Foreign first.
Obama’s smirt duhplomacy has been just crackerjack!
The State Department is ordering family members of employees posted to the U.S. Consulate General in Istanbul to leave because of security concerns.
Oh good.
So is it ISIS or perhaps one of Erdogan’s plausibly deniable local groups? Yes
The State Department said international and indigenous terrorist organizations in Turkey have been targeting U.S. as well as other foreign tourists.
That’s pretty much all the totally not Islamic groups that can get to Turkey.
This is one of those things that bothers me, we have to learn about this stuff from foreign outlets.
I wonder if this is true.
James Comey’s decision to revive the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email server and her handling of classified material came after he could no longer resist mounting pressure by mutinous agents in the FBI, including some of his top deputies, according to a source close to the embattled FBI director….
‘Some people, including department heads, stopped talking to Jim, and even ignored his greetings when they passed him in the hall,’ said the source. ‘They felt that he betrayed them and brought disgrace on the bureau by letting Hillary off with a slap on the wrist.’…
He told his wife that he was depressed by the stack of resignation letters piling up on his desk from disaffected agents.
If so, I take back some of the stuff I’ve said about Hillary!’s Bitches….the FBI.
Is this true or misdirection?
Jim told me that Lynch and Obama are furious with him,’ the source said.
On the one hand, I could see the “Justice” Dept. trying to quash this.
On the other hand, I could see them pushing this to clear the field for M’Shell. (Yeah, I still have high hopes)
Should be interesting.
Related to the Weiner emails,
Tonight is Game 5 of the World Series with Cleveland up 3-1, they could close it out.
So… will the Cubs win to continue the Series? Will the asteroid hit the stadium with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th with Cleveland up by 1?
Or will the Power That Be let Cleveland win just to have the asteroid hit as the post-victory riots are going on? Or perhaps the asteroid will hit Chicago during their post-loss riots.
I will remind about my symbolism. Cleveland is where Trump won the nomination, Chicago is where Hillary! was whelped.
Not sure if it means anything, but really, in this election does anything important mean anything?

While I’m taking a break from my *ahem* scholarly research, let me say that just when we thought things couldn’t get any fendier, along comes Comey with more emails and re-opening the investigation. I’m a little suspicious of the whole internal pressure angle but then again, a lot of that is because I have a hard time imagining what could be so bad in those emails, given what we already know courtesy of Wikileaks. Final note: the idea that Mr. and Mrs. Danger held onto a bunch of particularly juicy emails as an insurance policy is deliciously fitting or naive considering who they were dealing with.
It’s just so fendy that everybody is looking for a political reason for what the FBI is doing.
That’s why I only take back some of the stuff I’ve said about them.
As for the insurance angle, that makes me laugh my ass off.
It wouldn’t be funny if he did die, in suspicious circumstances or not, but it would be.
I would love to see all the lefties trying to say, with a straight, non-guilty-looking, face that Hillary! had nothing to do with it.
Everybody in America would assume she had something to do with it even if a satellite dropped out of the sky and hit him.
Totally with you there. I mean, his whole closing the investigation speech was basically an admission that Hillary! is above the law so we know that something yuuuuge is motivating Comey to take this step and it’s probably not the content of the emails themselves. Unfortunately, massive revolt within the FBI is a mundane and plausible explanation here, but outside of that the other obvious explanations all have big problems, so we might just be looking at either a new or discounted party here. My favorite off-the-wall theory, like yours, would be that this is the President himself delivering the kill shot for whatever reasons he might have, like promoting m’shell or even just flipping the bird at the Clintons.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m hip deep in researching my latest paper: From Miley Cyrus to Miss Bum Bum: The overarching heteronormativity exerted by the Patriarchal impulses of western civilizations in modern society.
Dude, if you don’t work Honey Boo-Boo in you’re a piker.
…talk of a Hatch Act violation is being bandied about…
That’s a little late. It should have been ‘bandied about’ in July when Comey told us an important Democrat was above the law.
