Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, rebuked Fox News for its recent aggressive coverage of the former Democratic nominee, especially because he says she won’t run for office again.”Fox is resorting to dredging up the ghost of Hillary Clinton, who is never running for office again,” Fallon told CNNMoney on Thursday.Clinton has been a dominant focus of Fox News coverage this week.Read more >>>>
If you have any argument at all with this definitive statement, stop calling yourself a Hillary Clinton … whatever you call yourself. A primary reason Hillary’s supporters are loyal to her is because she is a woman of her word. When she says she is going to do something, she does it. When she says she will not, she won’t. If you have any argument with her own statement that she will not run, you are calling her a liar. You are not a faithful, loyal Hillary Clinton supporter. You are siding with those who call her deceptive, untrustworthy, unreliable.
The defense rests!
This goes out with hearts and flowers to the supposed Hillary supporters calling me vile names on Facebook for telling the truth that they are unwilling to accept.
First and foremost, there is the Wisconsin recount scheduled to begin soon. Despite a clear statement from Marc Elias, many seem to misunderstand the Clinton campaign’s position.
We are getting attacked for participating in a recount that we didn't ask for by the man who won election but thinks there was massive fraud
Clearly, Hillary and her campaign have not questioned the election result and are observing the recount process as they as well as Trump’s camp should – especially since he appears to have a problem with the results.
“In addition to winning the electoral college in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.” — President-elect Donald Trump, in a tweet, Nov. 27
Angered by demands for a recount in the three states that gave him an electoral college victory, President-elect Donald Trump made a bold but unsubstantiated assertion in a tweet — that “millions of people” voted illegally in the presidential election. He suggested they voted for his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, who now leads in the popular vote by 2.2 million votes, and thus he actually also won the popular vote.
Winning the electoral college is all that counts in the presidential race. But losing the popular vote by such a substantial margin apparently gnaws at Trump. Is there any basis for his claim?
Hillary Clinton’s kept an understandably low profile since losing the election to Donald Trump. Her campaign team will join in recount efforts in every state where a petition is successfully filed by Jill Stein. However, Clinton will likely distance herself from these efforts and maintain her current routine of shying away from the limelight unless someone happens to catch her in dog-walking mode. This provides a nice transition for Clinton’s first post-election follow on Twitter, and those honors go to none other than Snoop Dogg. Writer Stefan Becket nabbed some screenshot evidence.
Wishing everyone a lovely and safe holiday weekend. It promises to be a blustery one on the east coast, so batten down the hatches and be sure you have necessary supplies.
One thing Americans do over summer holiday weekends is party. We barbeque or bring pot luck to the picnic.
This guy, who visited Joy Reid last night when she was filling in for Chris Hayes at All In seems not to understand, nor does Trump whom he was representing, that assimilation is a two-way street.
Immigrants quickly adopt American holidays, and Americans tend to be inclusive about immigrant contributions. Especially when it comes to food, Americans welcome a broad array of traditions.
So when Marco Gutierrez, founder of the group Latinos for Trump, issued what he thought was a dire warning, Americans were all a-Twitter with the hashtag #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner. They were most creative!
Democrats hopped on the taco truck with gusto! Forthwith, there was a taco truck parked outside Trump’s Colorado headquarters serving lunch and registering voters.
Whatever apocalyptic visions Gutierrez sought to communicate, Americans on Twitter embraced the concept and even a few tweets from the UK and the Netherlands bespoke a desire for a candidate who would bring taco trucks to London and Amsterdam, Brexit notwithstanding.
The most popular comment was, “Dude, you said that like it was a bad thing!” So far, no one has figured out what was supposed to be so awful. Seems impossible to find anyone who isn’t down with #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner.
One thing is for certain. There is broad agreement in the Democratic ranks that November 8, 2016 will be #TacoTuesday!
