[WND] Government watchdog Judicial Watch revealed Friday it has obtained another 186 pages of documentation from the Justice Department regarding Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, and they show evidence of a cover-up of an FBI chart of possible violations by her.
"Judicial Watch caught the FBI in another cover-up to protect Hillary Clinton," said the organization’s president, Tom Fitton.
"These records show that the FBI is hiding a chart detailing possible violations of the law by Hillary Clinton and the supposed reasons she was not prosecuted."
Judicial Watch recently released hundreds of pages of records showing former FBI General Counsel James Baker discussed the investigation of Clinton-related emails on Anthony Weiner’s laptop with Clinton’s lawyer, David Kendall.
The latest cache of documents was obtained from the government through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed against the Department of Justice after it failed to respond to a 2017 FOIA request seeking all communications between fired FBI official Peter Strzok and his paramour, FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
It was District Judge Reggie B. Walton who ordered the FBI to begin processing some 13,000 pages of records that fall under the order.
Judicial Watch found, three days after then-FBI Director James Comey’s press conference announcing that he would not recommend a prosecution of Clinton, a July 8, 2016, an email chain showing that the special counsel to the FBI’s executive assistant director in charge of the National Security Branch told Strzok he was making a "chart of the statutory violations considered during the investigation [of Clinton’s private email system], and the reasons for the recommendation not to prosecute."

The press studiously ignores this. If you swap Republican for Democrat, and Trump for Clinton/Obama, they would be shouting this daily and incessantly about the corruption of the government by partisan political activists.

46 USC §56102(a)(4) makes it a crime to agree to build a boat for a non-citizen during a national emergency declared by the President, unless you agree you won't start building the boat until the national emergency is over or the Secretary of Transportation gives you permission.

...I suspected as soon as I read this what was actually going on, but I Googled it just to make sure - this was passed during the First Great Worldwide Unpleasantness to keep people from building ships (at exorbitant rates) for the belligerents - instead of building ships for Americans, so THEY could get the money for shipping the stuff over.

Not so ridiculous in this day of Mercenary Private Security Companies if you remember the Treaty of Washington(1871) and the "Alabama claims": "At Geneva, in 1872, the United States was awarded $15,500,000 pursuant to the terms of the treaty, and the British apologized for the destruction caused by the British-built Confederate ships, while admitting no guilt."
[WSJ] The 10-year questionnaire to U.S. residents is used to allocate government funding and reshape the number of congressional seats
WASHINGTON‐The Supreme Court announced Friday that it would move quickly to decide whether the Trump administration can ask U.S. residents on the 2020 census whether they are citizens, a case infused with time pressures and immigration politics.
The court’s announcement comes a month after a federal judge in Manhattan ruled Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross committed "egregious" legal violations when he moved to add the citizenship question to the census. The justices will review that decision, adding another chapter to the court’s interaction with Trump administration initiatives affecting immigrants.

What good is a census that doesn't tell the nation how many citizens it has? In Bizarro America, illegal invaders are more valued than it's citizens.

illegal invaders are more valued than it's citizens.
California would no doubt have considerably few Congressional representatives in the House if only the actual citizens among their population counted for the purpose.

If this goes against the citizenship every American should refuse to answer the census correctly. Make up your gender, race, ethnicity and number of people living in your household.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal promises to overhaul the U.S. energy sector and replace all fossil fuel use with clean, carbon-free energy in 10 years flat without destroying the U.S. economy in the process. That’s preposterous.
Regardless, the preposterous plan is grabbing public attention and, now, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he's going to hold a Senate vote on the 14-page resolution.
Beyond committed ideologues, few people think the freshman New York lawmaker’s plan (co-sponsored by Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass.) is a realistic outline of what the United States can or should do to address climate change.
But Ocasio-Cortez and at least three Democratic presidential candidates who have signed onto the proposed congressional resolution have bolted onto their central unrealistic promise another 55 promises with little or nothing to do with climate change.
Here’s a list of what they're going to provide and who they're going to help:
1) Guaranteed jobs for all
2) That will be high quality union jobs
3) Paying prevailing wages
4) Hiring local workers
5) That offer training and advancement
6) Wage and benefit parity
7) Family leave
8) Medical leave
9) Paid vacation
10) Retirement security
11) Economic security
12) With strengthened unions
13) Stronger safety regulations
14) Stronger health regulations
15) Tougher anti-discrimination rules
16) More stringent wage and hour standards
17) Ending wage stagnation
18) Increasing socio-economic mobility
19) Reducing income inequality
20) Narrowing the racial wealth gap
21) And the gender earnings gap
22) While trade deals add rules to protect the environment and labor
23) The transfer of jobs overseas is stopped
24) Domestic manufacturing grows
25) Businesses don’t face unfair competition
26) Ensuring economic development
27) While diversifying business and industry in local and regional economies
28) While eliminating pollution
29) Cleaning up existing hazardous waste and abandoned sites
30) Providing education, including higher education, to all
31) While boosting community resiliency
32) Fighting racial injustice
33) Fighting social injustice
34) And generally making things better for indigenous peoples

It's gonna be a workers paradise. And as long as they pretend to pay us, we'll pretend to work.

"No unicorns?"
*Heh!* This is way, way beyond unicorns... This is giving every person their own private sky castle floating on the clouds and a non-polluting, environmentally friendly™ pegasus (with a silky mane and tail, no less!) to commute from it.

