[Breitbart] WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Former U.S. Army Ranger and Benghazi survivor Kris "Tanto" Paronto told Breitbart News that he believes former President Barack Obama National Security adviser Susan Rice "needs to be in jail" for her decision to willfully unmask the identities of United States citizens connected to President Donald Trump’s transition team.
Paronto added, "The Trump administration has been given the perfect opportunity to set an example, or make an example, out of the type of politician that she is and show these other politicians that they are no longer untouchable."
"I thought Hillary Clinton was bad," Paronto said. "This woman [Susan Rice] surpasses her as far as her evilness and willingness to subvert America with this administration and to continually lie." He added, "This woman broke the law. She put lives in danger. She put officers in danger. She put American citizens in danger by doing that. She has no value for human life unless it benefits her politics or benefits her friendship with the crooked administration that was in power for the previous eight years. That woman, at the very least, needs to be in jail. She has no value of human life."
[Asharq al-Aswat] United States Republicans swatted away decades of tradition Thursday by changing Senate rules to ensure Neil Gorsuch’s confirmation to the Supreme Court, bypassing the first-ever successful opposition block on a high-court nominee.
President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s pick, embraced by conservatives but opposed by most Democrats, failed to receive the 60 votes necessary to end debate on his nomination and move to a simple majority confirmation vote in the 100-seat Senate.
In response, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell moved to change the rules to ensure that a simple majority suffices to advance Gorsuch -- and all subsequent Supreme Court nominees -- from the debate to a confirmation vote.
The rule change -- known as the "nuclear option" -- was approved along party lines in the Republican-controlled Senate, landing like a political earthquake in a chamber already straining to adhere to its traditions of consensus and bipartisanship.

I wonder if Syria tomahawking was McCain's price for voting aye?

Dunno, maybe. Trump probably was also sending a message to the Fat Boy and Norks that basically said "Straighten up and don't mess with us or our allies."
[Political Insider] A stunning report from Fox News indicates that the Obama administration granted former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and six of her top aides access to top secret and classified information ‐ even after she left the State Department in 2013, even after she announced a run for the White House in April of 2015, and even after FBI Director James Comey declared that Clinton and her staff had been "extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information."
Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley made the startling revelation in a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, noting that Clinton asked for access to the classified information because she was writing her memoir, Hard Choices.
That’s right ‐ The woman who had a home brew server installed in her bathroom and whose emails somehow ended up on laptops owned by serial snapchatter Anthony Weiner, was granted access to sensitive material so she could write a book.
Via Fox News:
When Hillary Clinton resigned as Secretary of State in 2013, she negotiated continuing access to classified and top-secret documents for herself and six staffers under the designation "research assistants," according to a powerful senator who notes that Clinton was later deemed "extremely careless" with such information.
The staff apparently retained access even after Clinton announced her run for president in April 2015, according to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. The access was ostensibly granted to facilitate work on Clinton’s memoir, but Grassley said he was only able to verify it after the Obama administration left the White House.
President Obama’s administration repeatedly stonewalled Grassley’s requests for information on the classified information access.

Considering the type of elitist pile of dog poop HRC is, she wouldn't be writing the book but some ghost writer did. So, some clown got access to TS material.

#2 Does the President have authority to do this or is this considered a criminal leak?
The law is a little fuzzy when it comes to the President giving access or releasing info.
If HRC had her clearance still, the president can legally giver her all the access he wants to anything. He really is the end point for access and release.
The president can also release classified material as wall as he can designate it as approved for release.
If she didn't have a clearance... that is when things get fuzzy. The president can release classified info, but to one citizen that doesn't have clearances... would be an interesting legal argument.

Zero granted HRC access to highly classified info and Donna Brazile also fed Hillary debate questions to the "Beest" and she still lost. Bad candidate.
#8
Giving one candidate for president what was apparently unlimited access to classified information when that candidate is a member of your own party would appear to be a political act, and one of a kind inappropriate even for a president.
Since ghostwriters actually write the memoirs, the issue is: were Ms. Clinton's ghostwriters cleared for access to sensitive highly classified information? If not, it would be a felony for her to divulge any of such information found by her to them, rendering it useless for her memoirs.
By the way the broadening of government access to clandestinely obtained information by President Obama days before leaving office seems a strange and inexplicable act. Can we somehow find out the claimed motivation for it?

Little by little that business about Trump and Putin colluding to hack the election is beginning to fade away as Democrat "resistance" goes on defense.

Come on people, you know she was on Susan Rice's JWICs sharepoint, pulling down all that unmasked campaign talk to include in the upcoming chapter of her book, How to Cheat an Election and Blame the Russians.
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.
