(PRIMER) WHAT IS THE URANIUM ONE SCANDAL? 


Former prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy is giving us the primer on the Uranium One scandal. Commentary added by @Imperator_Rex.
Not only the Clintons are implicated in a uranium deal with the Russians that compromised national-security interests. Let’s put the Uranium One scandal in perspective: The cool half-million bucks the Putin regime funneled to Bill Clinton was five times the amount it spent on those Facebook ads — the ones the media-Democrat complex ludicrously suggests swung the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump.  (...) the staggering $500,000 payday from a Kremlin-tied Russian bank for a single speech was part of a multi-million-dollar influence-peddling scheme to enrich the former president and his wife, then–secretary of state Hillary Clinton. At the time, Russia was plotting — successfully — to secure U.S. government approval for its acquisition of Uranium One, and with it, tens of billions of dollars in U.S. uranium reserves. 
Here’s the kicker: The Uranium One scandal is not only, or even principally, a Clinton scandal. It is an Obama-administration scandal. The Clintons were just doing what the Clintons do: cashing in on their “public service.” The Obama administration, with Secretary Clinton at the forefront but hardly alone, was knowingly compromising American national-security interests. The administration green-lighted the transfer of control over one-fifth of American uranium-mining capacity to Russia, a hostile regime — and specifically to Russia’s state-controlled nuclear-energy conglomerate, Rosatom. Worse, at the time the administration approved the transfer, it knew that Rosatom’s American subsidiary was engaged in a lucrative racketeering enterprise that had already committed felony extortion, fraud, and money-laundering offenses. (More)

Remember, Putin's strategy was to gain control of the domestic US uranium market. He did this via Rosatom's acquisition of U1 & by a system of kickbacks, bribery & extortion within the US uranium market via a company called 'Tenam'. Tenam is owned by Tenex, which is owned by Rosatom. Tenex was formed in the 1990s, when the US government was granted the rights by Moscow to purchase uranium from Russia's depleted warheads. Tenam was based in Maryland. So - Putin was given access to (i) US uranium reserves & (ii) the domestic uranium market. He could bring US uranium into Russia, or sell US uranium worldwide. 
The Obama administration KNEW about this the whole time. We know this because the FBI had been watching Tenam via a tip off. Congress & CFIUS were NOT informed of this as they considered the U1 deal, approved in October 2010. They were NOT informed of the $2.35 million that had flowed from U1 to the Clinton Foundation. The deal was approved in Oct 2010 & Putin was handed the keys to the uranium kingdom. Had Obama & HRC disclosed everything they knew, there's no way this deal would have been approved. The suggestions she didn't know is a LIE. She knew full well what Bill was up to, because she'd seen it done before - in Khazakstan. Also as the #1 US official in charge of the Russia-US reset, she MUST have been aware of Putin's objectives. One word at CFIUS or from her as SoS and the deal would have been nixed. She stayed silent the whole time. As did Obama, Lynch & Mueller. Why? They were DRUNK on power & certain they'd never lose it. In other words, like most crooks - they thought they'd get away with it. nd Putin had Obama & the Clintons totally compromised. All this time, he'd also been infiltrating Hillary's team with a sophisticated spy network. I've no doubt they were able to gain access to highly classified material from Clinton & Co. So there you have it. Russian collusion with the Clintons & naive Obama compromised, with an American public hoodwinked. Putin able to control, buy & sell US uranium for whatever strategic interest he liked. All aimed at weakening the USA. And at the centre of it all, Hillary & Bill Clinton. And their rotten Foundation. And guess what? Trump KNOWS & has set these suckers up, including Mueller & Rosenstein. They are going DOWN. Bigly. Heads MUST roll. The scandal is staggering, far greater than anything we have seen in US history. uckle up, folks. The storm is coming.

