We know that Hillary's private e mail server was hacked,

Quote:
In a summary of its investigation into Clinton’s use of private email released Friday, the FBI concluded that a username and password for an email account on the server — it’s not clear whose email beyond that it belonged to a woman working as an aide to former President Bill Clinton — was compromised by an unknown entity...The FBI account presents no evidence that Hillary Clinton’s emails were affected, or that the aide to Bill Clinton had access to classified information.

McConnell announces probe of suspected Russian election interference

Quote:
Don't be. The first thing to understand about McConnell is that he is very sly and well-versed in the operational gears of the Senate and House (as is Reid). This isn't a move to transparency or honesty. It's a move to restrict investigations and cover up any data that might damage his partisan desires. You'll want to read this:
GOP leaders shield Trump from expanded Russia probe
Despite calls for expanded investigations, Republicans are content with their existing oversight of alleged Russian misdeeds.

Congressional Republicans spent years investigating Hillary Clinton’s emails and launched a special committee to get to the bottom of the Benghazi attacks.

But when it comes to alleged Russian interference in the presidential election, the GOP appears to be taking a more restrained approach.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) are rejecting growing calls for a wide-ranging special congressional panel to investigate the issue, instead pointing to the narrower oversight work already being performed by the House and Senate intelligence committees.

This approach offers no guarantee that final investigative reports will ever be released to the public — and potentially shields President-elect Donald Trump from a deeper congressional investigation looking into Russia’s motives.

On Monday, McConnell told reporters that the Senate Intelligence Committee “is more than capable of conducting a complete review of this matter.” It quickly became clear the Kentucky Republican was not necessarily ordering any kind of formal review aimed at producing a final report — like the one that resulted in the committee’s 2014 investigation of the Benghazi attacks — but was simply calling on the committee to continue its ongoing probe on the issue.

These committees are both under the control of Republicans.

@georgeob1,
Limbaugh was on the horn DAY 1 after election day in 2008, gathering the Right-wing nut troops to make the Obama presidency a hell for him.

I was attending to Limbaugh quite closely at the time. He has always acted as a propagandist and disinformation specialist in aid of GOP electoral victories. That is his game (aside from making 50 or 70 million per year for himself through broadcast fees and side cons like gold). "Echo Chamber" by Kathleen Hall Jamieson and Joseph Cappella is very good study on him (and his relationship/coordination with Fox, etc) and on his effectiveness.

I can't recall everything Limbaugh was up to in 2008 but one element we can all recall is his misrepresentation of an Obama line in a speech, "We're the ones we've been waiting for". From that line, Limbaugh began pushing the "Obama thinks He's the One" meme (still around today).

When Obama was elected, he famously said "I hope he fails". As if that wasn't a known known. But my recollection is that he began relatively slowly in his predictable pattern of derogation and insinuation.

House Benghazi committee files final report and shuts down

WASHINGTON — The special congressional investigation into the 2012 terrorist attacks in Benghazi is officially over now that the panel filed its final report the day before the House adjourned for the year.

The Select Committee on Benghazi initially released its findings in June but remained in place for months afterward trying to declassify supporting documents like emails and interview transcripts for public release.

The final report, not including dissenting views from committee Democrats, clocks in at more than 322,000 words. It was added to the official House record without fanfare on Dec. 7 by Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., the panel’s chairman.

The panel, which spent more than $7.8 million over two and a half years, disbanded at the end of the 114th Congress, before a new Congress begins in January.

...


Four Americans died in the attack on the U.S. embassy in Libya. Here's how the length of the investigation compares with other Congressional investigations:

Trump picks ExxonMobil CEO Tillerson as choice for secretary of state

As I and many others have noted, nothing says "populist" like that appointment. Particularly given all the other billionaires around and in this administration. It may not get through because of how blatant it is as an admission of big money taking over citizen governance.

But it, along with those other similar appointments, might make it and with little awareness of protest from the suckers who thought this con man would have even the slightest interest in forwarding the common good or even giving a damn about the nation's citizens. The reason is found here:
Quote:
A big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."

@old europe,
What is that irellevant tidbit of information intended to suggest? What is the real significance of the number of days that pass before a legislative committe concludes its work?

I believe the obvious answer lies in the complexity of the events themselves and the political contentiousness of the matter itself. If that is your point then you have offered this discussion very little indeed.

How is the Brexit debate going over there?
