    Isnt congress controlled by the republicans? Do you think maybe they could do something?

    Regarding contempt of congress its difficult without the support of the Justice Department.  Of course anything they do they are criticized for it.

    I think she should be put before a firing squad. However, it appears these Clintons can do whatever they want and get away with it.

    :good:  Including Billy riding on a plane to a secret island a number of times with a known pedophile.  :nuts:

    So congress, who has maintained that she has lied about everything from Benghazi to the email scandal to everything else... COULD have instructed to investigate perjury charges for the last 3 years but didnt and now that the FBI and AG have decided NOT to charge they are going to go ahead and pursue perjury charges? Yeah... I'm missing the point... :nuts:

    I havent voted for an establishment candidate since 2000. Thats what I have done...

    Whoosh!

    Congress didn't know her testimony to the FBI until yesterday.

  4. :nuts:

    Gowdy: “Secretary Clinton said there was nothing marked classified on her emails, either sent or received. Is that true?”

    Comey: “That’s not true, there were a small number of portion markings on, I think, three of the documents.”

    Gowdy:”Secretary Clinton said, ‘I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email, there is no classified material.’ Was that true?”

    Comey: “There was classified material emailed.”

    Gowdy: “Secretary Clinton said she used just one device. Was that true?”

    Comey: “She used multiple devices during the four years of her term as secretary of state.”

    Gowdy: “Secretary Clinton said all work-related emails were returned to the State Department. Was that true?”

    Comey: “No, we found work-related emails, thousands, that were not returned.”

    I'm all for open carry, but that isn't the place to do it. Only a complete moron would go to a large gathering like that strapped with an AR

    Which guys? 

    The shooters.   Just going off how they used elevated triangulated fire and what not.  Lot's of information to come out but that's what the news reports this morning were saying.   Hope not but and anyone could set it up that way but it looks like they knew what they were doing.  

  6. FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress Thursday that Hillary Clinton lied when she said that she neither sent nor received classified material. And that nothing was marked classified on the emails on her server. And that she lied when she said her server was not hacked. And that she lied when she said that she turned over all her work-related emails to the State Department. 

    All these lies where spoken in media interviews on virtually every news show in the country.

    They were also repeated before Congress in her sworn testimony during the Benghazi hearings.

    Asked why he did not recommend prosecution for perjury, Comey answered that he did not have a referral and that he needed one to investigate further. Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, said he would send a referral over in a matter of "hours."

    Now, maybe we've finally got her. 

    The Justice Department has decided not to indict her for mishandling of classified material. But how about lying under oath to Congress?

    The FBI will find it hard not to recommend prosecution. The facts are evident and clear.

    If the Justice Department won't prosecute this clear instance of perjury, their partisanship will be on display. And the decision will have been made following an FBI recommendation, but most likely opposing it.

    Lying under oath seems to run in the Clinton family. Maybe it is contagious.

    She is a liar, no doubt. There is no shortage of footage of her saying one thing and then later saying another. The FBI and the AG have basically absolved her. What is your recourse?

    You are missing the point.   Comey said they cannot look into the perjury charges or contempt of Congress unless instructed by congress which they will do.    

    My recourse?   Support a candidate most likely to defeat her.   How about yours?

  8. Lets be clear, I have no confidence in the FBI or Justice Department after what they proved Hillary did yet did not file charges however, what people seemed to have missed is that Comey basically admitted that there is another investigation into the Clinton foundation.  Makes Bill's meeting with the AG even more suspicious.  

     

  9. Just now, Anler said:

    Your going to compare and FBI investigation to a presidential election? What is the recourse here? ANOTHER investigation? The FBI has already reviewed all of the evidence. The AG isnt going to press charges. What is the point? As I have said, this points to character. People need to understand that political cronyism needs to end and if you just keep on voting for "party" this is what we get. Having them investigate themselves AGAIN isnt going to produce anything.

    Neither investigated the fact she perjured herself to congress.  Reality is that is a big deal.

    Just calling it the way I see it playing out, Comey gave the Republicans a gift on Tuesday in that the average bear could have made there own mind up as to what they thought of Clinton's trustworthiness (we know that the opinion on that was low to begin with) but instead they are going to push it to the point that people will become numb to it and a certain percentage of the indy vote will percieve it as bullying.

