Mueller team looking into possible United Arab Emirates money into Trump campaign: report

Fox News ^ | 3/04/18 | Joseph Weber

[Libloather]

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team is now purportedly looking into whether the United Arab Emirates, with perhaps help from a top adviser, tried to gain political influence by putting money into Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign -- a tack that would indicate Mueller’s investigation continues to expand beyond whether campaign officials colluded with Russia.

Mueller’s investigators in recent weeks have questioned the adviser, Lebanese-American businessman George Nader, and asked witnesses for information about whether the UAE tried to buy political influence by giving money to the Trump campaign, according to The New York Times.

Nader has been a frequent visitor to the Trump White House. And the president has praised the UAE for the Persian Gulf nation’s efforts to work with the United States on economic issues and squashing terrorism in the region, thanking Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed for his efforts just last week, according to the White House.

Trump prior to the election advocated drilling, fracking, coal, and offshore drilling and made good on his word. The UAE is totally dependent on oil and gas sales. They wanted Hillary not Trump as did all oil and gas exporting nations.

How about the reported $200,000,000.00 in HilLIARy funding from Muslim dictatorships ? And Allan the sorozNazi funding through his many front groups to both obama and HilLIARy? Nobody could bribe a multi - billionaire like Trump but the sorozNazi and islamonazi $$ appeared to rule the romantic with both Ob and Hi pretty much just puppets on strings

“..And Saudia Arabia paid 20% of hillary’s campaign expenses. She is not in jail....”

The obvious double standard of The Deep State. Protecting its own dirty secrets by protecting Hillary and harassing Trump.

[ScottfromNJ]

“Personally believe Mueller is pushing the envelope trying to piss off Trump.”

And he’s going to keep doing that indefinitely. Fire the bastard.

[gibsonguy]

“fire Mueller, or Sessions for that matter so they can claim cover up, and instigate impeachment.”

So what, Trump has to keep taking this BS when everyone knows the witch and Bernie took money from God knows where. Is that what you’re saying?

[CommieCutter]

You must have paid for a dossier of fake information as that movie wasn’t realesed until 1986.

[a fool in paradise]

How much to Barack Hussein Obama?

How much to Hillary Rotten Clinton who toppled Momar Gaddafi because of a foreign lobbyist?

Mueller’s lack of investigating the previous administration is very queer.

[databoss]

Ah that pesky little 2nd paragraph...”and anything that might arise...”this whole thing was a set of handcuffs to box Trump, the outsider, in. Why he is blazing at them with both barrels is beyond me. Scorched Earth I say. The Dems are rigging the 2018 election process and will win the House and everyday will be impeach, impeach, impeach. Blow their asses up first.

[gibsonguy]

“when it comes time for a special council to investigate the FBI, FISA abuse”

Yeah and who is going to do that? Magoo? Rosenweasel?

[Nifster]

Mueller needs to be dumped by congress. They have that power

[MAGAthon]

if Mueller & his gang of dem-biased lawyers didn’t have the backing of 99% of the FakeNewsMSM, this farce would have ended months ago. period.

[Robert DeLong]

F this clown. F=Fire!!! 8>)

[ReaganGeneration2]

Wait, this is from Carlos Slim’s blog: from “people with knowledge of the discussions”.

This is fiction writing, to dupe the Leftists into not falling asleep.

In case Mueller ever gets back to looking for Russians, here's a helpful hint (smirk).

======================================

Of all the spurious excuses she gives for her loss, the most ludicrous is that
Hillary says she lost her "sure-thing election" because "Putin doesn't like me."

===============================================

Hillary once bragged that she, alone, was brought into Putin's inner sanctum
where she assured Putin she was worried about wildlife like he was.

Dam...Putim musta outright lied when he told Hilary they were BFF.

Secy Hillary and Obama were eager to please Russia
w/ the friendly reset button. Too bad it backfired.

================================================

Ex-Pres Clinton is s-o-o-o-o friendly he traveled to Russia to clinch the uranium giveaway deal.
And to pocket a $500,000 dollar speaking fee from a Moscow bank plus a sizeable commission.

Billybooboo even used his friendly hokey hillbilly act on Putin.

[M Kehoe]

The Saudis donated approximately $120 million to the Hillary campaign. Does that count Mr. Mueller?

5.56mm

[Liz]

Pssssst, Mueller....you check this yet?

The Saudis admitted they donated 30% of Clinton's campaign funds so they blew about 320 million bucks to try to get "shoo-in" Hillary elected. Read on.

=======================================

Saudi Royals sucked-up like there was no tomorrow. Turns out they helped stage Hillary's election night "victory"---giving her a huge expensive flat screen TV supposedly to air her crashing through a symbolic 500,000 dollar glass ceiling. (This from a kingdom where women are not allowed to drive). Did Hillary report the gift to the FEC?

