Tennessee law now dictates that businesses wishing to create a “gun-free zone” will be held liable for the safety of concealed carry permit holders.
The new law, SB 1736, dictates that should any concealed carry permit holder’s safety be threatened after disarming themselves to enter their place of business, then the business will be held liable. The business will also be held liable if the permit holder incurs injury while “retreating from the business to a vehicle–during an emergency–to retrieve the gun the business owner barred,” according to Breitbart.
Present law authorizes persons in control of property to post a notice that prohibits firearms on the premises. This bill imposes a duty of care on any person who posts their property to prohibit firearms whereby such person will be responsible for the safety of any handgun carry permit holder while the permit holder is on the posted premises and traversing any area to and from the premises and the location where the permit holder’s firearm is stored. The duty of care created by this bill will extend to the conduct of other invitees, trespassers, employees of the person or entity, vicious animals, wild animals, and defensible man-made and natural hazards.
The bill passed the state Senate 26 to 4 earlier in March and passed the House by a vote of 77 to 13 in April. The law went into effect on July 1.
Editors note: The Public sector employees get more money better benefits & pension never getting laid off at the expense of tax increases for all citizens. Private sector unions lay their people off, and if the pay gets too high the jobs disappear. Everyone except people working for government seem to be taking a big hit when it comes to Heath Care cost. The other unions working with the State took a 4 year freeze. Every group needs to follow suit.
Illinois politicians proved again in the spring 2016 legislative session that they are not interested in protecting the financial interests of Illinois taxpayers. As in previous legislative sessions, their familiar tax-and-spend proposals all centered around taking more money from Illinois taxpayers.
Illinoisans need a taxpayer bill of rights so that politicians must ask permission from voters if they want to raise taxes.
Colorado adopted a Taxpayer Bill of Rights, or TABOR, as an amendment to the Colorado Constitution. The Colorado TABOR requires any government to seek voter approval before imposing a new tax or raising existing tax rates. The TABOR also contains a formula that determines how much in taxes a government can collect in a year, based on increases in population and inflation. If more revenues are collected than the formula allows, then the governing entity is required to reimburse the excess money back to the taxpayers.
A provision in Colorado’s TABOR allows excess revenues to be kept by the government if the taxpayers give voter approval through a ballot initiative. Anytime there is a proposal to raise taxes or keep excess tax revenues, the ballot must provide the following: information on the governing entity’s current and previous four years of spending, the proposed tax increase in percentages and estimated dollar amounts, and summaries of support for and opposition to the proposed tax increase.
Despite the high tax burden already borne by Illinoisans, politicians made several attempts to raise taxes on Illinois residents during the spring 2016 legislative session, including:
State Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, pushed a progressive tax plan that would have eliminated the Illinois Constitution’s flat-tax-rate requirement, instituted a progressive tax rate, and changed the state’s existing income-tax rates.
All of these tax proposals could have become law, and taxpayers had no direct way of preventing it. In fact, there are currently no protections in place to stop politicians from raising taxes to support out-of-control spending.
Taxpayers in Illinois already suffer under the burden of some of the highest property taxesin the nation. Residents of Chicago, in particular, are the most-taxed residents of any major city in Illinois, and they have the highest sales tax among major U.S. cities.
If Illinois had a taxpayer bill of rights, the government wouldn’t be able to suddenly impose taxes on residents without their approval. This would allow businesses and residents to know their long-term tax liabilities and to budget accordingly. Taxpayers would also benefit from having a more efficient and transparent government because the taxpayer bill of rights would require politicians to disclose how they spend taxpayer money.
Illinois residents have spent too much time under a government notorious for irresponsible tax-and-spend policies that hurt Illinoisans. A taxpayer bill of rights would be a win for Illinois taxpayers.
America “Home of the Free and The Brave” Thanks to the Founding Fathers who had the courage to stand up to the most powerful military in the world at that time fighting for the radical new ideology that began with the agreement of what would be written in the Declaration of Independence on July 4th. It was followed by a Constitution that sought for a limited central government. If something is not expressly written in the Constitution it is up to the States to decide what is best for that State.
We were founded on Judeo-Christain Principals and we were Blessed by God. We often ask God’s Blessing on others, even when a person sneezes we say God Bless you. There is no doubt God has Blessed this nation and we should be proud of what we have done and thankful for His Blessings. We should never feel embarrassed or ashamed for what we have or don’t have because God Blesses us all in different ways. Rich or poor, in America God’s blessings have touched all of us.
Some people talk of taking the wealth earned by another as social Justice. These people forget that in America there are no limits to success because God has Blessed this Country; but to achieve anything you must be willing to do the work. Nothing is or should be free. One of our greatest Blessings from God is the ability to start with nothing and achieve anything.
Think of the obstacles the Founders had to overcome.

