The Sadly Dazed And Confused Hillary Clinton
[guest post by Dana]
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her staffers employed an informal and sometimes haphazard system for exchanging and storing sensitive information and were at times either unaware or unconcerned with State Department policy, documents from an FBI investigation into her private email server system show.
The documents reveal a myriad of new details about the email set-up and show that investigators found multiple attempts by hackers to access Clinton’s system — a series of personal devices and servers that the Democratic presidential candidate told investigators she used as a matter of convenience while she was secretary of state.
The materials, which include a summary of the FBI’s entire investigation as well as Clinton’s hours-long interview with agents in July, contain no major revelations. But they offer new details that Clinton’s political opponents will be able use in the months leading up to the November election. The summary shows that Clinton’s account to law enforcement was generally consistent with what she has said about her email situation publicly, but she repeatedly told agents she could not recall important details or specific emails she was questioned about.
The NY Post summed up Clinton’s recklessness:
In addition to the thousands of Clinton e-mails the State Department has found to hold classified data, the FBI ID’d 81 classifed e-mail chains — eight of them “top secret.”
Clinton used at least 13 mobile devices at State. Some were properly destroyed afterward — but others just went missing.
She didn’t even know how classification worked: “Clinton could not give an example of how classification of a document was determined.” And, in one example, she didn’t even realize that “deliberation over a future drone strike” — a highly classified issue — was “cause for concern regarding classification.”
After news broke of her private setup, she tried to completely wipe all her records. In the end, she failed to hand over at least 17,448 work e-mails.
Though she denied it again to the FBI, her goal throughout was plainly to evade the Freedom of Information laws: Whenever anyone else — from Colin Powell to techies at State — noted that a course of action would mean leaving records that might become public, she chose a different path.
Clinton was also unable to remember Very Important Things such as official training on how to maintain State records, how to send and secure classified information, any of the State’s email policies, and what her name was.
Also, in Hillary Clinton’s professional life, things sometimes just disappear:
Anyway, one would have expected Donald Trump to be tweeting up a storm about this latest confirmation of the irresponsible, dishonest, and even dangerous decision-making of his opponent, but then again, it’s Donald Trump we’re talking about. Any other candidate would have pilloried her. Which makes you wonder why he hasn’t:
Also, any other candidate would not have been so cavalier about handling State secrets and the security of the American people. Any other candidate would not have considered herself so above the law that she could just disregard for the rules. And maybe, just maybe, if you can’t even remember what the rules of security are, and can’t remember that the big “C” on an email doesn’t stand for Confused, you shouldn’t be allowed to hold any position of power that could directly, or indirectly, endanger the lives of others.
Been dazed and confused for so long it’s not true. Wanted a woman, never bargained for you. Indeed!

UPDATE BY PATTERICO: Here’s my own take on the matter, which I drafted as Dana was drafting this and decided to append as an update to her post:
The Most Boring Headline Ever: New Revelations About Hillary’s Emails
I know, right? Like the parade of lies by Donald J. Trump, the steady stream of new revelations about Hillary Clinton’s emails becomes numbing after a while. There are so many that it’s difficult to keep track of them all. We could read a story proving that Russia, China, and ISIS had all used Hillary’s stolen emails to learn the identity of every undercover operative in the world, and on some level we’d be thinking: wait, didn’t we already read this story somewhere? I can’t remember!
But there are new revelations from the FBI’s release of investigative notes from the investigation, helpfully released the Friday before the three-day Labor Day weekend.
One of the fun facts we learned just before the long holiday weekend: potentially recoverable emails may still exist on a laptop that was put in the mail and then disappeared:
E-mails that Clinton sent and received through her private server during her tenure were archived on the laptop in 2013 by a person who was an assistant to former President Bill Clinton, the FBI said in its heavily redacted investigative report released Friday.
Someone whose name was redacted in the FBI report told the agency that he later deleted the e-mails from the laptop but didn’t wipe its hard drive. A computer technician can often recover such e-mails that have been deleted but not permanently erased from a laptop’s memory.
The FBI sought the laptop as part of its investigation, but it’s whereabouts remain unknown, the bureau said: The last time the laptop was seen was when it was put in the mail.
Nice, huh? Here’s another cute tidbit:
“Clinton stated deliberation over a future drone strike did not give her cause for concern regarding classification,” the notes said.
This would make a great subject for a series of questions at Clinton’s next press conference: How is disseminating information about a contemplated drone strike not cause for concern? Can you think of any topic that would create “cause for concern”? And so forth. You can easily picture such questions being asked, can’t you? Of course you can’t, because 1) she doesn’t hold press conferences, almost ever; and 2) when she rarely does, questions like that don’t get asked, because media.
Sheesh. It’s difficult to imagine anyone being more cavalier with sensitive information. I can think of only one person who might be: Donald J. Trump.
Heckuva job, electorate!
UPDATE BY PATTERICO: A commenter complains that the tweet embedded in Dana’s post was published before the FBI release. OK . . . for the record, here are all the tweets Trump has put out since the tweet embedded by Dana, as of the publication of this post. Count how many there are about the Hillary emails. I’ll do it for you: zero.
UPDATE x2 BY PATTERICO: The same commenter notes that Trump (OK, Trump’s campaign) has put out some press releases about the FBI release. Here’s one:
“Hillary Clinton’s answers to the FBI about her private email server defy belief. I was absolutely shocked to see that her answers to the FBI stood in direct contradiction to what she told the American people. After reading these documents, I really don’t understand how she was able to get away from prosecution.” – Donald J. Trump
I’d bet the deed to my house that this is a lie, and that Trump has not read the documents. He watched something about them on TV. He got some flacks to write up a couple of statements about them but can’t be bothered to tweet about them (which is how you know he cares about something) and sure as hell didn’t read anything, because the man doesn’t read, because he is a moron.
ADDED: This Ted Cruz ad is spot-on perfect, especially after yesterday’s news dump:

No, no, no! We will need James Comey to arrest Trump for violation of Article XI of the Constitution: “No Badgerheaded Buffoon shall seek to diminish the Dignity of the Office of the President by aspiring to It.”
Just kidding. I agree with Steve57. This is a slam-dunk case in the hands of a competent prosecutor. The fix was put in on the tarmac in Phoenix and Lynch gave Comey his marching orders.

