[American Action News] In a fiery exchange at a Washington, D.C. courtroom, a federal judge excoriated career State Department officials of lying and signing "clearly false" affidavits to protect former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from scrutiny over her private email server and Benghazi consulate scandals. (Fox News)
U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth said he was "shocked" and "dumbfounded" when he learned that FBI had granted immunity to former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills during its investigation into the use of Clinton's server, according to a court transcript of his remarks.
"I had myself found that Cheryl Mills had committed perjury and lied under oath in a published opinion I had issued in a Judicial Watch case where I found her unworthy of belief, and I was quite shocked to find out she had been given immunity in ‐ by the Justice Department in the Hillary Clinton email case," Lamberth said during Friday's hearing.
The Department of Justice's Inspector General (IG), Michael Horowitz, noted in a bombshell report in June that it was "inconsistent with typical investigative strategy" for the FBI to allow Mills to sit in during the agency's interview of Clinton during the email probe, given that classified information traveled through Mills' personal email account. "[T]here are serious potential ramifications when one witness attends another witness' interview," the IG wrote.
On Friday, Lamberth, who was appointed to the bench by President Ronald Reagan, said he did not know Mills had been granted immunity until he "read the IG report and learned that and that she had accompanied [Clinton] to her interview."
During one especially tense exchange, Lamberth accused the Justice Department's lawyer of "playing the same word games [Clinton] played."

Coming to the conclusion that the amnesties were part of a Whitewash orchestrated from the White House is just 'crazy conspiracy theory talk', right, Right? (/sarc ... if it was needed)
[DAILYCALLER] Wilfred Michael Stark has a long history of attacking Republicans and has been previously arrested multiple times.
Stark was employed by American Bridge 21st Century, founded by David Brock.
Despite multiple arrests and complaints, Brock did not fire Stark until now.

A law suit against his employers should be instituted.
That he had many physical unwanted contacts with Republican staffers while continuing to be employed as an agent of whatever they are, makes them liable at least for conspiracy to intimidate Republican supporters.

[Yahoo] A Minnesota Democratic candidate for Congress who is poised to become the first Somali-American elected to the U.S. House has denounced claims that she married her brother and committed immigration fraud as "disgusting lies," and says allegations of campaign finance violations are politically motivated.
Ilhan Omar, who is running in Minnesota's liberal 5th District, continues to be dogged by conservatives who have raised questions about her past. As the election approaches, the attacks are intensifying: Last week, Minnesota Republicans in the 5th District began a digital billboard campaign and launched a website that highlights the allegations, many of which were first raised by conservative media outlets in 2016 as Omar was running for her seat in the Minnesota Legislature.
Omar broadly denied the allegations in a statement to The Associated Press, but declined to provide documents or answer specific questions when pressed.
"We choose not to further the narrative of those who oppose us," Omar's statement said, adding that she believes the claims are being made by people who want to stop a black, female Muslim from sitting in Congress.
She faces Republican opponent Jennifer Zielinski, a virtually unknown first-time candidate, in a congressional district that includes all of Minneapolis and hasn't been represented by a Republican since 1962. The seat is being vacated by U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, who is running for Minnesota attorney general.
Details of the allegations — noted by the journalist to have been previously reported only by conservative bloggers and news sites — can be seen at the link.

Sounds like we agree that if these allegations, or anything like them, are true then such a candidate would not be qualified to hold the office.
[Daily Caller] The Democratic nominee in Georgia’s gubernatorial election had to walk back comments that suggested the agriculture and hospitality industries weren’t worth working in.
The controversy began when Stacey Abrams was giving a speech at Georgia Southern University as part of her "We Are Georgia" bus tour.
"I want to create a lot of different jobs because people shouldn’t have to go into agriculture or hospitality to make a living in Georgia. Why not create renewable energy jobs because ‐ I’m going to tell ya’ll a secret ‐ climate change is real," Abrams said Tuesday at the campaign rally.
Throughout the campaign, Abrams has been a big proponent of solar and wind energy, and has made fighting climate change a part of her campaign platform. The Democratic candidate went on to claim in her Tuesday speech that the state could create 25,000 to 45,000 "good paying" jobs if renewable energy industry is recognized as "not only the future," but also as "the now."
The insinuation that agriculture wasn’t worth working in drew backlash from her critics. Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who is the Republican nominee in the election, suggested her comments were "hurtful" and an indication that she was spending too much time with her "socialist backers in San Francisco."

Wind and solar "energy" are economically unsustainable relying on subsidy.
The taxes needed to subsidise them kill many more jobs than any created in the "green" sector. This is amplified by the fact green subsidies effectively go to land-owners and so the money goes to title owners, not for work done.

The Future will wait not an hour!
Our Vision: Renewable Power!
The spin must be endless,
Maintained, when it's windless,
By batteries filling the tower.

It came from the future and sprawled in
A spot dark, Satanic (no Walden!)
And thoroughly shitty.
Though shiny and pretty,
It uglied the hell outta Malden.

We need giant hamster wheels used to generate power. If you are on welfare you can walk (or run) in the wheel for a certain amount of time each day to earn your check.

AlanC & TW, thanks for your understanding. ;-) But I was even wronger! The turbine that so irked me apparently resides on a little tongue of Boston (Charlestown, even... why do I feel a "Man Who Never Returned" parody coming on?) that protrudes across the Malden Bridge, nowhere near Malden, which makes sense given how most things in New England named for a given town are off in other towns on the way there. Sigh... ya get a little distracted and suddenly the whole world is full of surprises. And superfluous commas.
[Breitbart] Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Tuesday that the "blue wave" is comprised of "undocumented" immigrants, among many others.
Abrams made these comments in front of supporters at the Clayton County campaign office during an event with Senator Elizabeth Warren, as first reported by The Washington Free Beacon.
"The thing of it is, the blue wave is African American. It’s white, it’s Latino, it’s Asian-Pacific Islander," said Abrams, "it is disabled, it is differently-abled, it is LGBTQ, it is law enforcement, it is veterans."
"It is made up of those who’ve been told that they are not worthy of being here. It is comprised of those who are documented and undocumented."

Reminds me of the scene in Breaking Bad where the guy pulls a butter knife on Mr White, 'Elliott, if you want to go that way you're going to need a bigger knife.'

Will we get the sound and light show when she looses her head. I think the Democratic Party is in for a surprise next month. It's possible they will actually loose seats in the House. And the Senate. Which in predictable fashion will cause them to double down on their current approach.