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
As Americans get ready to celebrate Independence Day on July 4 with fireworks and cookouts, the British have just declared their own independence. It all happened on June 23, although the final results were not known until June 24.
When the American colonists declared their independence from Great Britain, they ended up with a war. King George III would not allow this secession without a fight. Of course, as with most wars, the leader is not the one doing the actual fighting.
With 52% of the voters of the United Kingdom declaring their secession from the European Union, luckily they will not likely meet the same fate as the American colonists. Nobody expects the EU to send in an army to push down the rebellion.
Still, that doesn’t mean there aren’t a lot of threats. A majority of the UK voters — by a slim margin — made it known that they have had enough. They don’t want to be ruled by a bunch of bureaucrats in Brussels, Belgium, especially when they have little say in the game.
To be sure, the “leave” voters had their differing reasons for wanting to leave the EU. But the establishment was united in its efforts to prevent this. The EU is the foundation of the globalists who want a new world order or a one-world government. This is a major disruption to their plans, so they are not going to go down quietly.
There are stories about some voters having regrets in voting to leave. If the establishment media finds two people out of 65 million to say this, then this is enough for them to report the regret.
Some are calling for a do-over. It is like a child that loses a game and then says, “Let’s play best two out of three.” And if that doesn’t work, then it is the best three out of five.
But in the case of the establishment, they don’t want the best two out of three. They just want another vote. If their side wins, then that would be the final one.
Another option for the EU and the majority of politicians in the UK is to simply not obey the outcome of the vote. They could just refuse to abide by the referendum. The problem with this strategy, which I think they recognize, is that they would just lose more legitimacy. It would send a clear message to the voters that their opinions really don’t mean anything.
It is ironic that much of the left, who like to so often champion democracy, are siding with the EU, which is mostly a bunch of unelected regulators. They are democrats as long as the voters choose “correctly.” If not, then they are too stupid to decide.
Fireworks are a staple of America’s celebration of its Independence Day. But good luck buying any in Illinois. For yet another year, the Land of Lincoln is one of only seven states in the country that doesn’t allow the purchase of consumer fireworks.
Illinois’ Pyrotechnic Use Act bans the sale, possession and use of those “consumer fireworks,” including bottle rockets, roman candles and firecrackers.
The lack of enforcement of the law, which carries a punishment of up to one year in prison and a $2,500 fine, is laughable. Communities from Elgin to Effingham will be filled with the same rockets and red glare as towns in other states across the country.
What isn’t so amusing are the parking lots of fireworks stores in Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana that are filled with Illinois license plates. The money Illinoisans spend there could be used to create jobs and raise tax revenues in the Land of Lincoln, where the General Assembly has failed to pass a balanced budget for the 16th straight year.
Indiana has gained about $2.5 million in tax revenue every year since it loosened fireworks laws and leveed a 5 percent fee on sales in 2006.
Kris Zambo, owner of Dynamite Fireworks in Hammond, Ind., said his industry has seen double-digit growth every year since Indiana reformed its fireworks laws. More than half of his customers come from Illinois.
“Hundreds of people in Northwest Indiana work in the fireworks industry,” Zambo said. “I put myself through college working in fireworks.”
And Indiana’s not alone.
Since 2011, Kentucky, Utah, New Hampshire, Michigan, New York, Georgia and West Virginia have all lifted restrictions on the sale of most types of consumer fireworks. New York’s modest reform was estimated to generate $2 million in extra tax revenue in 2015.
Talk of loosening fireworks restrictions in Illinois is often met with safety concerns.
But those who oppose legalizing fireworks in the name of safety should take note that a dramatic increase in fireworks consumption and fewer restrictions in many states has not resulted in more injuries. Research from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission showed no statistically significant change in people heading to the emergency room for fireworks-related injuries from 1999 to 2014.
“I think safety is the best argument [for legalization] in Illinois,” Zambo said. “Because it’s been legal in Indiana for 10 years, safety’s improved. People are buying quality products and getting good advice.”
Illinois state Sen. Chapin Rose, R-Mahomet, introduced a bill in 2015 that would havelegalized the fireworks currently banned under state law – and levied an additional 3.75 percent sales tax upon them. It didn’t even get a hearing in committee.
Lawmakers can and should end Illinois’ paternalistic fireworks ban. The law cuts off fair access to the fruits of a huge industry. More importantly, it limits the personal freedoms long celebrated by bringing light to dark prairie skies.
This story never saw the light of day on CNN or MSNBC. Bloomberg and his army of clones won’t be retelling this story to their mindless followers, either. Carol Browne had a violent ex-boyfriend named Michael Eitel who had threatened her life in the past. She followed the laws of New Jersey and petitioned for a restraining order, which she got against him. She also applied for a permit to own a hand gun on April 21, 2015.
