Shaun King Asks Hillary's Lawyer, David Kendall, a Question
Remember when David Shuster tweeted this?
Sources: @HillaryClinton lawyer D. Kendall has reminded @FBI Clinton is under NO legal obligation to give interview. #clintonemails
— David Shuster (@DavidShuster) May 31, 2016
Well, Shaun King of the New York Daily News contacted David Kendall, Hillary's lawyer, to ask if what Shuster tweeted was true. Here is the response King received:
I just emailed Hillary's attorney, David Kendall, to ask if this is true. He said "no comment." https://t.co/JSEEukBWUy

No comment? Well, whatever you have to do to prevent your client from being indicted, a lawyer has to do. Just another day at the office for David Kendall. Esq., attorney for the (alleged) presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party.

Hillary is innocent until proven guilty
It is important that we can tell our kids: 'Marry well, grab all the dirty cash you can, and lawyer up hard, and you too can be (candidate for) president one day.'
Due process! As with drone victims & commando raid victims. n/t
And super predators brought to heel
As in being gunned or beaten down, suffocated, having their necks broken in transit, or having medical issues ignored until death while in custody.
She Has Been
The IG report not only showed she was guilty but that she also lied and tried to cover it up
You mean
"Hillary is innocent even after proven guilty".

Snowden's tweet nailed it
Break classification rules for the public's benefit, and you could be exiled.
Do it for personal benefit, and you could be President.

...money trail...
I wonder how many of her speaking fees it'll take to pay her attorney's fees?
I wonder what will happen to her campaign funds once she has to drop out?
I wonder whether the funds from foreign governments will have to be returned by the Foundation after Hillary's trial?
Surely they will set up a separate slush fund
for 'legal defense'. A lot of her best donors will go from buying influence to buying silence. Once things start breaking down, they will get a second round of donations from what insiders refer to as 'the blackmail wave'.
Money moves in smaller spheres
mostly out of the grasp of the 99%. It's like a club. Carlin would agree.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
Apparently there isn't a money trail
For those foreign government's donations to the Clinton foundation, so I don't think that they will have to refund them.
There has been articles written that say that the Clintons might be brought up on RICO charges because of all the shady business deals that people who donated to their foundation.
And I have no idea why Obama didn't put a stop to the pay for play that was going on between Bill, the state department and the Clinton foundation.
He told Hillary that Sidney Bluementhal wasn't to be hired by the state department, but she paid him $120,000 a year to work on her foundation.
He sent her classified emails from Libya about business deals that would profit the foundation.
From Haiti, Honduras, Libya and Ukraine, the state department was involved in business deals that the foundation profited from. That's a yuge conflict of interest and I'm sure that if it was a republican SOS that were doing those things that the Hillary supporters would find that very troubling. But since it's Hillary that did those things, they are looking the other way.
It's just so damned mind boggling what they are willing to overlook.
Oh and BTW, there is no FBI investigation going on.
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
There's supposed to be.

I wonder...
... just how much fucking TIME will be spent by an otherwise do-nothing congress indicting, impeaching, and otherwise obstructing -- for four years straight -- this albatross around the Democratic Party's neck! (And that's if she wins!)
I think
1. about 2% (she's made that much)
2. I think she gets to keep it, but I could be wrong.
3. Surely you jest!
On to Biden since 1973
No wonder he left (or was asked to leave) TOP.
How dare he! Off with his head!
There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know.
Would’ve been interesting to have been a fly on the wall
hearing those discussions. When Shaun started, it seemed as if the expectation was that he would be a second Denise Oliver Velez.
How is it...
that both Mills and Shyster are her lawyers. I knew the deal with Mills, her SOS aide, as attorney allowed Mills to use privilege to keep mum. It seems like the court should say sorry you already have another lawyer, Mills must testify. I guess that would be in the alternative universe where there is justice.
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
this also begs another question in the same vein
How can Mills be on the government payroll as her chief of staff and also be on Clinton's private payroll as her attorney. Is there not some sort of conflict of interest here? I would have thought government rules would have prevented something like this.
Do I hear the sound of guillotines being constructed?
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." ~ President John F. Kennedy
Mill's claim
is that she started working as Hillary's attorney after Hillary left office. That's why she cannot speak about anything she "allegedly" learned after becoming Hillary's attorney. Mills cannot raise attorney client privilege for what she knew or did while working at the State Department. Thus, the reason for all the "I don't recall" answers to questions posed to her at her Judicial Watch deposition.
Kendall was hired I believe last August to represent Hillary in the email probe specifically.

Mills wasn't "hired" to repesent Hillary
regarding the FBI investigation. People like Hillary often have more than one attorney for different legal issues.
Mills was allegedly hired to represent Hillary after she left the State Department, in particular to deal with the FOIA requests and Benghazi committee subpoenas for document to which the State Department was required to respond. Mills was in charge of choosing which emails from Hillary's server had to be turned over to State. Or so the story goes.

The deleted emails
If it's true that the FBI was able to recover some of the deletes, from off of the server back-ups or the cloud or whatever, and if some of those deletes were official government business or classified, I would think that would cause some uneasiness in the Clinton campaign.
The latest stuff I'm reading from admittedly right-wing sources like Fox and National Review (mainly because the MSM isn't reporting at all) is that the IG report is very very bad for HRC because it establishes authoritatively that her server was an unknown and unapproved and unauthorized non-secure repository of government records, some of it classified. This seems borne out by the fact that even before the IG report the FBI seized the server and make Kendall put his thumb drive in a safe. They are writing that IG is basically serving up the predicate required for an indictment for National Security violations of unauthorized storage. The IG report blew all of Hillary's assertions about "it was permitted" completely out of the water.

