In the vein of this discussion, when BHO received the Nobel Peace Prize, a not-insubstantial award in terms of both financial and precious metal, WTF did he do with the funds and medal?

Knowing him, the medal is under his pillow.

Last year, the press were all about Trump losing the primaries and going independent. After the Nevada Dem caucus, I am thinking that Bernie has a good chance of going independent, splitting the Dem base.

If he did, I'd slip that old man some tongue.

The possibilities are multiplying. I stopped off to grab coffee this morning and noticed a story on the front page of the New York Times. Apparently there's now a real conflict going on within the Dems over whether to spend campaign money in a way that focuses on "labor issues" (ie., padding union officers' pockets) or "environmental issues". I think I'm going to keep a weather eye out for the development of further cracks between now and the Dem convention.

After all, I could use another hobby.

Bernie Sanders joined his supporters in criticizing the Nevada Democratic Party after violent outbursts disrupted their state convention on Saturday when his supporters became angry about the process.

One Sanders supporter threw a chair, unhappy about being blocked in a rules vote as part of an effort to help the senator from Vermont win more delegates to the national convention. Others applied chalk graffiti to a party building. And the state's party chairwoman has been receiving death threats since then.

Hillary Clinton won Nevada's caucuses in February. On Tuesday, she and Sanders were facing off in Kentucky and Oregon, two states where he was expected to do well.

The Nevada outburst could be a preview of how contentious the July 25-28 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia could be. Sanders is unlikely to arrive at the conclave with more delegates than Clinton. But if he refuses to drop out, a contested convention could prove to be raucous.

Sanders on Tuesday framed Nevada's incident as a warning.

"If the Democratic Party is to be successful in November, it is imperative that all state parties treat our campaign supporters with fairness and the respect that they have earned," Sanders said in a statement on the Nevada incident.

Sanders - who said he condemns violence and personal harassment of individuals - leveled some of the same complaints his supporters did, arguing that state party Chairwoman Roberta Lange did not allow a headcount on a disputed rules change. He also argued that 64 delegates to the state convention were not given a hearing before being ruled ineligible.

The state party disputed the Sanders campaign's interpretation of the events. It said some delegates did not show up at the convention and others were disqualified because they were not registered as Democrats in time.

"The Sanders campaign is continuing to be dishonest about what happened Saturday and is failing to adequately denounce the threats of violence of his supporters," the Nevada Democratic Party said in a statement.

Sanders supporters began circulating a picture of Lange on the internet that included her cellphone number and encouraged others to contact her to express their unhappiness.

Lange said in an appearance on MSNBC that she has been receiving death threats, including many containing vulgar language. Public messages sent to her Twitter account included a barrage of derogatory statements.

MSNBC played some of the voicemails, including one saying “people like you should be hung in a public execution.”

“What you heard is a few of the thousands of emails and texts and Facebook messages and Twitter messages that I’ve gotten," Lange said on MSNBC. "Threats to my family, to my grandson, to my husband.

"They have attacked the place where I have a daytime job." Lange is a manager at a Las Vegas restaurant, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Imagine! God Damned Commies so unhappy they are wrecking the furniture at their own convention!

Gotta love that!

Maybe they're having this rule to try weeding out the Trump supporters coming over and tip the balance to Bernie? Of the 64 disqualified, most of them were caucusing for Bernie.

Let the sweating begin. I think Huma is terrified. She stated awhile back she won't read anything about the emails she said she is mortified by the thought of what may be in them.
She may stumble.

From Judicial Watch.

Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has scheduled the depositions of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s top aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin, as well as top State Department official Patrick Kennedy, and former State IT employee Bryan Pagliano regarding the creation and operation of Clinton’s non-government email system. The first witness, Lewis A. Lukens, will be deposed on Wednesday, May 18.

U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan granted “discovery” to Judicial Watch into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s email system. The court noted that “based on information learned during discovery, the deposition of Mrs. Clinton may be necessary.” The discovery arises in a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit that seeks records about the controversial employment status of Huma Abedin, former Deputy Chief of Staff to Clinton. The lawsuit, which seeks records regarding the authorization for Abedin to engage in outside employment while employed by the Department of State, was reopened because of revelations about the clintonemail.com system (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:13-cv-01363)).

