  Several dozen pages of documents released Friday from the FBI’s Hillary Clinton email probe show the former secretary of state repeatedly claimed to have little training or understanding about the classification process – despite leading the department that handled such information on a regular basis and having a security clearance.   The document dump also revealed the gaps that remain in the record. Not only were numerous sections – and entire pages – redacted, but the files showed the FBI could not obtain 13 Clinton mobile devices that may have been used to send emails from her personal email address, in addition to two iPads. And they showed Clinton claiming she could not recall numerous details. But perhaps most striking were Clinton’s repeated statements regarding her grasp of the classification process. In response to the release, GOP Chairman Reince Priebus said Clinton’s claims suggest she either is “incompetent” or “lied.”   CLICK TO READ THE D,document drop box,document drop-off locations,document drop box outdoor,document drop off location hyderabad,document drop sage crm,document drop list,document drop event,document drop down menu,document drop off,document dropbox ipad ...ادامه مطلب

  Hillary Clinton is enlisting undocumented “Dreamers” into a new voter registration drive aimed at signing up sympathetic voters with waings that Donald Trump’s immigration plans could result in their deportation – though the Dreamers themselves cannot legally vote.   Clinton's national voter registration program, called "Mi Sueño, Tu Voto/My Dream, Your Vote," was announced Sunday, on the four-year anniversary of the 2012 order that temporarily shielded from deportation some young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children. The 730,000 young people known as Dreamers are prohibited from voting. However, they remain a powerful political organizing force, and the Clinton campaign hopes to use them to convince Latino and other households to go to the polls for the Democratic nominee. Organizers will remind voters that a Trump presidency would end the Dreamer program, according to the campaign, which is already at risk after a June Supreme Court effectivel, ...ادامه مطلب

  McLEAN, Va. –  Armando Morales was a gang leader, drug dealer and a jailhouse snitch. But he was also a commanding, dynamic presence on the witness stand when he told jurors that his cellmate, Ingmar Guandique, confessed to the murder of Washington inte Chandra Levy. Jurors believed Morales, and prosecutors obtained a conviction against Guandique at his 2010 trial despite lacking a confession, witnesses or DNA evidence. They obtained a conviction even though everyone knew that police had initially suspected another man, former Califoia congressman Gary Condit. But for the past five years, while Guandique was imprisoned on what was to have been a 60-year murder sentence, defense lawyers accumulated new information that cast doubt on Morales' truthfulness. They leaed that he asked to be put into the witness protection program in exchange for his testimony, even though he testified he hadn't sought any benefit for testifying. Last year, a judge ordered that Guandique receive a new trial after prosecutors acknowledged a retrial was warranted. Meanwhile, as questions about Morales continued to grow, a woman named Babs Proller who met Morales by happenstance began recording her conversations with him, and tued them over to authorities earlier this month. On Thursday, prosecutors dropped all charges against Guandique, saying they had received evidence recently that would make it impossible for them to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. It's not entirely clear what's in the recordings. Bill Miller, a spokesman for the U.S. attoey's office, declined to say whether the recordings prompted prosecutors to seek dismissal of the case. Edward Brady, an attoey for Proller, said his client became involved in the case by sheer coincidence and contacted prosecutors, defense attoeys and Levy's mother. "She did this because she believed then, and believes now, that it was the right thing to do," Brady said. Susan Levy, Chandra Levy's mother, said in an interview Friday a, ...ادامه مطلب

  Prosecutors dropped the remaining charges Wednesday against three Baltimore police officers awaiting trial in the death of Freddie Gray, ending the case without any convictions. Gray was a 25-year-old black man whose neck was broken while he was handcuffed and shackled but left unrestrained in the back of a police van in April 2015. His death added fuel to the growing Black Lives Matter movement, set off massive protests in the city and led to the worst riots the city had seen in decades. The day started with a pretrial hearing for Officer Garrett Miller -- who had faced assault, misconduct in office and reckless endangerment charges. But instead of pretrial motions, Chief Deputy State's Attoey Michael Schatzow told the judge that prosecutors were dropping the charges against Miller and the rest of the officers. [embedded content] The decision by prosecutors comes after a judge had already acquitted three of the six officers charged in the case, including the van driver who the state considered the most responsible and another officer who was the highest-ranking of the group. A mistrial was declared for a fourth officer when a jury deadlocked. The case led the police department to overhaul its use of force policy, and all officers will soon be equipped with body-wo cameras. The U.S. Justice Department has also launched an investigation into allegations of widespread abuse and unlawful arrests by the department, and the officers have sued State's Attoey Marilyn Mosby, saying she intentionally filed false charges against them.

