Paul Ryan says the Congress might strip Hillary Clinton’s access to classified information
When a Presidential election draws nigh the candidates who are still in the race and have a legitimate chance at winning the election begin to get briefed on national security issues in order to prepare them for what they will be facing if they are elected President. In the wake of the FBI’s investigation which found that Hillary Clinton and her aides were “extremely careless” in handling classified information Paul Ryan is now threatening to strip Hillary Clinton’s access to classified information during the campaign if the Obama regime does not take action itself.

James Comey to testify in front of the Congress over his decision not to pursue charges against Hillary Clinton
It is now being reported that James Comey will testify in front of the Oversight Committee about his decision not to recommend charges for Hillary Clinton even though she was “extremely careless” in protecting State Secrets and even though he admitted there is evidence she broke the law. (From what I understand it is only his job to bring forth the evidence and it is not his job to make a recommendation to pursue charges or not.)
Here is more:
House Republicans called Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey to testify before a congressional panel over his recommendation not to press criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server while secretary of state.
Mr. Comey is expected to face sharp questioning at the hearing on the agency’s decision, which incensed Republicans and spared the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee’s campaign from what could have been a devastating blow. An FBI spokeswoman confirmed a Thursday appearance.
Well, it did not take long for somebody to throw together a video contrasting several of the false statements Hillary Clinton made while defending her use of a personal email server with what the FBI investigation uncovered. While James Comey decided not to recommend charges he did list several reasons why the FBI should have recommended charges and what should be remembered is that while he let her skate he certainly did not exonerate her and videos like this need to make the rounds from now until election day.

After listing all the reasons she should be indicted FBI Director James Comey lets Hillary Clinton off the hook
In his press conference today FBI Director James Comey confirmed almost everything that we have been saying about Hillary Clinton when he listed all the reasons she should be indicted over her email scandal, before he let her off the hook.
James Comey confirmed to us that despite a sworn statement to the contrary Hillary Clinton failed to turn over all official emails and some of them have been deleted and are lost forever, he confirmed that she jeopardized national security and there is the real potential that our secrets have fallen into the hands of our enemies, and he confirmed she sent and received classified information (which was classified at the time, again in contrary to her claim) on her unsecured server. It also appears as if she lied to the Congress so it will be interesting to see if they have what it takes to make the next step.

A couple of weeks ago it was reported that Hillary Clinton’s official State Department calendar was missing 75 entries. These entries just happened to be meetings between the former Secretary of State and “longtime political donors, Clinton Foundation contributors and corporate and other outside interests.”
If this story is true it appears as if Hillary Clinton went to great lengths to ensure these meetings were kept from the public because it is being reported that Huma Abedin, in a sworn depostion, stated that the former Secretary of State destroyed the hard copies of official State Department schedules on “more than one occasion.”

Happy Independence Day everyone, I would like to share a couple of videos with you today in remembrance of the times.
Perhaps the greatest speech anyone has ever given was delivered on March 23rd, 1775 by Patrick Henry when he made his famous call to arms with his “give me liberty or give me death” speech. It is interesting to note the influence the Bible had on this speech. See Luke 22:48, Jeremiah 6:14, Jeremiah 8:11, Jeremiah 6:22, and Matthew 20:6.
I think my favorite line from the speech is “shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the illusive phantom of Hope.” In my opinion Patrick Henry was a master orator and showman, I love the way this speech starts out slow and builds to its crescendo.
Here is a good video of the speech, it comes from a short film from 1936 entitled “Give Me Liberty.” Enjoy:
I sometimes wonder if over the course of hundreds of years people have lost the perspective of what actually happened on July 4th, 1776 when the Founders voted to free themselves from the yolk of Great Britain. July 4th, 1776 is known as Independence Day but I wonder how many people think this was the day we won our freedom.
I wonder how many people think we declared our freedom and it was a happy day because we were at last free, but that is not how it happened. Actually there were many years of fighting needed to secure this declaration and the men who declared independence that day understood the gravity of their actions–if they were caught they would be hanged as traitors to the Crown.
Here is a video from the HBO miniseries “John Adams,” if you have not seen this miniseries you need to because it was remarkable! The thing I love about this scene is how it portrays the gravity of the situation and how the Founders understood what they had just done–there was no celebration of the outcome of the vote, the celebration did not occur until much later.

Hillary Clinton interviewed by the FBI
Today the long-awaited FBI interview with Hillary Clinton took place and from all accounts is was about 3 1/2 hours long. Here is more:
Hillary Clinton met with the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Saturday morning for a “voluntary interview” about the investigation into her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state, her campaign announced.
“Secretary Clinton gave a voluntary interview this morning about her email arrangements while she was secretary,” campaign spokesman Nick Merrill said in a statement email to reporters. “She is pleased to have had the opportunity to assist the Department of Justice in bringing this review to a conclusion. Out of respect for the investigative process, she will not comment further on her interview.”
The interview at FBI headquarters in Washington, which lasted for three and a half hours according to a campaign aide, is a long-expected development in the months-long email saga that has complicated Clinton’s White House bid since before its formal inception.
No details of the interview have been released so there really is nothing else to write about at this time but I was wondering if anyone else thought it was interesting the FBI waited for a long holiday weekend when people are not paying attention to conduct this interview?
Oh, and the former Secretary of State made history again by becoming the first nominee from a major party to be interviewed by the FBI in a criminal case.

We have been told that the meeting which happened at an airport tarmac in Arizona between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch was impromptu and that nothing about the FBI’s investigation into his wife or the expansion of that investigation into the possible connections to the Clinton Foundation was discussed–even though it came one day after a Federal Judge ordered the expansion of the email investigation to include dealings with the Clinton Foundation and the very next day after the meeting the Injustice Department sought to delay the emails related to the Clinton Foundation for 27 months.
According to an unnamed witness who is a member of one of the security details it now seems likely Loretta Lynch had no idea the meeting was coming but it sure does look as if Bill Clinton did. According to this source Bill Clinton may have arranged to be late for his flight in order to meet up with the now beleaguered Attorney General. It was not impromptu on his part…
