Why Comey Reopened the liar-Hillary Investigation

liar-Hillary Is No Friend of Small Business
Louis DeBroux: In an effort to distract from her core anti-free market ideology, liar-Hillary Clinton threw a proverbial bone to American small business owners during the debates. Speaking in the first debate, the Queen of Pay-to-Play said, "I want us to invest in you. I want us to invest in your future. That means jobs in infrastructure, in advanced manufacturing, innovation and technology, clean, renewable energy, and small business, because most of the new jobs will come from small business. We also have to make the economy fairer. That starts with raising the national minimum wage and also guarantee, finally, equal pay for women's work."
liar-Clinton, who has spent her entire adult life in government, is so bereft of understanding regarding the fundamental tenets of the free market that she likely didn't understand the contradictory clauses in her statement. Or she did, which is even worse.
First, government does not "invest." Investing requires capital, and in a free market, capital is owned by individuals and businesses. Government does not have a single penny that it does not first confiscate from a private individual who earned it. And when liar-Hillary talks about making the economy "fairer," she means she wants government to pick winners and losers. Of course, there has to be some kind of system by which winners and losers are determined — like maybe, who donates to the liar-Clinton Foundation?
In a true free market, the winners are those that are best able to allocate scarce resources in the most efficient way in order to meet the demands of the market. Those that innovate, who create goods and services that people want, are the ones who succeed. Those who are inefficient, wasteful, or who don't recognize what the market wants, are the ones who fail. Unless they have friends in government.
For decades, we have lived not so much in a free market as a quasi-capitalist/corporate socialism hybrid where small businesses and major corporations operate under different rules. Small businesses innovate, risk capital, and work tirelessly to bring new goods and services to the market, all while being forced to navigate through literally tens of thousands of pages of federal regulations, a byzantine tax code, and the heaviest tax burden in the industrialized world.
Big Business, on the other hand, can afford an army of lawyers and lobbyists to manipulate the system for their benefit. They can buy off politicians who in turn write special exemptions into the tax and regulatory code for them, and then the same politicians hypocritically rail against the exemptions they wrote, demanding an end to these "loopholes." Small businesses, which create nearly two-thirds of all new jobs in America, and which account for nearly half of all private GDP growth, do not have that luxury, and find themselves crushed under the weight of government bureaucracy.
In the second debate, liar-Hillary had the audacity to say, "We've got to provide some additional help to small businesses so that they can afford to provide health insurance." liar-Clinton has been a champion (godmother, even) of liar-nObamaCare, which is a massive regulatory takeover of the U.S. health care system. Rather than "bend the cost curve down" as Barack liar-nObama promised, it has caused premiums and deductibles to skyrocket, and millions of Americans lost their health insurance. Furthermore, it has forced small business owners across the country to freeze or reduce hiring, cut hours, and shift workers to part-time in order to avoid the more onerous, back-breaking provisions of the health care law.
In the third debate, liar-Hillary claimed that she wants "to do more to help small business" but then, literally in the next sentence, said she wants to raise the minimum wage, which is nothing more than an additional tax on businesses, the levying of which raises their labor costs and reduces profitability, and even drives some businesses out of business altogether.
According to the 2016 Small Business and Priorities Survey, "unreasonable government regulations" is the second biggest worry of small business owners in America. The first? Rising health care costs.
Both of these are a direct result of the very kind of government interference in (or a takeover of) the free market that liar-Clinton advocates. liar-nObamaCare has crippled the health care market, driving up costs and increasing complexity. Likewise, the liar-nObama administration has implemented, since liar-nObama took the oath of office, a staggering 229 new "major" rules (rules expected to cost businesses and individuals at least $100 million in direct compliance costs), for a total of $107.7 billion in new regulatory costs.
That doesn't even include the massive amount of new indirect costs, in the form of millions of man-hours to fill out federal compliance reports and forms, or the hiring of lawyers and accountants to make sure they don't end up in jail for accidentally violating some arcane rule. There is also the hidden cost of the distortion this does to business planning, forcing companies to make decisions not based on what is best for the shareholders or employees, or what will sell best, but rather, what will keep them out of the crosshairs of government bureaucrats who often act arbitrarily and vindictively.
Frederick Douglass, the famous freed-slave, abolitionist and orator, once declared, "Everybody has asked the question... 'What shall be done with the Negro?' I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us!"
The same, we dare say, should be applied to the free market. End burdensome taxation and slash regulations to only those absolutely necessary to protect the public from harm, a course which has shown immediate benefits. And then keep government out of it, and let businesses thrive or crumble according to their entrepreneurialism and market demands. Government meddling has caused almost nothing but mischief. ~The Patriot Post

