Huma is AWOL, Harry Reid is a hypocritical pimp

Here comes another of my unbiased, genteel essays. If you believe that, then you believe Hillary.

I read earlier this evening an interesting piece in the EU News, I believe, sorry no link, explaining why Weasel Comey reopened the Medusa inquiry. That said, he had a two purpose action. If Medusa wins, then Comey will look like a good guy, trying to do the right thing as judge by the American people--because we all know the going through 665,000 emails won't be accomplished any faster than walking to London from NYC without a ship. So there is this "presumption" of another "investigation", foreordained to lead to nothing. The other alleged Comey motive is to save his own ass if Trump wins. Why? You have two guesses. Okay, you don't need any guesses. The reason is that Comey, Lynch, Clinton will all be going to jail along with Huma, Cheryl, Podesta, Pagliano, Blumenthal, Slick Willie, and Hillary's hairdresser.

So this time the Dumbocrats can't blame the Russkies. They can't blame Assange. They can't blame the RNC. So, who's left. If you said HRC, you were correct.

Now most of us who have a memory better than Medusa will remember her self-proclaimed vindication, claiming the FBI found she did nothing wrong. While we Progressives and the Republicrats were furious about this sham. Remember how the Dimocrats whooped and hollered (especially at GOS) about Hillary's undeserved persecution leading to a nothing burger? Robby Mook and the other twits at Camp Clinton raised the voices to cheer Mr. Comey and his brand of justice.

Whoops! 665,000 emails, of which only 100,000 were of Weiner's wiener, showed up on Huma's home computer. That leaves over a half-million emails, presumably about hair appointments, yoga routines, and praising Hillary's home decorating skills.

This invasion of privacy has been loudly condemned by Podesta, Mook and other Hillshills even though the emails were on Huma's computer. Mr. Danger, however is reportedly cooperating with the Famously Bribed Investigators, in help them sort through the library of malfeasance (both his and the Missus). Hence no warrant is needed.

Huma brings tears to Hillary's eyes. If so, Huma's "life insurance" didn't do her much good.

How about hapless Harry Reid? You know, that guy who oversaw Hillary's decisive "win" in Nevada--yeah, that guy! He is now officially a lame duck as well as a lame brain. He took umbrage (remember Hillbots will take anything they can get) at Mr. Comey's reinstitution of persecution of poor Hillary. The outrage occurs at about 11:00 into the video. The rest of the video is pretty interesting as well. But the point is that everything Reid says about Comey's actions against the Mad Bomber could be 100% turned around to be used in the case of not indicting her.

The next video link is of alleged Obama's recent interference in this latest investigation
I am not aware of any confirmation of this allegation but it certainly wouldn't surprise me.

Finally, I leave you with this video by Lionel Nation, a curmudgeonly fellow who is interesting. He does tend to ramble a bit but this video is very funny:

doesn't mean he believes it. He knows it plays well with the brain-dead. I was going to comment on your question, "who do they have left to blame", by saying, "obviously, Comey." This from Reid just confirms that.

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

It's what they do, divert attention from the issue by 1) discrediting the leading figure (Comey) and 2) coming up with their own scandalous allegation not based on fact, which the media are all too happy to spread

Can we just cancel the election, disqualify the two and try again next year? Maybe Jilll will have more time to spread the word as well, thus improving her numbers.

It is a quite frequent trend with them going back decades.

I have never been so disgusted or angry over a politician in my entire life and that includes Bush the Lessor!

I can give Bush the benefit of a doubt because I can see it is quite likely he was just a dumbass frat boy puppet that had Darth Cheney's hand up his ass so far all he had to do was waggle his fingers to make Bush's jaw move.

Clinton I know for certain is evil, beyond any shadow of a doubt.

The long history of incredibly convenient suicides, car crashes and plane explosions is just too god damn blatantly obvious one wonders how ANYONE couldn't see it. (Unless that is they have a vested interest in not seeing.)

If hubby had been a normal guy who doesn't engage in virtual sex with minors, the emails never would have been found.

