by Michael Krieger. Sending inconvenient truths to their grave. As I’ve said many times before, the best part about Hillary Clinton running for President, is that she’s so unbelievably corrupt and shady, not a week goes by without a new scandal or embarrassment. It makes the insulting charade of U.S. elections at least somewhat comical. In the ... MORE
A most convenient 2-month gap. Among the approximately 2,000 emails
that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has released from her
private account, there is a conspicuous two-month gap. There are no
emails between Clinton and her State Department staff during May and
June 2012, a period of escalating violence in Libya leading up ... MORE
by David Kravets. Somebody is lying. The government published its latest Wiretap Report on July 1. The
headline finding was that encryption wasn't foiling federal and state
law enforcement officials, despite a growing chorus of people suggesting
that we're all gonna die unless the tech sector builds backdoor access into their products to ... MORE
Provided material assistance to terrorists, then lied. In the course of my work at Fox News, I am often asked by colleagues to review and explain documents and statutes. Recently, in conjunction with my colleagues Catherine Herridge, our chief intelligence correspondent, and Pamela Browne, our senior executive producer, I read the ... MORE
by David Kravets. Thought Congress halted the snooping program Snowden exposed? Think again. A secret US tribunal ruled late Monday that the National Security Agency is free to continue its bulk telephone metadata surveillance program—the same spying that Congress voted to terminate weeks ago. Congress disavowed the program NSA ... MORE
The hard questions need to be answered. What if President Obama secretly agreed with others in the government in 2011 to provide arms to rebels in Libya and Syria? What if the scheme called for American arms merchants to sell serious American military hardware to the government of Qatar, which would and did transfer it to rebel ... MORE
by Jacob Weisberg. What is the responsibility of public servants who believe that the government is abusing its authority? In most cases, US law encourages them to expose wrongdoing. The Whistleblower Protection Act passed in 1989 protects “any disclosure” that an employee reasonably believes indicates the violation of laws or rules, “gross ... MORE
What we don't know does hurt us. On March 2, The New York Times revealed that Democratic Party presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton had used a private email account to conduct official business for her entire four-year tenure as secretary of state. Clinton emailed President Barack Obama on an insecure server hosted in her own home. ... MORE
Borrowing Bill's teflon. "This vast right-wing conspiracy," Hillary Clinton said, "has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced." That was the "feminist" first lady's response when her husband was accused of having sex with a 21-year-old. Bill was more lawyerly. He said things like, "It depends upon what the meaning of the ...

Having your own kill list. Thomas Cromwell was the principal behind-the-scenes fixer for much of the reign of King Henry VIII. He engineered the interrogations, convictions and executions of many whom Henry needed out of the way, including his two predecessors as fixer and even the king's second wife, Queen Anne. When Cromwell's son, ... MORE
by Trevor Timm. When it comes to classified information, some leaks are more equal than others. If you are a whistleblower like Edward Snowden, who tells the press about illegal, immoral or embarrassing government actions, you will face jail time. But it’s often another story for US government officials leaking information for their own ... MORE
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? Here is a short pop quiz. When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed Congress earlier this month about the parameters of the secret negotiations between the United States and Iran over nuclear weapons and economic sanctions, how did he know what the negotiators were considering? Israel is not a party to ... MORE
What has Hillary accomplished? It is amazing how a simple question can cause a complex lie to collapse like a house of cards. The simple question was asked by Bill O'Reilly of the Fox News Channel, and it was addressed to two Democrats. He asked what has Hillary Clinton ever accomplished. The two Democrats immediately sidestepped ... MORE
Do Democrats even care? What if Hillary Clinton's emails were hacked by foreign agents when she was the secretary of state? What if persons claiming to have done so are boasting about their alleged feats on Internet websites and in chat rooms traditionally associated with illegal or undercover activities? What if this is the sore underbelly of an .... MORE
A violation of national trust. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the former first lady, U.S. senator from New York and secretary of state, used a private email server for all of her emails when she was President Obama's secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. During that time, she enjoyed a security clearance identical to that of the president, the ... MORE
The next level of tyranny. Would a Hillary Clinton presidency rerun the corruption, secrecy, and paranoia of the 1990s? Sure, but that’s not the half of it. The larger problem would be a marriage of Hillary’s “Go to hell” attitude with Obama’s dangerous expansion of executive authority. What happens when someone who thinks “the rules don’t apply ... MORE
Big Brother has every one of them. Political attacks against Hillary Clinton often times make for good comedy, which is why during this Daily Show segment, Jon Stewart asks the following questions: "Don't
we have a facility in Utah that collects all of our emails, anyway,
solving the whole archive problem?" he asked. "Can't you just ask them,
or they ... MORE
