Vowing to defeat ISIS, Clinton takes on Donald Trump

"the bombastic reality TV star into a potential commander in chief with his finger on a nuclear trigger — an image her team believes will repel voters in November." -article

Donald J. Trump, Christmas came early for ISIS. Trump is the greatest recruiter ISIS could ever ask for frm Santa. Trump's incubator of anger fulments the cancer of hate, the fuek ISIS needs to kill. Trump, terror maker in chief.

You can't make me believe embracing ISIS with open arms would end the atrocities. Ignoring ISIS lets them grow. Confronting ISIS is the only solution.

They are not economically depressed, they are not reacting to hate, and they are not growing due to climate change. ISIS has a sole purpouse, eliminate any and all who do not fit their world and that includes children. They've burned caged people for goodness sake. They've had children execute men. ISIS is pure evil. ISIS thrived before Trump was on stage. ISIS was not JV Leage four years ago. ISIS must be destroyed!

Donald J. Trump, Christmas came early for ISIS. Trump is the greatest recruiter ISIS could ever ask for from Santa.

You keep saying that, but you never mention that Obama is primarily responsible for causing this latest outgrowth of radical Jihadism because of his unwillingness to engage the enemy, even after it was recommended to him by the Pentagon and some of the highest ranked generals to take action to combat this new menace and Obama just called them a "JV" team??

Trump's incubator of anger fulments the cancer of hate, the fuek ISIS needs to kill. Trump, terror maker in chief.

The hate really does come from the left, they just can't help themselves and judging by the polls, I would be hating too, if I was a Liberal. ROFL

Yea, liberals are the greatest hypocrites Bass. The anger, rage and hate they show is shocking to me. all you need to do is have a different opinion and whamo! You have just became an enemy. Almost as if they want to control other people's thinking. It's their way or the highway.

Trump is abrasive in delivery. Trump pushes the envelope. Trump also controls the media attention. IF Trump is the nominee his tone will change. Trump is not sexist or racist and he is an intelligent man.

The choice looks like it'll be known-known warmonger Hillary, or unknown-unknown warmonger Trump. Trump is stirring up the come-and-take-it heehawdists, those yearning tragically (Catch 22) for his brand of authoritarian nationalism, which makes him the scarier alternative. And so falls the empire.

According to Jeb Bush, get ready for President Cruz!

Trump is not sexist or racist and he is an intelligent man.

I agree with you, except for the parts about not being sexist or racist. And the intelligent man part is questionable as well.

Trump is not sexist or racist and he is an intelligent man.

We have his behavior and quotes to prove that he has sexist and racist tendencies and that he's not that intelligent. What evidence do you have that prove otherwise?

In a speech Wednesday at Stanford University, Clinton called for “strong, smart, steady leadership,”......Well that rules her out.

I can not take her seriously.....lies fall from her mouth like one fills a toilet. You will get nothing from her except more lies. She should be in jail....not running for president.

For instance,I am assuming by now anyone reading this article is already well acquainted with the basic facts surrounding Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server, so lets go straight to analyzing how her actions fall within the purview of the relevant statute.

18 U.S.C. § 1924 – Unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material — provides, in part:

(a)Whoever, being an officer… of the United States, and by virtue of his office… becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.

…

(c) In this section, the term “classified information of the United States” means information originated, owned, or possessed by the United States Government concerning the national defense or foreign relations of the United States that has been determined pursuant to law or Executive order to require protection against unauthorized disclosure in the interests of national security.

In order to satisfy the elements of this statute, one must prove Clinton knowingly removed and retained classified materials at an unauthorized location. Mr. Abrams essentially argues that the classification process is often marred by bureaucratic infighting over what is and what it not classified, so it would be unreasonable to expect Clinton to be able to figure it out on her own. Therefore, he argues, Clinton could not have acted “knowingly” because none of her emails were “marked classified” at the time she removed them.

While such an argument may seem reasonable at first blush, it is no longer believable based on the definition of “classified information” and what we now know about Clinton’s e-mails.

Section 1924 provides the definition of “classified information” as any “information originated, owned, or possessed by the United States Government concerning … foreign relations … that has been determined pursuant to … Executive order… to require protection against unauthorized disclosure.”

Executive Order 13526 sets out the standards for classifiable information as any information pertaining to “foreign governments” or “foreign relations or foreign activities” which if disclosed “could reasonably be expected to cause identifiable or describable damage to the national security.”

Finally, upon her appointment as Secretary of State, Clinton signed a classified information non-disclosure agreement in which she agreed to certain conditions and obligations in consideration of her being granted access to classified information. As part of the agreement, Clinton acknowledged receiving and understanding a “security indoctrination” concerning the nature and protection of classified information. Furthermore, the agreement stated classified information could be both “marked and unmarked” and “unclassified information that meets the standards for classification and is in the process of a classification determination….”

