Would be interesting to know if the FBI considers giving the names of big donors to progressive attack groups to be mismanagement, poor judgment or institutional inertia considering that is an actual felony.Seems like a pretty straightforward statement to my eyes.
"Our investigation uncovered substantial evidence of mismanagement, poor judgment and institutional inertia, leading to the belief by many tax-exempt applicants that the IRS targeted them based on their political viewpoints, Kadzik wrote. But poor judgment is not a crime. We found no evidence that any IRS official acted based on political, discriminatory, corrupt or other inappropriate motives that would support a criminal prosecution. We also found no evidence that any official involved in the handling of tax-exempt applications or IRS leadership attempted to obstruct justice. Based on the evidence developed in this investigation and the recommendation of experienced career prosecutors and supervising attorneys at the Department, we are closing our investigation and will not seek any criminal charges.

I have an extremely low opinion of the Hildabeast but I don't think Secretaries of State set security levels at individual diplomatic missions, even those in the countries of most interest at the time. That seems to me to be a fairly specialized thing more suitable for lifers. I realize I could be wrong here, but so far I've seen nothing to show me I am and given that we have a majority in Congress who'd really like to show me I am wrong, I suspect it would have come out by now.As long as Hillary Clinton, walks the earth, there will be Benghazi. She failed the people at that embassy, and contributed to their deaths. When she realized she failed them, she conceived a lie, to cover it up.
She is everything that is the worst of a person.

Amazing that all those mistakes, misjudgements, and institutional inertia always work for the Democrats' benefit, eh?Please. That bit of slimy innuendo has been debunked many times. A person at the IRS mistakenly released information prematurely while the applications in question were being processed, information that was correctly released anyway once the application was approved.
The sensitive information was mistakenly sent to the IRS in the first place who just sent out what they received from the groups. The govt settled with NOM for $50K which is cheaper than lawyers.
You already know this.

It might be amazing were it true. As a wing-nut conspiracy theory, however, it's pretty unremarkable. Better luck next "scandal."Amazing that all those mistakes, misjudgements, and institutional inertia always work for the Democrats' benefit, eh?

The Dems got many, many new organizations to promote their views on society using pre-tax money. A handful of their proposed organizations got turned down, but most were quickly approved. The Republicans were denied the same; the majority of clearly right-leaning groups saw their applications vanish in limbo, with no way to revise and resubmit because their applications were given no feedback or hearing. The right also saw its big money donors identified to left wing attack groups while the left's equivalent enjoyed anonymity. Those are two powerful advantages in raising money for political policy advertising.And how was that mistake a benefit to dems? While you are at it why don't you tell us how the dems benefited from the IRS targeting? Hell, let's broaden it and give me some recent examples of institutional inertia that benefited the dems?
That came from an anti-war career state department employee, Richard Armitage, who was working against the administration. Honestly I have never understood the idea that a government employee should be free to actively and dishonestly subvert Presidential policy while remaining anonymous. Should someone working to elect Romney be allowed to write articles claiming that Biden sent him to Syria and he determined that Assad was innocent of using WMDs without revealing that in fact his own wife sent him and Biden knew nothing about it? Would you accept this behavior directed against any of Obama's policies?I guess outing Valerie Plame was one of those same type of mistakes that also worked well for the Dems.
Oh shit--that came direct from the admin. "misjudjements or inertia" or not, there wasn't even a proxy group to hide under there....
talk about sloppy
You omitted "Not meant to be be a factual statement." Those tales are long on RNC talking points and way short on facts. Again.The Dems got many, many new organizations to promote their views on society using pre-tax money. A handful of their proposed organizations got turned down, but most were quickly approved. The Republicans were denied the same; the majority of clearly right-leaning groups saw their applications vanish in limbo, with no way to revise and resubmit because their applications were given no feedback or hearing.

"Truly, Alexander, the younger, watched her walk in to Congress and said: 'she looks like Lisa Kudrow you know, on Friends....'," she added.
Abedin then passed along the message to Clinton, writing, "This is a nice compliment[.] Lisa is an attractive actress!"
Clinton's response is fully redacted.
Abedin's response to that email: "[Redacted] certainly thinks you are cameron diaz!!"
