Hilary Clinton Deposition Ordered by Federal Judge to Address Private Email Scandal

Hillary Clinton, who is rumoured to be a possible running mate to Michael Bloomberg, has been ordered by a federal judge to a deposition to answer still unanswered questions surrounding the 2016 email scandal. It emerged in 2016 Clinton was using her private email to conduct government business. Clinton has argued he has already answered questions, and the matter should be closed.

However, D.C. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth said: “As extensive as the existing record is, it does not sufficiently explain Secretary Clinton’s state of mind when she decided it would be an acceptable practice to set up and use a private server to conduct State Department business,”

Clinton’s previous answers to written question left many unanswered questions in his opinion: “those responses were either incomplete, unhelpful, or cursory at best. Simply put her responses left many more questions than answers.”

Billionaire Republican Paul Singer Buys Sizeable Stake in Twitter

Billionaire Paul Singer has bought a sizeable stake in Twitter. Singer who is also a Republican donor has been reported as having “plans to push” Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey out of the company.

Singer has also been very vocal in the past against President Trump. In 2017 it was reported that Singer leaked to Fusion GPS’s opposition research of President Trump during his campaign. Breitbart reported:

Late Friday, Singer’s Washington Free Beacon came clean as the original funding source for Fusion GPS’s research against now-President Donald Trump. Fusion GPS research was later funded by Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign, and created the now-infamous fake news dossier against Trump, but the efforts originally lay with Singer.

Multiple outlets reported Friday night that lawyers for the Free Beacon had just informed the House Intelligence Committee that their outfit was the first to engage Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research against then-candidate Trump. The neoconservative media outlet emphasized in a statement that this engagement involved all of the GOP candidates for president – not merely Trump – and never involved Russia or dubious former intelligence asset Christopher Steele, before the project was dropped and taken over by Hillary for American and the Democratic National Committee in the Spring of 2016 through potentially illegal payments made through law firm Perkins Coie.

When news of the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign’s involvement in the dossier, a primary source of the “Russia Story” dogging the first ten months of Trump administration, first broke, the Washington Post reported “one Republican” had been involved. That Republican is now clearly Singer, the Free Beacon’s main funder.

Singer’s involvement in the dossier, and opposition research on Trump more generally, comports with a years-long pattern of advocacy for mass immigration, massive funding of establishment GOP candidates, and antagonism towards the populist-nationalist movement.

President Trump responded with, “As you know, Paul was very much involved with the anti-Trump or as they say ‘Never Trump,” and Paul just left [the White House] and he’s given us his total support and it’s all about unification. So, I want to thank Paul Singer for being here and coming up to the office. He was a very strong opponent and now he’s a very strong ally and I appreciate that.”

Judge Royce Lamberth’s order authorises Judicial Watch to question Clinton and others about the email scandal, and breaths fresh life into the investigation.

Bernie Sanders “Disasterous” 60 Minutes Interview

In an interview over the weekend Bernie Sanders was asked how much his various plans would cost- he didn’t know.

Cooper: Do you know how all — how much though? I mean, do you have a price tag for — for all of this?

Sanders: We do. I mean, you know, and — and– the price tag is — it will be substantially less than letting the current system go. I think it’s about $30 trillion.

Cooper: That’s just for “Medicare for All,” you’re talking about?
Sanders: That’s just “Medicare for All,” yes.
Cooper: Do you have — a price tag for all of these things?
Sanders: No, I don’t. We try to — no, you mentioned making public colleges and universities tuition free and canceling all student debt, that’s correct. That’s what I want to do. We pay for that through a modest tax on Wall Street speculation.
Cooper: But you say you don’t know what the total price is, but you know how it’s gonna be paid for. How do you know it’s gonna be paid for if you don’t know how much the price is?
Sanders: Well, I can’t — you know, I can’t rattle off to you every nickel and every dime. But we have accounted for — you — you talked about “Medicare for All.” We have options out there that will pay for it.
In a memo by Democrate group Third Way, published last week the authors pointed out:
“Experts estimate that Sanders’ major proposals would cost a staggering $60 trillion and would double the size of the government (while his tax plans fall $27 trillion short of paying for it). There’s a reason that, when pressed on the cost of his plans, Sanders simply refuses to answer, saying he actually has no idea and ‘no one does.'”
