Judicial Watch Sues Justice Department for Sally Yates’ Emails While She Served as Trump Acting Attorney General

I "love" Judicial Watch.  I only wish they had a branch office in Hawaii. They'd be really busy here. Too bad Hawaii is such small potatoes that they can't even be bothered with investigating the rampant corruption. 

Video: Will the new FBI Director put out charges against Hillary Clinton?

Every once in a while one of these "elites" gets at least something vaguely resembling their "just desserts". I'm guessing the Clintons are above the echelon that is touchable, but I certainly hope some people in the Trump/Sessions administration/DOJ have the fortitude and are given the resources to go after them.

Here's an example from today of justice greatly delayed, but at least something of at least slight consequence happened (notice the judge refused to accept the plea deal negotiated by the prosecuting attorney as "too lenient"!).

Former LA County sheriff sentenced to 3 years in federal prison

http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/12/us/former-los-angeles-county-sheriff-baca-sentence/index.html

Excerpts:

Former Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca was sentenced Friday to three years in prison for obstructing a federal investigation into corruption and civil rights violations at the jail that Baca supervised.

Baca was accused of lying to federal prosecutors and the FBI about efforts by deputies under his control to hide a jail inmate who was cooperating with the federal corruption probe.

US District Court Judge Percy Anderson said he would have sentenced him to a longer sentence except for Baca's medical condition and long public service, the statement said.

"Blind obedience to a corrupt culture has serious consequences," Anderson said, according to the US attorney's statement.

The US attorney's office said Baca was the 10th member of the sheriff's department convicted in the obstruction scheme. Former Undersheriff Paul Tanaka was sentenced to five years in federal prison.

The US attorney's statement said 11 other ex-deputies have been convicted on federal charges, mostly related to beatings of inmates and coverups.

"Rather than fulfill his sworn duty to uphold the law and protect the public, Lee Baca made a decision to protect what he viewed as his empire, and then he took actions in an effort to simply protect himself," Acting US Attorney Sandra R. Brown said. [Substitute "Hillary Clinton" for "Lee Baca" and it' remains a 100% correct statement.]

I remember Lee Baca when he was elected. He ran as a Republican but was really a Democrat at heart. Not that it mattered a whole lot because he couldn't make the laws. But he would support Democrat policies and if he supported them it made new laws easier to get support for. By the time he was elected I had already moved to Orange County so a lot of what happened in LA County didn't affect me any more. I am surprised at hearing this (Because I had not heard about it up until now) but not really surprised this happened.

And not like it's a surprise (as with many of Bloomberg's "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" who are now incarcerated) but sheriff Baca was a serious anti-Second Amendment rights advocate. He gave out only a few CCW licenses (for all of L A County) to friends, cronies, and campaign contributors.... as for "ordinary citizens", he recommended civilian disarmament. 

I know Judicial Watch is still trying to get more of the Cliinton documents re servers, et al.  I sure hope they can find the silver bullet or wooden stake or whatever is required to make this go away permanently... 
Hillary Clinton launches Onward Together PAC

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/05/15/hillary-clinton-launches-onward-together-pac.html

Hillary Clinton officially jumped back into politics Monday by launching her new PAC, Onward Together.

The 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and former secretary of state announced the news on Twitter and in a blast email to supporters pushing people to sign up.

“Resist, insist, persist, enlist,” says a message on the organization's homepage.

“Onward Together is dedicated to advancing the vision that earned nearly 66 million votes in the last election,” the PAC’s mission statement says. “By encouraging people to organize, get involved, and run for office, Onward Together will advance progressive values and work to build a brighter future for generations to come.”
