Hillary Clinton “wants voters to believe that her private email server scandal is old news, but every month brings new evidence that she put state secrets at risk in order to hide her emails from the public,” notes a Journal editorial. “The slow public release of new emails commanded by a judge, combined with an expanding FBI probe, may be making Democratic voters wonder if they should nominate such an ethically challenged nominee.” This would explain why Vermont socialist Bernie Sanders is getting a second wind in recent polls.

“The latest cache hit Friday when the State Department released 1,262 more of Mrs. Clinton’s emails. That dump contained another 66 emails deemed classified, which means State has now discovered some 1,340 instances of the nation’s top diplomat handling sensitive material on an unsecure server—including spy satellite information and the name of at least one confidential CIA source. Given that we know Mrs. Clinton’s server was the target of attempted hacks, this is grossly negligent behavior,” writes the editorial board. Included in the latest document dump was “evidence of the former Secretary of State instructing an aide to ignore security procedures.”

I am wondering why I havent heard you be happy that the iranians handed over the ten US sailors that drifted into iranian waters.

A. because kerry told his Iranian counterpart this could be turned into a good story for both countries.

Manipulating the news doesn't impress me much. But I"m glad they're back. I wonder if we get the boats back.

In a new video at Fox News [oh no comrades, fox news!], Judge Andrew Napolitano suggests that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has begun a new investigation of Hillary Clinton, in addition to the ongoing investigation of if she as secretary of state in the Obama administration failed to safeguard United States government secrets. This new investigation centers on whether Clinton illegally made decisions in the State Department “to favor her husband’s foundation or her husband’s speaking gigs.”...

In the video, Napolitano, who is a member of the Ron Paul Institute’s Advisory Board, says that the case against Clinton for failure to safeguard US government secrets has “gotten stronger” in recent weeks. In particular, Napolitano mentions the disclosure of two “smoking guns” emails from Clinton that respectively tell subordinates to send secret information via unsecured means and to strip the secret classification marking from a document before sending it to her.

Napolitano concludes that “the FBI will soon make a recommendation to the Justice Department about whether or not [Clinton] should be indicted.” This would be consistent with Napolitano’s suggestion back in August that the Justice Department may announce criminal charges against Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, on the eve of the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire Primary.

The federal criminal investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s failure to secure state secrets was ratcheted up earlier this week, and at the same time, the existence of a parallel criminal investigation of another aspect of her behavior was made known. This is the second publicly revealed expansion of the FBI’s investigations in two months.

I have argued for two months that Clinton’s legal woes are either grave or worse than grave. That argument has been based on the hard, now public evidence of her failure to safeguard national security secrets and the known manner in which the Department of Justice addresses these failures.

One of the top-secret emails she received and forwarded contained a photo taken from an American satellite of the North Korean nuclear facility that detonated a device just last week. Because Clinton failed to safeguard that email, she exposed to hackers and thus to the North Koreans the time, place and manner of American surveillance of them. This type of data is in the highest category of protected secrets...

Last weekend, the State Department released two smoking guns — each an email from Clinton to a State Department subordinate. One instructed a subordinate who was having difficulty getting a document to Clinton that she had not seen by using a secure State Department fax machine to use an insecure fax machine. The other instructed another subordinate to remove the “confidential” or “secret” designation from a document Clinton had not seen before sending it to her. These two emails show a pattern of behavior utterly heedless of the profound responsibilities of the secretary of state, repugnant to her sworn agreement to safeguard state secrets, and criminal at their essence.

Also this past weekend, my Fox News [oh no comrades, more fox news! maybe they are even telling me what to think!!] colleagues Katherine Herridge and Pamela Browne learned from government sources that the FBI is investigating whether Clinton made any decisions as secretary of state to benefit her family foundation or her husband’s speaking engagements. If so, this would be profound public corruption.

This investigation was probably provoked by several teams of independent researchers — some of whom are financial experts and have published their work — who have been investigating the Clinton Foundation for a few years. They have amassed a treasure-trove of documents demonstrating fraud and irregularities in fundraising and expenditures, and they have shown a pattern of favorable State Department treatment of foreign entities coinciding with donations by those entities to the Clinton Foundation and their engaging former President Bill Clinton to give speeches.

There are now more than 100 FBI agents investigating Hillary Clinton. Her denial that she is at the core of their work is political claptrap with no connection to reality. It is inconceivable that the FBI would send such vast resources in the present dangerous era on a wild-goose chase.

It is the consensus of many of us who monitor government behavior that the FBI will recommend indictment...

If the FBI recommends indictment and the attorney general declines to do so, expect Saturday Night Massacre-like leaks of draft indictments, whistleblower revelations and litigation, and FBI resignations, led by the fiercely independent and intellectually honest FBI Director James Comey himself.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's staff pushed back against suggestions that she drop use of her private email server and use a state.gov address instead, The Daily Caller reports.

According to emails obtained by the Caller through a Freedom of Information Act request, State Department Executive Secretary Stephen D. Mull made the suggestion in August 2011 when Clinton's private server was having trouble staying online...

The emails show that State Department officials, including Under Secretary for Management Patrick Kennedy, were fully aware Clinton was using a private server, the Caller's Chuck Ross writes.

"We are working to provide the Secretary per her request a Department issued BlackBerry to replaced her personal unit which is malfunctioning," Mull wrote in the exchange, saying that the malfunction was "possibly because of [sic] her personal email server is down."

Mull offered Clinton two BlackBerrys, one of which would have "an operating State Department email account." He also said the State account "would mask her identity" but "would also be subject to FOIA requests."

Huma Abedin, one of Clinton's longtime aides, replied that the suggestion "doesn’t make a whole lot of sense."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Some of the classified emails found on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's home server were even more sensitive than top secret, according to an inspector general for the intelligence community.

Inspector General Charles I. McCullough sent a letter to lawmakers last Friday saying that several dozen additional classified emails have been found, including ones containing information from so-called "special access programs." Intelligence officials say special access programs have a higher classification than top secret because they are about highly sensitive programs and could reveal sources of information.

Former New York City Mayor and U.S. Attorney Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday he doesn't think there is any way Hillary Clinton should be able to avoid facing an indictment for the "secretive and highly classified" government information found on the private email server she used while secretary of state.

"[There are] 13 violations of federal law that she arguably committed," Giuliani told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program. "This is about as clear as it gets. It is a crime to negligently handle top secret material."

"They treated it — in the case of Petraeus — as a major crime, and his actions are a hundredth of hers," said Giuliani. "She misrepresented about it. She's lied about it. She said she had no top secret material. It's absurd."

And as Clinton "destroyed 34,000 emails," Giuliani said that he would have argued, as a prosecutor, "that's evidence of a guilty knowledge . . . the destruction is evidence of guilty knowledge, evidentiary principle that you can use against someone when they're in a situation where who knows what's on those 34,000 e-mails."

In addition, Giuliani pointed out, the FBI has opened a second investigation into the Clinton Foundation, which he would find "really worrying" if he were her attorney.
