Supreme Court Rejects Efforts to Depose Hillary Clinton over Email Server

Katherine Rodriguez 29 Mar 2021

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday denied efforts to require former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to face a deposition over her unsecured email setup while she served in the Obama administration.  In an unsigned order issued with no comment, the justices denied an appeal from the conservative legal group Judicial Watch, mainly keeping in place a federal appeals court ruling from last August which stated that Clinton could not be forced to sit for a deposition.  Judicial Watch had wanted to depose Clinton, her aide Cheryl Mills, and other State Department employees over Clinton’s use of an unsecured personal email server — even for classified information — in a case seeking public access to State Department emails..........To Read More...

Trouble for Joe? Hillary's Emails Are Resurfacing.

Beth Baumann  Oct 10, 2020

\Every election cycle there's some sort of "October surprise." It's when campaigns release the dirt they have on their opponent, in hopes of flipping some voters. But not every election surprise has to come from a campaign.

In fact, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday said the State Department is getting closer to releasing emails from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server. You know, the ones that contained classified information that should have been safeguarded? 

“We’ve got the emails, we’re getting them out. We’ll get all of this information out so the American people can see it,” Pompeo told Fox News' Dana Perino. "We're going to get all this information out so the American people can see it. You'll remember there was classified information on a private server, should have never been there, Hillary Clinton should never have done that, that was unacceptable behavior."..........To Read More.....

Judicial Watch uncovers emails showing Ben Rhodes and aides joking about Benghazi lies

June 28, 2020 By Thomas Lifson

Judicial Watch once again has proven to be invaluable (donate here) in uncovering official perfidy. This time, its Freedom of Information Act lawsuit has uncovered utterly appalling levity among top Obama foreign policy aides over their lies to the public about the September 11, 2012 attack on the Benghazi Consular Annex that took the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Information Officer Sean Smith, and two CIA operatives, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, both former Navy SEALs. Readers will recall that UN Ambassador Susan Rice, now touted as a vice presidential nominee for front man Joe Biden, went on five Sunday morning talk shows to lie about the attack and blame it on a YouTube video seen by a handful of people. Nine days later, the-Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes yucked it up with his crew.

Here is what Judicial Watch discloses about the emails (read them here) it brought to light:

It’s hard to keep your story straight if you’re making it up as you go along, which was the modus operandi of Obama fabricator Ben Rhodes.

The Justice Department released 80 pages of records showing top Obama White House officials scrambling to “evolve” its false claims that the September 11, 2012, terrorist attacks on U.S. Government facilities in Benghazi, Libya, began “spontaneously” in response to an anti-Muslim video on the Internet.

 The emails reveal top Obama White House official Ben Rhodes and Clinton State Department Deputy Chief of Staff Jake Sullivan joking about being called “liars” and “leakers.”...........To Read More

Hillary's email scandal catches 38 in State Department

May face disciplinary action for using unsecured Clinton system for national secrets

By WND Staff October 18, 2019

A letter dispatched to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, reveals a federal investigation found 38 current and former State Department officials violated government email regulations by using former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's unsecure, private system.  The Associated Press reported some of the individuals may face disciplinary action for 91 times instances in which classified information ended up in Clinton's personal email system.

An investigation found the system likely was hacked by foreign enemies of the U.S.

Of the 33,000 emails Clinton turned over for review, the State Department found 588 instances in which classified information was transferred.

Washington watchdog Judicial Watch continues to investigate the Clinton email scandal through Freedom of Information Act requests and lawsuits.

The judge in a Judicial Watch case has expressed concern over Clinton's actions, encouraging Judicial Watch to "shake this tree" and see what it can discover..........To Read More...

Hillary's server no security threat, but Russians are altering emails?

Try to wrap your brain around this latest bit of liberal lying

By Russ Vaughn

Let's see if this old seasoned citizen can get his brain wrapped around this latest bit of liberal lying. Earlier this year, the Clinton campaign leaders were on every available news forum in the country assuring us that even if Hillary had used her Chappaqua bathroom server to conduct the business of the nation, there was no harm because there was no evidence that anyone had hacked that totally vulnerable repository of state secrets.

 All the way back to the Whitewater scandal, we have been hearing that first line of defense from the Clinton's: "There is no evidence." That has sometimes proved true, because the Clintons long ago surrounded themselves with a picket of legal gunsels who have proved quite adept at burying incriminating documentation and, some would even say, witnesses.........But now.....we are being told by all those same Democrat sock puppets who denied so vehemently that the Russians could conceivably be in possession of Hillary's emails........have altered their contents to reflect badly on Clinton because Vladimir Putin is Donald Trump's BFF and is interfering in the American election process on his behalf.