Guccifer said they should ask the Russians for deleted emails
...he's sure they have them. I don't know whether to be more scared or more amused by his comment. The idea of potentially having a president for whom Putin is holding something over her head is truly appalling.

Unless overwritten, anything deleted is recoverable
The data are just basically invisible (for lack of a better word) but the space they took up is still populated by them unless and until some new data are placed in the slot filled by the old data. Hope that makes sense.
It's why the best way to ensure no one will ever know what is on your computer is to shred the hard drive(s).
FBI most definitely could've recovered the deleted emails unless something else was saved over the spots they once occupied.
At some point
the 99% will realize that the .1% need to be taken down several notches. Until then, we are nothing but victims, slaves and pawns.
But I don't think Americans have it in them, anymore, to rise up. We are peasants with lots of expensive toys and trinkets. Dumbed down by large and small scree gadgets. We're nummer oneeee.
"Love One Another" ~ George Harrison
I think that is entirely accurate. Up to a point.
And I think that point may be coming to a head sooner than we think.
Once people can no longer afford, or see that they will soon no longer be able to afford all our fancy gadgets and conveniences, let alone adequate food and shelter, then the unrest will go from words to violence.
It has been a repeated pattern throughout human history.
The hubris of those at the top that think, "Ahhh, that stuff won't happen again, we got the peons firmly under control." will continue to think that.
Right up until the look outside their bubble and see the mobs with torches and pitchforks. Unfortunately for all parties, by that time it will be far to late for either side to back off most likely.
I hate to sound so pessimistic, but if we don't manage to force them to fix at least some of the injustices and inequalities we are facing as a society blood will flow in the streets.
I don't think many want that, but at a certain point what other option is there?

Agreed. Especially with climate-change flood/fires at our doors
The 1% have drifted into a cloud of ignorance and assumptions about "the masses." We have actually become educated and strong from the American democratic system and years of freedom. And, we are angry. We will not go down easily.

You are more optimistic than my spouse
He's ex-military. He knows exactly what the 'police" are gearing up for with each and every protest he saw me go to that go more and more robo-cop. Hell my burbia has two military assault vehicles... that we know of. WTF is that needed for? For us. When the people finally say, "ballots or bullets. Voices or violence."
I'm not advocating violence, BUT.... too much violence is raining down on citizens. Violence, like being stripped of safety nets, stripped of our voices, our dignity.
I can see nothing more violent than my children's future being dragged down the war hole of climate change chaos and constant crises.
I no longer pretend there's even an election going on. in fact, it pisses me off all the threads about the eletion and polls and votes.... it's all BS. The game is so rigged I don't know why people are pretending. Our eruption should have happened a long time ago but we have continued to ignore it all and hope and change and the next president will make it all better hugsy kissies and ...
makes me sick.
"Love One Another" ~ George Harrison
she doesn't have a legal obligation to cooperate
In fact, she cannot be compelled to cooperate. You know, "taking the Fifth."
Now, I now that's not supposed to imply that she's guilty. But then the narrative becomes, if she doesn't have anything to hide, why wouldn't she cooperate? And THAT plays right into Trump's hands: "They (all politicians) are the same." "Crooked Hillary."
They both have high unfavorables, but Hillary is un-TRUSTworthy. Trump is un-LIKEABLE. Which one is easier for people to vote for?
You keep using that word...
I would rather deal with an asshole
than a dishonest "Nice Guy" every time.
At least with the asshole you know where you, and they, stand....

Me too, but. ...
In my experience it's not always easy to tell which is which.
Now interviewing signature candidates. Apply within.
Well, after 13 years in the prison system I do have a pretty
finely honed Bullshit Detector, but occasionally one does slip by me.
It doesn't take me very long to make a (usually) spot on assessment of the content of someones character, but when I do err it is usually on the optimistic side. (I'd rather think someone is decent unless given ample reason to think otherwise, I guess I am silly that way, lol!)

Her appearance with Chris Hayes
I don't know if this has been remarked anywhere -- but I was watching Clinton on Chris Hayes a couple of nights ago. He asked her if she'd been contacted by the FBI "about an interview regarding the email situation." To my ears, she absolutely elided the question. She said this:
That was such carefully constructed non-denial denial. The "no" sounds as if it's a response to what Chirs Hayes asked about being contacted by the FBI -- but, for her, it will stand as a lead-in for the answer she chose to give, to a question that wasn't asked -- that of whether an interview has been scheduled. It sounds to me that there's a really big Matzo-ball out there, because he evasion seems to actually imply that the she or her representatives have been contacted by the FBI, and that she simply hasn't consented and scheduled an interview..

Hillary-speak
I believe someone brought up something similar and it was given a new name! "Hillary-speak".
Why would we believe her over the OIG? Her campaign is becoming an embarrassment due to her repeated "lies". Who does she think she is still convincing?? Most savvy voters have been doing their own research, and can tell when she is adding lying to her original "mistake" of not using the required government server.
Can you imagine the first state of the union address under a Hillary presidency? We wouldn't know whether to believe any of it or not!
How many Presidents have told us...
That's been a regularly featured lie in The States of The Union speech for a very very long time.
The drinking game would be life threatening to everyone playing with every speech and Public speaking engagement of Shillary, The Corporate President.
