Donald Trump Sent Three Tweets That Could Send Hillary Clinton To Jail

Hillary Clinton escaped jail because the FBI rigged the probe into her private email server.

Former Director James Comey and his allies looked the other way with Clinton's crimes.

But Donald Trump changed all that with three tweets that could send Hillary Clinton to

jail.

A Bombshell Report About Hillary Clinton's Emails

Americans were shocked when the FBI found emails with classified information on a laptop

owned by Anthony Weiner in October 2016.

James Comey ordered the probe reopened.

Comey later said he took this action to protect Clinton.

Comey believed Clinton would win the election and therefore did not want her win tainted.

The FBI's investigation – however – was a joke.

Critics believe the FBI carried out a cover-up.

Journalist Paul Sperry went on Fox News and revealed the FBI's failure.

Sperry declared, "James Comey told Congress that they had reviewed all of the Clinton

emails, hundreds of thousands, that were found on the Weiner laptop.

But that was not true.

They barely looked at any of them.

Just 3,000 of 700,000."

Sperry then described disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok's role in this scandal.

"Peter Strzok, the disgraced agent who was in charge of this midyear investigation into

the Clinton emails, he actually personally handpicked the 3,000 sample," Sperry continued.

"And with two other investigators, they went through them all supposedly, pulled an

all-nighter, ordered pizza, and said nothing new here.

Case closed once again," Sperry concluded.

Donald Trump Responds Donald Trump bashed the FBI for rigging the

Clinton email probe.

President Trump tweeted:

BIG STORY OUT THAT THE FBI IGNORED TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CROOKED HILLARY EMAILS, MANY

OF WHICH ARE REALLY BAD.

ALSO GAVE FALSE ELECTION INFO.

I FEEL SURE THAT WE WILL SOON BE GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF ALL OF THIS CORRUPTION.

AT SOME POINT I MAY HAVE TO GET INVOLVED!

"THE FBI ONLY LOOKED AT 3000 OF 675,000 CROOKED HILLARY CLINTON EMAILS."

THEY PURPOSELY DIDN'T LOOK AT THE DISASTERS.

THIS NEWS IS JUST OUT.

@FOXNEWS

"THE FBI LOOKED AT LESS THAN 1%" OF CROOKED'S EMAILS!

Trump also blasted Jeff Sessions for not taking action against Hillary and the FBI.

He wrote:

"DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WILL NOT BE IMPROPERLY INFLUENCED BY POLITICAL CONSIDERATIONS."

JEFF, THIS IS GREAT, WHAT EVERYONE WANTS, SO LOOK INTO ALL OF THE CORRUPTION ON THE

"OTHER SIDE" INCLUDING DELETED EMAILS, COMEY LIES & LEAKS, MUELLER CONFLICTS, MCCABE,

STRZOK, PAGE, OHR……

….FISA ABUSE, CHRISTOPHER STEELE & HIS PHONY AND CORRUPT DOSSIER, THE CLINTON FOUNDATION,

ILLEGAL SURVEILLANCE OF TRUMP CAMPAIGN, RUSSIAN COLLUSION BY DEMS – AND SO MUCH MORE.

OPEN UP THE PAPERS & DOCUMENTS WITHOUT REDACTION?

COME ON JEFF, YOU CAN DO IT, THE COUNTRY IS WAITING! Trump supporters see how the FBI

targets Trump and ignores Hillary Clinton's crimes.

And Paul Sperry's report backs that up.

Donald Trump's tweets show he will not allow this double standard to continue.

And it gives his supporters hope that Hillary Clinton will pay a price for her crimes.

The American Legion Calls on Trump to Lower Flag Again | Heavy.com - Duration: 8:21.

The American Legion Calls on Trump to Lower Flag Again | Heavy.com

The American Legion sent a statement to the president urging him to re-lower the flag following Senator John McCain's death.

The American Legion, the nation's largest veterans service organization is calling on President Trump to re-lower the American flag to honor Arizona Senator John McCain's life, death and dedication to the United States.