RUSSIAN COLLUSION INVOLVES OBAMA DOJ AND FBI


John Solomon of Circa News writing for The Hill reported on Tuesday that the FBI uncovered a Russian bribery, extortion and money laundering scheme in 2009 to seize control over the U.S. energy market. The FBI sat on the investigation for four years while two deals went through with Russia doing exactly what Putin wanted. One of those deals was the sale of the U.S. uranium mine and with it, 20% of U.S. uranium.

The other deal gave Russia leverage over the U.S. energy market. The DoJ and the FBI were fully involved, including Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, Bob Mueller, James Comey, Rod Rosenstein, the Clintons, and others. The investigation was supervised by then-U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein, the current Deputy Attorney General, and then-Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who is now the deputy FBI director.

Rosenstein and Mueller also sat on the CFIUS committee that approved the sale of 20% of US uranium reserves to Russia despite knowing Russia had bribed the Clintons for the illicit sale. They did not notify anyone of the investigation, including Ron Hosko, the assistant FBI director in charge of criminal cases and Rep. Mike Rodgers, who chaired the House Intelligence Committee during the time the FBI probe was being conducted. They covered it up. (More



⏩ An American businessman who worked for years undercover as an FBI confidential witness was blocked by the Obama Justice Department from telling Congress about conversations and transactions he witnessed related to the Russian nuclear industry's efforts to win favor with Bill and Hillary Clinton and influence Obama administration decisions, his lawyer tells The Hill.

Attorney Victoria Toensing, a former Reagan Justice Department official and former chief counsel of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday she is working with members of Congress to see if they can get the Trump Justice Department or the FBI to free her client to talk to lawmakers. “All of the information about this corruption has not come out,” she said in an interview Tuesday. “And so my client, the same part of my client that made him go into the FBI in the first place, says, 'This is wrong. What should I do about it?'” (More)


⏩ Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley asked the attorney of a former FBI informant Wednesday to allow her client to testify before his committee regarding the FBI's investigation regarding kickbacks and bribery by the Russian state controlled nuclear company that was approved to purchase twenty percent of United States uranium supply in 2010, Circa has learned.

In a formal letter, Grassley, an Iowa Republican, asked Victoria Toensing, the lawyer representing the former FBI informant, to allow her client, who says he worked as a voluntary informant for the FBI, to be allowed to testify about the "crucial" eyewitness testimony he provided to the FBI regarding members of the Russian subsidiary and other connected players from 2009 until the FBI's prosecution of the defendants in 2014.

Democrat disinformation

While the mainstream news media hunts for evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, the public record shows that Democrats have willfully used Moscow disinformation to influence the presidential election against Donald Trump and attack his administration. The disinformation came in the form of a Russian-fed dossier written by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele. It contains a series of unverified criminal charges against Mr. Trump’s campaign aides, such as coordinating Moscow’s hacking of Democratic Party computers. Some Democrats have widely circulated the discredited information. Mr. Steele was paid by the Democrat-funded opposition research firm Fusion GPS with money from a Hillary Clinton backer. Fusion GPS distributed the dossier among Democrats and journalists. The information fell into the hands of the FBI, which used it in part to investigate Mr. Trump’s campaign aides. Mr. Steele makes clear that his unproven charges came almost exclusively from sources linked to the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He identified his sources as “a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure,” a former “top level Russian intelligence officer active inside the Kremlin,” a “senior Kremlin official” and a “senior Russian government official.” (More)

(EXPLOSIVE) THE REAL RUSSIAN COLLUSION



Indictment Affidavit by M Mali on Scribd

UPDATE: Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange and journalists Sara Carter and Sean Hannity last night promised explosive breaking news later today. Could it be about the controversial Uranium One deal with Russia? The FBI has been investigating the Russians funneling millions to the Clinton Foundation to sweeten the uranium deal since 2009! Who's "colluding" now?(More)

