When I wrote my article on Monday about six Clinton Foundation scandals you should know about, I didn’t think it would become obsolete just a few days later.

Several more Clinton Foundation scandals were reported this past week—and not just from right-leaning or conspiracy websites. These were three separate articles from mainstream media outlets.

The first came from Politico’s Kenneth Vogel, who wrote about Bill Clinton aides using tax dollars to subsidize the foundation and the setting up of the private email server Hillary Clinton would eventually use to send classified emails. Vogel was careful to note that nothing Bill’s aides did was illegal, but this was just another sketchy deal from the Clinton’s that seems unseemly.

 

“Taxpayer cash was used to buy IT equipment—including servers—housed at the Clinton Foundation, and also to supplement the pay and benefits of several aides now at the center of the email and cash-for-access scandals dogging Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign,” Vogel wrote.

Next came The New York Times, with an article about a top aide for Hillary agreeing to try and obtain a diplomatic passport for one of Bill’s former advisers.

“The request by the adviser, Douglas J. Band, who started one arm of the Clintons’ charitable foundation, was unusual, and the State Department never issued the passport,” wrote Eric Lightblau. “Only department employees and others with diplomatic status are eligible for the special passports, which help envoys facilitate travel, officials said.”

Finally, there was an article from McClatchy about Clinton Foundation aides treating the State Department like just another foundation offshoot.

“An official at the Clinton Global Initiative sent top State Department aide Melanne Verveer a 63-page list of individuals, groups and companies that had pledged money to its programs,” wrote Anita Kumar. “An employee at another Clinton Foundation offshoot emailed Verveer looking for a job for a former colleague. Yet another asked whether Verveer could persuade Myanmar’s internationally acclaimed leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, to attend an event.”

Clinton-supporting websites jumped into overdrive to try and debunk these articles as nothing more than conspiracy theories, chalking them up to “Clinton rules”—a term coined by former Vox chief political correspondent Jonathan Allen to refer to perfectly legal things that, when done by the Clintons, seem to be a scandal.

As for the Politico article, Clinton’s supporters note, just as Vogel does, that nothing about the use of tax dollars was illegal. They also say other presidents have used such money. And for The Times article, Clinton supporters say it’s actually an article about how the foundation did not receive special access, because the passport was denied.

None of this changes the other Clinton scandals, though again, supporters have tried to downplay the Associated Press discovery that more than half of those who met with Clinton while she was secretary of state also donated to the foundation.

These three reports pale in comparison, however, to what we learned about Clinton herself on Friday. The FBI revealed information about their interview with Clinton over her private email server and the mishandling of classified information, and now it’s clearer than ever that Clinton is incompetent.

This woman, touted by many in the media and by Democratic politicians like President Barack Obama as the “most qualified” person to ever run for president, thought the “(C)” on her emails—which denotes classified material—referred to… paragraphs marked in alphabetical order. Yes, this allegedly competent woman thought people put paragraphs in alphabetical order and that, for some reason, only the third—or “C”—paragraph needed to be marked.

Clinton also couldn’t give the FBI “an example of how classification of a document was determined,” according to FBI notes. She said she didn’t remember “receiving any emails she thought should not be on an unclassified system.” Oh, and she also could not recall receiving training on how to treat classified material.

Yes, let’s put her in charge of the country.

If you’d like some more laughs over Clinton’s incompetence, refresh your memory of her inability to work a fax machine or find a radio station.

pay no attention to the fact that 'each government agency' has its own 'criteria' for making something 'top secret'... next, after 40+ "hearings" and spending over $7million, the republican 'council' have brought ZERO charges. it can only be that the conservatives just don't have the backbone to press charges? or it's not an issue to anyone except conservatives who believe everything they've been reading on their conservative misinformation sites?  so, as trump lies to them daily, all they can say is 'lying hillary'.. stay tuned for more 'lying hillary' comments.

And you're obfuscating the issue of the Top Secret/SAP information that Hellery passed about in her non-secure emails and stored on a server any fool could hack. Agent and operative lives are a dime-a-dozen, so let's give a secretive old bat a pass while prosecuting and convicting servicemen who take undistributed selfies for posterity.

Emails that passed through Hillary Clinton's private server while she served as US secretary of state reportedly contained intelligence so sensitive that it has since been marked beyond "top secret," Fox News reported on Tuesday.

The network reported on the contents of a letter aut****d by Intelligence Community Inspector General I. Charles McCullough III. The January 14 letter to senior lawmakers has not yet been made public.

"To date, I have received two sworn declarations from one [intelligence community] element. These declarations cover several dozen emails containing classified information determined by the IC element to be at the confidential, secret, and top secret/sap levels," the letter read.

"SAP levels" refers to Special Access Programs (SAPs) that are meant to sa***uard information deemed more classified than even "top secret."

"It is the most sensitive of the sensitive," a former senior law-enforcement officer told Fox News. "There is absolutely no way that one could not recognize SAP material."

Intelligence is allocated to a special-access program when "the vulnerability of, or threat to, specific information is exceptional," according to Executive Order 13526, which was signed by US President Barack Obama in late 2009 and details how to properly handle and protect classified national-security information.

Yes of course, hubby Billery can meet at obscure airports to discuss grandkids with any Obama appointee who might be interested in joining the Clinton Foundation staff.

And so old wild bill can urge illegals to vote. Funny, 8 years almost, this time, and the broke a** gimmethats are still broke, but still buying the lie that the demoslops give a flip about them cause they toss them a crumb every now and again.

