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:

If Sessions has recused himself from all things Russian, then wouldn’t it fall on someone else to override the non-disclosure agreement?
You mean, like Rosenstein or McCabe?
Perhaps he doesn’t want the informant to commit Arkancide?
The President can remove that order as well. Just keep in mind people who have the goods on Hillary or Putin conviently die
Everybody has their fingers in this.
conveniently
Exactly. I’m sure McCain knows.
“...Perhaps he doesn’t want the informant to commit Arkancide?...”
My thoughts exactly. The Toons have left a very long body trail behind them protecting them from prison. Let us hope this is real...this time.
I would think that removing the gag order would necessarily require 24/7 armed security (by security that can be trusted) for the informant and family.
Maybe (hopefully) Sessions’ delay is working out the logistics.
Let’s face it - the Clinton goons are seasoned professionals.
Well, since they are involved in the whole mess, that didn’t seem likely....so the president himself has no power to do anything about such a twisted mess?
Protecting his Congress Critter friends ?
From the transcript: C-Span...
(sorry about the CAPS. That is how they do their transcripts)
CHAIRMAN GRASSLEY:
I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION THAT LOOKS LIKE HISTORY, BUT IT WAS IN THE NEWS RECENTLY.
YESTERDAY, I BELIEVE, ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS AND RECENT NEWS REPORTS, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT HAS AN ONGOING CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION FOR BRIBERY, EXTORTION, AND MONEY LAUNDERING INTO OFFICIALS FOR THE RUSSIAN COMPANY MAKING THE PURCHASE OF URANIUM ONE.
THAT PURCHASE WAS APPROVED DURING THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION AND RESULTED IN THE RUSSIANS OWNING 20% OF AMERICA’S URANIUM MINING CAPACITY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO FIND OUT HOW THE RUSSIAN TAKEOVER OF THE AMERICAN URANIUM WAS ALLOWED TO OCCUR, DESPITE CRIMINAL CONDUCT BY THE RUSSIAN COMPANY THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION APPROVED TO MAKE THE PURCHASE?
A.G. SESSIONS:
MR. CHAIRMAN, WE WILL HEAR YOUR CONCERNS. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WILL TAKE SUCH ACTIONS AS IS APPROPRIATE, I KNOW, AND I WOULD OFFER THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE GONE TO JAIL IN THAT TRANSACTION ALREADY, BUT THE ARTICLE TALKS ABOUT OTHER ISSUES.
SO WITHOUT CONFIRMING OR DENYING THE EXISTENCE OF ANY PARTICULAR INVESTIGATION, I WOULD SAY THAT I HEAR YOUR CONCERNS AND THEY WILL BE REVIEWED.
CHAIRMAN GRASSLEY:
I THINK I KNOW WHY YOU ARE PROBABLY RELUCTANT TO GO INTO SOME DETAIL ON THAT, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT DEPUTY ATTORNEY ROSENSTEIN DIRECTLY SUPERVISED A CRIMINAL CASE WHEN HE WAS U.S. ATTORNEY IN MARYLAND.
I DO NOT THINK IT WOULD BE PROPER FOR HIM TO SUPERVISE A REVIEW OF HIS OWN CONDUCT, DO YOU?
A.G. SESSIONS:
IT WOULD BE HIS DECISION. HE IS A MAN OF INTEGRITY AND ABILITY. IF HE FEELS HE HAS AN INABILITY TO PROCEED WITH ANY INVESTIGATION, IT WOULD BE HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE THAT DETERMINATION, AND SHOULD CONSULT, AS I TOLD YOU I WOULD AND AS I HAVE DONE, WITH THE SENIOR ETHICS PEOPLE AT THE DEPARTMENT.
CHAIRMAN GRASSLEY:
REPORTS SUGGEST THAT THE CLINTON FOUNDATION RECEIVED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES IN THE TRANSACTION. BILL CLINTON RECEIVED $500,000 FOR A SPEECH IN MOSCOW, JUNE 2010, FROM THE RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT ALIGNED BANK, THE SAME MONTH THAT RUSSIA BEGAN THE URANIUM ACQUISITION PROCESS.
THIS FACT PATTERN RAISES SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT IMPROPER POLITICAL INFLUENCE ON THE PROCESS BY THE PREVIOUS — BY THE CLINTONS DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
HAS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FULLY INVESTIGATED WHETHER THE RUSSIANS COMPROMISED THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’S DECISIONS TO SMOOTH THE WAY FOR TRANSACTIONS, AND IF NOT, WHY NOT?
A.G. SESSIONS:
WE ARE WORKING HARD TO MAINTAIN DISCIPLINE IN THE DEPARTMENT.
IT WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO COMMENT ON ANY ONGOING INVESTIGATION.

He’s in more danger by not testifying with the traitors knowing he can always testify in the future.
I’m starting to get pissed at Trump over this (and everything else Sessions). It’s WELL past time to fire Sessions. I don’t care if it creates a firestorm. How bad can it be compared to the constant firestorm? And like everything else, it’ll pass.
C’mon Trump! Pull the pin already!
Like I said in an earlier post - Sessions is up to his neck in Bill and Hillary’s uranium deal, and he is, therefore, a collaborator in their scheme and should not only be removed, but tried and convicted of treason. Not that that will ever happen.
Why is Jeff Sessions hiding the Uranium One informant?
(Just guessing.)
Oh come on folks, why would he ever allow this informant to testify?? Whats next, should Sessions give back his cut just to prosecute all his friends for Treason??
No NDA can prevent an individual from testifying before Congress. Sen. Grassley needs to subpoena Toensing to appear with her client.