The Obama administration's decision giving Moscow control of a large swath of American uranium, has been a source of political controversy since 2015. That's when conservative author Peter Schweitzer and The New York Times documented how Bill Clinton collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in Russian speaking fees and his charitable foundation collected millions in donations from parties interested in the deal while Hillary Clinton presided on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. 
The Obama administration and the Clintons defended their actions at the time, insisting there was no evidence that any Russians or donors engaged in wrongdoing and there was no national security reason for any member of the committee to oppose the Uranium One deal. But FBI, Energy Department and court documents reviewed by The Hill show the FBI in fact had gathered substantial evidence well before the committee's decision that Vadim Mikerin - the main Russian overseeing Putin's nuclear expansion inside the United States - was engaged in wrongdoing starting in 2009.
Before the Obama administration approved a controversial deal in 2010 giving Moscow control of a large swath of American uranium, the FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin's atomic energy business inside the United States, according to government documents and interviews. 
Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show. They also obtained an eyewitness account - backed by documents - indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton's charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill. 
The racketeering scheme was conducted "with the consent of higher level officials" in Russia who "shared the proceeds" from the kickbacks, one agent declared in an affidavit years later. Rather than bring immediate charges in 2010, however, the Department of Justice (DOJ) continued investigating the matter for nearly four more years, essentially leaving the American public and Congress in the dark about Russian nuclear corruption on U.S. soil during a period when the Obama administration made two major decisions benefitting Putin's commercial nuclear ambitions.

CLINTON GLOBAL INITIATIVE SHUTS DOWN


In a "mass layoff" event reported late last week by the Department of Labor, the Clinton Foundation announced it would lay off some 22 employees at the Clinton Global Initiative, which attained notoriety during the John Podesta leaks, when the various details of the fallout between between CGI head Doug Band and Chelsea Clinton were revealed; it also emerged that long-time Bill Clinton friend Band was soliciting donations for Clinton through his PR firm, Teneo in an sordid example of "pay for play" which most of the mainstream media refused to cover, especially after Band emailed Podesta "If this story gets out, we are screwed." Filed as mandated by the Department of Labor's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN notice, on January 12, the Clinton Foundation's Veronika Shiroka advised the DOL that as part of a "Plant Layoff" it would layoff 22 workers on April 15, with reason for the dislocation stated as "Discontinuation of the Clinton Global Initiative."  (More)

TRUMP NOT INTERFERING IN CLINTON PROBE


President-elect Donald Trump will not pursue an investigation into Hillary Clinton, Kellyanne Conway said today in "Morning Joe." In a meeting with the New York Times, Trump said he doesn't feel strongly about going after Clinton, stressing that he wants to contribute to Hillary's healing process. He's basically saying that he will not unduly influence the FBI or the DoJ in the matter.

SOURCES: FORMER CLINTON FOUNDATION CEO IN PROTECTIVE CUSTODY


Despite the FBI halting for now its investigation if Hillary is implated in the Weiner case (although the fact that classified information was found on his laptop, is a no brainer!), a number of other investigations are still active, among them into the Clinton Foundation. The first item may look like a conspiracy, it is very HUGE, if true. Scroll down to Oct. 25.

Last week, we reported the disappearance of former CEO of the Clinton Foundation Eric Braverman. Intel provided suggested that he fled the country fearing for his life, seeking asylum in Russia. That was nine days ago, and there has still been no word from (or sightings of) Eric Braverman. However, a new source within the intelligence community suggests that was misinformation intentionally spread through social media by several sources, and in fact, he is being held in protective custody by the FBI in exchange for his testimony against Hillary Clinton.  (More

The inner workings of a mysterious off-the-books arm of the Clinton Foundation were partially revealed in the hacked emails of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. The little-known Haiti Development Fund, an LLC incorporated in Delaware in August 2010, was created by the Clinton Foundation with an initial endowment of $20 million from shady Canadian mining mogul Frank Giustra and Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. The Fund was supposed to supply desperately needed seed money to Haitian entrepreneurs after an earthquake devastated the country in January 2010. But The Post found only one project that it funded with a fraction of the start-up cash. Since the Fund is incorporated as a private entity and not a non-profit, it is not subject to the same disclosure rules as a public charity. And the Clinton Foundation never disclosed the Fund as a “related entity” on its tax filings as required by IRS rules. It was only after the Clinton Foundation, under mounting scrutiny and media pressure, “voluntarily” decided to refile five years’ worth of tax returns in 2015 that the Fund appears on the forms.

