Clinton Facing Criminal Probe
Today’s New York Times reports that two government inspectors general have asked the Justice Department to launch a criminal probe into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s handling of classified material.
Clinton insists she did nothing wrong and never handled classified information on her personal email server. Yet the Times reports that as State Department officials began reviewing the first 3,000 emails they received from Mrs. Clinton, they found 24 that had to be redacted and “retroactively classified.”
According to a June 29th memo from the inspectors general, Clinton’s personal email server likely held “hundreds of potentially classified emails.”
IRS Scandal
President Obama was asked about the IRS Tea Party targeting scandal this week on one of his favorite “news” outlets — the “Daily Show” on Comedy Central. Here’s what he said:
“The truth of the matter is that there was not some big conspiracy there. . . . The real scandal around the IRS is that they have been so poorly funded. . .”
The truth is often the exact opposite of whatever Obama says, like being able to keep your doctor, Obamacare not being a tax and that he believes marriage is a “sacred union” between a man and a woman.
Yes, there was a conspiracy to target the Tea Party. Lois Lerner apologized for it but has since refused to testify about her role in it.
More evidence emerged this week that conservative donors were targeted for individual tax audits by the IRS based on the contributor lists that the agency inappropriately demanded from the very groups it was targeting.
But wait. . . there’s more!
A damning new report from the non-partisan Government Accountability Office declared that the IRS’ auditing procedures are terribly flawed, resulting in groups being audited “in an unfair manner . . . based on an organization’s religious, educational, political or other views.”
“Digital Pearl Harbor”
While we’re on the subject of government scandals, the year-long cyberattack against the Office of Personnel Management, which exposed the records of more than 20 million government workers, is far worse than the Obama White House will acknowledge. Here’s how a bi-partisan group of security experts interviewed by Fox News described the hack:
“I believe the entire national security apparatus is now at risk. It’s mind-boggling.”
“It’s the digital equivalent of Pearl Harbor. . . .this is the equivalent of an act of war.”
“This is an unrecoverable situation. Our most sensitive data is in bad people’s hands.”
