The intended outcome here is two-fold.  ♦ #1 Any Inspector General will now have to ask a white house appointed cabinet head for approval to access investigative material; obviously this gives an automatic heads’ up to the White House.  ♦ #2 The investigative material is now subject to being hidden from the investigators; obviously this allows unlawful conduct to remain hidden.

WASHINGTON DC – The Obama administration formally announced that inspectors general will have to get permission from their agency heads to gain access to grand jury, wiretap and fair credit information — an action that severely limits the watchdogs’ oversight capabilities, independence and power to uncover fraud.

An opinion, issued by the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel, says the Inspector General Act of 1978 — which was written by Congress to create the government watchdogs in order to help maintain integrity within their agencies — does not have the authority to override nondisclosure provisions in other laws, most notably in regard to grand jury, wiretap or fair credit information.

WASHINGTON –  Hillary Clinton’s email problem, long on the back-burner, boiled over again this week as two important and related developments turned up the heat.

Late Thursday, The New York Times reported that the inspectors general of the State Department and intelligence agencies are seeking a criminal investigation into the handling of “sensitive government information” on Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

The reason emerged in a Friday report by The Wall Street Journal. Despite denying earlier this year that she sent any “classified documents” over email, the inspectors general found that Clinton had sent at least four emails containing classified information derived from the intelligence community. She did not, obviously, attach “classified documents” to her electronic messages, but she did send messages containing information that remains classified even to this day.[…] (more…)

In an inspector general (IG) review of the first forty emails, the IG finds 4 that contain classified information (that’s 10%).  Previously Clinton said she turned over 30,000 emails (50,000 pages).  Do the math, from the sample, and there’s a strong possibility that hundreds of classified emails were transmitted from Hillary’s unsecured private email system during her term in office.

The intelligence IG immediately referred the matter to the FBI.

WASHINGTON DC – A review by a top intelligence official has found that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sent at least four classified messages from the private email server she used while in office.

The Inspector General of the Intelligence Community sent a letter to members of Congress on Thursday saying the emails from Clinton’s server should have been classified as “secret.”

A copy of the missive was obtained by The Wall Street Journal. The four emails “were classified when they were sent and are classified now,” Andrea Williams, a spokeswoman for the inspector general, told the newspaper. (more…)

As we have continued to outline, it is important to understand the interests of the CoC.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the Wall Street construct to look out for the best interests of stock valuations.  The CoC then pays lobbyists to bribe Senators for support for Wall Street’s best interests.

Peel all the skin off the onion, get to the rotten political core, and this is ultimately the source and origin of the GOPe angst against Main Street via attacking Donald Trump.

(Via Reuters) Washington lobbying by companies and groups involved in global trade boomed in the past nine months, records show, as Congress debated a landmark trade pact proposed by President Barack Obama, the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

Lobbying expenditures by members of a pro-TPP coalition increased to $135 million in the second quarter of 2015, up from $126 million in the first quarter and $118 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, according to Senate Office of Public Records reports reviewed by Reuters. (more…)

Hillary Clinton spoke out in Greenville, South Carolina, today about the current controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood over two videos of officials talking about harvesting and selling fetal organs.

(Via GretaWire)  I am well aware of that. I don’t have all the facts but planned parenthood has apologized for the insensitivity of the employee who was taped and they will continue to answer questions for congress and others, but for more than a century planned parenthood has provided essential services for women. Not just reproductive health services, including access to affordable family planning, but cancer screenings, for example and other health checkups and I think it is unfortunate that planned parenthood had been the object of such a concerted attacks for so many years and it’s really an attack against women’s rights to choose, to make the most personal, difficult decisions that any women would face based on her faith and her medical advice that she is given. So I am hoping that this situation will not further undermine the very important services that planned parenthood provides. (link)

Donald Trump doesn’t want to run as a third party candidate.  Trump isn’t stupid or politically naïve, and he understands the complexity of trying to organize the apparatus and political machine that would be needed.  Trump has repeatedly stated he is running as a Republican, to gain the Republican nomination for President.  Period.

However, Trump is also not blind to the scope of the establishment GOP professional political interests that view him as a risk to their seat at the financial trough.

Let’s Trump the Establishment! We are no longer silent. We will Make America Great Again! https://t.co/u25yI6aIvG

Trump gives an interview to “The Hill“, one of the more notorious psy-ops publications, who facilitate both optics and narratives of the GOPe and the Democrat machines.  As you read their published article, remember they have a vested interest in stirring up worry, fear and anxiety about a third party run.

The AFL-CIO, Rick Perry, The White House, Democrats, Progressives and the Professionally Republican, all Fear The Donald !!

His passport requires no photograph; He once went to the psychic, to warn her; It is said he won a staring contest with his own reflection; Sharks have a week dedicated to him; His business card simply says “I’ll Call You”; He had an awkward moment, on purpose, just to see how it felt; Mosquitoes refuse to bite him purely out of respect….

Oh dear….

Much to the angst of the media, the establishment GOP, the professionally republican and the left-wing moonbats, Donald Trump not only leads the poll, but favorable opinion of him is higher than Jeb Bush.

Mr. (202)228-0292 scores a complete ZERO. And Mr Smarty Glasses goes from his all time high of 3% back to his customary 1%.