The organization urged Trump in a statement Monday to follow longtime protocol following the deaths of prominent government officials, after the White House raised the flag to full staff less than two days after the Senator's death.

"Senator John McCain was an American hero and cherished member of The American Legion," the statement read.

"On behalf of The American Legion's two million wartime veterans, I strongly urge you to make an appropriate presidential proclamation noting Senator McCain's death and legacy of service to our nation, and that our nation's flag be half-staffed through his internment.".

McCain, who died Saturday at 81, is a decorated Vietnam War hero who spent more than five years as a prisoner-of-war in North Vietnam, after his plane went down and he was captured.

He was imprisoned and tortured for more than five years following the crash.

Trump tweeted his condolences after news of the Senator's death broke, but did not mention McCain or issue any statement, instead aiming his tweet directly at McCain's family.

My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain.

Our hearts and prayers are with you! — Donald J.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 26, 2018  .

The tweet accurately portrayed the strained relationship between the two Republicans over the last several years.

During Trump's presidential campaign, they bickered fiercely and often, with Trump going so far as to claim that the Senator wasn't actually a war hero, referring to McCain's five year imprisonment during the Vietnam War, when his plane was shot down and he was captured.

"He's not a war hero.

He's a war hero because he was captured.

I like people that weren't captured," Trump said at a campaign event in Iowa in 2015.

The comment was not well received, and pundits predicted that Trump's bid for the White House was sunk.

Despite the White House raising the flag back to full staff, Senate leaders of both parties have formally requested American flags at government buildings remain at half-staff to honor McCain's legacy.

The actions of the White House flying the flag at full staff have angered thousands of people, with many accusing the president of being disrespectful and petty.

The hashtag #NoRespect started trending on Twitter, with several users calling the White House out for going against an Eisenhower proclamation that defined specific terms for how flags were supposed to be flown on government buildings following the death of a head of state.

Here's a relevant passage from the proclamation.

"The flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff on all buildings, grounds, and naval vessels of the Federal Government in the metropolitan area of the District of Columbia on the day of death and on the following day upon the death of a United States Senator, Representative, Territorial Delegate, or the Resident Commissioner from the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and it shall also be flown at half-staff on all buildings, grounds, and naval vessels of the Federal Government in the State, Congressional District, Territory, or Commonwealth of such Senator, Representative, Delegate, or Commissioner, respectively, from the day of death until interment.

Huffington Post White House correspondent SV Date reports that the White House said it was following protocol, claiming the half-staff tradition is one and a half days, which is not how the 1954 proclamation reads.

The American Legion also reminded President Trump that he had issued proclamations commemorating the deaths of former first lady Barbara Bush and pastor Billy Graham, and that the same should be done to honor McCain.

"Senator John McCain was an American hero and cherished member of The American Legion," the statement continued.

"As I'm certain you are aware, he served five and a half years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam and retired from the U.S.

Navy at the rank of Captain.

He then served in the U.S.

Congress for more than three decades.".

Before his death, McCain decided against having Trump at his funeral, but made sure to invite former Presidents Barack Obama and George W.

Bush, who are expected to speak.

Update: August 27, 3:18 p.

President Trump did eventually release a statement regarding McCain's death, stating that he "respected Senator John McCain's service to our country" and would be providing military transportation of his remains from Arizona to Washington D.

The statement also stated that Trump was having General john Kelly, Secretary James Mattis, and Ambassador John Bolton to represent his administration at McCain's funeral.

Vice President Mike Pence will be honoring Senator McCain at the United States Capitol this Friday.

President Trump Infuriates Liberals With Huge Immigration Announcement

Liberals have been up in arms over the course of the past week over President Donald Trump's

immigration policies.

Now, Trump has fired back at them by letting them know that he will not be backing down

anytime soon.

"We cannot allow all of these people to invade our Country.

When somebody comes in, we must immediately, with no Judges or Court Cases, bring them

back from where they came.