so Mr. Trump chose to make a statement instead of a tweet big hairy deal
happyfeet (28a91b) — 9/3/2016 @ 10:20 amthat statement was released the day the corrupt fbi reluctantly released the embarrassing documents btw
happyfeet (28a91b) — 9/3/2016 @ 10:22 amWhat a world…
I remember folks, here, in 2008 and 2012, insisting that they were sitting out (or not voting, like Mr. Feet, repeatedly) Presidential elections because there was “no difference” between BHO and John McCain or BHO and Mitt Romney.
Notice, by the way, people who defend the ultra bizarre Trump slavishly who call (and continue to call) McCain and Romney weird and infantile names.
Anyway, many of us tried to convince the “sitter outers” that it was a binary choice; that there certainly were differences between the candidates, and you had to choose the lesser of two evils. These people responded (often crudely) otherwise.
Yet some of these very same people NOW are claiming that choices are binary!
The hypocrisy is staggering.
Trump is a terrible candidate, who continually flubs superb opportunities to help himself and his campaign. Clinton is a terrible candidate as well. What an awful situation.
But no worries, Patterico. The Trump supporters will continue to shriek and carry on, calling people names and distracting from what has to be the worst choice in American history for President.
No matter what they have said in the past.
Simon Jester (cff76b) — 9/3/2016 @ 10:24 amAll Trump cares about is keeping his mouth-breathers fired up so they’ll keep donating to his “self-funded” campaign. Flying around the

That’s all exclusive from what’s going on today. The next President will either be Hillary or Trump. That’s our choice. And even if we don’t make a choice, the rest of the electorate will make one for us.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 9/3/2016 @ 10:44 amWith so many Republicans bailing on our most reprehensible nominee, the lesson of the primary season is that a vote for Trump was a vote for Hillary. I am not responsible for your magical thinking. If you send us a nominee we can’t stomach, don’t expect us to vote for that nominee. The cause and effect couldn’t be clearer; I’m sick of the blame shifting. If Hillary is elected, it will be because you nominated Trump. Period.
Principled Republicans should vote Clinton and move us closer to a Cruz victory in 2020.
My heart yearns for that pig’s defeat, too. Next time, send us a nominee who will get the job done.

Steve57 (747e61) — 9/3/2016 @ 10:59 amhappyfeet,
Why wasn’t Trump prepared and ready for the inevitable Friday-3-day-holiday-weekend news dump? Why wasn’t his team on top of this, and the candidate’s stubby fingers posed on the keypad ready to assault Clinton on whatever the media would try to slide by when no one was watching? It is utterly aggravating, and interestingly self-defeating that he is so bad at this.
Dana (995455) — 9/3/2016 @ 11:01 amhappyfeet, you’ve been the poop police since when? When did you get your commission?
Steve57 (747e61) — 9/3/2016 @ 11:02 amDana, I think Trump expects to lose. He sure isn’t trying to win very well.
Clinton is such an awful candidate that he has a small chance.
I have a theory.
I think the original plan was for Hillary to run with Obama as VP in 2008. This would have, to DNC thinking, locked the White House down for 16 years.
Except Hillary was such an awful candidate that Obama ate her lunch.
I think it is the same thing with Trump. He wanted exposure and media without doing any work.
Then the other candidates went away.
So here we sit, choosing the kind of fecal material to put into our POTUS sandwich.
Awful.

happyfeet (28a91b) — 9/3/2016 @ 11:09 amSee what I mean? Such energy put into not voting….but still moving his mouth with weirdo statements (while calling other people weirdoes, of course—sort of like Trump).
Cruz Supporter, I understand your point of view, but I do not agree. I believe that honesty and consistency are important (honor, too, but I will take what I can get). I also think that the completely bizarre argument that Obama was “no different” from McCain or Romney is what helped create Trump’s doomed candidacy.
Seriously, I keep reading former “conservative purists” (like Mr. Feet) insist that the current choice is so stark we MUST vote for Trump…while just a few years before there was “no difference” between Obama and candidates who are FAR more conservative than Trump has ever been.
Hypocrisy is a terrible thing no matter who does it.
Simon Jester (cff76b) — 9/3/2016 @ 11:23 amMr Jester,
But Mr happyfeet isn’t on the ballot.
This is not an election between Mr happyfeet vs Hillary vs Trump.
So, sure, maybe Mr happyfeet didn’t vote or he made bad moral equivalencies in the past.
But Hillary’s going to ram left wing garbage down our throats. She’s going to nominate left wing thugs to head the various federal agencies and bureaucracies. We can’t endure four more years of that. We just can’t.
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 9/3/2016 @ 11:32 amno i never said weirdo willard and food stamp were same same
i rooted for weirdo
happyfeet (28a91b) — 9/3/2016 @ 11:42 amAgain, I understand your point of view, CS. I really do. I honor your honesty and sense of fairness, and lack of childishness.
My point is that folks on the Right decided that they could get snarky and nasty and weird, just like the Left. The difference is that, when elections arrive, the Left all get into lockstep.
The Right never has.
So people who are more honorable than Trump (that means almost everyone), more honest than Trump (again, almost everyone), and more conservative than Trump (everyone except, I think, Kacich) were damaged in the eyes of the public. So they went for someone who seemed impervious to criticism.
Except he is a terrible and lazy candidate.
And I wonder what the effect will be if he DOES win? More Trump like people on both sides?
I have always believed we ought to have a “None of the Above” option on ballots. And when that happens, the election has to start over.
As it stands, we have awful choices. What I cannot abide are people trying to claim that voting for Trump is somehow a good thing.
And here’s the thing. Over and over again, Trump gets wonderful opportunities to show he is able to be a real candidate. The closest he came to doing this was the Mexico visit. I also thought his visit to Louisiana was a good idea.
But all the childish crap will cost him his chance.
Again, what an awful choice. And I do think all the childish nastiness in the Body Politic has put us in this place.
Your mileage may vary, and I wrote all the above while respecting your content and style.
Simon Jester (cff76b) — 9/3/2016 @ 11:42 amOh, Mr. Feet. Do you really want me to chase down your sick and bizarre comments during the last election and post them?
You know, another election in which you didn’t vote?
Maybe you forget what you write. I hope so.