This image provided by the State Department shows an image of a teddy bear with Arabic writing and message saying ISIS "slaughters childhood," 'kills innocence," "lashes purity" or "humiliates children." (The Associated Press) WASHINGTON –  The ISIS group's Twitter traffic has plunged 45 percent in the past two years, the Obama administration says, as the U.S. and its allies have countered messages of jihadi glorification with a flood of online images and statements about suffering and enslavement at the hands of the extremist organization. Among the images: A teddy bear with Arabic writing and messages saying ISIS "slaughters childhood," ''kills innocence," ''lashes purity" or "humiliates children." A male hand covering a female's mouth, saying ISIS "deprives woman her voice." A woman in a black niqab (veil), bloody tears coming from a bruised eye, and the caption: "Women under ISIS. Enslaved. Battered. Beaten. Humiliated. Flogged." U.S. officials cite the drop in Twitter traffic as a sign of progress toward eliminating propaganda they blame for inspiring attacks around the world. When the U.S. formed an inteational coalition in September 2014 to fight ISIS, the administration outlined multiple goals: military action and cutting off foreign fighters and finances, confronting the group's extremist ideology and stemming the militants' growing popularity in the Arab world and beyond. The messaging element of the campaign struggled early on. Much of the anti-ISIS content put online was in English, limiting its effectiveness. At the time, social media networks were only getting started with new technological approaches to the challenge of disabling accounts that were recruiting and radicalizing prospective ISIS members. These shortcomings have been fixed, American officials believe. Memes and images depicting the group's treatment of women, children and others are presented almost entirely in Arabic. Whereas the U.S. previously blasted the information out itself, it, ...ادامه مطلب

  Beie Sanders vowed Thursday to fight for "the most progressive platform" in Democratic Party history as well as reforms to the party itself‎, in an online address to supporters in which the presidential candidate made clear he's not dropping out yet -- but is ready to start working with presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton. The live-streamed address was a chance for Sanders to give his passionate supporters an idea of what comes next, after the primary season ended earlier this week with Clinton having eaed more than enough delegates to secure the nomination. Sanders said the "political revolution" continues but signaled that would revolve around fighting for changes to the party platform and system. “We must continue our grassroots efforts to create the America that we know we can become,” the Vermont senator said. “And we must take that energy into the Democratic National Convention on July 25 in Philadelphia where we will have more than 1,900 delegates.” Sanders told his political followers that the major task they face is to "make certain" presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is defeated. "After centuries of racism, sexism and discrimination of all forms in our country we do not need a major party candidate who makes bigotry the coerstone of his campaign," Sanders said. "We cannot have a president who insults Mexicans and Latinos, Muslims, women and African-Americans." 2016 Election Headquarters The latest headlines on the 2016 elections from the biggest name in politics.

  Federal investigators continued Wednesday to methodically retrace Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen’s recent activities and contacts, while zeroing in on his wife, who may have known about her husband’s evil plan well before he burst into a gay nightclub in Orlando and killed 49 people. Although a spokesperson for the U.S. Attoey for the Middle District of Florida would neither confirm nor deny that a grand jury has already begun investigating the case, an FBI source told FoxNews.com on Tuesday that a panel was already targeting Noor Salman, 30.

Luke Lichterman, (r.), said HomeTrust Bank denied services to his web-based business, citing federal regulations. A North Carolina gun seller won a duel with his local bank, after the lender denied his web-based business its services, erroneously citing a controversial banking regulation, he told FoxNews.com Thursday. For months, Luke Lichterman had tried to get his Hometrust Bank branch to process purchases, but officials told him a 2013 Department of Justice regulation dubbed “Operation Choke Point” barred them from serving a “risky” business, he said. "When I asked the bank representative what other businesses are considered 'risky,' the first word out of his mouth was 'poography,’” Lichterman, who is 75 and disabled from a serious car accident, told FoxNews.com. “I was both deeply offended and highly amused by that.” Lichterman’s online store, http://www.huntinganddefense.com, takes digital payments, but without his bank’s help he would have been forced to used costly transaction services that would have taken a huge bite out of his already-thin profit margins, he said. "I was aware of Operation Choke Point and that it was intended to make it impossible for people with a fraudulent business to do banking,” Lichterman said. “But I sell firearms, which is constitutionally protected, and am licensed by the federal govement to sell firearms.” Fortunately for Lichterman, after several discussions with bank officials, some negative publicity and pressure from Second Amendment advocacy groups, the bank reversed its position. "The pressure brought by groups like the Second Amendment Foundation against 'Operation Choke Point' and financial institutions who were intimidated by the Obama administration has resulted in not only exposing the attack on the lawful firearms industry but has forced many banks to back off this attack on a constitutionally protected right," said Alan Gottlieb, founder of the Second Amendment Foundation.
