Judicial Watch Calls For Prosecution Of Candidate Clinton For Criminal Acts




[From Judicial Watch President]
FBI Director James Comey detailed Hillary Clinton’s massive destruction of government records and grossly negligent handling of classified information. Frankly, there’s a disconnect between Comey’s devastating findings and his weak recommendation not to prosecute Hillary Clinton. Federal prosecutors, independent of politics, need to consider whether to pursue the potential violations of law confirmed by the FBI.
Judicial Watch helped break open the Clinton email scandal and, in the meantime, will independently continue its groundbreaking litigation and investigation.

Ex-President Clinton Accused of Violating Election Laws



Bill Clinton campaigning for Hillary

[From article]
Nearly 100,000 people have signed an online petition calling for Bill Clinton’s arrest for violating Massachusetts election law on Super Tuesday by campaigning close to — and even inside — polling places.
The drive was launched by supporters of Bernie Sanders, who accused Bubba of stumping for his wife, Hillary, within 150 feet of a polling location in New Bedford and inside others in Newton and Boston’s West Roxbury neighborhood.
“This is a call for the immediate arrest of President Bill Clinton for clear, knowing and egregious violation of the campaign laws to swing an election in a significant way. It could not be any clearer in the Massachusetts General Laws,” the petition states.
Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin’s Web site says, “On Election Day, certain activities are prohibited within the polling location and within 150 feet of the polling place,” including the “solicitation of votes for or against, or any other form of promotion or opposition of, any person or political party.”
The Sanders supporters said photos prove the ex-prez violated the law by attending a rally outside a polling place in New Bedford and entering polling stations in the other two communities.

“Although the spokesperson for Bill Clinton denies that he was ever inside a polling place, photos and video show him clearly greeting and talking up election workers inside,” the petition reads.
[. . .]
“He had the right to go into the polling locations, and say ‘Hello’ to workers who were there. The issue is, you can’t go inside and say, ‘Vote for my wife,’ or ‘Vote for Hillary,’ ” Galvin told The Boston Globe.
The Globe reported that’s precisely what Clinton did
“Pull the lever for Hillary,” he told one voter at the Boston polling place, the paper reported.
In New Bedford, he thanked his wife’s supporters with a bullhorn just outside a polling place.
“Thank you all for participating. I especially thank those of you who are supporting Hillary,” he shouted, the Globe reported.
Petitioners fired back at Galvin’s dismissal of the complaints.
“Bill Clinton does not vote in Massachusetts, and would have no other business in a polling station on election day besides campaigning for his wife,” the petition on Change.org states.
Veronica Wolski of Chicago, who started the petition, slammed the Clintons’ flouting of election laws.
“This malfeasance, on the part of the Clinton campaign, will not go unchallenged,” she said.

Sanctuary City Officials Violate Federal Laws, Should Be Arrested




[From article]
While mayors that say Trump’s proposal is illegal and immoral are free to criticize the GOP frontrunner, they are not free to break federal immigration law and refuse to cooperate with federal authorities regarding the detention and deportation of illegal aliens. It’s not a small point, but one that is lost on a bunch of mayors led by Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, who has declared Trump persona non grata in the City of Brotherly Love.
[. . .]
Nutter signed an executive order proclaiming Philadelphia a sanctuary city in 2014, barring city police and prison officials from cooperating with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. It was just such a policy that condemned American citizen Kate Steinle to death at the hands of an illegal alien criminal, Juan Francisco Lopez, who had been deported five times and had seven felony convictions. That policy also led to the death of Jamiel Shaw Jr. in Los Angeles. Being a sanctuary city is illegal. State and local authorities cannot refuse to enforce federal law. Of course, who is going to call sanctuary cities to account when the President of the United States refuses to enforce our immigration laws.
[. . .]
The sanctuary policies that led to the murder of Shaw are now full-blown federal policies under Obama. "We're not in the business of deporting millions of people or of breaking up families," he says. We're also not in the business of deporting criminal illegal aliens….
…President Obama was telling employees at Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they had better enforce his executive amnesty orders or else.
Speaking at a Miami town hall meeting sponsored by MSNBC and Telemundo, Obama said "there may be (an) ICE official or Border Patrol agent not paying attention to our new directives. If somebody's working for ICE . . . and they don't follow the policy, there's going to be consequences to it."
[. . .]
So the sanctuary city mayors who are condemning Donald Trump are releasing rapists, murders, and assorted predators to harm Americans. Where is the outrage about that?

