A new book is claiming that former President Obama considered Hillary Clinton's mishandling of her email scandal a form of "political malpractice," reports the Charlotte Observer.

The book, titled, 'Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton's Doomed Campaign,' says about Obama, "He couldn't understand what possessed Hillary to set up the private e-mail server, and her handling of the scandal obfuscate, deny, and evade amounted to political malpractice."

However, the two authors, Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, also point out that Obama did try to show his support in the form of a pep talk as they were en route to their first campaign rally together in July 2016.

He reportedly told Hillary, "It's a four-month sprint to the end, and it will go quickly. It's hard and it's tiring. But this is a different stage than the primary." This was around the same time that FBI Director James Comey had announced that her use of a private email server had not broken any laws but was, in his words, "extremely careless."

Nevertheless, the controversy would continue to dog her throughout the remainder of the election.

According to the Washington Post, "She and her campaign are convinced that Comey was the pivotal factor and there is evidence to support that view." In late October, Comey announced that the investigation into Hillary's emails was possibly going to be renewed.

However, the publication also points out that "...the Comey episode doesn't address why the race in the reliably blue Rust Belt was so close to begin with or what Clinton could have done to alter it."

Ultimately, Clinton lost the election, and, as the book reveals, she not only congratulated Donald Trump on his victory but also apologized to Obama about her loss, reportedly telling him, "Mr. President, I'm sorry."

Shocking Claim: Clinton Aide Murdered In Russian ‘Hit’ To Cover Up Election Hacking – Radar Online

A young Hillary Clinton aide was gunned down in cold blood at the behest of Russian hackers because he knew too much!

Thats the shocking implication of a new six-month investigation into the sudden death of 27-year-old politico Seth Rich, The National ENQUIRER reports in a bombshell world exclusive.

It was a hit, Jack Burkman, a Washington, D.C., lawyer and GOP operative told The ENQUIRER after more than half a year digging into the case. Seth discovered the Russians hacked the DNC and he was killed to prevent him from going public with that information.

Rich, 27, was the Democratic National Committees Voter Expansion Data Director at the time of his death on July 10, 2016. Just days before, he had been promoted to work on Hillarys campaign in D.C.

But that bright future was snuffed out when he was shot to death around 4:15 am, just steps from the red brick home he shared with friends.

Police sources told The ENQUIRER that Rich was shot twice in the back by two still-unknown assailants, but they refused to reveal further details and even denied a request for an autopsy report. They also have refused to make public surveillance footage that captured Richs final moments.

The police line was that it was just an armed robbery gone bad, but when Rich was found, his wallet, credit cards, phone and watch were still on him. And neighbors told The ENQUIRER they havent even been contacted by police!

I dont know why they didnt knock on my door asking question, said Steven Matthews, 51, a government worker who heard the shots and lives on the same street. Theyre supposed to knock on everybodys door It seems like a political hit.

Meanwhile, Burkman has posted a $105,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. And its already yielded promising leads.

According to Burkman, a former CIA agent approached his team seven weeks ago with information about Richs death.

He told me Seth had discovered the Russian hacking and someone very high up in the Russian government ordered Seth to be eliminated. He was quite sure of this, Burkman said.

Burkman also told The ENQUIRER his team received two emails from two apparently separate people inside Russia who claimed they know exactly who in the Russian government ordered the hit.

Why Hillary Clinton Deserves Planned Parenthood’s Award – National Review

Planned Parenthood announced last week that it will honor former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton with the groups first-ever Champion of the Century award. The organization will host a number of events this year to commemorate the centennial year of its founding in October 1916. Among those events will be a gala 100 Years Strong: The Celebration of a Century held on May 2 in New York City.

According to Planned Parenthoods press release, the gala will honor Clinton for her 40 years of service to women and girls in this country. At the same event, the group will present its Champion of Change award to producer Shonda Rhimes for revolutionizing the way women and issues of reproductive health including safe, legal abortion are portrayed on television.

This refers to Rhimess work as creator and producer of the television show Scandal, which in 2015 featured a scene depicting the shows main character undergoing an onscreen abortion while the Christmas song Silent Night played in the background. (The abortion itself was not pictured graphically; the camera focused on the characters face as the procedure occurred.)

These two awards are merely the latest proof that Planned Parenthood is not, in fact, an innocent defender of womens rights. Nor is it a pro-choice organization that exists to give American women an array of health-care options. Planned Parenthood is an abortion corporation that seeks every possible opportunity to glorify abortion and deify the public figures who push for total access to government-funded abortion-on-demand.

Clinton who has already received Planned Parenthoods Margaret Sanger award, named after the groups eugenicist founder has done little of note throughout her long and unsuccessful political career to serve American women and children, but she has always been a prominent and staunch supporter of abortion. And the love goes both ways: Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards stumped for Clintons campaign across the country in 2016, and her organizations political-action arms donated around $38 million to Democratic candidates at all levels in the last election cycle.

In return for this support, Clinton as the Democratic nominee oversaw the horrifying decision to alter her partys platform, adopting the most pro-abortion policy stance the party has ever taken. The revised Democratic platform endorses the full repeal of the Hyde Amendment which bans the direct taxpayer funding of abortion and calls for the repeal of all federal and state policies that impede abortion in any way, including abortions through the last week of pregnancy In fact, in the final debate of the presidential election, Clinton categorically defended late-term abortion, using a disingenuous definition womens health to justify partial-birth procedures.

Neither Planned Parenthood nor its Champion of the Century is committed to protecting or serving women and girls. Though the group claims to offer women an array of health-care choices, it has grossly exaggerated its commitment to providing prenatal care, which in fact is almost entirely unavailable at its clinics. Planned Parenthood continues to assert that abortion is a mere 3 percent of its services, even though that inaccurate statistic has been debunked numerous times, including by left-leaning outlets such as Slate and the Washington Post.

The companys leadership has routinely and falsely claimed that its clinics offer mammograms, though they have never done so. The group provides less than 1 percent of the nations Pap tests and less than 2 percent of its breast exams and cancer screenings, while performing 325,000 abortions annually, about one-third of the abortions performed in the U.S. each year. Planned Parenthood clinics are outnumbered across the country by federally qualified health-care clinics by a ratio of 20 to 1, and these alternative clinics actually provide women an extensive array of health-care options.

Planned Parenthood was recently subject to a 15-month congressional investigation, which uncovered extensive evidence that the group has been involved in the illegal trafficking of the body parts of aborted babies, for which the group apparently received monetary compensation. It has been referred by Congress to both federal and local law-enforcement agencies for further investigation.

Meanwhile, as Planned Parenthood takes the time to plan its fancy gala and hand out unmerited awards, it has yet to produce an annual financial report for the 201516 fiscal year. This, while the group continues to accept half a billion dollars of taxpayer money from the federal government each year. Whats more, several reports indicate that some of the groups affiliates have engaged in possible Medicaid fraud to cover up use of this public funding to directly facilitate abortion procedures.

There is no doubt that Clinton richly deserves this award, as she has long been a public champion for Planned Parenthood, sanctioning the murder of thousands of children and forcing unwilling Americans to pay for it. But as information continues to surface about the abortion groups illegal activity and public deceptions, it becomes increasingly evident that neither Clinton nor Planned Parenthood is a true champion of women and children. One can only hope that, in the fullness of time, Planned Parenthoods disgracefully propped-up fortunes take the same disastrous turn as did Hillary Clintons presidential ambitions.
