[Wash Times] ANNAPOLIS, Md. ‐ A Maryland judge ordered the state bar to open an investigation to nowhere Monday into the three lawyers who helped former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delete her private emails.
Anne Arundel County Circuit Court Judge Paul F. Harris Jr. said the complaints lodged against David E. Kendall, Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson were egregious and the state bar couldn’t dismiss them as frivolous.
"There are allegations of destroying evidence," Judge Harris said at a hearing Monday morning.
He said the state’s rules require the bar to conduct investigations no matter who raises the complaint and can’t brush aside accusations.
The judge made the announcement a day before Mrs. Clinton releases her latest book, "What Happened," and begins a monthslong book tour attempting to explain how she lost an election she thought she had secured.

What's the difference between Game of Thrones character Cersei Lannister and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton? One is an entitled narcissist who quietly supported her lecherous husband (whom she clearly loathed) when it was politically convenient, then insisted it was her turn to rule (even though it wasn't), chose boot-lickers, ass-kissers, and elitist bankers as her advisors while alienating more competent and better-liked people who might have helped her, exacted petty vengeance on imagined enemies, escaped justice and the judgment of the people by destroying her main rival‐the charismatic, income-inequality obsessed populist‐with an explosive cheat, and was left confused why so many people in her country would rather be ruled by a complete political unknown who tells it like it is.
The other fucks her twin brother.
It comes as little surprise Clinton identifies with the mad queen. In What Happened, her new book about losing the presidential election to Donald Trump, Clinton writes:
Crowds at Trump rallies called for my imprisonment more times than I can count. They shouted, 'Guilty! Guilty!' like the religious zealots in Game of Thrones chanting 'Shame! Shame!' while Cersei Lannister walked back to the Red Keep."
Assuming this reference is genuine‐and not something ham-fistedly inserted into the book by a culturally-woke ghostwriter‐it's actually a bit revealing. It's true that Cersei is a tragic, occasionally sympathetic figure. But she's also one of the villains of the story: a manifestly incompetent ruler whose greatest talent is hurting every person who crosses her. She doesn't represent any ideology or philosophy beyond naked self-promotion. More than any other claimant for the Iron Throne of Westeros, she wants to rule because she believes it is her turn.
That Clinton would actively invite readers to make this comparison is, um, probably a partial answer to the question asked by the book's title. What happened? Nobody wants to vote for a Cersei.
[NY Post] Ex-national security adviser Susan Rice privately told House investigators that she "unmasked" the identities of some senior Trump officials to learn why the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates was in New York late last year, CNN reported Wednesday, citing sources.
The New York sitdown ‐ which the Obama administration wasn’t told about ‐ came before a separate effort by the UAE to set up back-channel communications between Russia and the incoming Trump White House, the network said.
Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan arrived in New York last December before Trump was sworn in for a meeting with several top Trump advisers, including Mike Flynn, Jared Kushner and top strategist Steve Bannon, sources said.
The Obama administration felt misled by the UAE, which had failed to tell them that Zayed was coming to the US, which is standard procedure for such visits.
Rice told the House Intelligence Committee last week that she asked for the names of the Americans mentioned in the classified report to be revealed internally, a practice officials in both parties say is common.
Trump later accused Rice of committing a crime.
But her explanation seemed to have satisfied some Republicans on the committee, and raised new questions about whether any Trump officials tried to arrange back-channel discussions with the Russians.
"I didn’t hear anything to believe that she did anything illegal," Florida Rep. Tom Rooney, a Republican helping to lead the panel’s Russia investigation, told CNN about Rice’s testimony.

Continuing to live her cover. If nothing else, she is consistent. Much like Holder, she is immune from detailed scrutiny or prosecution. Quite obviously, no explanation is required.

To get the full benefit of the Fragrance you have to first lift up the Bull's tail and then inhale deeply.
That is democrat you smell. Straight from the essence of the source.
Step right this way and you get the full tour of a very deep ( brought to you at great expense ) dark hole in Washington DC.

Reads like whitewash. I guess everything is forgivable in D.C. so far as the ruling elites. Hillary best said it: "What difference does it make? (said w/cynicism)"

As some one else mentioned - what difference does it make? Who has been punished under the law for all these breaches of the law? Law is for little people. Goes all the way back to Sandy "The Socks" Burger. You want to see inequity in America? It's not about race, its about those of the Inner Party and the Proles.
