The Most Frightening Political Fix
David Horowitz July 5, 2016
Today we have witnessed a most frightening manifestation of the corruption of our political system. Doubly frightening because of what it augurs for all our futures if Hillary Clinton should prevail in the November elections. At the center of this corruption – but hardly alone - are the criminal Clintons – the Bonnie and Clyde of American politics - and their Democratic Party allies; but we should not fail to mention also the Republican enablers who would rather fight each other and appease their adversaries than win the political wars.
We knew they could fix the Department of Justice; we suspected they could fix the FBI. What we didn’t know was that the fixes would be this transparent: the secret meeting with a chief culprit and the DOJ head; the next day announcement by Justice that the Clinton bribery investigations would be postponed until well after the election; the suspiciously brief FBI interrogation of the former Secretary of State who during her entire tenure had recklessly breached national security protocols, deleted 30,000 emails; burned her government schedules; put top secret information onto a hackable server in violation of federal law; and topping it all the failure of the FBI director after enumerating her reckless acts to recommend a prosecution - all within a single week, and just in time for the Democrats’ nominating convention. It was, all in all, the most breathtaking fix in American history.

Hillary’s Banana Republic
by David French July 5, 2016
FBI Director James Comey meticulously outlined Hillary Clinton’s wrongdoing and lies — before announcing she would face no consequences.
Tuesday morning, FBI Director James Comey stepped up to a podium and calmly and methodically demolished every single Hillary Clinton lie, spin, and evasion regarding her misuse of classified information. Months of deception blew up in her face. And then Comey decided to make her president of the United States.
Rarely have 30 minutes of television so perfectly encapsulated the decline and fall of the rule of law and the extraordinary privileges enjoyed by America’s liberal elite. After listing abuse after abuse — and detailing lie after lie — Comey declared that “no reasonable prosecutor” would prosecute Hillary for her obvious and manifest crimes. It’s good to be a Clinton.
As we ponder the magnitude of Hillary’s wrongdoing, consider the facts as uncovered by the FBI investigation. Begin with the stunning and sobering reality that Clinton sent and received Secret and Top Secret information from her unclassified, unsecured e-mail account.

The FBI and the Virus of Deception
By Harry G. Hutchison
It is regrettable, bewildering, and shameful. Once again the American people have been treated to the manifestation of willful deception by an Administration that has promised citizens transparency. Last week, the virus of deception invaded in the form of the Department of Justice’s willingness to redact terrorist phone calls to censor the jihadist intent. This week, this virus spread to the FBI.
The ACLJ is fighting back in order to halt the unprecedented and unconscionable behavior by government officials in the FBI, the State Department, and the Justice Department.
Just as the Obama Administration has engaged in an intentional and coordinated campaign to stonewall Congress’s Benghazi investigation, and just as the government has been occupied by an attempt to mislead citizens by first hiding and then deleting evidence of its deceptive claim that no secret bilateral negotiations were ongoing between the U.S. and Iran, it now appears that FBI Director Comey has rewritten the felony statute that requires U.S. officials to safeguard classified communications in order to absolve the former Secretary of State of culpability. ...
Just as the Administration blamed the attack on the Benghazi compound on an obscure internet video, and just as the Administration continues to deflect attention from its failure to send troops to save the lives of Americans in Libya, it is now clear that the contagion of deception has spread to the FBI in the form of department’s deceptive decision to rewrite the felony statute without authority to do so. Now Attorney General Lynch has officially closed the case, hiding behind the FBI's rewrite of the statute.
This pattern of deception indicates two things. First the rules do not apply to the rich and powerful. Second, it signifies that the rules matter little to this Administration, and its pursuit of power, no matter how often officials invoke their devotion to transparency and openness.
Responding to the growing threat to our liberty posed by the Obama Administration’s pattern of deception in Benghazi, at the State Department, at the Justice Department, and now at the FBI, the ACLJ will redouble its efforts to engage this Administration at every turn. Last week, the ACLJ filed an important freedom of information lawsuit against the State Department. Simultaneously the ACLJ filed a FOIA request with the Department of Justice and the FBI regarding the 911 transcript of the phone call made by Omar Mateen during his jihadist attack in Orlando. In addition, the ACLJ is preparing to file a timely FOIA request in order lay bare the facts behind the FBI’s decision to rewrite the statute in order to block the prosecution of the former Secretary of State.
These filings and proposed filings are part of the ACLJ’s sustained effort to unmask the Administration’s stubborn devotion to false narratives and faux investigations. In explaining why he stubbornly refuses to follow the text of the felony statute and apply it to the mishandling of classified information by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Director Comey said the following: “Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”
Whether Director Comey was responding to Administration pressure or not, this claim is untrue and indefensible. Join with the ACLJ in draining the swamp of corruption.

US House speaker formally requests that Clinton be barred from classified data
7 Jul, 2016 RTNews
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton must be denied access to classified information during her election campaign, Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said in a written request to Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
"There is no legal requirement for you to provide Secretary Clinton with classified information, and it would send the wrong signal to all those charged with safeguarding our nation's secrets if you choose to provide her access to this information despite the FBI's findings," Ryan wrote in a letter to Clapper.
Ryan added that blocking Clinton's access to classified briefings during her electoral campaign would be an adequate sanction for her handling of sensitive emails while secretary of state.
"Given the FBI's findings, denying Secretary Clinton access to classified information certainly constitutes appropriate sanctions."
The House speaker's letter goes on to say that if Clapper chooses to deny the formal request, he will have to explain the "rationale for granting Secretary Clinton access to classified information" despite the FBI's earlier findings that Clinton and her team have been “extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”
The House speaker announced the Republicans will carry out their own inquiries and said he would not rule out using any means to see if Clinton had been given preferential treatment by the FBI.

