More Hillary corruption emerges. It turns out that when she was Secretary of State, Clinton gave an advisor gig (on nuclear security, no less) to a donor whose only experience was in high-frequency trading.

http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/clinton-d...d=39710624

Quote: Newly released State Department emails help reveal how a major Clinton Foundation donor was placed on a sensitive government intelligence advisory board even though he had no obvious experience in the field, a decision that appeared to baffle the department’s professional staff.

The emails further reveal how, after inquiries from ABC News, the Clinton staff sought to “protect the name” of the Secretary, “stall” the ABC News reporter and ultimately accept the resignation of the donor just two days later.

Copies of dozens of internal emails were provided to ABC News by the conservative political group Citizens United, which obtained them under the Freedom of Information Act after more the two years of litigation with the government.

A prolific fundraiser for Democratic candidates and contributor to the Clinton Foundation, who later traveled with Bill Clinton on a trip to Africa, Rajiv K. Fernando’s only known qualification for a seat on the International Security Advisory Board (ISAB) was his technological know-how. The Chicago securities trader, who specialized in electronic investing, sat alongside an august collection of nuclear scientists, former cabinet secretaries and members of Congress to advise Hillary Clinton on the use of tactical nuclear weapons and on other crucial arms control issues.

“We had no idea who he was,” one board member told ABC News.

Fernando’s lack of any known background in nuclear security caught the attention of several board members, and when ABC News first contacted the State Department in August 2011 seeking a copy of his resume, the emails show that confusion ensued among the career government officials who work with the advisory panel.

“I have spoken to [State Department official and ISAB Executive Director Richard Hartman] privately, and it appears there is much more to this story that we’re unaware of,” wrote Jamie Mannina, the press aide who fielded the ABC News request. “We must protect the Secretary’s and Under Secretary’s name, as well as the integrity of the Board. I think it’s important to get down to the bottom of this before there’s any response.

“As you can see from the attached, it’s natural to ask how he got onto the board when compared to the rest of the esteemed list of members,” Mannina wrote, referring to an attachment that was not included in the recent document release.

Fernando himself would not answer questions from ABC News in 2011 about what qualified him for a seat on the board or led to his appointment. When ABC News finally caught up with Fernando at the 2012 Democratic convention, he became upset and said he was "not at liberty" to speak about it. Security threatened to have the ABC News reporter arrested.

Fernando's expertise appeared to be in the arena of high-frequency trading -- a form of computer-generated stock trading. At the time of his appointment, he headed a firm, Chopper Trading, that was a leader in that field.

Fernando's history of campaign giving dated back at least to 2003 and was prolific -- and almost exclusively to Democrats. He was an early supporter of Hillary Clinton's 2008 bid for president, giving maximum contributions to her campaign, and to HillPAC, in 2007 and 2008. He also served as a fundraising bundler for Clinton, gathering more than $100,000 from others for her White House bid. After Barack Obama bested Clinton for the 2008 nomination, Fernando became a major fundraiser for the Obama campaign. Prior to his State Department appointment, Fernando had given between $100,000 and $250,000 to the William J. Clinton Foundation, and another $30,000 to a political advocacy group, WomenCount, that indirectly helped Hillary Clinton retire her lingering 2008 campaign debts by renting her campaign email list.

The appointment qualified Fernando for one of the highest levels of top secret access, the emails show. Among those with whom Fernando served on the International Security Advisory Board was David A. Kay, the former head of the Iraq Survey Group and United Nations Chief Weapons Inspector; Lt. Gen. Brent Scowcroft, a former National Security Advisor to two presidents; two former congressmen; and former Sen. Chuck Robb. William Perry, the former Secretary of Defense, chaired the panel.

“It is certainly a serious, knowledgeable and experienced group of experts,” said Bruce Blair, a Princeton professor whose principal research covers the technical and policy steps on the path toward the verifiable elimination of nuclear weapons. “Much of the focus has been on questions of nuclear stability and the risks of nuclear weapons use by Russia and Pakistan.”

The newly released emails reveal that after ABC News started asking questions in August 2011, a State Department official who worked with the advisory board couldn’t immediately come up with a justification for Fernando serving on the panel. His and other emails make repeated references to “S”; ABC News has been told this is a common way to refer to the Secretary of State.

“The true answer is simply that S staff (Cheryl Mills) added him,” wrote Wade Boese, who was Chief of Staff for the Office of the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, in an email to Mannina, the press aide. “Raj was not on the list sent to S; he was added at their insistence.”

The donor resigned two days later. He's still giving to Hillary.

