We’re not supposed to be monitoring American citizens.

So apparently Mr. "shoots from the twitter hip" Trump was correct when he tweeted out that Obama was wiretapping him...

Former President Barack Obama’s national security adviser Susan Rice ordered U.S. spy agencies to produce “detailed spreadsheets” of legal phone calls involving Donald Trump and his aides when he was running for president, according to former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova.

“The overheard conversations involved no illegal activity by anybody of the Trump associates, or anyone they were speaking with,” diGenova said. “In short, the only apparent illegal activity was the unmasking of the people in the calls.”

“The lawyers and counsel at the NSA surely would be talking to the lawyers and members of counsel at CIA, or at the National Security Council or at the Director of National Intelligence or at the FBI,” he said. “It’s unbelievable of the level and degree of the administration to look for information on Donald Trump and his associates, his campaign team and his transition team. This is really, really serious stuff.”

Doran charged that potential serious crimes were undertaken because “this is a leaking of signal intelligence.”

“That’s a felony,” he told TheDCNF. “And you can get 10 years for that. It is a tremendous abuse of the system. We’re not supposed to be monitoring American citizens. Bigger than the crime, is the breach of public trust.”

So it seems that this big nothing-burger (as the Obama administration, the DNC, and the media have been telling everyone for weeks) is really stuffed with beef. There should be a full blown independent prosecutor investigation and everyone involved should be outed, fired, and serve jail time. The legal eagles involved should lose their licenses.

Democrats pulling this sort of stuff is so common place that it is "old news" before it is even reported, if and when the MSM decide to give it a couple of inches on page 34. Just another "dog bites man" story. Enough is enough. While this investigation is in progress, the Hillary Foundation, sorry Clinton Foundation needs to be investigated and we need to dust off the illegal email server probe and maybe reopen Benghazi and Fast n Furious while we are at it. Oh, and that Iran deal with the pallets of cash needs looking into too. Get to work guys!

Clinton Facts (as provided by Donald Trump)

Clinton and classified emails

Hillary has assured us time and time again that she did nothing wrong when she setup a private, insecure, off-the secure network, stand-alone email server for the use of her and her staff while she was Secretary of State.

She has assured us:

1. Other Secretary's of State have done this - lie
2. That this was not against State Department rules - lie
3. That the FBI is only doing a "security check / audit" and not a criminal investigation - lie
4. That at no time EVER did any classified or secret information pass through her server - LIE

In fact in yet ANOTHER example of how classified information traveled through her private, insecure server is this story run by Fox News (a good summary of the story can be found here).

The "funny" part of this is what the "Hillary fanboys" are saying about this additional revelation.

• It is being claimed that this email should have never been classified in the first place as it just has to do with scheduling an appointment.

• Sorry but that has NOTHING to do with it. The Secretary of State does not have unilateral power to declassify something that has been classified. She can not "just decide" that some information is "not that important".

• They are also saying that if you read the email, nothing in it looks like any kind of secret so again, no bit deal.

• Wrong AGAIN! Look that the email at the Fox link. Much of it at the bottom (the actual start of the email thread) has been redacted before being released by the Government. If that information was no big deal, it would not have been blanked out.

Hillary setup her own email server so as to allow her the freedom to conduct "business" (notice I did not say Government business) without the worry of FOIA requests or Government information audits. Also, don't forget, when asked for all of her private email server information, she had her lawyers review all of the email information and that which THEY deemed appropriate, was handed over to the Government IN PRINT. They did not even turn over the scrubbed information in electronic format. That would be yet another law she broke by allowing her lawyers (who had not been cleared to see secure Government information) access to that information for the purposes of "scrubbing" it.

Additionally:

The Times does note that “22 (of the emails) have now been classified by the State Department as “top secret,” 65 are classified as “secret”...

...on June 8, security experts told the Associated Press “At least 47 of the (Clinton) emails contain the notation “B3 CIA PERS/ORG,” which indicates the material referred to CIA personnel or matters related to the agency.

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) in the State Department report released in late May stands as one of recent history’s biggest victories for truth.

Clinton media strategists believe they can minimize the OIG report by doing two things: ignoring it or assuring us it doesn’t matter. In a week or so the strategists will begin employing the “it’s old news” shtick.

