Rubio Defends FBI on Trump Probe — They Were Investigating ‘Suspicious’ Individuals
breitbart ^ | PAM KEY

Posted on 05/27/2018 9:08:36 AM PDT by davikkm

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Sen Marco Rubio (R-FL) defended the FBI’s action during the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump by saying they were investigating individuals with suspicious histories connected to Russia.

Rubio said, “As far as what I have seen to date, it appears that there was an investigation not of the campaign but of certain individuals who have a history that we should be suspicious of that predate the presidential campaign of 2015, 2016.”

He continued, “When individuals like that are in the orbit of a major political campaign in America, the FBI, who is in charge of counterintelligence investigations, should look at people like that. But they’re not investigating the campaign. They’re investigating those people.”

Rubio is a typical RINO puke in the mold of McCain. He certainly can’t be trusted.

John Podesta’s Payoff for Helping Hillary Give American Military Technology to Russia’s Putin

TheNewAmerican.com ^ | October, 2016 | Bob Adelmann

As part of just-inaugurated President Obama’s new foreign policy to improve relations between the United States and Russia, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in March 2009. Meeting in her hotel’s Salon Panorama in Geneva, she presented him with a small gift box containing a bright red button symbolizing the Obama administration’s desire to “reset” the relationship between the two governments.

Thus began an effort to transfer American technology to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s own “Silicon Valley,” called Skolkovo.

In a report released in late July by the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) entitled From Russia With Money, authors Stephen Bannon and Peter Schweitzer reviewed the long sordid history of the technology transfer from companies such as Google, Intel, and Cisco of hi-tech technology with useful military applications.

The report quoted warnings from the FBI and the U.S. Army Foreign Military Studies Program at Fort Leavenworth that the transfer would work against American interests. Warned the U.S. Army:

[The “reset” would serve as] a vehicle for world-wide technology transfers to Russia in the areas of information technology, biomedicine, energy, satellite and space technology, and nuclear technology.

It was clearly a “quid pro quo” arrangement: 17 of the 28 companies involved in the technology transfer gave millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation or to Bill Clinton for giving some speeches.

When those authors, both of whom are affiliated with Breitbart News, summed up their conclusions, one question remained: “The GAI investigative report says it’s unclear how much, if any, money [John] Podesta made.” Podesta, having served the Clintons for years, first as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and then as counselor to President Obama and finally as Hillary’s campaign chairman, deserved a payoff.

But it wasn’t clear until the latest batch of e-mails provided by WikiLeaks went public last week that Americans now know. For his efforts Podesta received thousands of shares of common and preferred stock in one of the companies involved in the transfer. The fact came to light when WikiLeaks published e-mails Podesta sent to the company ordering it to transfer his shares to a shell corporation he had created a month earlier.

The e-mails included a letter Podesta wrote to the corporate secretary of that company instructing him to retitle 33,693 shares of preferred stock to Leonidio Holdings, LLC, a corporation that Podesta (or one of his staff) created using a Corporation Service Company to hide the shares from public view.

The company that gave Podesta the stock shares, Joule Unlimited, claims to be a producer of “alternative” energy technology that will eventually be able to produce energy that will be competitive with oil priced at $50 a barrel. It was a recipient of millions of Putin’s rubles as one of the gang of companies working to transfer American technology to Russia, one of America’s enemies.

As Schweizer told the New York Post in an interview in July:

The Clintons, they get their donations and speaking fees in the millions of dollars. The Russians get access to advanced US technology. The tech companies get special access to the Russian market and workforce….

All I ask is that people look at the money. Who made the deals, who benefited from the deals?

Thanks to WikiLeaks the “people” now know the name of at least one of those who participated in the deals and how he benefited from them: John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign manager.

WikiLeaks Show How Clinton Campaign Chair John Podesta Became ‘Business Partners with Vladimir Putin’

“...WikiLeaks emails provide proof that the “Clintons have a long and lucrative history of financial deals with the Russians, particularly with the Russian government.”
Schweizer explained the “deep ties” the Clintons have to Russia, specifically how in 2010 then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton approved the sale and transfer of 20% of U.S. uranium output to the Russian government ...”

Not sure if you can take a gay bubble-bath in The Swamp, but apparently Marco has succeeded.

Does this include investigating folks in campaigns whose political careers began in the homes of anti-American terrorists? Or who associated with radical anti-American preachers? Or who had documented histories of felonious drug use?

Or whose early supporters include American politicians who offered assistance to the head of the Soviet Union to sabotage the foreign policy and national interests of the United States in order to defeat the incumbent president from the opposing party in a general election?

Rubio is an idiot, just look at who was deciding what people in the Trump campaign looked suspicious and where the trumped up evidence came from that made them look suspicious.

Now that McCain’s on his deathbed, Little Marco will be feuding with Lindsey Graham for the title of Head RINO. The problem for Little Marco is that GOP margins in Florida are a lot thinner than those in South Carolina. If he pisses of Trump supporters, he’ll be an ex-senator soon enough, no matter how many primaries he wins. And senatorial nominees who lose in the general don’t generally get another chance.

Maybe he’s angling for another shot at the White House in 2020. Can you say delusions of grandeur? If he thinks by slamming Trump he’ll win the nomination, he’s seriously deluded. I’m starting to dislike Rubio roughly as much as I dislike Schumer.

I wonder which Rubio fits, a lengthy devastating blackmail file, or just sold his soul to the globalist oligarchy?

Rubio is such a dumbass. Hey, Marko, Hillary claims the DNC server was hacked by Russians. Plus, Democrats claim that the Russians stole Podesta’s emails.

WHY THE HELL WASN’T A ‘SPY’ PLACED IN THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN?

God I hate these stupid Republicans

Rubio's comment helps explain Jeff Sessions. The DOJ Obama appointed lawyers tell them that it was a legitimate investigation, and they believe it. Or they don't believe it but they are afraid to act like it wasn't.

I think that best explains Jeff Sessions. Afraid to be called an obstructionist. Cowering under his desk while the Rod Rosenstein and the Obama appointed DOJ lawyers run the show.