Saudi Arabia Funded 20% Of Hillary's Presidential Campaign, Saudi Crown Prince Claims Zerohedge ^ | Jun 14, 2016 3:57 AM | Tyler Durden / FR Posted by xzins

(NOTE: It is illegal in the United States for foreign countries to try to influence the outcome of elections by funding candidates. That appears not to have stopped Hillary or the Saudis, however.)

THE PRINCE SPEAKS: “Saudi Arabia provided with full enthusiasm 20 percent of the cost of Hillary Clinton’s election"......the report quoted Saudi Prince Mohammed as having said. According to the US Federal Election commission, over the past two years Clinton has raised a little more than $211.8 million. 20% of this sum is $42.4 million.

The Saudi Press Agency then reported that the senior royal was due to fly to Washington where he will meet Obama admin officials to discuss US-Saudi ties.

--SNIP--

ITEM--- Links between Saudi Arabia and the Clinton family, including with Hillary’s campaign, are well reported. In 2008, it was revealed that the Gulf kingdom had donated between $10m and $25m to the Clinton Foundation, a charity set up by Hillary’s husband and former US President Bill Clinton.

ITEM-- Last year the Centre for Studies and Media Affairs at the Saudi Royal Court paid public relations firm the Podesta Group $200,000 for a month-long project to provide “public relations services”. The Podesta Group was founded in 1988 by brothers John and Tony Podesta. John Podesta is the chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.

===============================================

POINTS TO PONDER Obama's cut of the Saudi monies must have been substantial. B/c Pres Obama and Secy Hillary Clinton approved record billions in arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

============================================

Then-Secy Hillary lands in Saudi Arabia (checks to make sure she's
on camera). The play-to-play suck-up begins.

===============================================

Sure would like to have been a fly in the camel tent after Hillary lost. Must be lotsa bad-mouthing in the desert seeing that Americans turned the Clintons into political dead meat.

[shanover]

Yes, how f-ing long do we have to endure this sh*t!!!

[NoLibZone]

After the UAE Mueller with start with the A’s. Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria....

The Swamp needs Trump to keep Sessions.

Hillary aide Abedin Forwarded State Passwords to Yahoo Before It Was Hacked by Russian and Foreign Agents

By Luke Rosiak, The Daily Caller / January 02, 2018 /

Abedin, a top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, routed sensitive information through Yahoo multiple times.

Huma Abedin forwarded sensitive State Department emails, including passwords to government systems, to her personal Yahoo email account before every single Yahoo account was hacked, a Daily Caller News Foundation analysis of emails released as part of a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch shows. Abedin, the top aide to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, used her insecure personal email provider to conduct sensitive work.

This guarantees that an account with high-level correspondence in Clinton’s State Department was affected by one or more of a series of breaches—at least one of which was perpetrated by a “state-sponsored actor.”

The U.S. later charged Russian intelligence agent Igor Sushchin with hacking 500 million Yahoo email accounts. The initial hack occurred in 2014 and allowed his associates to access accounts into 2015 and 2016 by using forged cookies. Sushchin also worked for the Russian investment bank Renaissance Capital, which paid former President Bill Clinton $500,000 for a June 2010 speech in Moscow.

A separate hack in 2013 compromised 3 billion accounts across multiple Yahoo properties, and the culprit is still unclear. “All Yahoo user accounts were affected by the August 2013 theft,” the company said in a statement. Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff, regularly forwarded work emails to her personal humamabedin@yahoo.com address.

“She would use these accounts if her [State] account was down or if she needed to print an email or document. Abedin further explained that it was difficult to print from the DoS system so she routinely forwarded emails to her non-DoS accounts so she could more easily print,” an FBI report says.

Abedin sent passwords for her government laptop to her Yahoo account on Aug. 24, 2009, an email released by the State Department in September shows. Long-time Clinton confidante Sid Blumenthal sent Clinton an email in July 2009 with the subject line: “Important. Not for circulation. You only. Sid.” The email began “CONFIDENTIAL … Re: Moscow Summit.” Abedin forwarded the email to her Yahoo address, potentially making it visible to hackers.

The email was deemed too sensitive by the government to release to the public and was redacted before being published pursuant to the Judicial Watch lawsuit. The released copy says:

“Classified by DAS/ A/GIS, DoS on 10/30/2015 Class: Confidential.” The unredacted portion reads: “I have heard authoritatively from Bill Drozdiak, who is in Berlin. … We should expect that the Germans and Russians will now cut their own separate deals on energy, regional security, etc.”

I must admit to being troubled by the fact that DJT failed to return a copy of Top Gun to Blockbuster in 1983.

...and he failed to rewind the VHS tape!
