On Saturday President Obama told CBS he found out about Hillary’s personal email use via news media reports. Yesterday an editor at Gawker, John Cook,  told CNN he personally emailed Josh Earnest questions about the Hillary personal email use in 2013 asking about records and appropriatness.

Today Josh Earnest said President Obama and Hillary did email each other, but President Obama didn’t actually know about Hillary’s email issue…. or something similar. Maybe. Well, um, you decide:

“The point that the president was making is not that he didn’t know Secretary Clinton’s email address, he did. But he was not aware of the details of how that email address and that server had been set up or how Secretary Clinton and her team were planning to comply with the Federal Records Act.”

As Politico puts it: When pressed on whether Obama was aware that Clinton was conducting business over her private email, Earnest responded, “the point is the president did email with Secretary Clinton. I assume that he recognized the email address that he was emailing back to,” before saying that the important issue is whether she complied with the Federal Records Act. (link)

With the entire Madison tribe of the Dindu Nuffins engaged in full media spin mode…..  It did not take long for the liberal Madison Wisconsin crowd to ID the police officer involved in the Tony Robinson shooting. The Daily Mail continues the story HERE.

Tony Robinson was a 19-year-old street thug (Dindu Nuffin’ clan) who was previously involved in an armed robbery (April 2014) and pled guilty in October 2014 (case details).

Robinson pleaded guilty to armed robbery in October [2014] and was sentenced to six months in jail but a judge stayed the execution of the custodial term. He began serving a three-year probation period in December (link)

Ironically if the judge had carried out the sentencing term, Tony Robinson would be alive today.  Ultimately he was sentenced to three years probation, and can be seen in this picture above wearing his ankle monitor.  Robinson’s Twitter Account is HERE

At the age of 17 Robinson became a father and was sued for child support in 2014.   As a member of the Dindu Nuffins’ his family is customarily well versed in making excuses for his behavior and claiming the angelic felon was planning on attending college. (more…)

They tried the ‘We Shut S**t Down’ approach. It Didn’t go over too well. Hat Tip Froggie for Video:

(Via Think Progress) On Saturday, President Obama spoke at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge on the 50th anniversary of the attack on voting rights protesters known as Bloody Sunday.

“Our march is not yet finished, but we are getting closer,” he said. ” If Selma taught us anything, it’s that our work is never done – the American experiment in self-government gives work and purpose to each generation.”

It’s interesting how Debbie Wasserman Schultz chooses to crop the picture:

Yesterday the White House spokesperson Josh Earnest suggested that President Obama first knew of the existence of a secret Clinton email account after reading about it in the recent papers.  Today President Obama confirmed that espousal:

In interview with @plantecbs, Pres Obama says he learned of Hillary Clinton's private e-mail use "the same time everybody else learned it."

Today, Politico is reporting the White House knew specifically about the email accounts in August of last year (2014), and the Clinton aides asked white house officials not to immediately act on anything:

(Politico) The White House, State Department and Hillary Clinton’s personal office knew in August that House Republicans had received information showing that the former secretary of state conducted official government business through her private email account — and Clinton’s staff made the decision to keep quiet.

Sources familiar with the discussions say key people in the Obama administration and on Clinton’s staff were aware that the revelation could be explosive for the all-but-announced candidate for president. But those involved deferred to Clinton’s aides, and they decided not to respond. (link)

Further in the Politico article it cites the timeline of August 2014 notification came as a result of the Select Committee on Benghazi and their inquires into communication within the State Dept. between Hillary and other officials. (more…)

As customary with the Obama Administration…

WASHINGTON DC – The White House Friday implied that President Obama learned former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton exclusively used a private email account only after “reading the newspaper.”

“I have no idea when the president first learned,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters of the simmering controversy. “I wouldn’t be surprised, however, if he had learned about that by reading the newspaper. The president has a lot of things on his plate. I’m not sure the details of a senior administration official’s email arrangement lands on the president’s desk with any regularity.” (more…)

President Obama and AG Eric Holder have created the ultimate BGI extortion scheme in direct alignment with attorneys Daryl Parks and Benjamin Crump. A grievance win-win. Parks and Crump have announced their intent to sue on behalf of the Mike Brown family; the ONLY evidence for their wrongful death claim is the DOJ investigation.

If Ferguson agrees to the DOJ investigation finding, the Parks and Crump lawsuit carries automatic admission of wrongdoing, hence liability.   Ergo, today….

[…]  Moving forward, Mr. Obama said the city must clean up its act or face legal action by the federal government.

“It was an oppressive and abusive situation,” the president said of police practices in Ferguson. “The city of Ferguson will now have to make a decision. Are they now going to enter into some sort of agreement with the Justice Department to fix what is clearly a broken and racially broken system? Or, if they don’t, the Justice Department has the capacity to sue the city for violations of the rights of the people of Ferguson.” (link)

Democrat Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has been off the range for several months. Menendez has been a thorn in the political side of the Obama administration on issues with Cuban relations and nuclear talks with Iran. Today the White House strikes back.

According to breaking news, coming from the Dept of Justice to CNN, Senator Menendez is anticipated to be indicted on federal corruption charges for a quid-pro-quo deal, selling political influence on behalf of a major donor.

Back in January of 2013 the FBI raided the West Palm Beach business of an eye doctor suspected of providing free trips and even underage Dominican Republic prostitutes to U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J.

(Via CNN) […]  People briefed on the case say Attorney General Eric Holder has signed off on prosecutors’ request to proceed with charges, CNN has learned exclusively. An announcement could come within weeks. Prosecutors are under pressure in part because of the statute of limitation on some of the allegations.

[…]  The government’s case centers on Menendez’s relationship with Salomon Melgen, a Florida ophthalmologist who the senator has called a friend and political supporter. Melgen and his family have been generous donors to the senator and various committees the senator is associated with.
