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.
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...
Snapchat has apologized for approving and promoting an ad which asked users if they “would rather slap Rihanna or punch Chris Brown.” The ad, featured on the California-based social media platform, appeared to reference Brown’s conviction for assaulting Rihanna in his car after a pre-Grammy party in 2009. Rihanna, pictured posing with long red locks, is positioned next to the phrase “Slap Rihanna.” Brown is positioned directly under her, appearing to dance, next to the phrase “Punch Chris Brown.” Shocked Snapchat users took to other social media platforms to express their disgust and question why the ad was created in the first place. A Snapchat spokesperson told Sun Online: “The ad was reviewed and approved in error as it violates our advertising guidelines. We immediately removed the ad last weekend, once we became aware. We are sorry that this happened.” Social media user @TheRoyceMann took a screenshot of the advert on Sunday and tweeted: “Is it just me, or is...
Aclose-up view of Jupiter’s southern hemisphere A NASA spacecraft has captured the best views of Jupiter yet, revealing turbulent storms in the north pole. Jupiter’s northern polar region is stormier than expected and appears bluer than the rest of the planet, said mission chief scientist Scott Bolton of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. “This image is hardly recognizable as Jupiter,” he said in a statement. NASA on Friday released a batch of close-up pictures taken by the Juno spacecraft last week when it flew within 2,500 miles of Jupiter’s dense cloud tops. During the rendezvous that took Juno from pole to pole, the solar-powered spacecraft turned on its camera and instruments to collect data. The first glimpse of Jupiter’s poles came in 1974 when Pioneer 11 flew by on its way to Saturn. The detailed pictures taken by Juno look “like nothing we have seen or imagined before,” Bolton said. Juno also sent back unique views of Jup...
