Hillary Milhouse Nixon: Strip Away The Scandals And Systemic Corruption And There’s Nothing Left

Apparently, the leading cause of hard drive failures is subpoenas.

Cunning Linguist Meets With Attorney General For One Of Two Reasons

KNXV ABC15 PHOENIX—On Monday evening serial rapist Billy Jeff Clinton was scheduled to depart from a stop in the Phoenix area when he was informed Attorney General Loretta Lynch was en route to the airport.  The cunning linguist decided to wait for her arrival and the two met privately for approximately 30 minutes on board her aircraft.

Lynch was asked about the meeting during a press conference and she confirmed the meeting did take place.  Lynch was in Phoenix as part of her national tour to promote community policing.  At the news conference held at the Phoenix Police Department, she was asked about the meeting.

She did not deny the meeting took place saying, “I did see President Clinton at the Phoenix airport as he was leaving and spoke to myself and my husband on the plane.  Our conversation was a great deal about grandchildren, it was primarily social about our travels and he mentioned golf he played in Phoenix.”

"There was no discussion on any matter pending before the Department or any matter pending with any other body, there was no discussion of Benghazi, no discussion of State Department emails, by way of example I would say it was current news of the day, the Brexit decision and what it would mean," she said.

I am joining the chorus of voices calling for her to recuse herself from the FBI investigation into the email scandal dumpster fire that continues to swirl around The Sack Of Russet Potatoes With Earrings. 

Of course Lynch would deny having discussed the probe with Billy Jeff.  There was a wink and a nod exchanged between the two. After all, Hillary has managed to avoid like the plague being questioned by FBI agents conducting the investigation.

Oh yes, the fix is in.

Maybe Bill Clinton just mistook Loretta Lynch’s plane for Jeffrey Epstein’s.

I'm A Pathological Liar

BREAKING: State Department Audit Faults Clinton In Emails

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A State Department audit has faulted Hillary Clinton and previous secretaries of state for poorly managing email and other computer information and slowly responding to new cybersecurity risks.

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the report by the agency's inspector general Wednesday.

It cites "longstanding, systemic weaknesses" related to communications. These started before Clinton's appointment as secretary of state, but her failures were singled out as more serious.

The review came after revelations Clinton exclusively used a private email account and server while in office. Clinton is now the likely Democratic presidential nominee.

The 78-page report says the department and its secretaries were "slow to recognize and to manage effectively the legal requirements and cybersecurity risks associated with electronic data communications, particularly as those risks pertain to its most senior leadership."

Did Someone Call For A Hero?

Twelve days from today CNN, the Nevada Democratic Party and the Wynn Resort Las Vegas will host the first Democratic Presidential Debate.

The Democrats have always pinned their hopes on The Ice Cube In Heels except maybe that one time when The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer said in a debate that Hillary was “likeable enough” and went on to demolish her run for president waaaaay back in 2008.

Right now the Democratic Party is arguably in disarray with a socialist who is pulling the party further left and milquetoasts with zero chance of getting the party’s nomination like O’Malley and Chaffee.  The Dems need a hero and Clinton ain’t it.  Unable to convince the electorate (and the pundits for that matter) that she is warm and genuine and honest, she is mired in frantic talks with armies of attorneys about her emails.  She looks, well, she looks wobbly.  People are beginning to get that she’s been playing them for fools.

CNN recently announced that they’re going to keep a podium warm for Uncle Joe Biden allowing him to participate in the debate if he announces his candidacy as late as the day of the event.

The Democrats need Biden to pull them back from the edge of the abyss and give Granny Hillary a vigorous shove into retirement with three hots and a cot under the watchful eye of officers at a federal penitentiary. 

UPDATE:  CNN reported earlier today that Biden is not preparing for the first Democratic debate and is not expected to participate.   He and his team “have been inundated by mounds of research and battle plans” but “feels no pressure” to reach a decision prior to the second half of October.

The Ice Cube In Heels Got Hot Under The Collar

The Ice Cube In Heels and The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer loathe each other.  Some examples of their abhorrence for each other are cited in former senior advisor David Axelrod’s book "Believer: My Forty Years in Politics," 

In a new tell-all book, “Unlikeable: The Problem with Hillary”, one passage tells of ol’ Granny’s outrage over damaging leaks by Obama aides that led to investigations of her use of a private email server as secretary of state. So she went right to the top to settle the matter.

Clinton requested a meeting with the president, against the advice of hubby Billy Jeff, believing “she was being persecuted for minor, meaningless violations,” Klein writes.

Clinton initially took a friendly approach during the meeting and Obama reacted as if he didn’t know what she was talking about.  “He was almost being deliberately dense,” a Clinton source said. “It really angered her.”

“What I want for you to do is call off your fucking dogs, Barack!” Clinton allegedly said.

The president was so stunned by Clinton’s disrespectful demands; he needed a moment to compose himself.  “There is nothing I can do for you one way or another. Things have been set in motion, and I can’t and won’t interfere. Your problems are, frankly, of your own making. If you had been honest…”

While the Clinton camp is dismissing Klein’s book as “bullshit”, the exposé he submits sounds totes legit.