Simon Jester (cff76b) — 9/3/2016 @ 11:53 amShe pulled the same stunt in the Whitewater investigation escaping prosecution because Starr’s deputy said despite the mountain of evidence they didn’t relish the idea of trying to win a criminal case against a First Lady in the DC circuit – nothing’s really changed since then they’re still chicken.
The political case Trump and others should be pressing is the widespread utter disregard for communication security and the law by ALL the people involved in this mess. The government officials participating in Hillary’s homegrown communication network all work for Obama – he’s ultimately responsible. The lawlessness and corruption wouldn’t exist if he didn’t allow it. Rather than argue about why Hillary should’ve been indicted somebody should be pressing the case against Obama doing nothing to stop or punish Mills, Sullivan, Huma and the other hundreds of Obama appointees.
Letting Hillary skate is bad. Letting them all skate is unimaginable.
crazy (d3b449) — 9/3/2016 @ 11:53 amColonel, I have to admit to you that I have never ever voted in a Presidential election where I was 100% pleased with my choice. My first vote was Ford against Carter.
So we may agree more than you suspect.
I do detest all the silly name calling. That’s my quirk, perhaps, but I do think that a toxic political environment is not good.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 9/3/2016 @ 12:00 pmDana we can second-guess Mr. Trump all day long but that does nothing to diminish the righteousness of his quest
happyfeet,
It’s one thing to plug your nose and vote Trump only to keep Hillary out. It’s one thing to fully understand that both candidates are dishonest, corrupt, and altogether lacking integrity and vote the lesser of two evils. That argument I can understand. And even respect. But, when you attempt to make Trump into this man of good character and noble intentions in his run for the presidency, then that is full-blown delusion. Don’t try to make me buy your bullshit. Because that’s what it is. Trump’s “quest” is no more righteous than Hillary’s. They’re both self-serving egoists who exist in insular bubbles of privilege and entitlement. And they’re both willing to do whatever it takes to attain more power. Let’s keep a realistic view of them, even if you are voting for one or the other. Deceiving yourself, and attempting to deceive others about them helps no one.
Dana (995455) — 9/3/2016 @ 12:01 pmYes, Simon, and I regret my many contributions to the less than optimal level of discourse. I have to fight my enjoyment of playing “the Dozens”, as I’ve always appreciated a well-played insult… either incoming, or outgoing.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 9/3/2016 @ 12:05 pmSimon, being an Orange County, Ca. kid, I’ve never even considered voting for a Democrat, as I’ve long sensed the biased environment the Dems have enjoyed, even as an 8-yr-old during the Kennedy-Nixon campaign. I detest most of the media.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 9/3/2016 @ 12:09 pmi don’t buy that narrative Dana I see in Mr. Trump a fundamentally good person
flawed sure, but mostly in the sense that he’s a flawed politician
he doesn’t meet all the cloying and insipid expectations people have no he does not
but that we live in a society what produces Mr. Trumps is a good and wonderful and hopeful thing
and he’s a good example for kids unlike stinkypig clinton who’s never had a real job her whole stinky life
and he’s an American guy through and through, and he loves this country and he’ll try to put it back on track if we give him the chance
a small fraction of stick-up-the-butt failmerica may find him just all too outre and rakish
but not me
i think he’s better than we could have hoped for this time around

DCSCA (797bc0) — 9/3/2016 @ 12:28 pmIt would not surprise me in the least if an updated dictionary in Russia (soon to be the reincarnated Soviet Union), has, under the heading “Useful Idiot”, a full color picture of Hillary Clinton.
The more we see about her handling of classified information, the more it is apparent that she simply cannot be trusted around any classified information, let alone Top Secret and Special Category material. She is either totally incompetent, or she just doesn’t give a damn.
Having at one time had both Top Secret and Special Category access, I know that material contains information that is extremely sensitive, the release or loss of which could lead to great harm to the national security (which is kinda the definition of the classification level). This idiot apparently doesn’t understand this.
“Clinton stated deliberation over a future drone strike did not give her cause for concern regarding classification…”. Really? Are you kidding me? A discussion of possible future military operations didn’t give her concern about classification? Words fail me.

DCSCA (797bc0) — 9/3/2016 @ 12:39 pmOne way or the other, Cruz will spend the next four years working to keep the Washington elite honest. It is the same bully pulpit he used to catapult himself to national prominence and a second place finish. Only this time he will have the benefit of past experience and national prominence to propel him. Either nominee should provide ample opportunity for Cruz to do what he does best: shame the shameless. As the presumptive Republican nominee, he’ll be more formidable than ever. It is the one thing I’m looking forward to.
I don’t think you understand how the Republican Party works (the Democratic Party works very much the same way). The first runner-up in one cycle is the nominee in the next. Nobody blamed first runner-up Romney for McCain’s defeat in 2008. To the contrary, they made Romney the nominee in the 2012 cycle. They blamed McCain for McCain’s defeat. Nobody blamed first runner-up Gingrich for Romney’s defeat. Instead, the nominee and first runner-up in this cycle were the two most Gingrich-like candidates in the field and Romney was blamed for the loss in 2012. Why should anyone believe it will be different this time around? I sure don’t.
ThOR (c9324e) — 9/3/2016 @ 12:48 pmBasically, Hillary’s security was a mess because she did not give a shi-ite about it. After all, her “friends” across the world were above such things as petty politics and national interest. She and her UAE buddies and her jovial Russians will put on their thinking caps and keep the world stitched together at one CGI confab or the other, and they’ll all get rich too, but while doing good.
I knew a judge who actually thought all the lawyers and doctors and investigators whose income depended on her rulings were her “friends” and that all their flattery was sincere. So willingly naive it’s disgusting.
Patricia (5fc097) — 9/3/2016 @ 12:53 pmSheesh. It’s difficult to imagine anyone being more cavalier with sensitive information. I can think of only one person who might be: Donald J. Trump.
You think not.
Billionaire deal makers are pretty responsible with sensitive information and know how to use it to their advantage with so much at $take. Like how much they’re truly worth; what they really pay in taxes; where they $helter investment$ offshore; the combination to Cliff Barnes’ safe… even the phone numbers of their adversaries mistresses… but the phone number of a certain southern senator… not so much.
JR might not read everything thing but you’d lose the deed to your castle if you think he couldn’t follow the direction on how to bake a batch of cookies. Maudie… not so much.

happyfeet (28a91b) — 9/3/2016 @ 12:58 pmPatterico,
Why should Trump talk about the FBI release early in the weekend? You know he’s just going to say something at some rally on Monday or Tuesday about the FBI report showing that Hillary has brain damage. Then we’ll roll into the week with the talking heads going on and on with “Trump is lying about Hillary’s brain damage.” Then everyone will be talking about Hillary’s brain damage that she says she doesn’t have, she’s just really grossly incompetent.

Gerald A (76f251) — 9/3/2016 @ 1:19 pmMy theories lately don’t turn out well. I wanted Ted Cruz, donated to Ted Cruz and did some work for Ted Cruz. I’m a loser.

At the Trump inaugural, your ‘binary’ choice will be chicken or steak…
Firoina will be your seating hostess; Perry will do stand-up (oops!- he’s got a million of ’em!); Rubio will bus tables; Cruz will keep the butter dishes and water glasses filled; Jindal will serve up the Trump steaks along the buffet table. Chef Christie- need we say more… with Walker washing dishes and Huckabee drying. Graham… your hat check girl, of course.

There is always someone at a poker game who just knows the right way to play a hand, but never antes in. They usually continually criticize how other people play the game, and try to tell them what would have been better.
While not ante-ing-up.
The folks who do ante in generally suggest that person either ante in, or shut up. It tends to interfere with the poker game. People who ante in have real skin in the game, no matter how they play.
The other person, not so much.

Patterico’s #NeverTrump aphasia now on to destroying the parts of his brain that can process sarcasm, having already destroyed his sense of humor, proportion, fair play.
I’ll let @ClarkHat decide what to do with him after the election (note that getting into a woodchipper/no woodchipper binary with him is discouraged, better not to mention it at all.)