Cambridge, MA Zoning Board Open Meetings Law Violation



Cambridge, MA City Hall

Here's an example of negligent training of a Cambridge, MA City official, chairman of the Board of Zoning Appeals. It seems to be a clear violation of the MA Open Meetings Law, the First Amendment of the US Constitution and the MA Constitution. But also a felony under MA General Laws Chapter 265, Sec. 37, The Civil Rights Statute. It can be malfeasance, and abuse of power. Goes to show that freedom is not free and you must stand up for, and fight for your rights. Here's the video.

Iran Nuclear Weapons Deal Violates Two US Laws




[From article]
Some senior U.S. officials involved in the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal have privately concluded that a key sanctions relief provision – a concession to Iran that will open the doors to tens of billions of dollars in U.S.-backed commerce with the Islamic regime – conflicts with existing federal statutes and cannot be implemented without violating those laws, Fox News has learned.
[. . .]



In short, this means that foreign subsidiaries of U.S. parent companies will, under certain conditions, be allowed to do business with Iran. The problem is that the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act (ITRA), signed into law by President Obama in August 2012, was explicit in closing the so-called “foreign sub” loophole.
[. . .]



What’s more, ITRA contains language, in Section 605, requiring that the terms spelled out in Section 218 shall remain in effect until the president of the United States certifies two things to Congress: first, that Iran has been removed from the State Department’s list of nations that sponsor terrorism, and second, that Iran has ceased the pursuit, acquisition, and development of weapons of mass destruction.
Additional executive orders and statutes signed by President Obama, such as the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act, have reaffirmed that all prior federal statutes relating to sanctions on Iran shall remain in full effect.
[. . .]



As the Iran deal is an “executive agreement” and not a treaty – and has moreover received no vote of ratification from the Congress, explicit or symbolic – legal analysts inside and outside of the Obama administration have concluded that the JCPOA is vulnerable to challenge in the courts, where federal case law had held that U.S. statutes trump executive agreements in force of law.
[. . .]



Likewise, in a speech at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy last month, Adam Szubin, the acting under secretary of Treasury for terrorism and financial crimes, described Iran as “the world’s foremost sponsor of terrorism” and said existing U.S. sanctions on the regime “will continue to be enforced….U.S. investment in Iran will be prohibited across the board.”
[. . .]



One administration lawyer contacted by Fox News said the re-opening of the loophole reflects circular logic with no valid legal foundation. “It would be Alice-in-Wonderland bootstrapping to say that [Section] 601 gives the president the authority to restore the foreign subsidiary loophole – the exact opposite of what the statute ordered,” said the attorney, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations over implementation of the Iran deal.
[. . .]
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), the G.O.P. presidential candidate who is a Harvard-trained lawyer and ardent critic of the Iran deal, said the re-opening of the loophole fits a pattern of the Obama administration enforcing federal laws selectively.

More Clinton Campaign Violations Two Felonies in Nevada



FELONY #1? Hillary For Nevada worker Henry Engelstein told potential voters, while registering them, that he was seeking electoral support for Clinton.


FELONY #2? Engelstein denigrates Trump in the video in Spanish, calling the Republican front-runner 'Un payaso muy grande' (a giant clown).

[From article]
A Hillary Clinton campaign worker has been caught on film apparently committing a felony by advising Las Vegas Hispanics how to vote while he is helping them register.
Hidden camera footage shows Henry Engelstein, identified as a campaign 'fellow,' reeling in Spanish-speaking Nevadans on a Las Vegas street with a comical picture of Donald Trump on his smartphone.
'THIS IS MY RESTING B**CH FACE,' the photo's caption reads, meme-style.
'Un payaso muy grande, si!' Engelstein tells passers-by. ('Yes! A giant clown!') In the video, shown to DailyMail.com exclusively by the conservative group Project Veritas Action, he boasts that Latinos' anger against the billionaire Republican front-runner is ample motivation for them to register as voters.
[. . .]
At the same time, Engelstein hammers home his enthusiasm for the former secretary of state, telling them: 'Hillary Clinton es muy bueno. Nosotros trabajando para la campaña de Hillary aquí en Las Vegas. Necesito el apoyo de la gente en la comunidad.'
In English, he is saying: 'Hillary Clinton is very good. We are working for Hillary's campaign here in Las Vegas. I need the support of people in the community.'
The video also shows Engelstein appearing excited by his success rate, and placing a phone call to a colleague in search of reinforcements.
'Come here. Come here,' he says in English. 'There's like hundreds and hundreds of people and I just flash a picture of Donald Trump on my phone and they all sign up.'
'[I've] literally just been flashing this picture,' Englestein tells fellow Clinton campaign worker Phillip Kim when he arrives, showing off the 'B**CH FACE' meme of Trump.
James O'Keefe, the swashbuckling right-winger known for exposing the sale of 'Obamaphones' in Cleveland and bringing down the liberal organizing group ACORN with a prostitution sting, told DailyMail.com that his organization is engaged in a full-court Clinton press.
[. . .]
Nevada law makes advocating for or against a candidate during the voter-registration process a Class E felony.
[. . .]
Section 10 of Nevada Revised Statute 293, Section 505 prohibits any 'person assisting a voter' with registration from 'solicit[ing] a vote for or against a particular ... candidate' or speaking with them in any way about whom to vote for.
Penalties include a jail term of between 1 and 4 years.
Engelstein couldn't be reached on Wednesday.
A Clinton campaign spokesman initially declined to comment without seeing the video footage in advance.

