The AP reports that Hillary Clinton received now-classified information about the Benghazi attacks on her private email server:

“Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton received information on her private email server about the deadly attack on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi that was classified Friday at the FBI’s request.

The email in question, forwarded to Clinton by her deputy chief of staff, relates to reports of arrests in Libya of possible suspects in the attack.

The information was not classified at the time the email was sent and was upgraded from unclassified to “secret” on Friday, according to State Department officials.”

Based on the Benghazi e-mails released today by the New York Times, a top foreign policy adviser called Hillary Clinton “the public face of the U.S. effort in Libya” and said Clinton had the “leadership/ownership/stewardship of this country’s Libya policy”. Despite being heavily engaged in the process to end Gaddafi’s rule in Libya, Clinton ultimately failed to execute a strategy for a post-Gaddafi Libya. One democratic Congresswoman, Tulsi Gabbard, said Clinton and Obama had “no after plan, there was no plan on what happens next” in Libya.

A new report from The New York Times reveals that Hillary Clinton was sending sensitive information, including the location of key State Department officials like Ambassador Chris Stevens, from her secret, private email server:

Although Hillary Clinton only sparingly answers questions from the press, below is a list of foreign policy questions that reporters could consider asking, should Clinton “ponder” a back-and-forth with the press:

1. Do you support legislation passed by both the Senate and the House that would provide Congressional review of a nuclear agreement with Iran?

2. With the recent fall of Ramadi to Islamic State and ongoing reports an Islamic State branch is active in Yemen, especially because of the Houthi conflict, what is your strategy to halt the terror group from making even further advances?

A new report by the Washington Examiner has found that nearly two-thirds of the Fortune 100 companies that donated to the Clinton also spent money lobbying the State Department:

A Washington Examiner analysis of Fortune 100 companies discovered donations to the Clinton Foundation were heavily concentrated among firms that also spent money swaying the State Department while Clinton ran the agency.

While exactly half of the corporations appeared to have lobbied the State Department between 2009 and 2012, according to lobbying disclosures from the Center for Responsive Politics, foundation records show 55 of the firms donated to the charity.

Roughly 65 percent of foundation donors among the Fortune 100 also spent money on lobbying the State Department. By contrast, just 31 percent of companies that declined to give to the Clinton Foundation from the same group also lobbied the agency.

It’s not like the Clintons have ever given voters a reason to doubt their honesty in the past, right?

During an event in Las Vegas today, Hillary Clinton tried to portray herself as an advocate for comprehensive immigration reform. 

Clinton said:

“I was personally very disappointed that, when I was a senator for eight years, we had a few chances to try to do more for DREAMers, do more for comprehensive immigration reform, and we were not successful.”

But the truth is, in 2007, Clinton voted for the Dorgan Amendment, or the so-called “poison pill,” that killed immigration reform efforts.