It’s almost like the reasoning is he’s for Trump, and that reason alone.

And let’s be clear, this IS war.
The left is evil, and ideally we must defeat them.
But at the very least, we must stem the tide of the left, and that’s what we’ll accomplish by electing Trump over Hillary; we’ll stem the tide, at least for a little while.
lets do more of this, shall we:

In an Era of Populist Feeling And Executive Action, they’re about as relevant to national governance as the Queen of England. They did not use their powers against the executive, and are already divided among themselves. Without their own Trump-like figure, they will remain divided and irrelevant, the least scary oligarchy in Washington.

narciso (732bc0) — 9/3/2016 @ 6:25 pmProbably we all agree that Clinton’s lies and behavior and likely crimes (had you law enforcement and prosecutor) are really extraordinary. Not just in their volume but in their depth, meaning the severity of potential consequence to the nation.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, what has he done that even comes close to Clintons transgressions that causes such hatred by the NeverTrumpers?
Their attacks, like Patterico’s, are juvenile and presumptuous: Trump can’t or doesn’t read and he’s a moron. Really? How do you come to this conclusion?
And he’s so awful that the NeverTrumpers would rather have Hillary?
Really… and with her election the likely demise of any near term hope of conservatism regaining a foothold in the US government?
So what has Trump done that is so incredibly damning and horrible?
I’ve looked, but it all seems pretty small ball. He’s by no means perfect, but one does not become a real estate billionaire by being perfect.
Nor does one become a senator or governor.. any senator or governor… without some type of questionable choices.
Look in the closets of any one running for president in the real world, and you’ll find something that probably disgusts you.

You realize that you’ve just described Patterico and Dana and a bunch of the other posters here, right? Always bitching and moaning about what Trump *should* have done in his campaign?
And oddly enough never noticing that his, ahem, unconventional campaigning beat the snot out of 16 other “well qualified” Republican candidates. While spending pocket change while the others were spending hundreds of millions of dollars.
The True Conservative establishment — NRO, Weekly Standard, G. Will, etc. — have been shoveling sh*t on him and dumping on him for over a year. And he won handily. He’s letting them dig their own graves — and they don’t even notice that they’re getting deeper and deeper. All without him saying a word against them, just maybe a tweet now and then. But TRUMP is the incompetent one who can’t run a campaign.

As for the various “True Conservative establishment” #neverTrumpers (NRO, Wkly Standard, the neocons, the TV talking heads, Wolfowitz, etc.) it’s almost as if they were some wing of a generic “uni-party” type club of which they are the Washington General branch. The designated losers who are getting paid to fulfill the roll of losing.
As for the various blogger #neverTrumpers, some of them are just mobies & trolls, some of them are just stupid, some of them fell in love with their candidate and can’t get over that their guy lost, some of them have gone into the neverTrump rabbit-hole and got lost in it, some of them are just virtue signalling.
These ones hang out at blogs and a dozen or two shout and shriek and think that since all 10 regulars agree that Trump is dirt, that the entire nation thinks the same way. Even when it is pointed out to them that they are in an echo chamber, they don’t get it.
For some of them (actually, I think, a lot of them) got the idea in theit heads that all the Kool Kids hate Trump, so they are mimicking the Kool Kids, thinking that this will make themselves become a Kool Kid, too. The Russians had a phrase for this class of people. “Useful Idiots”

Um, no. My point is that Mr. Feet goes on and on about politics, coming up with infantile names for politicians he doesn’t like, insisting that we must all support his candidate….and doesn’t vote.
Hasn’t voted.
Carried on the same way for the last several elections.
Says he is too busy to vote.
Kind of a different deal. I’ll take as many Pattericos and Danas as you can find, given the kinds of contributions they make.

YMMV.

I understood today, from listening to what former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said, and didn’t say, on Face the Nation, that Comey lied about an incident in 2004, when he and White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card maybe tried to get then-Attorney General John Ashcroft, who was in the hospital, to sign something that had to do with anti-terrorism measures. I think maybe with continuing some kind of surveillance program. Gonzales was White House counsel at the time.
John Dickerson asked a question, alluding to the fact that it is in the book Gonzales had just published, about something whose source is apparently Comey – I think Dickerson may even have mentioned that there are different versions of what happened there – and Gonzales said he wrote about it in his book (but he would not repeat, even extremely briefly, what it was that was in the book) and he said, more than once, that he had testified under oath.
I think what Gonzales had to say was that Comey’s story was not true. I should know more about this.
I don’t know if Comey was also under oath.
Gonzales said that he and Andrew Card discussed Ashcroft’s condition before they went to the hospital and that if he were incapicitated they wold not have asked him to sign anything. I also recall that Ashcroft refused to sign it, although I am not sure if that was on the merits or because he felt he should not make a decision then. I should know more about this.
Gonzales also said that members of the Congressional Committee he spoke to (before the hospital incident I think) wanted to continue the program. And then the next week there was the Madrid bombings.
This was some kind of issue with some Democrats. The issue maybe was that it was illegal but some Justice Department lawyers said that could be fixed by Ashcroft signing something. Or was theer something due to expire? I think in the end maybe somebody else signed.
This came out years – or at least a year or two – after the fact, but I think while Bush was still president.

Here’s something about all this:
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/07/what-the-ashcroft-hospital-showdown-on-nsa-spying-was-all-about/
Comey went public in 2007, in forums favorable to the Democrats. I think it is possible that Comey wanted to limit NSA surveillance in order to protect corruption and bog-time criminals. There may be other arguments for limiting it, but that’s what I think was his motive – at least maybe to help lawyers in private criminal lucrative criminal defense practice, where he perhaps, at the time, was thinking of going.
The NSA surveillance was limited to foreign intelligence matters, but it could slop over, or be extended, and the terrorist groups could also strike an alliance with criminals, or use the same people for money laundering and so on. And then some people engaged in big time drug smuggling maybe might get caught in the net and then they wouldn’t have the money to pay their lawyers. That’s the way I’m thinking, because I don’t think Comey was honest.

Sammy Finkelman (9570ad) — 9/4/2016 @ 9:34 amHillary got asked numerous quesiton about e-mail about a drone strike, Evidentaly there was an extended discussion about whether or not a certain drone strike should take place in Pakistan.
The FBI asked her separately each and every e-mail.
The problem is that it was illegal (unless you say it fell under self-defense) and a violation of Pakistani sovreignty, and all drone strikes outside of Pakistan and Iraq were done, not by the military but by the CIA, and as a result were classified secret in a way that military secrets were not. They were secret really for diplomatic and maybe legal reasons. Like the secret bombing of Cambodia and Laos during the Vietnam War.
Hillary tried to make people believe that a request to print a New York Times article about drone strikes was what all the retroactive classification business was about.

