It's unprecedented--and it's deeply troubling.

You know what else is unprecedented and deeply troubling, Your Roil Highness?

DINOs like you, your husband and Al From hijacking the Democratic Party, leaving some of the worst policies of Republicans permanently unopposed--or espoused--and giving Democrats all over the country midterm election results like those of 1994, 2010 and 2014. And doing the same in several European nations.

A First "Lady" taking two years to comply with a subpoena, then having documents just turn up mysteriously--in the family dining room of the White House, where nobody, including the Secret Service, saw nutthin'!

Setting up a re-election campaign war room in the White House (though I'm guessing Bush and Obama did not dismantle it), as though the White House were private Clinton property, rather than property of all taxpayers.

Using the Lincoln Bedroom, what should be holy ground in this country, for sleep overs for big campaign donors.

A President's former business partner willing to take a sentence of eighteen months in jail for contempt of court, rather than answer three questions about the President's business dealings (and getting a partial Presidential pardon from a member of a family that seems to have no concept of propriety. Probably another first, but I'm not sure--a President's giving a pardon to someone who went to jail rather than testify truthfully about him!)

A sitting U.S. President's lying to a Grand Jury on national TV, after he lied to his Cabinet privately and wagged his finger while he lied to all of America and the rest of the world on national TV.

Impeachment of a U.S. President, other than this guy:

Impeachment of a President in which Exhibit A was his DNA. (To high school history teachers all over the U.S.: I feel your pain.)

A sitting President being disbarred by the state of which he was once AG and Governor.

A former First Lady trying to take credit for the Kennedy-Hatch SCHIP bill, which was necessitated in the first instance by the awful mess you made, including with members of your own Party, with your right-wing health care bill.

A U.S. President being in debt (for legal defense fees) when leaving office to having hundreds of millions of dollars in annual income within seven years, mostly from influence peddling--then doubling his "speaking" fee when his wife becomes Secretary of State because somehow her new position made his speeches twice as good.

Lying about believing George Bush 43. Lying about so many other things, too. Even Trump polls better on honesty than you. And probably deserves to!

A Democrat's running a xenophobic, racist and Islamophobic Presidential primary campaign against another Democrat. Not to mention making up stories to pretend you had foreign policy cred and being so delusional as to imagine you would not be caught.

A Cabinet Secretary and a Once and Future Presidential Hopeful laughing on television about dropping bombs and the cruel murder of a head of state. Middle Easterners, meh, amirite?

A Cabinet Secretary and a Once and Future Presidential Hopeful maintaining her own servers for official government business and recklessly doing only heaven knows what with classified information.

A former Cabinet Secretary and a Once and Future Presidential Hopeful taking two years to comply with an FOIA request and arranging to have her servers wiped before she even partially complies.

A former Cabinet Secretary and a Once and Future Presidential Hopeful being under investigation by the FBI of a President from his or her own political party, when a special prosecutor obviously should have been appointed. But, that's on Obama and Lynch, right?

The lawyer/spouse of a former Cabinet Secretary and a Once and Future Presidential Hopeful chatting up the Attorney General of the United States on airport tarmac shortly before the AG would otherwise have made a prosecution decision about his wife.

The Attorney General of the United States recusing herself from making a prosecution decision regarding a former Cabinet Secretary and a Once and Future Presidential Hopeful and punting the prosecution decision to the head of the FBI (to your benefit, so no worries about "unprecedented" then, right?).

The head of the FBI publicly announcing the results of an FBI investigation (in your favor, so no worries about "unprecedented" then, right?)

The head of the FBI making a prosecution recommendation (in your favor, so no worries about "unprecedented" then, right?)

The head of the FBI, a graduate of one of the finest law schools in the nation, misstating criminal intent so that he could falsely claim that you lacked criminal intent.

The head of the FBI falsely claiming no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute, thereby taking the AG off the hook, while at the same time saying any other suspect would have been prosecuted (to your benefit, so no worries about "unprecedented" then, right?). So much for much of the Bill of Rights and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, yet Comey did not get fired by the Equal Protection law lecturer! Inexplicable that!

A member of the Secret Service believing he needs to protect the nation from a former First Lady. http://caucus99percent.com/comment/199061#comment-199061

The degree of hypocrisy, corruption, dishonesty and entitlement that you exhibit--and have been indulged in by almost every elected official, Democratic, Republican or Libertarian. Too bad you are taking down with you the reputations of so many others.

