[Wash Free Bacon] The FBI has seized four State Department computer servers as part of its probe into how classified information was compromised on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email system, according to people familiar with the investigation.
The four servers, which were located at the State Department's headquarters building, were seized by the FBI several weeks ago. They are being checked by technical forensic analysts charged with determining how Top Secret material was sent to Clinton's private email by State Department aides during her tenure as secretary from 2009 to 2013, said two people familiar with the probe. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because it is an ongoing investigation.
State Department spokesman John Kirby referred questions about the computer servers to the FBI. An FBI spokeswoman, Carol Cratty, declined to comment. They're finally getting around to the data transfer piece. Now it's just a process of elimination. Who logged on to classified boxes, either SIPRNET or JWICS, and on what date and hour; then crossing-checking that data with the UNCLAS Chappaqua servers, issuing subpoenas, etc. I am hopeful something will now come of it.

There are only a small number of SCIFs in Main State. The number of people w/access to JWICS in those facilities in small. The list of people w/access to S/NF stuff is huge so I ASSume the Feebs will focus on the TS/SCI stuff.

[Daily Beast] "He's the most interesting character out there," Clinton went on. "And there is a macho appeal of saying 'I'm just sick of nothing happening. I'll make things happen. Vote for me.'" Never too early to set the stage for a potential presidential pardon.
[Huffpoo] The Justice Department is set to release about 6,000 inmates early from prison -- the largest one-time release of federal prisoners -- in an effort to reduce overcrowding and provide relief to drug offenders who received harsh sentences over the past three decades, according to U.S. officials.
The inmates from federal prisons nationwide will be set free by the department's Bureau of Prisons between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2. About two-thirds of them will go to halfway houses and home confinement before being put on supervised release. About one-third are foreign citizens who will be quickly deported, officials said.
The early release follows action by the U.S. Sentencing Commission -- an independent agency that sets sentencing policies for federal crimes -- that reduced the potential punishment for future drug offenders last year and then made that change retroactive.
The commission's action is separate from an effort by President Obama to grant clemency to certain nonviolent drug offenders, an initiative that has resulted in the early release of 89 inmates.
The panel estimated that its change in sentencing guidelines eventually could result in 46,000 of the nation's approximately 100,000 drug offenders in federal prison qualifying for early release. The 6,000 figure, which has not been reported previously, is the first tranche in that process.
"The number of people who will be affected is quite exceptional," said Mary Price, general counsel for Families Against Mandatory Minimums, an advocacy group that supports sentencing reform.
In what may be the the most visible indication yet that Hillary Clinton is feeling the heat on her email server scandal, a new report claims that a trusted Clinton confidant has advised the former Secretary of State to hire a criminal defense attorney in case she is indicted for failing to secure classified government documents and for lying under oath.
"This is a guy who has been with the Clintons for 30 years," Ed Klein, author of Unlikeable: The Problem With Hillary, said of the source of the new revelations on Monday night's Hannity. "He says, paraphrasing John Dean, 'this is a cancer on her candidacy."
Klein claims that Clinton is being advised to hire a "big league criminal defense attorney", possibly even a republican, to defend her should criminal charges be brought against her.
Just last week we learned that the FBI has likely recovered the 33,000 deleted emails or at least a portion of them. This has led to growing speculation about just what the deleted emails contain.
"If it's not about yoga, a wedding, a funeral, or conversations with Bill," Sean asked Sharyl Attkinsson,"could this be the smoking gun that gets her indicted?"
"It's hard to say until we know what's int he emails, and only perhaps she knows," Attkisson said.
"I think her big concern," Attkisson added, "is that through internal polling she knows she's done and that the public does see the Benghazi question as a legitimate issue, both Democratic and Republican voters."

Nonsense. She will follow the usual pattern of deny, deny, deny, followed by lie, lie, lie.
Hillary will never see the inside of a jail cell like she so richly deserves.

Her haughty comment about Benghazi "What difference does it make" ought to be enough to disqualify her from being POTUS but then there are many who simply want to vote for a woman to be POTUS just to break new ground regardless of her capabilities, lack of ethics and morality, or criminality--and despite the experiment which failed miserably during the past 7 years. She and others in the administration left four good people to die in Benghazi and then made up some bullshit story about a video made in California that stirred up the barbarians in Libya.

Chinese Billionaire Arrested in U.N. Bribery Case Has Clinton Links
Ng being the mega-rich Chinese national who used a proxy to pour more than $1 million into the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton-Gore campaign back in 1996. Scandal was joined by embarrassment when it turned out that Ng had been favored with 10 visits to the White House, including an elevator ride with Hillary Clinton.

Mr Ng previously figured into a Congressional probe into how foreign money was funnelled into to the Democratic National Committee before the 1996 presidential election during the Clinton administration.
On both counts, he was never charged.
[Daily Caller] In a Monday interview with "Ebony," Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said that after meeting with movement organizers, he now understands why "Black Lives Matter is more significant than All Lives Matter."
"We met on several occasions and those meetings have all been very productive. Many white people are not sensitive to the kind of abuse that African Americans, especially younger African Americans, receive at the hands of police officers and police departments," explained the 74-year-old socialist.
"For most whites their experience with the police has been good or neutral because they don't interact with the police as much as those in the black community."
Additionally, Sanders pointed to the recent death of Sandra Bland to illustrate his point.

"For most whites their experience with the police has been good or neutral because they don't interact with the police as much as those in the black community."
Is it because Whites don't resist arrest, argue with the officer, attack police, riot, or commit crimes that result in arrest?

As Theodore Dalrymple points out in detail in Life At The Bottom, the problem is not one of race, but of the behaviours of the bottom class, which in Britain is white. There, as here, the behaviours and the reasons given for them have been provided by nearly a century of bien pensants, the self-proclaimed leading thinkers of the age.

Black lives and also Palestinian lives. The Times of Israel reports about the campaign apologizing for ejecting a Palestinian group from a rally on Saturday. Candidate Sanders is neatly being roped into the current Progressive shibboleths despite his previous vaunted independence. It seems the price for his soul is a small one, merely his lifelong, heartfelt beliefs -- it just wasn't worth collecting when he only represented a minor state in the Senate.

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Some of the individuals with a badge are on a power trip! I am white and I want all police to wear cameras. In my opinion this will prevent me from having a bad day when the police person is having one!
A curious public is clamorous
To fit other people with cameras:
The police, politicians,
Thugs, athletes, physicians,
And husbands of beauties most amorous.
