[Satire] Oops: The New York Times Accidentally Exposed 'The Hillary Clinton-Russia Nexus'!

Investor's Business Daily ^ | 5/12/2017 | John Merline

[IBD editorial writer]

Below is the incredible New York Times editorial* published on Thursday that lays out the case for how the Hillary Clinton campaign was colluding with the Russian government, and then tried to cover it up by blaming her election loss on Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Hillary Clinton-Russia Nexus

The acting director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, told Congress on Thursday that President Trump's firing of James Comey has not derailed the agency's investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the Hillary Clinton campaign. Which is good news. Despite Mrs. Clinton's assertion that the idea of collusion is "a total hoax," and despite many unknowns, the links continue to pile up. Here is a partial accounting of the connections we do know something about.

THE CLINTON FAMILY BUSINESS There may be no Clinton Foundation office in Moscow or St. Petersburg, but it is not for lack of trying. Bill Clinton received half a million dollars in 2010 for a speech he gave in Moscow, paid by a Russian firm, Renaissance Capital, that has ties to Russian intelligence. The Clinton Foundation took money from Russian officials and oligarchs, including Victor Kekselberg, a Putin confidant. The Foundation also received millions of dollars from Uranium One, which was sold to the Russian government in 2010, giving Russia control of 20% of the uranium deposits in the U.S. — the sale required approval from Hillary Clinton's State Department. What's more, at least some of these donations weren't disclosed.

This is the collusion the democrats were searching for.

Really—the NYT published this?

It would be awesome if the Hillary investigation were reopened *without* a political hack leading it. I’d love to see her held accountable—and Bill, too.

Right now, the incessant “Trump-Russia” drumbeat is getting very, very old. The only reason for it is to drown out the legitimate concerns over Hillary’s collusion with Russia, the Clinton money laundering foundation, and Obama’s spying on Americans for political gain. The more we question these things, the louder the left screams, “But Trump! Russia!”

With Comey out, at least one source of protection for the Clintons and Obama is gone.

Ah, the satire tag appeared while I was typing my previous response. So my disbelief that the NYT published this is well-founded.

[Enterprise]

If someone doesn’t read through the article they won’t see the disclaimer. The author does make a good point. Where’s the investigation into Hillary and her associates for their economic ties to THE RUSSIANS? Some of the economic benefits were undisclosed. And THOSE are particularly in need of investigative scrutiny.

How typical of Libs; accuse their opponents of what they are doing...

[exDemMom]

When I initially saw the article, it did not have the “Sarcasm” tag in the title, and I found it very hard to believe that the NYT would have suddenly started printing the facts. The “Sarcasm” tag apparently appeared while I was typing my response.

But yes, it *is* a very good question—why *won’t* the MSM print the actual facts about Hillary? Unfortunately, it is the MSM that keeps goading the witch-hunt “investigation” into Trump, even though they all know that Trump not only is innocent, he has a pretty good track record spanning decades as far as his moral/ethical character goes.

THAT WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE NYT MET UP w/ THE TRUTH

Earlier, 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.

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

More egregiously, Hillary's campaign chairman, the ubiquitous John Podesta, acting as "The Podesta Group" (co-founded w/ his brother, Tony) lobbied on behalf of Uranium One, after most of it was owned by Russia.

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks
facilitated by Secy Clinton, as Bill globe-trotted to set up the deal.

"Hahahaha. A Moscow bank paid 500,000 for my speech. And I get a commission on the deal."

"Hahahahaha. US National security? You gotta be kidding, Vlad. Hahahahaha."

This is a spoof of a very similar NYT article about Trump.

Hey Liz,

Happy Mothers day to you and my FR colleagues.

I wish I could afford to send you a monetary reward for all your contributions to FR in exposing the Clinton/Obama frauds.

But maybe a picture of money will please you just as much as the real thing :- )

Vlad, many thanks for this down payment for the Uranium deal.  Many starving children in Haiti will benefit from your generous donation to the foundation.

By the way, Vlad, if you should hear in the next several months a lot of talk about "Russian hacking" or "Russians influencing the election", don't take that personally. We are simply covering our tracks -- urrrr, I mean "stopping our cheating opponents" -- by pretending we don't have this deep relationship.  In reality, Bill and I, Comey and the rest really appreciate your business!
