Nunez on Bartiromo: Clinton State Dept confidantes passed oppo research to FBI for investigation
FoxNews ^ | April 22, 2018 | Me

Posted on 04/22/2018 7:35:01 AM PDT by Brilliant

Did anyone else just watch Nunez on Bartiromos show? He was talking about how the FBIs Trump investigation got started. Apparently the evidence shows that Clinton associates Blumenthal and Shear gave opposition research on Trump to Clinton confidantes in the State Dept who then passed it onto the FBI to serve as information to begin an investigation.

Yes, I agree with that and it is what I have said, that his recusal is from anything to do with the campaigns of 2016.

The other poster says he recused himself from anything to do with Hillary Clinton. That is not true, based on his recusal letter.

What the other poster is saying is true. Hillary is directly "related" to the campaign of 2016. All of her maters are related. Uranium One, Clinton Foundation...etc.

Reread, please:

‘I’m not a hair-splitter. A person says something, I believe them unless they are known liars.’

Trump is the antithesis of a known liar. I certainly accept what he says. Here’s an example:

“Sessions should have never recused himself and if he was going to recuse himself he should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody else.”

It doesn’t really help Trumps case though for him to trash his own attorney general.

It should be painfully obvious by now, that Sessions isn't Trump's Attorney General.

He's belonged to the Deep State since the moment he recused himself.

But then Sessions directed DOJ personnel to investigate Uranium One and the Clinton Foundation.

If he were recused from Hillary Clinton, he would not do that.

FBI James Comey’s brother Peter is connected to the Clinton Foundation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A review of FBI Director James Comey’s professional history and relationships shows that the Obama cabinet leader — now under fire for his handling of the investigation of Hillary Clinton — is deeply entrenched in the big-money cronyism culture of Washington, D.C. His personal and professional relationships — all undisclosed as he announced the Bureau would not prosecute Clinton — reinforce bipartisan concerns that he may have politicized the criminal probe.

These concerns focus on

<><> millions of dollars that Comey accepted from a Clinton Foundation defense contractor,

<><> Comey’s former membership on a Clinton Foundation corporate partner’s board,

<><> his financial relationship with his brother Peter Comey,

<><> Peter Comey works at the law firm that does the Clinton Foundation’s taxes.

Q has gradually led the followers into mass deception. Trump trashes Sessions and Q persuades them that the really ‘smart’ people know it’s all an act. Pathetically in need of being considered ‘smart,’ the Q followers fall right in line.

They are reaching levels of cognitive dissonance that shouldn’t even be possible.

The 5 most outrageous things Hillary Clinton said in her FBI interview
CNBC ^ | 02 September 2016 | Jake Novak / FR Posted by Lorianne

Here are five of the most outrageous statements Clinton made in that three-and-a-half hour FBI interview:

1. She cited her 2012 concussion as the reason that she cannot remember details of briefings during her “transition out of office.”

2. She said she never even thought whether emails she exchanged on a future U.S. drone attack should be classified.

3. She said she thought the “C” before a paragraph indicated alphabetical order. The C actually stands for “classified.”

4. She said no one ever raised concerns to her about her use of a private email server.

5. She said she could not recall any training on how to handle classified information.

What’s more, Clinton aides told the FBI that the Secretary of State frequently replaced her Blackberry phone and the whereabouts of her old device would become “unknown.” The FBI report suggests there were at least 13 different devices used.

Observer: Sidney Blumenthal ‘Was Reading Above-Top-Secret NSA Reports Hours After They Appeared’

SOURCE http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2016/09/06/sidney-blumenthal-reading-top-secret-nsa-reports/ ^

FR posted by blam / September 6, 2016

Former NSA officer John Schindler reports on a devastating fact NOT mentioned in the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton conducting State Department business on an unsecure homebrew email server. From the Observer:

[Sidney] Blumenthal’s email read exactly like classified NSA reporting, as anybody acquainted with our SIGINT would immediately recognize. As one veteran agency official told me back in January, Blumenthal’s email was NSA information with “at least 90 percent confidence.”

Which was no coincidence, since an NSA investigation subsequently determined that Blumenthal’s Sudan assessment was derived from their reporting—in some cases verbatim. As I reported in March, NSA concluded that Blumenthal’s Sudan report came from four different agency SIGINT reports, all classified Top Secret/SCI. Then it got worse:

At least one of those reports was issued under the GAMMA compartment, which is an NSA handling caveat that is applied to extraordinarily sensitive information (for instance, decrypted conversations between top foreign leadership, as this was). GAMMA is properly viewed as a SIGINT Special Access Program, or SAP, several of which Clinton compromised in another series of her “unclassified” emails.

