Mr Clinton sat down in 1999 with Alan Greenspan, then head of the Federal Reserve Bank, and urged on him a policy to enable more people to become homeowners, in order to help Al Gore, his vice-president, get elected the following year.
Thus were the sub-prime crisis and the great economic crash of 2008 set in train. It would be safer to put Bill in charge of women’s welfare, frankly.
Clinton News Network caught once again making up facts to defend HRC after my speech. I am exposing Clinton corruption that hurts working families & inner cities. Powerful elites just don't want things to change.
An email Hillary Clinton failed to turn over to the State Department from her home-brewed server revealed she lied about using the private system for convenience, Face The Nation panelist Susan Page said on Sunday. The CBS Sunday show squeezed the news into the final 20 seconds of one of its panel segments. The State Department admitted on Thursday that Clinton didn’t turn over the 2010 email where she told aide Huma Abedin she wanted a “separate address or device” for fear of “the personal being accessible.” “Didn’t turn over an email that showed there were problems with her server,” host John Dickerson said. “That’s not good.” “An important disclosure for two reasons,” Page said. “She gave a different explanation for why she had a private email server. She was concerned about the personal being accessible. It wasn’t a matter of convenience, which is what she told the world. Secondly, she didn’t turn it over. She deleted this email apparently, and it came up because it came through the aide that she had sent it to, so it goes right to those questions about honesty, trustworthiness, transparency.” Dickerson added that the email also went to the security issues associated with using an unserved server at her home. “And that email was about the problems that having a home-brewed server would cause,” Dickerson said. Republican opponent Donald Trump hammered Clinton over her private server this week, calling out her “pathetic” statements in defense of her conduct. The State Department Inspector Generalripped Clinton for using it, laying out numerous department regulations she violated in a blistering report last month.
[h=2]Author and former investigative reporter for The Washington Post and Boston Herald Ron Kessler is backing up assertions first reported by Breitbart News regarding Hillary Clinton from former Secret Service agent Gary Byrne’s forthcoming book Crisis of Character.[/h]Kessler told the Boston Herald, “I think it’s right on. It has to do with her character, the hypocrisy of someone who claims to help the country and yet she can’t bring herself to treat other human beings who are less powerful than she is with respect and dignity. Someone like that can really get out of control once they get in the White House. They have all that power and they become even more arrogant.” Kessler previously penned his own book on Hillary’s time in the White House when her husband Bill was president. “She would actually, even recently, tell agents she didn’t want to see them when they were at events. She literally wanted them to hide behind curtains,” Kessler told the Herald.
Clinton has tried to portray Donald Trump as a “loose cannon” in interviews, but Byrne’s new book may actually give the presumptive GOP nominee evidence to turn the insult around on her. The Trump campaign fired off a press release yesterday saying the book provides “countless examples of Clinton not having the composure to handle the rigors of the Oval Office.” While many traditional media outlets have been reluctant to cover the book so far, Trump may force their hand if he hammers away at it during his televised rallies.
One day, UD [Uniformed Division] officers met to review events at their respective postS. A bewildered new officer arrived. ‘Hey you’ll never believe it, but I passed the First lady and she told me to go to hell!’ A second young officer responded, ‘You think that’s bad? I passed her on the West Colonnade, and all I said was ‘Good morning, First Lady.’ She told me, ‘Go f— yourself.’ ‘Are you serious?’ ‘Go f— yourself!’ He imitated her, pointing a finger. At first, the unit’s sergeant challenged the story “but another officer soon corroborated” it. “Our sergeant was speechless,” Byrne writes. “We assured the rookie that this wasn’t the job’s normal atmosphere—at least, not under the previous administration. The sergeant fumed and called the watch commander, who pushed things up the Secret Service chain of command, who said they’d forward it to Chief of Staff Leon Panetta.” At that point, the Secret Service actually “circulated a memo reminding everyone to report any ‘unusual’ First Family interaction to their supervisors.” “The new guy (who had earned a Purple Heart fighting the Clintons’ war in Somalia) got an apology for the First Lady’s actions—but not directly from her of course,” Byrne writes. In another excerpt obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, Byrne recounts an episode in which Hillary Clinton—in a screaming, obscenity-laced tantrum wherein she referred to Secret Service agents as “assholes”—vented to Bill Clinton that she thought the Secret Service was out to get them. The book reads: ‘They f—ed us, Bill!’ Hillary screamed. I stifled a laugh. The president tried his best to calm her down. He couldn’t. Hillary Clinton possessed no perspective. ‘We need to get rid of these assholes, Bill!’ She thought she was being tough—in command—but the issue commanded her. She fumed that the Secret Service’s Uniformed Division, my branch, disloyal leftovers from Papa Bush, conspired against the administration. ‘They’ve had it out for us from the beginning!’ she kept yelling.
