Official sought to keep Clinton emails off-the-record (State Dept protection racket cover-up?)
Washington Examiner.com ^ | 9/14/15 | Sarah Westwood

State Department email records suggest one official attempted to keep discussions about Hillary Clinton's private communications out of email messages that could one day become public through the Freedom of Information Act. Peggy Grafeld, an agency FOIA officer, encouraged her colleagues to "discuss, rather than email" critical information about Clinton's records, according to conservative nonprofit Judicial Watch.

Grafeld's message "shows that one of the agency's top officials for the records management and public disclosure did not want to create a written record about issues," Judicial Watch said. Other records obtained by conservative watchdog J/W show the collection of private emails Clinton turned over to the State Dept last year contain months of gaps during which the former secretary failed to turn over any records.

For example, the agency does not have any emails Clinton sent between her first day in office in Jan. 2009 to April 12 of that year, according to an internal State Department document. Officials also could not find any emails Clinton received between Jan. and March 2009. The messages she sent during her final month in office were also missing.

The gaps suggest Clinton may have withheld messages from those five months, despite previous claims that she had turned over all work-related emails from her tenure.

Hillary's claims were first called into question when Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime Clinton confidante, in June, gave the House Select Committee on Benghazi more than a dozen Benghazi-related emails involving Clinton that the former secretary had never given the State Department.

A State Department spokesman admitted Monday to missing emails from the first few months of Clinton's time as secretary, but denied the gap from Dec. 2012 to Feb. 2013.

REMEMBER WHEN? US Sen Dianne Feinstein (D-Cali)---Senate Intel Committee head---whined about the CIA looking through her computers, emails, and taking documents.

Hubby Richard Blum made millions in China deals....cutting deals w/ the Chi/Coms? How'd he do that?

Did Di use her access to valuable US classified security data improperly?

Did Di and hubby get help from Hillary's State Dept?

INCONVENIENT FACTOID As Head of the Senate Intel Committee--Di/Fi gets valuable classified ntl security intel via the State Dept.

Very valuable info on the global market...especially among America's enemies.

Are the Clintons in cahoots w/ Sen Harry Reid (D-Nev)?

The presidential-era Clintons bagged millions in kickbacks from the Chi/Coms for Loral Space technology---technology transfers paid for by American taxpayers.

There's also the $350 Million the Chinese government gave the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation" for "favors" Mr. Clinton performed for the Chinese (ala technology transfer).

That's quite a pile of illicit money....and there's a Harry Reid connection to the "Clinton Global Initiative."

===================================================

PUT ON YOUR TINFOIL HATS TO CONNECT THE DOTS:

(1) Harry Reid's son Rory is in business w/ the Chi/Coms on a multi-billion dollar solar energy project; Cliven Bundy and his land are standing in the way.

(2) Reports say Bill Clinton recently went to China to panhandle for his tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative" foundation.

(3) The "Clinton Global Initiative" (NOT KNOWN for giving out US grants)---gave Harry Reid's granddaughter a grant for her Brooklyn theatre (what is the Brooklyn theatre's connection to "global initiatives?")

(4) A Nevada energy company also gave Reid's granddaughter's theatre group a grant.

================================================

"Money laundering" comes to mind. Could the Chinese be financing the Reid's solar project through donations to the Clinton Foundations....which is then laundered to Reid's granddaughter?

================================================

REFERENCE----HARRY REID IS LIVID THAT HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OUTED AS A RECIPIENT OF LAUNDERED CAMPAIGN CASH---Reid lashed out at reporters, saying, “My granddaughter has been the target of harassing phone calls, strangers tracking her down, knocking on her door and negative, unwanted attention on the Internet.” “This has gone too far and it needs to stop now,” Reid said. “I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.”

============================================

Besides the "jewelry company" financed by her grandfather, Ryan Elisabeth Reid runs the Sprat Theater Company, a small theater in Brooklyn, which is also coming under scrutiny. According to Sprat’s Theatre Company Web site, it has received grants/contributions from:

<><> the Clinton Global Initiative (theatre connection to Clinton's global do-goodism?),

<><> two major Las Vegas foundations: Caesar’s Foundation, and the NV Energy Foundation.

NOTE NV Energy Foundation---is a non-profit division of NV Energy (a public utility). The NV Energy utility is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company which took over in 2013....and is now owned by a Warren Buffet unit.

BTW, here's Harry w/ his grand-daughter....the one who got $31,000 in laundered campaign funds for her "jewelry company" and grants from Clinton and Nevada energy foundations.

Reid and granddaughter Ryan Elisabeth Reid.

