Flashback: Caught On Tape Bernie Voters Purged, Hillary Supporters Vote Without Registering

While over 200 Bernie supporters were prevented from voting, Hillary supporters were allowed to walk in and vote without even registering at all.

A video posted on YouTube by James Porter purports to show Hillary Clinton voters bypassing the registration area to cast ballots in the Nevada caucus Saturday.


“They’re letting them into the caucus right now without registering them,” a woman can be heard yelling as a steady line of people stream by.

“They’re going to do the count. They’re all going to be part of the count,” anther woman can be heard saying in reply.

“But they’re not registered,” a man says.

“They will register after this,” the woman can be heard saying.

“Clinton supports caught BREAKING the rules,” Porter writes in the video description. “This just happened at caucus location in Nevada. Hillary supporters were not registering to caucus, which is NOT allowed by the Democratic Party"

Nevada Caucus: Hillary Operatives Utilize Common Thuggery to Deny Sanders Delegates/Supporters Voice

There is no politically correct way to call it. The Nevada State Caucus was blatantly rigged to deny Sanders supporters their voice and their rightful delegate positions. It is was an out in the open FRAUD that ended with calls to the police by the Clinton thugs to stop the rightful protest of the Sanders advocates. It is LONG past time that Sen Bernie Sanders openly denounce the nationwide theft and rigging of this SHAM of a ‘Democratic’ primary election. There is NOTHING democratic about this process. Here is the summary of what went down from Heavy – scroll further down to watch the videos for yourself.

Sanders steps up in California — will Clinton?

Sen. Bernie Sanders made plain Tuesday that he is not just coming to California to raise money and hold rallies. He is here to talk issues, take questions — and to press front-runner Hillary Clinton to make good on her commitment for a May debate in the Golden State.


“This is the largest state in the country,” Sanders said during a meeting with The Chronicle. “You have a right to hear how the presidential candidates intend to address many serious problems facing this great state.”

We agree that Clinton should keep the promise she made in February to participate in three previously unscheduled debates, including one in California. She may have a significant lead in delegates, but she has yet to clinch the nomination or compel Sanders to leave the race — and, until that happens, she has an obligation to do more than go through the motions of campaigning.

Sanders made plain in his 50-minute meeting that he has not given up, and he served a succession of reminders that there are significant policy differences between the two candidates.

Non Profit Quarterly: The Philanthropic Problem with Hillary Clinton’s Huge Speaking Fees

If you have spent any time with Bill or Hillary Clinton in person, as this writer has, you’ll get this point: Whether you like or hate their politics, you cannot deny their brilliance. The former president is a phenomenal, freewheeling thinker, able to integrate knowledge from multiple sources with insight that puts him a level above the crowd. His spouse, the former senator and Secretary of State and probable presidential candidate, possesses a steely, directed brilliance that is in sharp contrast with her more extemporaneous husband. Even on their individual merits, were they not the most powerful political couple in the United States, you would want to hear them talk—and maybe even pay them to do so.

But speaking fees for Bill and Hillary Clinton—and now their daughter Chelsea as well—are a cause for nonprofit and philanthropic concern, particularly with nonprofit entities that pay huge sums, six- and seven-figure fees to bring the Clintons to the dais. The news reports about the speaking fees and related political blowback regarding the Clintons have been increasing geometrically:"

This article highlights the issues with the Clinton's non profit work like nothing I've read before. Very informative.

Latest DNC talking point: Per DWS, It's not Hillary who's the target of the FBI investigation

I had this used against here so I googled and sure enough. DWS was on Fox saying exactly this.

So if it's not Hillary then who is under investigation?

"Morning Joe" Laughs At Clinton Camp's Claim FBI Investigation Is Actually A "Security Inquiry"

"FBI Director James Comey says he is "not familiar" with the term "security inquiry," which is how the Clinton campaign characterized the investigation into Hillary's homebrew email server. Mika read the director's statement: "We're conducting an investigation. That is the Bureau's business. That is what we do."