RUDI GIULIANI: "LYNCH HAS CORRUPTED THE JUSTICE DEPT."



Nov. 2, 2016 FoxNews: Mayor Rudi Giuliani: "I could write an indictment in two months."

Crowder: Let me break this down for you real simple for any errant leftist who found this site while searching for Gender Queer styling tips. As a general rule, people who join the FBI respect the law. Some may even love the law. These FBI agents go through intense study and training with dreams of taking down baddies. Sometimes with a gun, sometimes with a pen. FBI agents, as a general rule, are in the FBI so they can be good guys. Okay? Okay. So when agents discovered Hillary Clinton, a politician sitting at the tippity-top of our government, was possibly engaging in criminality, which may have endangered the security of the United States, these FBI agents wanted to pursue. Good guys vs. Bad Lady with Cankles. (More)

The FBI and Department of Justice had a fierce battle behind the scenes about whether or not to “aggressively” pursue an investigation into the Clinton Foundation after the bureau obtained secret recordings of a suspect talking about the foundation but prosecutors regarded the information as worthless hearsay. Using informants and information from an unrelated investigations, FBI agents thought they had enough to go after the foundation based on the book “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” the Wall Street Journal reported.

FBI INVESTIGATING CLINTON FOUNDATION PAY-FOR-PLAY 


Fox News is breaking news tonight that the Public Corruption Branch of the Criminal Investigative Division of the FBI are investigating Pay-for-Play interaction between the Secretary of State and the Clinton Foundation. The National Security Dept. of the FBI has found non duplicate emails on Weiner's laptop that have not been turned over to investigators. Weiner himself has checked into a rehab clinic. The Mills and Samuelson laptops mentioned in the now voided immunity deals were not destroyed and still exist. The FBI is looking at an early indictment. Better quality footage on Facebook




OBSTRUCTION OF CLINTON FOUNDATION INVESTIGATION


Loretta Lynch and Podesta's man at the DoJ Kadzik on the one hand and the FBI's second in command, McCabe -- who was paid off by Hillary/McAuliff -- is blocking the FBI's team that investigates the Clinton Foundation, from getting access to the emails treasure trove on Huma/Weiner's laptop. Rank and file want to move the investigation of the emails to another FBI office that is sympathetic to exposing corruption. The DoJ is blocking it. We need to keep our eye on the ball, which is the pay for play racket at the Foundation.

Why is Lynch rushing the search for classified e-mails but blocking the pay-to-play corruption probe? The Wall Street Journal’s report that, for over a year, the FBI has been investigating the Clinton Foundation for potential financial crimes and influence peddling is, as Rich Lowry said Monday, a blockbuster. As I argued over the weekend, the manner in which the State Department was put in the service of the Foundation during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary is shocking. It is suggestive of a pattern of pay-to-play bribery, the monetizing of political influence, fraud, and obstruction of justice that the Justice Department should be investigating as a possible RICO conspiracy under the federal anti-racketeering laws.  (...) it was already clear that Lynch’s Justice Department was stunningly derelict in hamstringing the bureau’s e-mails investigation. But now that we know the FBI was simultaneously investigating the Clinton Foundation yet being denied access to the Clinton e-mails, the dereliction appears unconscionable. It had to be screamingly obvious that the Clinton State Department e-mails, run through a server that also supported Clinton Foundation activities, would be critically important to any probe of the Foundation.

Here we learn that the FBI's McCabe (yes, that McCabe), sat on his hands when he should have gotten a warrant for the emails investigation. (More) Still unclear? Try the Rush transcript.