Republican investigative committees should be all over this and the many other scandals with weekly hearings. There should be a steady parade of people from this administration brought before the congress. But where are they all? And where is Trey Gowdy and the rest of the Republican leadership? They have lots of work to do but are practically invisible.

The Republican congress yet again fails to do anything beneficial for the country or produce any tangible results from the majorities that we gave them. They are total failures and do not deserve to be re-elected. If they are they will just continue doing nothing no matter who the next president is.

ANOTHER COVER-UP?

BACSKSTORY 2nd Amendment trasher Democrat Leland Yee, headed to prison
canadafreepress.com ^ | 7/3/2015 | Robert Laurie / FR Posted by rktman

Secret FBI meetings w/ Democrat Leland Yee contain details you'd expect of a mob thriller: murder for hire, gun running, marijuana farming, truckloads of contraband cigarettes and stolen liquor and political pay-for-play. The story is stranger still given the political corruption target.

Democrat Yee holds a doctorate in child psychology and has held elected posts on the San Francisco school board and Board of Supervisors, and has sat in both the California Assembly and Senate.

==============================================

Gun-grabber State Sen Leland Yee knew where to get missiles, launchers, machine-guns etc....how'd he know that?

Did Lee get any help from Sen Di/FI...and Hillary's State Dept?

SOURCE: http://www.state.gov/t/pm/rsat/c14027.htm

CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION OF ARMS TRANSFERS
Third party transfers are subject to requirements for Congressional notification under AECA, §3(d) (reference (c)), using guidelines similar to those for AECA, §36(b) (reference (c)) notifications (see Chapter 5, section C5.6).

A 30-day prior Congressional notification is required for third-party transfer requests that involve defense articles and services with original acquisition values that fall in one of the following categories: Major Defense Equipment (MDE) with an acquisition value equal to or greater than $14,000,000 for non-North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) recipients and $25,000,000 if the recipient is a member of NATO.....

......Australia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand or Republic of Korea; or any other defense article or related training or defense service with an acquisition value of $50,000,000 or more for non-NATO recipients and $100,000,000 or more for NATO, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand recipients.

Approval is granted after the 30-day (including weekends) period has expired if no objections are raised.

================================================

THE DI/FI CONNECTION.

BACKSTORY: Back in Sept 2014, Senate intel head Di/Fi was whining about the CIA looking through her computers and taking documents. Clearly, the CIA had plenty on her----even BEFORE the shocking Chi/Com missile scandal broke.

Di/Fi's known aversion to guns did not prevent her from honoring jailbird Lee's co-defendant, Raymond Chow---Chow is the key figure in Cali's Demorat state Sen Leland Yee's shocking missile deal w/ China (Yee is a notorious grabber of American guns).

INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS:

<><>Feinstein heads the Senate Intel Committee;

<><> Her hubby Richard Blum made million as the lawyer for Chinese interests;

<><> gun-grabber Leland Yee knew where to get missiles, launchers, machine-guns etc;

<><> Co-conspirator Raymond Chow was jailed, then freed when he professed to be a “really nice guy”.... honored by Di/Fi for working with local Chinese youths.

One more reason to pray Trump wins... he can turn to the corrupt ones at State and tell them they’re fired. If that can’t be done he can close the agency... I can’t think of one thing they’ve done right in the past 30 years. We can save money by shutting them down.

Joe said on MJ that State and Justice are covering up for her, and he is shocked they would put their reputations and careers on the line for something that eventually is going to shake out. ( Joe always is saying, never mind if this were Dick Cheney instead. The dems would be exploding.)

He spoke about old cronies covering for her, but this is somewhat younger and newer bunch in place and covering up for her, dragging their feet, delaying retrievals and generally obstructing.

All this, he believes, must be an effort to save Obama’s legacy for a Democrat president. Yikes!!

You have to give credit to The Grifter.

The Democrat Party was easily pulled into the con game.

“We need the money to win elections to help out poor Americans!”

Hahahahahahaha!

They needed money to pay the con game team.

Any investigation into the con game is easily dismissed.

“It’s just the Republicans trying to hurt the Democrat Party!”

Hahahahahahaha!

The con game team has the Democrat Party working hard to protect The Grifter and the team.

And The Grifter has the press turning their heads so they won’t look at the con game.

“We want to help the poor, but the Republicans are fighting us!”

Hahahahahahaha!

Yes. Those Democrats really do want to go out and pull turnips at Turnip Commune #43. That’s why the Clintons bought all those estates.....so they could grow turnips on them.

Hahahahahahaha!

Bravo, Grifter! Bravo!

You used the Democrat Party to make yourself lots of money.