And some of you want to put these disgustingly inconsistent, incompetent, and insidious political thugs in charge of our country? ........More

Hillary’s Final Days

She can run but she can no longer hide

R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.

Washington Is it just me, or are there others out there in my audience who find it odd that Hillary Rodham Clinton, the inevitable presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, would continue to have at the highest level of her staff a woman married to a man who has repeatedly embarrassed himself, his wife, and the Democratic Party? Anthony Weiner is a pervert. As to how perverted he might be, we can only speculate, but we did see the picture of him sexually aroused in his underpants with his infant son lying next to him. Presumably Weiner was sending that picture to one of his digital sweethearts.......I have been saying in this column for months that the FBI’s investigation of Hillary’s server would be a turning point in the Clintons’ 35-year career of skirting the law. Now that is becoming obvious even to the blasé members of official Washington.......To Read More....

New Evidence Unveils Disturbing Facts About Hillary's Email Scandal

FBI is implicated in destroying evidence to benefit Clinton.

August 2, 2019 Deborah Weiss 108 

In breaking news, the American Center for Law and Justice or ACLJ (Jay Sekulow's organization, not related to his role as the President's attorney), has obtained actual copies of the immunity agreements pertaining to Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson in the Hillary email scandal. This was a stunning litigation win, hard-fought after years of litigation by the ACLJ attorneys, who were unable to extract the documents through the normal FOIA processes, due to a lack of cooperation by the government.

In reviewing what the agreements uncovered, keep in mind that Cheryl Mills was Secretary Clinton's Chief of Staff at the State Department and then bizarrely, she subsequently served as Clinton’s attorney, representing her in the email scandal.  Heather Samuelson worked on Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign, and then became a Senior Advisor to her at the State Department, as well as the White House liaison. Somehow, she also became one of Clinton's personal attorneys during the email scandal.............To Read More......

Lawsuit filed after feds refuse to do routine evaluation of harm from 'extremely careless' handling

Alicia Powe About | Email | Archive

Donald Trump joked during the presidential campaign that the Russians should try to find the missing emails of Democrat Hillary Clinton, who used an unsecured server while she was secretary of state, and that perhaps he would authorize an investigation that might put her in jail if he became president.  But since Trump’s huge victory over Clinton in the 2016 presidential race, he’s largely been quiet about any misdeeds she committed in violation of the trust Americans gave her when she was appointed by Barack Obama.  Others, however, have not.............Read more

The Mike Pence E-mail ‘Scandal’ Exposes Only Democrats’ Amnesia about Hillary

Pence’s e-mail practices were not illegal and he didn’t lie about them. The same cannot be said for Clinton. 
            

By David French — March 3, 2017

 

It's clear that many Democrats still haven’t grasped what they did when they nominated Hillary Clinton for president. They’re still trying to tell us that it was no big deal that she set up her own homebrew e-mail server and used it to conduct official business. They’re still trying to tell us that her corruption was negligible compared with Donald Trump’s and that America made a terrible, dreadful mistake when it elected him instead of her.

 

The latest evidence? The willfully misleading comparison of Mike Pence’s legal use of a private e-mail account to conduct state business in Indiana with Hillary’s mishandling of highly classified information (not to mention months of lies, evasions, and deceptions).

Here’s the Pence story in a nutshell — while governor of Indiana, he used his AOL account to conduct some state business, and that account was subject to a “broad” (not targeted) hack. His use of private e-mail was permitted by state law, he did not lie about it, and he did not handle any classified information on an unclassified system.

The New York Times said Pence’s e-mail practices “echoed Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server.” Vox’s Matthew Yglesias said, “It was everything Clinton’s critics alleged.” CNN’s Bakari Sellers found it “hypocritical” that Pence favored a rigorous FBI investigation into Clinton’s e-mail practices:...........To Read More.....

The Emails Putin Really Hacked

Charles R. Smith, CEO Founder of Softwar Inc.

The real email scandal lies neither within the Democrat party nor in the careless confines of John Podesta's G-mail account. The real scandal is buried inside the emails sent by Hillary Clinton over her home-brew server. The FBI quietly released a number of documents detailing their investigation into Hillary's emails and it reveals what Vladimir Putin must already know, that the Secretary of State provided Moscow with a plethora of fine intelligence information.

The FBI report noted that the kind of classified information Russia certainly obtained involved SECRET details from the CIA, NSA, Dept. of Defense, FBI, and the "National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency". This last little known agency provides photos and intercepts of foreign communications obtained by the trillion dollar network of US satellites.

Thus, Hillary's emails gave the Kremlin crucial details to foil our satellites, blinding them from imagery and making the deaf to high-level communications intercepts. ..............

