(This one has to be the most startling.)
The White House stood by FBI Director James Comey on Monday as a man of ‘integrity’ and ‘principle’ in the face of a Democrat-led assault on his character and intentions.
Press Secretary Josh Earnest would neither ‘defend nor criticize’ the letter Comey sent to Congress on Friday.
But the senior White House official said the president does not believe that the Republican law enforcement official is looking to ‘intentionally influence the outcome’ of the presidential election, despite Hillary Clinton’s and Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid’s claims that he is.
‘The president’s assessment of his integrity and his character has not changed,’ Earnest said at his daily briefing. ‘The president doesn’t believe he’s secretly strategizing to benefit one candidate or one political party.’
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton blasted the FBI again Monday – and this time brought up the bureau’s probe into emails maintained by longtime aide Huma Abedin – dismissing the idea she did anything wrong while minimizing the close role of her staffer.
‘Now they apparently want to look at emails of one of my staffers – and by all means they should look at them,’ Clinton said, bring up the FBI attack at the start of a rally before a room packed with students at Kent State University.
‘And I am sure they will reach the same conclusion they did when they looked at my emails for the last year. There is no case here. And they said it wasn’t even a close call,’ Clinton said.
The staffer Clinton failed to name was Abedin, who has been at her side since Clinton was first lady. Clinton considers her like a surrogate daughter as well as longtime confidant.
(There isn’t a bus heavy enough for Hillary not to be able to lift high enough, to throw Huma Abedin under it.)
3. Is Huma Abedin missing?
4. Here is a little levity on topic. A Norwegian debate between a pro trump journalist, entrepreneur, politician and social commentator, and a classic lefty Scandinavian. Watch her face to know what eating poo must look like.
5. Trump calls for the resignation of Huma.
I think this may call for something more serious than the loss of a fat job though.
6. It was Clinton who started the Ramadan dinners at the White House!

The latest release from WikiLeaks reveals that DNC honcho Donna Brazile sent John Podesta, chairman of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, a question that was to be asked at the CNN primary debate between Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders.
Thank you ML., M., Richard, NorseRadish, Richard, Kathy, Xanthippa, Tanya and SO MANY people who are following this surreal set of events which is global geopolitics today. PLEASE check the comments in the posts for today, especially the Reader’s links post even for the past few days for a large array of videos and articles which inform on these issues.
It is endless and of historical significance. Hell some of the biblical stuff, even the Hindu materials posted in comments suddenly look more interesting than they used to.
Confirmation of rigged voting
Clinton campaign had a code word for wiping the emails.

Now that the FBI has obtained the needed warrant to start poring over the 650,000 or so emails uncovered in Anthony Weiner’s notebook, among which thousands of emails sent from Huma Abedin using Hillary Clinton’s personal server, moments ago the US Justice Department announced it is also joining the probe, and as AP reported moments ago, vowed to dedicate all needed resources to quickly review the over half a million emails in the Clinton case.
BREAKING: Justice Dept. says it’ll dedicate all needed resources to quickly review emails in Clinton case.
— The Associated Press (@AP) October 31, 2016
In the letter to Congress, the DOJ writes that it “will continue to work closely with the FBI and together, dedicate all necessary resources and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible,” assistant attorney General Peter J. Kadzik writes in letters to House and Senate lawmakers.

So far so good, even if one wonders just how active the DOJ will be in a case that has shown an unprecedented schism between the politically influenced Department of Justice and the FBI.
And yet, something felt odd about this.
Kadzik… Kadzik… where have we heard that name?
Oh yes. Recall our post from last week, “Clinton Campaign Chair Had Dinner With Top DOJ Official One Day After Hillary’s Benghazi Hearing” in which we reported that John Podesta had dinner with one of the highest ranked DOJ officials the very day after Hillary Clinton’s Benghazi testimony?
It was Peter Kadzik.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) Q/A with Peter Kadzik of the Justice Dept.
In a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on Jan. 7, 2016, Rep. Jim Jordan, OH-04, questions Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik from the U.S. Department of Justice about the IRS targeting scandal and document production from the Justice Department.
Amazing.
Congress has some very smart, tough and decent critters. How did they get elected?
Reminder: Start a list of keepers, quick go-to for after the smoke clears and the dust settles.
Assistant Attorney General Peter Kadzik is an ambulatory, bipedal, sack-of-$hit. “Shameless stonewalling” doesn’t even begin to describe this scumbag’s replies about what can only politely be labeled, “a partisan witch hunt”.
CNN – Huma Abedin lying low amid email probe
If the emails were found in a folder labeled “Life Insurance” whose insurance Weiners or Humas?

Fox News – No signs of Abedin as Democrats go after Comey
It might be a good time for Huma to come in from the cold. If I were one of her handlers I would be concerned about her possible reaction to the threat of a gruelling years-long investigation and the threat of a thirty year sentence in a supermax for espionage. It’s been a good run. Time to shut her down and come home…
Imagine the size of the back pay they owe her. Imagine what a hero she is to those on the other side…
…imagine the Americans taken hostage in exchange for the release of a political prisoner who’s an MB princess and martyr.*

Hillary Clinton and the law
The evidence is so massive and overwhelming that it leaves a reasonable person no choice but to decide that Hillary has lied, cheated, placed the National Security of the US at risk and done so knowingly. She couldn’t have done all of this by accident or through carelessness she had to know what she was doing and went ahead anyway.
Unfortunately, the average Democrat is incapable of taking in information unless it’s a lie, then they listen quite well. Most of them seem convinced that the first thing Donald Trump would do as President would be to reinstitute slavery, the second would be to drop an atomic bomb on somebody for no reason.
Leftists are incapable of reason. They confuse regurgitative thinking with critical thinking. In other words, they think that being able to parrot back to the professor makes them smart, rather than parrots…

Modern Leftism and Magical Thinking
An excerpt:
This is essentially the thought pattern of how children perceive the world, a mindset based upon substituting wishful thinking for reality. One of the chief characteristics of Magical Thinking is a denial of the principles of science. It is a dangerous belief system because it causes folks to assume that as long as their motives are right, all their plans and undertakings will work out.
The unrealistic thought pattern of Magical Thinking now informs American public policy and statecraft at every level—on economics, foreign relations, rule of law, environmentalism, etc. It is a world-view based upon the notion the “right” people will provide successful leadership for America, simply because they are “good,” and not the old “bad” leaders. Most intriguingly, this outlook is characteristic of not just children, but also sufferers of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which Dr. Ali Sinan believe is a diagnosis fitting Barack Obama.