Our system is a mockery to good immigration policy and Law and Order.

Most children come without parents…" Trump wrote on Twitter on Sunday, according to Western

Journal.

Trump then doubled down on this the next day.

"Hiring manythousands of judges, and going through a long and complicated legal process,

is not the way to go – will always be disfunctional.

People must simply be stopped at the Border and told they cannot come into the U.S. illegally.

Children brought back to their country," Trump wrote.

"If this is done, illegal immigration will be stopped in it's tracks – and at very

little, by comparison, cost.

This is the only real answer – and we must continue to BUILD THE WALL!"

Liberals are of course furious about what Trump had to say, but we love it!

Trump canceled Pompeo's fourth visit to Pyongyang due to uncooperative letter from the North - Duration: 2:08.

A leading U.S. daily is reporting that a top North Korean official sent a secret letter

to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that caused President Trump to cancel Pompeo's

trip to Pyongyang.

Lee Ji-won reports.

President Donald Trump's decision to call off his Secretary of State's fourth visit

to North Korea... seems to have been prompted by a letter from Pyongyang.

An opinion piece in the Washington Post Monday said the decision to cancel Pompeo's trip

came just hours after the Secretary received a "secret letter" last Friday from North Korea's

Vice Chairman of the Workers' Party's Central Committee, Kim Yong-chol.

The article cited two senior White House officials as saying the letter was belligerent enough

that President Trump and Secretary Pompeo were convinced the planned visit would not

be successful.

Trump tweeted that the trip was canceled because of a lack of progress on the denuclearization

of the Korean Peninsula.

The article in the Post said the letter was in response to the latest one from Trump,

in which he urged North Korea to take more concrete actions on denuclearization and warned

against backsliding.

While the officials declined to say how North Korea delivered the letter, the article said

that North Korea has been increasingly using its UN mission.

It also said Secretary Pompeo's fourth visit to Pyongyang, slated for this week, was to

negotiate a step-for-step deal.

The regime has been asking the U.S. to declare an end to the Korean War, while the Trump

administration has been asking Pyongyang for a declaration of its nuclear and missile programs

and assets.

But despite the historic North Korea-U.S. summit in June and the follow up meetings,

there has been no significant progress made on denuclearizing.

And Trump acknowledged the lack of progress in these talks for the first time in that

tweet.

The ball has now been tossed to North Korea, and many say the regime's next move could

result in even more sanctions if it doesn't satisfy President Trump.

After Jerry Brown Disobeys Trump's Direct Order, Donald Swings The Hammer Hard - Duration: 5:41.

After Jerry Brown Disobeys Trump's Direct Order, Donald Swings The Hammer Hard

Jerry Brown has made many questionable decisions during his time as Governor in California.

His state is often criticized for some of the things they do such as attempting to ban

plastic straws and reducing the criminality of purposely giving someone HIV.

With people like Maxine Waters working in the 43rd district and parts of California

being smeared in feces and needles, it's no wonder the massive west coast state is

the center of yet another controversy.

President Donald Trump and the U.S. Treasury Department are putting the foot down on California.

No more cutting corners or finding loopholes for them!

It appears that California was trying to avoid the new $10,000 limit on state and local tax

deductions.

They were attempting this by claiming taxes are charitable donations.

Not so fast, said the government!

Trump originally promised that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would have a tax-reform package

that cut some of the tax burdens for the average family of four who earns $75,000, cutting

the burden of taxes by a reported $2,000.

It also was supposed to increase the household income by about $4,000 through various cuts

on business.

The business corporate tax rate was 35%, but then slashed down to 21%, allowing companies

to invest more income on their product and employees.

Breitbart reported further, stating:

"To fund part of the resulting revenue loss, the Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives

limited federal deductions for state and local taxes (SALT) to $10,000 for the first time.

The move hammered high income tax-payers in Democrat-dominated high-tax blue states like

California, Illinois, New York and New Jersey.

