FBI Director James ‘Rule of Law’ Comey Could Sway 2016 Election

FBI Director James Comey is one of the most intriguing figures in Washington today: a key official who evidently gives little thought to White House narratives before speaking his mind. Comey has always insisted his agency will handle the Hillary Clinton email case in a tough and fair manner, famously asserting that his people “don’t give a rip about politics.” He has expressed a particular dedication for taking the protection of classified material seriously.

FBI Expands Hillary Clinton Probe, Investigates Possible False Statements

Fox News reports word from sources within the intelligence community that the FBI’s probe of Hillary Clinton’s email server is expanding again, and will now include the investigation of “materially false” statements, under a statute that also covers pressuring third parties to participate in cover-ups. If the Bureau is talking about indicting people for false statements this quickly after moving from preliminary inquiries into a full-blown investigation, it probably isn’t good news for ClintonWorld.

The CNBC Debate Moderators On Hillary Clinton and Free Trade

Consumers of political news should understand that the biases of debate moderators are highly relevant. It doesn’t mean moderators with strong views are incapable of running a good debate, but the networks really ought to make portfolios of their moderators’ political history available for easy public consumption. It is fair to ask what sort of perspective these CNBC moderators bring to the presidential contest.

FBI Agents Angered By Obama’s Attempt to Influence Hillary Clinton Investigation

If we weren’t so numb to lawlessness and politicized bureaucracy from seven years of Obama scandals, this would be a national outrage. The President just tried to influence the outcome of a criminal investigation, on behalf of a powerful Democrat politician. Of course, he loves to insert himself into politically useful criminal matters, while having nothing to say about politically damaging ones, such as sanctuary-city murders by illegal aliens.

Clinton Exposed Name of Top CIA Source Via Unprotected Email

The title given to Michael Isikoff’s piece is “Benghazi Committee, Under Fire, Releases More Clinton Emails,” but the big news is right up front, in the first few paragraphs: Hillary Clinton carelessly exposed a top CIA human intelligence asset in Libya, in an email sent through her unsecure private mail server.

Hillary Clinton’s Cloud Backup Company Hands Over Equipment to FBI

“With the consent of our client and their end user, and consistent with our policies regarding data privacy, yesterday, Tuesday, October 6, Datto delivered a hardware device to the FBI containing all backed up data related to Platte Rivers Networks’ client known to be in its possession,” said the company. The “end user” would presumably be either Hillary Clinton or an entity under her control, such as the “Clinton Executive Service Corporation,” which pops up in many stories about how Platte River Networks was contracted to take care of the email server.

Hillary Clinton’s Online Backup Service Was Concerned About Security Gaps

Not only has Datto surrendered equipment to the FBI, but they’ve also stated that they warned Hillary Clinton’s computer company, Platte River Networks, that her server was vulnerable to hackers… and they say their warnings were disregarded, because FBI investigators ordered that the system should not be altered in any way.

215 More Classified Emails On Hillary Clinton Server, Three Marked ‘Secret’

Many of the documents in this new release were “born classified,” under a presidential order that treats all foreign government information as confidential by default – a protocol Hillary Clinton was thoroughly instructed on, and would have been re-briefed on several times during her tenure as Secretary of State. One very good reason for the “born classified” rule is that the U.S. government doesn’t want foreign officials to be reluctant to share such information.

Seven Unanswered Questions About Hillary Clinton’s Emails

Emails Between Hillary Clinton and Petraeus Discovered, Contradicting Her Sworn Statement

Hillary Clinton didn’t just “claim” she turned over all of her work-related emails. She signed a sworn statement to that effect in August, under penalty of perjury, and submitted it to a federal court. It’s the same statement her top aides Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills refused to sign. Many observers thought the proverbial Other Shoe would drop on Clinton when the FBI started recovering deleted emails from the server she thought was wiped clean, but it doesn’t sound like we’ve even gotten to that closet full of Other Shoes yet.

Clinton Caught Lying About Role In Aide’s Very Special Work Arrangement

On one of the rare occasions the enigmatic Hillary Clinton decided to sit down for an interview a few weeks ago, she was asked about criticism of the very, very, very special work arrangement for her top aide, Huma Abedin. Abedin was allowed to collect paychecks from the government and two additional private concerns linked to the Clintons… under a rule normally invoked to get top scientists and industrial geniuses to work for Uncle Sam without giving up lucrative private jobs.

Mainstream Media Finally Starting to Notice Hillary Clinton In Deep Trouble

The MSM eagerly leaks editorial comments and analysis into stories it wants to blend into some larger, politically useful Narrative, but with Clinton most of those little contextual nuggets have consisted of breezy assurances that she’s still heavily favored to win both the Democrat primary and 2016 presidential election. The Narrative says that she had a rough summer, but her campaign will finish analyzing her “challenges” and re-inventing her to perfection any day now.

Workers prepare the plinth (L), where the monument of the last Russian Emperor, Tsar Nicholas II, will be placed in Belgrade on October 13, 2014.

On October 16, Russian President Vladimir Putin will visit and attend a military parade marking the 70th anniversary of Belgrade's liberation from fascist occupation.

State Dept. Appoints ‘Transparency Czar’ After Clinton Email Scandal

Czars are often dropped as distractions, like a fighter jet ejecting flares to avoid heat-seeking missiles. The appointment of a powerful new position with great fanfare is the ultimate Washington way of pretending to Do Something and mollify an angry public. And so, there comes unto the State Department a new “transparency czar,” officially to be known as the Transparency Coordinator.