Hillary Clinton made another hypocritical statement on Sunday when she attacked donations from foreign governments to political campaigns, seeing as the Clinton Foundation has received millions of dollars from foreign governments, including those with troubling human rights records. While speaking at the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Indianapolis, Clinton said that we do not know where many of these donations come from, including the possibility that they come from nefarious sources. “We’ve got to take on Citizens United and get rid of the secret money that is rigging the system,” Clinton said after calling on eliminating unaccountable money from politics. Clinton said the country was “skating on thin ice” when it came to the subject. “It’s getting to the point where we have no idea where money is coming from. It’s not being disclosed. It could be foreign government money. It could be criminal cartel money. You don’t have to say. We’ll never know,” Clinton said. “So this is about how we make government work and restore confidence and trust in it. And I think it will clear the way to actually get something done.” The Clinton Foundation has received at least $10 million dollars from Saudi Arabia, a noted abuser of human rights. Clinton has been criticized for receiving these donations by both Republicans and her rival in the primary election, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.).
Ticking the LGBT box on her weekly campaign checklist, Hillary Clinton made a “surprise” appearance at New York City’s Gay Pride parade on Sunday.
With close aide Huma Abedin at her side, Clinton walked with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Al Sharpton. Bill Clinton was nowhere to be found.
“Surprise” appearance? I don’t think it was a surprise at all and in more ways than you think.
[h=2]During his appearance on Breitbart News Sunday, Stephen Miller, senior policy adviser to Donald Trump, finds Big Media’s coverage of the Brexit vote as unsatisfactory as its coverage of the U.S. presidential campaign. He cited CNN’s coverage of Trump’s major speech last week as an example.[/h]“Mr. Trump did a speech recently, laying out some of the most important facts from the book Clinton Cash, and also drawing some linkages between Hillary Clinton’s Wall Street ties and some of her trade decisions,” Miller told SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon. “I think that CNN has an obligation to talk about what these trade deals have done to our working class, and to make Hillary Clinton answer for her support for NAFTA, her support for China, her support for normalizing trade relations with Vietnam, her support for the TPP, her support for the Korean deal, her support for the Columbia deal — shall I go on?” “Now, on the point about Brexit, the people of Britain, as Mr. Trump said, have chosen to declare their independence — to reassert control over their trade deals, over their immigration policies, and over all domestic procedures. And now he’s calling on Americans to do the same thing for their own country,” Miller continued. Noting that the Trump campaign has been meeting with evangelical leaders, Bannon asked if religious conservatives have lost most of their influence in Washington because “there are many evangelicals out there that just decided, hey, I don’t want to get involved politics.” “The evangelical movement in America has been, arguably, one of the most engaged political communities that we have,” Miller replied. “And oftentimes up against really extraordinary odds — a media class that mocks and demeans people of faith, and a political class that is not attuned to their concerns, and often pushes an agenda counter to their concerns. Obviously, a good example of that would be ObamaCare.” “So we need to have all of our voters, including our evangelical voters and our Catholic voters, engage — and what are we going to do? We’re going to repeal ObamaCare, which we know has been a major point of concern for communities of faith. We’re going to appoint judges who are going to support our Constitution, and the protection it affords, to people of faith. And we’re not going to get wrapped up in global financial institutions that put the altar of world GDP above the concerns of people of faith, and Christian people, in our own country,” Miller said. Immigration control was a major topic in the Brexit campaign, and of course it has been a big part of Trump’s presidential campaign, giving Miller another opportunity to draw a parallel. He noted that in Trump’s New York City speech last Wednesday, he “talked about the effect that Hillary Clinton’s immigration plan was going to have on working people in general, and poor Hispanics and African-Americans in particular, and framing it in explicitly economic terms and quality-of-life terms.” “If you look at what was successful for Brexit, it was that same thing — understanding immigration as an issue of quality-of-life, and your ability to have control over resources and your community, and to have some semblance of upward mobility,” Miller said. He praised Breitbart News for getting involved early with issues that other media outlets tended to downplay or ignore. “You did Breitbart London, and you brought Nigel Farage to the United States,” he recalled. “You hosted a dinner, I was privileged enough to be at it. I remember because I was working for Jeff