Based on this information, it is clear that Hillary Clinton knew or should have known that at least some of her 55,000 pages of emails were likely to contain classified information, as defined under Section 1924. Clinton was not the victim of an overzealous classification system; the fact that over 1,300 of her e-mails have now been officially “marked” classified nullifies that argument. The fact is, it is simply no longer believable to think Clinton could not have anticipated that at least some of her e-mails, regardless of marking, might contain classified information. This is true even without taking into consideration last week’s report that 22 of Clinton’s e-mails contained “top secret” information —a revelation that likely opens the door to far worse consequences for Clinton, not the least of which is running afoul with Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982.

Furthermore, our public officials cannot be allowed to benefit from the willful manipulation of laws in a manner that enables them to build a wall behind which they can hide from the consequences of their actions. Hillary Clinton’s willful decision to squirrel all her e-mails away on a private server reflects a blatant disregard for the laws meant to protect classified information. Giving her the benefit of the doubt in accepting the “it wasn’t marked classified argument” allows her to benefit from her own willful disregard of the law and will only encourage future public officials to do the same, or even worse.

Over the coming months Attorney General Loretta Lynch will be under an extraordinary amount of pressure. She is in the awkward position of having to potentially have to indict her party’s likely nominee to be the next president of the United States; it is a decision that will almost assuredly lead to the eventual GOP nominee winning the White House in November. Lynch must put politics aside and show the American people that no person is above the law. We may never know for sure why Clinton really decided to use this private e-mail system, but ultimately it does not matter as it relates to Section 1924. What does matter, however, is that she knowingly removed and retained classified information at an unauthorized location in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1924 and she must be held accountable, like anyone else.

I can not take her seriously.....lies fall from her mouth like one fills a toilet. You will get nothing from her except more lies. She should be in jail....not running for president.

BINGO!

If it were any other mere mortal, they would have received 30 to life for this without a doubt.

outgrowth of radical Jihadism

GWB created ISIS.

If it were any other mere mortal, they would have received 30 to life for this without a doubt.

Trump is the greatest recruiter ISIS

Yeah. He wants to recruit a lot of them and then "waterboard" them. Because they deserve it.

Trump, terror maker in chief.

Before there was Trump on the US political horizon, the terrorists were "still" doing their thing. The big difference is that Trump confronts the issue. Obama dodges the issue. He says all crap but does little. He wants the american people to accept it as the new norm. He won't even call it, "radical islam." He's a coward.

Take a look at Libya after Gaddaffi, you know Mrs Clinton is an untrustworthy person.

For a billionaire who can have all the comforts and safety, yet Trump risking his life running for US Presidential election and confronting Islamist terrorism head-on, you got to give him credit. Trump is more than a mere talker, though might not agree with him in many issues.

Syria and Libya are Hillary's babies. Trust her? To what? Start WWIII all on her own?

"You can't make me believe embracing ISIS with open arms would end the atrocities."

Who's saying embrace ISIS with open arms? Who's trying to make you believe this?

You can't make me believe embracing ISIS with open arms would end the atrocities.

Ahh another false dichotomy set of choices...

Mrs. Bill Clinton couldn't/wouldn't take the 3 a.m. that resulted in the deaths of an American ambassador and three U.S. Marines at the hands of ISIS terrorists in Libya while on her watch as Secretary of State. Now, she is vowing to keep this country safe from the same group of butchers who killed people who had worked for her? Sorry, but that dog don't hunt. . . .

He won't even call it, "radical islam." He's a coward.

I happen to believe radical Islam is a problem, but I know calling it that would do nothing to stop terrorism. Do you think radical Muslims will suddenly stop what their doing by calling them out? Do you think that by not calling it that, Obama supports terrorism? Or do you just think whatever your conservative talking heads tell you to think?

While calling it "radical Islam" would do nothing to solve the problem, it has a very good chance of inciting animosity and violence toward all Muslims among simple-minded people, so I understand the President's reluctance to call it that. He's done some things to make the terrorism problem worse (namely drone strikes and continuing US interference in the ME in general), but seriously, who gives a crap what he calls it?

While I'm not a Hillary fan, it's amazing that so many extremists are still trying to claim she did something wrong at Benghazi even after 46 investigations have found absolutely Nothing. That's right, nothing with a capital N. Talk about not living in reality.

She and Bill have sordid pasts - book out about the Clintons War on Women - very sick man and she protects him for some insane reason. He's been accused of rape and other infidelities by 40 women. And we all know MONICA was true. They seem like they both need a nice jail cell. Not to be rewarded. And another thing - he didn't even want Cuban refugees in Arkansas when he was governor and tried to get them moved out - while claiming he supported minorities.

