~ “I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.
Former U. S. intelligence contractor, Dennis Montgomery walked away with a treasure trove of NSA and CIA classified documents which exceeds whistleblower, Edward Snowden’s stolen cache.
Comey may rue the day since Montgomery is now suing Barack Obama, NSA Director Mike Rodgers, CIA Director Mike Brennan and the former FBI director have been named in a lawsuit charging that Comey did not investigate going so far as to cover up the spying on Americans which by the NSA courtesy of the use of supercomputers provided by the FBI.
…And now he is suing former FBI Director James Comey and other government figures, alleging the bureau has covered up evidence he provided them showing widespread spying on Americans that violated civil liberties.
Montgomery says the evidence he gave to the FBI chronicle the warrantless collection of phone, financial and personal data and the unmasking of identities in spy data about millions of Americans[…]

What the heck did former FBI Director, James Comey, do besides showboating the past 9 years? Or should we add this to the list of the many coverups by James Comey.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) sent a memo to Republican Committee members detailing new documents related to Operation Fast and Furious. These documents reveal efforts by senior officials at the Department of Justice to withhold key materials related to the botched gunwalking operation.
Chairman Jason Chaffetz released the following statement on the documents:
“Transparency should not require years of litigation and a court order. These documents illustrate the lengths to which this administration went in order to limit and block access to subpoenaed information. Calculated efforts were made by senior DOJ officials to obstruct Congress. This attempt to prioritize a political agenda ahead of facts is unsettling and unacceptable.”
Background:
The Fast and Furious operation was responsible for allowing approximately 2,000 firearms to illegally flow into the hands of criminals, including Mexican drug cartel associates. On December 14, 2010, Customs and Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, a United States Marine, was killed while on patrol just miles from the Mexican border. The firearms found at the scene were semi-automatic rifles that were allowed to walk as part of Operation Fast and Furious.
Congressional Republicans have investigated Fast and Furious since January 2011. Over the course of the investigation, the Justice Department has provided false information, stonewalled document requests, produced scores of blacked-out pages and duplicate documents, and refused to comply with two congressional subpoenas.
In August 2012, the U.S. House of Representatives Office of General Counsel filed suit against the Justice Department.
On January 19, 2016, United States District Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued her opinion and ordered DOJ release documents previously withheld under the President’s executive privilege claim. On April 8, 2016, DOJ complied with the Judge’s order, delivering more than 20,500 pages of documents to the Committee.
The State Department may wait until after the November election to finish its review of classified information former Secretary Hillary Clinton sent on her secret email account, a spokesman said Tuesday, vowing they will not be held to the political calendar.
“We’re not going to rush judgment of any of these things,” spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
Mrs. Clinton, who rejected use of an account tied to the official state.gov secure email system and instead relied on an account tied to a server she kept…
Of course, the GOP establishment will stomp their feet with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio participating in the feigned outrage, the fix is in.
The Progressive establishment of both parties will push this investigation back until after the November elections as they launch Hillary Clinton toward the White House.
Should Clinton prevail, the investigation will be swept under the rug.
THE FIX IS IN.
The Republican Party has sold their souls and our future along with it….just to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.
“The problem here is, no level of lead is safe,” Landrigan says. “Even low levels of lead — especially if exposure to low levels continues over many months — is going to cause some degree of brain damage to at least some of the children who have been exposed — that’s a big deal. Exposed children are at risk for a number of problems, including lower IQ scores, developmental delays, and behavioral issues such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Even after lead exposure stops, the effects can last for years or even be permanent.”
For the rest of their lives, the residents of Flint will watch their health deteriorate over time, and they will know exactly who is responsible — but will have no course of action to right their wrongs.
In any other instance in which an individual or group of individuals is harmed by another person or group, those individuals could seek damages. However, thanks to what is called the doctrine of sovereign immunity in the United States, the government cannot be sued unless it has waived its immunity or consented to the suit.
Because of this immoral immunity, according to Shikha Dalmia at The Week, some activist lawyers in Michigan have come up with a creative constitutional argument to try and surmount the sovereign immunity hurdle. They have filed a class action lawsuit on the grounds that the government failed to provide Flint residents with equal protection under the 14th Amendment […]
Fresh bottled water placed in a state building in Flint beginning in January 2015 was for employees and visitors, as concerns about the city’s water quality were rising but before lead was discovered in it, a spokesman for Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder said Friday.
Spokesman Dave Murray said he didn’t know if workers promoted that it was available, but no signs prohibited the public from drinking water from the coolers. One water cooler was placed on each floor and next to public drinking fountains in the building that includes the Department of Health and Human Services, he said.
Murray also says the water was provided until the summer, and then returned in October after a public health emergency was declared. Another state spokesman had said earlier it was provided continuously in the building.
Progress Michigan, a liberal group critical of Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, released state emails Thursday describing how water was being provided to the building.
“I had no knowledge of that taking place,” Snyder said Friday.
The water coolers were introduced after Flint officials warned residents about elevated levels of a disinfection byproduct called trihalomethane in the city’s water. Flint notified water customers at the time that it was in violation of the Safe Drinking Water Act because of those levels and cautioned the elderly, infants and people with compromised immune systems.….
Happening across the United States, this is clearly a dereliction of duty(ies).
What are the odds of that this is nationwide government experiment?
Kathleen Willey knows what intimidation is. One of the women who famously accused former president Bill Clinton of sexual assault, she used a radio interview Sunday to urge other sex victims to speak up.
“I would just like to encourage any woman who has suffered at the hands of Bill Clinton to please try to find the courage and bravery to come forth,” she said on Aaron Klein’s Investigative Radio. “Because it’s OK now. Nobody can hurt you now. It’s as simple as that. Nobody can touch you now. The word is out. You will be OK but you will be doing the right thing for all the right reasons and you will be helping your fellow sisters.”
Breitbart reported that Willey demanded Hillary Clinton submit to a lie detector test to answer questions about whether she engaged in campaigns to silence or intimidate her husband’s female accusers […]
Charles Woods, the father of Tyrone Woods, one of the four men killed at Benghazi told One America News reporter Neil W. McCabe that despite denials by Hillary Clinton, he sticks by his story that Clinton told him a YouTube video was responsible for the attacks on American diplomatic facilities and personnel at Benghazi, Libya. Woods said Clinton was calling call him, and other family members of the men killed, liars. The retired administrative law judge said Clinton should take a lie detector test alongside him to see who is telling the truth.
