The FBI's Labor Day weekend document dump regarding its investigation of Hillary Clinton gives those who thought the result was predetermined much to complain about. The FBI's notes confirm that her former chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, was among the several lawyers representing Clinton in her FBI interview. Mills was hip-deep in the events at the heart of the FBI's criminal investigation and was herself a material witness who had previously sat for her own interview. Yet not only was she allowed by the Department of Justice to participate as counsel in Clinton's interview, her communications with Clinton and other material witnesses also were actively protected by the Department of Justice throughout the criminal and civil investigations.
Typically, the DOJ would look askance where a material witness sought to act as a lawyer for the subject of a federal criminal investigation. In Mills's case, Justice lawyers went out of their way to accommodate this highly unusual dual-hat role. For those who wonder whether Clinton's FBI interview was all for show, Mills's participation as a lawyer should be Exhibit A.

As the Department of Homeland Security contemplates taking possibly unconstitutional power over the U.S. election system due to the threat of hackers, citizens should consider the fact that the agency itself was the victim of a major cyber intrusion that stole sensitive personal information of thousands of its employees, contends a former DHS officer.

The incomplete records of the Hillary Clinton email investigation released by the FBI raise questions about the conduct not only of Clinton but of her top aides and the staffers working under their direction. Perhaps the most serious is whether the Clinton team destroyed evidence which they were under legal order to save and produce to congressional investigators. Out of a massive investigation, the FBI has released just two documents: a heavily-redacted version of its summary report and a writeup — the so-called 302 — from agents' July 2 interview with Clinton. The rest, including reports from interviews with other players, remains secret, although the FBI has shared it with Congress, with redactions and under tight viewing restrictions.

The intellectual dishonesty going on in today’s political and academic discourse is one of the greatest threats facing our society. People have become far too stubborn and arrogant. They are not willing to have a reasonable discussion and are not open to outside ideas. Because of this people put themselves into bubbles of their own making; they create artificial safe-spaces and echo-chambers where they do not have to deal with the self-reflection and disappointment that comes with being questioned and being wrong.
These bubbles are akin to a self-imposed imprisonment—a place where we lock our minds into cages and through away the key. This habit is exacerbated by the development of the Internet into its modern manifestation–a dopamine fueled mock-colosseum–where we put up the facade of a true fight between competing ideas, when in reality it is just our ideas competing against the attenuated strawmen of our opponents for the goal of instant gratification. This cowardly affair is hazardous to the health of public discourse.
The danger of this cushioned internet does not come as a direct result of the technology but rather a self-imposed side-effect. This danger arises from the complacency developed by the padded rooms that are the majority of forums, messageboards, and social media sites. We cannot have true evolution of ideas into that darwinian ideal of an argument perfectly suited for its environment if we do not open the gates and allow dangerous and alien ideas to compete for the same resources (attention and retention) as our own.
This mind-caging has atrophied our discourse and lessened the ability of our ideas to defend themselves. When an animal is free of predatory threats or has little competition for resources it becomes like the Dodobird–weak, slow, dumb, and unknowingly suicidal. The same applies to ideas. An idea if left in a bubble will become weak, slow, dumb, and unknowingly willing to let a hostile ideology wipe it out.
It is imperative that we, as members of society, recognize when we have constructed a bubble around ourselves and do whatever we can to burst these bubbles with the sharp stick of new ideas. If we fail to do this, the ideas that are the basis of modern western civilization will be conquered, destroyed, and forgotten to the sands of time; they will be violently overwhelmed by a hostile ideology antithetical to our own.

Reuters was reportedly the only news service to be providing video coverage
of Donald Trump’s visit to a Detroit church on Saturday, and a mystery
voice could be overheard ordering someone to “shut down” the feed before
the event had concluded.
Bishop Wayne T. Jackson was presenting Trump with a prayer shawl and two
Bibles when a hushed voice off camera could be heard saying, “I’m shooting
this, I don’t care what…”
Moments later, the same voice said “Shut this down?”
“Shut it, yeah,” another voice said.
“Yes, Michael. Do it.”
“Blackout.”
Just then the camera begins to shake as if it’s being moved and the feed
goes black.

ESPN Magazine’s Howard Bryant: insightful on sports, but prone to suffocating liberal piety when he starts talking politics. As a special treat for fans, ESPN posted online Bryant’s “The Truth” column for the upcoming September 19 NFL Preview II Issue: “Response to protest shows the power of the sports machine.” That would be the protest of infamous San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, whom Bryant predictably hailed as a hero for failing to stand for the National Anthem at a preseason game last week, citing United States “oppression” while collecting a $19 million annual salary in that same oppressive country. Bryant portrayed the quarterback, whom many criticize as hypocritical and ungrateful as well as anti-police (his workout socks featured pigs in cop hats), as “awakening” into brave dissent despite the pile-on of intimidation by the "predominantly white media."