Sessions at the time, and he was seated right next to Nigel, and he talked about what he was going to do in the UK and how many believed that would be possible. And I share that only to say — it’s going to sound like a motivational speech, but it’s true — to all the voters out there: the only limits to what we can achieve is what we believe we can achieve.” Miller addressed criticism of Trump’s journey to the Turnberry golf course in Scotland, on the eve of the Brexit vote, by picturing it as a symbolic rejection of attacks against his business record. “He went there to support his son, and also it was a chance to talk about Brexit in the United Kingdom,” said Miller. “It’s funny how Hillary Clinton and others try and diminish Donald Trump’s business record, and yet he has just acquired the most important piece of property that’s undeveloped in Washington, D.C. — the old Post Office building. He’s acquired one of the most historic, magical golf courses on the face of the Earth. He has the most iconic piece of property in the New York City skyline, and one of them in the Chicago skyline, and all across the country. So it really is a testament to his skills as a businessman.” He anticipated that Trump’s promised series of major policy speeches will present a sharp contrast with Hillary Clinton — “the difference between the darkest of nights and the brightest of dawns.” Bannon brought up a series of damaging revelations against Clinton over the past few weeks, including the confirmation that Clinton destroyed official emails, in defiance of sworn statements to the contrary; edited her official calendar as Secretary of State to conceal politically inconvenient meetings with big-money donors; and arranged for anunqualified donor to sit on an important national security council. “It’s hard to get your head around corruption on that kind of global scale,” said Miller. “It’s interesting, Hillary Clinton is not only a globalist, she’s also involved in global international corruption. It’s one thing to be an economic globalist and pursue policies to the detriment of the American people. It’s a whole other thing to be engaged in a scheme of international global corruption to personally and financially profit from selling out America.” “The level of effort that she went to, to conceal her activities — everything you just mentioned, and also the work on, of course, the private email server, which put every American at risk — obviously demonstrates a guilty conscience,” he continued. “In other words, you don’t try and hide foreign donations, and meetings with donors, and all of your emails, if everything you’re doing is above-board. That is so common-sense, and so obvious to anybody, that I think it would be impossible for a reasonable person to deny that statement.” He added that the real reason Clinton deleted almost 30,000 emails, ostensibly because they were personal communications unrelated to her job as Secretary of State, “is almost certainly to cover up the corrupt dealings that are documented in Clinton Cash and elsewhere.” “You cannot elevate someone to the presidency who has not only been engaged in documented widespread international corruption, but then has engaged in a systematic effort, at the expense of U.S. national security, to delete, hide, and conceal the records of said corruption,” Miller declared. “That would just be unimaginable, to take somebody involved in that kind of behavior — which, again, has put every single American at risk — and then give them a promotion.” Bannon asserted that the primary purpose of Clinton’s homebrew email server was to thwart Freedom of Information Act requests from groups like Judicial Watch and Citizens United — which seem much more interested in filing FOIA requests against Clinton and the Obama Administration than left-wing “good government” groups that were active during Republican administrations. “The irony is that Hillary Clinton has found whole new ways to get special interests involved in politics and to corrupt our political system with money,” Miller pointed out. “At least other politicians simply rely on campaign contributions when it comes to quid pro quo. Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton actually got rich themselves doing it, putting money in their own personal pockets. Bill Clinton gives some speech somewhere, all have business in front of the State Department, Hillary Clinton renders a favorable decision, and then they pocket the cash.” “Where is Chuck Schumer or Harry Reid?” he asked, referring to Democrat politicians who often complain about the nefarious influence of money in politics. “I think you would be hard-pressed to find an example in American history of a politician who had engaged in more questionable ethical financial dealings than Hillary Clinton — and that is the politest way possible to put it.” Miller said it was significant that Trump’s first major campaign speech against Clinton focused so heavily upon corruption. “That will be a major theme moving forward,” he promised. “At the end of the day, I don’t think that the American people are going to promote somebody who not only engaged in enterprise corruption, but who engaged in enterprise corruption in order to make herself wealthy at the expense of the country.” “It’s not just extraordinary corruption. It’s extraordinary corruption for the purpose of hurting America,” Miller said.
