FBI was surprised but took no action after Bill Clinton took $500,000 from Russian bank while...
Daily Mail ^ | 10/23/17 | Nikki Schwab

When former President Bill Clinton received a $500,000 check from a Kremlin-linked bank in 2010 to give a speech in Moscow it served, to the FBI, as further evidence the Russians had unleashed an influence campaign designed to get access to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The Hill newspaper reported Sunday night that the FBI had been keeping close tabs on a Russian spy network that was trying to inch closer to the Clintons at the dawn of the Obama administration, with one spy – who was eventually arrested and deported – briefly posing successfully as an American accountant and working for a top Democratic donor.

FBI agents were 'surprised by the timing and size,' the Hill wrote, of Bill Clinton's half-million dollar speech, which has raised conflict-of-interest questions about Hillary Clinton, as the transaction occurred around the same time she was being asked to sign off on a uranium deal, which gave Russia 20 percent of the U.S.'s deposits.

There is no evidence that the FBI thought the Clintons did anything illegal – and many of the moves the Russians made were also in plain sight, such as the hiring of lobbyists.

But there was proof the Russians were trying to get access to the former first couple.

He didn’t go there for 500k. That was just a tip. He went there to nail down details of the deal, in person, and in private. That’s my take.

We were all standing there, amazed. No one knew quite what to say. Special Agent Hardwick's jaw was hanging open, and Special Agent in Charge Scoville was banging her head against the wall over and over, which was causing the portrait of President Obama to tilt to one side.

Something is really wrong somewhere when Russians show up as American accountants, Pakistani whatevers as Congressional computer experts etc. Are these people naïve, stupid or what?

It's not like Bill/Hill are shrouded constantly in scandal after scandal. I mean, if they were, I could understand the FBI arresting either/both of the Clintons. Theyz squeaky clean. Really.

It didn’t bother the same FBI to stand guard on the tarmac while Bubba and Loretta talked grand kids.

The real reason no one will go after the Clintons or Obama is that EVERYONE in the District of Corruption is complicit in the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

There is no one that is not complicit in the violation of the Constitution to go after them.

It would take down BOTH parties and the entire government.

There will be no prosecutions.

Hi.

Since the thread was small, and didn’t see anyone answer, I thought I would take a stab at it.

“Attorney General in 2010 was....

Director of the FBI in 2010 was....”

Eric “theRed,” Holder, and Mr. Russia Trump collusion himself, Robert Mueller.

For posterity Mr. Comey and Rosenstein are accomplices.

Drain the f’en swamp, Jeff.

Maybe the FBI can change names to:

Federal Bureau of Being Surprised

FBBS

How’s THAT, I wonder.

How terribly sexist to think that Bill’s good fortune would influence his utterly altruistic wife.

Imagine the uproar if President Trump was anywhere near something like this.
