But there’s still one last line they won’t cross. One of the most mystifying aspects of the 2016 election has been the short-term elevation of Hillary Clinton. She somehow went from being the “most qualified presidential candidate in history” to a spiritual figure, a person with a mystical presence. She walks the woods. She grants or denies absolution. When she speaks, grown women weep. Or at least they did yesterday. Today, things changed. Remember Donna Brazile? She’s the former CNN contributor and interim chairman of the Democratic National Committee. She last dominated the headlines in October of 2016, when a...

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said late Wednesday that she is “still ready” to be president of the United States. Clinton made the comments during an appearance on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” after host Trevor Noah displayed several clips of conservative pundits, including Fox News's Sean Hannity, mistakenly referring to her as president. “I’ve noticed this seems to be a theme with them, yes,” Clinton said, referring to the pundits. “And I can only say, if they want to make that world a reality, I’m still ready,” she said. Clinton has been hitting the speaking and television circuit...

Hillary Clinton fell a shocking 63 spots to 65 on the Forbes list of the world's most powerful women just a year after her US presidential election loss to Donald Trump. Newcomer to the list UK Prime Minister Theresa May took Clinton’s spot at No 2 on the list, while German Chancellor Angela Merkel remained at No 1 on the Forbes list for another year. Clinton's election loss in 2016 left the United States one of the world's few leading democracies to yet see a female leader. The former First Lady and former Secretary of State may sit 65 on...

The lawyer representing a former FBI informant who gathered evidence on kickbacks and bribery involving a Russian nuclear official and the transportation of uranium in the United States said her client will brief Congress about Russian penetration into the U.S. uranium market, steps that included widespread bribery and actions that involved former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "I'm not going into detail," attorney Victoria Toensing said on the Oct. 24 Hannity. "You know that, Sean. But he [informant] will give an overview and specific conversations that he had with Russians in what they were thinking...

NBC News's Alex Seitz-Wald has some bad news about America's smartest woman; it seems she's still harboring some delusions about what took place almost a year ago. [tweet] Asked about her Halloween costume, Hillary Clinton says she'll "go as the president." [/tweet] -- Alex Seitz-Wald (@aseitzwald) October 31, 2017<./h2>

President Trump responded to reports that special counsel Robert Mueller is about to indict people in his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election by pointing the finger at Democrats. Trump said the investigation into whether his campaign colluded with the Kremlin is “phony,” “bad for our country,” a “witch hunt,” and “evil politics.” He added the news that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid for the unverified dossier alleging scandalous behavior by Trump has united Republicans. “Never seen such Republican ANGER & UNITY as I have concerning the lack of investigation on Clinton made Fake...

As Kristinn Taylor reported earlier on The Gateway Pundit the WaPo article claims the 2016 presidential campaign of Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee paid for the Fusion GPS dossier alleging Russian ties with the presidential campaign of Republican Donald Trump and sordid phony personal smears of Trump. The Post reported that Clinton campaign and DNC lawyer Marc Elias and his law firm Perkins Coie paid Fusion GPS to continue researching Trump after a Republican donor who originally funded the research pulled out in April 2016.Hillary Clinton claims she didn’t know about the Russia dossier that her campaign actually paid...

While Hillary Clinton has been in Europe promoting her new book, What Happened, the heavily fortified wall of protection around her is crumbling. Late Wednesday night, the Justice Department finally lifted a gag order that prevented a FBI informant from testifying to Congress about Russian attempts to offer bribes, kickbacks, and other incentives to secure approval for the highly controversial Uranium One deal. This arrangement gave a Russian company ownership of the uranium mining company, with access to 20% of our country’s total supply. Of course, enriched uranium is an essential element than can be used for both nuclear power...

On her MSNBC show today, Joy Reid was outraged that Hillary Clinton is being investigated by congressional committees in connection with the Uranium One deal. Reid says Hillary “is not a political adversary. She’s a pure civilian, a grandma who writes books.” Yeah, stop picking on book-writing Grandma Hillary. She’s a “pure civilian,” and “not a political adversary.” Okay, well, true, she has formed a new political organization, Onward Together, with a logo that looks a lot like the one from her presidential campaign. And the New York Times describes Onward Together‘s goal to be “advancing progressive causes by harnessing...

Maureen Dowd interviews Mark Cuban for the New York Times, and he says that the “arrogant” Clinton campaign didn’t see their historic election loss coming. Cuban likes to say whining is underrated, but what did he think of Hillary blaming Comey, Sanders, Obama, Biden, Putin? “They didn’t see it coming at all,” he says of the arrogant Clinton camp. “I remember right before the election, they invited me to the party in Brooklyn. I’m like, are you kidding me? You do not plan the parade before you win the championship. “In sports, matchups matter, right? Hillary was prepared to have...

Democratic Rep. John Lewis (Ga.) wished a happy birthday to "Madame President Hillary Clinton" on Tuesday afternoon, even though Clinton is not actually president of the United States.

In truth, this kind of political mudslinging and dirty tricks is Hillary Clinton’s specialty While Hillary Clinton has been in Europe promoting her new book, What Happened, the heavily fortified wall of protection around her is crumbling.

On Tuesday evening, it cost me $200 to obtain the privilege of sitting in one of the top rows in the upper balcony section of a massive auditorium and watching a tiny blue dot surrounded by phlegmy yellow light. The amazing thing about this dot is that it could talk. This was confirmed by sound emerging from speakers hidden somewhere behind me and a glance at the not-even-movie-theater-sized screen behind it. The dot congratulated members of something it called "the Hillary Clinton Fan Club," which might be because the dot in question was, in fact, the aforementioned former secretary of...

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” George Washington Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley argued that the allegations against the Clintons for the Uranium One deal and the Trump dossier are “more recognizable as a criminal allegation” than the allegations of Russian collusion against the Trump camp and possibly could be criminal. Turley said, “Quite frankly, it’s good to have something that’s more recognizable as a criminal allegation. You know, the — I’ve — as you know, I’ve been very skeptical about the past Russian collusion claims as being a criminal matter, even though I supported...

Hillary Clinton deserves being tried for treason and potentially executed, according to Sebastian Gorka, President Trump’s former deputy assistant. Mr. Gorka made the comment during an interview Thursday evening with Fox News anchor Sean Hannity as the two discussed Mrs. Clinton’s role authorizing the sale of Canadian mining firm Uranium One to Russian state-owned nuclear company Rosatom while serving as the Obama administration’s secretary of state. “The Russians infiltrated our national security to corner the uranium market and they succeeded, and they knew all the crimes that were committed,” Mr. Hannity said during the broadcast. “If this had happened in...

Former CIA Director Leon Panetta said that the Senate Intelligence Committee is going to have to look into the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for funding the controversial Trump dossier during an interview on Thursday. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked Panetta how it was possible that neither “the chair of the DNC and the Clinton campaign” knew about payments for the dossier. “Well, it’s obviously something that the Intelligence Committee is going to have to look at,” Panetta said. “You know, knowing presidential campaigns, they’re big operations and somehow the left hand may not know what the right...

President Donald Trump rejoiced on Friday morning that a pair of congressional investigations into Russian election meddling are likely to end without any charges of collusion against him or his associates. A Politico report detailing the committees' work says probes in the House and the Senate are on track to conclude before primaries begin next year in February. They could end with lingering questions over whether any Americans worked with the Russians to disrupt last year's election, including affiliates of the Trump campaign.