Comey Indicts Hillary Clinton—But Recommends No Indictment
by Roger Aronoff on July 11, 2016
Back in March, when it appeared that FBI Director James Comey might call for the indictment of Hillary Clinton, I laid out the stark consequences of failing to bring criminal charges against the now presumptive Democratic presidential candidate: “Now the administration faces its biggest challenge, which will determine whether the U.S. has become a banana republic: Will Hillary Clinton be indicted?”
The day when our Republic has succumbed to corruption, politicization and cronyism has arrived. In light of the decision last week by Director Comey and his rationale for it, we may have become that banana republic.
The idea that Hillary Clinton broke no laws while secretary of state is offensive to anyone who believes in equal justice for all. Even Director Comey, during his July 5 statement to announce that the FBI will not recommend prosecution, did not argue that Mrs. Clinton and her staff weren’t in the wrong. Rather, he said that “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case” against Mrs. Clinton. But a number of very reasonable former prosecutors have since said otherwise: Rudy Giuliani, Joe diGenova, former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, and Andy McCarthy, to name a few. Yes, they’re all Republicans, just like Comey. But Comey owes his appointment as FBI director to President Obama, whose knowledge of Hillary’s use of an unsecured server implicates his own office in this ongoing scandal. This may well explain why Obama has had his thumb on the scale, long ago declaring Hillary’s actions as merely “careless” and not jeopardizing national security, while claiming no knowledge of the investigation beyond what was in the media.
Comey said investigators “did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information,” but they did find evidence “that [Clinton and her aides] were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.”

False Congressional Testimony and the FBI’s Defective Investigation
By Harry G. Hutchison
In the past week, Americans have continued to wrestle with questions about whether the United States is a nation of laws or a nation of men. Either we are going to be a nation committed to the equal treatment for everyone before the law or we aren’t.
Since our nation’s commitment to the rule of law is a fundamental keystone of our republic, the FBI’s recent behavior remains confusing, confounding, and mystifying.
Despite this commitment, FBI Director Comey’s news conference on Tuesday July 5, 2016 explaining his decision not to issue a criminal referral and his Congressional testimony last week render a number of essential facts obvious to reasonable observers.
First, despite former Secretary Clinton’s denials to the contrary, she (1) sent and received classified materials while using her private email server; (2) transmitted emails that were classified at the time they were sent and some of the classified emails contained markings demonstrating that they contained classified material at the time they were transmitted; (3) failed to turn over all of her work-related correspondence nor did her lawyers ever read the contents of the emails, which were included on her private servers; and (4) gave unauthorized people access to classified information.
Second, in spite of such demonstrable misconduct, the record shows that former Secretary of State Clinton received favorable treatment in comparison with less influential individuals such as General David Petraeus, and others. In fact, responding to Director Comey’s claim that there was no precedent to charge Secretary Clinton for her actions, House Judiciary Chairman Goodlatte and the other signatories note in a letter to Director Comey that there is precedent for prosecution, citing a case where a Marine was found guilty of “gross negligence” in his mishandling of classified material.
Third, American public opinion agrees with that assessment.
Although, the evidence unmistakably indicates that former Secretary Clinton violated the law by engaging in extremely careless behavior, FBI Director Comey rewrote the statute by adding a nonexistent element—intent—in order to justify his decision to decline to submit a criminal referral to the Justice Department.
Director Comey’s astonishing decision to rewrite the statute amounts to a proclamation that the rich and powerful have declared their independence from the rule of law.

FBI Director James Comey Has To Go
By Jay Sekulow
FBI Director James Comey has broken the sacred trust of the American people.
He conducted a faux investigation into the State Department email scandal in which dozens of confidential and top-secret emails passing through an unsecured, private server put our national security at risk.
He handed out immunity deals to most of the major players involved in the investigation. He ignored evidence to protect the Clinton Team from prosecution. He put President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton’s political legacy ahead of the law.
He made secret deals to destroy evidence, thwarting congressional subpoenas. That’s called obstruction of justice. It’s a crime. James Comey violated the law. He violated his oath of office. It’s corruption at the highest level.
Enough is enough.
The FBI Director’s job is to uphold the law, not break it. His job is to investigate crimes, not commit them. It’s time for the Obama Administration’s FBI Director James Comey to resign. If not, Congress should impeach him and remove him from office.
Article I, Section 2 dictates, “The House of Representatives shall choose their speaker and other officers; and shall have the sole power of impeachment.” Article I, Section 3 further includes, “The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present. Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States: but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment, according to law.”
Article II, Section 4 details who is subject to impeachment: “The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
FBI Director James Comey is a civil officer of the United States subject to impeachment by Congress.
Here are the plain facts – if anyone else had done what the FBI did in this faux investigation, they would be subject to felony convictions and decades in prison. If that’s not high crimes and misdemeanors, I’m not sure what is.
The Constitution is clear about impeachment.

FBI agents blast decision not to indict Clinton
David Rosenberg 13/10/16
Agents and ranking officials in the Federal Bureau of Investigations overwhelmingly rejected FBI chief James Comey’s decision not to indict former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her mishandling of classified government documents on a private email server, bureau officials told Fox News.
One source closely involved in the case said agents and attorneys in the bureau were unanimously opposed to the decision not to indict Mrs. Clinton. The announcement in July that the FBI would not recommend an indictment reportedly disgusted the team of investigators involved in the case.
“No trial level attorney agreed, no agent working the case agreed, with the decision not to prosecute -- it was a top-down decision,” the source said.