Hey Democrats, Your Party Is Ready To Cut Up Your Hot Dogs For You

The editorial page of the venerated New Hampshire Union Leader proclaimed it’s all over but the shouting.

Noting that Democratic voters should feel used, the editorialist explained that the DNC has strictly limited the number of officially sanctioned primary debates to six and written the participation rules so tightly as to all but guarantee there will be no alternatives such as the Leader’s Voters First Forum for GOP presidential candidates this past summer.

When DNC Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz spoke at the state Democratic Convention in Manchester on Saturday, she was heckled so loudly her speech was drowned out. The hecklers shouted her down with demands of more debates. Their anger and frustration are understandable.

The Democratic primary voters are being muffled—on purpose—by a party elite that is hell-bent on ensuring there is no disruption to Hillary Clinton’s path to the nomination.

From the debate schedule to the early endorsements from figures such as US Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Gov. Maggie Hassan, the fix is in for Clinton.  [Emphasis mine]  Democratic voters might ask themselves why the establishment feels the need to go to such lengths to protect its candidate from the voters’ judgment.

Even the hacks on MSNBC’s Morning Joe noticed Face the Nation anchor John Dickerson’s interview with The Ice Cube In Heels was scripted and controlled by her campaign claiming Dickerson was not allowed to ask follow-up questions about her burgeoning email scandal.

Joe Scarborough said, “…if there were no preconditions to the Clinton interview, the question then becomes how he could have failed to ask so many obvious follow-up questions. It's not clear which reality is more damning.' 

Klintonerdämmerung: A Kick-Ass Parody

Video Hat Tip:  The Feral Irishman

Top Secret Cow

Revelations that dozens of Clinton’s emails now include classified information has prompted an FBI inquiry into whether classified information was improperly stored on her private server and a thumb drive held by her attorney. The news has sparked fear among national security experts that the federal government’s secrets may have been exposed or even hacked. However, the two inspectors general said the material in Clinton’s email was not marked as classified at the time. The FBI declined to comment.

Clinton, who has repeatedly denied she ever sent or received classified information, has attempted to downplay the scrutiny as mere partisan attacks, but questions about her judgment and motive for setting up a private server in her Chappaqua house in 2009 continue to dog her. Her campaign declined to comment.

Quoting Allahpundit:  “Hillary’s perp walk will be the greatest moment of live TV since the moon landing. “

Fax Me A Beer

The minions can photocopy their ass, but this ass can't work a fax machine.  Meh.

A batch of 3,000 of Cankles’ private emails have just been released and it seems she had an excruciating case of bewilderment regarding how to use her fax machine.  In one noteworthy chain of emails there was a “tense email standoff” with her aide Huma Abedin that is sublimely dim-witted:

“Can you hang up the fax line,” Abedin asked Clinton.

“I thought it was supposed to be off the hook to work?” Clinton replied.

“Yes, but hang up one more time,” Abedin shot back.

“I did,” Clinton replied.

Others in the batch reveal more entanglements to Sid Blumenthal, her musings about her relationship with The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer, her concern over unauthorized photographs taken with a camera with a “long lens from afar” and her apparent helplessness in fetching herself a cold drink:  (30 September 2009—Pls call Sarah and ask her if she can make me some iced tea.)  Damn, bitch, that’s what I call lazy.

Curmudgeonly Cartoon: Meanwhile, Back At Chappaqua

Throne-sniffer Maureen Dowd, surprised me yesterday with her “Open Letter To hdr22@clintonemail” in which she snarled, “…you knew you could count on the complicity of feminists and Democratic women in Congress” as she recounted the pathologically unpresidential behavior of her husband’s cigar fetish in the Oval Office.

Dowd goes on to say, “You seem like an annoyed queen, radiating irritation at anyone who tries to hold you accountable.”  She goes a step further giving her take on “Clinton Fatigue”, perhaps because she remains enamored with The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer saying, “You’re still idling on the runway, but we’re already jet-lagged. It’s all so drearily familiar that I know we’re only moments away from James Carville writing a column in David Brock’s Media Matters, headlined, ‘In Private, Hillary’s Really a Hoot.’”

On Saturday, March 14, 2014 Ed Klein, who broke the story about Mrs. Clinton’s email scandal, told Larry Kudlow on his WABC radio show that this Administration “is up to its eyebrows in efforts to stop” her and Valerie Jarrett has launched six investigations into her years as Secretary of State.

This movie is rated 5 out of 5 stars; so pull up your recliner, grab your popcorn and enjoy the show folks.

Bumper Sticker Of The Day: DELETE Hillary Clinton

Relax, America! Those Highly Classified Documents are in Good Hands!

Curmudgeonly Cartoon: Foggy Bottom’s “Emailghazi”

Liar, liar pantsuit on fire.

The highly unusual practice of a Cabinet-level official physically running her own email would have given Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, impressive control over limiting access to her message archives. It also would distinguish Clinton's secretive email practices as far more sophisticated than some politicians, including Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin, who were caught conducting official business using free email services operated by Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc.

“it was a planned maneuver to give the Clintons more control over their electronic correspondence.”