[h=1]House Benghazi Report Details Military, Intelligence Failures[/h][h=2]Report says U.S. did not attempt to deploy assets, troops during Benghazi attack[/h]SHARE TWEET

Gutted U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, after Sept. 11, 2012 attack / AP
The U.S. military never attempted to deploy any assets or troops to Benghazi during the 13-hour attack on the American consulate in 2012, according to a supplemental reportreleased by the House Select Committee on Benghazi on Tuesday morning. Although Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has said he ordered three support teams to deploy to Benghazi about two hours into the attack, the committee said it found no evidence that these forces were mobilized until hours after the attack ended. Military assets, such as fighter planes and armed drones never left the ground, according to the report. “We are now convinced, contrary to the administration’s public claim that the military did not have time to get to Benghazi, that the administration never launched men or machines to help directly in the fight,” wrote Reps. Mike Pompeo (R., Kan.) and Jim Jordan (R., Ohio) in the analysis. “That is very different from what we have been told to date. And the evidence is compelling.” The congressmen issued their assessment as a supplement to the long-awaited report by the Benghazi Committee. According to the analysis, the Obama administration was fixated on how to frame the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack to the public, and spent little time trying to coordinate a military response while the attack was ongoing. The attack took place less than two months before the 2012 presidential election. There were early indications the assault was planned—such as targeted mortar fire—but Obama administration officials initially linked it to spontaneous anti-American protests that had occurred the same day in Cairo. Four Americans died in the 13-hour battle: U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, and CIA contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty. In the hours and days that followed the assault, Secretary Hillary Clinton, United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, and other administration officials publicly suggested that the attack spontaneously spun out of a protest over an anti-Islam video. Officials later blamed this erroneous assessment on conflicting intelligence and confusion during the attack. But diplomatic security agents who spoke to the committee said there were no signs or reports of protests on the ground and it was clear early on that they were facing a coordinated terrorist assault. The House Benghazi Committee, led by Chairman Trey Gowdy (R., S.C.), has interviewed nearly 100 witnesses and reviewed over 75,000 pages of documents as part of its investigation into the attack. The committee’s report relied on testimony that diplomatic security agents at the compound gave to the committee. One of the agents said there was “Zip, nothing, nada” to indicate that there were protests in Benghazi leading up to the attack. Another agent who said there was no sign of protesters was also providing dispatches to Washington “every 15 to 30 minutes throughout the night—giving the State Department virtually a front row seat to the attack.” Other security officials said there were signs of growing threats in Benghazi in the months leading up to the attack. Nine months earlier, one diplomatic security officer testified that he told a State Department security desk officer shortly after arriving in Benghazi that his trip there “was a suicide mission; that there was a very good chance that everybody here was going to die; that there was absolutely no ability here to prevent an attack whatever.” The desk officer in Washington reportedly responded that “everybody back here in D.C. knows that people are going to die in Benghazi, and nobody cares and nobody is going to care until somebody does die.” But according to committee testimony from security officers, there was pressure from Washington for the outpost to remain open in Benghazi and for Ambassador Chris Stevens to bring the State Department a “deliverable”—a permanent consulate in Benghazi. The report also referred to an internal State Department talking points memo, which was circulated by a public relations officer on September 17, 2012. The document said officials “have not yet seen any signs that the attack on our consulate in Benghazi was other than premeditated or coordinated.” But in the draft obtained by the Benghazi committee, there were strike marks through words “premeditated or coordinated” and they were replaced by the word “spontaneous.” According to Reps. Pompeo and Jordan, the document suggests that the State Department changed its public comments to reflect UN Ambassador Rice’s televised claim that the attack was “spontaneous.” “No one asked about it could explain the change,” wrote the congressmen. “The change—from the truth to a known false statement—is troubling.” Democrats on the Benghazi Committee, who have been critical of the investigation, released their own report blasting Gowdy on Monday. They accused the committee chairman of “trying to land a front-page conviction rather than a neutral judge of facts seeking to improve the security of our diplomatic corps.” A spokesperson for Gowdy responded by accusing Democrats of failing to participate in the committee’s investigation and obstructing it in order to defend Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. “As Chairman Gowdy has said, this is not about one person,” said spokesman Matt Wolking. “This investigation is about the four brave Americans we lost in Libya: Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty. That is how the Majority has conducted its thorough investigation, and we look forward to revealing the new information we have uncovered to the families and the American people.”