According to the Tax Policy Institute, the first-time ever cap on SALT deductions was

expected to generate $36.1 billion more in federal tax collections in 2018.

But the pain to high-income tax-payers in California and the other so-called "deep-blue"

states doubles to $74.5 billion in 2021 and almost triples to $100.4 billion by 2025.

Four days after Trump's tax reform took effect on January 1, then-State Senate leader

Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) proposed "SB-227 Education finance: Local Schools and Colleges

Voluntary Contribution Fund" to allow any Californian that had more than $10,000 in

state and local tax deductions to make a dollar-for-dollar charitable donation to the "California Excellence

Fund" for a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit to avoid the SALT limits.

De Leon, who is running for U.S. Senate, tried to justify draining federal taxes to the San

Jose Mercury News: "The Republican tax plan gives corporations and hedge-fund managers

a trillion-dollar tax cut and expects California taxpayers to foot the bill," He added, "We

won't allow California residents to be the casualty of this disastrous tax scheme."

Although federal law allows charitable deductions for over-payment of taxes to those each year

that want to donate to help pay down public debt or maintain a park under IRC § 170,

the contributions must be "solely for public purposes."

But Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin released a statement on August 23 indicating that California's

"charity" was a scheme to avoid paying federal taxes: "Congress limited the deduction

for state and local taxes that predominantly benefited high-income earners to help pay

for major tax cuts for American families."

He added, "The proposed rule will uphold that limitation by preventing attempts to

convert tax payments into charitable contributions."

The new U.S. Treasury-proposed rule, according to The Hill, would only allow taxpayers to

claim the federal charitable deduction under "quid pro quo" guidelines for the amount

of donations that exceeds the amount they received in tax credits.

As an example, if the taxpayer donated $1,000 to the California SB-227 state charity and

received a 50 percent state tax credit, the taxpayer would only be able to claim a federal

charitable deduction of $500, according to the Treasury Secretary.

Mnuchin emphasized that the Treasury Department has projected that 90 percent of U.S. taxpayers

that do not file tax returns with standard deductions will not be impacted by the SALT

limits.

The 5 percent of U.S. taxpayers who file itemized returns with income tax deductions above the

$10,000 will be unable to exploit the charitable deduction to avoid the SALT cap."

If people want to keep talking about the taxes, then let them.

As long as people play by the rules and businesses invest in their employees, then the working

Americans will benefit.

If Trump cuts the tax rates from 35% to 21%, then that's amazing and gives businesses

14% of their income back to their company.

That was money that was taken by the government, proving that taxation is indeed theft.

There's no reason why a large business should ever pay more than a third in taxes.

In fact, no one should.

If you live in a Democrat-controlled city, then what are your taxes like?

Does your mayor tax you like crazy?

Mine does.

Philadelphia's Mayor Kenney seems like he taxes his own taxes sometimes.

We have a sugary drink tax in Philadelphia that has put people nearly out of business,

hurting the small business owners who run corner stores in the city.

We can't complain that taxation is theft and then not be happy with a 35% to 21% tax

break.

Anyone who isn't happy with that might need to rethink their train of thought.

Getting back 14% more of your income means you can spend less time finding loopholes

and more time improving your business.

Trump Catches White House Leaker – Announces Identity - Duration: 11:26.

Trump Catches White House Leaker – Announces Identity

BREAKING NEWS: Ever since President Donald Trump took office, his White House has been

plagued by a series of leaks.

Now, Trump is taking action to plug these leaks once and for all.

Right Wing News reported that sources say that White House Legislative Director Marc

Short is getting ready to leave Trump's White House any day now.

Insiders say that Short has been complaining of the so-called "diminishing returns"

of advocating for President Trump's legislative agenda on Capitol Hill, and that he has leaked

to others how terrible he thinks his job is.

The Washington Post's Josh Dawsey took to Twitter on Thursday to say that White House

officials say that Short will be out the door before the November elections.

"White House legislative affairs director Marc Short is expected to leave long before

the midterms, per WH officials.