    If I'm looking at this as a political strategist I'm going to run ads using Comey's face and words and deliver the message in subtle way that average person will grasp it and understand it, I'm certainly not going to have men in a leadership position walking point on this as there nothing to gain but much to lose. 

    Think about this Moe, all this grandstanding and declarations of who should get security briefings only gins up folks like you, Elky, racer, etc., and no one on the Dem side gives a rats ass what you folks think because you're going to vote for Trump irregardless, the name of the game is win the indy vote and that minority vote..especially that 44% Hispanic vote that Republicans feel is the magic number to win the WH.

    So justice should be ignored?   Nice.

    Sad when the POTUS perpetrates these same lies and misinformation.

    And people on here refuse to understand how divisive he is.  :nuts:  Hispanics and Latino's should understand when he is talking about people being afraid because of the "color of their skin" he is not talking about them.  Never will you see him going on TV talking about cops and Latino's.

    Hero Marine Nailed for Secret Email: What Did He Do That Hillary Didn’t?

    Clinton could still become president after her email scandal, but a decorated Marine is being forced out over one classified report he sent to avert a disaster.

    No matter how much classified material is found in her personal email server, Hillary Clinton will no doubt continue campaigning to become our next president.

    Meanwhile, a decorated Marine officer who has deployed four times faces being discharged from the corps he loves because he used his personal email to send a single classified report as an urgent warning when lives were at stake.

    The stateside message from Marine Reserves Major Jason Brezler to Forward Operating Base Delhi in Now Zad, Helmand Province, Afghanistan, went unheeded. Three young Marines were shot to death as they worked out in a gym by an Afghan teen brought on the base by the same corrupt and double-dealing pedophile police chief whom Brezler had declared to be an immediate threat.

    Yet the only person to be investigated in connection with the killings is Brezler, the Marine who sought to prevent them.

    To compound the injustice, the two generals who ruled against Brezler based their decision on a Board of Inquiry transcript whose 451 pages contain 1,548 sections marked “[inaudible].” And those gaps are accompanied by an astonishing number of errors.

    One witness who was critical to the defense reported that he found 47 mistakes in his testimony and could have found more but the “incredible number of ‘inaudible’ and outright errors was so great that I did not correct ones where I had no idea what was said exactly.”

    Other witnesses said much the same, with one declaring himself “disgusted with the transcript,” adding that the “record is so bad I can barely make out what I was saying and it’s my testimony.”

    Brezler’s last hope is that Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus will set the decision aside. Mabus certainly has considerable reason to do so beyond the rank injustice of the proceedings.

  13. There needs to be an HONEST discussion around cop shootings.  Inflammatory rhetoric from the President of the US does not help.

    http://www.dailywire.com/news/7264/5-statistics-you-need-know-about-cops-killing-aaron-bandler

    1. Cops killed nearly twice as many whites as blacks in 2015. According to data compiled by The Washington Post, 50 percent of the victims of fatal police shootings were white, while 26 percent were black. The majority of these victims had a gun or "were armed or otherwise threatening the officer with potentially lethal force," according to MacDonald in a speech at Hillsdale College.

    Some may argue that these statistics are evidence of racist treatment toward blacks, since whites consist of 62 percent of the population and blacks make up 12 percent of the population. But as MacDonald writes in The Wall Street Journal, 2009 statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics reveal that blacks were charged with 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults in the 75 biggest counties in the country, despite only comprising roughly 15 percent of the population in these counties.

    "Such a concentration of criminal violence in minority communities means that officers will be disproportionately confronting armed and often resisting suspects in those communities, raising officers’ own risk of using lethal force," writes MacDonald.

    MacDonald also pointed out in her Hillsdale speech that blacks "commit 75 percent of all shootings, 70 percent of all robberies, and 66 percent of all violent crime" in New York City, even though they consist of 23 percent of the city's population.

    "The black violent crime rate would actually predict that more than 26 percent of police victims would be black," MacDonald said. "Officer use of force will occur where the police interact most often with violent criminals, armed suspects, and those resisting arrest, and that is in black neighborhoods."

    2. More whites and Hispanics die from police homicides than blacks. According to MacDonald, 12 percent of white and Hispanic homicide deaths were due to police officers, while only four percent of black homicide deaths were the result of police officers.

    "If we’re going to have a 'Lives Matter' anti-police movement, it would be more appropriately named "White and Hispanic Lives Matter,'" said MacDonald in her Hillsdale speech.