Needless to say, the idea that the Federal Bureau of Investigations had to reiterate to Clinton that they are conducting an investigation, brought Joe to laugh.

"That sort of undercuts the talking point from her supporters over the past nine months," Joe observed."

Storm Clouds Form: Bob Woodward Compares Hillary Scandal to Watergate

Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal has been a difficult one for the public to understand and for journalists to explain. But Bob Woodward, the Washington Post reporter who helped uncover Watergate 40 years ago, clarified things a lot on Fox News Sunday today when he said that an e-mail in the most recently released batch shows Hillary trying to “subvert the rules” that she expected others to follow.

A few days earlier, Joe DiGenova, a well-respected former district attorney for the District of Columbia, told The Laura Ingraham Show that “there is vitriol of an intense amount developing” in the intelligence community and that FBI agents “are already in the process of gearing themselves to basically revolt if [the Justice Department] refuses to bring charges” against either Hillary Clinton or her former State Department staffers.

It was the State Department’s data dump in the wee hours of January 1 that revealed a particularly eyebrow-raising e-mail from Hillary Clinton: In one note in February 2011, she expressed surprise that a State Department employee was using a private e-mail to conduct State business. She wrote this e-mail, seeming to express dissatisfaction at the employee’s use of private e-mail, on her own private e-mail server — through which she sent all her e-mails while secretary of state."

Clinton abandoned secure line to use home phone, new email shows

New emails released by a conservative watchdog group on Thursday appear to show former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton directing a top aide to call her via an unsecured phone line when technical troubles prevented a secure phone conversation.

“I give up. Call me on my home #,” Clinton told then-chief of staff Cheryl Mills in a February 2009 email, after more than an hour of trouble trying to communicate via a secure line.

“I just spoke to ops and called you reg line - we have to wait until we see each other b/c [the] technology is not working,” Mills said in another email sent at almost exactly the same time.
“Pls try again,” responded Clinton, a few moments later.

It’s unclear whether the two did connect, or if they moderated any discussion they may have had to avoid sensitive topics while on an unsecure landline.

But the episode is likely to cause concern among critics of Clinton, who have previously accused her of resorting to unsecure forms of communication out of convenience, potentially jeopardizing sensitive information. Another email of Clinton’s, released in January, appeared to show her telling a top aide to remove identifying details and send a sensitive document through a “nonsecure” channel instead of via "secure fax."

CNBC Grills Sidney Blumenthal: "How Would We Know" Donations To Foundation Didn't Affect Policy


Posted on May 12, 2016

In a Thursday morning interview on CNBC, Clinton backer Sidney Blumenthal faced questions about his relationship with the Clinton Foundation's operations in Libya during the time Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.

Backstory: Sidney Blumenthal was a longtime Clinton friend, Clinton Foundation employee, and supposed "fixer" who Hillary wanted to hire at the State Department, but President Obama refused to allow him to serve in his administration. That didn’t stop her from using her private email server to communicate with him about how things were going in Libya as the war spiraled out of control. His correspondences with Clinton are probably a part of any investigation into what happened in that country, and he testified at the House Benghazi Committee last year. In 2011, the U.S. and several European countries overthrew the government of Libya, leaving the country in a state of anarchy which continues today.

"I testified for nine-and-a-half hours," Blumenthal said about the Benghazi Committee Thursday morning. "I answered all their questions... On the question of so-called "clients" [in Libya], I had no contracts with anybody. I didn't invest in anybody, no one made a nickel. No one spent a penny. I had a real job at the Clinton Foundation working on educational projects, that was a separate matter."

"You weren't getting paid by Libya?" the host asked. "Should we ever think that there was influence in State Department Affairs that were influenced by donations to the Clinton Foundation? I don't know whether we've totally vetted that -- there is perhaps the aura of something going on, certain people think that certainly."

"Reports show that there were not donations to the Clinton Foundation that had any influence on State Dept. policy," he said. "And about the Benghazi committee -- I have urged for the release of my testimony, I have always urged it."

"How would we know donations wouldn't affect policy?" asked a CNBC host."