Quote: And he continued to donate to Democrats, and to Clinton. He emerged as one of the first “bundlers” to raise money for Clinton’s 2016 bid. And in July 2015, he hosted a fundraiser for Clinton at his Chicago home. Fernando has also continued to donate to the Clinton Foundation. He now is listed on the charity’s website as having given between $1 million and $5 million.

About six months after Fernando resigned from the State Department advisory board, he was invited to attend a White House State Dinner, honoring the British Prime Minister. And this summer Fernando will serve as a super delegate at the Democratic National Convention. According to Chicago media reports, he has committed to supporting Clinton.

This wasn't some cushy, meaningless title, like ambassador to Monaco. This was a position that involved top-secret information about nuclear weapons. And Hillary sold it to a campaign donor.

Yes. bring it on, because Trump's grassroots supporters are already destroying everyone in that arena. It's a battle that Trump has won and ended, too little too late Hillary.

Saudi Arabia has funded 20% of Crooked Hillary's Campaign!

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-06-13...nce-claims

[Image: screenshot_0.jpg]

As a reminder, It is illegal in the United States for foreign countries to try to influence the outcome of elections by funding candidates. That appears not to have stopped the Saudis, however.

“Saudi Arabia always has sponsored both Republican and Democratic Party of America and in America current election also provide with full enthusiasm 20 percent of the cost of Hillary Clinton’s election even though some events in the country don’t have a positive look to support the king of a woman (sic) for presidency,” the report quoted Prince Mohammed as having said.

According to the US Federal Election commission, over the past two years Clinton has raised a little more than $211.8 million. 20% of this sum is $42.4 million.

The report was published (and then mysteriously deleted) on the eve of Prince Mohammed making an official visit to the United States. The Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday that the senior royal was due to fly to Washington where he will meet officials to discuss US-Saudi ties.

He will remain in the American capital until 16 June, when he will travel to New York for meetings with financial companies, the Saudi Gazette reported.

Prince Mohammed will discuss regional issues with American officials, and he will hold talks with the financial companies about his vision for diversifying Saudi Arabia’s economy away from oil dependency.

Links between Saudi Arabia and the Clinton family, including with Hillary’s campaign, are well reported. In 2008, it was revealed that the Gulf kingdom had donated between $10m and $25m to the Clinton Foundation, a charity set up by Hillary’s husband and former US President Bill Clinton.

Last year the Centre for Studies and Media Affairs at the Saudi Royal Court paid public relations firm the Podesta Group $200,000 for a month-long project to provide “public relations services”.

The Podesta Group was founded in 1988 by brothers John and Tony Podesta. John Podesta is the chair of Hillary Clinton’s campaign to become the next US president.

Finally, in connection to the Orlando shooting, the WSJ reported that according to a spokesman for Saudi Arabia’s interior ministry, the Orlando shooter, Omar Mateen visited the kingdom twice on pilgrimage.

Mateen visited Saudi Arabia in 2011 and again in 2012 to perform umrah, a religious pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. The trips lasted eight and 10 days each.

U.S. and Saudi officials aren’t sure yet who Mr. Mateen met with during his visits or whether the trips were connected to the shooting.

In addition to Damien's post, I'd also like to point out that Hillary said she doesn't want those with ongoing FBI investigations to be able buy weapons, so why should someone with ongoing FBI investigation be allowed to run for President?

Woman is pure evil, every time she talks she lies.

WikiLeaks to publish more Hillary Clinton emails - Julian Assange

Quote:Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, has said his organisation is preparing to publish more emails Hillary Clinton sent and received while US secretary of state.

Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is under FBI investigation to determine whether she broke federal law by using her private email in sending classified information. A new WikiLeaks release of Clinton emails is likely to fan a controversy that has bedevilled her campaign and provide further ammunition for Donald Trump, her Republican presidential rival, who has used the issue to attack her.

Assange’s comments came in an interview on ITV’s Peston on Sunday. “We have upcoming leaks in relation to Hillary Clinton … We have emails pending publication, that is correct,” Assange said.He did not specify when or how many emails would be published.

WikiLeaks launched a searchable archive in March of 30,322 emails and email attachments sent to and from Clinton’s private email server while she was secretary of state. The 50,547 pages of documents are from 30 June 2010 to 12 August 2014, and 7,570 of the documents were sent by Clinton, who served as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

Assange, a trenchant Clinton critic, said she was receiving constant personal updates on his situation. The WikiLeaks founder has been confined to the Ecuadorian embassy in London since July 2012, when he sought asylum to avoid extradition. Assange is wanted in Sweden over allegations of rape dating from 2010, which he denies, but he has not been charged.

A Stockholm district court upheld an arrest warrant against the Australian last month, saying there was still “probable cause for suspicion” against him.

