[Breitbart] In a Friday interview on C-SPAN, former U.S. Attorney for the District of Colombia Joseph diGenova held up a copy of Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich and said, "I know from conversations with former FBI agents that the FBI, believe it or not, has a copy of this book, Clinton Cash."
"And they have delved into it deeply," diGenova said about the federal agents currently investigating the multiple email accounts and the private server that then-secretary of state Hillary Clinton and her aids used to conduct official government business while she was in office.

They are a hierarchical government bureaucracy headed by a political appointee in competition with other enforcement organizations for annual funding. They are on their own side.
[TammyBruce.com]. The President’s FY2017 budget request seeks $3,865,000 in appropriations for expenditures for former Presidents, an increase of $588,000 (17.9%) from the FY2016 appropriation level. The increase in requested appropriations for FY2017 anticipates President Barack Obama’s transition from incumbent to former President," the report reads... If it can be rolled into a one time contract 'buy-out' that begins on Monday, I'm all for it. Future presidents can negotiate their own plans based on performance.

He's going to make exponentially more than the Clintons did post presidency, ball sucking Hollywood and everyone else. Why's he worried about small shit like this?

#5 I see that also. I have said for some time that he will be the first broke president. He can't manage money except for the constant begging for handouts. Someone else always foots the bill. He will live the high life for a short time. Who knows even things stronger than marijuana. Like Barry, cocaine. I wonder to what lengths the Democrats will go to cover for him or the media.

Obama ought to be sued for the irreparable harm he has done to this country. He's already stolen enough; now he wants to steal more. Tell him to go screw himself and the camel he rode in on.
[JudicialWatch]. (Washington, DC) -- Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking communications between the U.S. Department of the Treasury and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of the Treasury (No. 1:15-cv-01776)).
The goal of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit is to gain access to documents involving a uranium deal approved by then-Secretary of State Clinton that is tied to major Clinton Foundation donor Frank Giustra and Russian-state issues.
The lawsuit was filed after the Treasury Department ignored a FOIA request sent on May 29, 2015. Judicial Watch's request seeks emails between key Treasury agencies and Hillary Clinton non-governmental email accounts:

Looks like this problem wasn't fixed after all.
The documents, though redacted, detail a bureaucratic showdown between Ms. Clinton and NSA at the outset of her tenure at Foggy Bottom. The new Secretary of State, who had gotten "hooked" on her Blackberry during her failed 2008 presidential bid, according to a top State Department security official, wanted to use that Blackberry anywhere she went.
That, however, was impossible, since Secretary Clinton’s main office space at Foggy Bottom was actually a Secure Compartment Information Facility, called a SCIF (pronounced "skiff") by insiders. A SCIF is required for handling any Top Secret-plus information. In most Washington, D.C., offices with a SCIF, which has to be certified as fully secure from human or technical penetration, that’s where you check Top Secret email, read intelligence reports, and conduct classified meetings that must be held inside such protected spaces.
But personal electronic devices--your cellphone, your Blackberry--can never be brought into a SCIF. They represent a serious technical threat that is actually employed by many intelligence agencies worldwide. Though few Americans realize it, taking remote control over a handheld device, then using it to record conversations, is surprisingly easy for any competent spy service. Your smartphone is a sophisticated surveillance device--on you, the user--that also happens to provide phone service and Internet access.
As a result, your phone and your Blackberry always need to be locked up before you enter any SCIF. Taking such items into one represents a serious security violation. And Hillary and her staff really hated that. Not even one month into the new administration in early 2009, Ms. Clinton and her inner circle were chafing under these rules. They were accustomed to having their personal Blackberrys with them at all times, checking and sending emails nonstop, and that was simply impossible in a SCIF like their new office was.
This resulted in a February 2009 request by Secretary Clinton to NSA, whose Information Assurance Directorate (IAD for short: see here for an explanation of Agency organization) secures the sensitive communications of many U.S. Government entities, from Top Secret computer networks, to White House communications, to the classified codes that control our nuclear weapons.
The contents of Sid Blumenthal’s June 8, 2011 email to Hillary Clinton--to her personal, unclassified account--were based on highly sensitive NSA information.
IAD had recently created a special, custom-made secure Blackberry for Barack Obama, another technology addict. Now Ms. Clinton wanted one for herself. However, making the new president’s personal Blackberry had been a time-consuming and expensive exercise. NSA was not inclined to provide Secretary Clinton with one of her own simply for her convenience: there had to be clearly demonstrated need.
And that seemed dubious to IAD since there was no problem with Ms. Clinton checking her personal email inside her office SCIF. Hers, like most, had open (i.e. unclassified) computer terminals connected to the Internet, and the Secretary of State could log into her own email anytime she wanted to right from her desk.
But she did not want to. Ms. Clinton only checked her personal email on her Blackberry: she did not want to sit down at a computer terminal. As a result, NSA informed Secretary Clinton in early 2009 that they could not help her. When Team Clinton kept pressing the point, "we were politely told to shut up and color" by IAD, explained the State security official. There is a lot more at the link. It's a bit more than personal convenience or simply not wanting to 'sit down at a terminal.' What the Beest wanted and got was a separate server and system support apparatus which was not connected to US Government Information Operations network or its pesky security, oversight, and FOIA access. In the final analysis, if one is ever published, the mishandling of classified documents will likely pale in comparison to her financial misdeeds in support of the Clinton Foundation.

I think a lot of this shit is sprinkled liberally (ha!) with falsehoods in order to make the Hildabeast look more reasonable... "look, I wanted a secure thingey like everyone else, but they wouldn't give me one!"
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
