Hillary Clinton

hillary clinton

Hillary Clinton has not given up on the race for the number one public office in the US, after new speculation that the 2016 candidate is preparing for a re-match with Donald Trump in the 2020 election.

Ms. Clinton lost to President Donald Trump in an election pollsters have believed would be won by the former secretary of state and first lady. Clinton in the past week was seen at different high profile events, and also she has been asking for donation to support her cause.

                          

In recent emails sent to her supporters, Clinton has raised her voice at different Trump administration agenda, with the latest been the immigration "zero tolerance" policy that separates kids from their mother when they arrives at the US border, seeking assylum from the US government.

The recent rants about Trump immigration policy sees the former candidate raising more than 1.5million in donations, distributed among several groups supporting the migrant children and their parents. Some of the groups that received the donations includes the American Civil Liberties Union, the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project, the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project.

Clinton is set to appear at the third annual Ozy Fest that takes place July 21 and 22 in Central Park. 

The emergence of Clinton might stoke some fire in the Democratic party as liberals are not happy that the party leader worked against Bernie Sanders to give the nomination to Clinton, who then lost the election to the then Republican candidate, Donald Trump.

There are other candidates in the Democratic party that are looking to challenge Donald Trump come 2020, and most of these candidates have gone to meet former President Barack Obama to ask for insights, and Obama has also acted as power-broker from his Washington office.

Some of the candidates that have met with Obama includes, Senator Elizabeth Warren, Senator Bernie Sanders,  former Vice President Joe Biden and former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. 

There are some other candidates that are rumoured for the position, though yet to meet Obama, and they includes, New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Nevada Senator Kamala Harris and former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe.

HILLARY CLINTON Fire and fury

Former first lady and 2016 presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton made a surprise appearance at the 2018 Grammys, amidst cheers from the audience, and decided to poke fun at the U.S President Donald Trump with the Michael Wolffe book, Fire and Fury.

               

During a pre-taped bit about spoken word albums, the host of the Grammys, James Corden asked the audience if somebody will win awards if they do a spoken word but about the Trump's presidency. He then used some celebrities for samples, asking that they read from the recent book release of author Michael Wolffe, Fire and Fury.

DJ Khaled was next in line, then he suddenly went out of line, that was when Hillary Clinton shows up, and received a loud cheer from the audience.

Steve Bannon was President Trump loyalist and also was a Chief Strategist before he was fired from the White house. He used to be the Executive Chairman of an online publication, Breitbart News, an alt-right news website.

Trump and Steve Bannon used to be great friends until yesterday when a book, Fire and Fury: Inside the White House, were leaked, and later unofficially released on Wednesday. The book written by Author and media critic Michael Wolff, dive deep into the administration and campaign for President Donald Trump.

                       

Wolff had access to the West Wing of the White House, so he was able to document all his time from the Election Day to this past October. In the book contains 18 months of conversations, interviews, with President Donald Trump and his White House senior staff members.

Ivanka Trump Ambition Over Hillary Clinton

Ivanka Trump is one of Trump's senior staff with no clear roles in the White House. Ivanka has travelled and also had received more invitation to state functions outside US than the current US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.

While Hillary Clinton was looking to break the ceiling and become the first lady president of the United States, Ivanka Trump is also nursing the same idea of becoming the first woman president, In the book Michael revealed;

Jared and Ivanka had made an earnest deal between themselves: if sometime in the future the time came, she'd be the one to run for president (or the first one of them to take the shot). The first woman president, Ivanka entertained, would not be Hillary Clinton, it would be Ivanka Trump.

Trump And Ann Coulter

In the book, it shows that far-right commentator, Ann Coulter had told President Trump never to hire any of his kids. Ann Coulter took the President-elect aside and said "Nobody is apparently telling you this,” she told him. “But you can’t. You just can’t hire your children."

                      

Trump did not take Ann's advise as he would later go on to hire Ivanka Trump and her husband to the administration.

Trump's Food Poisoning

The book also revealed that President Trump is scared of food poisoning. He believes there are people out there looking to poison is food, and this is why he goes to McDonalds unannounced to get his food, since nobody knows he was coming, and the food is already premade.

