1. Abel Danger (AD) can show Mexican authorities and Donald Trump how to stop the Clinton Foundation's corruption of government programs by suing its pay-to-play donors' responsible for the associated, wrongful deaths of thousands of their fellow citizens.
2. AD claims that Hillary Clinton and her associate at State, Andrew J. Shapiro put Serco's 8(a) agents into the Defense Ammunition Center to run the 'fast and furious' gun-walking program and use the weapons to control drug shipments across the U.S.-Mexican border.
3. AD claims that in 2008, Clinton aides had USIS dump its kill-list files onto servers linking the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with HSBC, Serco's drug-running banker headquartered in London, and began the elimination of targets with military missions in Zulu time.

"BREAKING: NEW EVIDENCE SHOWS HILLARY CLINTON MASTERMINDED 'FAST AND FURIOUS'
OCTOBER 11, 2011

by Antony Martin Examiner.com October 11, 2011 Last week it was reported that the State Department and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were deeply involved in the scandal known as Operation Fast and Furious, or Project Gunwalker. Today, however, new evidence has surfaced indicating that not only was Hillary deeply involved in the scandal but was one of the masterminds behind it.
According to investigative citizen journalist Mike Vanderboegh, sources close to the development of the Gunwalker scheme state that early on, Hillary and her trusted associated at State, Andrew J. Shapiro, devised at least part of the framework of what would later become Operation Fast and Furious. It was Shapiro who first described the details of the proposed scheme early in 2009 just after the Obama Administration took office."

"Trump to meet with Mexico President Peña Nieto ahead of immigration speech
by Steph Solis, USA TODAY
10:22 a.m. EDT August 31, 2016
Donald Trump's immigration beliefs: In his own words Donald Trump has had a lot to say about immigration reform during his presidential campaign. Here are some of his most controversial statements in the last year.
USA TODAY NETWORK
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said he has accepted an invitation to meet with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on Wednesday, hours before he is expected to deliver a key speech on immigration.
Following multiple reports about his trip, Trump confirmed on Twitter he accepted the invitation, which the president made last week to both candidates:
Trump tweeted before speaking in Everett, Wash., after The Washington Post, Reformaand other newspapers reported word of the scheduled meeting.
Trump did not say where they are meeting, though Pena Nieto suggested the gathering would be on his side of the border.
Follow Enrique Peña Nieto
✔@EPN
Invité a México a los candidatos a la Presidencia de EEUU, para conversar sobre la relación bilateral. Mañana recibo a Donald Trump.
The meeting falls on the same day that Trump says he will deliver a "major" immigration speech in Arizona (that's scheduled for 9 p.m. ET in Phoenix), a week after he suggested he was "softening" his immigration approach.
Immigration is considered Trump's signature platform, from his promise to build the wall to his controversial, but wavering stance on what he would do with the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country. Trump has said in interviews that despite his "softening" approach, he still intends to have the wall built at the U.S.-Mexico border. He has suggested he won't use detention camps.
Peña Nieto has been one of Trump's harsher critics. He has compared the GOP presidential nominee to dictators such as Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
"There have been episodes in the history of humanity, unfortunately, where these expressions, this strident rhetoric has only really been (a) very fateful stage in the history of mankind," he told the Excelsior newspaper. "That's how Mussolini got in, that's how Hitler got in."
It's worth noting that Peña Nieto has a 23% approval rating in a survey published earlier this month by the Reforma — the lowest any Mexican president has received since the paper started conducting the poll 21 years ago (the poll had a margin of error of 3 percentage points). And, yes, he is the same president who was accused of plagiarizing his university thesis. The day after his meeting with Trump, Peña Nieto is expected to deliver his annual written report to Congress on Thursday.
The Clinton campaign questioned the Trump campaign's intentions behind his meeting in a statement issued Tuesday night via Twitter.
"From the first days of his campaign, Donald Trump has painted Mexicans as 'rapists' and criminals and has promised to deport 16 million people, including children and U.S. citizens," the campaign stated. "He has said we should force Mexico to pay for his giant border wall. He has said we should ban remittances to families in Mexico if Mexico doesn't pay up. What ultimately matters is what Donald Trump says to voters in Arizona, not Mexico, and whether he remains committed to the splitting up of families and deportation of millions." Some of Trump's high-profile backers have said his position remains consistent.
"Nothing has changed about Donald Trump's position on dealing with illegal immigration," Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Trump's running mate, said on CNN Sunday, adding that the real estate mogul's previous proposal for a deportation force "was a mechanism, not a policy."

