    Hillary Clinton, you know, she did, for example,

    a massive corporate shakedown tour after leaving the State Department and before formally announcing for president in 2015, where she did 90 talks, largely to corporations, for at least $100,000 a pop, that all went into her private bank account.

    She made $21 million in personal profit while she's planning her run for president unofficially.

    And no one else has ever done this before. It's extraordinary.

    It's not just three Goldman Sachs talks. It's 90 talks to the largest corporations in the country, and it's many in Canada. And this is totally uninvestigated. This is known fact. This has been reported once or twice, it'll show up periodically, but then it drops to the bottom of the ocean.

    And good journalists shouldn't let it drop to the bottom of the ocean. So I think there's legitimate concerns that they've not really pursued the issues they could have, and I think he's right to make that point.

    And this also touches on another issue.

    You know, the Hillary campaign has -- and the corporate media -- belabored the point that Bernie's been so hard on Hillary.

    Oh, he's just so mean to her. He's being unfair to her, and he's weakening her for Donald Trump in the fall. In fact, he hasn't even touched any of these issues to speak of. He only mentions her briefly in his speeches, and never in a derogatory sense, as de rigueur for Donald Trump to talk about his opponents.

    If Hillary Clinton thinks Bernie Sanders is tough on her, wait until she sees what's coming around the corner.

    Trump,such loyal, devoted family values man, will throw Slick Willie at Hillary. It will be as nasty as , and will get much nastier when Donny is in the polls in the last weeks before the election.

    Thanks, Repugs!

    The issue won't be Bills cheating, it will be Hillary enabling him and then trashing the women to defend the Clinton brand.

    Bill Clinton's Five Major Achievements Were Longstanding GOP Objectives

    Clinton never had a really great relationship with workers' organizations, but the worst thing Clinton he did to them was NAFTA. There were many trade agreements, of course, but NAFTA was the one that mattered, both because it was the first one and because labor put everything into stopping it.

    Bank deregulation was a persistent policy of his from the very beginning -- he signed the Riegle-Neal Act in 1994, for example, and the Mexican bailout (a big favor to Wall Street) came shortly thereafter.

    Along the way, he helped bail out a too-big-to-fail hedge fund, he twice appointed Alan Greenspan to run the Federal Reserve and he ensured that certain derivative securities would not have any kind of federal supervision at all.

    "Fulfilling so much of the GOP agenda": That is a point worth reiterating.

    Clinton had five major achievements as president:

    NAFTA,

    the Crime Bill of 1994,

    welfare reform,

    the deregulation of banks and telecoms, and

    the balanced budget.

    All of them -- every single one -- were longstanding Republican objectives.

    http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/3...gop-objectives

    As I've been saying, I expect Hillary to sign every single pro-Corporate-American, anti-Human-American bill passed by a Repug Congress, while throwing some comparatively "progressive" crumbs to con progressives into thinking she's Democrat.

    Hillary Clinton Just Received a Massive Donation from America’s Most Hated Oligarch

    Newly revealed campaign finance records show that a wealthy Walmart heiress gave a donation exceeding a third of a million dollars to Hillary Clinton’s “Victory Fund.”

    Alice Walton, who ranks #12 in the Forbes 400 with more than $32 billion in personal assets, gave $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund — one of the funds backing her 2016 presidential campaign. While the donation was made in December of 2015, the record of her contribution wasn’t made public until this week. Alice is one of the most controversial Walton heirs. In 2011, she was arrested for drunk driving but ultimately

    got off scot-free despite having a blood alcohol level of 0.16. Walton famously told her arresting officers, “I’m Alice Walton, !”




    This donation comes at a time when the former First Lady and Secretary of State is trying to distance herself from her past, like referring to black youth as “super-predators,” proudly identifying as a “Goldwater girl” in her first foray into politics, and sitting on the board of Walmart for 6 years between 1986 and 1992.

    This astonishing six-figure donation from one of the owners of a company widely-known for its oppressive labor practices comes in stark contrast to her campaign’s portrayal of the former New York senator as a champion of workers.

