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...
Despite the fall chill that took over Sunday during Paris fashion week, actress and fashion darling Dakota Fanning sashayed her way into Valentino’s show wearing the most popular runway trend we’ve seen all week in the City of Light, from Saint Laurent to John Galliano: a see-through black dress with a bra and pair of high-waisted underwear styled underneath. Never mind that scandalous description. Fanning — a true fashion veteran — nailed the look. The starlet paired her sleeveless lace number with minimal but matching accessories: a small black purse and strappy black heels. A slew of stars — Jessica Alba, Diane Kruger and Hailee Steinfeld, to name a few — accompanied Fanning on the front row for designer Pierpaolo Piccoli’s solo debut at the storied house. And what was on offer? A revamped, confident take on the brand’s signature designs: shiny, pleated frocks, ethereal gowns, micro-mini cross-body handbags, and, of course, a variety of takes on Fanning’s flirty...

This decision was taken after a motion sponsored by Dino Melaye, chairman, Senate committee on Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The motion was titled non-payment of teachers salaries across the country. The Senate also urged the federal government to immediately enter into negotiations with the states and come up with a comprehensive intervention scheme to fully address this national emergency for action. It also urged government at all levels to begin the implementation of a priority expenditure scheme that puts the payment of teachers salaries at the same wrung on public expenditures as security. Melaye who read the motion said that the Senate is disturbed by the difficult financial situation that some states are experiencing because of the current dwindling economic situation. He said the Senate is worried and ...