[h=2]On Friday, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign released the “Top 50 Facts about Hillary Clinton” that Trump detailed in his speech last Wednesday. Each assertion the Trump campaign lists is presented with government reports and/or media reports.[/h]After Breitbart’s review, the 49 allegations, as number 11 was omitted in press release, listed by the Trump campaign mostly relate to Clinton’s involvement in “disastrous” trade deals for the United States as well as questionable decisions and interactions with foreign affairs — especially criticizing her decisions and involvement with interventions in the Middle East. Below is the list of 49 facts presented by the Trump campaign and a brief summary of the details reviewed by Breitbart News, which were noted in the 35-page press release that can be read in more detail here: 1. “Clinton Trade Deals ‘Are Disastrous’” Trump’s campaign argues the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) — which was enacted by President Bill Clinton — and the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), which is currently awaiting a vote in Congress and had support from Hillary Clinton, cause mass job losses in the United States — especially in the manufacturing industry. 2. “Clinton Lied About Her Landing In Bosnia” In 2008, First Lady Hillary Clinton recalled a 1996 trip as First Lady to Bosnia. She was supposed to meet with families of U.S. soldier, but claimed upon landing she was under sniper fire and had to run with her head down instead of attending a greeting ceremony.An Associated Press report from 1996 detailing the eve of her arrival, however, made no mention of this incident. In fact, a CBS News video later revealed she was under no visible duress, greeted instead on the tarmac by a child who offered her a copy of a poem. 3. “Clinton Performed Favors for Donors As Secretary Of State” Trump argues Clinton has used the Clinton Foundation as a way to fundraise where donors can gain access to political favors. He cites Raj Fernando who donated between $1 million and $5 million and was appointed as International Security Advisor to the State Department by Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff. He also details favors given to foreign leaders and Clinton Foundation donors such as the Sultan of Oman, Indian politician Amar Singh, and Russian’s Uranium One. 4. “The Clintons Made Millions From Speeches To Special Interests” Trump hit Clinton over her big money speeches to Wall Street — something her Democratic challenger Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) also would use to criticize her during the 2016 Democratic primary, specifically for not releasing the transcripts of the secret speeches. The Clintons made $153 million since 2011 giving speeches to special interests such as foreign governments, CEOs and lobbyists. 5. “Clinton Supported Her Husband’s ‘Disastrous’ NAFTA Policy” As First Lady and again in 2003, Clinton praised NAFTA in her book; however, the Economic Policy Institute blames NAFTA for a loss of 700,000 jobs as of 2010. 6. “Clinton Supported China’s Entrance Into The WTO” Trump’s campaign cites a television appearance on CNN in 2000 where Clinton says normalizing trade relations would allow U.S. companies to compete with China. “I think it is in the interests of America and American workers that we provide the option for China to go into the WTO,” Clinton stated. “Right now, we are trading with China. We have a huge trade deficit with China. The agreement that has been negotiated between our two countries would open their markets to us in a way that they are not yet open, and in fact, for many large manufactured products, like automobiles, we would have the first chance to really get in and compete in that marketplace.” 7. “Since Hillary-Backed Trade Agreements Adoped Nearly 1/3 Of Americas Manufacturing Jobs Have Disappeared” Trump argues that because of China’s entrance into the WTO in 2001, by 2013 the trade deficit with China skyrocketed and 3.2 million U.S. jobs were lost. 8. “The Trade Deficit With China Soared Under Clinton As Secretary Of State” Trump says America’s trade deficit with China increased 40 percent while Clinton was Secretary of State. 9. “China Stole Hundreds Of Billions Of Dollars In Intellectual Property During Clinton Tenure At State” Trump’s campaign points to a 2013 report by the Independent Commission on the Theft of American Intellectual Property, which revealed that the U.S. lost $300 billion annually from American intellectual property (IP) rights having been stolen. 10. “Clinton Gave China Millions Of Jobs And Grew Rich In Return” According to the Economic Policy Institute, after the U.S. normalized trade relations with China — as Clinton supported — 3.2 million U.S. jobs were displaced. Trump also points to a Washington Post article detailing how Bill Clinton received $56.3 million from speeches delivered in foreign countries including China. 