FBI informant blocked from telling Congress about Russia nuclear corruption case, lawyer says
The Hill ^ | 10/18/2017 | JOHN SOLOMON AND ALISON SPANN

Posted on 10/18/2017 11:46:26 AM PDT by bitt

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?'”

Jeff Feckless may be just as guilty as the rest of them.

“I repeat myself”

Same here. I’m forgetting about HRC for a moment and all the other players.

I was screaming and yelling to all of my family before the election that this was not normal politics on O’s part. That something was amiss.

The desperation has only grown.

Now I see that this midterm election is crucial to them. Somehow they have to get DJT out of office.

This latest story about Russians planting news stories on social media designed to inflame racial tensions (basically bad things about black people) strikes me as a carefully crafted double-false-flag sort of water-muddying exercise whose real aim is to plant a trail of bread-crumbs for later exploitation.

The real time impact of these stories was zero. They were too vaguely worded in a political context to have any measurable impact on the election. For every voter who said, “I don’t like this sort of thing, I’m voting Trump,” there would be another who said, “I see proof here of racial injustice, I’m voting Clinton.”

If there was any thought out strategy at all, it was to give substance to any future false news about Russian collusion. And the only people smart enough and devious enough to figure this out in advance would be Putin, Medvedev and Obama, hence Obama’s cryptic comment, “I can be more useful in my second term.”

Apparently so.

What I conclude from all this is that globalists are using their international connections to destabilize politics in the United States, so that only globalists can wield power. Putin doesn’t care, he’s no globalist himself but maybe he got paid, and maybe he would prefer to see a chaos descend on his old ideological enemy. The idea that he prefers Trump is just conjecture and not proven out by events since the election.

I can tell you right now that congress does not want this guy mucking up the coverup. Congress is in on most coverups. When they are forced to hold hearings- it only so that they can say they did something without actually bringing justice to anyone.

There are so many weird twists to this story:

MOSCOW, March 16, 2015 (RAPSI, Vladimir Yaduta) – Russian national Vadim Mikerin implicated in a criminal case over an uranium supply contract filed a motion to dismiss the indictment accusing US authorities of an unjustified delay which resulted in loosing key witness, according to court records obtained by RAPSI on Monday. Mikerin, the former general director of TENAM USA, which is indirectly under control of Rosatom, the Russian state-owned nuclear corporation, was charged with conspiracy to commit extortion. Three US nationals were charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Charges were brought in connection with an alleged scheme to obtain contracts that involved shipping uranium from disassembled nuclear Russian warheads to power plants in the US. Mikerin collected about $1.7 million in bribes from the scheme, according to prosecutors. The inquiry into the alleged scheme began in 2009 and expanded for five years, with a paid informant as a member of the investigative team.

Mikerin was arrested on October 29, 2014, on a criminal complaint alleging money laundering and an elaborate extortion scheme. By that time one of his alleged co-conspirators and key defense witness, Rod Fisk, died from cancer. Moreover, Fisk’s computer with all the information which Mikerin claimed to be critical evidence was destroyed.

“Despite having the opportunity, and being in the midst of an investigation then in its third year, the Government did not seize, subpoena or image Mr. Fisk’s computer, which contained relevant information concerning the alleged scheme and Mr. Fisk’s involvement,” reads a motion filed by Mikerin with the US District Court for the District of Maryland. He further complains of his inability to defend himself and wants the indictment to be dismissed.

Fleshing out his claims, Mikerin asserted: “the loss of Mr. Fisk’s testimony and critical evidence from Mr. Fisk’s computer is blatantly prejudicial to Mr. Mikerin and the Government is unable to establish valid reasons for this delay”. RIA Novosti reported earlier citing a Rosatom spokesman that the case against Mikerin might be politically motivated.

I just did a search on the CNN website for any mention of uranium, uranium 1, etc, after looking in vain for a story about the Russia uranium deal..

NOT ONE WORD!

besides reporting them to the FCC, we should all email them to their “send a tip” email address:

CNNTips@cnn.com

At this point he starting to descend from disappointing nominee to a straight on coward who won't go after corruption in DC. I know I don't what is going on in the DOJ but Sessions is about to get ax. Deservedly so, they are in desperate need of leadership.

If he doesn't do something about the Clinton CGI corruption, the rigged primary, those Arwan Paki spies in the next couple of weeks and the president doesn't can his ass - Well at that point I'm going to have to start blaming the president even though I love the guy.

Sessions has demonstrated he will only go after the those who are the weakest criminals - illegal aliens who are by definition criminals from the planet Mexi-con and have very few resources and rights in a country they are illegally trying to occupy, raid and fleece.

The corruption of the rich and powerful Sessions doesn't seem to care because of fear, camaraderie, cowardice? I really don't know and at this point don't care.

You see I get tomorrows paper today - they always leave the stock market, lottery numbers and sport scores out. kinda crappy.

To answer your question about my mental capacity yeah I'm probably an idiot - I do believe I stated in the post I don't know anything, to clarify based on sources or those in the know (actual facts from actual people nope got nothing) - but to me its pretty clear Sessions isn't long for this job. Sometimes I just know things and they happen its weird and a bit concerning.

Sessions totally blows goats when it comes to going after obvious flagrant corruption and has let the president twist in the wind.

Also who shows up for work and says "oh yeah um I can't be involved"? Nobody in this idiots world - that is who.

He maybe got 3 weeks left - tops.

But don't do your job for 8 months and screw your boss over focus resources on a failed drug program from the 80's - I don't need to bust out the crystal ball for this one - bookmark it laugh at me when I'm wrong bow down when I'm right.

Adios Jeff.

You will be held accountable as well by the American people, if you continue to push the lies and help these traitors cover up this Clinton cabal crimes.

I think the mediots would rather be held accountable by the American people than by the Clintons. They don't believe the American people will kill them.

Read LS’s comments if you want sanity.

Or contine to freak out because Sessions isn’t presenting what he’s doing day by day.