HILLARY'S PRIVATE SERVER HID FOUNDATION CORRUPTION




On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” columnist Charles Krauthammer argued that Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton set up her email server because she anticipated having things to hide, and now we know “exactly what she anticipated having to hide,” the “dirty” workings and “rank corruption” of the Clinton Foundation. Krauthammer said, “It was obvious she was hiding something. And think about it, she set it up in 2009, before becoming Secretary of State. So, she anticipated having exchanges that she would not want anyone to see. So, we’ve been asking ourselves on this set for a year almost, what exactly didn’t she want people to see? Well, now we know. And as we speculated, the most plausible explanation was the rank corruption of the Clinton Foundation, and its corrupt — I don’t know if it’s illegal, but corrupt relationship with the State Department. And her only defense as we saw earlier, the Democrats are saying, well, there was nothing she did…that was corrupted by donations. You can believe that if you want, but there’s a reason that people give donations in large amounts, and that’s to influence the outcome of decisions. So, this — we are getting unfolding to us, exactly what she anticipated having to hide, and it is really dirty business.” He later added that Hillary learned from the Lewinsky scandal that lying allows you to get away with inappropriate conduct.

FOUNDATION MEMO DESTROYS LAST CLINTON DEFENSE 


According to Wikileaks there are 124 references to "quid pro quo" and "pay to play" across WikiLeaks Clinton, Podesta and DNC emails. A major point of the Doug Band revelations is, that it has now become very hard if not impossible for the Democrats and their apologists in the media to maintain the non argument that "the documents are stolen by the Russians and have been tampered with". This is a memo of several pages long that can't have all been 'doctered'.
Band wrote the memo in 2011 to foundation lawyers conducting a review of the organization amid a brewing feud with the Clintons’ daughter, Chelsea Clinton, who was taking a stronger role in leading the foundation and had expressed concerns about Teneo’s operations. The memo lays out the aggressive strategy behind lining up the consulting contracts and paid speaking engagements for Bill Clinton that added tens of millions of dollars to the family’s fortune, including during the years that Hillary Clinton led the State Department. It describes how Band helped run what he called “Bill Clinton Inc.,” obtaining “in-kind services for the President and his family – for personal travel, hospitality, vacation and the like.” (More



Oct. 27, 2016


CLINTON FOUNDATION OR BILL CLINTON INC.? 


In a 2011 memo, an aide to Bill Clinton laid out the messy relationship between the Clinton Foundation and the former president's personal interests, detailing how some foundation donors also paid Clinton to speak and provide consulting services. (...) Doug Band, a long-time aide to Bill Clinton, wrote the 2011 memo as part of an internal audit at the Clinton Foundation. In trying to explain his role in the Foundation, Band also brought up a series of instances he and his consulting company, Teneo Holdings, helped Bill Clinton secure for-profit contracts. (...) “Independent of our fundraising and decision-making activities on behalf of the Foundation, we have dedicated ourselves to helping the President secure and engage in for-profit activities — including speeches, books, and advisory service engagements," Band wrote.

"In that context, we have in effect served as agents, lawyers, managers and implementers to secure speaking, business and advisory service deals. In support of the President’s for-profit activity, we also have solicited and obtained, as appropriate, in-kind services for the President and his family — for personal travel, hospitality, vacation and the like.” At one point, Band even referred to the former president’s money-making enterprises as “Bill Clinton, Inc.” Band said and Justin Cooper, another long-time aide, weren’t separately compensated for helping Bill Clinton profit. “We do not receive a fee for, or percentage of, the more than $50 million in for-profit activity we have personally helped to secure for President Clinton to date or the $66 million in future contracts, should he choose to continue with those engagements,” he continued.

 Band offered specific examples of donors who also worked with Bill Clinton in a private capacity as well. Band noted that Laureate International Universities was a foundation donor, having donated $1.4 million at the time the memo was written. The for-profit college network ultimately retained the former president as an adviser, paying him millions of dollars over several years. “Laureate is a Foundation relationship that evolved into a personal advisory services business relationship for President Clinton,” Band wrote in the memo. He said he began managing the relationship which Teneo partners took over in 2011, and which Band said "is very time-consuming. Laureate pays President Clinton $3.5 million annually to provide advice and serve as their Honorary Chairman.”

