liar-Hillary's Piggy Bank: The liar-Clinton Foundation
The Journal may have summed up this latest email dump best when it reported, "It is astonishingly detailed proof that the liar-Clintons do not draw any lines between their 'charitable' work, their political activity, their government jobs or (and most important) their personal enrichment. Every other American is expected to keep these pursuits separate, as required by tax law, anticorruption law and campaign-finance law. For the liar-Clintons, it is all one and the same — the rules be damned."
If liar-Hillary wins the election, Americans can only expect more of the same, though this time it will be liar-Clinton Administration, Inc.

Unions Just Keep Pushing Taxes
From California to Maine and Oklahoma to Washington, public sector unions are pushing for new taxes and increases to existing ones. In California, a supposed "temporary" tax that's set to expire is being put on the ballot for extension until 2030 — it's "needed" to pay public school teachers even as the state's revenue has grown by 40% since 2012. In Maine, in order to meet Medicaid needs, voters are asked to authorize an increase in the state income tax to 10.15% on households earning over $200,000 a year. This would put Maine's state income tax rate second only to California's 13.3%.
The teachers' union in Oklahoma is backing a constitutional amendment that would raise the state's sales tax to 9.85% in order to raise public school teacher salaries by $5,000 across the board. This would make Oklahoma's sales tax rate the second highest in the nation. And in Washington, a carbon-tax referendum is on the ballot. It has been designed to be revenue neutral by lowering the state sales tax in relation to carbon-tax percentage. It's intended to promote environmentally friendly behavior, but state unions aren't happy with the referendum because there would be no revenue created from it. They would rather see the new carbon-tax without any lowering of the state sales tax.
What all these public sector unions have in common is the leftist belief that the government is entitled to as much money from the private sector as it wants. These unions promote the concept that citizens work on behalf of the government, not that the government works on behalf of citizens. The concept of patriotic duty done in service to the American people rather than the pursuit of greater power in order take advantage of and control citizens' behavior should be the attitude and commitment of those in public office. Too often, however, we see the latter and not the former in our elected officials. ~The Patriot Post

Very Strange: Attorney General Loretta Lynch
“Pleads the Fifth” on Iran Payoff!
by Jeff Dunetz
{lidblog.com} ~ “Pleading the Fifth” has become a kind of pop-culture reference with the rise in popularity of TV cop dramas... We hear the phrase often in our popular media and we’ve come to believe it’s just something one says when facing down the authorities. However, it really isn’t that common of an event, and it can still be quite surprising when someone uses the phrase in a government hearing…Especially when that someone is the Attorney General of the United States... http://lidblog.com/strange-attorney-general-loretta-lynch-pleads-fifth-iran-payoff/

Sessions Says Comey Reopening Investigation
Means Evidence Is Serious
by Rick Wells
{gopthedailydose.com} ~ In addition to her prepared statement, liar-Hillary Clinton told reporters in response to a question that neither she nor any of her advisers have been contacted... directly by either Jim Comey or anyone else at the FBI on the day that the revelations of the investigation being reopened became public. She’s asked if she’s concerned that the new emails will in any way reveal classified information that she sent or received, a question that she chose to ignore. She stated that it is her belief that people have already made up their minds about the emails and it is factored into what they think. They need to hurry to the polls and vote early, apparently because there is a danger presented by waiting for more information to be leaked out... http://gopthedailydose.com/2016/10/29/dobbs-sessions-says-comey-reopening-investigation-means-evidence-serious/

Biden Defends liar-Clinton Server,
Lying About It...
by Rick Wells
{rickwells.us} ~ CFR globalist Charlie Rose makes sure he uses the word “stolen” in describing the method through which John Podesta emails were obtained and subsequently released by WikiLeaks... The fact that they reveal lawbreaking, dishonesty, corruption and hypocrisy is not relevant to the propagandist or his comrades. Rose reads the official lie of the Democrats, a proclamation that “liar-Clinton campaign officials were caught off guard by her use of a private email account,” which is different from the text which describes it as a personal email account. There was nothing private about her email; it was read, stored and shared by agencies of every nation, friend or foe, around the globe. “Personal” or “illegal” are much more accurate descriptions and do not hide the ugly truth or imply that our secrets were still secure the way attaching the word “private” does... http://rickwells.us/biden-defends-clinton-server-lying-just-battered-thinker/

'Pay to Slay': liar-Hillary link
to baby body-parts biz revealed
by Bob Unruh
{wnd.com} ~ It’s a new bombshell in the scandal that horrified Americans as they learned unborn babies had their body parts harvested and sold around the world... the discovery that liar-Hillary Clinton’s State Department granted favorable treatment to a family involved in the harvesting. The federal agency expedited the immigration of the Isaias family, whose ownership of the DaVinci Biosciences and DV Biologics companies made headlines again recently when the district attorney in Orange County brought a criminal lawsuit against them... http://www.wnd.com/2016/10/hillary-linked-to-baby-body-parts-scandal/

