Okay, so, I wasn't going to submit these here because I've really had quite enough of politics for the year but it seems the mainstream media are having an absolute blackout on anything critical of Hillary, to the point of CNN has both coincidentally lost a sitting congressman's satellite feed immediately after mentioning wikileaks and tried to tell their viewers that even reading the wikileaks emails is illegal.

These two videos by Project Veritas Action, apparently with more to come, are the result of a year or so of actual investigative journalism and deserve coverage somewhere though. I don't personally care at all if you like Hillary or not but it's always better to know the truth than to stick your head in the sand, so here they are.

The first part in the series is titled Clinton Campaign and DNC Incite Violence at Trump Rallies. It basically shows precisely what it says it does. Hidden cameras capture Scott Foval of Americans United for Change not so much admitting as bragging that they have operatives in numerous major cities that are actually trained in how best to incite violence at Trump rallies.

The second part of the series is again aptly titled Mass Voter Fraud. In this video Scott Foval is again captured going into minute detail on how not only go commit mass voter fraud but how to get away with it.

Scott Foval and Robert Creamer (also in the videos) are currently unemployed as a result of these videos. Whether Mrs. Clinton should be as well, that's for you to decide.

  Benghazi was SUCH a big deal, that Republicans investigated her over and over again and couldn't find ANYTHING to pin on her! WOW! That's HUGE! Even the Republicans are in on the conspiracy!

  Things can be reprehensible without being crimes. She blew off the ambassador's request for additional security, she was part of the decision making process that resulted in no official go ahead for a rescue attempt, she lied repeated directly and by proxy through her subordinate, UN Ambassador Susan Rice about the cause of the attacks (spinning the narrative that the attacks were spontaneously caused by a YouTube video was convenient for Obama's reelection in a few weeks) while privately admitted to others that the attacks were a planned terrorist attack, and she asked "What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?" while being grilled during a Congressional hearing about why the administration supposedly couldn't ask survivors of the attacks what happened. But what of that list was an actual crime?

  Yeah - remember the wench developed a convenient blood clot in her brain to explain why she couldn't remember stuff. Her plausible deniability was wearing thin, so she had a blood clot. Wow.