That’s exactly what they told the New York Times, and they said there were three things they thought Donald Trump was sensitive about. One was the amount of his wealth.
My feeling is, she’ll mention that, but that’s not really the strategy. It may be to get him to argue about something and defend a statement where he’s both clearly wrong, and the issue doesn’t matter.

narciso (732bc0) — 9/4/2016 @ 10:38 amThe first 3 months of Hillary Clinton’s e-mails as Secretary of State are not preserved. So how could she have an e-mail from Colin Powell from January 22, 2009?
I thought Colin Powell said anyway he wrote an e-mail later than that, one year into her tenure.
Colin Powell is now said to have told her that if her use of her Blackberry became “public” her emails could become a part of “official record and subject to the law.”
He is also supposed to have said:
“Be very careful. I got around it by not saying much and not using systems that captured the data.”
Earlier it was reported that Hillary Clinton had said there was a meeting with several former Secretaries of State at the home of Madeline Albright which Henry Kissinger and Condoleezza Rice
also attended, at which Albright asked each of the former Secretarues of State for one salient bit of counsel, and Powell supposedly said she should use hwer own e-mail. Powell said in August he had dno memory of that.
He also said to People maqazine that her people were trying to pin this on him.
And he issued a statement saying that his use of private email was discussed in Chaprter 16 of his 2012 book “It Worked For Me” and that he had sent an e-mail discussing his e-mailing more than a year after she started using it, and that he had no copy of the email but perhaps the FBI or Hillary Clinton did.
And now we’re hearing an e-mail from Colin Powel was sent on January 22, 2009? In which he almost sounds like he’s conspiring with her to evade Freedom of Information Act requests? I don’t think Colin Powell is all that honest, but still, what’s going on here?
Colin Powell also said in his statement in August that he had the private e-mail to encourage them to improve their system. What’s in the book was that at that time most State Department computers were not connected to the Internet, and at the desks that had some connectivity, there were usually two computers, both connected to internal State Department networks, one classified and one unclassified. The only Internet access was through dedicated computers shared either by an entire office or an entire floor.
He talks more about the connections with the embassies. They eventually decided they could use the Internet for a lot of things.
He says he installed a laptop computer on a private (land)line. That way he could send e-mail to his principal assistants, or ambasssadors, or even to foreign ministers of other countries. One who refused to go online was Igor Ivanov, the Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation. So as a result he was able to quickly look up something via Google (a prior United Nations resolution) and tell him exactly where a proposed Russian resolution contradicted an earlier UN resolution (as his staff in New York was saying, but he was not familiar with the details)

narciso (732bc0) — 9/4/2016 @ 11:06 am206. The issue had to do with the collection of Internet metadata with at least one endpoint outside the United States for the most part (to get which messages actually had to be scanned) for possible later data mining.
I think maybe this used to be re-authorized every month or so or whatever and Comey didn’t want to put his name on it.

AUMF = Authorization for the Use of Military Force, passed in 2001, authorizing the war in Afghanistan, among otehr things..

Perry has better sense. He’s 66 years old, he served longer as Texas governor than anyone in history, but he’s not very rich and he can make money and have more influence on the sidelines than he could as a junior senator in Washington.

narciso (732bc0) — 9/4/2016 @ 11:30 am228. Bleachbit was used by the Colorado firm.
In December, 2014, after Hillary Clinton’s ;awyers had settled with the state Department of John Kerry, but before anything became public, they told the company in Colorado to delete its backup.
(The New York Times story wrongly says “A year earlier”
But they beglected to do so.
After the private email became public in March, 2015, the person in Colorado realized that he neglected it and proceeded to delete ithe e-amails in the most through possible way.
Now Mrs. Clinton had already been told by the committee not to delete anything. She claims they had no further contact or at least responsibility for the deletion that took place after that, because ghis was just the guy rememering to do something he had forgotten or neglected to do in December.
Sammy Finkelman (337057) — 9/4/2016 @ 11:31 amAbout that UJSB drive with the contents of Hillary’s email:
I suppose it could always turn up if needed, like the Rose Law Firm billing records. Maybe after the Statute of Limitations has expired.
http://www.nytimes.com/1996/01/06/us/elusive-papers-of-law-firm-are-found-at-white-house.html?pagewanted=all
[Note: An almost certain forgery, by the way. But mention of the Wall Street Journal in that note reminded me of the e-mail I sent to president@whitehouse.gov, routed through Rochester, on July 19, 1993, but which would not have been delivered – and possibly printed out – until July 20. It mentioned the July 19, 1993 Wall Street Journal editorial about Vincent Foster and I used it to to “prove” that reporters knew more than what they wrote. And I said reporters would be released from their pledges of confidentiality if the FBI Director was fired. And I mentioned in particular what the FBI Director could say about Waco – how he was kept from the scene and how hisis water cannon plan was rejected in favor of tear gas. I had mentioned this on RIME just a day or two before – and lo, they produced this note. I think they maybe didn’t even find or notice the printed out e-mail till I mentioned it.]
Note: There is some suspicion those billing records were forged – that is, written or altered years after the fact – to make her look like she did some legitimate legal work for Madison Guaranty, or more work than she did.
Sammy Finkelman (337057) — 9/4/2016 @ 11:33 amTheer may be a contradiction between Huma Abedin and otehr State Department employees.
Three career State Department employees who are dilomatic security agents say she always kept her Blackberry in her desk drawer on the seventh floor where she worked, which is a Secure Compatmented Information Facility, where such wireless devices are not supposed to be. (that’s because they could be turned into eavesdropping devices if hacked, or used by the owner to record meetings or photograph things if properly set up to do so.)
But Huma Abedin says she took it out to check Blackberry, often going to the 8th floor balcony.
She apparently never went into the room where a private computer had been put for her convience.

Some of her closest aides were aware she had a private e-mail address, but were not aware that she had her own ISP and server.

Bill H (971e5f) — 9/4/2016 @ 12:00 pmPlatte River Networks in Colorado, along with the other technology firms associated with the email account, was told by the Trey committee on March 4, 2015, two days after the New York Times revealed he existence of the personal e-mail account, to retain “all relevant documents” related to its inquiry.
Yet the archive was deleted later. Of course the question would be, does the word ‘documents’ cover that, since it is computer files and not a “document”, and also does it apply, since the computer files deleted with the help of Bleachbit are not about her e-mail account but the contents of the email account itself. Anyway, somebody didn;t want to get caught not having deleted something earlier.
Also, I don’t think the New York Times says speificaally that they Trey committee knew about Platte River Networks at that time.

Of thise 179 emails Sideny Blmenthal sent 24 were later marked classified, meaning in some cases that he had accesd to classified information or information of the type to be classified.