He told them in Spanish that Trump is 'a giant clown' and that 'Hillary Clinton is very good'
Nevada election law makes it a felony to advise anyone about how to vote when helping them register; penalties range from 1 to 4 years in prison
Video footage is conservative guerilla filmmaker James O'Keefe's latest offering; his organization says it won't release all its footage of Engelstein

Updated: Hillary Clinton Campaign Lawyer Hides, After Advising Illegal Acts; Previously Ejected For Practicing Without License


Posted September 16, 2015 9:02 PM ET; Last updated September 29, 2015 10:39 PM ET


Hillary Clinton Campaign Attorney Christina Gupana


[From article]
The law-evading Hillary Clinton campaign-staffer who was recently snared by undercover video-journalist James O’Keefe was also kicked out a courtroom when she tried to practice law without a law license in 2014.
Christine Gupana, a law graduate and a Hillary For Nevada fellow, was caught urging apparent Clinton staffers and volunteers to register voters without first getting a needed license from a county clerk. “Do whatever you can. Whatever you can get away with, just do it, until you get kicked out, like, totally,” Gupana said in O’Keefe’s video.
Gupana has gone into virtual hiding since the video’s release, and Nevada election officials in the Secretary of State’s office have opened a formal investigation into her conduct on the Clinton campaign.
In 2014, court records reveal that Gupana was removed from a case after a judge found that she was not a member of the U.S. District Court’s Bar, and thus not licensed to work on the case.

[From article]
The Nevada immigration attorney and Hillary Clinton campaign fellow has gone into hiding since she was captured in a James O’Keefe video apparently conspiring to violate election laws. Gupana told who she thought were Hillary Clinton campaign staffers and volunteers to “Do whatever you can. Whatever you can get away with, just do it, until you get kicked out, like, totally.” Gupana seemed to know that none of these volunteers were licensed to register voters by a county clerk, as required by law in Nevada.
Breitbart News reported Friday that Nevada election officials are now investigating the Hillary Clinton campaign to determine if Gupana or other campaign staffers broke the law.
So what has Gupana been up to?
She deleted the website for her law practice
Gupanalaw.com is no longer active. Gupana bragged on the now-defunct website that she was able to withdraw a conviction for a client whose previous immigration lawyer gave her bad advice.

Clinton Campaign Lawyers Encourage Illegal Actions




[From article]
According to the video, it is a felony in the state of Nevada for anyone involved in the voter registration process to “solicit a vote for or against a particular question or candidate; speak to a voter on the subject of marking his or her ballot for or against a particular question or candidate.”
The video appears to show that numerous Hillary Clinton campaign staffers are well aware of the law. Nevertheless, the video shows them laughing at the law and repeatedly bragging about violating it by promoting Hillary Clinton verbally and with campaign literature as they attempt to register potential voters.
The Project Veritas video further appears to show that the Clinton campaign staff solicits voter registration in close proximity to state offices, which may also violate Nevada law
According to the video, when the attorney in question, identified as Christina Gupana, was told about this alleged lawbreaking, she advised the staffers to, “Do whatever you can. Whatever you can get away with, just do it, until you get kicked out like totally.”
More than one staffer says that the campaign’s motto towards these laws is “Ask for forgiveness, not for permission.”

U.S. Department of Education Violates Federal Law Interfering With School Curriculum. What Obama Appointee Does Not Violate Laws?




