As Hillary Clinton was beginning her job as President Obama’s chief diplomat, federal agents observed as multiple arms of Vladimir Putin’s machine unleashed an influence campaign designed to win access to the new secretary of State, her husband Bill Clinton and members of their inner circle, according to interviews and once-sealed FBI records.
Some of the activities FBI agents gathered evidence about in 2009 and 2010 were covert and illegal.
A female Russian spy posing as an American accountant, for instance, used a false identity to burrow her way into the employ of a major Democratic donor in hopes of gaining intelligence on Hillary Clinton’s department, records show. The spy was arrested and deported as she moved closer to getting inside the secretary’s department, agents said.
Other activities were perfectly legal and sitting in plain view, such as when a subsidiary of Russia’s state-controlled nuclear energy company hired a Washington firm to lobby the Obama administration. At the time it was hired, the firm was providing hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in pro bono support to Bill Clinton’s global charitable initiative, and it legally helped the Russian company secure federal decisions that led to billions in new U.S. commercial nuclear business, records show.
Agents were surprised by the timing and size of a $500,000 check that a Kremlin-linked bank provided Bill Clinton with for a single speech in the summer of 2010. The payday came just weeks after Hillary Clinton helped arrange for American executives to travel to Moscow to support Putin’s efforts to build his own country’s version of Silicon Valley, agents said.

What did they do? Drag a $100 bill through their trailer park in Chappaqua?
Wake up[ people, this is just cover for themselves. The FBI was NOT conducting surveillance in an effort to thwart anything. It was done for practical reasons. The FBI FACILITATED all of these Illegal payments and bribes, they were running logistics and security for the quislings in the administration.
The Clintons cannot be shamed. They could produce a video of hillary munching Russian carpet and she’d still deny and call it a vast right wing conspiracy.
They shaped the DOJ, FBI, NSA, CIA with their lackies so they could have free reign to break whatever laws they wanted to break.
“Is this SOP? - Why expel them so fast?”
The Fraud sent them back FAST to prevent any truth from emerging.
Big Media and all Democrats worshipped every word their god spoke.
It is trYing to pass as journalism..but they’re either trying to get ahead of the dam about to break..or introduce their own narratibw/take..as in nothing to see here..
The Clintons are the poster children of political corruption. Yes, Bill was disbarred for that and indeed paid a settlement to Paula Jones, (less than 1% of the US population probably knows this due to media silence).
The Clinton foundation if not criminally prosecuted, will open the door to a future of political corruption that will speed up the demise of this nation. There isn’t a single business on earth that would get away with the obvious and blatant corruption of just the one example, the Clinton Foundation.
If Trump/Sessions don’t act, then I frankly don’t see any point in having a nation of laws, constitution, elections, etc....then let anarchy reign and do its job of cleansing the nation.
If there were no “foundation”, the opportunity wouldn’t exist to exploit..
All the Russians had to do was get a stack of bills, tie it with as string and set it out where the Clinton's could see it... then pull the string slowly toward themselves... Bill and Hillary would follow the money off a cliff...
Agreed, what a ridiculous headline.
I tried to get close to her by working as a hot dog vendor in front of the white house.
All that happened was she’d order six a day and I never got the goods :)
Goaded by Republicans, the FBI seems to be getting closer to the center of a lot of the evil in DC and it involves the Clintons (shock and surprise). The Dems are beginning to put up designated fall guys, starting with Tony Podesta. It’s important for the Republicans to note the names of the designated fall guys but continue on the trail to the source of the evil - we can all speculate on the name of that person, but the Republicans should not settle for a quick solution which is short of the real answer. Otherwise, the evil will continue.
I suspect the Clinton’s were expecting more from Vlad and didn’t get it, he ripped them off. I know that is strange as the Clinton’s rip off everyone they can but there is genuine hatred between the C’s and the Moscow midget. Hilliary never would have been so vocal against Pootie if she was still benefiting from their dark relationship.
Now to find what exactly Vlad didn’t do or did that put them at odds. All 3 of them are mega crooks and profited them this uraninum deal.
It sure would be nice if the FBI stick to Law enforcement instead of creating drama and inciting mass murder
Totally agree and have been making similar comments. If we are not a Nation of laws but a Nation with a two tiered justice system, then our Sacred Republic is done.
President Trump and Jeff Sessions - Job one tomorrow is to remove the gag order on the Uranium One informant. You know who we're talking about. Do it today and let him sing to the nation, not just Congress.
The challenge still stands - You either deal with the Clintons and Obama or our Sacred Republic is done. The level of their corruption, dishonesty, sedition and treason . . the sheer magnitude of it is the greatest in our country's history. . To let it slide will be our death knell. Waiting for your responses. Do what you think is right and best for the country, for now and posterity.
We may survive another two hundred years if this corruption and pay-to-play is dealt with. If not, we'll soon be in Banana Republic territory.
Funny though how ever since losing the election,Hillary’s excuse has been the Russians wanted Trump to win!
==============================================================
Nothing funny about it. The Clintons always accuse their adversary of doing what they are guilty of doing. I am surprised that Trump hasn't been accused f destroying an email server yet.
I personnally think they want to tie Hussein Obama to the Clinton crime family. Hillary could never have pulled this off without Obama's support. Clinton will be a footnote in history but Obama's head on a stick will be like Nixon and Watergate.
The real prize in all of this is Hussein Obama. Hussein is still creating havoc in America with his anti American Community Organizer race baiting.
Getting Hillary and the lesser criminals will be footnotes in history but arresting and convicting Hussein Obama will be worth books devoted to the subject. Fortunately, President Trump plays to win the game, not just score some points.
If you remember Perry Mason, he frequently let the criminals make mistakes AFTER the crimes. Obstruction of Justice is sometimes much easier to prove than the original crime. And it usually makes it easy for the jury to see that it was done to hide guilt.
The FBI wastched and did not stop the penetrations. FBI has its own criminal past. Abolish it and start over with a new FBI that will not make any deals with criminals , meaning prosecute and get convictions.
The gagged FBI informant needs to TESTIFY! He needs to go LIVE on national TV, where it can’t be denied, edited after the fact, or redacted. At worst, he’d sit in jail a week or two, if some jerk “judge” sent him there, till Trump pardoned him!