                   

A lot of Americans have debated the fact that President Trump does not like to read, with some saying maybe he can't read. In the passage, there is a passage that says that Trump don't like reading any reports given to him. He does not even skim the documents, because he believes on his expertise about the subject, no matter how irrelevant it is to anybody in the room.

Crude Comment On Hope Hicks

Hope Hicks, White House Communications Director and longtime aide also got a crude remark from Trump. According to the excerpt in the book;

Shortly after [former campaign manager Corey] Lewandowski, with whom Hicks had an on-and-off romantic relationship, was fired in June 2016 for clashing with Trump family members, Hicks sat in Trump Tower with Trump and his sons, worrying about Lewandowski's treatment in the press and wondering aloud how she might help him. Trump, who otherwise seemed to treat Hicks in a protective and even paternal way, looked up and said, "Why? You've already done enough for him. You're the best piece of tail he'll ever have," sending Hicks running from the room.

Trump Set Up His Friends To Have Sex With Their Wives

The Book also shows how Trump will convince the wives of his friends by telling them that their husbands are adulterers, only to invite his friends, and tell them that there are girls in other floors, while putting the phone on speakerphone as their  wives listen on the speaker at the other end.

Trump liked to say that one of the things that made life worth living was getting your friends' wives into bed. In pursuing a friend's wife, he would try to persuade the wife that her husband was perhaps not what she thought. Then he'd have his secretary ask the friend into his office; once the friend arrived, Trump would engage in what was, for him, more or less constant sexual banter. Do you still like having sex with your wife? How often? You must have had a better fuck than your wife? Tell me about it. I have girls coming in from Los Angeles at three o'clock. We can go upstairs and have a great time. I promise...And all the while, Trump would have his friend's wife on the speakerphone, listening in.

Former Fox News chief Roger Ailes On Israel

Pivoting from Trump himself, Bannon plunged on with the Trump agenda. “Day one we’re moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Netanyahu’s all-in. Sheldon”—Adelson, the casino billionaire and far-right Israel defender—“is all-in. We know where we’re heading on this … Let Jordan take the West Bank, let Egypt take Gaza. Let them deal with it. Or sink trying.”

“Where’s Donald on this?” asked Ailes, the clear implication being that Bannon was far out ahead of his benefactor.

“He’s totally onboard.”

“I wouldn’t give Donald too much to think about,” said an amused Ailes.

Bannon snorted. “Too much, too little—doesn’t necessarily change things.”

“What has he gotten himself into with the Russians?” pressed Ailes.

“Mostly,” said Bannon, “he went to Russia and he thought he was going to meet Putin. But Putin couldn’t give a shit about him. So he’s kept trying.”

Trump Is A (expletive) Idiot -Fox News CEO Rupert Murdoch called Trump

Fox News CEO Rupert Murdoch over the years have been known not to be a 100% fan of Trump, also Murdoch knows that going against Trump will result to going against his profit in the News business, and losing a lot of conservative viewers. So Murdoch does the best thing to do, he ally with Trump.

In a phone call with Murdoch after meeting with the Silicon Valley CEO, Murdoch called Trump a f****idiot. Read excerpt from the book;

On December 14, a high-level delegation from Silicon Valley came to Trump Tower to meet him. Later that afternoon, according to a source privy to details of the conversation, Trump called Rupert Murdoch, who asked him how the meeting had gone.

“Oh, great, just great,” said Trump. “These guys really need my help. Obama was not very favorable to them, too much regulation. This is really an opportunity for me to help them.”

“Donald,” said Murdoch, “for eight years these guys had Obama in their pocket. They practically ran the administration. They don’t need your help.”

“Take this H-1B visa issue. They really need these H-1B visas.”

Murdoch suggested that taking a liberal approach to H-1B visas, which open America’s doors to select immigrants, might be hard to square with his promises to build a wall and close the borders. But Trump seemed unconcerned, assuring Murdoch, “We’ll figure it out.”

“What a fucking idiot,” said Murdoch, shrugging, as he got off the phone.

Trump Was Not Expecting To Win, He Assured Melania

Like everybody else outside the US, Trump would lose the election. He had thought losing would also mean winning and to members of his team. In an excerpt in the book;

Not only did Trump disregard the potential conflicts of his own business deals and real-estate holdings, he audaciously refused to release his tax returns. Why should he? Once he lost, Trump would be both insanely famous and a martyr to Crooked Hillary. His daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared would be international celebrities. Steve Bannon would become the de facto head of the tea-party movement. Kellyanne Conway would be a cable-news star. Melania Trump, who had been assured by her husband that he wouldn’t become president, could return to inconspicuously lunching. Losing would work out for everybody. Losing was winning.