    Clinton’s campaign has been endorsed by the central leadership of multiple labor unions, like the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), and the National Education Association (NEA).


    As ABC News reported, Hillary Clinton was silent as a member of Walmart’s board when the company ramped up its anti-union practices.

    Some of the most notable examples include circulating a manual on how to beat back Teamster organizing at Walmart warehouses as early as 1991, and

    forcing employees to attend mandatory captive audience meetings in which workers are discouraged by management from joining unions, among other practices.


    “I’m always proud of Wal-Mart and what we do and the way we do it better than anybody else,” Clinton said at a 1990 shareholders’ meeting.

    And Guccifer got his plea deal with the FBI and Justice Department. The hits just keep on coming.


    The Romanian hacker who claimed he easily breached Hillary Clinton’s personal email server is finalizing a plea deal with the FBI and U.S. attorney, Fox News has learned.

    Marcel Lehel Lazar, the 44-year-old hacker also known as “Guccifer,” first gave indications he wanted to cooperate with the U.S. government in mid-April, during an interview with Fox News. Lazar, in a subsequent discussion, said he was working on a plea deal – he then suspended media contact earlier this month.

    On Monday, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia confirmed that a change of plea hearing is now scheduled for Lazar on Wednesday morning. He originally had pleaded not guilty to the nine-count indictment when he was extradited to the U.S.

    He is now expected to plead guilty to some charges.

    It is not publicly known whether the deal being worked out has a provision for cooperating with federal authorities – and whether that has anything to do with the investigation into Clinton’s exclusive use of a private email server for government business while secretary of state.

    But an intelligence source familiar with the FBI probe said if Guccifer pleads guilty to compromising Clinton aide Sidney Blumenthal’s AOL account – which is one of the nine charges – it will show that Clinton’s use of a personal server put sensitive information outside secure government channels and made it accessible to foreign hackers.

    “[Clinton’s] gross negligence allowed this material to get out to an adversary,” the source said. “Through her communications with Blumenthal, [Clinton] contributed exposure and risk.”

    Can't blame Republicans either.

    The FBI and Justice Department work for Obama.

    The whole guccifer and stupid misstatements like Hillary grossly negligence talk is unsustaintiated. Purely republican cannon fodder. Nothing is actually proven. They just say and hope their audience doesn't look the actual facts online.

    As a matter of fact, did you read the link I posted? The state department itself is taking part of the blame saying that even pietrus and Powell kept information after they left their post. In fact, the articles even has a quote from the state department saying Powell hasn't even returned some emails from the time he left.

    The only one here ignoring facts is you.

    But the details in those "Classified" stamps — which include a string of dates, letters and numbers describing the nature of the classification — appear to undermine this account, a Reuters examination of the emails and the relevant regulations has found.
    The new stamps indicate that some of Clinton's emails from her time as the nation's most senior diplomat are filled with a type of information the U.S. government and the department's own regulations automatically deems classified from the get-go — regardless of whether it is already marked that way or not.
    In the small fraction of emails made public so far, Reuters has found at least 30 email threads from 2009, representing scores of individual emails, that include what the State Department's own "Classified" stamps now identify as so-called 'foreign government information.' The U.S. government defines this as any information, written or spoken, provided in confidence to U.S. officials by their foreign counterparts.
    This sort of information, which the department says Clinton both sent and received in her emails, is the only kind that must be "presumed" classified, in part to protect national security and the integrity of diplomatic interactions, according to U.S. regulations examined by Reuters.
    "It's born classified," said J. William Leonard, a former director of the U.S. government's Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO). Leonard was director of ISOO, part of the National Archives and Records Administration, from 2002 until 2008, and worked for both the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush administrations.
    "If a foreign minister just told the secretary of state something in confidence, by U.S. rules that is classified at the moment it's in U.S. channels and U.S. possession," he said in a telephone interview, adding that for the State Department to say otherwise was "blowing smoke."
