Hillary Clinton Is Not Having A Very Good Week
[guest post by Dana]
Terrible week for Hillary Clinton. The email scandal won’t go away in spite of her team attempting to convince us that it’s just a bunch of “nonsense” that comes with being a presidential candidate.
Except that none of the other combined 21 candidates is facing a criminal investigation into their email.
And now, on top of her already not very good week, Clinton finds herself being shamefully surpassed in the polls by a member of the white patriarchy. As if watching her lock on white women voters slip away wasn’t enough…
Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has rocketed past longtime front-runner Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, a stunning turn in a race once considered a lock for the former secretary of state, a new Franklin Pierce University/Boston Herald poll shows.
Sanders leads Clinton 44-37 percent among likely Democratic primary voters, the first time the heavily favored Clinton has trailed in the 2016 primary campaign, according to the poll of 442 Granite-Staters.
Vice President Joe Biden got 9 percent support in the test primary match-up. The other announced Democrats in the race, former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee and former Virginia Gov. Jim Webb, barely register at 1 percent or below.
…
The Franklin Pierce/Herald poll shows that most New Hampshire Democrats are lukewarm to Clinton, despite her campaign’s concerted effort to soften her image and connect with voters.
Just 35 percent of likely primary voters say they are “excited” about Clinton’s campaign, according to the poll. And 51 percent of voters say that while they could support her, they aren’t enthusiastic about her White House bid.
In the same poll taken back in March, Sanders was trailing Clinton by a by a 44-8 margin.
Further worries for Clinton:
“Washington sources say Vice President Joe Biden is waiting in the wings for the Obama administration to run her over so he can step in and run for president.”
Poor Hillary Clinton. Not only must she be on guard from that ever-present vast right-wing conspiracy, but now a left-wing conspiracy as well!
(Imagine if you will, Biden and Trump both in the race. The competition for sheer outlandishness and audacity will ramp up immeasurably…)
And speaking of Clinton, don’t miss this hilarious parody of her email scandal. Because she keeps giving so much material to work with.

Dana (86e864) — 8/12/2015 @ 5:41 pmand this is *after* Megyn bloody well handed her every talking point on her wish list in front of a record-breaking audience
happyfeet (5546fb) — 8/12/2015 @ 5:43 pmI know when I have boring emails that my wife asks to see, I delete the emails and destroy the hard drives.
It’s because I have nothing to hide and I don’t want her to be bothered with such trivial things. This is how we know this “scandal” is just a right wing conspiracy.

My God, Clinton camp goes all Pajama Boy on college debt… That’ll catch her up to Sanders: How does your student loan debt make you feel? Tell us in 3 emojis or less.
Dana (86e864) — 8/12/2015 @ 6:18 pmWhen I was 18 and first registered to vote I was, believe it or not, a Democrat.
By the time I was 19 I was convinced Democrats were a mortal threat to the country.
And that was before I figured out the devastating effects of their policies. I just looked at the people who they were willing to vote into office and I was like, holy mother of g_d!!!

Dejectedhead (ec3741) — 8/12/2015 @ 6:43 pmThe movie that just keeps on giving! I may be one of the few people who have ever seen the real movie with the real dialogue.
I predict Clinton will never be called to account for her criminal acts. She will somehow arrange a deal where she surrenders her law license and slither off to a dark cave under the Misty Mountains and grow increasingly bitter and paranoid about “my precious” until the mountains themselves crumble to the sea.

Herr Professor Doktor Ernst-Gunter Schenck. He developed nutritional supplements for the SS at Dachau and tested them on prisoners. One of them involved a “rabbit starvation” type experiment of a protein sausage which killed 370 prisoners. It goes good with the baby-killer posts, too.

f1guyus (9cbd15) — 8/12/2015 @ 7:36 pmI love the dude in the NY Post article to which Dana linked who gives us the old shopworn bromide that “the coverup is worse than the crime.” Maybe, just maybe, in this case the crime is actually worse than the coverup. I would sure love to find out.

I don’t think I needed that talk but evidently Hillary! did. And didn’t get it.

Steve57 (5a07a9) — 8/12/2015 @ 7:54 pmHillary! needed a talk about being a good American. I am more amazed by this then her needing the talk about not compromising classified.
Steve57 (5a07a9) — 8/12/2015 @ 8:18 pmExpect this is merely Obama trying to gum up the works for Hillary ’16. It won’t ever get near an indictment, but it will allow The One to pick the Dem candidate. Question is, WHO? Sanders is too white and a loose cannon. Cue rehashed Neil Kinnock Socialist nonsense speeches for Ol’Hairplugs in 3….2…1…. Beau Biden telling dad with his dying breath he should run will be the BS story of the year.
Bugg (5f4a83) — 8/12/2015 @ 8:23 pmWhat I will never understand-the Clintons had the “men on a couch” photo and a whole lot more on Obama. They never deployed their vast pile of dirt on The One. Will they unload their magazines or take this shellacking quietly?

