Exclusive: Secret witness in Senate Clinton probe is ex-lobbyist for Russian firm
Reuters ^ | November 16, 2017 | by Joel Schectman

Senate Republicans say their investigation of Hillary Clinton’s role in approving a deal to sell U.S. uranium mines to a Russian company hinges in part on the testimony of a secret informant in a bribery and extortion scheme inside the same company.

The Senate committee searching for Clinton’s alleged wrongdoing is keeping their witness’s name cloaked. However, William D. Campbell, a lobbyist, confirmed to Reuters he is the informant who will testify and provide documents to Congress about the Obama Administration’s 2010 approval of the sale of Uranium One, a Canadian company with uranium mines in the United States, to Russia’s Rosatom.

At the time of the sale, Campbell was a confidential source for the FBI in a Maryland bribery and kickback investigation of the head of a U.S. unit of Rosatom, the Russian state-owned nuclear power company. Campbell was identified as an FBI informant by prosecutors in open court and by himself in a publicly available lawsuit he filed last year.

In a telephone interview, Campbell said he wanted to testify because of his concerns about Russia’s activities in the United States, but declined to comment further.

Campbell’s lawyer, Victoria Toensing, who has not previously identified her client, said despite Campbell telling the government ”how corrupt the company was,” Rosatom still got permission to buy Uranium One. She did not say what Campbell would reveal regarding any alleged wrongdoing by Clinton.

Clinton has said the Senate probe is an attempt to shift attention away from special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s alleged role in Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. As the heat from Mueller’s investigation has intensified, Trump has repeatedly called for an inquiry into Clinton and the Russian uranium deal.

I hope he and his lawyers have arranged a comprehensive set of evidence to be made available with a “dead man switch” because all of their lives are in peril.

His identity previous to this report was secret. The headline was defining who he was known to everyone up until now.

When Comey let Crooked Hillary off the hook, we heard that there were many, many rank & file FBI agents who were very angry. Campbell was under cover for many years, but surely there must be more FBI agents who have information they are willing to divulge.

Why would Campbell confirm to Reuters that he is the informant?

I wonder if he really did or is their a leak.

I agree.

She’s a smart cookie, and I think she’s had the Clinton’s number for decades.

I thought I heard his lawyer say on Fox and Friends that he has video evidence.

The mere fact that this person is outing himself is stunning. They have been begging for testimony and now this person throws a monkey wrench into the mix. Clintons are guilty. They are trying to buy their way out again. This person may end up dead or disappeared. Think of his testi mony compared to THE GAUNTLET!
