[SMGFan]

Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech....

[9YearLurker]

What is pushing Trump to fight back on this? That Jared is somehow being targeted? That Flynn has turned and has something he can give the Dems?

[jazminerose]

How do we know he isn’t?

[WVNan]

Yes, Comey had dealings with the Clintons (in case someone didn’t know).

[Crucial]

Good for Trump.

It takes the edge off off not trying to repeal Obama Care, even in part, but the pain and anger still lingers.

Intelligence Committee? Intelligence Committee will just appoint another committee which will slow drag their DC feet until hell freezes over. This is just the way the cesspool works and the d#$ckheads scratch each others backs.

Why not the DOJ? They should be looking into a slew of things that Her Thighness and the Halfrican did over the past 8 years. You want to stretch some hemp this is the way to go at it.

Of course, President Trump is not going to prosecute Her Thighness. She is just going to sit next to the Halfrican in her throne running the Shadow Government with him until they get him kicked out or he hangs himself on some type of technicality.

He better start playing hardball and quit schmoozing up with Paul Ryno because this is not reality TV.

[eartick]

Why isn’t AG Sessions looking into it?

BINGO AND BUMP

[Drew68]

interesting article here:

If you carefully read that WP piece, you'll see they pretty much confirmed Trump and Schweitzer's allegations yet gave Trump "four Pinnochios" anyways.

[LouisianaJoanof Arc]

You are right.

[Shady]

...And Bill Kristol has lost what was left of his little mind...

[Envisioning]

Intelligence Committee? Intelligence Committee will just appoint another committee which will slow drag their DC feet until hell freezes over. This is just the way the cesspool works and the d#$ckheads scratch each others backs.

A kindergartner could have found something by now. Has a Committee ever found anything prosecutable, ever?

President Trump had better get serious about going after Hussien and Hillary and the rest of the swamp. They will not stop. They will not cooperate. Lock her up! Lock all of them up!

[CincyRichieRich]

Who is on the committee specifically and who is the chair?

That would likely explain.

This gambit by Bill Clinton (meddling in a foreign election) got the Russian uranium scheme going. Bill's calculated handshake was a bonanza for the Kazahk president's re-election. Nazarbayev responded in kind and signed-off on the initial phase of Russia's takeover of US uranium assets.

Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev greets former
president Clinton (L) in Almaty on September 6, 2005.

CIRCA 2015 A Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter claims that former President Bill Clinton falsely denied hosting a meeting with Kazakh officials when she tried to write a story that involved his foundation several years ago.

Jo Becker, who works on the newspaper's investigative desk, said Clinton only confirmed the meeting took place after she informed him there were photographs.

Clinton's role in a deal that involved Kazakhstan, the Russian government, and a man who donated millions to the president's charitable foundation were detailed in a story Becker published on Thursday.

That article revisited some of her earlier reporting and included information from the upcoming book "Clinton Cash," which is generating widespread headlines amid a flurry of reports suggesting it will raise serious questions about Clinton's family foundation.

The donor in question is Canadian mining executive Frank Giustra, a longtime friend of the former president who has given tens of millions to the Clinton Foundation in the past few years. (A couple of hours after the NYT story was published, Giustra issued a defiant statement. We've included that below.)

Becker initially wrote about the February 2007 meeting between Clinton, Giustra, and executives from the state-owned nuclear company Kazatomprom in 2008. The gathering took place at Clinton's home in Chappaqua, New York.

"When I first contacted both the Clinton foundation — Mr. Clinton's spokesman — and Mr. Giustra, they denied any such meeting ever took place," Becker recalled in footage aired by Fox News on Thursday.

However, Becker said Clinton and Giustra both changed their stories after she confronted them with evidence to the contrary.

"And then when we told them, 'Well we already talked to the head of Kazatomprom, who not only told us all about the meeting, but actually has a picture of him and Bill at the home in Chappaqua, and that he proudly displayed on his office wall.' They then acknowledged that yes, the meeting had taken place," Becker continued in the television interview.

