Miss Communication

Entire article quoted here:

When it comes to the Clintons, you never know which scandals will stick and which will miraculously disappear because of the deal they made with Satan when selling their tattered souls. That being said, Hillary's metastasizing email scandal seems to have the potential to derail her presidential aspirations - and perhaps incur criminal charges.
It seems that when Hillary became Secretary of State, she immediately set up a private email server in her home and conducted all of her official business (and quite likely monkey business) on that computer email system rather than the cyber-secure government system which isrequired by federal law.
After a two day silence on the subject, Hillary eventually tweeted that she really, truly wants America to see her emails, and State Department spokes-hipster Marie "Jobs For ISIS" Harf has confirmed that this will absolutely happen. You know, eventually.
The problem is, the State Department doesn't have (and never has had) all of Mrs. Clinton's emails - it only has the ones which Hillary's personal staffers chose to give them.
Apparently, a lot of people in high places (perhaps even a certain president?) were aware of and comfortable with this clear violation of law and (oh yeah!) putting classified communications at risk for the sole purpose of protecting Hillary's obsessive political aspirations.
Now that her private email system has been discovered, Hope n' Change would like to suggest that Mrs. Clinton go back and review the many unread messages in her spam folder.

Maybe that's where ambassador Chris Stevens' requests for help in Benghazi ended up.

WHAT IF: Obama Were President in 1941

The Sen. Menendez inquisition grinds on

Justice Department leaks investigation of Sen. Menendez after he publicly opposes Obama Iran policy   "You could say that the Chicago way met the New Jersey way yesterday, as the Obama administration moved to neutralize a critic who stands in the way of its Iran policy (which seems to be ensuring that the mullahs get their apocalypse-seeking hands on nuclear weapons).  In an administration that abhors leaks, CNN was given the story that Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) is going to be charged with criminal corruption, just days after he prominently opposed the Obama administration on its Iran policy and supported Obama’s bête noir, Bibi Netanyahu."

Cruz: Menendez probe politically motivated

"Des Moines, Iowa -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) suggested Saturday that the Justice Department’s criminal corruption charges against Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) are political retribution against the New Jersey Democrat for opposing the White House’s negotiations with Iran.

"Cruz made the allegations to a throng of reporters jammed into the corner of a tent outside the Iowa Ag Summit in Des Moines without even having been asked about the Menendez criminal charges.

“ 'The announcement this week by the Justice Department that they were bringing charges against Bob Menendez — I will point out that the timing seems awfully coincidental that … in the very week that Bob Menendez showed incredible courage to speak out and call out President Obama for the damage that his policy is doing to our national security … the Justice Department announces they’re moving forward with the criminal prosecution,” Cruz said.

“ 'It raises the suggestion to other Democrats that if you dare part from the Obama White House, that criminal prosecutions will be used potentially as a political weapon against you as well,” he added."

Emphasis added

Corruption case against Sen. Robert Menendez could be tough to make  . . ."Members of Congress accused of trading their official actions for personal gifts or campaign donations, as prosecutors are suggesting Menendez (D-N.J.) may have done, can rely on several legal defenses to stave off a conviction, experts say.

DOJ TO BRING CHARGES AGAINST MENENDEZ OR WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CROSS OBAMA  . . . "This is what I wrote at the time of the confrontation between Obama and Menendez:

Good for Bob Menendez for calling out Obama. But it will come at a price. I'm sure Menendez has now eclipsed Netanyahu as numero uno on Obama's crap list.

 "Well, having your Attorney General and closest political ally charge his own party's top critic on any deal with Iran with corruption is one way to silence your critics.

"I've said it before and I must say it again. President Obama plays for keeps and anyone who gets in his way faces ruin."   Aaron Goldstein

Sen. Menendez pays the price for standing up to Barack Obama

Feds to Charge top critic of Obama's Iran deal Menendez With Corruption
. . . "Menendez has been accused of illegally receiving gifts from two fugitive businessmen in exchange for pushing their interests in Congress.While the federal investigation has been ongoing, the timing of the charges is curious. Menendez has been one of the top Democratic critics in Congress of the Obama administration's negotiations and forthcoming deal with Iran over the Islamic Republic's nuclear ambitions. Earlier this year, the New Jersey Democrat said the White House's talking points on the Iran deal were "straight out of Tehran."

Days Before News of Corruption Charges, Menendez Warned of Political Foes Trying to ‘Break’ Him Over Iran Resolve

. . . "Menendez, the ranking member on the Foreign Relations Committee and a longtime proponent of tough measures on Iran to prevent the Islamic Republic from getting a nuclear weapon, has long been a thorn in the side of the White House for his determination to keep and impose tough sanctions.

"But last Friday, Menendez upped the ante.

"On top of the reintroduction of sanctions legislation with Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) that the administration disliked, he introduced a bill Friday that the White House really hates: one that requires congressional approval of an Iran deal."

Psst DOJ, When You Go After Menendez, Don’t Forget Dirty Harry Reid’s Involvement…

"Menendez dared to challenge Obama over Israel and Iran. Now he will be made to pay over charges that until now have languished. Very scary use of DOJ. But, this is de rigueur with this White House.

"Via NJ.com:

. . .The New Jersey Law Journal report also said the government alleges that Menendez and then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) met with then-Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius regarding Melgen in 2012 — something that has not been previously reported. The Washington Post in 2013 reported that Menendez met with the acting administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services regarding a Melgen billing dispute.

Got Clinton fatigue yet?

It's Over, Hillary   "Hillary and Bill Clinton have always had what can be termed as an "Icarus" problem. Through their years in political office, the scandals swirled around them but seemingly failed to engulf them: Jennifer Flowers (and the other women); Whitewater; Travelgate; the cattle futures killing; Monica Lewinsky; Benghazi; Bill's "business" jaunts courtesy of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein; the Clinton Foundation's foreign donor problem; and now, Hillary Clinton's version of "Emailgate." Through it all the Clintons have soared to the heights of hubris with obfuscation and denial, challenging and daring the sun god of karma. Instead of crash and burn, they've instead repeatedly landed on their feet, quite comfortably.

"Until now."    Full article

White House suggests Obama learned about Clinton emails by 'reading the newspaper'  "I have no idea when the president first learned," White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters of the simmering controversy. "I wouldn't be surprised, however, if he had learned about that by reading the newspaper. The president has a lot of things on his plate. I'm not sure the details of a senior administration official's email arrangement lands on the president's desk with any regularity."  Via Weasel Zippers

Hillary Counting On Dem Ops in Media to Save Her Bacon . . . "And there you have it — the Democrat-Media Complex playbook in all its naked, up-your glory. What the Clintons know — and what Barry Hussein learned from them — is that the mechanics of government work too slowly for the cops to ever catch up to the robbers. By the time the good guys’ response wends its way through the courts, whatever the enormity is will have been superseded by two or three other things, ad infinitum. All you have to do is wait it out, then go home and count your money.

"At least that is what the Clintons do. Barry is different: all he has to do is go home and wait for the republic to collapse, and then go play another round of golf at our expense in his lifetime of perpetual, taxpayer-subsidized “retirement.' ”
