House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes told Fox News‘ Sean Hannity Thursday night that he is certain “someone” was running an intelligence operation against the 2016 Trump campaign “on foreign soil,” and that one or more U.S. allies were likely involved.
“I think we can be sure about one thing and that is on foreign soil, someone was running operations against Trump campaign people,” he said.
“Now, we don’t know if that was our government, if it was the British government or some type of firm of some kind, but I think it is definitely a fact that on British soil, maybe on Italian soil, there were activities going on that we need to get to the bottom of.”

The Freedom Of Information Act is US legislation, and as such has no jurisdiction over Australia. There is something very wrong with this story as written. Does Australia have the very same legislation, with the very same name? I highly doubt that.
That is quite a sentence to digest. My imagination runs wild when I think about corporate bad-boys. Some cannot tell the difference between good and evil.
“Now, we don’t know if that was our government, if it was the British governmentor some type of firm of some kind, but I think it is definitely a fact that on British soil, maybe on Italian soil, there were activities going on that we need to get to the bottom of.”

he could be referring to a corporate cut out (like GPS Fusion or Crowdstrike) or disconnect to give plausible deniability to the op.
next to their “foundations” swampers like to use their “contractors” such as:
<><> Fibbers using contractors like Fusion GPS & Crowdstrike in their unmasking op
<><> Fibbers using contractors like Steele,et al
<><> Hildabeast using State Dept “contractors fund” to suck down $6 billion bucks now MIA
<><> PS: thanx Liz, I hope you don’t mind me borrowing
So much of the “inaction” was brought upon us by Sessions and the ongoing Mueller investigation.
The landscape has changed dramatically and there IS a paper trail on most everything. The deep state took decades to assemble, it is not going to change overnight.
Cynicism feeds on itself and cynics tend to be pretty unhappy people.
Things a monumentally different than they were 6 months ago and if you can’t see that then feel free to enjoy wallowing in your self inflicted incredulity.
Sorry, there is absolutely nothing different than six months ago. Criminal Democrats are guilty as sin, free as birds. Graham and the GOP continue to give bipartisan top cover to the Mueller Coup, no Horowitz report, no declas, etc., etc. You want more?
Time to cut to the chase and determine whether the people or the bureaucrats are running this country.
The chase is POTUS does not control the DOJ and he politically he can’t afford to fire everybody on the eve of election season.
I’m going to take Mark Twain’s advice now concerning arguing with a fool.....Have a wonderful morning.
You have to have people worth voting for in the election.
And the GOP has to support the newcomer instead of the incumbent hack.
Dismal prospects, sadly.
I’m going to take Mark Twain’s advice now concerning arguing with a fool.....Have a wonderful morning.
Naturally, all the evidence is on my side and all you have is sunshine pumping speculation.
BTW, I see Mueller’s empanelled grand jury is still operating. They just assaulted one of Roger Stone’s associates on the very day Lindsay Graham was praising Mueller. How pathetic is that?
I do appreciate the warm regards. Same to you. Cheers.
My reading of it: FOIA requests were being done Here.
But they felt the pressure There.....and decided to come clean.
.....more on Australia’s Clinton connection......
news.com.au
The Australian government confirmed to news.com.au it has not renewed any of its partnerships with the scandal-plagued Clinton Foundation, effectively ending 10 years of taxpayer-funded contributions worth more than $88 million.
The Clinton Foundation has a rocky past. It was described as “a slush fund”, is still at the centre of an FBI investigation and was revealed to have spent more than $50 million on travel.
Despite that, the official website for the charity shows contributions from both AUSAID and the Commonwealth of Australia, each worth between $10 million and $25 million.
News.com.au approached the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for comment about how much was donated and why the Clinton Foundation was chosen as a recipient.
A DFAT spokeswoman said all funding is used “solely for agreed development projects” and Clinton charities have “a proven track record” in helping developing countries.
Australia jumping ship is part of a post-US election trend away from the former Secretary of State and presidential candidate’s fundraising ventures.