Browne was killed last week by her ex—not with a gun, but with a knife. He waited for her to return home and stabbed her to death. She went as far as going in person to the police department two days before being murdered to check on the status of her application. Browne also had video surveillance cameras installed at her home, which tragically recorded her murder.
This woman, an American citizen protected by the Bill of Rights, was killed because the liberal idiots in this country think that a woman is safer without a gun. They tell us that she is much more likely to be killed by her own gun than to use it for self-defense. I can only wish that this had happened to one of these liberals instead of this innocent woman. This may sound cold-hearted and crass, but I’m done caring. There are consequences to stupid actions and those in charge of the stupid actions should be the ones paying the price.
Sadly, the liberal left will never acknowledge that this even happened. They will continue to push for more gun restrictions. Ignored will be the fact that she followed all of the laws and he did not, and this resulted in her death–not his. Ignored will also be the fact that he used a knife and not a gun to kill this woman. Had she had a gun, she would have had a fighting chance, but the liberals don’t care. They wanted her to depend on her local police agency to protect her.
So, that begs this question: Where were the police?
The answer is simple — they were delaying her gun permit application. Why in the hell does she need a permit to exercise the most basic human right of self-defense? Nothing is more important than one’s safety. Without it, you don’t need food, clothing, or shelter—just a burial plot.
This loser (her ex-boyfriend was an ex-con) had done time for kidnapping. I don’t know the details, but I would be willing to bet that some kind of weapon, probably a gun, was used in this kidnapping. Why is he out of prison? If the liberals are serious about stopping violent crime, ENFORCE the sentences. Stop paroling dangerous felons.
Kidnapping should carry life without the possibility of parole. End of story.
This is where “sensible” gun laws have gotten us. If you need a gun, and you need it now, and you live in New Jersey, you are screwed. Maybe the liberals can politely ask the criminals to have the courtesy of waiting until a citizen can legally obtain their firearm before attacking. I’m sure that this idiot could have been reasoned with.
Whatever happened to liberals standing up for women’s rights? Isn’t the right to defend one’s self pretty paramount? Maybe not — maybe abortion and gender reassignment are more important rights to be protected.
What do I know? I’m just a conservative, white, Christian male — the most reviled combination on earth right now. But, it appears that my fellow abhorrents and I are the only ones concerned with this woman’s murder.
There is an old cliché saying from when I was a kid that said, “I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6”. If I lived in one of these liberal cesspools, I would figure out a way to have a gun, no matter what. This poor woman put her faith and even her very life in the hands of the government, and the outcome was predictably bad.
There is a silver lining: The loser ex-boyfriend was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in another ex-girlfriend’s garage. But, I’m sure the liberals will point to this and say, “If he didn’t have access to a gun, he wouldn’t be dead, and maybe we could have gotten him the help he needed.” When will liberals learn that some people aren’t worth saving?

Just days after Bill Clinton met privately with Attorney General Loretta Lynch in her jet in Phoenix, Arizona, Department of Justice officials announced a not-at-all suspicious 27-month delay in the release of another segment of Hillary’s emails.
Correspondence between then Secretary of State Clinton’s four top aides — Deputy Asst. Secretary of State Michael Fuchs, Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin, and Ambassador-At-Large Melanne Verveer — and officials with the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton’s brainchild, public relations firm Teneo holdings are at the heart of the delay.
Those emails, should the delay be permitted by the court, would not be released until October 2018 — nearly halfway through Clinton’s first term if she indeed secures the White House.
As the Daily Caller explained: “The State Department originally estimated that 6,000 emails and other documents were exchanged by the aides with the Clinton Foundation. But a series of ‘errors’ the department told the court about Wednesday evening now mean the total has grown to ‘34,116 potentially responsive documents.’”
Considering the new figure in conjunction with the estimated 700 times each month those aides corresponded with the Foundation and Teneo Holdings — a firm which the Callernoted Bill Clinton had been both a paid consultant and client — the delay appears more a bulwark for the Clintons than bureaucratic red tape.
In fact, the Obama administration has yet to allot additional funds to the State Department office responsible for handling FOIA requests — despite an exponential increase in inquiries, largely relating to Hillary’s ill-famed emails.
Indeed, the lengthy de facto obstruction had David Bossie, president of Citizens United — the organization fighting to have its original Freedom of Information Act request honored — fuming, calling such a delay “totally unacceptable.”
Bossie asserted the “State Department is using taxpayer dollars to protect theircandidate, Hillary Clinton,” and told the Caller, “The American people have a right to see these emails before the election.”
But perhaps most indicative of possible favoritism, if not outright corruption, theannouncement of the delay came just two days after Bill Clinton’s already controversial private meeting with Lynch — though email hijinx might not have been the sole outcome of the rendezvous.
Bill Clinton might have been seeking some protection of his own.
Former U.S. Attorney Joseph DiGenova exclusively told the Daily Caller the former President “is at least a witness in two criminal investigations, probably a subject in two criminal investigations. He is a person of interest officially to the Department of Justice.”
