Schweizer: Hillary Claim of Lack of Awareness on Uranium One Deal ‘Stretches Credulity,’ <trunk>
Breitbart.com ^ | 19 Oct 2017 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 10/19/2017 8:58:05 AM PDT by Rockitz

Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Breitbart News senior editor-at-large Peter Schweizer, author of “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” discussed the Clintons’ involvement with the Uranium One deal.

That deal allocated Russia 20 percent of the United States’ strategic uranium reserves.

Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time of the U.S. government’s approval of the deal, has denied involvement in that approval process. That claim according to Schweizer “stretches credulity” and warrants an investigation.

Transcript as follows:

CARLSON: Peter Schweizer originally broke this story in a book called “Clinton Cash,” he’s been covering it ever since and he joins us now. Peter, thanks for coming on.

SCHWEIZER: Tucker, thanks for having me.

CARLSON: So, this is a kind of confusing cover to the story. The person who apparently has first-hand evidence that the Russian government tried to get the Clintons to support the deal has been prevented from speaking even to Congress, how can that be and what’s the justification for that?

SCHWEIZER: Well, that’s a great question, Tucker. What we know, apparently based on the reporting is that he has been put under a gag order by the Department of Justice and has been told that if he speaks about this publicly, not only will he face financial penalties in the form of a fine, that he could actually go to jail, that his liberty would be at risk, which is mystifying to me. I mean, why do we not want to know the details about this? That’s what’s so troubling, is it reeks of cover-up. It just stinks. There’s no other word for it.

Hey, she may not have known about the uranium (wink-wink), but she sure did know about the money that ended up in her coffers.

the Department of Justice today under President Trump, Attorney General Sessions, could tomorrow come back and say we are removing this gag order, that we believe that there’s a compelling national interest to know. We want this individual to testify before Congress. We want the public to know exactly what went on.

So, this is not something that’s unbreakable, but it just simply takes a request from the Department of Justice to remove that gag order. If that gag order is not removed, I think it’s doubtful this businessman will want to go public, because he doesn’t want to be put in legal jeopardy.

Won’t. Lack of awareness? ZERO credibility. Kinda like dodging sniper fire with shellsea in tow. Running(?) down the stairs with a cup of coffee talking over her shoulder and falling backwards up the stairs resulting in either a broken toe or a sprained cankle. Never knew bill was cheating and besides, they were asking for it. Or something.

Sessions told the committee yesterday that he could not comment on ongoing investigations, which nobody seems to have heard and picked up on.

Why do you think this story, the we have known about for a year, is all the sudden back on social media with such a bang this week?

Why hasn’t this individual’s gag order been rescinded? Why hasn’t congress been informed of this investigation if there is one?

I read 2 very interesting theories yesterday.

The tarmac meeting which the MSM just happened to be in place to report and did report ,not covering up something bad( about a Clinton(which they have proven they are a tool of the DNC). It was a set up so Lynch would have to recuse herself leaving Comey the fall guy for covering up for Clinton. Lynch would then be free to continue as AG under Hillary continuing to never prosecute any Clinton crime.

The problem is that he refused to do it their way and listed every crime she was guilty of before excusing the crimes. Which is what Clinton is so pissed about.

Comey had the NYPD and lower level FBI threatening him with leaking and expose everything. Then Comey, who never leaked in all the years of being at the FBI, starts leaking to the press his silly note story setting up the special prosecutor Rosenstein and Mueller( who interviewed the day before for Comey's job with Trump at the White House).

Mueller's team who has been looking into 11 years of peoples financial records. Guess what was started 11 years ago....the Clinton foundation. Now we have this story being released and pushed again and Trump tweeting about it.

There were a lot of people caught up in the DNC crimes that want a chance to redeem themselves and get out of it.....Trump is giving them that chance, they will either take it or not. Something is coming either way and Sessions said he could not comment on ongoing investigations.

The second theory, Comey, Rosenstein and Mueller are doing the DNC bidding to take Trump out and Trump and company let this go on because they know there is no Russian connection. It is all a red herring to the press so that investigations can go on.

Assange warned 2 weeks ago that he was giving until the 21st for inditement(which I do not remember) then last week told everyone no one had contacted him including Mueller's team about who really gave him his leaks and for the proof. Then Monday the key was released which is usually released a week or so before a dump comes from Wikileaks.

Trump knows what is about to be released and is giving Mueller a chance to expose the real Russian interference.

We also learned that there were another 2,500 documents on the Weiner laptop this week related to government documents that shouldn't be there(why learn this now?). The drop is supposed to be the contents of the computer that the NYPD mirrored before turning over the the FBI. This was supposed to come out during the election but was stopped by the Dems early release of the Trump tape that was supposed to come out the week before the election so he could not recover. When Wikileaks later was going to release, during the release the internet went down in places all around the world and Assange went dark at the embassy. Supposedly new procedures are in place for this release the time and the files have been gone over to be sure they had not been corrupted during that outage. Trump has given Mueller the space and time to do the right thing....but so far nothing with the deadline fast approaching.

Do not know if either theory is true but they make more sense that a corrupt Sessions covering for the DEMS and rings.

Unless, of course, she really does have Alzheimer’s, in which case she’s unaware of a whole lot more than that.
