Louisiana U.S. Sen. David Vitter (R) says the State Department has reversed its interpretation of a law that would ban Iranian students from studying advanced courses in the United States with content related to the development of nuclear capabilities.
The bottom line is that Hillary Clinton risked national security, and completely destroyed public accountability, for what she claims in her defense was a trifling matter of personal convenience. She’s not qualified to hold any position of trust whatsoever with such astoundingly poor judgment.
In her big news conference, Hillary Clinton peddled the astounding excuse that she thought two different smart phones would be required to check both State Department mail and her personal mail when she traveled, and carrying two phones was just too much trouble, so she found it easier to set up her own private mail server — endangering national security and evading transparency laws in the process.

State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf criticized a reporter for “fact-checking me live and instantaneously during my press briefing” on Friday. After Harf said “each individual employee has a responsibility under the federal regulations to preserve their own records, with
Friday at the State Department briefing, spokeswoman Marie Harf was quizzed by the press over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton exclusively emailing all official State Department business using her private email account with private servers maintained at her residence.
Hillary Clinton knew that her home-based email server violated the standards of the very sensitive department she headed. Yet she used it anyway, for four years. Reporters might want to ask why.
If history is any indication, we could be finally reading Hillary Clinton’s secretive personal emails sometime after the 2016 election. The law responsible for permitting the public to demand access to undisclosed information, the Freedom of Information Act, is a notorious bureaucratic snail.
The Hillary Clinton email scandal refuses to go away. New revelations about the rules and regulations in place during her tenure in office will seemingly make it harder to explain her choice to run a private email server from her home in New York rather than using a government account.
Thursday on ABCs “World News with David Muir,” chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl said a “senior state department official ” told ABC news former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was violating policy for all four years she served, because

The Associated Press is considering legal action to force the State Department to fulfill various Freedom of Information Requests, some as old as 2010, that have gone unfulfilled. The threat comes after a Congressional investigation of the Benghazi scandal found former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton conducted all of her official business at the State Department with a private email account hosted on a server inside her own home.
Who is America’s greatest national security threat at the present time?
Hillary Clinton gave the game away long before she set up her personal email account. In a 2001 video clip, then-Sen. Clinton explains she didn’t want to use email because it could cause trouble during investigations.
In 2001, when George W. Bush’s transition team began moving into the White House, they encountered a remarkable amount of sloppy housekeeping, missing items, and petty vandalism from the outgoing Clinton team.
Stage 2 of the Hillary email scandal has been achieved, as yesterday’s “confused old lady who didn’t understand how email works” defense utterly collapsed with the Associated Press’ discovery that Clinton’s mail server was located in her house and was registered under the name of a man who does not appear to exist.
According to a New York Post report, House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) will head a panel, joining the House Benghazi committee, to investigate whether former Secretary of State and likely 2016 Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton broke the law in using a personal email account for official business while Secretary of State.

Hillary Clinton set up her obfuscation.com email account the same day as her confirmation hearings to be Secretary of State began. She intended all along to use a personal email account rather than a government one, which effectively gives her control of the historical record.
So much for open government. Hillary Clinton admits she never used an official email account while she was Secretary of State. Instead, all her correspondence was through a personal account.
Among the many, many reasons why Americans hate and distrust the mainstream media, we’ve got the amazing spectacle of a major story directly impacting a likely presidential candidate — Hillary Clinton — completely blacked out in favor of obsessive coverage for llamas on the loose.
Former Texas Governor Rick Perry (R) said that State Department was “out of touch with reality” on Thursday’s “Kelly File” on the Fox News Channel. Regarding the debate over the terminology used to describe terrorism and John Kerry’s declaration that
The latest ISIS terror video is apparently running behind schedule—it was supposed to be released on Wednesday—but all indications are that it will include a threat to murder their Christian hostages, including women and children, if the bombing campaign against the Islamic State is not halted.
Daniel Rosen was arrested at his home in Washington, D.C., about noon Tuesday and was in custody at the D.C. jail Tuesday night, said Fairfax County, Virginia, Police Department spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell.
As if the State Department’s brainstorm to defeat ISIS with a jobs program for would-be jihadis was not funny enough, now they’ve put together a web site to crowdsource “solutions” to the “problem” of Generic Violent Extremism — not the problem most of us are worried about, but the one they feel comfortable talking about.
The University of Massachusetts Amherst has reversed its recently announced policy of banning foreign students from Iran who wish to enroll in advanced graduate courses with content related to the development of nuclear capabilities.

A State Department spokesperson hints the military won’t be able to defeat ISIS, but that a jobs program might.
The State Department spokesperson has the task of defending the president’s foreign policy more often than any other government official. During President Barack Obama’s first term, that unenviable task fell to the opaque Victoria Nuland, whose redeeming feature was that there was a spine behind the smokescreen. (“F*** the E.U.,” she famously said, albeit in private, on Russia and the Ukraine.) Not so with successors Jen Psaki and Marie Harf, the clueless defending the hopeless.
The State Department is confirming it has closed the U.S. Embassy in Yemen and evacuated its staff because of the political crisis and security concerns following the takeover of much of the country by Shiite rebels.
UPDATE: Psaki has since tweeted that the attack “was an anti-semitic attack that took the lives of innocent people.” We have always been clear that the attack on the kosher grocery store was an anti-semitic attack that took the lives