On a serious note, if you are facing the storm this weekend, we pray you stay safe. I can say this. When Superstorm Sandy blew my house to pieces, the contractor who had scaffolding up within days was Mexican. I did not ask to see his documents before he started closing up my poor, damaged home. I didn’t care. My insurance company didn’t care, and my town officials didn’t care either. I hope no one has that kind of weekend.
Wishing everyone a Happy Labor Day weekend. Enjoy the hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, falafels, Korean BBQ, sushi, kebabs, French fries, General Tso’s, and tacos. Who’s bringing the guacamole? The sangria is on me! Pour yourself a nice frosty margarita or cerveza and join the fun here >>>>
Big news today: Remember a few months ago when the inspector general for the intelligence community claimed two of Hillary Clinton’s emails were “top secret”? Well, a new review from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence says that determination was flat-out wrong, and it’s critical that we make sure people know it.
POLITICO: Key Clinton emails did not contain highly classified secrets, inquiry finds
The U.S. intelligence community has retreated from claims that two emails in Hillary Clinton’s private account contained top secret information, a source familiar with the situation told POLITICO.
The determination came from Director of National Intelligence James Clapper’s office and concluded that the two emails did not include highly classified intelligence secrets. Concerns about the emails’ classification helped trigger an on-going FBI inquiry into Clinton’s private email set-up.
…
“The initial determination was based on a flawed process,” the source said.
“There was an intelligence product people thought [one of the emails] was based on, but that actually postdated the email in question.”
A top expert in classification procedures called the development “an astonishing turn of events.”
None of Hillary’s opponents are going to be rushing to correct the record about this, which is why it’s so important for members of The Briefing like you to get the word out:
Thanks so much. Happy Friday!

Brian Fallon
National Press Secretary
Hillary for America
During her nearly two-year public speaking tour, Hillary Clinton frequently criticized policy-making in Washington as operating in an “evidence-free zone.” Her point was that data-driven and evidence-driven policy is effective while ideology-driven policy can be questionable, faulty, and often ineffective.
The following day, Brian Fallon, Hillary For America’s national press secretary, issued a memo to friends and allies in which he quoted Think Progress.
Schweizer explains he cannot prove the allegations, leaving that up to investigative journalists and possibly law enforcement.
Schweizer, by his own admission, operates in an evidence-free zone. yet the New York Timesover the past two days has forged ahead in its attack on the Clinton Foundation and the unfounded allegations that donations somehow figured into decisions Hillary Clinton made as Secretary of State.
So clearly the New York Times is not at peace with the Clinton Foundation which, as Fallon points out, “is a world-class philanthropy that has helped millions of people around the world tackle issues from HIV/AIDS to children’s health to climate change.” Neither is the publication at peace with Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign as it is very clear that the foundation alone is not the sole target of these attacks.
It is ironic, indeed mind-boggling that in light of all of the above, the Times teams up with the Daily Beast in sponsoring the Women in the World Summit with which Hillary Clinton has long been associated and at which she regularly appears and speaks.
Relying largely on research from the conservative author of Clinton Cash, today’s New York Times alleges that donations to the Clinton Foundation coincided with the U.S. government’s 2010 approval of the sale of a company known as Uranium One to the Russian government. Without presenting any direct evidence in support of the claim, the Times story — like the book on which it is based — wrongly suggests that Hillary Clinton’s State Department pushed for the sale’s approval to reward donors who had a financial interest in the deal. Ironically, buried within the story is original reporting that debunks the allegation that then-Secretary Clinton played any role in the review of the sale.

@U.S. Senate: Time to ratify LOST!
"... ratify the Law of the Sea Convention, which has provided the international framework for exploring these new opportunities in the Arctic. We abide by the international law that undergirds the convention, but we think the United States should be a member, because the convention sets down the rules of the road that protect freedom of navigation, provide maritime security, serve the interests of every nation that relies on sea lanes for commerce and trade, and also sets the framework for exploration for the natural resources that may be present in the Arctic." -HRC, 06-03-12, Tromso Norway