Unclear exactly when," Dawsey tweeted.

It is believed that Short may be replaced by Shahira Knight, who is currently the deputy

director of the National Economic Council.

A source close to the situation said that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly talked

to Knight about the job and she expressed her interest.

Short has been one of the longest lasting members of Trump's White House, as he has

been there since January of 2017.

Prior to that, Short worked with Vice President Mike Pence during the 2016 campaign.

This comes after the Department of Justice caught senate aide James Wolfe leaking classified

information to the media.

"It's very interesting that they caught a leaker — it's a very important leaker,"

Trump said, according to Breitbart.

The president added that he is still getting information about what happened.

"It could be a terrific thing," he added as he left the White House to head to Canada

for the G7 summit.

Trump explained that though he supports freedom of the press, it was wrong of Wolfe to leak

classified information.

"I think you have a double edge," Trump said to reporters.

"You cannot leak classified information.

At the same time, we need freedom of the press."

Crazed Trump Spent His Weekend "Calling People And Screaming" Report Says - Duration: 2:43.

According to a report by Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman, someone who has had some pretty spot

on reporting about what's happening in the White House, he's got some excellent sources

in there.

But according to a recent report from him, Donald Trump spent this past weekend screaming

at people over the phone.

Now that is according to one of Sherman's sources who is a former White House official.

Said that Donald Trump was very subdued in public, he was still upset that nobody cared

about his West Virginia rally earlier in the week.

Didn't mention much about Manafort or Cohen in public, but then when he got back to the

White House this past weekend, everything was kind of quiet.

The source claims that "Trump was just picking up the phone, calling people and screaming."

That was the exact quote.

So we don't know exactly if he was calling people that involved in any of this or if

he was just calling random people.

I mean, hell we know he likes to pick up the phone and just call other world leaders, all

times of day, no matter what time it is in their time zone.

So we have no idea who this madman may have been calling and screaming at because his

entire world is falling apart.

But this isn't about just Donald Trump just randomly screaming at people over the phone.

This is about the fact that he is obviously terrified about what's happening to his administration

and to his legacy.

He understands that the Manafort verdict, eight counts guilty, that that's going to

hurt him.

Even if it had nothing to do with him in the trial.

Cohen on the other hand, implicated him in a felony, two felonies actually.

Which technically then implicates him in an unspoken third felony of failure to disclose.

So that's probably the one he's a little bit more pissed off about.

And according to Sherman as well, he's still talking about possibly pardoning Manafort,

which White House counselor Don McGhan had to go in and tell him why that's such a horrible

idea.

Donald trump has no way out at this point.

All he can do is scream and bark in the dark, knowing that nobody is coming to save him.

He not only hitched his wagon to some of the most corrupt people in this country, he also

happened to hire the most incompetent lawyers ever to pass the bar in the United States.

So he has no help, he no hope, he doesn't know what to do.

So he's doing what he always does.

Throwing a major temper tantrum when things don't go his way.

Not gonna work this time.

Citing Trump Admin's Hostility Towards Students, Loan Watchdog Resigns - Duration: 3:28.

Yesterday it was announced that Seth Frotman, the student loan ombudsman at the Consumer

Financial Protection Bureau would be stepping down, resigning his position at the end of

this week.

And the reason Frotman decided that he could no longer work with the CFPB is because they

have made it clear that they do not care about the student loan debt crisis in the United

States and that they don't care about the predatory lenders who are preying on students

just trying to get a quality education.

Frotman said that his division has been basically absorbed by another part of the CFPB, they

have had their regulatory oversight reduced basically to the point of not being able to

protect students from some of these predatory lenders.

The CFPB, under Mick Mulvaney, has also been working to allow for profit colleges, even

those that basically take all your money for four years and leave you with a degree that's

completely worthless, that those people can enter back into the game and scam students

left and right without them having any recourse.

Those are the reasons that Frotman has decided to step down from his office.

Now let's talk about how bad this problem actually is.

