Has Hillary run out of excuses for her private email server? It seemed that way Saturday when the candidate offered a denial of wrongdoing which directly contradicted a statement released a day earlier by not one but two Inspectors General.

In fact, Hillary has frequently used the phrase “safe, legal and rare” when talking about abortion policy.

A report on the breach of OPM’s computers systems by the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT) says hackers did not have to work very hard to gain entry.
