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.
British officials plan to invite President-elect Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, to meet Queen Elizabeth II next summer in an attempt to cozy up him. The courtesy is being used as a “secret weapon” by the British government to coax Trump into securing a free-trade deal with them and to influence his thinking on NATO, Syria and foreign affairs, an insider told The Sunday Times of London. Trump told Brexit backers last weekend that he’s “looking forward to it” because his mother always loved the queen, a government source said.
Donald Trump came up with a new insult for Hillary Clinton on Friday, calling her a “thief” and charging that she sucks up to President Obama so he will keep her out of jail over her email scandal. “Hillary hates Obama. She’s hated him for years. Bill Clinton really hates Obama. I know that as a fact,” he said at an outdoor rally in Redding, Calif., where the temperature hit 104 degrees. Trump tore into Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state. “What a mess she’s in. Who would be so stupid to do what she did with her emails?” the presumptive GOP nominee said. “But I get why she did it — because she’s a thief. That’s why she did it,” he roared, adding a nickname to his usual favorite, “Crooked Hillary.” “Hillary Clinton should be in jail for what she did to our national security. She could have used a government server.” He claimed Clinton agrees with Obama’s policies only because she fears prosecution. “They are protecting her from going to ja...
Activists stage mock executions outside Saudi Arabia's embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, on April 1, 2010, after a Lebanese man was allegedly beheaded in Saudi Arabia for performing witchcraft. Photo: AP DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Saudi Arabia carried out at least 157 executions in 2015, with beheadings reaching their highest level in the kingdom in two decades, according to several advocacy groups that monitor the death penalty worldwide. Coinciding with the rise in executions is the number of people executed for non-lethal offenses that judges have wide discretion to rule on, particularly for drug-related crimes. Rights group Amnesty International said in November that at least 63 people had been executed since the start of the year for drug-related offenses. That figure made for at least 40 percent of the total number of executions in 2015, compared to less than 4 percent for drug-related executions in 2010. Amnesty said Saudi Arabia had exceeded its hig...