I mean really, shouldn't they have tried the yawn, ho-hum response first? "The FBI director simply told the Committees that the FBI has discovered some previously overlooked emails on a device that Huma forgot had access to her emails. We're sure that nothing of any import will be discovered."

By moving so quickly to Dems yelling and screaming and calling for Comey to step, down, resign ,be impeached, or be arrested leads one to believe that they may know in advance that this nothingburger has "the works" - all the lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, onions and secret dressing that have been missing so far.

I've seen the pushback for Comey come off pretty well this morning, mostly along the lines of "imagine Hillary gets elected and THEN the public finds out that the FBI was sitting on a trove of 650,000 previously unexplored emails. Then the Trumpers really could go off the rails about election rigging and take to the streets."

Why are the Clintonites so nervous?

This was theirs, and queuing up the media to promote the three amigos-- Trump, Cruz and Carson-- was a cornerstone of the scam. Problem was, they didn't count on Bernie, and they didn't count on the email scandal.
Now, their house is on fire and Trump really isn't supposed to win.
The American people are watching a complete meltdown of the corrupt politics we've snoozed to, for over 30 years.
In my humble opinion, we should let it burn, while building a new political infrastructure. That may be working w/ the Greens; that may be working w/ a brand new party; or both. Either way, I think Americans of every stripe should turn away from the smoldering ashes of the corrupt and ineffectual duopoly and focus their attention and energy on a new way forward.
I also think we need to make a more concerted outreach to Trump supporters, most of whom are embracing him because of economic reasons.

Flashback: Bill Clinton cheered 11th hour indictment that doomed Bush re-election

Whispers of "payback" are being directed at Hillary Clinton after she decried as "unprecedented" the surprise FBI revival of its probe of her email scandal.

That's because 24 years ago, as former President George H.W. Bush was surging back against challenger Bill Clinton, a special prosecutor raised new charges against Bush in the Iran-Contra probe, prompting Clinton to claim he was running against a "culture of corruption."

Many Republicans claimed that the indictment made by special prosecutor Lawrence Walsh against former Reagan-era Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger the weekend before the 1992 election cost Bush a second term.

[SNIP]

When it came, Clinton seized on it, saying for example, "Secretary Weinberger's note clearly shows that President Bush has not been telling the truth when he says he was out of the loop." Clinton added, "It demonstrates that President Bush knew and approved of President Reagan's secret deal to swap arms for hostages."

"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."--Napoleon

Cant Stop the Macedonian Signal's picture

elections is ridiculous. Is there a basis for believing a person to have committed a crime? Then investigate them, and prosecute if you find enough evidence to warrant it. Are they a political candidate? Too bad; maybe their party shouldn't have chosen to nominate someone likely to come under criminal investigation.

What are we saying, otherwise: that it's OK with us to elect criminals? That we should protect criminals from being investigated or charged if they're running for office? Because...politicians are special people and should get special treatment? Or why?

What if the FBI abuses that power and brings charges that aren't warranted, to tarnish the image of someone running for office and influence the election unduly? Well, that's supposed to be the business of the 4th estate. The press is supposed to handle that, by telling the truth and putting the FBI on a hot spot for misusing their power, and making the case for the innocence of the candidate. It wouldn't be very hard for the press to use their power that way--if they felt like it.

The problem here is that we have corrupt, wretched excuses for political parties, and a corrupt, wretched excuse for a press. Our legal justice system ain't too great either, and I'm not a fan of Mr. Comey, but blaming him for doing his job--or, more accurately, trying to create the impression he's doing his job--seems beside the point.

have already influenced this election by ordering the FBI to limit the scope of the original investigation and then by Comey reinterpreting the law as to "intent."

The people of the United States have every right to know about these things before we vote. Otherwise, suppression of evidence contributes to the Potemkin quality of our elections. I am f*cking sick of certain political elites receiving elitist treatment not available to the rest of us serfs. Every damn one of us would have been charged with espionage and would be sitting in jail for what Clinton and her subordinates did.