JUN 29, 2015
FEATURED ARTICLES
Updated: July 10, 2015 – 9:00 AM PST The United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has recently been in the news for two separate breaches that may have compromised the information of as many as 18 million former, current and prospective federal employees. Significantly, the story of these two intrusions stretches back to as early as spring of last year. The timeline below summarizes the events that are known to have been associated with these breaches thus far.
March 2014
Chinese hackers infiltrate the OPM's computer systems, presumably to collect information on federal employees who had applied for top security clearance in the past. The agency informs federal, state, and local government officials that they were able to thwart the attack using intrusion detection systems (IDS) installed on its network, which leads the Obama administration to believe that no personally identifiable information was compromised by the incident. No mention of the attack is therefore made to the public.
June 2014
The United States Investigation Services (USIS) discloses a breach of 25,000 government employees' personal information to the OPM and sends out a memo on June 17 notifying 15 large federal agencies of the intrusion. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contacts the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, which launches an investigation into the scope and nature of the breach. In the meantime, the OPM severs its contracts with USIS, which leads the contractor to lay off 2,500 employees by October. It has since been revealed that this incident affecting USIS likely occurred at around the same time as the OPM breach.
July 9, 2014
The New York Times runs an article that reveals the OPM attack for the first time to the American public. On that same day, the agency sends an email to its employees informing them of the intrusion into its networks back in March and advising that they remain vigilant with regards to future computer threats.
August 6, 2014
Multiple news outlets report on the USIS June breach, with the contractor reportedly having stated that the intrusion "has all the markings of a state-sponsored attack." By this time, the DHS has also suspended all contracts with the USIS, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations has commenced an investigation into the incident."
"The ICE Foundation is governed by an executive committee. The board of directors is responsible for crafting programming and support strategies. … Kristine Marcy Board Director The National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) Kristine M. Marcy served as President and CEO of the National Academy of Public Administration, a non-profit organization chartered by Congress and dedicated to improving Government from January 2011 to June 30, 2011 at the unanimous request of the Board of Directors. Ms. Marcy is a retired federal executive with over 30 years of experience in ten federal departments and agencies including Small Business Administration, Department of Justice Immigration and Naturalization Service, DOJ U.S. Marshals Service, and DOJ Office of the Deputy Attorney General. During her career, Ms. Marcy blended deep technical knowledge with extensive hands-on experience to assist agencies in both operational and leadership positions. Post retirement, Ms. Marcy was an executive consultant for McConnell International, a Government Relations consulting firm, and brought her considerable network of contacts and her direct knowledge of many US federal agencies to help private sector clients develop business strategies."

He did not want to go into details but mentioned that a decoy plane was among the ploys used to guard against possible attempts by supporters to free the suspects. Federal officials have always been circumspect about the fine points of prisoner movement. But ConAir soon could gain a higher public profile with the planned release in June of a movie by the same name. In the Disney film, Nicolas Cage plays a hapless prisoner who wanders into a hijack plot aboard a Marshals Service plane carrying a group of high-security inmates. The Hollywood marshals rough up some of the prisoners, and the plane crashes, leaving the real Marshals Service frowning on the silver screen's invention, said Kristine Marcy, a top official in charge of detentions [and decoy contract hits]. "We don't beat up our prisoners, and our planes certainly don't crash," Marcy said on a recent trip to San Diego, where she was trying to find more jail space for federal prisoners.""