Michael Flynn Believes Trump Would Lose Too

Mike Flynn, Trump's future National Security Adviser, who became Trump's opening act at campaign rallies and whom Trump loved to hear complain about the CIA and the haplessness of American spies, had been told by friends that it had not been a good idea to take $45,000 from the Russians for a speech. "Well, it would only be a problem if he won," he assured them, knowing that it would therefore not be a problem."

            

Trump known for not backing down against critics also went against his former friend, he said;

Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind. Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party.

Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn’t as easy as I make it look. Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country. Yet Steve had everything to do with the loss of a Senate seat in Alabama held for more than thirty years by Republicans. Steve doesn’t represent my base—he’s only in it for himself. 

Steve pretends to be at war with the media, which he calls the opposition party, yet he spent his time at the White House leaking false information to the media to make himself seem far more important than he was. It is the only thing he does well. Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books. 

 

We have many great Republican members of Congress and candidates who are very supportive of the Make America Great Again agenda. Like me, they love the United States of America and are helping to finally take our country back and build it up, rather than simply seeking to burn it all down.

Trump lawyers have now issued a cease-and-desist letter to Steve Bannon. Steve has been accused of violating his non-disclosure agreement signed during his time in the White House.

FBI Director, James Comey has been fired, in a statement, according to the White House. 

The director was in the FBI office in Los Angeles for field inspection and recruitment event to boost diversity, and was watching the TV when he saw about his removal from his position. According to officials at the scene of where Comey learned of his fate, the director was "surprised, really surprised" and was "caught flat-footed."

            

According to the White House statement;

Today, President Donald J. Trump informed FBI Director James Comey that he has been terminated and removed from office, President Trump acted based on the clear recommendations of both Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions..

While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau.

It is essential that we find new leadership for the FBI that restores public trust and confidence in its vital law enforcement mission.

Comey while testifying in front of the House Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017 confirmed to that the bureau was investigating Russian interference in the U.S. election and "any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts."

Also a later by the Attorney-General Jeff Sessions also released that reads;

It is essential that this Department of Justice clearly reaffirm its commitment to longstanding principles that ensure the integrity and fairness of federal investigations and prosecutions. The Director of the FBI must be someone who follows faithfully the rules and principles of the Department of Justice and who sets the right example for our law enforcement officials and others in the Department.

There has been back and forth love-hate relationship between Donald Trump and James Comey. Trump has criticized Comey before for helping Hillary Clinton get away with charges,Trump tweeted in May 2;

FBI Director Comey was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds! The phony Trump/Russia story was an excuse used by the Democrats as justification for losing the election. Perhaps Trump just ran a great campaign?

In one of his campaign in 2016, Trump had praised Comey when he [Comey] said that the bureau would be reviewing Hillary Clinton emails again, the then candidate Trump on his campaign trail said;

it took guts" for Comey to announce that the FBI would be reviewing emails in the previously closed investigation into Clinton's private email server.

Andrew McCabe is the current acting director of the FBI, he was the deputy to James Comey prior to his firing by Donald Trump.

President-elect Donald Trump is widening search for selecting his secretary of state, as more suitable candidates are reported to be meeting him this week for the same position.

The search for secretary of state have been reported to be between the former New York mayor and Donald Trump close ally during his campaign, Rudy Giuliani, and also former presidential candidate, Mitt Romney.

                  

Trump adviser, Kellyanne Conway told reporters on Sunday;

There is not a finite list of finalists only because he will interview with additional candidates early this week. It is true that he's broadened the search, and the secretary of State is an incredibly important position for any president.

Aides have claimed that the shortlist for the position had been narrowed to four candidates, but Donald Trump is reported to be moving is choices away from both Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani.

Former CIA Director David Petraeus, who pleaded guilty to leaking classified information in 2015, would have to check with his parole officer before he could be named secretary of state.

Rex Tillerson, ExxonMobil CEO and retired Navy Admiral James G. Stavridis have also got an invitation to meet Trump.  John Bolton, former ambassador to the UN, and Jon Huntsman, former ambassador to China, are also considered for the position.