Another Teneo client, GEMS education, had donated approximately $780,000 by the time the memo was written in 2011. “Gems approached President Clinton in 2009 to seek his personal services as an advisor to the company,” Band wrote. “Justin and I convinced them to initiate a relationship to the Foundation, which they did; that relationship has grown into a business relationship for President Clinton and a donor relationship for CGI.” In an email to Podesta, who at the time was involved with the Clinton Foundation, Band brought up the fact he had been required to sign a conflict of interest policy because his wife designed bags for the charity and his consulting firm represented some of the foundation donors.

“Oddly, wjc (William Jefferson Clinton) does not have to sign such a document even though he is personally paid by 3 cgi (Clinton Global Initiative) sponsors, gets many expensive gifts from them, some that are at home etc,” Band wrote. “I could add 500 different examples of things like this.” A spokesperson from Teneo forwarded a statement to USA TODAY. “As the memo demonstrates, Teneo worked to encourage clients, where appropriate, to support the Clinton Foundation because of the good work that it does around the world. It also clearly shows that Teneo never received any financial benefit or benefit of any kind from doing so,” the statement said. (Source)

FORMER CLINTON FOUNDATION CEO "SEEKS ASYLUM" IN RUSSIA



Oct 25, 2016 Israeli News Live: Eric Braverman, the former CEO to Clinton foundation sought asylum at the Russian consulate in New York.

Russian news is reporting that the former CEO of the Clinton foundation, Eric Braverman has asked asylum at the Russian consulate in New York. The claim is as yet  not confirmed by reliable sources. Zero Hedge published an article on Braverman just a few days ago, with the title, Meet The Man Who Can Expose "The Real Hillary Clinton Scandal" (source). An English translation on a site called What Does It Mean (source) states that Braverman may not actually want asylum, as his actions seem more in accordance with someone seeking protection, as Braverman did not request anonymity as is common for asylum seekers, according to Russian consulate officials. The appearance of Braverman purportedly has led to some turmoil in the Kremlin as to what to do; granting asylum would create just another American accusation that Russia is trying to control the outcome of the US election, while Hillary Clinton is using "anti-Russia red-baiting at a level not seen since days of McCarthyism". The plot is evidently thickening.

CLINTON FOUNDATION REFILES AFTER FAILED TAX AUDIT


Hillary Clinton’s family’s charities are refiling at least five annual tax returns after a Reuters review found errors in how they reported donations from governments, and said they may audit other Clinton Foundation returns in case of other errors. The foundation and its list of donors have been under intense scrutiny in recent weeks. Republican critics say the foundation makes Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, vulnerable to undue influence. Her campaign team calls these claims “absurd conspiracy theories.” The charities’ errors generally take the form of under-reporting or over-reporting, by millions of dollars, donations from foreign governments, or in other instances omitting to break out government donations entirely when reporting revenue, the charities confirmed to Reuters.

(VIDEO) "CLINTON CASH": FBI WORKING AROUND DOJ BLOCK

Multiple FBI investigations are underway involving potential corruption charges against the Clinton Foundation, according to a former senior law enforcement official. The investigation centers on New York City where the Clinton Foundation has its main offices, according to the former official who has direct knowledge of the activities. Prosecutorial support will come from various U.S. Attorneys Offices — a major departure from other centralized FBI investigations. The New York-based probe is being led by Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. Bharara’s prosecutorial aggressiveness has resulted in a large number of convictions of banks, hedge funds and Wall Street insiders. The official said involvement of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York “would be seen by agents as a positive development as prosecutors there are generally thought to be more aggressive than the career lawyers within the DOJ.” (...)  Nicholas Biase, a spokesman for Bharara, said he would “decline comment.” Similarly, FBI spokeswoman Samantha Shero said, “we do not have a comment on investigative activity.” Bharara is best known for securing convictions of prominent political figures (...)