If everyone is guaranteed a job, why the emphasis on hiring and training local workers? Seems like a stipulation that will force people to work in the local job pool and restrict the ability to relocate to a more suitable/better locale for one’s talents and desires. I’ve read about and seen this kind of shit before.
P. S.
I got the gist and quit reading after #10 or 11.
[Free Beacaon] New York senator and Democratic presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand signaled Friday she's open to removing existing sections of the border wall, as her potential 2020 rival Beto O'Rourke suggested.
O'Rourke, a former Texas congressman who led an unsuccessful Senate campaign last year, was asked Thursday if he would support taking down the existing border wall in his home city of El Paso. "Absolutely, I'd take the wall down," he told MSNBC's Chris Hayes.
The next day Gillibrand was asked by a reporter during a New Hampshire campaign stop whether she agreed with O'Rourke's comments.
[Breitbart] Friday on MSNBC’s "All In," Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) called on Americans to protest across the country to send President Donald Trump a message that his declaration of a national emergency on the U.S.-Mexico border is "fake."
Waters said, "I really expect we’re going to have a growing number of Republicans that are going to join with us in this disapproval. Yes, they’re concerned if a Democratic president gets elected then they can use emergency powers to do a lot of the things they don’t like. As you know, they don’t believe in climate change. They don’t want us to talk about Medicare for all or any of those subjects they think we’ll spend too much government money, even though they’ve created the largest debt we’ve seen in government for many many years."
She continued, "I’ve been talking about impeachment for a long time. I’m absolutely stunned and amazed that the American people have taken so much off of this president. This president has lied, I think it’s been documented, 8,000 times in the last two years. This president has committed obstruction of justice right before our very eyes. And if we could ever get Manafort to tell the truth, then we will find they conspired to get Trump elected so sanctions could be lifted off of Russia. President Obama created sanctions, placed them on Russia, because of their invasion, basically in Crimea, and they can’t drill into the Arctic, do some of these things they want to do. They don’t have the equipment. Our allies are working with us to honor the sanctions, and that’s what this is all about. The Americans have taken too much off of this president. He is dishonorable. He does not deserve to be president of the United States. As a matter of fact, he loves Putin, dictators, loves Kim Jong-un, talking about they’re in love now."
She added, "And so it’s time for everybody to stand up. All hands on deck to refuse this president these fake emergency powers that he would like the have. And so I’m urging everybody get together ‐rally in every community across this country all this weekend, send a message to Washington, D.C., ’No, Mr. President, we’re not going allow you to do this."

Trump made a mistake: If he'd just done an executive order that said "No more Coachella festival until the wall is built," We'd have a wall the whole way around Mexico and central and south America like yesterday...

You have to understand that when Maxine says 'rallies' she means 'Antifa riots'.
#5
And if Antifa does right, declare an emergency and send in the Marines as riot police. I'm sure many Marines are 'eager' to share their feelings about Antifa attacking their fellow Marines. ROE is "NO lawyers allowed, civilian or Military, no dead innocent civilians, Antifa are considered terrorists and insurrectionists."
And you thought only Blackface Gov Northam could Moonwalk?
[NY Post] Andrew McCabe on Friday denied that he knew of an effort to oust President Trump using the 25th Amendment, saying he never had "any extended discussions" about the matter and was unaware of such talks. But he knows enough to write a book he's currently pimping? Sorry, that only works for Hildabeast
"At no time did Mr. McCabe participate in any extended discussions about the use of the 25th Amendment, nor is he aware of any such discussions," his spokeswoman, Melissa Schwartz, said in a statement on Twitter, adding that his remarks about the issue were taken out of context. She said McCabe "was present and participated in a discussion that included a comment by Deputy Attorney General [Rod] Rosenstein regarding the 25th Amendment."
But, she added, "Mr. McCabe has merely confirmed a discussion that was initially reported elsewhere."
CBS reporter Scott Pelley, who interviewed McCabe for Sunday's "60 Minutes," said Thursday that McCabe told him using the 25th Amendment was discussed and that officials were "counting noses" ‐ or speculating on who might support such an endeavor.
"There were meetings at the Justice Department at which it was discussed whether the vice president and a majority of the cabinet could be brought together to remove the president of the United States under the 25th Amendment," Pelley said.
"And the highest levels of American law enforcement were trying to figure out what to do with the president."
In the interview, McCabe also confirmed that he took Rosenstein's offer to wear a wire when meeting with Trump in the White House so seriously that he discussed the idea with agency lawyers.
A previous report said that Rosenstein made the crack sarcastically.

Mussolini's fate would be appropriate for Comey, McCabe, and the rest of the cabal that attempted to plan a coup, as well as covered up Holder, Obama and Clinton's felonies.

[HOT AIR] How did Donald Trump get Mitch McConnell to sign off on an emergency declaration? After all, McConnell had initially warned Trump that it would precipitate a civil war in the GOP and that Trump might well lose a vote to sustain it. By yesterday, though, McConnell ended up with the task of announcing the decision to the world on the Senate floor. Quite a journey indeed from Cocaine Mitch.
That doesn’t make him enthusiastic about it, former House Intel chair Mike Rogers told CNN this morning. The retired Republican congressman said it looked like McConnell was being forced to eat a "manure sandwich" in order to avoid a second shutdown:
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