11. “The Clintons Profited From Speeches To Chinese Interests While She Was Negotiating With China” Trump cited Breitbart News editor Peter Schweitzer’s book Clinton Cash during his speech, reading, “Here is a quote from the book, ‘at the center of U.S. Policy toward China was Hillary Clinton. At this critical time for U.S.- China relations, Bill Clinton gave a number of speeches that were underwritten by the Chinese government and its supporters. These funds were paid to the Clintons’ bank account directly, while Hillary was negotiating with China on behalf of the United States.’” 12. “Clinton Supported TPP Which Will Destroy Jobs” Bloomberg reports that during her time as Secretary of State, Clinton helped draft the TPP trade deal and CNN notes that she delivered at least 45 public speeches supporting the deal. The Economic Policy Institute believes the TPP — which is a trade pact involving 11 nations — will eliminate more than 2 million jobs in the United States. 13. “Clinton Deleted The TPP Record From Her Book And 30,000 Emails” According to the Trump campaign, in Clinton’s memoir Hard Choices, she wrote favorably in support of the TPP and about her hard work negotiating the deal during her time as Secretary of State, but according to The International Business Times, a recent paperback edition of Hard Choices omitted her earlier TPP reference. Adding to the action of deleting information, Trump also cites Clinton’s private, personal email server where she conducted her business as Secretary of State and how she deleted, wiping the server clean, of her emails. 14. “Clinton Will Adopt TPP” “This is the latest Clinton cover-up and it doesn’t change anything. If she is elected president, she will adopt the Trans- Pacific Partnership and we will lose millions of jobs and our economic independence for good,” Trump challenged in his speech. 15. “Clinton Will Betray Workers On Trade” Trump cites Clinton’s flip flop on the TPP, the Korea Deal and the Columbia Deal to reveal her inconsistency on international trade. 16. “Clinton’s Foreign Policy Has Cost Americans Thousands Of Lives, Trillions Of Dollars, and Unleashed ISIS Across The World” On this assertion, Trump points to Clinton’s original vote to support the war in Iraq, but then subsequent support of President Obama’s plan to withdraw forces — citing a Reuters report that Operation Iraqi Freedom cost trillions in taxpayer dollars. Trump also questions Clinton’s decision on how to handle ISIS and her intervention into Libya. 17. “Among Clinton’s Victims Was Ambassador Chris Stevens” Trump blasted Clinton over the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya where four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were murdered after the State Department — under Clinton’s watch — denied numerous requests for increased security. 18. “Clinton Was At Home Sleeping While Attacks In Benghazi Continued” “He was left helpless to die as Hillary Clinton soundly slept in her bed. That’s right. When the phone rang, as per the commercial, at three o’clock in the morning, Hillary Clinton was sleeping,” Trump stated during his speech, pointing to a report from FactCheck.org that revealed Clinton said she decided to leave the State Department and work from home the night of the Benghazi attack. 19. “Ambassador Stevens And His Staff In Libya Made Hundreds Of Requests For Increased Security And Were Denied” The State Department denied numbers of requests for additional security in Benghazi during the months leading up to the attack. 20. “Clinton Lied About A Video Causing The Deaths Of Americans In Benghazi” Trump cites Clintons remarks on September 12, 2012 over the deaths in Benghazi, where she blamed the attack on a YouTube video. However, the night of the attack, Clinton emailed her daughter Chelsea Clinton and said the attack came from an “Al Qaeda-Like group,” according to NBC News. Additionally, according to a State Department release, Clinton reportedly told the Egyptian Prime Minister that the attack in Benghazi “had nothing to do with the film” but rather “was a planned attack — not a protest.” 21. “In Four Years Clinton Managed To Single Handedly Destabilize The Middle East And Hand Over Libya To ISIS” Trump criticized Clinton for intervening in Libya without resolving how the country would be governed after Gaddafi was removed, and points to ISIS increasing its presence in Libya following the intervention. 22. “Iran Is Now The Dominant Islamic Power In The Middle East And Is On The Road To A Nuclear Weapon, Thanks To Clinton” Trump expresses criticism over Clinton’s support of the Iran deal, where the U.S. is giving billions to Iran and allowing sanctions relief where its economy could revitalize. 23. “Hillary Has Supported Regime Change In Syria, Leading To One Of The Bloodiest Civil Wars And Giving ISIS A Launching Pad To The West” Trump argues that Clinton’s support of a regime change in Syria resulted in ISIS obtaining territory gains. 24. “Clinton Helped Force Out A Friendly Regime In Egypt” Trump argued, “She helped force out a friendly regime in Egypt and replace it with the radical Muslim Brotherhood. The Egyptian military has retaken control, but Clinton has opened the Pandora’s box of radical Islam.” 