[From article]
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), the purity of whose liberalism is wondrous, says education today consists of two worlds. One is "of contractors and consultants, and academics and experts, and plenty of officials at the federal, state and local level." The other is of those who teach, and "the footprint of that first world has become way too big in their lives."
Existing law forbids federal officials from exercising "any direction, supervision, or control over the curriculum, program of instruction, administration, or personnel of any educational institution." Existing practices ignore the law, especially by using $4.35 billion in Race to the Top funds to bribe states to accept the Common Core standards (to which tests and hence texts are "aligned"). Alexander understands the futility of trying to lasso the federal locomotive with a cobweb of words. His solution is a portion of his 1981 proposal: Devolve to states all responsibility for evaluating schools, students and teachers.
[. . .]
Although liberal academia deserves its government-inflicted miseries, Alexander's next project will be the deregulation of higher education. The need for which he demonstrates by unfurling the taped-together 10 pages — more than nine feet — of forms containing more than 100 questions students must answer when applying for federal aid.
[. . .]
In 2010, before Obama's vandalism against the separation of powers had confronted the country with the most lawless presidency since Richard Nixon's, Pence delivered an address in which he said, "The president is not our teacher, our tutor, our guide or ruler." There is a presidential "duty of self-restraint" because "a president who slights the Constitution is like a rider who hates his horse: he will be thrown, and the nation along with him."

White House Blocks Pentagon Report on Russian Treaty Breach




[From article]
The White House is blocking the release of a Pentagon risk assessment of Russia’s violation of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty, according to a senior House leader.
Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee, disclosed the existence of the Pentagon assessment last month and said the report is needed for Congress’ efforts to address the problem in legislation.
“As we look to the near-term future, we need to consider how we’re going to respond to Russia’s INF violations,” Rogers said in an Air Force Association breakfast July 8. “Congress will not continue to tolerate the administration dithering on this issue.”
Rogers said the assessment was conducted by chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey, and noted that it outlines potential responses to the treaty breach.
However, Rogers noted that the assessment “seems to stay tied up in the White House.”
[. . .]
Haney said Russia has “walked away” from international norms and treaties and “that is very problematic.”
“While at the same time I get to see and witness [Russia’s] very forthright execution that is occurring with the New START treaty that they are adhering to completely, this piece on the INF treaty is very problematic and we have to continue to encourage Russia to get back into compliance with the treaty,” Haney said.
The treaty violation was first disclosed by the State Department last year and details remain shrouded in secrecy.
[. . .]
A department arms compliance report stated that the breach involved a new missile that violates the limits set by the treaty. The treaty bans holding, producing, or flight-testing ground-launched ballistic or cruise missiles with ranges of between 310 miles and 3,418 miles.
Rogers was asked what steps Congress should take if the administration continues to ignore the treaty violation.
“Well, the fact is we haven’t been doing enough so far,” he said. “It was only about a year and a half ago that the administration finally acknowledged that Russia has been violating the INF Treaty. But we know they’ve been violating it for several years.”
[. . .]
“Russia has repeatedly threatened to attack these sites and the U.S. personnel who man them, and the Committee believes we have a moral obligation to defend our personnel against any threat,” the report said.
[. . .]
Moscow’s refusal to return to compliance with the accord indicates it should be abandoned.
“Russia’s aggressive and illegal behavior and the inability of the United States to bring Russia back into compliance with the INF Treaty indicate that the treaty has outlived its utility and is no longer in the U.S. interest,” [Michaela Dodge] said.

Psychiatry Thwarts Second Amendment Rights




[From article]
The database, established in the aftermath of the mass shooting in 2012 at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and maintained by the state Division of Criminal Justice Services, is the result of the Safe Act. It is an expansive package of gun control measures pushed through by the administration of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo. The law, better known for its ban on assault weapons, compels licensed mental health professionals in New York to report to the authorities any patient “likely to engage in conduct that would result in serious harm to self or others.”
[. . .]
Similar laws in other states have raised the ire of gun rights proponents, who worry that people who posed no threat at all would have their rights infringed. Mental health advocates have also argued that the laws unnecessarily stigmatized people with mental illnesses.
Because the names in New York’s database and the circumstances of their cases are private, it is impossible to independently determine whether the people in it are truly dangerous.
The database figures were obtained by The New York Times through a Freedom of Information Law request.
[. . .]
Kenneth M. Glatt, commissioner of mental hygiene for Dutchess County, said that at first, he had carefully scrutinized every name sent to him through the Safe Act. But then he realized that he was just “a middleman,” and that it was unlikely he would ever meet or examine any of the patients. So he began simply checking off the online boxes, sometimes without even reviewing the narrative about a patient.

