at cooking justice -- making sure that
neither the Justice Department nor the FBI, which is part of the Justice
Department, would recommend charges against what were plainly illegal acts by
Hillary Clinton.
After that
meeting, it was no mere coincidence that Comey on Tuesday in a hastily called
press conference announced that, despite ample evidence that Hillary lied
repeatedly about her email server and was negligent in leaving it open to our
nation's enemies, he would not recommend that she be charged. Not long after,
Lynch confirmed no charges would be brought. Since then, Hillary Clinton has
appeared with President Obama on a dais with the presidential seal in sight --
a subliminal suggestion that not only has Clinton been cleared, but she carries
the imprimatur of a sitting president.
We're left to
wonder: Did Obama, who hopes Hillary will cement his legacy, use Bill Clinton
as a high-level courier to tell Lynch to stop her investigation? Was Comey so
intimidated that he just called off the dogs, or did someone order him to? Either
way, Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., called the FBI's
decision not to bring charges against Hillary Clinton "uniquely troubling
in light of Attorney General Lynch's secret meeting with former President Bill
Clinton."
As we noted
earlier, even Comey, in his press conference Tuesday, hinted that while this
was criminal behavior that ordinarily might result in charges, because of
Hillary's political position -- what Comey called the "context" of
her actions -- she would escape prosecution. Said Comey,"there is evidence
that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly
classified information." Sorry, but that is, prima facie, evidence of a
crime.
On Thursday,
questioned by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., Comey admitted that Hillary lied
repeatedly about her email server, about the classified documents that she had
on it, about the number of personal files deleted, and even about the number of
devices she had used. Virtually everything she said about her illegal use of
the home-brew email server was a lie -- making her liable for prosecution.
This not only
undermines Americans' faith in the rule of law, but undermines the very
foundation of the law in a constitutional republic such as ours -- that is, the
idea that the law applies to everyone, regardless of social or economic status.
That's why, given the failure of our justice system, it's proper that House Speaker Paul Ryan should now
seek to bar Hillary Clinton from any more intelligence briefings. In a letter
to National Intelligence Director James Clapper, Ryan suggested: "This is
necessary to reassure the public that our nation's secrets are secure,"
Ryan wrote.
We agree. Given
the contempt she has shown for the nation's secrets by exposing them to our
enemies and then lying about it, this is the least that should be done.
“Secrecy is a virtual religion in Washington. Those who
violate its dogma have been punished in the harshest and most excessive manner
– at least when they possess little political power or influence. As has been
widely noted, the Obama administration has prosecuted more leakers under the
1917 Espionage Act than all prior administrations combined. …... For
low-level, powerless Nobodies-in-DC, even the mere mishandling of classified
information – without any
intent to leak but merely to, say, work from home – has resulted in
criminal prosecution, career destruction and the permanent loss of
security clearance. This extreme, unforgiving, unreasonable, excessive posture
toward classified information came to an instant halt in Washington today –
just in time to save Hillary Clinton’s presidential aspirations……”
The fix was in. Tuesday, FBI Director James Comey painted a
devastating picture of Hillary Clinton’s reckless lawbreaking with her emails
and the damage it likely caused — but then recommended no charges against her. When
it comes to the Clintons, say goodbye to the rule of law….Comey just dealt a
powerful blow to the public’s faith in the concept of equal justice. Hillary
will now claim falsely she’s been exonerated — even though the FBI found her in
violation of the law. Is there any wonder so many voters this year are outraged
by the “rigged” system?

FROM OTHER COLUMNS
“We're sure police would welcome his support if it was
authentic. But Obama, Hillary Clinton and their fellow NeoComs perpetuate the urban poverty plantations
where 95% of our nation's violence occurs, then paint all cops as
"racist" after there are deadly confrontations with the Demos'
gang-banger constituency. In turn, that results in the murder of law
enforcement officers. And by the way, we're waiting on Obama's order to lower
flags to half-mast.”
“Comey may think he’s successfully threaded
the political needle – highlighting Clinton’s malfeasance while giving her a
get-out-of-jail-free card. But all he’s done is further lowered the reputation
of the FBI in the eyes of the American people.

ARTICLES
We
surrender. Hillary Clinton is innocent. For this to work, though, we now have
to accept that the woman Barack Obama christened the most qualified
presidential nominee in history can’t understand the most basic workings of an
email account. Although she served as both a U.S. senator and as secretary of
State of the most powerful nation ever, she’s incapable of following basic
directions. And, despite extensive training in the proper handling of
classified information, she probably couldn’t get clearance as a White House
intern.
We’ve reached a point in western civilization where it is
more offensive to expose Islamic terrorists than engage in Islamic terrorism
itself. Our enemies understand this phenomenon, which is why they have so
successfully exploited “liberal” western values against America and Europe. In
the words of the Muslim Brotherhood’s explanatory memorandum, “destroying the
Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their
hands.” The latest example of the West’s instant capitulation and adherence to
Sharia is YouTube’s decision to ban a video produced by Counter Jihad, which
exposes the stealth jihad of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America.
