Everybody Is Forgetting That Clinton Allies Did The Same Thing As Don Jr.
The Daily Caller ^ | 07/10/17 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 07/11/2017 5:08:01 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Many journalists reacted breathlessly to a New York Times report on Sunday revealing that President Trump’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., met with a Russian lawyer who indicated she had damaging information about Hillary Clinton.

Donald Jr. admitted to the June 2016 meeting — to which he brought campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Trump adviser Jared Kushner — but downplayed its significance. “Obviously I’m the first person on a campaign to ever take a meeting to hear info about an opponent,” he wrote on Twitter Monday morning, adding that the meeting “went nowhere” but that he “had to listen.”

Many Trump critics claimed that the NYT report supported the theory that members of the Trump campaign were somehow involved in the Russian government’s hacking of Clinton campaign chair John Podesta and the Democratic National Committee.

But Trump Jr., Kushner and Manafort’s lone meeting with the Russian lawyer pales when compared to the coordination between Clinton allies and Ukrainian government officials who hoped to see Clinton win the 2016 election.

Yeah, but that’s different. Kinda like locker room boy talk is more serious than stains on a blue dress. Yeah, that kind of different.

The amusing thing is that the person we KNOW colluded with the Russians and sold us out was Hillary Clinton and media doesn’t care.

Only Democrats are allowed to conduct opposition research. It is illegal to do opposition research against Democrats.

Everybody knows that.

The goal is to create Russian Relativism

Everybody did it

However lost in the shuffle is the emerging fact that Seth Rich is the one murdered for the DNC email release

There will be no justice so long as Hillary is alive

Russian lawyer wanted to talk about adoptions and had no connection to Kremlin.

Dirty Democrats, lazy ass Republicans, make me sick

When a leftist accuses, it means they are doing it, projection all the way down, every time.

Eric Bolling's book "The Swamp" mentions Podesta’s ongoing business deals in exchange for Sec Hillary's official favors.......AND the uranium sale and numerous meetings to secure favors and Clinton Foundations in exchange for favorable official policies by Obama and Hillary.

Podesta needs to be under intense scrutiny.....he's no shrinking violet.

<><>The Podesta Brothers Lobbying Group received $900,000 in 2011/12 from the "European Centre for a Modern Ukraine, a Brussels-based organization sympathetic to Viktor Yanukovych and his political party".

<><> The Podesta Brothers Lobbying Group represent (as of 2016) the interests of Russia's largest financial institution Sberbank of Russia, which controls approximately 30 percent of Russian banking assets.

<><> The Podesta Brothers Lobbying Group carries out public relations work for the government of Azerbaijan (once a part of the USSR) for a monthly fee of USD 60,000 plus expenses.

PODESTA AND FAMILY GORGING AT THE PUBLIC TROUGH

-- Podesta's brother Tony and John's PR outfit pocketed 200,000 PER MONTH from the Saudis; Tony is under FBI investigation --Podesta's SIL Heather was raking it in from State while John was A TAX-PAID EMPLOYEE AT THE STATE DEPT. -- Podesta’s daughter's CALI FINANCIAL OUTFIT was the holding place for his Russian energy company STOCK.

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

RECAP---A leaked Jan. 3, 2014 document shows that Podesta transferred more than 25,000 of 75,000 shares of Joule Technologies---a Russian-connected firm---to Leonidio Holdings LLC. Leonidio Holdings, LLC, is listed w/ an address at his daughter's Megan Rouse’s Shannon Court home in Dublin, California. Rouse operates Megan Rouse Financial Planning from that same address.

The inference is to money laundering, perhaps tax evasion. Suggests that Megan Rouse's father, John Podesta, hid stocks connected to Russia.

Documents show that Podesta received 75,000 shares of Joule Unlimited Technologies......an outfit which was linked to alleged money laundering by the Russian government, according to media reports.

Why isn’t there a major push by the right to investigate and publicize the Podesta ties to Russia and the Hillary and Clinton Foundation ties to Russia?

Please. Those tepid ass-clowns couldn’t make a hit playing T-ball.

Too many hands in the cookie jar for any *real* investigation. Plus, w/ Sessions asleep at the helm, nothings going anywhere fast.

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. (hat tip NYT)

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."

No, but he is a snarling, snapping rabid weasel...he certainly looks the part.

No one is “forgetting.” Democrats do such things for noble reasons- for Peace on Earth and Global Harmony.Non Democrats do it for mean selfish, nefarious and racist reasons.