And as DiGenova emphasized, because both Bill and Hillary stand at the heart of several criminal and corruption probes, the private meeting with Lynch actually violates DoJ policy. “It’s very important to realize this isn’t just a question of her judgment,” the former U.S. Attorney told the Caller. “The question is the Department of Justice policy on communicating with a side in a case.”
DiGenova explained the DoJ and Lynch have strict obligations to maintain impartiality — and Bill Clinton’s ‘legal status’ as a party to federal investigations should put him off limits for such unofficial and off-the-record meetings. “Bill Clinton, according to the department is a person of interest,” DiGenova continued.“What the hell is she doing meeting with a person of interest, no matter what the reason. There is no reason to believe her representation about what transpired in that conversation. The whole set of circumstances surrounding how they met on the tarmac, in a plane with no witnesses, is simply appalling.”
He added, “There’s no good reason for her to have met with him. None. Zip.”
Democrats, even those supporting Hillary’s bid for the presidency, hotly criticized the meeting for appearance’ sake, but largely claimed they had faith nothing untoward had occurred. Others weren’t as generous. “It makes it look like the fix is in and the Obama administration is going to protect Hillary Clinton,” remarked former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, as the Wall StreetJournalreported.
Sen. John Cornyn noted the incident “does nothing to instill confidence in the American people that [Lynch’s] department can fully and fairly conduct this investigation.”
For her part, Lynch obstinately insisted on Tuesday, “There was no discussion of Benghazi, no discussion of the State Department emails.”
Considering the all-out push to install Hillary as the next President of the once-free world, Bill’s private conference with Lynch — as egregious as it may be — can hardly come as much of a surprise.
Primaries have been wracked with allegations and evidence of blatant fraud, while the mainstream, corporate media apparently worked hand in hand with Hillary’s campaign to all-but guarantee her lock on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Of course, an all-out blitz would almost be necessary with both Clinton’s under intense scrutiny for the ongoing criminal and corruption probes — and all of this lends greater credence to theories an illegal, or at least questionable, arrangement was reached between the AG and Bill Clinton on Monday.
Currently, the FBI has an open “public corruption” investigation attempting to determine whether Hillary courted donors through the Clinton Foundation, and another to parse whether or not she also used the Foundation as a slush fund for certain foreign policy dealings during her tenure as secretary of state.
As Bossie reiterated to the Caller, “the conflicts of interest that were made possible by the activities of Hillary Clinton’s State Department in tandem with the Clinton Foundation are of significant importance to the public and the law enforcement community.”
Answering the firestorm of criticism and controversy over her impromptu discussion with Bill Clinton, on Friday reports indicated Lynch “intends to accept whateverrecommendation career prosecutors and federal agents make in the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server,” an unnamed and unverified Justice Department official said, according to the Associated Press. “The Attorney General expects to receive and accept the determinations and findings of the Department’s career prosecutors and investigators, as well as the FBI director,” the official reportedly stated.
If true, it would appear Lynch may be about to capitulate to growing pressure to recuseherself from various investigations of the Clintons.
While the content of the meeting between Bill Clinton and Lynch will never be known, the 27-month delay in honoring the FOIA request appears to be yet another highly suspicious activity involving the Clinton dynasty and its unwavering lust for power and control. Courtesy of The Free Thought Project
Talk about a major Friday news dump! President Barack Obama’s State Department just filed a motion to wait to release Clinton Foundation emails for 27 months… long after the Presidential race is over.
This news is breaking just a day after it was confirmed that Obama’s AG Loretta Lynch met secretly with former President Bill Clinton on her plane. This is a massive move by the State Department to work with the rest of the Obama administration to hide critical details of Hillary Clinton’s illegal use of a home email server while using the Clinton Foundation as a foreign money fundraising mechanism. This is outrageous:
Department of Justice officials filed a motion in federal court late Wednesday seeking a 27-month delay in producing correspondence between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s four top aides and officials with the Clinton Foundation and Teneo Holdings, a closely allied public relations firm that Bill Clinton helped launch.
If the court permits the delay, the public won’t be able to read the communications until October 2018, about 22 months into her prospective first term as President. The four senior Clinton aides involved were Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Michael Fuchs, Ambassador-At-Large Melanne Verveer, Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, and Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin.
The State Department originally estimated that 6,000 emails and other documents were exchanged by the aides with the Clinton Foundation. But a series of “errors” the department told the court about Wednesday evening now mean the total has grown to “34,116 potentially responsive documents.”
Clearly, the Obama White House is supportive of this move, as they can’t have a criminal indictment happen just weeks after President Obama officially endorsed Hillary Clinton for President.
It’s clear that as long as Obama is in office, anyone with the last name “Clinton” is above the law and will never be held accountable.