Assange said it was highly unlikely that the US attorney general, Loretta Lynch, would indict Clinton. “She’s not going to indict Hillary Clinton, that’s not possible. It’s not going to happen. But the FBI can push for concessions from a Clinton government,” he said.

He has attacked Clinton as a “liberal war hawk”, claiming that WikiLeaks had published emails showing her to be the leading champion in office to push for the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, despite Pentagon reluctance.

“They predicted that the postwar outcome would be something like it is … she has a long history of being a liberal war hawk,” he said.

He also accused Google last week of helping Clinton in her presidential campaign, lumping together two of his bugbears.

Google “is intensely aligned with US exceptionalism” and its employees will likely be rewarded if Clinton wins the presidential election come November, Assange told an international media forum in Moscow.

His attacks on Clinton may be dismissed as highly partial, but the email controversy continues to dog her. An internal report last month found she had broken several government rules by using a private server rather than more secure official communication systems.

The 78-page investigation by the inspector general of the state department singled out several previously unknown breaches while Clinton was secretary of state, including the use of mobile devices to conduct official business without checking whether they posed a security risk.

Now there is an angle I hadn't considered, another reason to keep Clinton out of the Presidency. Because it brings with it the rattle of chains of a long-dead ghost.

What Assange is in essence saying is that if Clinton is elected the FBI will be able to blackmail her into "concessions" -- which can be assumed as a disproportionate budget, reduced oversight, or increased powers given it's the FBI and a government bureaucracy involved.

If that happens, it won't be the first time in history that the FBI has managed to put a President on a leash. Nixon came the closest to admitting being blackmailed: he is on record as having refused to fire J. Edgar Hoover because he was afraid of reprisals from Hoover. Harry Truman railed that Hoover was turning the FBI into a Gestapo ... but he wouldn't fire him for "political reasons". And JFK, who arguably could keep his dick even less in his pants than Bill Clinton, also refused to fire him.

From everything I've heard and read about James Comey it doesn't sound like he would blackmail or use leverage for personal gain or more power. He sounds like a straight arrow Ned Stark type of guy. He will recommend indictment in the coming weeks. What the AG does is a coin flip and it's too hard for me to guess either way.

Obviously I hope she does the right thing and indicts Clinton but rumor has it that Obama has already told the AG to not indict so that he can avoid involvement in the scandal.

If the AG doesn't indict I believe there will be resignations across the board in the FBI and there will be leaks that show that they recommended indictment. I expect to hear an answer in the next two weeks.

Even without the FBI investigation there is Assange, the Russians, possibly anonymous saying they will leak the emails. On top of that there are 38 civil cases to get those emails into the public domain (though I won't hold my breath to give us the unfiltered emails before the end of the election).

The point is, even without indictment, this constant drip of email scandal is seriously hurting Clinton politically and would work in Trump's favor than if he was up against someone like Biden who is squeaky clean.

Trump has reddit, the whole 4chan army and online supporters making memes for free, The_Donald has become a top subreddit on reddit despite the liberal mindset of reddit.

If this think they can win against 4chan on a meme war they are very wrong.

More Creepy Hillary and/or possibly Bill.

Anyone remember the super hot bitch, Elisha Cuthbert? She's got a strange Hillary Connection

[Image: Elisha-Cuthbert-Facebook.jpg]

Well, my kid was watching old netflix today and it turns out when she was young she was the host of some kids show. Not only did I notice this...but so did Hillary Clinton back in the 1990s.

What did Hillary do when she noticed this 16 year old canadian, on a canada based kids show do? Personally invited her to the mother fucking white house. She invited a canadian kids show host to the white house. She didn't invite the other host of the show, just Elisha....Someone interviewed Elisha about it a long time ago

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/...s-cat.html

Quote:When I went to the White House, all I wanted to do was meet the President’s cat.
I was invited by Hillary Clinton when I was 16 because of the children’s show I was doing at the time (Popular Mechanics For Kids). It was considered the most educational show in the world at that point. Hillary was in charge of educational programming, so she was really excited about what we were doing. It was a great experience, and to this day she invites me to all her charity events. I’m still on the list, which is cool. My job opens the door to some weird, life-altering experiences.

"weird, life altering experiences?!" As Carl the cuck would say "Are you kidding me?!" With Hillary's suspicious lesbianism and Bill's "lolita express" allegations I can imagine they were weird and life altering.

Hillary and Bill Bona-a-fide deviants.

PS. In case you were wondering...the wall has hit. She's gone from smoking hot, to chubby cute at age 33...of course after she got married. This forum preaches the truth on women.
