The Defense Rests. Brian Fallon: "She is never running for office again."

Time to get off that treadmill and onto the mid-term train.

Brian Fallon rebukes Fox News for aggressive coverage of Hillary Clinton even though 'she won't run for office again'

by Josh Siegel | Jul 20, 2017, 7:54 PM



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.

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.

Hillary Clinton in the News

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.

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.

Donald Trump’s bogus claim that millions of people voted illegally for Hillary Clinton

By Glenn Kessler
November 27, 2016


President-elect Donald Trump. (Associated Press)
“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?

Gotta love Victoria Brownworth's great graphic with this tweet!
Finally, in post-election mode, Hillary added her latest Twitter follow.

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.

Food for Thought: Taco Trucks on Every Corner! YES!

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!




There are T-shirts and many pictures of beautiful tacos.  Even fusion tacos!




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.

Hillary's Brooklyn HQ joined in - all fired up!

The twitterstorm was quickly usurped by the whole Hillary 2016 movement where convoys of taco trucks came to represent what most saw as positive all the way around, for the country and the economy.




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.



¡Sí se puede! We are so there!  As opposed to this at Beau's (apparently a sandwich tractor).

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 >>>>

From #HillaryForAmerica: About those emails...

A big update about Hillary's emails

Friend --
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
Share this article far and wide:
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!

The New York Times: Fickle on Hillary Clinton

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.

On Facebook on Monday,  senior campaign spokesperson Karen Finney shared an article from Politico exposing a deal between the New York Times and Peter Schweizer,   author of a soon-to-be published book, Clinton Cash, affording the Times early access to his so-called "research."
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 Times over 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.

Donations to the Clinton Foundation, and a Russian Uranium Takeover By WILSON ANDREWS APRIL 22, 2015

Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation as Russians Pressed for Control of Uranium Company By JO BECKER and MIKE McINTIREAPRIL 23, 2015

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.

Indeed, Hillary will be delivering the keynote speech at the event this evening.  All of the summit events are being live-streamed here at a site sponsored by the New York Times.  Hillary has always been a huge draw and will certainly receive a joyous and celebratory welcome when she takes the stage at the David H. Koch Theater tonight.

By the way, don't miss Helen Mirren there this afternoon, either!  Always a treat!

Meanwhile, the New York Times needs to integrate its shattered personality regarding Hillary, the Clintons, and their admirable foundation.

‘Clinton Cash’ & NYT Fail to Prove Any Connection Between Hillary Clinton & Russian Purchase of Uranium Assets

Brian Fallon on

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.
