Former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was asked in an official congressional inquiry from former House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) about whether she used a private email for government work as far back as 2012.

Loretta Lynch, Barack Obama’s nomination for Attorney General to replace the awful Eric Holder at long last, has met a speed bump in her confirmation battle in the Senate. Democrats are blocking a human trafficking bill due to an amendment which further bans federal funding for abortions. Until this bill goes through Congress, Lynch’s confirmation will have to wait. This doesn’t sit too well with professional agitator Al Sharpton, whose National Action Network has staged a hunger strike to fast-track the confirmation progress. However, I’m not sure Sharpton or his followers have actually looked at Lynch’s positions because they might be more than a little surprised about her history. Here are some areas where Sharpton and Lynch may have minor disagreements. Death Penalty In her confirmation hearing, Lynch was asked by Senator Lindsey Graham (R – South Carolina) whether she believes in the death penalty. Lynch responded “I believe that the death penalty is an effective penalty” and said she has pursued it in the past. This should be concerning based on the fact that, as one study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences concluded 1 in 25 people sentenced to death are innocent. Even if this number is exaggerated, just one innocent person sentenced to death is a travesty but Lynch does not seem to concern herself with these ramifications. More to the point, this stance is in conflict with Al Sharpton’s own stance on the issue. In a piece he wrote for the Huffington Post last year entitled “The Death Penalty Must Go,” Sharpton says “my humanity will not allow me to watch another person die…” and “the process itself is cruel and in one of the most modern countries on the planet, there is simply no place for it.” This is a strong indictment of capital punishment but Sharpton’s support for Lynch suggests he does not extend the moral imperative to stop capital punishment to the person actually in a position to do something about it. Civil Asset Forfeiture Al Sharpton has been lauded by President Obama as “the voice of the voiceless and a champion for the downtrodden,” which he prominently displays on his website. One would think, then, that Sharpton would support any and all ways to aid poor communities and allow minority groups a chance to get ahead. One of the major systems holding these communities back is civil asset forfeiture, or law enforcement’s ability to take property and cash from people who are only suspected, not charged, with a crime. Voices from the Governor of New Mexico (a Republican), to the ACLU have said this program hurts poor and minority communities the most. Loretta Lynch, as United State Attorney, raked in more than $113 million from asset forfeiture between 2011 and 2013. It’s interesting that a man like Sharpton who purports to be the champion of the poor will stage a hunger strike in support of a public official who has made a career preying on poor and minority communities. Clearly Sharpton has no clue who he is supporting for Attorney General. Her being Pro-drones and anti-marijuana legalization should similarly give him pause, which they clearly don’t. Based on these positions I hope Sharpton has to re-think his hunger strike because the confirmation can get held up forever as far as I’m concerned.

Former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton is “hiding” from the American people with a deliberately underwhelming and stage crafted rollout, Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman Reince Priebus told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Tuesday morning.

The administration is deporting fewer criminal aliens than it did last year, according to new statistics released Tuesday that undercut President Obama’s justification for his new amnesty, which he said was intended to free agents to focus on the most dangerous of criminals by focusing on “felons not families.”

Here's what we must know about this epic road trip taking place in a black vehicle Clinton has deemed her "Scooby Doo van."

Hillary is 100 percent name identification. But she’s unapproachable. She’s insincere. She's elitist. And most of all, everybody knows it.

Nevertheless, white men somehow still manage to dominate politics and the economy.

Loretta Lynch is still waiting to be confirmed as attorney general, and her allies are hoping a hunger strike will do the trick. The advocacy group founded by the Rev. Al Sharpton, along with female civil-rights leaders, are launching the hunger strike – where groups of fasters will alternate days abstaining from food until Lynch is confirmed...

“"I fully support President Obama's plan to make community college free," Clinton says #highered”

As though they were teenage girls chasing after the Beatles, journalists on Tuesday excitedly chased after Hillary Clinton and her "Scooby van." MSNBC kept vigil, waiting for a 2016 campaign event. Reporter Alex Seitz-Wald gushed, "We can see the motorcade approaching right now... We see the Scooby van, the famous Scooby van is coming down the road right now towards our set up now!" 

Hillary Rodham Clinton and her support groups are opening a massive fundraising effort to collect an historically-high $2.5 billion to win the White House, according to reports. That amounts to $37.92 per vote in the general election for the Democrat, more than ever spent in a national campaign. The math is based on the votes received by President Obama in his reelection, 65,915,796. America Rising graphic. Obama spent $1.1 billion, then a record, so Clinton's will be more than double. The New York Times reported the total cost at $2.5 billion, prompting the anti-Clinton group America Rising to call the effort, Clinton Inc.: A $2.5B Endeavor.

Flashback: Jeb Bush Awarded Hillary Clinton 'Liberty Medal' on the Eve of 1st Anniversary of Benghazi Attack

by Kurt Nimmo, INFOWARS Republican Markeece Young says the Hillary Clinton campaign paid Twitter to squelch his hashtag, #WhyImNotVotingforHillary.  Although it is less than certain if this is the case, one thing is for sure — the Clinton campaign shelled out a big chunk of change to get her hashtag to trend on the uber popular microblogging social media site.  CNN anchor Brian Stetler highlighted the inability of the Clinton hashtag to trend higher than Young’s.  “And it got worse. 2 hours later the most  popular hashtags on Twitter were #WhyImNotVotingForHillary  — which mocked her campaign ad — and #GameofThrones, with #Hillary2016 an embarrassing 3rd,” writes Gina Cassini  for Top Right News.  Twitter claims it does not censor tweets. “There’s no system expressly designed to censor communication between individuals,” a former Twitter engineer told The Verge in November.  Twitter, however, has blocked tweets it considers harassment, specially along the lines of gender and race, but has yet to block or remove tweets criticizing political candidates in the United States.  Twitter offers what it calls “promoted trends,” that is to say jacking up hashtag trending status to partners who have the money.  “Promoted Trends are a perfect way to kickstart a conversation, launch new products, run major campaigns or target key dates to drive mass awareness,” the Twitter business website explains.  Hillary Clinton, of course, is not a brand of caffè latte. Artificial trending skews the political debate and makes it appear she is more popular than she actually is.  If a critic’s hashtag was indeed removed, this represents a dangerous development in social media, which now plays an instrumental role in political campaigns.