I don’t get that at all. Obama desperately needs a Democrat to win next year, since even the feckless and feeble GOP is likely to hollow out (if not repeal) Obamacare if they win the Presidency and hold Congress in 2016. They also could seriously slow down the progress that the left has made with the federal bureaucracy (especially the Justice Department). And most importantly, Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be 83 next year and Steven Breyer will be 77. Couple that with both Scalia and Kennedy soon to turn 80 and the next President may end up with as many as four Supreme Court appointments, especially if he or she serves two terms. Despite what he may personally think of Hillary!, Obama would be making a huge wager to try to push Biden or Sanders over the finish line. He is a big enough narcissist to think he can do it, but I would have guessed he would act with more caution.
JVW (ba78f9) — 8/12/2015 @ 9:36 pmWe should have a contest: Name the most credible Democrat candidate. It’s not as easy as it looks.
So far we have:
Hillary ClintonJoe Biden
Bernie Sanders
Liz Warren(not this year, thank you)Governor Whatsisname from Baltimore
Some senator’s son from Rhode Island
Jim Webb(believes in America)Who else? Jerry Brown? Andrew Cuomo? Cory Booker?
Kevin M (25bbee) — 8/12/2015 @ 9:41 pmWhatever became of Biden?
Has anyone heard a thing?
Once he shone on his own,
Now he sits home alone,
And waits for the phone to ring.
Once a fiery liberal spirit,
Ah, but now when he speaks he must clear it.
Second fiddle’s a hard part, I know,
When they don’t even give you a bow.
“We must protest his treatment,” Joseph,

Who else? Jerry Brown? Andrew Cuomo? Cory Booker?

happyfeet (5546fb) — 8/13/2015 @ 3:49 amI agree that Obama is holding the DoJ over Hillary. If she even twitches toward criticizing his policy toward Iran, boom !
Mike K (90dfdc) — 8/13/2015 @ 5:44 amNew Hampshire is kind of a home game for Sanders, though. He and the missus also made valuable contributions to the local arts.

Other winners of the NH Democratic Primary include Paul Tsongas and Gary Hart. Oh, and Hillary!

The left are great with promises; performance, not so much.
The inquisitive Dana (f6a568) — 8/13/2015 @ 7:29 amWow. With Sanders in there it looks like the US version of the Red Brigade.

Her defenders are of course circling the wagons, but their story is just as ridiculous as Clinton’s.
Yeah, well, it’s not their call. What the IGs are talking about publicly is not originated by the DoS. The DoS is a member of the IC due to their Bureau of Intelligence and Research, but they produce intel that is tailored to support the DoS.
The IGs are not talking about information from the INR. They have mentioned information originated by other members of the IC.
So we run into the little problem of Originating Classification Authority. If the information is produced by other agencies, as the IC AGs have said, then the DoS has no authority to determine if that information is classified or not. The OCA makes the call, and if the information has already been classified by the OCA at another department or agency then no one at State has any authority to reclassify it or declassify it.
Frankly I don’t think the Secretary of State has the authority on her own to declassify any classified information.
So if, and I’m just throwing out examples, the originator was the Defense Intelligence Agency or the Office of Naval Intelligence then they have the only say as to whether that information was classified and when.
It doesn’t matter what Mr. Slater or anyone at DoS has to say about it; they weren’t the OCA.
And Hillary!s week gets worse.
The highlighted portion is just flat wrong. We know Hillary! sent those emails. She sent them to Platte River Networks. Some people at Platte River Networks my have an active security clearance but clearly not all the employees do, and it is not an accredited facility for handling and storing classified information.
So by turning over the contents of her server to uncleared members of the public she sent those emails. That meets the definition of publishing classified information, as if she wrote a book without submitting it for a security review or sent all her emails to wikileaks. Legally there is no difference.
Steve57 (5a07a9) — 8/16/2015 @ 6:15 pmA couple of links, just so everyone knows nothing I said is classified.
http://fas.org/sgp/clinton/eo12958.html
As you can see, it’s marked “For Immediate Release” by the WH press secretary. WH press secretaries aren’t given classified information to release to the public. Only unclassified information.
Then the Director of Central Intelligence, based on the authority of E.O.s like this one, was in charge of establishing that uniform government wide system. The DCI did that by issuing DCI Directives or DCIDs.
https://fas.org/irp/offdocs/dcid.htm
Everything I’ve said is in the public domain. I have no idea what the current system consists of, but what is in the public domain has been how this system had worked for decades.