Right now there's about one and half trillion dollars worth of student loan debt being held

by people in the United States.

One and a half trillion dollars just in student loan debt.

And this guy, Seth Frotman, it was his job to kind of protect those people and now he's

gone because he couldn't do his job.

The Administration made it clear that they didn't want him to do his job.

So what's going to happen is he's either going to be replaced with somebody who's wholly

in the pocket of the big banks like Mick Mulvaney who's currently running the CFPB or we're

going to get another person in there who does care about the issue only to find out that

they also can not do anything to protect students here in the United States.

The Trump Administration has made it clear that they hate the Consumer Financial Protection

Bureau.

Republicans, since the day this organization was created, have made it clear that they

hate it but it is one of the most vital parts of our government even if it is one of the

newest.

It came about because of all the financial crimes, and yes they were crimes, being committed

by the biggest banks here in the United States and now they're being neutered.

They're being gutted, they're having their funding slashed.

Mulvaney, at one point this year, actually requested zero dollars in funding.

He believes that his agency just has too darn much power and Congress needs to take some

of it away.

This is not how you protect American consumers.

This is how you protect big banks.

Big banks were still engaging in the same kind of criminal conduct that led us into

the Recession of 2007 and 2008.

They're doing it again because the groups that we created to basically make sure they

weren't doing it, like the CFPB, have been completely stripped of their power and are

being run by corporate political puppets like Mick Mulvaney.

Democrats Play It Smart, Run On ISSUES Instead Of Hating Trump - Duration: 3:25.

Republicans continue to try to get Democrats to fall into an impeachment trap.

So far, Democrats on the campaign trail have been smart enough to not fall into it.

See, Republicans believe right now that if Democrats are out there preaching about impeachment

and saying that as soon as you elect me, I'm going to impeach the president, that it's

going to turn off moderate voters and make them go vote Republican, allowing them to

keep the House of Representatives.

But Democrats, to their credit, seem to have finally learned something.

They know that about half the country at this point, may be a little higher right now, would

actually support impeaching the president.

I mean, we certainly have plenty of evidence.

We could go forward with it, and it'd be a flimsy case right now, but it could go either

way.

But Democrats aren't out there talking about it.

Most of them aren't, at least.

The good ones aren't, because they understand that if you want to beat the Trump Republicans,

you have to talk about the issues.

In 2014, Democrats didn't talk about the issues.

In 2016, Democrats didn't talk about the issues.

Analysis of Hillary Clinton's ads and speeches showed that she only actually mentioned issues

25% of the time.

When people say, "I had no idea what Hillary Clinton stood for," that's why.

She wasn't talking about it.

She wasn't talking about student loan debt or health care or things like that.

She was out there talking about how horrible Donald Trump was.

All of it was true, but people wanted to hear about the issues.

Democrats seem to have taken that message from their 2016 defeat, and they're now applying

it to the 2018 midterms, because they understand what's at stake.

They know that impeachment is 100% on the table if they take back the House of Representatives.

But they're not going to go out there and campaign on that, because people want to hear

about what's happening in the country, the pocketbook issues, health care, student loan

debt, Medicare for all, Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, the things the Republicans are trying

to cut.

They want solutions to that.

If Democrats want to win back the House and possibly even the Senate, they know that they

have to go out there and talk about those things.

Even when people like those on Fox News are pressing them about whether or not they want

to impeach the president, they're avoiding even talking about it, saying things like,

"I want to talk about the issues.

I want to talk about health care.

I want to talk about anything other than impeachment."

That is smart.

They may all be thinking it.

I think it's safe to say most of them are thinking it and probably planning on it, but

if you want to win over the hearts and minds of the American voters, you're not going to

do it by promising to get rid of the horrible guy and putting the other horrible guy into

the oval office.

You're going to do it by proving to them that you're actually on their side and that you're

taking up and caring about and fixing the issues that they want fixed.

Democrats are doing that now for the first time in a long time, and so far, seems to

be working pretty well for them.