There was clearly new evidence and he was obligated to inform congress. He did not say that HRC was guilty of anything. In fact, the letter is not accusatory in any way. He just said that there was pertinent new evidence that should be investigated. In this instance, he was just doing his job. Trump, predictably, greeted the announcement with absurd hyperbole. The interesting thing is the overreaction by Clintonistas including Lynch. If Clinton was innocent of any wrongdoing, one would have expected the reaction to be that it was good that they found the emails, because they will show that there has been no wrongdoing.

I had a guy come to my door yesterday to get out the vote. He was for Democrats. He is a former government worker with a security clearance, and I too had a clearance at one time. My opinion is that it isn't the classified that is the real pertinent issue, but the pay for play, the arms sales, and the fact that the DNC says to Bernie supporters that we simply should have known the DNC would be in the tank for Shillary. But I asked him, when do we as a people stand up and say this IS NOT acceptable? Why is it OK because "they all do it"? He had no answer for that, and while I like to hope I planted maybe a small seed of doubt, I don't really believe that.

That is what we're up against - Oh well, they ALL do it, and Repugnants do it too, so its all OK. Never mind the coming wars, the poverty, the violence, nope, just go on about your life and be happy, happy, happy, and give up all that negativity you keep insisting on focusing on. So what if you've seen how bad they all are, just go shopping and forget about it...

I did make sure to tell him by ballot is already gone, and I voted for Stein.

Edit - I really should have asked that guy though, what if he or I had done what Shillary did with classified? He wouldn't have that clearance anymore, nor a job. But it is OK if she does it?

Bill Clinton had to fight his way through real debates in a real primary with the likes of Jerry Brown and a bunch of other real candidates, and a relatively neutral DNC and media (as far as treating all Democrats fairly). Bill Clinton had a lot of help from Ross Perot in the general election, but I think he won that one fairly. Unfortunately he went on to destroy whatever idealism and integrity existed in the Democratic Party structure, allowing Hillary to "win" this primary in a less than honest way.

Reports of Huma trying to get immunity for FBI testimony (must be ok'd by DOJ) - from her same flock of insiders that... well this whole thing just blows my mind. I can't even begin to unravel the loops and twists that might come out of such a rumor. Begging for immunity from your own cadre of co-criminals when it seems so apparent that a good "throwing under the bus" seems in store. But, but if the results of looking through those emails results in uncovering more than yoga appointments, wedding plans and lamp choices - then what? Back to the Clinton's? I need a logic truth table to unravel this stuff... It looks like we may actually get a "Saturday night massacre" like back in the Nixon days - Archibald Cox and everything! Hold on to your seats my political junkies, the ride is JUST beginning...

Huma was already granted limited immunity in exchange for turning over her laptop to the FBI. This was part of the story that indicated the FBI agreed to destroy her laptop after their review. Unfortunately for Huma, that won't save her from lying to the FBI if they find additional emails on Wieners computer. She has apparently already stated that she has no idea how those emails ever got to that laptop.

I'm going out on a limb here... but just suppose the Anthony set up his laptop as if it were one of Huma's and all of Huma's emails were automatically being synced on his laptop? That laptop may contain every email Huma ever sent or received with no deletions!

Let me crawl a little further out on this limb... My gut feeling about this whole last hour revelations by Comey is a final warning to Hillary. The warning goes something like this...

"Dear Hillary, I'm sorry, but with the information we have already seen on Anthony Wiener's computer, there is nothing more the FBI can do to protect you. The evidence is so great and too many agents are aware of the contents to hide it any further. Good luck!" I have to agree with the Chicago Tribune editorial. For the good of the country Hillary, you need to step down and withdraw from the presidential race.

..I feel you're close to the center of gravity that we can all feel right now. Comey was thought to be neutered, safely on the shelf. but he saw something that slapped him awake and he acted. It is clear (as clear as anything in this nighttime fishing trip) that the big actors have been blindsided and do not have appropriate lies at the ready, thus the yelling and mis direction. I feel, and hope, that the Big Ship Clinton has finally hit one of the icebergs head on this time. Hillary's screaming at people to VOTE NOW! Pretty much says it all.