25. “Clinton’s Announced-Timetable for Withdrawal from Iraq Allowed ISIS to Rush In and Fill The Void” The Trump campaign lists several news headlines where the Obama administration stated their plan for withdrawal, providing dates and as a result, “American and Iraqi analysts said the Qaeda franchise is shifting its tactics and strategies – like attacking Iraqi security forces in small squads – to exploit gaps left by the departing American troops and to try to reignite sectarian violence in the country,” according to The New York Times in 2011. 26. “Clinton Learned Nothing From Iraq” Trump argues the lessons from Iraq were ignored by Clinton, who, once she became Secretary of State, pushed the intervention into Libya, citing French Ambassador Gerard Araud who said, “It was the same mistake you made in Iraq” in reference to Libya. 27. “Clinton Refuses To Acknowledge The Threat Posed By Radical Islam” Trump took a swipe at Clinton, as he has Obama, for not identifying terrorism as “radical Islam.” 28. “Clinton Supports A 550% Increase In Syrian Refugees” Trump points to an appearance on CBS’s Face the Nation, where Clinton said she thinks Obama’s plan to allow 10,000 Syrian refugees into the U.S. wasn’t enough. “Look, we’re facing the worst refugee crisis since the end of World War II, and I think the United States has to do more, and I would like to see us move from what is a good start with 10,000 to 65,000 and begin immediately to put into place the mechanisms for vetting the people that we would take in,” stated Clinton. 29. “Hundreds Of Immigrants And Their Children Have Been Recently Charged With Terrorism” Trump cites a Fox News report that revealed Congressional data suggests hundreds of terror plans in the U.S. were stopped since September 11, 2001, and “at least 380 were foreign-born.” 30. “Clinton Policy Is Motivated By 1,000 Foreign Donations That Weren’t Disclosed With The State Department” Trump points to a 2015 report by Ken Silverstein in Harper’s Magazine which notes, “The Clinton Foundation is a professionally structured money-laundering operation.” 31. “Bill Clinton Was Paid $750,000 From A Telecom Company Facing State Department Sanctions While Hillary Was Secretary of State, And Was Subsequently Spared” The Trump campaign cites the book Clinton Cash, detailing the Swedish Telecom Giant Ericsson that came under pressure from the United States for selling equipment to oppressive governments that would allegedly use the equipment to control their people. 32. “Clinton’s State Department Approved The Transfer of 20% Of America’s Uranium Holdings To Russia, While Investors Funneled $145 Million To The Clinton Foundation” Trump again references Clinton Cash, which reveals a connection between the United State’s uranium holdings with Russia’s Uranium One to $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation. 33. “Hillary Clinton Appointed A Top Donor To A Sensitive National Security Board, Despite His Having No Credentials” Trump argues that Rajiv Fernando, who donated between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation, was appointed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the International Security Board although he didn’t have international security credentials, according to ABC News. The Washington Examiner reported that the State Department under Clinton’s watch then rushed top secret security clearance for Fernando. 34. “Clinton Accepted Gifts From The Government Of Brunei As Secretary Of State As Brunei Pushed Sharia Law” “Hillary Clinton accepted $58,000 in jewelry from the government of Brunei when she was Secretary of State – plus millions more for her foundation. The Sultan of Brunei has pushed oppressive Sharia law, including the punishment of death by stoning for being gay. The government of Brunei also stands to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Hillary’s Trans-Pacific Partnership, which she would absolutely approve if given the chance,” Trump alleged in his speech, citing donations to the Clinton Foundation and investigative reports from The Washington Free Beacon. 35. “Hillary Took $25 Million From Saudi Araba, Where Being LGBT Is Punishable By Death” The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia donated more than $10 million dollars to the Clinton Foundation. Homosexuals are legally stoned to death in Saudi Arabia and women in Saudi Arabia are violently discriminated against. 36. “Hillary Took Millions From Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, And Other Countries That Abuse Women And The LGBT Community” Trump argues that the State of Kuwait, which was cited by the State Department in 2012 for Human Rights problems, donated at least $5 million to the Clinton Foundation. Both Oman and Qatar, which were also noted by the State Department for Human Rights practices against women, donated at least $1 million to the Clinton Foundation. 37. “Clinton Illegally Used A Private Email Server While At The State Department” Trump cites 2005 State Department regulations that prohibited the use of a private, personal email server for government business to support his allegation that Clinton’s conduct as Secretary of State where she used a private email server was illegal. 