Newly released FBI documents detailing the bureau’s investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails reveal the aide who would likely follow her into the White House as chief counsel was central to a cover-up of evidence sought by investigators.

Yet despite signs Clinton’s former chief of staff Cheryl Mills obstructed efforts by investigators to obtain Clinton’s emails, the FBI invited Mills to attend Hillary’s interview at FBI headquarters as one of her lawyers. “It’s absolutely outrageous,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said. “The FBI saw massive document destruction and clear intent to withhold material evidence,” he added, “and they just ignored that obstruction, and even let her sit in on the interview.”(nypost.com)…[+]

Two people were shot to death and three others wounded early Monday at the bustling J’Ouvert carnival celebrating Caribbean culture in Brooklyn — sparking pandemonium hours before the city’s annual West Indian Day Parade. At least five people were shot and one person was stabbed despite a heavy police presence to ensure safety during the raucous event, which has been routinely marred by violence. Last year, an aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo was killed by a stray bullet.(nypost.com)…[+]

If you believe what Hillary Clinton recently told FBI investigators, classified State Department information wound up on an unsecured e-mail system in her New York home after aide Huma Abedin took it upon herself in 2009 to task a young campaign functionary to slip into the basement and, without her knowing it, set up a private e-mail server to run as a parallel system.

This was all done without her authorization, Clinton claimed, and for reasons unbeknown to her. The FBI, which refused to file charges against Clinton, apparently bought the far-fetched alibi — hook, line and server.(nypost.com)…[+]

State police in Chattanooga, Tennessee, have been known to patrol in a tractor-trailer so they can sit up high and spot drivers texting behind the wheel.

In Bethesda, Maryland, a police officer disguised himself as a homeless man, stood near a busy intersection and radioed ahead to officers down the road about texting drivers. In two hours last October, police gave out 56 tickets.

And in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, south of Boston, an officer regularly tools around town on his bicycle, pedals up to drivers at stoplights and hands them $105 tickets.(nypost.com)…[+]

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — New Jersey police said a suspect was fatally shot in an exchange of gunfire outside an Atlantic City casino early Saturday and one police officer was seriously wounded. Atlantic City police Chief Henry White said the shooting happened around 4 a.m. after officers stopped a car with three men near a parking garage of Caesars casino.

White said at least one of the men in the car opened fire. Police were still looking for two other suspects and closed streets in the area. “At this point I don’t know what the reason for the initial stop was,” White said at an early-morning news conference. “But as the officers were getting out of the car, the males opened fire on our officers, striking one.”(nypost.com)…[+]