Your droning loudly and imperiously that voters deserve "full and complete facts" broke every irony meter on the planet. Probably on several planets. We won't know until we get there.

Your never-ending supply of victim cards, excuses and rationalizations and falseness.

I have not come near mentioning everything.

All of the above is totally unprecedented--and it's deeply troubling.

Here's a big FYI for you and your apologists: Richard M. Nixon was never convicted of a thing and Al Capone was never convicted of anything other than income tax evasion. Nonetheless, everyone knows what they were.

And now, some free advice that will stand you in good stead if only you heed it:

Don’t say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary.

Social Aims, Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1875.

Ok, now we can have a field day with this from Wikileaks. The Clinton Foundation tax return 2013. My main interest has been the fraud perpetuated against the Haitian people after the Earthquake. All of us in Dominica have Haitian refugee friends and acquaintances. Heck, in Portsmouth (Dominica) on weekdays the Haitian women are the ones that make it possible to buy local produce. strong, hard-working women.

I have the file on harddrive but this has a direct link:

https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/5a5f7r/wikileaks_clinton_fo...

Check Page 10 for all the bloody details.

For example here is the total annual expenses as reported:
$84,684,494.
Here is the amount spent for fundraising:
$ 8,006,421.
Here is the amount for Grants and other assistance to governments, organizations, and individuals outside the United States.
$3,410,919
Here is the amount for salaries (the tip of the iceberg btw)
$ 21,798,525
And for Travel:
$ 8,448,502.
And for Haitian relief:
$ 3,835,872

We know from a pro Clinton Foundation WaPo article "debunking" the Haitian protests in NYC that "The Clinton Foundation raised at least more than $30 million for Haiti relief projects.", and I have seen other estimates up to $50 million and more. Not the billions, that was funds mismanaged bu Clinton and Bush in a seperate scandal.

One major point is that these funds have never been audited.

The $26 to $46 million, if we look at the way funds are spent probably went to salaries, travel expenses, conferences for billionaires to rub shoulders and the like.

Can we imagine for awhile that these funds had gone directly to the Haitian communities effected? Allowing the communities to work together to rebuild their lives? I can and I am enraged that anyone from the Caribbean can make excuses for this behavior on the part of the Clinton Gang of fraudulent money launderers.

I live in a rural area, though. The polling place is about 10 miles away. Sometimes, during early voting, I've been the only one there. On voting day, I've still seen one or two of about 6 machines vacant.

I just thought of something. Since I've been so vocal in text, on phone, and online about despising that nasty woman, I might be better off voting early in case I'm given shit at the polling place. They scan our drivers license. I can see me being given shit and denied voting. I should go tomorrow! Then I can go back if need be. Of course, if I've been wiped from registration system, like Damnit Janet, I'm screwed!

Why is everyone so sure that Jill can't win on votes this election against the most despised and hazard set of corporate party candidates ever? And that those refusing to say who they voted for must be voting for the billionaire liar and contract-breaker out for his own profit and power - with his own just-like-Hillary far-right, anti-abortion, pro-war, pro-TPP corporate coup VP?

It had the best cast that Hollywood's British contingent could muster, from veteran C. Aubrey Smith to newcomer David Niven, and of course including the ever-delectable Ronald Colman (he of the mellifluous voice and sad-puppy eyes).

There's also a charming story about Douglas Fairbanks Jr. (previously a drawingroom-comedy lightweight) being offered the part of Rupert of Hentzau and going to his father, Douglas Fairbanks Sr. (who single-handedly wrote the book on how to play swashbucklers onscreen), to ask him if he should do it. Sr. told him it was bulletproof and even Lassie would be a hit in it. Jr. took the part, and thus stepped into his father's oversize Musketeer boots. Smile

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

Actually safeguarding 'National Security' regards dealing with potential/actual threats, not with keeping essential public information secret from that public, to whom the country and government, including such agencies as the FBI, belong.

The claim about 'influencing the election' is actually a statement that the voting public should not have any information regarding any potential criminals they may otherwise elect to public office out of fostered ignorance, through such information being concealed by a public agency entrusted with preventing/ameliorating such hazards as will damage/destroy the security of the public, government and country.

How far gone does a rotten banana republic have to be before that theory holds water with any actual voters?