    3. The Post's data does show that unarmed black men are more likely to die by the gun of a cop than an unarmed white man...but this does not tell the whole story. In August 2015, the ratio was seven-to-one of unarmed black men dying from police gunshots compared to unarmed white men; the ratio was six-to-one by the end of 2015. But MacDonald points out in The Marshall Project that looking at the details of the actual incidents that occurred paints a different picture:

    The “unarmed” label is literally accurate, but it frequently fails to convey highly-charged policing situations. In a number of cases, if the victim ended up being unarmed, it was certainly not for lack of trying. At least five black victims had reportedly tried to grab the officer’s gun, or had been beating the cop with his own equipment. Some were shot from an accidental discharge triggered by their own assault on the officer. And two individuals included in the Post’s “unarmed black victims” category were struck by stray bullets aimed at someone else in justified cop shootings. If the victims were not the intended targets, then racism could have played no role in their deaths.

    In one of those unintended cases, an undercover cop from the New York Police Department was conducting a gun sting in Mount Vernon, just north of New York City. One of the gun traffickers jumped into the cop’s car, stuck a pistol to his head, grabbed $2,400 and fled. The officer gave chase and opened fire after the thief again pointed his gun at him. Two of the officer’s bullets accidentally hit a 61-year-old bystander, killing him. That older man happened to be black, but his race had nothing to do with his tragic death. In the other collateral damage case, Virginia Beach, Virginia, officers approached a car parked at a convenience store that had a homicide suspect in the passenger seat. The suspect opened fire, sending a bullet through an officer’s shirt. The cops returned fire, killing their assailant as well as a woman in the driver’s seat. That woman entered the Post’s database without qualification as an “unarmed black victim” of police fire.

    MacDonald examines a number of other instances, including unarmed black men in San Diego, CA and Prince George's County, MD attempting to reach for a gun in a police officer's holster. In the San Diego case, the unarmed black man actually "jumped the officer" and assaulted him, and the cop shot the man since he was "fearing for his life." MacDonald also notes that there was an instance in 2015 where "three officers were killed with their own guns, which the suspects had wrestled from them."

    4. Black and Hispanic police officers are more likely to fire a gun at blacks than white officers. This is according to a Department of Justice report in 2015 about the Philadelphia Police Department, and is further confirmed that by a study conducted University of Pennsylvania criminologist Gary Ridgeway in 2015 that determined black cops were 3.3 times more likely to fire a gun than other cops at a crime scene. 

    5. Blacks are more likely to kill cops than be killed by cops. This is according to FBI data, which also found that 40 percent of cop killers are black. According to MacDonald, the police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black than a cop killing an unarmed black person.

    Despite the facts, the anti-police rhetoric of Black Lives Matter and their leftist sympathizers have resulted in what MacDonald calls the "Ferguson Effect," as murders have spiked by 17 percent among the 50 biggest cities in the U.S. as a result of cops being more reluctant to police neighborhoods out of fear of being labeled as racists. Additionally, there have been over twice as many cops victimized by fatal shootings in the first three months of 2016.

    Anti-police rhetoric has deadly consequences.

     

  14. I thought libs think of snipers as cowards?

    Want to know what bad ass is.   Do some reading on Carlos Hathcock.

    During a volunteer mission days before the end of his first deployment, he crawled over 1,500 yards of field to shoot a high-ranking NVA officer.[19] He was not informed of the details of the mission until he accepted it.[15] This effort took four days and three nights, without sleep, of constant inch-by-inch crawling.[19] Hathcock said he was almost stepped on as he lay camouflaged with grass and vegetation in a meadow shortly after sunset.[2] At one point he was nearly bitten by a bamboo viper, but had the presence of mind to avoid moving and giving up his position.[19] As the officer exited his encampment, Hathcock fired a single shot that struck the officer in the chest, killing him

    It seems odd to me that Obama still does not understand his role as President.

    He seems to be stuck in this community organizer, pseudo preacher role.

    He goes into the same old divisive shtick, and then follows it up with a dismissive jab at police  officers .

    " I get bundles of mail from police officers every time this happens saying, I'm making it worse, and putting their lives at risk"   

    How narcissist can one man be , not to think there just might be something to claims from thousands of police officers .

    This is what happens when you have a bunch of liberal college professors running the country.   Hope America is satisfied.
