[Breaking News] Trump defends Arpaio pardon by trashing Clinton, Obama clemencies - BBC UPDATE - Duration: 3:43.Trump defends Arpaio pardon by trashing Clinton, Obama clemencies.
WASHINGTON — President Trump on Monday defiantly defended his pardon of former Arizona Sheriff
Joe Arpaio by attacking controversial acts of clemency by Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
"I stand by my pardon of 'Sheriff Joe,'" Trump declared at a joint press conference
with Finnish President Sauli Niinistö at the White House.
The president said he had done some research into past controversies over presidential
clemencies "because I assumed that somebody would ask me the question."
Pulling a white piece of paper from his suit pocket, Trump said he "wanted to look at
some of the other people that were pardoned over the years," then read a list of controversies
over clemency.
He cited Marc Rich, one of the 140 pardons Bill Clinton issued on his way out the door
in January 2001.
The fugitive financier decamped to Switzerland after being charged with evading $48 million
in taxes and trading oil with Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions.
Trump said Rich "was charged with crimes going back decades including buying oil from
Iran while it held 53 American hostages" and "he was pardoned after his wife donated
hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Clintons."
Rich's former wife, Denise Rich, was a top contributor to the Democratic Party, and also
gave money to Hillary Clinton's Senate race in New York.
Trump accused Clinton of pardoning "dangerous criminals," citing Susan Rosenberg, a member
of the Weather Underground terrorist group.
She was tied to a 1981 armored car robbery that claimed the lives of two police officers
and a guard.
The president also pointed to Clinton's decision to commute the sentence of convicted
drug trafficker Carlos Vignali.
Trump hit Obama for commuting the sentence of "criminal leaker" Chelsea Manning,
calling that a "horrible, horrible thing that he did," as well as the sentence of
Oscar López Rivera, a member of the radical Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional (FALN)
Puerto Rico independence group behind a deadly bombing campaign in the 1970s and 1980s.
"Sheriff Joe is a patriot, Sheriff Joe loves our country, Sheriff Joe protected our borders,
and sheriff Joe was very unfairly treated by the Obama administration," Trump said.
He did not say Arpaio was innocent of the charges against him.
The president's decision to pardon Arpaio, announced Friday night as Hurricane Harvey
began its devastating march into Texas, drew angry responses from elected officials, civil
rights advocates and Latino-Americans.
Arpaio, an early and fervent supporter of Trump's presidential campaign, had been
convicted of criminal contempt last month for failing to obey a federal judge's order
to stop targeting Latinos on the basis of their suspected immigration status.
It was just the latest tangle with the law for the self-styled "America's toughest
sheriff," whose tactics met time and time again with court rebukes and cost taxpayers
millions in settlement fees.
The news followed the late-Friday disclosure of Trump's plans to bar transgender individuals
from serving in the military — an information pileup that stoked suspicions of a "Friday
news dump," a term that refers to the time-honored practice of minimizing the attention an announcement
gets by making it late on Friday.
Trump rejected the notion on Monday.
"In the middle of a hurricane, even though it was Friday evening, I assumed the ratings
would be far higher than they would be normally," the president said.

NAACP Leader Stuns Every Liberal In America, Admits Trump's Right - Duration: 11:25.NAACP Leader Stuns Every Liberal In America, Admits Trump's Right
One of the leaders in the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
just stunned liberal America and admitted Trump is right about the whole confederate
statue issue.
They are part of our history and not all history is pretty or agreeable to everyone.

If we actually taught our children history not only we would not have this to deal with
the NFL players would not be taking a knee during the National Anthem.
Those who forget their history are doomed to repeat it.
If local governments of the Federal government wants to remove them that is their right.
But to try to make this an issue when the real issue is race and how we need to treat
each other better no matter who you are.
Advertisement
And one of the leaders of the NAACP came out and rebuked the liberals and agreed with Trump
and it's gotta sting.
She is not supporting Trump, not on your life, but she is honest enough to admit the liberals
are wrong in this issue.
And that in their hysteria people stop listening to them.
That they are falling into the trap they always fall into when they consumed by phony outrage
and a manufactured issue is entirely predictable, as it is sad.
When a topic that deserves debate, serious debate because there are always two sides
to every issue like immigration, they ruin their credibility with their hysteria.
According to the Daily Caller, local NAACP chapter president Esther Lee came out and
agreed with Trump on this distraction of an issue.
"I think it's all senseless.
All senseless," Lee said.
"You know, we're 108 years in as NAACPers and we might think things would improve, but
they do not.
You know we still have this factor about black and white."
Correct we have come along way but we have miles to go yet.
She reflected on the statue controversy saying,
"You know that's history.
That was in that point in time.
You can't eliminate what history is.
So I disapprove with young people local pulling down those statues."
Lee then put everything in perspective and if the Democrats are smart they will listen,
"A young woman died.
Two officers were murdered in a plane crash and all for what?
Because somebody in their mind decided, 'we don't need to look at that anymore.'
It shouldn't be."
Correct.
It shouldn't be and the debate should not how we treat statues but how we treat each
other.
Something Trump knows and it seems the Democrats
do not.