What Happened to the FBI?
by Judge Andrew Napolitano
{townhall.com} ~ When FBI Director James Comey announced on July 5 that the Department of Justice would not seek the indictment of liar-Hillary Clinton for failure to safeguard state secrets related to her email use while she was secretary of state, he both jumped the gun and set in motion a series of events that surely he did not intend. Was his hand forced by the behavior of FBI agents who wouldn't take no for an answer? Did he let the FBI become a political tool?
Here is the back story.
The FBI began investigating the liar-Clinton email scandal in the spring of 2015, when The New York Times revealed liar-Clinton's use of a private email address for her official governmental work and the fact that she did not preserve the emails on State Department servers, contrary to federal law. After an initial collection of evidence and a round of interviews, agents and senior managers gathered in the summer of 2015 to discuss how to proceed. It was obvious to all that a prima-facie case could be made for espionage, theft of government property and obstruction of justice charges. The consensus was to proceed with a formal criminal investigation.
Six months later, the senior FBI agent in charge of that investigation resigned from the case and retired from the FBI because he felt the case was going "sideways"; that's law enforcement jargon for "nowhere by design." John Giacalone had been the chief of the New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., field offices of the FBI and, at the time of his "sideways" comment, was the chief of the FBI National Security Branch.
The reason for the "sideways" comment must have been Giacalone's realization that DOJ and FBI senior management had decided that the investigation would not work in tandem with a federal grand jury. That is nearly fatal to any government criminal case. In criminal cases, the FBI and the DOJ cannot issue subpoenas for testimony or for tangible things; only grand juries can.
Giacalone knew that without a grand jury, the FBI would be toothless, as it would have no subpoena power. He also knew that without a grand jury, the FBI would have a hard time persuading any federal judge to issue search warrants. A judge would perceive the need for search warrants to be not acute in such a case because to a judge, the absence of a grand jury can only mean a case is "sideways" and not a serious investigation.
As the investigation dragged on in secret and Donald Trump simultaneously began to rise in the Republican presidential primaries, it became more apparent to Giacalone's successors that the goal of the FBI was to exonerate liar-Clinton, not determine whether there was enough evidence to indict her. In late spring of this year, agents began interviewing the liar-Clinton inner circle.
When liar-Clinton herself was interviewed on July 2 -- for only four hours, during which the interviewers seemed to some in the bureau to lack aggression, passion and determination -- some FBI agents privately came to the same conclusion as their former boss: The case was going sideways.
A few determined agents were frustrated by liar-Clinton's professed lack of memory during her interview and her oblique reference to a recent head injury she had suffered as the probable cause of that. They sought to obtain her medical records to verify the gravity of her injury and to determine whether she had been truthful with them. They prepared the paperwork to obtain the records, only to have their request denied by Director Comey himself on July 4.
Then some agents did the unthinkable; they reached out to colleagues in the intelligence community and asked them to obtain liar-Clinton's medical records so they could show them to Comey. We know that the National Security Agency can access anything that is stored digitally, including medical records. These communications took place late on July 4.
When Comey learned of these efforts, he headed them off the next morning with his now infamous news conference, in which he announced that liar-Clinton would not be indicted because the FBI had determined that her behavior, though extremely careless, was not reckless, which is the legal standard in espionage cases. He then proceeded to recount the evidence against her. He did this, no doubt, to head off the agents who had sought the liar-Clinton medical records, whom he suspected would leak evidence against her.
Three months later -- and just weeks before liar-Clinton will probably be elected president -- we have learned that President Barack liar-nObama regularly communicated with liar-Clinton via her personal email servers about matters that the White House considered classified. That means that he lied when he told CBS News that he learned of the liar-Clinton servers when the rest of us did.
We also learned this week that Andrew McCabe, Giacalone's successor as head of the FBI Washington field office and presently the No. 3 person in the FBI, is married to a woman to whom the liar-Clinton money machine in Virginia funneled about $675,000 in lawful campaign funds for a failed 2015 run for the Virginia Senate. Comey apparently saw no conflict or appearance of impropriety in having the person in charge of the liar-Clinton investigation in such an ethically challenged space.
Why did this case go sideways?
Did President liar-nObama fear being a defense witness at liar-Hillary Clinton's criminal trial? Did he so fear being succeeded in office by Donald Trump that he ordered the FBI to exonerate liar-Clinton, the rule of law be damned? Did the FBI lose its reputation for fidelity to law, bravery under stress and integrity at all times?
This is not your grandfather's FBI -- or your father's. It is the liar-nObama FBI.
