Hillary Clinton is “too big to jail,” a presidential candidate not named Trump is alleging. Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein, who appeared Wednesday night with running mate, Ajuma Baraka, at a CNN Green Party town hall, blasted Clinton’s handling of classified information.
“Part of the problem, you know, with Hillary’s abuse of the rules,
she was sort of too big — you know, too big to jail on the rules,” Stein
said.
“And she violated those rules with a sense of impunity, and she
violated them for a purpose which she stated herself, that she wanted
her private information private.”
Stein alleged that Clinton had deleted “half of her e-mails” because
they were related to her “private personal foundation,” saying the
arrangement “really raises questions.” Jill Stein
“I do have serious questions about Hillary’s judgment, her
safeguarding of national security information, and above all, her
trustworthiness in the job where she will have her finger on the button,
given how she handled major decisions, both around the war in Iraq, but
then especially around the war in Libya, where she led the charge,”
Stein added.
The Green Party candidate is trying to latch onto the movement
started by Bernie Sanders in his Democratic primary challenge of
Clinton.
Stein credited Sanders “for having changed the political landscape
forever” and said, “the political system will never be the same.”
“Bernie himself said it’s a movement, it’s not a man. And it’s clear,
Hillary does not represent what you were working for,” Stein said.
it too difficult for you to fall asleep at night? You should try the 4-7-8 breathing technique that claims to help you nod off in 60 seconds! It sounds great, right? This method has been pioneered by Harvard- trained Dr. Andrew Weil, and it involves regulating your breathing to various counts of 4, 7, and 8. It’s very interesting that it lets the oxygen fill the lungs better, and it calms your mind. Some people have a hard time sleeping. We can chalk it up to bad food late at night, too many screens before bed, and stress. It is incredibly difficult to shut your brain down and give it a break at night. The question is, what is the method 4, 7 and 8 ? The method was developed by a wellness practitioner, Harvard-educated Dr. Andrew Weil, who studies meditation, breathing, and how it can be used to counteract stress. It’s very easy and simple. You breathe through your nose for four second, hold it for seven seconds, and exhale through your mouth for eight second...
Lame-duck presidents rarely get much done in their final year, or even try — clearing the field for election- year politics. But President Obama is plainly intent on feeding partisan rancor in 2016 — via unconstitutional overreach. He’s going big with executive action, damn the consequences. And he’s doing so on divisive issues from gun control to immigration. On New Year’s Eve, his Homeland Security Department announced new rules boosting the number of work visas for foreign-born US college graduates — well above the level approved by Congress. This, just weeks after language buried deep in the omnibus spending bill increased visas for working-class immigrants. And as immigration has become a bitter issue on the presidential campaign trail. On gun control, word is that an executive order to expand background checks on certain gun sales will come this week. Look: This issue’s been before Congress for at least two years — and gone nowhere. Worse, Obama’s c...
Cue the samba, light the fireworks and damn the mosquitoes — the 2016 Summer Olympics are on! Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana Stadium came alive with Latin music and the world’s fastest and strongest athletes at the Olympic Opening Ceremony Friday night, with US stars front and center. Olympic medal record holder Michael Phelps carried the Stars and Stripes at the head of Team USA, the largest contingent in the Games. The 554 members — wearing white pants, navy blazers and white and red striped shoes — drew thunderous applause as they marched through the stadium. “I’m honored to be chosen, proud to represent the US, and humbled by the significance of carrying the flag and all it stands for,” said Phelps, a 22-time swimming-medal winner. Brazil produced Friday night’s three-hour extravaganza on a shoestring budget, relying more on video effects than costly stage hardware. The ceremony began quietly with several projected images of water and presentations to pay tribute...