BYRON YORK (@BYRONYORK) • 8/25/16 11:06 PM
While Hillary Clinton was preparing to deliver a big speech portraying Donald Trump as a racist, a figure from Clinton's recent unhappy past — Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House Select Committee on Benghazi — added a new word to the 25-year vocabulary of Clinton scandals: BleachBit.
That is the name of a publicly-available utility used to delete material from a computer's hard disk. And it's not just for casual, quickie deletes of junk mail. It's for when a user really wants to destroy material on a computer so that no one will be able to recover it.
According to Gowdy, BleachBit is what Clinton and her legal team used, or at least part of what her team used, to destroy the 30,000 or so emails on her secret system that she deemed "personal" from her years as secretary of state. On Thursday, after revelations that the FBI had perhaps worked its way around BleachBit to discover an additional 14,900 emails that Clinton did not hand over, Gowdy went on Fox News to discuss both that development and the FBI documents that underlay the Justice Department's decision not to prosecute Clinton for mishandling classified information.
The public should be allowed to see those currently classified FBI documents, Gowdy said, adding that he has reviewed them all. If people were allowed to read the papers, Gowdy explained, they might well come away with questions about the wisdom of the FBI's decision.
"I read every word of all of the witness interviews," Gowdy told Fox. "My takeaway was this: Remember James Comey said [Clinton] was not indicted because he didn't have sufficient evidence on the issue of intent. I didn't see any questions on the issue of intent."
And then there were those deleted emails. First, it's long been known that Clinton and her lawyers — and no independent arbiter — decided what to hand over and what to destroy. Clinton famously explained that she destroyed only the emails that dealt with personal issues, like yoga or her daughter Chelsea's wedding. But in light of new revelations about the close relationship between Clinton's Secretary of State office and the Clinton Foundation, a question gaining urgency in recent days is whether Clinton destroyed foundation-related emails on the grounds that they were "personal."
"That's the $100 million question," Gowdy told Fox's Martha MacCallum. "I hope somebody in your line of work will ask [Clinton]: Did you consider foundation emails to be personal or work r elated? I have yet to see a single foundation email produced by the State Department that was sent by her." Gowdy went on to reveal a few details about how Clinton destroyed the documents she did not want anyone to see. "If she considered them to be personal, then she and her lawyers had those emails deleted," Gowdy said. "They didn't just push the delete button. They had them deleted where even God can't read them."
"They were using something called BleachBit," Gowdy continued. "You don't use BleachBit for yoga emails or for bridesmaid's emails. When you're using BleachBit, it is something you really do not want the world to see." Amid growing controversy over the Clinton Foundation, possible conflicts of interest, and allegations of access and pay-to-play, Gowdy's words served to return the focus to what the New York Times' Mark Landler recently called the "original sin" of the Clinton email affair: Clinton took it upon herself to decide which of her emails as Secretary of State would be preserved, and which would be destroyed.
"There wasn't an independent authority that got to make that decision," Landler said on NPR's "Diane Rehm Show" Wednesday. "And by the time we found out about it, those emails were gone."
With the help of BleachBit, we now know.
"Opened in 1994 as the successor to the Transitional Immigrant Visa Processing Center in Rosslyn, Va., the NVC centralizes all immigrant visa pre-processing and appointment scheduling for overseas posts. The NVC collects paperwork and fees before forwarding a case, ready for adjudication, to the responsible post.
The center also handles immigrant and fiancé visa petitions, and while it does not adjudicate visa applications, it provides technical assistance and support to visa-adjudicating consular officials overseas.
Only two Foreign Service officers, the director and deputy director, work at the center, along with just five Civil Service employees. They work with almost 500 contract employees doing preprocessing of visas, making the center one of the largest employers in the Portsmouth area.
The contractor, Serco, Inc., has worked with the NVC since its inception and with the Department for almost 18 years.
The NVC houses more than 2.6 million immigrant visa files, receives almost two million pieces of mail per year and received more than half a million petitions from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) in 2011. Its file rooms' high-density shelves are stacked floor-to-ceiling with files, each a collection of someone’s hopes and dreams and each requiring proper handling. ….
