DNC Convention Drama Update: FBI Director Comey Has Another Headache

Remember, I am only the messenger.

Poor baby.
FBI Director James Comey, "Ugh, Not again".
Contrary to public ignorance, this entire presidential race is about child welfare, or rather the final leg of implementing the privatization scheme to access the Social Security Trust Fund.

James Comey, FBI director is more than likely not a happy camper right now.

Since the public has taken an interest into the DNC convention, here are the latest updates:




The FBI is now investigating the so-called "Russian hacking" of the DNC.

If the Russians can hack the DNC, logic would present itself that it hacked into other, "unsecured, non-encrypted" servers or even the RNC?

(FYI:  Rumor in the cyberverse has it, the hack was in-house.)

And now, the plot thickens.  Marcia Fudge was. according to her own words, hand picked by the Clinton campaign weeks ago.



(FYI, rumor in the cyberverse has it Donna Brazile is Chelsea Clinton's godmother.)

  Donna Brazile Out, Marcia Fudge In. Third DNC Chair In 8 Hours
You can’t make this stuff up. The Democratic National Convention has now announced its 3rd chairperson in the last 8 hours. According to Wikileaks.org and confirmed by CNN:

Earlier today, Debbie Wasserman Shultz was outed as the DNC Chairwoman on the eve of the convention after a weekend that saw her entire office and staff exposed in an embarrassing email dump of the Democratic National Committee, exposing a concerted effort to fraudulently hand the nomination to Hillary Clinton by conspiring to derail any hopes of Bernie Sanders securing the nomination. This lead to Debbie Wasserman Shultz immediately being hired as a chair of the Clinton Campaign.

Shortly after the Wasserman Shultz resignation, CNN released Donna Brazile from her CNN contract so she could fulfill the duties as the DNC Chairperson on an interim basis for the convention in Philadelphia.She was expected to be interim Chairperson until after the elections in November.

This lasted about 30 minutes, then all hell broke loose as numerous websites, this one included, published scathing articles showing that Brazile was as deeply involved in the fraudulent activities as Wasserman Shultz was. You can read the Brazile emails here. She called Bernie Sanders “stupid” and threatened to “cuss out his staff”.

Well, Bernie apparently still has some power left and apparently now has used it to force Brazile out and the Democrats have now named a 3rd chairperson.
Marcia Fudge has now been named as the new interim chair.

Stay tuned...

REPS. CONYERS, FUDGE, CLAY LAUD DOJ INVESTIGATION INTO THE FERGUSON POLICE DEPT.


WASHINGTON – Today, Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee John Conyers Jr. (MI-13), Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11) and Congressman Wm. Lacy Clay (MO-01) released the following joint statement after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced commencement of a separate, new civil rights “pattern and practice” investigation into the Ferguson, Missouri Police Department for possible discriminatory misconduct:

“The Justice Department’s decision to initiate a pattern and practice investigation of the Ferguson Missouri Police Department that we previously requested sends a signal that review and relief for substantive complaints about the quality of policing in the community is on the way.  The Department’s additional decision to engage the St. Louis County Police Department in the COPS technical assistance program is further evidence of the Attorney General’s commitment to remedy the root causes of the unrest triggered by the tragic shooting of Michael Brown. 

Experience has shown that these federal programs have the ability to transform the operations of state and local police departments, opening vital lines of communication and improving public safety.  While the Department cannot be everywhere at once, we hope that the cooperation exhibited by local leaders in St. Louis County will encourage other law enforcement agencies to avail themselves of these and other similar federal programs to address their own policing issues and stopping tragedies like the Michael Brown shooting before they occur.”

On August 11, 2014, Representatives Conyers, Fudge and Clay issued a letter to the DOJ that requested a full investigation into the shooting of Michael Brown and to consider opening a “pattern and practice” investigation into the Ferguson police department’s law enforcement tactics.

CBC Chair Marcia Fudge’s Statement on Detroit Filing Bankruptcy



WASHINGTON, DC (Link) - Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Chair Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11) released the following statement:

“The CBC stands with the citizens, workers, and retirees of the City of Detroit as the city faces an unprecedented fiscal situation and a possible chapter 9 bankruptcy.” 

“The problems in Detroit have not been caused by its residents, municipal workers and retirees. The current crisis Detroit faces is due to much larger economic forces, including the deindustrialization of our cities, and specifically, the decline of the Detroit-based auto industry; a deliberate policy of the state of Michigan to suburbanize the Detroit metro area; a 50% reduction in longstanding state-shared revenues to its cities and towns since 2002; and pervasive poverty. Detroit’s per capita income is 60% less than the per capita income of the state as a whole.

“As members of Congress representing districts throughout the country, we find it alarming that a major city like Detroit is even filing for bankruptcy. At a minimum this should be a reason to reevaluate current economic policy and to end the fiscal austerity that has made matters worse for Detroit and that harms all Americans, particularly those in our inner cities. Random budget cuts weaken our cities and kill jobs. We should put an end to austerity policies now, hit the reset button and begin reinvesting in America by fixing our crumbling infrastructure, and by funding education, public safety and other vital local services. 

“We also think it is time to begin developing a real urban economic policy, one that creates jobs and helps foster an economy that works for all the citizens of this nation, not just the wealthy few. The difficulties facing Detroit and other American cities are symptoms of a larger problem. Too many inner city residents lack jobs and economic opportunities. 

“Some want to unfairly make city workers and their pensions the scapegoats, but they are not the problem. Since 2012, the pensions of non-uniformed workers in Detroit have been reduced by 40% and the average pension is now just $19,000 per year. The city’s employees have also taken a 10 percent pay cut during the last fiscal year. These public workers have made real sacrifices, and now is the time for others to do their part. Bankruptcy should not become the excuse to break contracts, cut pensions and vilify individuals who make our cities safe and livable.

“The CBC strongly condemns the divisive political posturing exhibited by some Members of Congress who have offered proposals aimed at blocking any type of federal assistance for Detroit.  These same members have no qualms with requesting federal assistance when fertilizer plant explosions, hurricanes, record snowfall, or drought have negatively affected their communities.  And yet, they give a cold shoulder to one of America’s great cities in its moment of greatest need.

“The CBC is pleased that President Obama and Gene Sperling, Director of the National Economic Council, have stepped forward to offer help with regard to  federal grants and other assistance to Detroit.  We stand ready to work with the Obama Administration, Rep. John Conyers, Jr. (MI-13), and our colleagues in Congress to devise an immediate infusion of federal assistance for Detroit that creates new economic opportunities, mitigates the effects of fiscal austerity, maintains critical city services, prevents the privatization of public assets, and preserves the livelihood and retirement security of the city’s residents.”