Mitt Romney has been criticized by both Trump's supporters and his inner circle. A recent "Thank You" tour by Trump at Ohio see his supporting chanting, "No Romney." The former presidential candidate was a harsh critic of Donald J. Trump, saying he would be the worst president of the United States during his campaign.

Rudy Giuliani plea for the position in public media and his different International business ties does not want Trump to consider him for the job. According to New York times, Giuliani gave paid speeches to an Iranian opposition group that was also on the state department list of  terrorist organization until 2012.

He also gave paid speeches as much as $200,000, which earns him $11.4 million in a year. Also, he is reported to have a business contract with the Qatar government.

Donald Trump during his campaign had criticized his rival, Hillary Clinton for giving paid speeches to Goldman Sachs and for receiving donations via the Clinton foundation from the government of Qatar.

Watch Donald Trump Threatens Hillary Clinton

    

On Tuesday, Kellyanne Conway announced that the president-elect will not pursue an investigation into the former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton private email server or the family charity organization.

While speaking to MSNBC, Ms Conway said;

I think when the President-elect, who’s also the head of your party, tells you before he’s even inaugurated that he doesn’t wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone, and content.

During the debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump in early October, Trump told Hillary;

 if I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation

During one of his solo interview with CBS after he was elected, Donald Trump said;

I’m going to think about it,I feel that I want to focus on jobs, I want to focus on healthcare, I want to focus on the border and immigration and doing a really great immigration bill.

He said the Clintons did some bad things,” but that ultimately they were “good people”. “I don’t want to hurt them, I don’t want to hurt them,” he said. “They’re, they’re good people. I don’t want to hurt them.” 

Just ten days before election, James Comey, FBI Director shock voters when he said that the FBI would be re-opening investigation on Hillary Clinton private server, something Hillary had claimed was the cause of her loosing the election to business mogul, Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton has decided not to curl with books or her dogs, but instead stepped out after she lost the election to business mogul, Donald Trump. She was recently seen at the Charity gala for the Children’s Defence Fund in Washington ON Wednesday night.

She said in her speech; "I will admit, coming here tonight wasn’t the easiest thing for me, There have been a few times this past week where all I wanted to do was just to curl up with a good book and our dogs and never leave the house again"

                

She then quotes Children’s Defence Fund founder Marian Wright Edelman as inspiration for her to get “back on her feet” and “get to work.” 

Clinton added;

I know many of you are deeply disappointed about the results of the election, I am too, more than I can ever express.

 A lot of people have asked themselves whether America was the country we thought it was over this past week. 

The divisions laid bare by this election run deep. But please listen to me when I say this: America is worth it. Our children are worth it. Believe in our country, fight for our values, and never, ever give up.

There is trouble in paradise for the Clintons, days after Hillary Clinton lost the election to Business mogul, Donald Trump. According to Bill Clinton’s closest advisers who was with him in Bill's Little Rock penthouse, there was a shouting match between who was to blame for Hillary losing the election to Trump.

The story was revealed by bestselling author Ed Klein, who wrote the recent tension for MailOnline.

                    

According to the adviser, Hillary had blamed the election misfortune on FBI director, James Comey,after the director opened up on her private use of the Email server, something he claimed the agency found on Huma Abedin ex-husband, Anthony Weiner.

Bill Clinton rejected the claims and instead said Hillary campaign had turn deaf ears to the impact the weak economy is having on the working class voters. 

According to Klein;

Bill always campaigned as a guy who felt your pain, but Hillary came across as someone who was pissed off at her enemy [Trump], not someone who was reaching out and trying to make life better for the white working class.

As shouting match between the couple goes on, it was reported Bill Clinton was red and getting redder is aides are thinking he might have a heart attack. He was so angry he threw his phone off the roof of his penthouse.

Bill Clinton felt he was ignored by Hillary Clinton top advisers when he advised that they use the economy as a centrepiece for her campaign. He urged them to connect with people that have lost their jobs because of globalization and revolutions in technology.

According to the source;

Bill also said that many African Americans were deeply disappointed with the results of eight years of Obama.

Despite more and more government assistance, black weren't economically any better off, and black-on-black crime was destroying their communities. He said Hillary should have gone into the South Side of Chicago and condemned the out-of-control violence.