DNF (755a85) — 9/4/2016 @ 12:54 pm@ Steve57: I think there’s a pretty sharp limit to what paid advertising could do to improve Trump’s negatives. But I think there’s a lot to be done in terms of motivating anti-Hillary turn-out, and the Trump campaign isn’t even making a serious attempt to even match Hillary’s paid media advantage. There is, of course, nothing he or anyone could do to offset her unpaid-media advantages, which makes it all the more critical that he have been on the air in selected states full time since the GOP convention.
So what’s the Trumpkin excuse for this? Why is their big-shot candidate who knows everyone, who knows how to work the system, who could supposedly write a check to make up this differential (if he really is worth $10B+), neither writing that check nor raising funds through other means? Why is Trump’s campaign failing to do what even the most inept and stumbling past GOP campaigns have recognized to be essential?
He’s got 11 million Twitter followers. Is that still the plan for winning the general election?

LD: You and I were literally sitting across from each other at the Met Ball, and it was so surreal to get to do that.
I was sitting next to Odell Beckham Jr., and it was so amazing because it was like he looked at me and he determined I was not the shape of a woman by his standards. He was like, “That’s a marshmallow. That’s a child. That’s a dog.” It wasn’t mean — he just seemed confused.
The vibe was very much like, “Do I want to fuck it? Is it wearing a … yep, it’s wearing a tuxedo. I’m going to go back to my cell phone.” It was like we were forced to be together, and he literally was scrolling Instagram rather than have to look at a woman in a bow tie. I was like, “This should be called the Metropolitan Museum of Getting Rejected by Athletes.”
AS: You were dressed like a boy, and you looked sexy, and I really appreciated you showing me your tits several times.
LD: I loved this year when you were like, “I’m not fat, and I’m not skinny, and why do I have to be in this plus-size category?” after a magazine called you plus size on their cover. I know it ended up being a fucking pain in the ass for you, but what I was so glad about was that you were just being like, “Why, when you see a woman and she has 18,000 contributions to the world, would your desire be to place her in a random category you came up with?”

There was a conference call between him, Cheryl Mills, David Kendall (The Clintons’ main lawyer) on March 31, 2015, but he was advised by the Platte River Networks lawyer (during his FBI interview?) not any conversation with Kendall on the grounds that it was protected by attorney-client privilege.

Committee letter to Platte River Networks dated August 22 2016:
http://www.denverpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/08_22_2016-homeland-security-cmte-sst-treve-suazo.pdf
Phone calls, voicemails and emails didn’t work and finally their attorney sent an e-mail demanding that the committee communication in writing, which the committee letter said, apparently does not include e-mail. Platte Rover’s lawyer sent an e-mail saying Platte River refused to accept electronic service.
Some background ( and I don’t fully get the picture)
http://www.denverpost.com/2016/08/23/platte-river-subpoenaed-clinton-e-mail-saga/ Platte, which in 2013 won the bid to host the Clinton family’s e-mail, began working with the new client that June. The company took the physical server, which had been at Clinton’s home, and moved it to a data center in New Jersey.
But as past e-mail security breaches revealed that Clinton may have used her home server for classified business, the FBI picked up the server from Platte on Aug. 12, 2015, to see whether it had been hacked or whether there was intentional or gross neglect. It’s not clear to me why the Clintons contracted it out in 2013.

Clinton’s money advantage ain’t buying any love. The very high name recognition of both candidates coupled with their extraordinarily high unfavorable ratings lowers the utility of pointing out the various warts, lesions and chancres afflicting both of them via advertising.
Clinton’s advertising may well cut into her turnout. Seeing and hearing her appears to elicit more nausea than support.
Rick Ballard (3ff5f2) — 9/4/2016 @ 3:54 pm315. Back in 2001, Donald Trump sold the 45th floor of the Trump Tower to the Kingdom of Saudi arabia. It later became part of the Saudi mission to the United Nations in 2008. A broker sued Donald Trump for a broker’s fee, but she didn’t get it, and abandoned the lawsuit.
And back in 1985, Osama bin Laden’s half brother, Shafiq, often described the article said, as the Westernized opposite of Osama, paid a security deposit of $8,500 for an apartment, and lived there for four months in 1986.
That’s supposed to be the same thing as the Clinton Foundation taking $25 million and more from the Saudis.
It’s clear what the Saudis got for the money they paid Trump. But what did they get for what they gave Clinton?

he’s on his way to being elected for 13th term, so that means he’s heading to being re-elected a dozen times. There was a primary, but his opponent, besides not getting too much attention, was actually not very articulate, or maybe there wasn’t much knowledge of public affairs in his brain in the first place – the debate on WNYC AM 820, which dutifully did it, which I actually listened to most of it later on the Internet, after finding it, was almost a farce. He really was ignorant – I mean clearly not up to the job, although in any case most people would not be. He even didn’t want to say he was running because of the Iran deal. Why not!??
Of course, he was from Manhattan. A homosexual graduate of Yeshiva University (some years ago) believe it or not. He talked like that, too. Maybe under 30 years old. Involved in some technology business. There was virtually no news coverage of the election results. I still don’t know the percentage. You’d have to do diligent, graduate level research to find that out. I mean you’d have to think hard about finding a source. I’m sure it’s on some website. It’ll surely be published next year in the Almanac of American Politics, which, new, is very expensive. The New York Times didn’t publish it, I think.
Someone told me something almost like it not being worth voting, I don’t remember exactly what she said – but she’d expected a closer race – some attention. Ypu don’t even find out out what teh results are. You have to ask a friend or neighbor.

You notice the article is from before the primary. After the primary: dead silence everywhere.
It looks like he registered in New York in January 2008 (as a new voter he could pick a party) and voted in the Republican primary for president on February 5, 2008. He switched parties in August 2012, but apparently was in Los Angeles in November 2012, and voted there for president. He may have moved back to Los Angeles, in fact most probably did, and to a different address than here he lived before 2008.
In 2014 he used an affidavit ballot in November.
That’s a pretty small apartment. I don’t understand this. You can register in Los Angeles giving a Post Office Box as your address? Or was that on his re-registration in New York, except that he gave a Post Office Box in Los Angeles as his old address?? Or was this the address change that he gave to the Post Office when he moved, which got told to the Board of Elections when they sent him some mail, and it was Post Office Box because he didn’t know where he was going to live in Los angeles so he was having mail sent there? Do the people who wrote this article eevn know what they are talking about?
Apparently when he moved back to Los Angeles he registered as a Republican. The real reason for his switch was probably in order not to disenfranchise himself from voting in primaries in New York.