Only, the Executive branch can bring criminal charges, not Congress. Congress may use a civil action to force the Executive branch to do certain things, such as spend money appropriated by congress for the designated purpose.

Most are missing a most important fact.  Even if email were not classified at the time sent or received, the email was eventually classified, while the original message remained on one or more of the servers Hillary used.  As soon an she realized that such was transpiring, she should have ceased the operation.  Then, switched to State department servers and email and reported the server to IT for appropriate actions.

as i said in my original statement 'misinformation sites' ... if it came from faux news.. it has to be fauxual. exactly how many emails were 'top secret' or MORE at the time of sending/receiving? can any of you answer that? how about how many were deemed 'top secret' after the fact? any answers among the 'highly informed' conservatives on our forums?

do any of you conservatives even remember why hillary's emails were ever even brought up? oh yea, it was to convict her of not sending more people to benghazi... after the republicans, in congress, slashed the 'embassy security' budget... stay tuned for more faux news misinformation.. and 'lying hillary' comments.

Too lazy to check phony liberal "news sites" are you! Try Huffing post when they were enamored with "Let's be Venezuela" Sanders and quoted the soon to be Clinton News Network :

Why Bernie Sanders Must Address the Top Secret SAP Intelligence on Clinton’s Email Server

I guess now that Bernie is out, that article didn't happen since it dates to the BC era (before Clinton).

Obviously, the four emails with pictures from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency were top secret -- those are born, live and die top secret.  Not, necessarily from the picture but for the clarity/resolution.  As I stated before, it doesn't matter if the emails were classified later.  That, the emails were allowed to exist on six different servers, unprotected, is a major problem. Then, there's the emails that existed on all those different cell phones (about 13).  Remember, Hillary claimed there was only one. 

Crash, you're writing about something you obviously have no experience.  Have you ever had a security clearance?  And, no, its not a breach of security to admit one has had one, or even the level.  I've filled in those spaces on numerous military forms, which weren't classified.

This 2011 email was included in a batch of more than 3,000 pages of Hillary Clinton emails that were released at 1 a.m. Friday

I might also note that removing the classification banner from a document doesn't make classified information non-classified. Also getting a subordinate to do the deed doesn't absolve Hellary either.

what exactly did the fbi director say about this 'email scandal' today? any of you 'well informed conservatives' got any information on that?

meanwhile, trump gets a free pass on daily lies. didn't i see a new scandal on trump hiring illegals to work? ha!

Obama's co-thug Comey has dissenters in his ranks and former FBI agents are livid with the present director becoming another J.Edgar Hoover and making the FBI a political tool of the left. Here is his memo to quash dissension in the ranks:

http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2...ges/09/07/comey2.pdf

I have no faith that a Obama operative will punish anyone for deleting and "bleachbitting" subpoenaed "yoga and wedding" emails weeks after those responsible received the subpoena. I suspect that a Republican would be pilloried for destroying evidence and charged accordingly. Nixon was a rank amateur compared to modern demoncraptic politicians!

what exactly did the fbi director say about this 'email scandal' today? any of you 'well informed conservatives' got any information on that? - Crash.

I missed that.  Was it anything like his testimony before congress or did it contradict it?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV6q9LOubfc

Crash, excluding me, posters on this forum toss the word "liar" around referring to each other like a sail cat.

Putting personalities aside for a moment and what ever you, me, or anyone may think of another, clearly Hillary lied to you.  Just like Bill did.  To your face.  In your face and under oath.  And 39 times she dodged FBI inquiry with "I can't recall.  I don't remember."  That is her testimony to you.  If POTUS, how many time are you willing to hear that in a State of the Union address and let it slide?  She is lying to YOU.  And to paraphrase Hillary's fake colored accent, you don't seem to be in no way offended.  You think she respects you for that?

Her whole time as Sec. of State can best be summed up as "on the job training" gone horribly wrong, leaving the obvious question "why did Obama appoint her in the first place?"  What were her qualifications?  She was no political student as was Condi Rice and certainly did not have the training of a Colin Powell.  And what, pray tell, did she learn from her experiences that would even qualify her to be Sec of State again should the opportunity arise?  She was a failure.  Pure and simple.  And the next POTUS is going to spend half their time digging us out of the hole she dug.  You want her to keep on keeping on digging us deeper?

 

and how many times did conservative 'god' reagan say 'i don't recall/remember' under oath? the fbi doesn't believe there was a reason to prosecute. i don't know how many times conservatives need to hear the same report.  they've been trying to find any reason to prosecute hillary for in excess of two years... dontcha think they'd bring charges if they could?

Once more, only the executive branch can bring criminal charges. The old independent prosecutor law ran out and was not renewed. FYI, Obama is head of that branch.  I've mentioned this before.  Is there a disease running thru the Dems that causes memory loss?  If so, perhaps they need medical attention and quarantine if contagious.   

since dire can't understand or wishes to resort to 'semantics' to try and defend the conservative position on hillary... HOW MANY TIMES HAVE THE CONSERVATIVES IN CONGRESS ASKED TO PRESS CHARGES AND BEEN DENIED?  just like benghazi... how many times do conservatives need to hear the same information, before it sinks into that thick skull?

When we have the blood brother of Hugo Chavez as president, it doesn't matter how many times conservatives ask for prosecution of his underlings, no matter what evidence is present. The answer is always no!
