http://lawnewz.com/uncategorized/the-longtime-clinton-attorney-now-representing-hillary-in-fbis-criminal-probe/

Several reports indicate that the FBI investigation has entered its final stages. So it is no surprise that Clinton would need a lawyer by her side, and who better than the man who has been loyal to the Clinton family for more than twenty years. The choice of Kendall is not shocking as he’s also been handling the State Department and Senate’s inquiry into her private emails for months now. There was some speculation that as the investigation reportedly intensified, she may hire another attorney to deal with the FBI’s probe specifically, but Clinton is staying with a friend she knows well.

Okay, so I had to look at another of your links, and the second one is too fucking funny. Why would you link to that??? The OP is a smear against Bernie ffs!

Here are my posts from that OP. Forgive me if I miss any. Which ones are the ones where I said Hillary has a criminal lawyer and any time now she will be indicted?















Those were just from the first two OPs you linked to. Sorry I just don't have time to continue on the wild goose chase you have provided. That's some really good investigative work you've done there, you should apply to Faux Noise. I'd say you meet their standards. Possibly even exceed them!

suspected of committing a crime, which is bad enough for Dems to have one of our presidential candidates under FBI investigation.

Clinton simply lacks judgment for having set up that secret email server in the first place, but for her staff to then strip off classification markings from documents before emailing them to her was a very serious lapse in judgment.

64. Pope Suggests Critics of Sanders Meeting 'See a Psychiatrist'

Apr 2016
http://www.haaretz.com/world-news/u-s-election-2016/1.714722?utm_source=dlvr.it

Pope Francis said on Saturday that his meeting with Bernie Sanders, contesting the Democratic candidacy for the U.S. Presidency, was not meddling in politics and that anyone who thought otherwise should "look for a psychiatrist".

Sanders and the pope met briefly on Saturday at the Vatican guest house where Francis lives and where Sanders spent the night after addressing a Vatican conference on social justice.

"When I came down, I greeted him, I shook his hand and nothing more. This is called good manners and it is not getting involved in politics," the pope told reporters in answer to a question aboard the plane returning from the Greek island of Lesbos, where he visited a refugee camp.


Where did you get your news about some jumping???
