FBI uncovers 14,900 more documents in Clinton email probe



“We’re pleased the court accelerated the State Department’s timing,” Fitton said. “We’re trying to work with the State Department here, but let’s be clear: They have slow-walked and stonewalled the release of these records. They’ve had many of them since July 25 ... and not one record has yet been released, and we don’t understand why that’s the case.”

More on the Trump-TV talk. All agree that it's just conjecture at this point, no legitimate rumblings:



Hope Hicks, Trump’s spokeswoman, adamantly denied that such conversations have occurred. (“There is absolutely no truth to this whatsoever,” she told me. “This hasn’t been even uttered. Not even thought about.” ] Then, after conferring with Trump, she issued a subsequent statement clarifying her point: “While it’s true Mr. Trump garners exceptionally high ratings, there are absolutely no plans or discussions taking place regarding a venture of this nature.” Meanwhile, someone close to Kushner has suggested that Trump would be unlikely to go so far as to seek out a partner at this stage of the race, given that it might risk alienating many of the established media players that he has outflanked—and that he is relying on to get him elected. (Such a move would also inevitably raise issues regarding the F.C.C.’s “equal-time” rule.)

The annoying thing about the Headband's stupid claims of "legitimate rumblings" when the ENTIRE MEDIA is enjoying simple speculation is that if Trump actually were engaging in any concrete talks about setting up a media empire, it would be a huge story, because it would cause a tsunami of potential conflicts of interest, as well as potential violations of both FEC and FCC regulations. The ensuing ****storm would be another derailment in the Trump campaign.

Which is WHY the story of the "legitimate rumblings" hasn't broken in the media yet.

Yet, here comes Headband, whose most annoying habit (among many) is claiming to be "in the know" when he isn't. In the past this has been confined to casting and other theater-related rumors. But now he's claiming to have connections in Trump Tower.

So this is the kind of bipartisan cooperation we may see between Congress and Hillary Clinton, along with Hillary's $275 billion infrastructure proposal.



http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/clinton-paul-ryan-poverty-plan-227207



Speaker Ryan has effectively given his blessing, spurring the plan’s inclusion in several of this year’s bills to fund the government. Donald Trump, who recently began new outreach to minority voters, has yet to weigh in, effectively ceding the political benefit to his Democratic rival....

The plan got a major boost when Clinton decided to embrace it at the urging of [South Carolina Democratic Rep. Jim] Clyburn and other lawmakers...

“I think it’s a good way for her to commit to black voters and the black community,” said Clyburn. “I’m looking for commitment.”

Clyburn also is sure to emphasize the plan’s race-neutral aspect, in a bid to build bipartisan backing. “If you’re talking about poverty rates, then you’re talking about white people in Kentucky and West Virginia,” he said. “You’re talking about Latinos in New Mexico and Arizona. You’re talking about Native Americans in South Dakota and Alaska.”...

Donald Trump continues his steady flight off the rails. The man is clearly bat-shit cray cray.

He accuses Hilary Clinton of being a bigot...

... who sees people of color only as votes, not as human-beings worthy of a better future," Trump said. "She's going to do nothing for African Americans. She's going to do nothing for the Hispanics. She's only going to take care of herself, her husband, her consultants, her donors — these are the people she cares about. She doesn't care what her policies have done to your communities. She doesn't care.

All this from a man who among other offenses to people of color has gone on record saying that African Americans live in the ghettos that are the equivalent of war zones. That they struggle to get by on food stamps, that they see nothing but failure around them and appealing to them for their votes by telling them, "What have you got to lose?"

It truly boggles the mind. SMDH.

We're locked in tomorrow, nothing can stop us now.

This election season feels different then every one before. I've never sensed so much hate leading up to an election. Our choices are polarizing us more, and maybe that's a good thing?

Anyone on Twitter should follow Peter Daou, former Clinton staffer, my and go-to on the media/culture's egregious treatment of Clinton. His outrage mirrors mine, but also many, many others.

There is nothing wrong with the Clinton Foundation. Nothing illegal, nothing immoral, no ties that need to be cut.