The NVC also preprocesses the chief of mission (COM) application required for the filing of a petition for a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV). Such visas, for foreign nationals who have performed services for the U.S. government in Iraq and Afghanistan, require COM concurrence before the applicant can file a petition with USCIS. The NVC collects the requisite documents from such applicants and, when complete, forwards the package to the U.S. embassies in Baghdad or Kabul for COM approval"
"Sued for Fraud by DOJ, Security Co That Cleared Snowden Works for U.S. Immigration
APRIL 08, 2014
The federal contractor sued by the Justice Department for failing to adequately conduct government security clearances—including NSA leaker Edward Snowden—is processing sensitive immigration applications for the Obama administration.
This astounding information comes from a high-ranking government source with detailed knowledge of the arrangement. Though it's being investigated by the Department of Justice (DOJ) for fraud, United States Investigations Services (USIS), has been taking over a lot of administrative processing of immigration benefit applications, the inside source told Judicial Watch. The scandal-plagued company is also handling sensitive immigration files, despite its well-documented transgressions.
It's preposterous that a company under fraud investigation is still allowed to handle sensitive government applications, JW's source logically points out. Here's how it happens; Most of USIS's executives are retired officials who worked for the influential Senior Executive Service at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the agency that operates and oversees nearly every government activity in dozens of federal agencies. Their connections help them land federal contracts, JW's source says, and once they land the lucrative deals they convince the government to let them do their own quality assurance so they cut corners.
The serious corner cutting came to light after Snowden, a National Security Administration contractor, divulged thousands of classified documents to the media. USIS, which handles the bulk of background checks for government security clearances, had conducted Snowden's background check as well as the clearance for Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis. Since the two breaches occurred, former USIS employees have come forward accusing the company of unrealistic deadlines and workloads, dumping cases and producing incomplete background checks to meet revenue goals.
As part of its fraud probe of USIS, which is based in Falls Church, Virginia, the DOJ filed a lawsuit in federal court earlier this year accusing the contractor of failing to adequately conduct security checks in 40% of the cases it handled for the government. USIS submitted at least 665,000 incomplete background checks to OPM, the agency that officially contracts firms to do government work, the complaint says. It further alleges that USIS dumped and flushed cases, falsely representing them as completed, to maximize the company's revenues and profits.
Months before it filed the complaint, the DOJ announced that it had launched an investigation of USIS, which the agency revealed had been contracted by the U.S. government since 1996 to perform background investigations on individuals seeking employment with various federal agencies. In the announcement a high-ranking federal prosecutor said USIS's shortcuts would not be tolerated and that the DOJ would take action against those who charge taxpayers for services they failed to provide, "services that could place our country's security at risk."
The top federal prosecutor in the Alabama district where the DOJ filed the USIS lawsuit added that "the increase in foreign and domestic terrorism places an increased responsibility on our government to ensure that unsuitable individuals are prohibited from government employment." That means thorough, appropriate and accurate background checks are essential in the employment of government personnel, the assistant U.S. Attorney said. It appears from the written announcement that the feds get it, but their actions (letting a tainted company handle sensitive immigration files) tell a different story."

"FBI: 'Hostile Actors' Likely Hacked Clinton Email Secrets
Comey recommends not prosecuting presumed Democratic nominee

An extensive FBI investigation found evidence that foreign government hackers accessed private emails sent by former secretary of state Hillary Clinton but no direct evidence spies hacked into the several unsecure servers she used.
FBI Director James Comey revealed Tuesday the 11-month probe into Clinton’s private email servers uncovered negligent handling of very sensitive classified information that was placed on several unsecure servers between 2009 and 2013, when Clinton served as secretary of state.
In an unusual public announcement, Comey outlined findings that included discovery of highly classified information sent and received on Clinton’s private email servers, and signs that "hostile actors" gained access to email accounts of people who were sharing emails with Clinton."
