Why is Jeff Sessions hiding the Uranium One informant?
American Thinker ^ | 10/21/17 | Deniel John Sobieski

Posted on 10/21/2017 7:17:30 AM PDT by markomalley

Perhaps as startling as the revelation that the FBI was investigating the Hillary Clinton/Russia/Uranium One collusion  and that key figures like Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe knew about it and said nothing, is the refusal by Attorney General Jeff Sessions to remove the non-disclosure agreement gag order on the FBI informant who arguably could put Bill and Hillary Clinton and a few others in federal prison. 

It was said the Jeff Sessions recused himself from all things Russian because of election campaign conflicts but is it really because he thought it would insulate him from having to divulge what he knew about Uranium One and the people who at the very least knew about the deal, some who approved the deal, including past and present members of the FBI, the DOJ, and Special Counsel Robert Miller’s team? Is Jeff Sessions part of the Uranium One cover-up? If not, then he needs to explain why he is thus far refusing Sen. Chuck Grassley’s request to lift the gag order imposed by the Obama administration as part of the Uranium One cover-up:

I watched that exchange and it sure looked like Sessions was the Casper Milquetoast of this administration.

Maybe because it IS UNDER INVESTIGATION

WE ARE WORKING HARD TO MAINTAIN DISCIPLINE IN THE DEPARTMENT.

IT WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO COMMENT ON ANY ONGOING INVESTIGATION.

I read this as they are doing an investigation and he is not allowing leaks?

Trump’s release of Kennedy assassination material seems like a dodge away from this other nefariousness.

No, this release date was set way before Trump became president.

And if Trump didn't allow the release as scheduled, the Trump haters would say he caved to the Deep State dingbats to keep the Kennedy files classified like they want.

For Pete’s sake. Is there no common sense, anywhere?

Why does ANY prosecutor hide/protect ANY key witness in ANY case?

People have gone so far off the rails on this stuff they forget basic legal procedures.

Both sides are probably having extensive strategy meetings to discuss how they can get out of this.

I think they know that they have gone down the wrong road by trying to use a special counsel to create a crime serious enough to injure the President.

Now they have become aware to the fact that public sentiment is growing and they all know that the crime and corruption in D.C. runs so deep they cannot let this onion get peeled away.

If they convene a grand jury start calling witnesses who have lawyered up, one of them is bound to break down and trade immunity for spilling the beans. As soon as that witness drops some names, more will come forward to save their own asses and once the cards begin to fall the whole establishment house could crumble. If there was justice, half the beltway could go to jail.

Any connection to the death of the former US Prosecuting Attorney Whisensant, in DWS's Florida district?

Shot in the head but no gun found.

White House goes on offense, slams DNC, Clintons for ‘collusion’

FoxNews.com ^ | July 12, 2017 | Brooke Singman

The White House has been grappling all week with revelations of a meeting the president’s eldest son held last year with Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya, who was said to have dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of a Russian government effort to help the Trump campaign.

But Deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders used Wednesday’s off-camera briefing to highlight DNC and Clinton ties to foreign governments including Russia and Ukraine.

“If we’re looking at Russia relationships with anybody, it would be directly with the Clintons,” she said, citing examples of a speech former President Bill Clinton gave in Russia for which he reportedly earned over $500,000 and reports of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton selling what Sanders described as “a third of the world’s uranium,” to Russia.

Not “both.” Trump HIRED Mueller.

Come on people.

You can’t have it both ways. Either Trump is a babbling idiot who hired his own headsman, or he knew exactly what he was doing when he interviewed Mueller the day before he was hired and gave RR the ok.

1. Trump KNEW he wasn’t guilty, KNEW he hadn’t done anything worth even investigating.

2. He likewise KNEW that there were major corruption issues at the Foundation-—Bannon told me this.

3. He KNEW that if he hired a “right wing cabal” of lawyers and investigators, the only thing being investigated for months would be the investigators. No one would ever be indicted.

4. The only way to protect the investigation of Cankles, Lynch, and Comey (and possibly then the Awans) was to assemble a group that would “appear” to be lib lawyers who were “above reproach” (by the libs) who would be left alone.

5. They have always worked in conjunction with Sessions and a team in DOJ-—JUST LIKE THE HANSSEN TEAM DID.

6. The entire operation had to remain secret. At the first sign of targets being hit, indicted, or put at risk, most would flee, lawyer up, or shred documents. The only way to ensure you get all the evidence is make people think they aren’t at risk.

7. There have been repeated whining articles about the fact that Mulehead’s team “doesn’t leak.” We KNOW Sessions doesn’t leak. Gee, don’t you think if they really were looking at Trump/ his associates the stories would be out daily?

8. Mulehead’s lib team won’t provide perfect insulation, but it will be as close as you can get to defusing the firestorm of screaming by libs when he first drops the indictments.

9. I’ve predicted before: one sign that I’m right is when you see LIBERAL publications (such as the Hill yesterday) begin to run articles attacking Mulehead for “overreach” or a “witch hunt.” FORGET if these are written by conservatives-—look at the outlet. This is a sign that some target has blabbed and is worried, and the fake news media must circle the wagons against a “witch hunt” by Mulehead.

“WE ARE WORKING HARD TO MAINTAIN DISCIPLINE IN THE DEPARTMENT.”

That is the weirdest phrasing. It was obviously carefully worked out. There’s a message in it. But I don’t know what it is.

You need the secret decoder ring, not available in stores, while supplies last ... only $59.95. But wait - hurry and we’ll ship two for the price of one ... amazing offers, hurry. You too can read secret government messages using this special authorized ring.

Sessions decision Not to remove the NDO - INEXPLICABLE

John Roberts reversal of his vote on Obama Care - INEXPLICABLE

Comey's refusal to prosecute Clinton with overwhelming evidence -INEXPLICABLE

Sessions refusal to prosecute Clinton with overwhelming evidence of Hillary being a traitor to the country - INEXPLICABLE

Hillary/Obama has information on these people -NAA?

I was under the impression that Sesssions recused himself from the Russia/Trump investigation, not everything connected with Russia. And the explanation for his recusal was made clear at the time.

As far as not undoing the gag order, the informant is a witness. Best the enemy doesn’t know what the witness knows or will say.

Clear to me. Huge numbers of gov drones are Dems/Hitlery fans and are disruptive, not doing their jobs, have to be kept away from sensitive investigations, etc.

I'd like to believe that. I have all the respect in the world for Trump's cleverness. But, I can't accept that any justice will come of this. I hope you're tight and I'm wrong.
However:

Who supervised the first Russia investigation during Obama? Rod Rosenstein.

Who was the FBI director when the Russia probe began in 2009? Robert Mueller.

Who was running the FBI when the case ended with a whimper and an apparent cover-up? James Comey.

...and the beat goes on

And don’t forget Hilary still has boxes and boxes of FBI files that she stole and copied.

Let's not assume that Trump knows everything.
