This is gold...

Explains why Little Debbie was so panicky ...

First time I’ve ever seen two Rats desperately disassociating themselves. And to do it this assertively and proactively... ha, restock your popcorn.

“The Russian document mentioned a supposed email describing how....”

Emphasis: “mentioned”

Must be one of the 33,000 emails deleted....you know, the emails about yoga and such.

The spin games in this article are just mind boggling. The Dems want to claim that Comey harmed Clinton by recommending NOT to indict her, even though she was obviously guilty, because he feared release of a hearsay report containing claims about a Wasserman-Shwartz email might discredit the DoJ and FBI if Clinton wasn’t indicted.

D’oh — But Comey did recommend NOT to indict Clinton, the facts in the public domain were enough to show us the investigation was a sham, and this purported document was NOT released after the non-indictment. There whole premise is empty. The evidentiary value of what someone says was in an email they can’t produce is precisely zip. So please help me understand how anything abut the document influenced the election. This is total BS as presented.

Which tells us that it is not the actual story.

Not just amazing, it is incredible. Yuge, even.

Apparently this was the most secure document held by the US government.

The end game seems to be that all Democrat leaders and Obama appointees are stupid and gullible and therefore there is no way they could have done anything illegal, no intent to do anything illegal. Their naivete excuses them.

They’re just trying to plant the idea that the report was “just hearsay.” But since when has hearsay stopped the reporting or use of anything in this affair?
They know it isn’t, but have no way of knowing when the email could come out or any of the supporting evidence could come out.
They know it’s out there.

Hmmm... the FBI became more hardend against it in August...

and it concerns the Open Society Foundation...

Could it be someone was afraid of material on the OSF coming out because this doc’s email could be in it? :

From August:

DCLeaks Website Down, Twitter Suspended After Releasing Soros Docs · by blueyon · 58 replies
The Daily Caller ^ | 8/27/16 | Peter Hasson

DCLeaks, a website that releases information on powerful political figures, has had its Twitter account suspended and part of its website taken offline after releasing a cache of documents on billionaire donor George Soros. The website had previously released 2,500 internal Open Society Foundation (OSF) documents in order to “shed light on one of the most influential networks operating worldwide.” OSF is one of Soros’ networks of organizations. The leaked documents had resulted in several damaging reports about the organization. OSF had previously confirmed that the documents were legitimate.

No wonder so many of Hillary and other prominent Democrat’s hard drives were destroyed. No wonder why the DNC would not allow the FBI to examine their computers to see if they were hacked by the Russians.

No wonder Hillary and DNC fought so hard to thwart Judicial Watch requests for emails in discovery court proceedings.

There is likely some really serious stuff and smoking guns that would destroy lots of political career. I sense that the “false Russian intelligence report” might have been based on a bit of truth. You got to wonder what happened when Bill met Loretta on the tarmac. You got to wonder about all kinds of things.

Looks like a pre-emptive leak to the WaPo for damage control.

This story must be very damaging to the Dems if Bezos’ Flying Monkeys are trying so hard to get in front of it and spin it away, rather than just ignoring and attacking Trump.

The NSA has all these emails and phone calls involving everyone at DOJ and FBI who whitewashed the Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation investigations. How ironic that it is the Russians who are spilling the beans on US government corruption.

Comey’s statement that no one at the DOJ had any inkling of what he was going to do in that July press conference is almost certainly false, since his staff working the case and the Obama DOJ staff working the case would have been in close daily contact over every aspect of the case.

The whole thing is a big gaslighting joke, starting with Comey’s claim that no reasonable prosecutor could every believe that Hillary knowingly had classified info on her private server.

Just the opposite is true, no juror could possibly believe she did not know, since she was intimately familiar with what constitutes USGOV secrets from her days on the Armed Services Committee and indeed her years as Secretary of State.

She ran classified info many times through her server time and time again for month after month year after year. It is simply not possible to believe that Hillary never once recognized so many USGOV secrets staring at her from her computer screen.

We need a comprehensive audit of the activities of the DOJ and the FBI during the Obama years for instances of obstruction of justice and official corruption in the handling of any matter involving Obama political hacks, including but not limited to Hillary.

Russian Bank Docs Indicate Hillary Clinton & John Podesta Should Answer About Their Ties to Russia
The Washington Standard ^ | 03-06-2017 | Tim Brown / FR Posted by ReformedMedia

There's virtually no evidence to support claims of Trump's ties to Russia........but there is damning concrete evidence, in the form of documents, indicate that Hillary Clinton and John Podesta have some explaining to do when it comes to their ties to Russia.

Remember how Hillary Clinton used a fake story about a computer server at Trump Tower, which the Obama administration asked for a FISA court permission to wiretap, to brow beat then candidate Trump? You don't?

Here's her tweet.
https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/793234169576947712

The story was bogus. Investigative reporter Jerome Corsi uncovered some documents from a Russian bank that show how a Russian billionaire with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin paid huge financial payments to both John Podesta and the Clinton Foundation.

Jerome Corsi reports: The money trail hunt begins with a document Infowars has obtained from the Russian Central Bank “Registry of Significant Control,” known generally as the “RSC Registry.”

This document traces the ownership of Metcombank, a relatively small Russian-domiciled bank located in the Russian Ural Mountains, to ownership by Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian billionaire with close ties to Putin.

As we shall see this document provides evidence of the circuitous path the Russian government has been using since Hillary Clinton was secretary of state to make large financial payments to John Podesta and to the Clinton Foundation.

Here are those documents (linked). (Excerpt) Read more at thewashingtonstandard.com ...

“I still remain confident Special Prosecotor Mueller will find no Trump/Russia Connection. But will indeed find a Hillary/Russia connection. With Comey, Lynch and even Obastard highly involved with felonies, frauds, lies and deceptions.”

Isn’t the special prosecutor limited to investigating the Trump Campaign only?

As much as I’d like to see it - I have low confidence any such evidence would be considered by the prosecutor.

Yes. And they’ll make something up if they can’t find anything.