The purpose of the meeting, then Kazatomprom President Moukhtar Dzhakishev told The Times, was to discuss Kazakhstan potentially buying a 10% stake in Westinghouse, a US nuclear company. Becker's 2008 story also noted one of Giustra's companies secured a deal to buy uranium deposits from Kazatomprom in 2005.

That agreement was made after Clinton accompanied Giustra on a trip to Kazakhstan. During the trip, Giustra and Clinton met with Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev.

Clinton issued a public statement praising the Kazakh leader despite his questionable, antidemocratic record. The Times called the praise a "propaganda coup" for Nazarbayev. (he later "won relection" w/ an unbelievable 90% of the vote)

"Just months after the Kazakh pact was finalized, Mr. Clinton's charitable foundation received its own windfall: a $31.3 million donation from Mr. Giustra that had remained a secret until he acknowledged it last month. The gift, combined with Mr. Giustra’s more recent and public pledge to give the William J. Clinton Foundation an additional $100 million, secured Mr. Giustra a place in Mr. Clinton’s inner circle," wrote Becker and another reporter, Don Van Natta.

A spokesperson for the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership told Business Insider they are "working on a formal statement" in response to a request for comment on Thursday. Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership is an initiative of the Clinton Foundation that was cofounded by Clinton and Giustra in 2007. A Clinton Foundation spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

The Clintons ties to Russia have been ignored far too long. The infamous Russian uranium deal occurred during President Obama’s administration....but, of course, Obama knows nothing about it (/sarc).

The New York Times reported the Clintons' connections thusly: "Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal." Plus Bill Clinton pocketed $500,000 from a Moscow investment bank for a brief speech.

The NYT and Washington Post never reported about Pravda's headline: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.” Imagine if a Republican State Department approved such a deal?

Significantly, Hillary's campaign chairman ,John Podesta, acting as "The Podesta Group" lobbied on behalf of Uranium one, after most of it was owned by Russia.

Obama knew nothing about this, either (smirk):

January 2013 Pravda trumpeted Putin’s coup: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.” Details how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West."

"Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Hillary Rodham Clinton."

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

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation.

The Clintons have yet to explain these reports: “As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation.”

Ian Telfer, Uranium One’s chairman, used his family foundation to make four donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

(NOTE: The IRS asserts the biggest money laundering, IRS evasion occurs when one foundation writes a check to another foundation---the MO "charities" use to siphon off tax-free money for themselves.)

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

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.

Obama knew nothing about this (snix).

[Pravious]

And it’s not just CNN but all the mainstream media are all lies , fake news on this and everything.

---

Yes. I try to watch Fox News, but obviously they’ve gotten a memo and EVERY broadcast features “Trump and Russia!” anti-news.

[Shark24]

“Imagine the task of cleaning up the mob within the mob.”

You nailed it there. President Trump is doing triage right now without the full support of Republicans and Conservatives. Gonna take some time.....

[Tennessee Conservative]

They defend him on Fox & Friends. That’s the only show I watch anymore except for Hannity and Tucker on occasion.

[Pravious]

Those are the only programs I can watch on Fox News as well.

And part of this is due to the absolutely disgraceful behavior on the part of our beloved elected officials. Instead of demanding this crap be laid to rest and pointing out, loudly and daily, that it’s just fake news and there isn’t a shred of evidence any of it is true, the vast majority of them cower under their desks like the spineless, corrupt, over-paid wankers that they are and do nothing to protect their own President.

[Freee-dame]

Oh, those pictures that prove when people have lied. I guess the Clintons didn't realize that any were saved from that meeting. The time line of the uranium deal/sellout are complicated but the basics can be understood if only heard a few times. We shall see.

The MSM will probably try to bury it. Of course, they can use "evidence" that it's not true since the WaPo gave an article about it 4 pinnochios. /s
