ACTING AG WHITAKER: ‘SPECIAL COUNSEL IS REQUIRED’ TO INVESTIGATE CLINTON FOUNDATION
“It’s very interesting to watch the Clinton camp try to explain away these meetings.”
By Michael W. Chapman
Matthew Whitaker, the acting attorney general of the United States and a former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Iowa, said in a 2016 interview that there is enough evidence “in the public domain” to warrant the appointment of a “special prosecutor” to investigate the Clinton Foundation. He added that the Foundation was “clearly a pay-to-play situation” where if you gave money to the Foundation, you got “preferential treatment” at the State Department, which was headed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from 2009 to 2013.
Hillary Clinton’s emailing of classified documents through her private computer server was a “serious” problem, but the “real ballgame” is “where Clinton Foundation donors were given preferential treatment,” said Whitaker in an Aug. 25, 2016 interview with Breitbart News Daily.

“We need somebody that is independent to look at these facts,” he said. “I was concerned when I heard that the Attorney General [Loretta Lynch in 2016] and the politicals at the Department of Justice had determined not to open an investigation into what is clearly a pay-to-play situation where, if you gave money to the Clinton Foundation, you got preferential treatment, if you had business from the State Department.”
“Based on what I’ve seen, that’s in the public domain currently, I think there’s enough to have a special prosecutor that can look into this, that can have the ability to subpoena documents and interview witnesses and do the kind of things and have the independence separate from this administration,” said Whitaker, the former chief of staff to former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
“There is so much here, so much smoke, so many unanswered questions,” he said.
Towards the end of the interview, Whitaker said, “I’ve always thought the Clinton Foundation is a very sophisticated way to get around the campaign finance laws and to allow for unlimited donations and an ability to curry favor with a presidential candidate that, quite frankly, is unprecedented in the history of our country.”
Matthew Whitaker was named the acting attorney general of the United States on Nov. 7 by President Donald Trump. Between 2004 and 2009, Whitaker was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa. Whitaker is married and has three children.
Bank Stocks Dive After Maxine Waters Threatens End To Regulation-Rollback
By Tyler Durden
US financials stocks have tumbled from opening higher after Rep. Maxine Waters – soon to to take over the powerful House Financial Services Committee when the new Congress convenes in January – laid down the law on what will and won’t happen under Democrat rule.
“Make no mistake, come January, in this committee the days of this committee weakening regulations and putting our economy once again at risk of another financial crisis will come to an end,” Waters said.
After the squeeze, it’s been one-way street lower since the Dems took the House…
Still a long way to go to unwind the Trump bump… (JPMorgan still up 60% since the election)
‘They were starting to learn German in Paris before US came along’ – Trump taunts Macron
President Trump continued his verbal spat with French leader Emmanuel Macron, taunting the French leader for his country’s losses to Germany in two world wars, and suggesting that Europe needs the US as a saviour.
After returning from Armistice Day commemorations in Paris over the weekend, Trump took to Twitter on Monday to savage the US’ European allies for failing to meet their defense spending targets and leaving America to foot much of NATO’s bill. On Tuesday, the president vented his frustrations again.
“Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia,” Trump tweeted.
In a radio interview a week before the commemorations in Paris, Macron called for the establishment of an EU army that can defend the continent “without relying only on the United States.”
While Macron once enjoyed a close bond with president Trump, the leaders’ relationship has soured as of late. In a speech on Sunday, Macron emphatically denounced Trump’s brand of nationalism, comparing it to the forces that plunged Europe into conflict in the 20th Century.
“Old demons are resurfacing,” the French president warned. “History sometimes threatens to take its tragic course again and compromise our hope of peace. Let us vow to prioritise peace over everything.”
Macron also stuck close to German Chancellor Angela Merkel – herself a vocal Trump critic – throughout the weekend, with the pair posing in an embrace at the unveiling of a plaque near Compiegne, where Germany officially surrendered 100 years previously.

Whether Trump’s Tuesday tweet was meant as a jibe at Merkel and Macron’s closeness or not is unclear, but the president’s insistence that Europe pays its NATO dues is a call that he has voiced since he hit the campaign trail three years ago.
At present, only five NATO member states – the US, UK, Greece, Estonia, and Poland – allocate two percent of their GDP to defense spending, a requirement for membership. In 2017, the US spent $686 billion on defense, over double the expenditure of all 28 other states combined.
While Macron is now in Trump’s firing line over defense spending, the US president had singled out Germany in the runup to a NATO summit in Brussels in July. As well as savaging Merkel’s government for spending just over 1.2 percent of its GDP on defense, Trump said that Germany is “totally captive to Russia,” referring to its reliance on Russian gas.
While the US underwrites most of Europe’s defense bill, more EU leaders than Macron have expressed discomfort at relying on Trump in recent months. Liberal MEP Guy Verhofstadt – a long-time advocate for a federal Europe – echoed Macron’s comments on Saturday, when he tweeted that Europe cannot be “unprepared for the America First Policy.”
The idea of an integrated EU army might make Macron and Merkel excited, but it has been criticized by more people than just Trump. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg responded to Macron’s radio interview by warning the French president not to take over NATO’s job.
“Two World Wars and a Cold War taught us the importance of doing things together,” he said at a conference in Berlin on Monday. “The reality is that we need one strong and capable command structure, we can’t divide those resources in two.”
MUST-SEE VIDEO: BROWARD COUNTY ELECTIONS OFFICIALS BLOCK VIEW AS BALLOTS ARE BUNDLED AND BAGGED IN DAVIE, FLORIDA VOTING CENTER
What are they hiding?
NOVEMBER 12, 2018
A concerned citizen filmed Broward County Elections officials bundling and bagging votes at a Davie, Florida voting center.
** Several women are seen on the floor bundling the ballots and stuffing them into blue canvas zip bags.
** But once the women notice they are being filmed another elections official moves carts and makes a wall so the concerned citizen could not film what was going on.
This is a STUNNING VIDEO!
So what are they hiding?
Florida Fraud Pushes Midterms Into Madness
In the Florida Senate race between Republican Rick Scott and Democrat Incumbent Bill Nelson the margin was close enough to warrant a hand recount.
While the Governor’s race triggered a machine recount between Republican Ron DeSantis who has a roughly 36,000-vote lead over Democratic nominee Andrew Gillum. While Democrat Nikki Fried led Republican Matt Caldwell by a handful of votes in the race for agriculture commissioner. Meanwhile, as trucks continued to pull up well after the deadlines, Brenda Snipes, the woman at the center of the Broward County Election fraud spectacle didn’t have any answers. Snipes wouldn’t even give regular updates to the state every 45 minutes as required by law, and has withheld the number of votes to be counted. It makes the average citizen wonder. Why do we have election laws in the first place?