The OIG report totally discredits Clinton’s oft made claim that she didn’t do anything different from other former Secretaries of State.

Oh, but the OIG report demonstrates she did.

This is yet additional proof (if any were needed) that she should be kept as far from any Government power as is possible. How anyone can still try to defend her actions is deplorable and an indication of how sick the left in this country has become.

I am not saying that I approve of what Snowden did but he does highlight the hypocrisy of the left and those of the left that are in power. Also (in light of what has happened in Orlando)

P.S. Don't you think she looks tired?

Clinton and Laureate Education

By now everyone is aware of Donald Trump and his legal issues with "Trump University" but have you heard of Laureate Education? Likely not.

Laureate is a for-profit online college that received an unusually large amount of money from the U.S. State Department. This happened while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and after her husband Bill was named "honorary chancellor," a position that paid him $16.5 million over five years. His role included giving speeches around the world and lending his name to attract prospective students.

During the time, when Bill was acting as honorary chancellor, the U.S. State Department, under Secretary Clinton, gave Laureate Education a whopping $55 million in grants.

Like Trump University, Laureate Education has also been sued for fraud. Its Walden University Online subsidiary allegedly "worked like a scam designed to bilk students of tens of thousands of dollars for degrees," according to liberal professor Jonathan Turley, who recently documented the organization's ties to the Clintons.

So apparently much of the media is doing the usual and trying to ignore any Clinton "scandal" news.

Its March Madness! Make your picks!

So which scandal of the Obama administration do you think will be rated the worst? Fill in your forms early!

Hillary Clinton asks State Department to release her emails...

Hillary Clinton has asked the State Department to release her emails to try and end this "email scandal". My headline is one that a number of news organizations are running. It is actually a partial truth. To be completely true, the headline should read: Hillary Clinton asks State Department to Release all of the Emails She Gave Them. That is the issue. As this was a private server (apparently hosted in her residents), there is NO way for anyone to know what was on it AND that is the way that Hillary likes it. You can't FOIA what you don't know about or what State does not have.

Remember, this is not a government official occasionally sending work emails through their private account [though that is bad enough]. This is someone that sent 100% of all of their State Department work mail through their own, private email server. Every Single Person she sent official email to could see she was not using a government email account but no one officially raised any red flags?

She is now claiming she did not know she could not do this. She knew about it enough in at least 2007 when she leveled similar charges (using un-official email accounts) against the Bush administration.

WOW! Just WOW and this person wants to be President? WOW!

President Barack "Sgt. Schultz" Obama

Sgt. Schultz of Hogan's Heroes was famous for his "I hear nothing, I see nothing, I know nothing!" refrain and appears to be the guiding mentor of our current President, not Rev. Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright as you might have expected. It seems that President Obama and his handlers go to great lengths to give him plausible deniability for every government failure and scandal.

A partial list is available at Legal Insurrection and includes:

• Obamacare web site issues
• IRS targeting of non-liberal groups
• The Petraeus extramarital affair
• Benghazi

But also includes other gems like:

• Fast and Furious
• The AP taps
• GSA 2010 scandal
• Solyndra

There are others but you get the picture. This President has raised "not knowing" to an art form. You have to ask, if Obama really doesn't know anything about what is going on - who is really running the country?

NSA broke privacy rules thousands of times per year, audit finds

The National Security Agency has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the agency broad new powers in 2008, according to an internal audit and other top-secret documents.

The documents, provided earlier this summer to The Washington Post by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, include a level of detail and analysis that is not routinely shared with Congress or the special court that oversees surveillance.

So, Snowden is a traitor and should not be trusted but he exposed government corruption that we "the people" would not have known about any other way as the people that were supposed to be watching the people with this power, were lied to. What a shock! I wonder how soon those that broke the law will be brought to justice. I won't hold my breath.

P.S. I wonder if this still counts as one of those "phony scandals".

Hillary's latest strawman

At this rate one has to seriously wonder who's administration will be more scandal wracked, the first President Clinton's or the second.

The first put in a effort with TravelGate, White Water, Monica Lewinsky, etc. (here is a link to the entire hit parade) but it looks like Hillary is planning on showing that she is no slouch and plans to making a good showing...