I can't imagine Trump knows much about foreign policy, which makes him perfect for GOP bubble dwellers. Just say some strong (unworkable) plans and the people will cheer because it sounds good.

Trump is amazing. In a recent Washington Post interview, he was asked about his comments regarding using tactical nuclear weapons on ISIS, and he clearly stated:

I don't want to start the process of nuclear. Remember the one thing that everybody has said, I'm a counterpuncher. Rubio hit me. Bush hit me…

The interviewers reminded him, "This is about ISIS. You would not use a tactical nuclear weapon against ISIS?" to which he clarified:

I'll tell you one thing, this is a very good-looking group of people here. Could I just go around so I know who the hell I'm talking to?

Fabulous. So fabulous it makes Benghazi and Monica Lewinsky somehow quite trivial. Who wouldn't want such a mind in control of America's nuclear arsenal?

There is no doubt that without Obama's premature withdrawal from Iraq, ISIS would not have gotten anything material going. Mrs. Clinton was a part of that decision at the time and promises that if elected, her time in the Oval Office will be his third term.

She also was a key supporter of the attack on Libya that displaced a steady government allied with the West and turned it into an Al Qaeda dominated country. She has shown the world what a disaster she is when given power. . . .

There is no doubt that without Obama's premature withdrawal from Iraq, ISIS would not have gotten anything material going.

America should never have been there in the first place. As such, there is no 'premature' withdrawal. There is only a late exit if anything. If America hadn't made that huge screw up in the first place, then ISIS wouldn't exist.

Blaming Obama for doing what he could to right a huge mistake just shows the absolute cluelessness of the Republicans. They deserve Trump, they really do.

@Lelia26 She and Bill have sordid pasts

Your boy Trump's attitude toward women and veterans is absolutely sordid. He got a military deferment because of his feet. (His daddy's doctor and friends on the draft board?) A real hero. NOT.

Donald Trump -- who dodged the military draft -- said that dating in the '80s was his own "personal Vietnam." The Republican presidential candidate told shock jock Howard Stern that he felt "lucky" not to have picked up an STD while sleeping around during the decade. Trump added that he felt like a "great and very brave soldier" when he appeared on the show in 1997, re-posted this week by Buzzfeed. "I've been so lucky in terms of that whole world," he said of sexually transmitted diseases. "It is a dangerous world out there," he said. "It's scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam era. ... It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier."

I want to see Trump being an independent ,just get rid of that Republican party and defeat Hillary, people choose his name instead of that notorious party.

Trump's comments on NATO after the Belgium attacks are shocking. Obviously it's just more shock jock screaming for his reality show to be lapped up by his hordes of simpleton followers that think isolationism is a good thing. And that's not surprising given the Bubble of Denial in which they dwell. Yet you have to wonder if he did get in how much of his crazy promises he'd actually try to enact.

It's just pretty offensive to sh!t on your allies when they've stood toe to toe with you after standing shoulder to shoulder when the US suffered similar atrocities.

Actually, it's the comportment of a true psychopath...

She showed her utter incompetence and maliciousness in Libya! The manner in which Ghadafi was murdered was famously celebrated by H Clinton-I am sure that a war monger as she is, would not make a honorable president.....

American peoples' deja vu is coming soon.

When Trump and Cruz declined to talk to CNBC moderator because each said they are engaged in very important discussion than foreign event Clinton took advantage to accept speaking and media explained Trump and Cruz: Spat about wives. Cruz says he is not responsively for ad about Trump's wife but Trump group released Porno pic of Cruz's wife. See pic of both wives. Porno or not, media do not omit to show visitors. Clinton took advantage and revenge against Trump.

Trump is now in trouble for saying a nuclear strike on ISIS would be the last resort.

Hillary, of course, would never use nukes on ISIS, even if ISIS obliterated Washington D.C. with a nuke ( assuming she would survive ).

@settabo:When Trump said? He only said wakeboarding and torturing. Not nuclear bombing. When and which media??

You are the only one mentioned

"Trump has accused Clinton of being responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands across the globe. Clinton, in turn, has accused him of inciting violence and likened his rise in the polls to “dark chapters” of history like the Holocaust." -article

Some have claimed Donald J. Trump, poor Billionaire and servant of the People, isn't a racist. Why then did Trump refuse to condemn, not once but three times on live television's CNN Sunday Morning, Holocaust Denier and KKK Grand Wizard David Duke?

Who is David Duke: "The candidate was David Duke, an ex-Klansman, neo-Nazi and former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives who ran for governor of Louisiana in 1991 and lost by a landslide to Democrat Edwin Edwards, thanks to a phenomenal black turnout."

