'Pay-to-play' at Clinton State Department exposed in new emails, watchdog says
[FOXNEWS] Newly disclosed emails expose fresh examples of "pay to play" at the Clinton State Department, a conservative watchdog group said Thursday.

The emails, from Clinton aide Huma Abedin's account, were among 1,600 documents turned over by the State Department in connection with Judicial Watch's Freedom of Information Act lawsuit.

Judicial Watch said the documents reveal Clinton Foundation friends requesting and receiving favors from the State Department.

"The emails show ’what happened’ was that Hillary Clinton
... former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, sometimes described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as a crook...
and Huma Abedin obviously violated laws about the handling of classified information and turned the State Department into a pay for play tool for the corrupt Clinton Foundation," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said, in a swipe at Clinton's newly released campaign memoir "What Happened." "The clear and mounting evidence of pay for play and mishandling of classified information warrant a serious criminal investigation by an independent Trump Justice Department."

In May 2010, Clinton Foundation donor and developer Eddie Trump wrote to Doug Band, a Clinton Foundation official and former top aide to President Bill Clinton
...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is...
, forwarding a request for help getting the Russian American Foundation involved in a State Department program. Band forwarded the request to Abedin, asking if they can "get this done/mtg set." Judicial Watch previously reported that the State Department paid more than $260,000 to the Russian American Foundation for "public diplomacy."

In July 2009, Zachary Schwartz, an associate for donor Steve Bing, contacted Band requesting help on visas for Cuba for a film production crew from Bing's Shangri La Entertainment. Band forwarded the request to Abedin asking her to call Schwartz "asap." Abedin said she would. Bing reportedly donated between $10 million and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation.

11-Year-Old Gets Chance To Mow The Lawn At The White House
[HOTAIR] Frank Giaccio is an 11-year-old boy from Falls Church, Virginia who wrote the president a letter asking if he could mow the White House lawn. Last month, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders read Frank’s letter during the daily briefing:
Dear Mr. President, it would be my honor to mow the White House lawn for some weekend for you. Even though I’m only 10, I’d like to show the nation what young people like me are ready for. I admire your business background and have started my own business.
Sanders also announced that Frank was going to be invited to the White House and would get the chance to mow the lawn. Friday, Frank got his wish.

#1  Good news worth to view or print. See, it can be done.

#2  Excellent! The 'left' will never understand it however. A young lad (male child abortion survivor) with a lawn mower, making a formal request, working, earning the admiration of his father and the recognition of the president. Bourgeois concepts and outcomes, they are fully beyond the left's understanding.

CNN host Bourdain jokes about poisoning Trump
[MSN] CNN host Anthony Bourdain jokedin an interview with TMZ that he would poison President Trump if given the opportunity to cook for him and North Korean dictator Kim Pudge Jong-un
...the overweight, pouty-looking hereditary potentate of North Korea. Pudge appears to believe in his own divinity, but has yet to produce any loaves and fishes, so his subjects remain malnourished...
"If Trump and Kim Jong-un were going to have a bit of a summit to try and mend relations and they wanted you to cater, what would you serve?" asked a TMZ news hound.

"Hemlock," Bourdain deadpanned.

Hemlock is defined as "a drug or lethal drink prepared from the poison hemlock" that has been used as an execution method.

The 61-year-old host of CNN's weekly food and travel series, "Parts Unknown," later told Fox News that he meant to say "kale."

#4  Wonder if the Secret Service has a sense of humor or if he'll get to enjoy an interview.

#5  he needs to be "interviewed"
Posted by: 746 || 09/16/2017 17:26 Comments || Top||

#6  Sounds like something he'd say. Service is gonna need a sense of humor, because this guy is really full of himself and thinks he is really funny.

But that he said he meant to say kale shows he lost the edge which made him known. Hence, the Hemlock bit.

#7  Pusillanimous wretch. If you ill-wish someone then you should show the stones to own up to your own spite and bile.
