Team Obama’s stunning cover-up of Russian crimes
NY Post ^ | October 17, 2017 | Post Editorial Board

Posted on 10/17/2017 9:40:06 PM PDT by Oshkalaboomboom

It turns out the Obama administration knew the Russians were engaged in bribery, kickbacks and extortion in order to gain control of US atomic resources — yet still OK’d that 2010 deal to give Moscow control of one-fifth of America’s uranium. This reeks.

Peter Schweizer got onto part of the scandal in his 2015 book, “Clinton Cash”: the gifts of $145 million to the Clinton Foundation, and the $500,000 fee to Bill for a single speech, by individuals involved in a deal that required Hillary Clinton’s approval.

The New York Times confirmed and followed up on Schweizer’s reporting — all of it denounced by Hillary as a partisan hit job. But now The Hill reports that the FBI in 2009 had collected substantial evidence — eyewitnesses backed by documents — of money-laundering, blackmail and bribery by Russian nuclear officials, all aimed at growing “Vladimir Putin’s atomic-energy business inside the United States” in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

The bureau even flagged the routing of millions from Russian nuclear officials to cutouts and on to Clinton, Inc.

Hillary Clinton, again, sat on a key government body that had to approve the deal — though she now claims she had no role in a deal with profound national-security implications, and during the campaign called the payments a coincidence.

The Obama administration — anxious to “reset” US-Russian relations — kept it all under wraps, refusing to tell even top congressional intelligence figures.

And when the Obamaites in 2014 filed low-level criminal charges against a single individual over what the FBI found, they did so with little public fanfare.

“The Russians were compromising American contractors in the nuclear industry with kickbacks and extortion threats, all of which raised legitimate national-security concerns,” one veteran of the case told The Hill.

why would you be shocked the NY Post reported on this. They are RINOs but they’re better than 90 percent of what’s out there.

”If Mueller does not address this, he is a fraud and a political hack”

Don’t hold your breath as Mueller was instrumental in seeing that the wheels were greased.

The Devil's Disciples.

Going to the Rose Garden----Obama formally nominated James Comey as the seventh FBI
director and thanked his predecessor, Robert Mueller, for being "an exemplary public servant."

The Mueller Investigation is Getting Desperate to Find A Crime, Any Crime.

As more information comes out about the illegal spying by the Obama Administration, Mueller is under more and more pressure to find or make up a crime related to President Trump. (Excerpt) Read more at thegatewaypundit.com ...

REALITY CHECK--Mueller's midnight raid operation on Trump associate, Paul Manafort, is actually VERY instructive. Looks to me like the desperate Obamanoids have reached new heights of paranoia.

Obama's paranoid and Mueller's desperate b/c Trump holds ALL the secrets of the dirty Obama presidency. In the hands of a lesser man than Trump, they might not have a thing to worry about.

Unfortuntely for them, the heinous "legacy" of the Obama presidency is writ large.....so much damage inflicted in so little time.

Obama has turned every federal agency into a political weapon: the FBI, the IRS, NSA, CIA, the UN, even the FISA court.

Trump now holds all of Obama's secrets. Secrets about Obama and his factotums weaponizing and corrupting everything good about democracy for their insatiable thirst for power, for their despicable "progressive" ideology, their obsession w/ a permanent Democrat majority, and for their twisted political ambitions.

We, the people, will make very sure that the Obama Crime Syndicate's activities prove to be their undoing.

Question for anyone;
Where is the uranium ?
Has it been dug up ?

If it’s still in the ground in, say, New Mexico or Colorado or Canada, the US should say “Naaah.”

It's about time the Obama Crime Syndicate and his Police State operations are investigated.

We are beginning to get a better picture of how sinister the Obama operation really is (its still functioning via OFA). The genesis of the Democrats' "win at any cost" odious Russia misinformation campaign is suddenly clearer.

BACKSTORY Through the last half of 2016, the Obama administration was desperately searching for evidence of some link between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia.

<><> They went to great lengths, falsifying requests, twice seeking, then finally obtaining, a court-ordered FISA, that allowed them to spy on at least one Trump associate.

<><> We now know that Obama's NSA henchman, Susan "The Sifter" Rice, had an operation wherein raw NSA intelligence was sifted through for names of Trump associates, in hopes of uncovering dirt of some sort. These efforts came up dry. The Obama administration found no compromising information about Trump or any of his associates.

<><> Ever since the Trump Inauguration, the Democratic Party, especially its NY/DC press wing, has relentlessly pushed the Trump/Russia story. But that hasn’t stopped Democrat factotums in the press from talking about little else for the last three months.

<><>This is the kicker----- all along, the Democrats have known that their spying produced nothing.

This whole Obama/Comey/Mueller/Democrat spy apparat is almost unbelievably sordid. The relevant Congressional committees should investigate thoroughly, and criminal prosecutions should follow where laws have been broken.

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

The tumultuous events that unfolded after the election and reelection of Barack Obama bring to mind the words of author Mary Shelley when her character, Victor Frankenstein, says:

“I live in daily fear lest the evil monster whom I created should perpetrate some new wickedness.”

“My, my, my:...”

And who wrote the memo recommending that President Trump fire Comey? Rod Rosenstein

And what transpired after the firing? Mueller was appointed and the investigation opened - just as they had all planned! (all= Rosenstein, Mueller, McCabe and Comey).

Surely the Presiddent’s lawyers can figure this out if we can.

One would hope so, but I’m not holding my breath. Remember these are swamp creatures who have survived for years dwelling in the cesspool swamp. So, unfortunately, I don’t see much happening short of a true peoples revolution, and the chance of that happening are slim to none!

I suspect this information finally becoming officially known as opposed to widely known but without official confirmation is why Mueller & C0. was allowed to proceed with what looked like and probably was an establishment attempt to dethrone Trump. With no substance to find, the frantic digging had to throw up this particular dirt eventually and, because Trump and the Trumpists are NOT the source, but rather the source is Mueller who was put in place to kill the king, the information cannot now be be denied even to the liberal hoi polloi without claiming that Mueller et al are a Trump creation.