So how was Moscow made aware of Hillary's email account? The answer to this question is easy: by her own hand..............Now the carelessness does not stop there............. Now let's make your eyes really water. Clinton did not know her login and password to get into her email account so she relied on her staff to enter the data onto her Blackberry. Not only did the 13 missing devices have her login information but so did most of her staff. She also shared her login and password with her staff to print emails that she requested. So Hillary's email account was logged into from various locations by various people at various times, further compounding an already ridiculous security nightmare. .......To Read More.....

My Take - And the woman who was touted as "the smartest woman in the world",  who couldn't remember her login codes, was a step away from being giving the nuclear football.  The only more frightening outcome could only be if Bernie was elected President of the United States.   He might have turned the nuclear football over to Russia or China.   We would really "Feel the Bern" then. 

So what do the media and the left focus on?  Everyone in the Trump administration talked to someone in Russia and didn't tell them.  Okay, maybe they did, but I've yet to see any evidence that a crime was committed.  We know Hillary committed crimes - galore - but no one seems to be demanding she pay any penalty for those crimes.  On either side of the aisle!  Why? 

Justice Department watchdog to probe FBI's Clinton email investigation

Watchdogs for the Department of Justice will look into whether "improper considerations" affected the FBI's investigation of Hillary Clinton emails, including whether ties between department officials and Clinton's camp precluded an objective assessment of her use of a private email system. 

Specifically, the Inspector general will look at whether FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe should have recused himself from Clinton-related matters given that his wife, Jill McCabe, received significant campaign contributions from Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Clinton ally, during her unsuccessful bid for state senate....... Read More..

Was Hillary’s Secret Plan to Attack Climate Skeptics Exposed by Wikileaks?

By Ron Arnold @ Left Exposed

On Tuesday, October 25, 2016, Wikileaks released a series of emails sent between Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta, and the infamous “social change” media activist, David Fenton. The emails revealed a $3 million plan to attack the Wall Street Journal and Fox News Channel to put them ‘on the defensive’ about their realistic climate stand. The goal was to scare conservative politicians into supporting new government global warming rules and bans.

The series of emails WikiLeaks hacked from Podesta’s account shows that David Fenton thanked Podesta for a meeting on February 19, 2015. Fenton and sent him two emails documenting their conversation.

The first email said: “Here is the [Fenton Communications] plan to go after [the Wall Street Journal] and Fox [News Channel] on climate. I have 500,000 [dollars] of this pledged if I can raise another million.”

The plan, attached to the email, used “guerilla tactics,” budgeting $350,000 for groups including Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace for civil disobedience and social media campaigns, and $600,000 for advertisements in the Wall Street Journal and on the Fox News Channel. It would involve the creation of websites that disseminated true-believer views about climate change, and directly challenged the reporting in Rupert Murdoch’s Fox media.
Fenton’s email said:

“Fox News is the biggest single factor keeping almost 40% of Americans from believing humans are changing the climate, while only 10% know that 97% of climate scientists agree we are warming the earth at our peril. In some ways, the effect of the Wall Street Journal is even worse, as it sows regular confusion among its 3 million daily subscribers – business leaders and investors among the most influential people in the country.” [Murdoch’s companies also own the Wall Street Journal and he heads 21st Century Fox.]

Fenton continued his increasingly desperate email plea: “Unless and until the Journal and Murdoch are put on the defensive on climate change, opening political space for conservatives to come forward, it is unlikely that bipartisan efforts on climate change will be achieved in time.”
Part of Fenton’s plan involved “public shaming” of Murdoch so that his six children, who have more fanatic views on climate change, would have “leverage with their father”.

Clinton’s campaign has neither confirmed nor denied the authenticity of the Wikileaks emails, but has attacked what it said were Russian state actors involved in obtaining them. A Clinton campaign source dubbed the Wikileaks website a “propaganda arm of the Russian government” seeking to help elect the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, a conspiracy theory that serves as its own public shaming.

Fenton’s proposal to Podesta and its prime goal to “make Murdoch’s climate denial a major issue,” and “bring the scientific facts on climate change to his audiences,” was ironically released a day after an unwelcome story ran in London’s Daily Mail with the headline “Exposed: How top university helped secure £9million of YOUR money by passing off rivals’ research as its own… to bankroll climate change agenda.” So much for the integrity of “scientific facts on climate change.”
The Daily Caller covered the story for Americans:

“The UK government gave $11 million dollars to the Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy (CCCEP) in exchange for research that the organization reportedly never actually did. Many papers CCCEP claimed to have published to get government money weren’t about global warming, were written before the organization was even founded, or were written by researchers unaffiliated with CCCEP. The government never checked CCCEP’s supposed publication lists, saying they were “taken on trust.”