No, it wasn’t stupid, just plodding and unimaginative. I mean, she should have said she thought (C) stood for copyright – that unlike most government data, it was copyrighted, and so shouldn’t be copied and sent any place outside the government.)
Yes, to claim that she did not know what the classification marks were was preposterous, but to know that it was preposterous, you have to know more – you have to be pretty familiar with what she should know, or had shown evidence of knowing in the past.
The reason she lied about that is that she had made a claim that she got no e-mail “marked” classified at her private e-mail. Now, actually had happened about two or three times at least, in connection with her schedule. She could have said she forgot about that, but she probably didn’t because she was well aware of that and had taken steps to see that she should not get such e-mail any more.
The e-mails in question were something like her schedule for the day, which was routinely, otherwise, marked (C) for confidential – the lowest level of classification – and sent on the State Department classified system.
But she was not on that system. So it had to be sent to her on the unclassified system. A few times the aide who prepared that slipped up out of habit. Or maybe it was that most of the time it was sent to Huma Abedin on the classified system, but sometimes it wound up getting sent to her private e-mail address even though it usually wasn’t, maybe because there was a proposed change in her schedule that they needed her approval for.
Hillary Clinton probably instructed her people to, in such cases, not mark it classified – which she had a right to do, by the way – she could decide to classify that or not to classify that, and whether to classify this or not was certainly something within her discretion, but the practice had been to mark such things classified all the time. But the aide(s) sometimes slipped up, because she or he didn’t usually send e-mail directly to Hillary Clinton.
And when it happened that she received something marked classified she probably took corrective action. Therefore maybe it didn’t occur to her to claim she forgot about these rare incidents.
She knew. She had to know what the classification indicaors were. There’s even an email in which she tells her aide to strip the classification mark off something and send it to her, and she uses a State Department idiom for doing that. You mean she doesn’t know?
But she wanted to back up her claim that she had NEVER received any e-mail marked classified
Sammy Finkelman (337057) — 9/5/2016 @ 6:39 amNeo (d1c681) — 9/5/2016 @ 5:26 am
It did work for the purposes of escaping or preventing prosecution for perjury, or the special federal law about lying to federal agents like the FBI, and it was something she had every reason to expect would work, and that’s why she did it.
Prosecutors do not generally bring prosecution for perjury if they don’t have someone dead to rights, AND even then, only if it is a material fact that affected the outcome of some litigation or severely stalled an investigation for a significant length of time
OR
The real charges they would like to bring are much more serious, but the only one they can is perjury, maybe because of the statute of limitaitons, or a lack of adequate proof, or they let someone plead guilty to that alone as part of a plea bargain.
If someone says they didn’t rememeber something or they never learned something or they forgot, or acts confused or mixed up, how you are going to prove that that’s a lie? Making a “guess” isn’t even a statement. It’s just acting.
If someone is repeatedly lying they usually can pick out a lie that is really solid and contradicted by other things so they don’t even need to include anything like that. If there is aprosecution for perjury, prosecutors will pick out the most egregious examples.
And I’ll show you here how reluctant they are to prosecute lying to the FBI or how many chances they give people, or at least did here. Bill Clinton maybe wouldn’t even have been impeached if he’d been willing to correct the record in 1998. It seems like prosecutors do this all the time.
Sammy Finkelman (337057) — 9/5/2016 @ 6:51 amThe Platte River Networks person lied to the FBI in claiming he did not delete anything after his March 25 conversation with Hillary’s aides/lawyers, but the FBI allowed him to correct the record. Probably not to the truth, but to something less inconsistent with known facts.
He now says he did it, but he says they had nothing to do with it, and he never asked for any legal advice and so on like that, although, he’d already received the e-mail from Cheryl Mills not to delete anything more.

No, and I know the headwaters of the Platte River – actually two rivers – are less wide than in Nebraska, where it is a pretty serious river, although I read a long time ago, they used to ford it already in Nebraska.
I looked into it further, and I see the river runs right through the middle of Denver, Colorado, where Platte River Networks is located. So it is quite reasonable to name the company afer the river, esoecially if you’re trying to be vague about the services it offers, or who owns it.
In fact, it is the river that Denver sits on. And probably why the city is located there.
http://www.walkridecolorado.com/denver-metro-single-trails/south-platte-river-trail
I knew Denver was the “mile high city” I didn’t know there was a river running through it.
Washington Street, which I think was not the first location of the company, may even be near the river.
The trail crosses the South Platte River “just east of the Washington Street interchange.”

Scooter Libby never had his lawyer approach the prosecutor and say he wanted to correct the record, which is the way this is usually done. If a prosecutor allows someone to do so, they don’t prosecute. I think there may be an argument that it is the replacement testimony that counts. A person certainly can correct himself immediately, and probably on the same day without any trouble.
There was another problem there, also. Disclosing the identity of CIA covert agent (which Valerie Plame was not anymore in any real sense) was a separate federal crime. And he went to considerable lengths to fabricate conversations with reporters. Of course, you are right also in that he was a target.
Sammy Finkelman (337057) — 9/5/2016 @ 7:55 amOf course what the Platte River technician did was confess to destroying evidence that perhaps he personally was not culpable for (unless his intention was to obstruuct the investigation)
His second version was almost certainly not the truth, and arrived at in consulation with the Platte River and/or Clinton’s lawyers, but if his second version of the facts was to be believed, it was not something that he could be prosecuted for.
This FBI report took the tack of believing the final version of whatever anybody said.
There’s more patent lying to be detected among the other materials not released (mainly the 302s of the other people interviewed besides Hillary Clinton) according to what I understand Senator Grassley and Congressman Trey Gowdy to be hinting at.
Sammy Finkelman (337057) — 9/5/2016 @ 7:59 amThey lost the notes of the FBI interviewer, eichride, this is how much of a sham that trial was, only surpassed by the Stevens trial, where the FBI handler had a thing for their chief prosecution witness, William Allen.

I don’t suffer from wishful thinking. I believe the election results will comport very closely with the current RCP ‘no toss up’ map. There is a reasonable chance Rubio and Burr may drive turnout enough to flip FL and NC but Toomey, although he may win with crossover, will not drive turnout enough to flip PA.
Negative advertising has a very marginal effect when both the target and the alternative suffer from a surfeit of warts, lesions and chancres. The obvious choice of ‘neither’ militates towards an end result of depressing turnout rather than increased support for an unpalatable alternative.

I see in the Murray Waas book about the Scooter Libby trial (I have since found the book) that the name and title of of the FBI agent was Inspector John C. (Jack) Eckenrode.
I can’t quickly find what you are talking about. Is this an interview with Scooter Libby or with Tim Russert? The defense stipulated as to what Russert said.

It’s basic geographical fact that the further upsdtream you go on a river, the less water there is in a river.
And a map that shows you the river shows you the headwaters and it clearly goes into Colorado, or you could aybe more properly say, starts in Colorado. I know the Platte River splits into the North Platte River and the South Platte River.
In an Atlas I have since found the South Platte River going through Denver, and verified taht online.
If you want to argue that nobody in Colorado would refer simply to the “Platte River” well, I don’t know, but in New York we don’t usually say E. xx St or W. xx St. unless there is a reason. People omit the East or the West all the time. The North Platte River mostly goes into Wyoming, with maybe a tributary or two getting into northern Colorado, and you could probably jump over it, and it wouldn’t be deep enough to fish.