38. “Clinton’s Emails Were Easily Hacked By Foreign Governments” In this allegation, Trump cites an Associated Press report titled, “Clinton Server’s Software Had Hacking Risk,” which notes, “Two such hacking ‘scans’ occurred in 2012 from a Serbian computer looking for accessible doors or ‘ports’ into the server.” Fox News has reported about a Romanian hacker who claims he hacked Clinton. 39. “Clinton Deleted 33,000 Emails” Trump cites Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton, who in an interview with The Hill, said, “She didn’t want to be held accountable for her conduct in office.” The Hill reported, “Fitton told The Hill that he expects the government will eventually review the approximately 30,000 emails that Clinton claimed to have deleted from her server because they were personal in nature.” 40.”Clinton’s Private Emails Could Be Used as A Blackmail File for Foreign Governments” In this assertion, Trump cites Forbes’ Paul Roderick Gregory, who reported in 2016 the Russian Intelligence Community supposedly knew about Clinton’s private server since 2013. 41. “Clinton Will Pursue An Open Borders Policy” Trump points to Clinton’s own immigration plan on her website as well as a Vanity Fairarticle noting, “In short, under Clinton’s policy, if you manage to sneak across the border illegally and make it into a city, you won’t be removed. You could call that open borders, except it’s messier. It’s more like a free-for-all.” 42. “Minorities Will Be Hurt Most From Clinton’s Policies” Trump argues Clinton’s plan to resettle foreign refugees into the U.S. will cost billions of dollars and that increased immigration will hurt American workers’ wages. He also notes the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ data that shows a record high unemployment rate for both African Americans and Hispanics. 43. “Sergeant Mendoza Brendam Died Because Of The Immigration Policies Supported By Hillary Clinton” Trump argues that open border policies, which Clinton supports, result in crimes such as the murder of Sergeant Mendoza Brendam by an illegal immigrant who had previously been charged with other crimes in Colorado, but was never deported. 44. “For The Amount Of Money Hillary Clinton Wants To Spend On Refugees, We Could Rebuild Every Inner-City In America” Trump, citing a Breitbart News article, says the cost of resettling 10,000 refugees is $6.5 billion dollars, which brings Clinton’s plans into the hundreds of billions, when taking into account lifetime benefits. 45. “Clinton’s Immigration Agenda Will Keep Them Poor, Unemployed Americans Out Of Work, And Hurt Minorities” Trump cites the Center for Immigration Studies, which reports immigration lowers American workers’ wages by roughly $400 billion. 46. “Clinton Will Appoint Judges Who Will Abolish The 2nd Amendment” Trump challenges that if elected president, Clinton will appoint liberal activist judges who would support gun control measures. He cites her previous statement that Australia’s gun ban program was “worth considering” in America. 47. “ObamaCare Is A Job-Killing Disaster” On this assertion, Trump cites a Joint Committee on Taxation report and the Congressional Budget Office noting that the Affordable Care Act implements $859.7 billion in taxes on small businesses and innovation, as well as investments. 48. “Real Wages Haven’t Increased For America Workers” Trump argues that when considering inflation, a 2014 Pew Research Center Analysis showed, “Today’s Average Hourly Wage Has Just About The Same Purchasing Power As It Did In 1979.” 49. “Clinton’s Regime of Taxation, Regulation, And Open Borders, Will Destroy Jobs And Drive Down Wages” Trump argues that several reviews of Clinton’s tax plan by the Tax Foundation, a tax policy and research organization, suggest her plan would lower the size of the economy and drive down income. He also argues that according to the Center for Immigration Studies, illegal immigration lowers American workers’ wages by at least $99 billion each year. Breitbart News reached out to Hillary Clinton’s campaign spokesperson Nick Merrill for a statement responding to the Trump campaign’s list of allegations presented in its Friday press release, but did not receive a response.
Let's start with this from the AP story: "The emails were not among the 55,000 pages of work-related messages that Clinton turned over to the agency in response to public records lawsuits seeking copies of her official correspondence."
Remember that Clinton and a small group of people working for her reviewed all of the emails she sent from her private server and made the decision about what was solely personal and what was work-related. She handed over the work-related email and permanently deleted those that she and her team decided were purely personal. She wound up deleting more emails than she turned over to State.

She has done nothing but lie about this matter. Every public utterance has contained a lie.