US food aid’s costly problem
by Vincent H. Smiyh and Ryan Nabil
{aei.org} ~ Conflicts across the Middle East have brought many in the region to the verge of starvation. The United States urgently needs to organize and deliver more food aid to hundreds of thousands of displaced people in Syria, northern Iraq... and refugee camps in the surrounding countries, particularly as the campaign against the Islamic State, or ISIS, intensifies. Washington’s emergency food aid programs form the core of the world’s efforts to meet the basic needs of about 12 million displaced and desperate Syrians. Since 2011, emergency assistance from the United States to Syria has amounted to $2.3 billion, nearly four times more than what the European Union, the second-largest donor, provides...Why do we have to supply the world when other countries can help. http://www.aei.org/publication/us-food-aids-costly-problem/?utm_source=paramount&utm_medium=email&utm_content=AEITODAY&utm_campaign=110316

Saddam with nuclear weapons boss Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar in the early days
{wnd.com} ~ One of America’s busiest cargo shipping ports has been quietly turned over to a United Arab Emirates-based company whose chairman is none other than the brother of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s top nuclear scientist... Remember the 2006 Dubai ports deal? But nary a peep has been raised by a similar deal, secretly negotiated by the liar-nObama administration, that turned over a Port Canaveral terminal to UAE-based Gulftainer, a company whose principals include Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar, who has been called the Middle East’s foremost uranium enrichment and nuclear weapons production expert, and his brother Hamid Jafar, a wealthy Iraqi oilman and chairman of the Crescent Group... http://www.wnd.com/2016/11/saddams-nuke-scientist-linked-to-u-s-shipping-terminal/

The Justice Official Leading the liar-Hillary Clinton Probe Leaked Information To the
liar-Clinton Campaign
by streiff
{redstate.com} ~ Key points. The subject line is Heads up. The email came from Kadzik’s personal email account, not from his .gov address so there is no way this was an official “notice” email... Kadzik is feeding information that he knows due solely to his employment to liar-Hillary Clinton’s campaign. This is total corruption. This is not the rule of law and “letting the chips fall where they may.” This is the active intervention of a senior executive branch official in an ongoing Congressional investigation...Is there ANYONE who isn't corrupt? http://www.redstate.com/streiff/2016/11/02/justice-official-leading-hillary-clinton-probe-leaked-information-clinton-campaign/?utm_source=rsmorningbriefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl

Bret Baier: Barring ‘Obstruction,’ Indictment
Almost Certain In FBI Investigation
by Blake Neff
{dailycaller.com} ~ Citing sources at the FBI, Fox News anchor Bret Baier said the FBI’s renewed investigation of liar-Hillary Clinton’s email server will almost certainly end in an indictment, unless some sort of “obstruction” arises... Baier made the claim Wednesday night during a broadcast of “On the Record” with Brit Hume. He said that a “lot of evidence” had been recovered from Anthony Wiener’s laptop, and made an eventual indictment appear very likely, even if it came months after the election...

Why Comey Reopened the liar-Hillary Investigation
by Ed Klein
“The atmosphere at the FBI has been toxic ever since Jim announced last July that he wouldn’t recommend an indictment against liar-Hillary,” according to a source close to the embattled FBI director, who has known Comey for nearly two decades, shares family outings with him, and accompanies him to Catholic mass every week.
“Some people, including department heads, stopped talking to Jim, and even ignored his greetings when they passed him in the hall,” said the source. “They felt that he betrayed them and brought disgrace on the bureau by letting liar-Hillary off with a slap on the wrist.”
According to the source, Comey fretted over the problem for months and discussed it at great length with his wife, Patrice.
He told his wife that he was depressed by the stack of resignation letters piling up on his desk from disaffected agents. The letters reminded him every day that morale in the FBI had hit rock bottom.
“He’s been ignoring the resignation letters in the hope that he could find a way of redeeming himself in the eyes of his colleagues and the nation,” said the source. “When new emails that appeared to be related to liar-Hillary’s personal email server turned up in a computer used by her close aide Huma Abedin and Abedin’s disgraced husband Anthony Weiner, Comey jumped at the excuse to reopen the investigation.
“The people he trusts the most have been the angriest at him,” the source continued. “And that includes his wife, Pat. She kept urging him to admit that he had been wrong when he refused to press charges against the former secretary of state.
“He talks about the damage that he’s done to himself and the institution of the FBI, and how he’s been shunned by the men and women who he admires and work for him. It’s taken a tremendous toll on him. It shattered his ego. He looks like he’s aged 10 years in the past four months.”
But Comey’s decision to reopen the case was more than an effort to heal the wound he inflicted on the FBI. He was also worried that after the presidential election, Republicans in Congress would mount a probe of how he had granted liar-Hillary political favoritism.
His announcement about the revived investigation, which came just 11 days before the presidential election, was greeted with shock and dismay by Attorney General Loretta Lynch and the prosecutors at the Justice Department.
“Jim told me that Lynch and liar-nObama were furious with him,” the source said.
As I revealed in my latest New York Times bestseller Guilty As Sin ,liar-nObama said that appointing Comey as FBI director was “my worst mistake as president.”