Homeland Security Violated Law by Releasing Illegal Aliens, Employs Obama-Holder Doctrine--Laws Are Optional





[From article]
The Obama administration broke the law when it released thousands of illegal immigrants, more than 600 of whom had criminal records, last February as a result of poor planning and micromanagement from Washington, according to an internal audit released Tuesday that says things have not improved in the 18 months since.
Compounding matters, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) gave bad information to Congress, initially blaming the looming budget sequester, rather than the agency’s own budget pressures, the Homeland Security inspector general concluded.
[. . .]
ICE released nearly 1,500 immigrants in one late February weekend, just ahead of the March 1, 2013, start of the sequesters, or across-the-board cuts.
When the releases became public, ICE agents had to try to round up many of the immigrants they had released after being told the law designated some of them as “mandatory” detainees because of public safety risks or fears they might abscond.

Film Maker Charged With Campaign Finance Violation, Political Motivation


[From article]
“This is not some far-out Orwellian scenario,” wrote the late William Safire of The New York Times in 2002, in the panicky aftermath of 9/11. “Here is what will happen to you: Every purchase you make with a credit card, every magazine subscription you buy and medical prescription you fill, every Web site you visit and e-mail you send or receive . . . will go into what the Defense Department describes as ‘a virtual, centralized grand database.’ 
[. . .]
Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz doesn’t think so. “The idea of charging him with a felony for this doesn’t sound like a proper exercise of prosecutorial discretion,” he said. “I can’t help but think that [D’Souza’s] politics have something to do with it . . . It smacks of selective prosecution.”

Cambridge City Council Exhibits Cognitive Dissonance



Cambridge, MA City Council 2011-13

[From article]
The letter to the Attorney General argues the complaint should be dismissed chiefly because it came to council approximately six months after the alleged violation occurred. State law requires complaints to be filed within 30 days of the alleged violation or 30 days from when the alleged violation “could reasonably have been discovered.”
[. . .]
Reeves said there was an “omnibus” provision in the council rules that state, “We can do whatever we want when we want to do it, too.”
[. . .]
Reeves said. “I hope [the complaint] goes to the Attorney General, to the U.S. Attorney and to the president of the world to clear my name because I care about what is being said about me. If I’m doing some nefarious thing, I usually tell you it’s a nefarious thing.”

What is perplexing is how the City Solicitor and the City Council asserts a legal defense to a complaint about an open meetings law violation. It is only one of many city and state and U.S. laws regularly and for many years violated by the city council. The council defiantly violated its own rules for many years making all of what they do questionable. In Cambridge, in the state of Massachusetts bureaucracies, and taking a leadership role in the current White House the politicians flagrantly exhibit contempt for the U.S. Constitution and laws of the United States. Contrary to their oaths of offices, these officials show a relaxed attitude toward laws. Perhaps it is the way that Harvard University is granted the option to disobey inconvenient laws, that makes the local, state and US government follow their lead. It is laughable that Reeves cites a council rule which he says allows them to do whatever they want to do. That explains Reeves' conduct when running council meetings. The main rule that the councilors know is to suspend the rules. That makes rules unnecessary. What is so difficult for adults to learn Robert's Rules of Order? I learned them when I was 13 years old, to run high school fraternity meetings. Reeves has a Harvard College degree and one from the University of Michigan Law School. He certainly has the intellectual ability to learn those rules. More worrisome is Reeves' comment about "the president of the world" and that he "admits" his nefarious acts. Hahaha.

Cambridge Resident Files Open Meetings Law Complaint


"Charles D. Teague ’74 [. . .] In the complaint, filed on Oct. 17, Teague alleges that [Councillors] violated the state Open Meeting Law [while discussing] a rezoning petition by MIT." Nadeem Mazen: “For politicians, there is a higher bar and the appearance of impropriety is impropriety." This sounds nice, except in Massachusetts especially in Cambridge, voters and taxpayers share relaxed rectitude of the City Councilors and city officials. Elected officials in the United States are weak, with relaxed rectitude, the preferred kind of person to give power, by business interests who's focus is stealing taxpayer money using government mechanisms and laws passed by the weak officials. It is Roger Morris' observation in Partners in Power, about the Clintons.
