Fitton – New 2,800 Abedin Emails Included Marked Classified – Sessions Must Act
by rickwells.us
{rickwells.us} ~ Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch is asked to comment on their latest revelation... the 2,800 liar-Hillary Clinton emails they forced the State Department to release, emails that were found over a year ago on the shared server of Human Abedin and Anthony Weiner. The Fox and Friends hosts point out that at least four of the documents that have been reviewed thus far contain classified information and were marked as such. Fitton notes they’ve been being held up since October of 2016, that the FBI sat on them for months before handing them off to the State Department where they sat on them for six months. He describes them as “A remarkable demonstration of why we have laws against the mishandling of classified information. You don’t put material on unsecured systems and if Anthony Weiner’s laptop doesn’t meet the definition of an unsecured system I don’t know what would.”... https://rickwells.us/fitton-abedin-emails-classified/.
DOJ “Coordinated” Fast & Furious
Freedom of Info requests from me, others
by Sharyl Attkisson
{sharylattkisson.com} ~ Freedom of Information (FOI) law was supposed to make it easier for all of us to get our hands on public documents that we own... documents that government too often tries to keep secret. But as I’ve written about and testified to many times, including before House and the Senate committees, FOI law has been perverted by bad actors in government under both political parties so that it is a tool they use to obstruct, obfuscate and delay. What happens when you ask to see a document the feds could put their hands on immediately? Gone are the days when they’ll simply provide it. I’ve had federal officials literally be holding a piece of paper in their hand that the public is entitled to see upon demand—yet when asked, they require a formal, written FOI request. That request goes to the end of an intentionally long queue that equates to months or years of waiting... https://sharylattkisson.com/2017/12/30/doj-coordinated-fast-furious-freedom-of-info-requests-from-me-others/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SharylAttkisson+%28Sharyl+Attkisson%29

The End of the Islamic Republic of Iran?
by ROBERT SPENCER
{freedomoutpost.com} ~ There is no way to tell now what will be the outcome of the massive protests that are sweeping Iran... but that they are undeniably momentous, despite the cavalier treatment they have received from the establishment media in the West. They have already led to the Tehran Police announcing that they will no longer enforce the dress codes for women that were imposed after the Islamic Revolution of 1979, and more could be coming, including the downfall of the Islamic regime itself – although the mullahs are mobilizing their military, and will not go down without a fight. Whatever happens next, what has already happened is extraordinary. Unlike the 2009 Green Movement protests, which featured protesters shouting “Allahu akbar,” signaling that all they wanted was reform of the Islamic regime, not the end of the regime itself, the protesters over the last few days have been clear, chanting: “We don’t want an Islamic Republic!” “Clerics shame on you, let go of our country!” Some have even chanted: “Reza Shah, bless your soul!”... https://freedomoutpost.com/end-islamic-republic-iran/.

Trump Criticizes Manchin:
'He Talks But He Doesn't Do Anything'
{townhall.com} ~ President Donald Trump blasted Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and other Democrats who are perceived as centrists Wednesday in an interview the The New York Times. He said that despite the appearance of some willingness for compromise, Manchin and others like him are all talk and no action.
“Like Joe Manchin,” Trump said. “He talks. But he doesn’t do anything. He doesn’t do.”
Trump said Manchin will say “‘hey, let’s get together, let’s do bipartisan.’ I say, ‘Good, let’s go.’ Then you don’t hear from him again.”
Despite his frustration over the unwillingness to compromise, Trump said that “he still hoped Democrats will work with him on bipartisan legislation in the coming year to overhaul health care, improve the country’s crumbling infrastructure and help young immigrants brought to the country as children.”
West Virginia voted overwhelmingly in favor of Trump in the 2016 election and Manchin faces a tough re-election fight in 2018.
In the face of pressure to toe the Democratic party line, Manchin said in August that he “doesn’t give a sh*t about re-election” and wants to do what’s best for his state.
Manchin had difficulty explaining his recent opposition to the GOP tax bill last week and even acknowledged that it will benefit the majority of West Virginians. He ended up claiming that he opposed the bill because the tax cuts weren’t permanent and because it added to the national debt.
Regarding his upcoming election, Manchin told Politico recently, “I’m not worried at all. Not one iota am I worried.”
