Bill and Hillary Clinton should be investigated (Chicago Tribune)
Chicago Tribune ^ | 11/20/2017 | Marc A. Thiessen

Posted on 11/21/2017 7:27:03 AM PST by simpson96

President Donald Trump's critics are arguing that GOP calls for the Justice Department to investigate Hillary Clinton and Democrats' ties to Russia are an effort to distract from the real Russia investigation, into potential Trump-Russia collusion.

No, they are not.

Ever since Watergate, the mantra of all major corruption investigations has been to "follow the money." Well, Americans of all political stripes should be outraged by the fact that both Democrats and Republicans in Washington are up to their eyeballs in Kremlin cash.(snip)

The New York Times reported in 2015 that "shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, [former President 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." In total, $145 million went to the Clinton Foundation from interests linked to Uranium One, which was acquired by the Russian government nuclear agency Rosatum.

Think that was just a coincidence? As former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy points out, the Uranium One deal is not a national security scandal, it is a corruption scandal involving "Clinton family self-dealing." Ask yourself: How many half-a-million-dollar speeches has Bill Clinton given to Kremlin-linked banks since Hillary Clinton was defeated? How much Russian money is flowing into the Clinton Foundation's coffers today? If Donald Trump had given a $500,000 speech paid for by a Kremlin bank, and his private foundation had accepted $145 million from Vladimir Putin-linked oligarchs and their Western business partners, do you think that his critics would be insisting there was nothing to see here?

They’re pulling out the longest knives to get that crazy woman off the TV screens and out of everyone’s memory before midterms.

Will she go quietly into the night?

“both Democrats and Republicans in Washington are up to their eyeballs in Kremlin cash.”

I think a better guess would be Saudi cash.

I think you would be right.
The Saudis own both parties.

It is amazing nonetheless that the Ministry of Propaganda has been given the go-ahead to go after the Clintons.

After writing about how essential it is to investigate the Clintons, Thiessen takes a gratuitous slap at PRESIDENT Trump. Then, right after the article, we learn:

Marc Thiessen writes a twice-weekly column for The Post on foreign and domestic policy and contributes to the PostPartisan blog. He is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and the former chief speechwriter for President George W. Bush. (My bolding.)

Since the Bushes have been the Clintons' chief ethical launderers, and probably received handsome compensation fo it, Thiessen's enmity for out PRESIDENT Trump has an obvious source.

Has Billy-boy? Neither will until they both die. They will be pontificating on their death beds. They're lust for fame, power, control, and their galaxy sized egos will not let them.

I know many will disagree with me, but my belief is since we all die, why can't these types die young? Can't believe the Monster Manson lived to 83. Still surprised he wasn't gutted just so some prison thug could build his creds.

——before midterms-—

Meanwhile, the Democrats have nothing except impeach Trump and complain about tax cuts for the rich.

There is no there there and it is exacerbated by Hillary Clinton who thinks she is somebody and can’t resist telling the world every day.

I think this newspaper actually endorsed Gary Johnson last year, so it seems more objective than most.

The Saudis and Zimbabwe are the first two dominoes. Wait until Iran tells all on Obama and the Clintons. North Korea has begun as well. It’s coming bigly.

“Will she go quietly into the night”?

No.

She is what is called “Perfectly possessed”.

“Perfect possession” is supposedly when an evil entity has

taken such total control of a person that there is not

even an indication that a person has an inner demon — no

sign of struggle, not on the surface, just a general

evilness. A person who is “perfectly possessed” would seem

at ease with his or her evil, or simply and fully

indifferent to it.