minutes before all this broke a few nights ago, so I missed all of the immediate conversation. The next morning, I had a car rented for the day and only had time to check my email and catch the headlines before I had to leave when I saw the news about the letter from Comey. I didn't have time to read any of the stories but wanted to get a feel for how big a story this really was so I brought up the front page from GOS to see if it was being discussed. When I saw that the rec list was composed of 10 out of 12 stories about Comey, I knew this was a big story. Their heads were exploding over there. The diary titles gave me all the news I needed to keep a smile on face all day until I got back and could sit down and savor the details. The next morning it was still 10 out of 12!! The denial over there is 1000's of feet deep right now!!!

which was dependent upon her releasing ALL materials under her control to the FBI in furtherance of their sham investigation. Since she is married to Mr. Danger (and he is proving very dangerous to Hellery as well as underaged girls), community property means that whatever is on that computer devolves into her "possession" or potential potential possession--you know, just like the bag of heroin underneath the driver's seat of your husband's car which you just happen to be driving.

Comey's letter was a shot across the bow. "Drop out or be completely ruined by what we've found."

Of course, the Clintons have fired back with both barrels and Democrats are yet again embarrassing themselves by defending them using ridiculous counterattacks: Hatch Act; Russia; Trump.

The Democrats deserve the humiliation that's coming their way.

This was letting her know what's going to happen next and was also a warning to those around her. Should she still win the election, I fully believe she will be indicted before she can be inaugurated. I think were heading for a constitution crisis. A pardon from Obama won't be able to fix this.

'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member

Lol, if 'the good of the country' was a factor in anything Hillary aimed to achieve, she wouldn't have done that endless, continuous stream of damaging/hazardous stuff in order to come up with the Clinton's 110 million dollar annual income and the power to impoverish/terrorize/dispossess millions - and to kill people and enjoy their agony and terror freely whenever she gets to see it.

She also wouldn't have been pushing traitorous corporate coups disguised as 'trade deals' in order to sell her own country, democracy and country-men off to hostile outside forces, along with a whole bunch of others.

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.

My first thought when the media reported that Huma was AWOL, was that she was in the witness protection program. If there are incriminating e-mails on the laptop, and it brings HRC down, I fear that Huma could be in future danger.

Another thought occurred to me: would there be any way that Weiner had copied the e-mails as HIS life insurance? And maybe she really didn't know they were there.

She has been Hillary's right hand person for almost 20 years, and the secrets she must know would be mind boggling.

Watch and see if the campaign starts to discredit her...then we'll know she really does have the goods!

She would have needed to log in to Anthony's computer at least once to set up a new account in order for emails to continually appear on his computer. Everyone who has set up a new Outlook client on a computer knows that once you log into a new device the device sync's up all he accumulated emails from that account including "Outlook Cabinets" - so all emails that Huma had on her virtual account at the server in question (could have been her state.gov, hillaryclinton.com or gmail login / or all the above we don't know).

I suspect the real goodies would be on the hillaryclinton.com domain. I suppose it depends on how the FBI asked the question - your device or any device you maintain an account?

I'm thinking that since the hillaryclinton.com domain login that Huma used did not have a network user's home folder email archive that she created a home folder email archive on the home computer to act as a backup for ALL emails and thus the little box dutifully saved damned near everything for a very long, long time. The 650K of emails seems extreme to keep on a single drive but with the newer tera-byte drives, who knows?

use Anthony's computer. She only needed to set that up once to pick up her mail and ever since then, every time Anthony turned it on, it downloaded all new emails. He probably wondered why his machine was so slow when it started up. I find this whole thing hilarious. I've seen some people do some really stupid things with their email and had no idea how they were exposing themselves.

Now we just have to wait to find out what those 650k emails contain. All we need right now is for the FBI to find one with classified information that wasn't turned over previously and the game is over. Over for Huma and over for Hillary. In Hillary's case it's just a question of when she finally has to pay the piper. Is it before the election or after impeachment hearings begin?

is that this was intentionally being done by Anthony so he could keep tabs on what Huma was doing while she was away. And she was away a lot! Obviously, their marriage had a few issues! While spying on hos wife, he might have just inadvertently cataloged every email she ever had. Oooops!! And supposedly he is cooperating with FBI. Whichever way it goes, Huma's got some explaining to do! Hope she likes the color orange!