Florida election meddling being investigated as Dems just happen to find lost ballots
NOVEMBER 9, 2018
As rumors of election fraud in Florida spread throughout the country, protesters have arrived outside the Broward County Elections Office, but are being blocked by four large trucks.
Update: Broward County Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes was caught on camera arguing with reporters who want to know how many outstanding ballots are left to be counted.
President Trump and Florida Governor Rick Scott have both mentioned investigating election fraud.
FL Judge To Broward County: Your Shoddy Vote Counting Operation Violated Open Records Laws
By Matt Vespa
Well, Gov. Rick Scott’s legal action against the shoddy ballot counting antics in two of the most liberal counties in the state seems to have clinched its first win: A Florida judge ruled that Broward County, the largest Democratic county in the state, was in violation of state law, and that Brenda Snipes, the county’s elections supervisor, was in violation of open records act. Ms. Snipes was not giving regular updates on how many outstanding ballots were left. She was just dumping vote counts in the late hours, which has chipped away at Scott’s lead, but the secrecy and the timing was suspect. Why is Broward taking so long? Hurricane Michael-ravaged counties have been able to count their ballots on time. Now, she must comply with records inspections by 7 P.M.
Scott has already declared victory over Democratic incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson. At the time, he was ahead by a little over 34,500 votes. It’s now around 18,000. Scott has a lead of less than half of one percent, so lawyers have been pouring into the state—and this isn’t the first time Ms. Snipes has been either violating the law or straight up been total garbage at her job.

Prominent Vox editor defends Antifa siege of Tucker Carlson, then deletes ALL tweets
After far-left protesters harassed Fox News host Tucker Carlson‘s family in an incident now being investigated as a potential hate crime, a Vox.com writer defended the intimidation – and then ate his words. All of them.
Matt Yglesias, prominent editor of Vox.com, tweeted in support of Smash Racism DC, an Antifa group whose members swarmed Carlson’s front yard and carried signs with his home address written on them in retaliation for Carlson’s supposed role in “spreading fear.”
Writing as if the only reason anyone could have for opposing the protesters’ actions was that they didn’t understand the intent behind them, Yglesias said scaring the Fox host’s wife into hiding was an OK thing to do – just bad tactics.
The response from social media was swift and vicious, and Yglesias – who has over 414,000 followers – has now deleted all his tweets.
The Antifa group Smash Racism, known for harassing their political opponents in public, encircled Carlson’s house late Wednesday night, chanting “Tucker Carlson, we will fight. We know where you sleep at night.” While Carlson was not home – he was preparing to go on the air – his wife was, and she locked herself in the pantry out of fear of the angry mob outside.

While it’s uncertain why he deleted his tweets, and whether it was because of the backlash, or anticipation thereof, Twitter wasted no time in speculating…

Leader of Spanish populist party aims to become ‘new Trump’
As we’ve reported earlier, something is happening in Spain, a country with a mostly socialist tradition. The VOX political movement, a populist right-wing party, is gaining momentum and has seen rapid growth in Spain.
“We stand for the same law-and-order and social conservative causes as Trump,” Santiago Abascal, the leader of the movement says in an interview.
To adopt Trump’s success and of the populist parties that are sweeping through Europe, Abascal has even consulted Trump’s former campaign strategist Steve Bannon.
By adopting Trump’s policies and consulting his former strategist, Vox could be aiming to become a Trump style party, with a Trump style leader.
Italy’s Interior Minister and leader of the largest party in the polls, Matteo Salvini, has already showed how that can work out really well.
According to the leader of Vox, Bannon’s advice was used to help setting up connections with related parties. An organisation like the Alliance of Conservatives and Reformists was used for that goal.
Spain, which has seen a change of government lately, is one of Europe’s new migrant hotspots. An import factor in that is the country’s socialist government implicitly invites migrants by offering welfare and even voting rights.
Like in most countries, the rise of the right comes with governments that ignore their citizen’s wishes. We will definitely hear more of Vox as it can even gain seats in the European Union’s parliamentary elections next year.