The Clinton email witnesses are scheduled to be deposed by Judicial Watch attorneys for as long as seven hours:

May 18 – Lewis A. Lukens, deputy assistant secretary of state and executive director of the State Department’s Executive Secretariat from 2008 to 2011, who emailed with Patrick Kennedy and Cheryl Mills about setting up a computer for Clinton to check her clintonemail.com email account.

May 27 – Cheryl D. Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff throughout her four years as secretary of state.

June 3 – Stephen D. Mull, executive secretary of the State Department from June 2009 to October 2012, who suggested that Clinton be issued a State Department BlackBerry, which would protect her identity and would also be subject to FOIA requests.

June 6 – Bryan Pagliano, State Department Schedule C employee who has been reported to have serviced and maintained the server that hosted the “clintonemail.com” system during Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

June 8 – 30(b)(6) deposition(s) of the State Department regarding the processing of FOIA requests, including Judicial Watch’s FOIA request, for emails of Clinton and Abedin both during Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state and after.

June 28 – Huma Abedin, Clinton’s deputy chief of staff and a senior advisor to Clinton throughout her four years as secretary of state and also had an email account on clintonemail.com.

June 29 – Patrick F. Kennedy, undersecretary for management since 2007 and the secretary of state’s principal advisor on management issues, including technology and information services.

In a separate FOIA lawsuit concerning Hillary Clinton and the Benghazi terrorist attack, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth ruled Judicial Watch can conduct discovery into the email practices of Clinton and her top aides. Judge Lamberth ordered Judicial Watch to follow up with his court once Judge Sullivan issued his discovery order:

When Judge Sullivan issues a discovery order, the plaintiff shall — within ten days thereafter–file its specific proposed order detailing what additional proposed discovery, tailored to this case, it seeks to have this Court order. Defendant shall respond ten days after plaintiff’s submission.

Judicial Watch filed its discovery plan yesterday with Judge Lamberth.

“This court-order testimony could finally reveal new truths about how Hillary Clinton and the Obama State Department subverted the Freedom of the Information Act,” stated Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton.

Did she actually say this? These are the words of a guilty person.

Huma Abedin has no idea what she sent over email during her time at the State Department, but called it "terrifying" and said she is "mortified" by the thought of those messages being released

Huma SAID:

"It's something I can't really think about, because I can't even imagine what's in those emails. But I'm sure I would probably... be mortified. I have no idea. I haven't read any of them," Abedin said

Where's Mayor Daley when you need him

The current mayor of Philadelphia's already endorsed Hill, and we all know she wants a smoooth coronation ceremony.

So she can be "coronated"....

Just thinking.

When the time comes, there are two choices. Either arrest her or allow her to turn herself in.

If arrested, handcuffs or not? Handcuffs are used for two reasons--- to protect the arresting officers and to protect the arrestee.

If allowed to turn herself in, there is the distinct possibility that harm will be self-inflicted between the time frame when it is notified and when it's supposed to happen. Not exactly a PR coup for the arresting agencies.

So here's my guess. Handcuffs. The way I see it, the possibilities are real, immanent, and entirely within the subject's character.

Now that the MSM doesn't have all the Rep BS to report on they HAVE to report on the distinct possibility that 1. hildabeast might have "issues" 2. The bernie supporters do not want beastie....even heard numbers of 40% of bernie supporters from one primary (can't remember which) would rather vote for trump, this came out on NPR of all places. If NPR is reporting that it must be far worst than that...

They are prepping the public for something...

And I for one would love a '68 repeat in the city of brotherly beatings...

One scary part of it is according to most polls people "like" bernie more but I still have some hope that the majority of the Reagan dems would never vote for an avowed socialist.

Going to be an interesting summer....maybe the "silent majority" is going to make themselves heard again, just like in '68.

Forgot. If we follow the "logic":

1) How can anyone be arrested as a result of a security inquiry?

2) It is all a result of a vast extreme right-wing conspiracy against her.

Caveat emptor. She's not exactly kosher in her coconut. Caboodle. Too many misfirings in those neurons.