According to The Daily Mail, “Academics whose work was misrepresented reacted with fury. Professor Richard Tol, a climate change economics expert from Sussex University, said: ‘It is serious misconduct to claim credit for a paper you haven’t supported, and it’s fraud to use that in a bid to renew a grant. I’ve never come across anything like it before. It stinks.’ ”

How could such a scandal begin? The chairman of the CCCEP since 2008 has been Lord Nicholas Stern, a militant global advocate for drastic action to combat climate change. He is also the president of the British Academy, an invitation-only society reserved for the academic elite. It disburses grants worth millions to researchers – and to Lord Stern’s own organization. Do we see the seeds of corrupt power here? Is this the beginning of another ClimateGate for the U.K.?

Meanwhile, the WikiLeaks emails between David Fenton and John Podesta show us only a proposal for a multi-million dollar attack against people with opposing but honestly held opinions, who are not given the right to those opinions – a signature mindset increasingly visible among intolerant progressives.

Fenton concluded his WikiLeaks email:

“We have let Rupert Murdoch get away with this atrocious behavior for too long. It’s time to make his endangerment of national and economic security a prominent, inescapable issue.”

Fenton is no scientist. His climate opinions are second hand, “taken on trust” from government science. Government science has been seen as the same type of oxymoron as military intelligence.

Evidently, Podesta did not take Fenton’s razzle-dazzle on trust. There is no evidence that Fenton’s $3 million campaign ever went ahead. To the contrary, climate change seems to be the poor stepchild of the 2016 election’s leading issue awards. If, somehow, the Fenton fantasy was actually put into action, it left the Wall Street Journal and Fox unscathed in their climate realism. Certainly, Rupert Murdoch doesn’t seem to be taking climate policy advice from his six offspring. So, perhaps David Fenton’s Wikileaks email plans are what the Roman Empire once referred to as brutum fulmen – harmless thunderbolt.

But do not underestimate the man. Fenton is remembered as the one who engineered the phony 1989 Alar “poison apples” scam with the Natural Resources Defense Council to wrongfully disparage hundreds of blameless orchardists into bankruptcy.

He gloated about it.

Breaking! FBI Reopening Clinton Email Case!

By Onan Coca October 28, 2016

UPDATE: Several media outlets are now reporting that the FBI was led to the discovery of the new Clinton Email scandal evidence through the investigation into disgraced New York politician Anthony Weiner!

The FBI has reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server while secretary of state after discovering new emails – apparently during the probe of former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s sexting – in a stunning turn of events just days before the presidential election…

An FBI source, though, confirmed to Fox News that the new emails were discovered after the bureau seized devices belonging to disgraced Rep. Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin, a top Clinton aide who recently announced she was separating from the former congressman. The New York Times first reported on the Weiner investigation connection, noting the FBI had been probing texts Weiner sent to a 15-year-old girl.......To Read More.....

The younger readers may not remember Monica and the blue dress that she saved in the closet. God only knows what Monica was thinking but it did prove that then President Clinton was lying through his teeth about their "encounter" in the Oval Office. Then President Clinton survived conviction in the U.S. Senate, in large part because unemployment was low and everyone was enjoying the returns on their mutual funds.  Frankly, the Clinton team thought that they get away with it until the blue dress returned to the story.  Well, something similar has happened to the Clintons in 2016. They tried to get away with it, but this time a "leak" showed them up to be a couple of serial liars.........More

No, Hillary, 17 U.S. Intelligence Agencies Did Not Say Russia Hacked Dem E-mails

by Fred Fleitz 

 

Hillary Clinton in last night’s presidential debate tried to avoid talking about the substance of the damaging WikiLeaks disclosures of DNC and Clinton campaign officials by claiming 17 U.S. intelligence agencies determined that Russia was responsible for this. After Clinton made this claim, she scolded Trump for challenging U.S. intelligence professionals who have taken an oath to help defend this country. What Clinton said was false and misleading. First of all, only two intelligence entities – the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) – have weighed in on this issue, not 17 intelligence agencies. And what they said was ambiguous about Russian involvement. An unclassified October 7, 2016 joint DNI-DHS statement on this issue said the hack........Read more

Podesta Emails Reveal He's A Home For The Anti-Vaccination Movement

By Hank Campbell — October 14, 2016

It's long been known in the United States that anti-vaccine sentiment comes down along political lines the same way climate change does. Anti-vaccine sentiment also correlates strongly with anti-agriculture and anti-energy beliefs. But the rationalization among most journalists who didn't want to recognize such uncomfortable truths was that as long as their political elites were not saying it, it didn't count.(1)

Thus, when Mr. Trump made the maddening claim that vaccines cause autism, the issue became suddenly framed as not even bipartisan, but solely a right-wing position. Yes, President Obama had said the same thing in 2008 but Democratic contender Secretary Clinton was not saying it in 2016......To Read More....
