Stage 2 of the Hillary email scandal has been achieved, as yesterday’s “confused old lady who didn’t understand how email works” defense utterly collapsed with the Associated Press’ discovery that Clinton’s mail server was located in her house and was registered under the name of a man who does not appear to exist.
According to a New York Post report, House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) will head a panel, joining the House Benghazi committee, to investigate whether former Secretary of State and likely 2016 Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton broke the law in using a personal email account for official business while Secretary of State.
The check’s in the email. The White House tells reporters that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the State Department “complied with the guidelines” of the Federal Records Act by submitting thousands of emails back to the State Department after she left office.
Hillary Clinton set up her obfuscation.com email account the same day as her confirmation hearings to be Secretary of State began. She intended all along to use a personal email account rather than a government one, which effectively gives her control of the historical record.
So much for open government. Hillary Clinton admits she never used an official email account while she was Secretary of State. Instead, all her correspondence was through a personal account.
Among the many, many reasons why Americans hate and distrust the mainstream media, we’ve got the amazing spectacle of a major story directly impacting a likely presidential candidate — Hillary Clinton — completely blacked out in favor of obsessive coverage for llamas on the loose.
Former Texas Governor Rick Perry (R) said that State Department was “out of touch with reality” on Thursday’s “Kelly File” on the Fox News Channel. Regarding the debate over the terminology used to describe terrorism and John Kerry’s declaration that
The latest ISIS terror video is apparently running behind schedule—it was supposed to be released on Wednesday—but all indications are that it will include a threat to murder their Christian hostages, including women and children, if the bombing campaign against the Islamic State is not halted.
Daniel Rosen was arrested at his home in Washington, D.C., about noon Tuesday and was in custody at the D.C. jail Tuesday night, said Fairfax County, Virginia, Police Department spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell.
As if the State Department’s brainstorm to defeat ISIS with a jobs program for would-be jihadis was not funny enough, now they’ve put together a web site to crowdsource “solutions” to the “problem” of Generic Violent Extremism — not the problem most of us are worried about, but the one they feel comfortable talking about.
The University of Massachusetts Amherst has reversed its recently announced policy of banning foreign students from Iran who wish to enroll in advanced graduate courses with content related to the development of nuclear capabilities.
The governments of Egypt and Saudi Arabia have expressed outrage over the warm visit Muslim Brotherhood members allegedly received at the White House in January, which the State Department eventually admitted to only after the Muslim Brotherhood members boasted of their visit on social media.
On Wednesday’s broadcast of “Morning Joe” on MSNBC, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf declined to backtrack on remarks she had made previously on the the same network’s show “Hardball” earlier this week in which she said that the United States
A State Department spokesperson hints the military won’t be able to defeat ISIS, but that a jobs program might.
The State Department spokesperson has the task of defending the president’s foreign policy more often than any other government official. During President Barack Obama’s first term, that unenviable task fell to the opaque Victoria Nuland, whose redeeming feature was that there was a spine behind the smokescreen. (“F*** the E.U.,” she famously said, albeit in private, on Russia and the Ukraine.) Not so with successors Jen Psaki and Marie Harf, the clueless defending the hopeless.
The State Department is confirming it has closed the U.S. Embassy in Yemen and evacuated its staff because of the political crisis and security concerns following the takeover of much of the country by Shiite rebels.
UPDATE: Psaki has since tweeted that the attack “was an anti-semitic attack that took the lives of innocent people.” We have always been clear that the attack on the kosher grocery store was an anti-semitic attack that took the lives
An effective retaliation against the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL) would require 100,000 boots on the ground, according to the former CIA deputy director.
You can disagree with him all you’d like on immigration reform, but Florida Senator Marco Rubio is correct in saying that this easing of sanctions and normalizing of relations with the murderous Castro regime in Cuba will not end the human rights atrocities that have been going on in that country since Fidel Castro first took over.

State Department Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf said that the United States faces threats from extremism aside from Islamic radicalism, but couldn’t name any specific examples and argued that it was “simplistic” to argue that there is a “common thread” between