NSA had no doubt that Blumenthal somehow got his hands on some of their “crown jewels” information. “It’s word-for-word, verbatim copying,” an agency official of them explained. “In one case, an entire paragraph was lifted from an NSA report” that was classified Top Secret/SCI. To add to the mystery, Sid emailed Hillary his “personal” assessment on Sudan only hours after some of those classified NSA reports were issued. (snip)(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...

There’s never going to be a raid on Hillary’s house. She’s a first lady, wife of a former President, and it doesn’t matter who the AG is, another president, even Trump, is never going to allow it because they will protect the office of the presidency at the expense of justice *every single time.*

You are setting yourself up for disappointment by even entertaining the thought perhaps because we all enjoy the thought very much and cheered when Trump made the jail comment in the debate.

But it was always hoped for unicorn sightings.
Comey and his coven made certain of that by giving plea deals to all the right conspirators/witnesses, and by giving them time to destroy everything, so that getting a successful prosecution on what remains untainted would be incredibly difficult an will take years and years, even if it wasn’t politically charged. It’s not a simple white collar crime case, more like a mafia conspiracy case, the mother of all mafia cases made far more complicated by the involvement of a UK official and one of their spooks, and the importance of our “special relationship.” Add an Australian official. International eavesdropping. This is why this isn’t going to end soon, tied up in a neat package, no matter who the AG is. It’s not just a mafia case, it’s also a diplomatic and espionage case.

And that’s not even touching the Russian and Ukrainian end of the turd, or the Iran and Uranium mess... or the Awan mess which involves diplomacy in Pakistan and Hezbollah... a fumble in any one of these cases will impact the others because they are interconnected.

This is not a simple bank robbery.

Even worse it involves yet another President, Obama.

For darn sure Trump will never go after Obama even if Obama openly bragged about his involvement. It’ll never happen, even if your fantasy pick for AG, whoever he is, had the job, because Trump won’t go that far, especially in his 1st term.

You’ll have to settle for smaller fish and due to the complexity, and a long wait for anyone meaty to end up on the hook. Some people definitely need to go to jail to turn the cancer around... but I wouldn’t expect it to be Hillary, because it would be unprecedented, she’s arguably insane and nature will likely get her first, and Trump has other fish to fry, even Sessions does.

Other crime and terrorist plots didn’t just pause while the Democrats ran their coup campaign.

Like maybe finishing the unsolved USS Cole investigation, etc. The FBI hasn’t even solved that one yet. Even the anthrax case is still mostly unexplained along with some ricin mailings against the Bush White House are unsolved [as far as the public’s ben told] .

"People keep buying what Slimey Blumenthal keeps selling. Pathetic."

And his son Max Blumenthal is just as bad. I had to laugh when the Clinton campaign denounced the son's horrible statements about Elie Wiesel. He's Pro-Palestinian and a self-loathing Jew. On one hand they denounce the son, but then Hillary hangs tight with Sid Vicious. The kid learned his bad habits from somebody, probably his father. And I don't doubt that the kid was, and has been involved in his father's dirty tricks for Hillary. It's all about appearance for the Clintons, not the truth.

Secretive ‘Green Company’ Forced to Close Because Hillary Lost the Election Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | October 22, 2017 | Richard Pollock / FR Posted by kevcol

"Joule Unlimited," a secretive green energy company that appears to have placed a big bet hiring Democratic insider John Podesta to its board, appears to have been doomed when former Secy of State Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election. Dmitry Akhanov, the president and CEO of Rusnano USA Inc, a Kremlin-owned venture capital firm nicknamed “Putin’s child,” oversaw the Russian govt’s investment in Joule and sat on its board along with two other Russians with ties to the Kremlin. Akhavov agreed that Clinton’s loss doomed the company. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycallernewsfoundation.org ...

ITEM Podesta’s daughter's CALI FINANCIAL OUTFIT was the holding place for his Russian energy company STOCK.

=============================================

RECAP---A leaked Jan. 3, 2014 document shows that Podesta transferred more than 25,000 of 75,000 shares of Joule Technologies---a Russian-connected firm---to Leonidio Holdings LLC.