Why does it matter?

Let's take a peek at: Walking In David Duke’s Shadow: Trump Trods A Well-Worn Path Of Bigotry available at, Colbert I. King - The Washington Post - Sunday, March 20, 2016

"A few of Duke’s 1991 themes echo today."

"Said Duke, “Our environment is being threatened by massive immigration.” Sound familiar?"

"Duke on his trade policy and what he would say to the Japanese: “If you no buy our rice, we no buy your cars.” Is this where Trump gets it?"

"Duke on values and religious freedom: “I believe that Christianity is the underpinning of this country. . . . And if we lose its underpinning, I think we’re going to lose the foundations of America.”

While the racist demands silence and uses fear to enforce his prejudice, the American isn't as stupid as Trump would have them be.

When Trump condemns Duke, Holocaust Denier, he can start on condemning his own misogyny and religious prejudice.

Trump has a long history of racism in his five year long 'birther' campaign and his fans know it, the international reader knows it and Donald J. Trump knows it and that is why Trump has nothing except his anger to qualify his belief in prejudice. Trump is angry and he expects American's are as stupid as he needs them to be to get elected.

In a speech Wednesday at Stanford University, Clinton called for “strong, smart, steady leadership,” arguing that recent comments from Republicans Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz show they are not up to the task of combatting Islamic militant

While HRC outlines a sober and well-received by our national security agencies outlining her response to terrorism....

Trump and Cruz insult each others wives.

@Black: Cruz had Trump's wife pictures in his ad as there are plenty of model Melanie's pic before she married to Trump. GOP anti Trump people told Cruz to stop but too late. Trump groups are showing Heidi's naked porno pictures and media report on Europe is disrupted.

While HRC outlines a sober and well-received by our national security agencies outlining her response to terrorism....

. . . . . her loyal supporters (in places like Detroit) don't give two-bits about "Black Lives Matter."

Stay classy HRC supporters. Stay classy.

Poll: GOP Women ..... more women dislike Trump

If Cruz keep mouth shut, he will win Nomination?

While HRC outlines a sober speech -- which is well-received by our national security agencies, y'know the people who keep us safe -- outlining her response to terrorism:

Cruz talks about patrolling and securing Muslim areas. And Trump blabbers on about water-boarding.

Just another day in the GOP primary.

Republicans: the party of torture and the police state.

“When Republican candidates like Ted Cruz call for treating American Muslims like criminals and for racially profiling predominantly Muslim neighborhoods, it’s wrong, it’s counterproductive, it’s dangerous,” Clinton said." - article

The racism of Cruz is no different from Trump's bigots. What more proof than a poster who mocks the stereotype of an Asian accent in one comment and posts correct English sentence structure in another?

Ted Cruz was rejected by the US Senate when he chose to shutdown Government with a schoolboy tactic of filibuster, costing millions in shuttering Government operations, including national security.

Here, the reader sees Cruz pursuing the same prejudice as Trump.

What's the difference?

Bigots for Trump or Prejudice for Cruz.

Obviously different sides of the same coin.

Racism rampant in the Republican Party that has refused to expel Trump and chastise Cruz.

Vote Bigot, Vote Republican.

I don't hear any talk of HRC's e-mails and going to jail but here on these posts. The only place HRC is going is 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Get used to it guys, "Madame President" ! ! !

"I don't hear any talk of HRC's e-mails and going to jail but here on these posts." - comments

The Republicans have spent ten of millions to pursue HRC's tenure as Secretary of State. HRC's credentials to serve the American People are countered by a racist and religious nutter, one of whom's credentials include selling bedding at Macy's until Macy's fired him and the other who's Daddlt thinks he's the Messiah born in Canada.

Bigots and Nuters, the GOP/Tea is well represented. What's their complaint? Education is the enemy.

About wives discussion topic since contents of photos appeared male moderators do not argue contents but American female moderators explain their observation in details.

The racism of Cruz is no different from Trump's bigots. What more proof than a poster who mocks the stereotype of an Asian accent in one comment and posts correct English sentence structure in another?

Interesting...so how is Cruz a racist? He hates Whites or he's a sellout an uncle Tom perhaps? Do you remember when Harry Reid made that comment about Obama being NOT a typical Black guy? Remember the Democrats famous hero, former congressman Robert Byrd a former Grand Wizard? Can you believe that, they actually had a once proud member of the KKK serving in the US congress and then there's this....

https://youtu.be/j0uCrA7ePno

So now that we know who the REAL racist is, will you openly condemn it here on JT?

Someone should advice Hillary don't say anything about Trump and Cruz. They are destroying GOP right now.

Trump will be revealing his two phases plan to oppose Protested Convention plan.
