    Hillary Clinton Is Discharged From Hospital After Blood Clot - The New... http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/03/us/politics/hillary-clinton-is-discha... http://nyti.ms/WlP7Dz POLITICS By DENISE GRADY and MARK LANDLER JAN. 2, 2013 Hillary Rodham Clinton, whose globe-trotting tour as secretary of state was abruptly halted last month by a series of health problems, was discharged from a New York hospital on Wednesday evening after several days of treatment for a blood clot in a vein in her head. The news of her release was the first welcome sign in a troubling month that grounded Mrs. Clinton — preventing her from answering questions in Congress about the State Department’s handling of the lethal attack on an American mission in Libya or being present when President Obama announced Senator John Kerry as his choice for her successor when she steps down as secretary of state. “Her medical team advised her that she is making good progress on all fronts, and they are confident she will make a full recovery,” Philippe Reines, a senior adviser to Mrs. Clinton, said in a statement. Mrs. Clinton, 65, was admitted to NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia hospital on Sunday after a scan discovered the blood clot. The scan was part of her follow-up care for a concussion she sustained more than two weeks earlier, when she fainted and fell, striking her head. According to the State Department, the fainting was caused by dehydration, brought on by a stomach virus. The concussion was diagnosed on Dec. 1 of 4 8/9/2016 11:01 PM Hillary Clinton Is Discharged From Hospital After Blood Clot - The New..

Office 1140 Connecticut Ave. NW, Suite 1150 Washington, D.C. 20036 Phone 202.249.7190 Fax 202.223.2683 MEMORANDUM FROM: Victoria Bassetti, Fellow, Brennan Center for Justice TO: Interested Parties DATE: April 11, 2018 RE: DOJ ORDER OF SUCCESSION If President Donald Trump wanted to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller he would have to get the Attorney General to do so. By law, only the Attorney General can fire Mueller. The President himself cannot do so. In the wake of Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ recusal from the matter, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has been the Acting Attorney General regarding Russian interference with the 2016 election and related matters. Rosenstein appointed Mueller as Special Counsel on May 17, 2017.1 He did so under his statutory authority to “specially appoint[]” an attorney to “conduct any kind of legal proceeding.” In addition, he indicated that Mueller would be bound by regulations governing Special Counsels. 2 Those regulations provide that only the Attorney General can only fire the Special Counsel for cause and must do so in writing. They provide: The Special Counsel may be disciplined or removed from office only by the personal action of the Attorney General. The Attorney General may remove a Special Counsel for misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interest, or for other good cause, including violation of Departmental policies. The Attorney General shall inform the Special Counsel in writing of the specific reason for his or her removal.3 In addition, since Mueller was appointed pursuant to a statutory provision, Supreme Court precedent holds that he can only be removed by the department head (i.e.

  • Hillary Clinton's Campaign Was Undone by a Clash of Personalities
    64 Hillary Clinton’s campaign was undone by a clash of personalities more toxic than anyone imagined.

  • Hillary Clinton Emails Take Long Path to Controversy
    http://nyti.ms/1gmYzIi POLITICS Hillary Clinton Emails Take Long Path to Controversy By SCOTT SHANE and MICHAEL S. SCHMIDT AUG. 8, 2015 WASHINGTON — Earlier this summer, the inspector general of the nation’s intelligence agencies contacted the longtime lawyer for Hillary and Bill Clinton with a pointed question. Classified information had been found in a small sample of 30,000 messages from the former secretary of state’s private email account. The inspector general, I. Charles McCullough III, wanted to know from the lawyer, David E. Kendall, where copies of the message collection might still be stored. Mr. Kendall’s answer, like so much in the story of the Clinton emails, pointed in an unexpected direction. The official communications of the nation’s 67th secretary of state, it turned out, were handled by a little Colorado I.T. company, Platte River Networks, previously best known for being honored in 2012 as Denver’s “small business of the year.” Last week, F.B.I. agents showed up at Platte River’s modest brick building, opposite a candy factory. Now that government secrets had been found in Mrs. Clinton’s email, the agents wanted to know about the company’s security measures. Whether Americans believe Mrs. Clinton’s decision to use only a private email account for her public business is a troubling scandal well worth an F.B.I. inquiry, a pragmatic move blown out of proportion by Republican enemies, or something in between, may depend more on their partisan leanings than the facts of the affair itself. But the email account and its confusing reverberations have become a significant early chapter in the 2016 presidential race and a new stroke in the portrait of the Democrats’ leading candidate.

Note the inclusion of documentary evidence dating back to 1994 in correspondence with James M. Rockefeller and Dr. Glenn Olds. • E-mail from me to Governor Jeb Bush and President G.W. Bush confirming a March 20, 2005 death threat directed at Mr. Rockefeller in Miami. Based on the repetitive behavior patterns chronicled in the course of two^ye_ars of full- time_research, I am ccmfid_ent we can assist Mr, A^nanjn identifyin^g those who staged hjs_sonjo catalzye an incident .at this particular _time. Research uncovered numerous situations where pro-Israeli operatives have "taken position on" children and siblings of prominent or well-to-do people, often at a very young age. The targeting of Mr. Rockefeller (age 53) dates back at least to age six and perhaps earlier. Please ensure that Mr. Annan schedules time ASAP for a confidential discussion with Mr. Rockefeller and I. Fast-emerging fact patterns suggest that the Israelis are regrouping for yet another initiative as part of their commitment to wage way by way of deception, a key reason they first need to discredit the U.N.
