FBI watched, then acted as Russian spy moved closer to Hillary Clinton

As Hillary Clinton was beginning her job as President Obama’s chief diplomat, federal agents observed as multiple arms of Vladimir Putin’s machine unleashed an influence campaign designed to win access to the new secretary of State, her husband Bill Clinton and members of their inner circle, according to interviews and once-sealed FBI records.

Some of the activities FBI agents gathered evidence about in 2009 and 2010 were covert and illegal.

A female Russian spy posing as an American accountant, for instance, used a false identity to burrow her way into the employ of a major Democratic donor in hopes of gaining intelligence on Hillary Clinton’s department, records show. The spy was arrested and deported as she moved closer to getting inside the secretary’s department, agents said.

Other activities were perfectly legal and sitting in plain view, such as when a subsidiary of Russia’s state-controlled nuclear energy company hired a Washington firm to lobby the Obama administration. At the time it was hired, the firm was providing hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in pro bono support to Bill Clinton’s global charitable initiative, and it legally helped the Russian company secure federal decisions that led to billions in new U.S. commercial nuclear business, records show.

Agents were surprised by the timing and size of a $500,000 check that a Kremlin-linked bank provided Bill Clinton with for a single speech in the summer of 2010. The payday came just weeks after Hillary Clinton helped arrange for American executives to travel to Moscow to support Putin’s efforts to build his own country’s version of Silicon Valley, agents said.

After getting beaten to the punch by the Chinese when Bill was selling classified satellite tech, they wanted to make sure they got in on the ground floor this time.

I’m guessing the female honeypot was a two-fer; she did double duty for both Bill and Hillary.

The Hill is complete garbage. This long winded explanation is just an attempt to diminish the criminality of Uranium One.

The Cankle and The Bent One were not very hard or sophisticated targets. One hot Ruskie with a good rack and you have both of their attention and how hard would it be to induce some jealousy into that relationship.

Both of them highly blackmailable and neither should have been allowed any type of security clearance because of it.

another tale with Hillary Clinton getting a mention -

21 Oct: Telegraph: Oxford University Islamic professor denies rape allegations by French feminist author
By Steve Bird; Harry Yorke, Online Education Editor and Rory Mulholland
A professor of Islamic studies at Oxford University who has advised the Government on countering extremism has been accused of rape by a French feminist author.
Professor Tariq Ramadan, 55, was said to have attacked Henda Ayari after inviting her to his hotel room following a conference on Islam in Paris in 2012...

Prof Ramadan, the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, was chosen by Tony Blair to work on a task force to help tackle extremism in the UK following the 7/7 attacks in London in 2005.
He has also worked with the Foreign Office’s Advisory Group on Freedom of Religion or Belief, chaired by Tory Peer Baroness Warsi. He is Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at Oxford University...
He is the grandson of Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brother, the Sunni Islamist group in Egypt...

In 2004, he was due to take up a post as professor of Islamic studies at the University of Notre Dame, in Indiana, but was barred entry by the American government, for “providing material support to a terrorist organisation”.
However, he argued that no such link with a terrorist organisation existed and six years later, Hillary Clinton, the then Secretary of State, revoked the ban...

Ms Ayari’s lawyer, Jonas Haddad, said Ms Ayari’s decision to speak out was partly prompted by the Harvey Weinstein affair ...

So true. The media has turned to a new narrative. They’re trying to turn Niger into Trump’s “Benghazi”.

Demonize the Russians and exonerate Hillary seems to be the SOP for the media nowadays.

Heck, I’ve seen a whole bunch of stories from the Trump haters in the media claiming Russia is behind the independence movement in Catalonia.

That idea has been floating around on social media since about a week after it happened - all sorts of internet cranks have been vigorously spiking the football, 'we got him now!' and so forth. Am surprised it took this long to finally make the rounds in the enemedia.

The spies could be spotted by the huge checks they were waiving in the Clintons’ faces.