BREAKING NEWS TODAY: MEXICO FURIOUS AFTER TRUMP ISSUES NEW STATEMENT ON BORDER WALL - Duration: 3:52.-------------------------------------------
Bill Gates Just Admitted That Trump is Right And Issued Major Warning - Duration: 11:26.Bill Gates Just Admitted That Trump is Right And Issued Major Warning
We all are still in shock of the situation that is happening in Barcelona.
Major lives ended due to a single terrorist attack.
This is a clear proof of how the world not only America is having issues with immigrants.
They became a global problem that requires drastic sanctions.
Some of them are terrorists and religious fanatics.
Attacks like this one today proves how they are not innocent at all.
They are not seeking a better place to live, they are only seeking a better place to bomb
due to their sick beliefs.
UConservative reports that Bill Gates understands the severity of this problem and that's
why he warned Americans about the possible chaos that could happen if immigrants keep
coming to our country.
The Microsoft founder showed his support for President Trump's ban.
According to Gates, Europe is already overwhelmed by immigrants and they are trying to put an
end to the migration problem.
What Gates suggested was that world leaders should make it difficult for migrants to reach
Europe.
This will help all the countries to put an end to all the immigrants entering the countries
on a daily basis.
Gates spoke about the problem Angela Merkel caused.
He said:
"On the one hand you want to demonstrate generosity and take in refugees, but the more
generous you are, the more word gets around about this — which in turn motivates more
people to leave Africa.
Germany cannot possibly take in the huge, massive number of people who are wanting to
make their way to Europe."
This is exactly why the leaders need to start listening to Trump.
This is why they need to issue their own travel ban.
Europe must secure their borders day and night in order to avoid a similar scenario like
the one that happened today.
Innocent people suffer because of someone's sick mind.
Let's all hope that soon this problem
will
be solved.

Breaking Trump Fires Shot Heard Loud And Clear By Every Senior Citizen In America - Duration: 12:23.Breaking Trump Fires Shot Heard Loud And Clear By Every Senior Citizen In America
Every single senior citizen in America knows how expensive the costs of prescription drugs
are.
Just as every single senior citizen knows the real tragedy in America is that people
who have paid into system all their lives, are asked to pay more when they finally try
to redeem their already earned benefits.
It is a scandal and i consider it a form of blackmail.
For when you are sick or start a drug regime as you get older you got no leverage.
Advertisement
Even though you paid into the system your whole life.
It is an unnecessary burden on a population that has already given everything and sacrificed
much to keep the American dream going full tilt.
They spent their lives contributing to furthering America and freedom.

They have fought wars, built businesses, and kept the trains running on time.
They should be rewarded not screwed by greedy drug companies.
Who are mainly responsible for the rapid increase and out of control costs for health care.
Most Americans have no idea how much seniors pay out of pocket for the medicine they need
to live a fuller life or just survive.
It is a real scandal.
Our medical system is the best in the world because we encourage innovation and profit.
But it is also the most costly and we need to find a better balance, as Trump often pointed
out on the campaign trail.
The costs of drugs are too high, plain and simple.
When you consider what they cost, the same drugs mind you, in Canada one can only come
to the conclusion that the drug companies are ripping off American citizens.
Trump has played nice so far but the behind the scenes he has been battling hard for Americans.
After the Obamacare repeal debacle by the GOP Congress most thought Trump has given
up on getting us a better deal on health care.
Not a chance.
Trump just tweeted:
"Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned from President's Manufacturing
Council,he will have more time to LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!"

Breaking Trump Busts State Giving 72 Million In Medicaid To Ineligible People - Duration: 13:50.Breaking Trump Busts State Giving 72 Million In Medicaid To Ineligible People
The Department of Health and Human Services recently released an audit which says that
almost $72 million in Medicaid payments were given to ineligible people in Kentucky.
The state didn't determine the eligibility status for Medicaid benefits and the agency
didn't keep paperwork about citizenship status.
Although states must verify the citizenship status of the people who want to receive Medicaid
benefits, Kentucky determined the eligibility status for Medicaid benefits without any documentation.
Free Beacon reports: "The state agency did not always meet Federal and State requirements
when making eligibility determinations because of both human and system errors," the report
states.
"The state agency did not always perform, or maintain documentation that it had performed,
identity-proofing because of both human and system errors related to processes implemented
in response to the ACA that affected eligibility determinations for non-newly eligible Medicaid
applicants."
If a person applies for Medicaid benefits through the state marketplace, the person
must go through identity-proofing.
Although the person should give their birth date and Social Security number during the
application, the audit discovered that the state didn't provide documentation for 13
beneficiaries.
"On the basis of our sample results, we estimated that during our 6-month audit period,
approximately 8 percent of non-newly eligible beneficiaries in Kentucky were potentially
ineligible, and approximately 3 percent of federal payments were made to those beneficiaries,"
the report states.
"As a result, we estimated that Kentucky made federal Medicaid payments on behalf of
69,931 potentially ineligible beneficiaries totaling $72,763,721," Free Beacon reports.
The auditors and the state agency suggested Kentucky provide the documentation that shows
verified citizenship and identity.
According to Stephen Miller, the commissioner at the state agency, the Kentucky Department
for Medicaid Services admitted that mistakes were made
Free Beacon reports: "When informed of the issue, the Department for Medicaid Services
utilized staff communications and training to reinforce correct procedures.The state
appreciates the opportunity to comment on your recommendations," Miller said.
"We believe the issues identified have been successfully corrected."
It is not fair that some people pay for Medicaid benefits while others don't and still receive
it.
Hopefully, Kentucky will correct this
mistake soon.