Leonidio Holdings, LLC, is listed w/ an address at his daughter's Megan Rouse’s Shannon Court home in Dublin, California. Rouse operates Megan Rouse Financial Planning from that same address.

The inference is to money laundering, perhaps tax evasion. Suggests that Megan Rouse's father, John Podesta, hid stocks connected to Russia.

Documents show that Podesta received 75,000 shares of Joule Unlimited Technologies......an outfit which was linked to alleged money laundering by the Russian government, according to media reports.

Podesta needs to be under intense scrutiny.....he's no shrinking violet.

BOMBSHELL: Confidential Informant Claims Obama Was Briefed on Uranium One
TruthFeed.com ^ | October 26, 2017 | BY EREN MORENO / / FR Posted by b4its2late

A confidential informant has confirmed that the FBI’s report documenting Russia’s uranium crimes was included in Obama’s daily briefing. The lawyer for the confidential informant who helped the FBI gather evidence that Russian nuclear officials engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion, and money laundering, says that her client was told that the FBI’s report documenting the crimes was included in former President Barack Obama’s daily briefing.

Victoria Toensing confirmed to Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Tuesday night that it appears as though Robert Mueller, Rod Rosenstein, James Comey, Barack Obama, and Eric Holder all knew about the FBI evidence that Russian officials were engaged in criminal activities to corner the market on uranium. “My client was told this information,” Toensing said. “Now whether the Bureau was bluffing, I don’t think so, because they were very specific, they said ‘the briefing made it into President Obama’s daily briefing papers’ so I don’t think they made that up.”

Toensing proceeded to say that with all the new information that has come to light in recent weeks about the Uranium One deal that a special counsel is needed to further conduct a criminal investigation. Toensing may have gotten her wish as Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) called for the DOJ to appoint a special counsel to investigate the Uranium One deal on Tuesday.

To my mind, the most incriminating thing is Billy's infamous "pass-through account." Unknown bundles of money deposited and emptied the same day....whereabouts unknown. STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE--- Billybooboo's infamous "WJC LLC" pass-through account. Funds just disappear, and no scrutiny involved.Funds passing through Billybooboo's WJC LLC could end up in: (a) offshore accounts, (b) money market accounts, (c) hedge funds, (d) another foundation account, (e) assorted investment accounts....without garnering public scrutiny.

==================================================

That certainly explains OBAMA'S ACADEMY-AWARD WORTHY ACT.

He acts like he "knows nothing." Obama didn't even know about this (snix).

PIC Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks
facilitated by Secy Clinton, as Bill globe-trotted to set up the deal.

"Hahahaha. US ntl security? Hahahaha. You gotta be kidding, Vlad."

I'm interested in finding out more about the statement in the criminal referral letter from Congress members to Sessions, Wray, and Huber regarding Loretta Lynch's threatening of a former FBI informant with reprisal, who tried to come forward in 2016 with insight into the Uranium One deal.

I've read about her threats to the NYPD to reopen the Eric Garner case if anything about Weiner's laptop was leaked to the press, but I believe this informant is William D. Campbell who is represented by Victoria Toensing. I know Lynch tried to block his testimony prior to the election, but does anyone know what specific threats she made to him? I hope this all eventually comes out, as I'd like to see her head hung on a pike along with the rest of them.

But then Sessions directed DOJ personnel to investigate Uranium One and the Clinton Foundation. If he were recused from Hillary Clinton, he would not do that

I doubt Rosenstein will report the details to Sessions. Sessions is recused.

I watched a YouTube video last night by a guy who believes that Trump's calling Debbie Blabbermouth-Shultz by the first name of Wendy was deliberate, because if he'd tweeted about "Debbie and the DNC's refusal to let the FBI examine the DNC servers", the press would have ignored it, and not reported on the tweet at all. So in order to get media attention, Trump deliberately called her Wendy, instead of Debbie, knowing that the media would jump on the "error" and go with the whole tweet. Makes sense in a crazy sort of way, and Trump likes to play mind games with these people. Maybe that's what he did with the wording that he was being "wire tapped", knowing they'd have to report that...and they did, in detail, making fun of the term he used.

Along this same line, I'm wondering if his comments about Sessions not doing the right thing, etc., is to let the libs think that nothing is being done, when in actuality things are moving ahead, but without it being publicly known. You just have to wonder given all the other times Trump has Trumped the media and Dems with stuff like this. Time will tell.