THE RUSSIA CONNECTION 

Both the IRS and the FBI are now investigating the Clinton Foundation. As a campaign strategy the Clinton camp is accusing Trump of involvement with the Russians. This is standard textbook how the Left is dealing also with European 'populist' parties. But what about the involvement of the Clintons with Russia? They are up to their eye balls in Russian schemes. There's the uranium deal. But wait, there's more.

IRS INVESTIGATING CLINTON FOUNDATION

"Clinton Cash" author, Peter Schweizer, recently took to the airwaves to explain why the IRS investigation of the Clinton Foundation should be a "big deal" (also see Clinton Cash: "Devastating" Documentary Reveals How Clintons Went From "Dead Broke" To Mega Wealthy") even though he expressed some "skepticism" over the ability of Obama's IRS to run an impartial investigation. As we we've reported (see "IRS Launches Investigation Of Clinton Foundation"), the IRS recently launched an investigation of the Clinton Foundation after receiving a letter signed by 64 Republicans of the House of Representative which described the Clinton Foundation as a “lawless ‘pay-to-play’ enterprise that has been operating under a cloak of philanthropy for years.” Somehow we, too, are doubtful that the IRS will lead this investigation with the same kind of vigor they displayed when looking into local Tea Party organizations and religious charities during the last election cycle. When asked why the IRS should be concerned about the Clinton Foundation, Mr. Schweizer explained:
"The big deal is that...there are international anti-bribery standards that say bribing a public official can mean giving them money, giving their family money, or giving their charity money. Just because it's a charity doesn't mean that it's not important or not interesting...it constitutes bribery every bit as much as if somebody's putting money in somebody's pocket for a benefit."

GOP OFFICE FIRE BOMB IS 'POLITICAL TERRORISM'

Both the Left and the Right Wing of the Elite Establishment are conspiring to take out Donald Trump, the outsider whose presidency would mean the end of their cozy power sharing arrangement. Surely no one believed the globalists would relinquish power without playing a few dirty tricks? 


Charlotte, North Carolina: GOP office firebombing: 'This is a horrific, horrific act of political terrorism.'

UPDATE: Gov. Pat McCrory Sunday called the weekend firebombing of a North Carolina Republican headquarters “an attack on our democracy,” while one GOP official called it an act of “political terrorism.” In a tweet, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump blamed “Animals representing Hillary Clinton and Dems in North Carolina.” Hillsborough police said somebody threw a bottle of flammable liquid through the window of Orange County’s GOP headquarters, setting campaign signs, supplies and furniture ablaze before burning itself out. A swastika and “Nazi Republicans get out of town or else” were spray painted on the side of an adjacent building. No damage estimates were available. “The firebombing of a local political headquarters in Orange County is clearly an attack on our democracy,” McCrory said in a statement. “Violence has no place in our society – but especially in our elections. … I will use every resource as governor to assist local authorities in this investigation.”

JUDGE SETS DATE FOR 22 YOD FRIVOLOUS UNDERAGE RAPE LAWSUIT

Both the Left and the Right Wing of the Elite Establishment are conspiring to take out Donald Trump, the outsider whose presidency would mean the end of their cosy power sharing arrangement. A judge has now set a date for a frivolous, 22 year old underage rape lawsuit. Surely no one believed the globalists would relinquish power without playing a few dirty tricks?  

A federal judge has ordered a status conference hearing after a woman filed a lawsuit claiming Donald Trump raped her when she was 13-years-old in 1994. In the lawsuit a witness, identified by the pseudonym Tiffany Doe, alleges she saw Mr Trump and billionaire-paedophile Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly rape the plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe. The complaint claims Epstein hired an unidentified woman to pick up teenage girls to bring to his parties. The plaintiff's third attempt in filing the lawsuit features a new witness named Joan Doe.