What’s all that about?
You mean there was some kind of an issue as to what kind of a position Valerie Plame had in the CIA, or what Scooter Libby thought it was?
How was any of this an issue? There was an issue of when Scooter Libby first learned that Valerie Plame worked there. At first he said it was from Tim Russert and/or other reporters. Later he said he learned that several months before from Vice President Dick Cheney, but had forgotten (at issue was whether he was discussing information known to the public, or not.)
So you’re right. Scooter Libby did try to correct the record, or at least tell a different story -but not completely, because he still said that Tim Russert had mentioned the name Valerie Plame in his conversation with him.
Now the thing is, none of that was the source for Bob Novak, and the “secret” that Valerie Plame was a CIA agent was not still important, or a secret really, and in any case she was no longer tthe kind of agent stationed abroad whom it is a crime to reveal is a CIA agent (because of the danger of being targeted for assassination)
And the fact she worked for the CIA was a crucial piece of disinformation by the CIA – “explaining” why Joe Wilson was sent to Noger although it wasn’t the reason at all, bit scooter Lobby thought it was.
The reason was that it was a way of evading Dick Cheney’s request to double check that information about Saddam Hussein having attempted to buy uranium from Niger, which resulted from forged documents – obviously forged documents in fact, that came from Italy and were vouched for by Tyler Drumheller.
the same Tyler drumheller whom Sidney Blumenthal later said wrote or was the source for many of the memos he sent to Hillary Clinton, which she forwarded to Jake Sullivan at state.gov after removing Sidney Blumenthal’s name, and asked him to forward to other people in the U.S. government after further cleaning it up, and to have them report back to her their reaction.
Hillary Clinton was tets-marketing disinformation for some foreign governments! Nobody understands this.
And those memoes that did not originate in the State Department contained information that was later marked classified, some of it probably originating from the NSA.
There are not many scandals – there is only one big scandal.
Sammy Finkelman (337057) — 9/5/2016 @ 8:56 amthe notes came from state, because that was the bureau, that wrote up the tell tale inr memo, that wrote about her tie to joe wilson, hence armitage who was as opposed to the war, was complaining about,

And I don’t think you have personal knowledge of the Battle of Saragarhi, but that doesn’t make you wrong. Although someone might want to look for more sources. I think I had good enough sources for where the Platte River goes.
Sammy Finkelman (337057) — 9/5/2016 @ 9:06 amTuoche, I suppose. You are right about me not reliving Saraghari. But this makes the headwaters of the Platte out of bounds, how?
Steve57 (747e61) — 9/5/2016 @ 9:14 amnarciso (732bc0) — 9/5/2016 @ 8:59 am
inr = ?
When Cheney inquired about why Joe Wilson was sent to Niger, ssibly at Scooter Libby’s instigation, whch in turn was probably prompted by a question from Judith Miller, the CIA cooked up this story about it being being because Valerie Plame was his wife.
You must realize this is a lie. If you don’t, you don’t understand what happened here at all. And the CIA circulated this disinformation throughout higher levels of the U.S. government.
And then when it wass leaked, they complained that an important secret was revealed and started a whole investigation. And the claim was made this was leaked as a form of retaliation against Joe Wilson, when the motive for publishing it would be that it “explained” why this nonsenical trip was made.
The real purpose was to avoid having to retract this claim that Saddam Hussein had attempted to buy yellowcake from Niger. Now this disinformation, if you understand it, benefitted Iraq, because, if it were true, it meant that Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program was all the way back to Square One – in fact Minus One, because in fact he didn’t get any yellowcake. But in fact Saddam Hussein had some enriched uranium and he certainly had uranium, which can be mined in Iraq. The whole program was in mothballs. He didn’t dare take anything out of mothballs, because it could get bombed.
I lost you here.
Sammy Finkelman (337057) — 9/5/2016 @ 9:17 amno, sammeh, joe wilson was sent there, precisely to debunk because of his exwife’s ties to cogema through gabon, he did admit that there was an iraqi envoy, zahawie who visited niger back in 1999

It’s not out of bounds.
But I mean, just like you can know something to a reasonable certainty about a battlefield, or about 1897, without having been there, I can know something – a basic fact – about the Platte River without having been there.
Sammy Finkelman (337057) — 9/5/2016 @ 9:20 amyes, he and powell, were opposed, in part because they were involved in azerbaijan, another predominantly shia country, run by a sunni ruling clique, the alievs.

Steve57 (747e61) — 9/5/2016 @ 9:40 amnarciso (732bc0) — 9/5/2016 @ 9:20 am
he was sent there NOT TO debunk it. He claimed in his first New York Times piece [http://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/06/opinion/what-i-didn-t-find-in-africa.html] that he’d debunked it, and that Cheney should have known this, but that was not true. He’d left it up in the air. Because the issue was not whether Niger had actually exported yellowcake to Iraq, but whether Iraq had sought to purchase uranium from Niger or signed a contract to do so.
He did nothing of the sort. In fact, he even found some “corroborating evidence” of a possible attempt to purchase uranium.
It seems like there was more than one source of this type of allegation. As I said, this actually weakened the case for invading Iraq, if you think about it. And it probably originated from Iraq or sources friendly to Iraq.
And them the claim was made that in spite of Joe Wilson’s “report” – which was never written – by him anyway – George Bush had still said 16 words in his 2003 State of the Union address
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDzPDOoTt5c
Maybe there is probably a problem also with the word “recently” but there was actually a concerted disinformation claim to make the U.S. and Britain believe this. because it weakened the case for an invasion The question wasn’t how evil Saddam Hussein was. The question was his capabilities and intentions. And he was at least 10 or even 15 years away from a nuclear bomb even if the sanctions were lifted, then the case was weaker.
Narciso:
What’s that? the important point was that he was once Ambassador to Niger and chargé d’affaires in Baghdad in 1990, and he was willing to play ball with whoever in the CIA wanted to keep this claim alive.
To avoid a complete debunking.

You can make serious mistakes if you have never been there – like the way British Prime Minister David Lloyd George placed Canton, China in a completely wrong latitude in China – but it is not the only way to avoid mistakes.
If nobody else you know, and nothing you read was written by someone who has been there, or had contact with someone who was there, or close, then you can have some problems.
All I said was that the Platte River was also in Colorado – and then I looked into it further and found that the South Platte River was even in Denver!
Now the Feather River – it’s hard finding ot where that is. But it seems like it runs near a city or town called Pulga in either Nevada, Utah or perhaps California.

2) Sometimes allowing some give
3) Getting the center(s) of gravity on land, or on something that goes into the water till it hits bottom.

Then Steve57 gave a link, which conatined an important clue: It was a tributary of the Sacranmento River. In fact, the “principal tributary” And it ran from Lake Oroville.
And I found it! It is north of Sacramento, in Sutter County. It isn’t very long. I didn’t find Lake Oroville, but I found Oroville.