Norway, one of the Clinton Foundation’s most prolific donors, is reducing its contribution from $20 million annually to almost a quarter of that, Observer reported.
One reason for the drop-off could be increased scrutiny on international donors. The International Business Times reported in 2015 on curious links between donors and State Department approval.
IBT wrote that the State Department approved massive commercial arms sales for countries which had donated to the Clinton charity.
More than $165 billion worth of arms sales were approved by the State Department to 20 nations whose governments gave money to the Clinton Foundation, data shows. The counties buying weapons from the US were the same countries previously condemned for human rights abuses. They included Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
But what does Australia gain from topping up the Clinton coffers? The Australianreported in February that Australia was “the single biggest foreign government source of funds for the Clinton Foundation” but questions remain unanswered about the agreement between the two parties.
“It’s not clear why Canberra had to go through an American foundation to deliver aid to Asian countries (including Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Vietnam). There is now every chance the payments will become embroiled in presidential politics.”
The Daily Telegraph wrote in October that “Lo and behold, (Julia Gillard) became chairman (of the Clinton-affiliated Global Partnership for Education) in 2014”, one year after being defeated in a leadership ballot by Kevin Rudd.
Hillary Clinton’s Foundation has been at the centre of a number of controversies. Australia cutting ties with the Clinton charities is surprising given Foreign Minister Julie Bishop’s years of support.
In a press release dated September 22, 2014, Ms Bishop committed to five years of support for the Clinton Health Access Initiative, the sister organisation of the Clinton Foundation.
“Since 2006, Australia has contributed $88 million to CHAI,” the statement read. The Clinton Foundation has been linked to a number of scandals. One involved Russian uranium, another involved aid to earthquake-hit Haiti and a third involved Swiss banking giant UBS AG.
President-elect Donald Trump promised to follow through with an investigation into the foundation if he became leader of the free world. But this week he backed away from that stance.“I don’t want to hurt the Clintons, I really don’t,’’ he told The New York Times. “She went through a lot and suffered greatly in many different ways, and I am not looking to hurt them at all. The campaign was vicious.”
The Clintons maintain they’ve done nothing wrong. In a statement, spokesman Brian Fallon said no one “has ever produced a shred of evidence supporting the theory that Hillary Clinton ever took action as Secretary of State to support the interests of donors to the Clinton Foundation.”
Clinton Foundation donations funded State Dept approval of arms shipments to repressive governments. During the time Hillary Clinton was America’s Secy of State, she oversaw approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations.....governments that forked over millions of dollars to the now-embattled Clinton Foundation.
According to an International Business Times report by David Sirota and Andrew Perez, “at least seven foreign governments that received State Department clearance for American arms did donate to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary.” The article identified the seven nations as Algeria, Australia, Kuwait, Norway, Oman, Qatar, and Thailand.
Mainstream media’s surprisingly probing coverage of the unfolding Clinton Foundation donations-for-favors scandal suggests that reporters have turned on the Clintons in the age of Obama.
And the fact that the IBT piece was co-authored by Marxist author and radio talk show host David Sirota adds to the growing pile of evidence that some of the more ideologically pure progressives in the Democratic Party are ganging up on Mrs. Clinton in order to help as yet undeclared presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).(Excerpt) Read more at canadafreepress.com ...
(More below--Hillary sucks up to Qatar--arms buyer, and a major Foundation donor.)
==============================
According to the IBT report, “at least seven foreign governments received State Dept clearance for American arms AND are on-record as donors to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary was Secy of State.” Oman and Qatar were named as countries favored for arms sales by Hillary's State Dept.
CIRCA 2002--THE OMAN-QATAR-CLINTON CONNECTION---
The Clinton Foundation took $1,250,000 (that we know of)
from Mideast kingdom--Qatar---(recently exposed as embroiled in FIFA bribery).
The Clinton presidential library in Arkansas lists Brunei, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar as donors that gave between $1 million and $5 million (at the time of research).
The Clinton foundation itself confirmed the 2002 Brunei donation: "The Clinton Foundation's impact would not be possible without the generous support of our donors," the foundation's website reads. "Their contributions have made a difference in the lives of tens of millions across the world." Read more at foxnews.com ...
==============================================
Qatar became the new home of the Gitmo Five via the infamous Bergdahl swap.
==================================================
Hillary later told Fox's Greta Van Susteren that Qatar was "not a threat to the US." Hillary never mentioned Qatar subsidizing the Clinton Library/Foundation.
Hillary's remarks lead some to believe the donation was a payoff....Hillary bribed to defend Qatar....blatantly ignoring America's ntl security interests.
Australian News astutely reported: what does Australia gain from topping up the Clinton coffers to the tune of $25 million as “the single biggest foreign government source of funds for the Clinton Foundation.”
AND THIS: Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop’s press release dated September 22, 2014, committed to five years of support for yet another Clinton money-maker...... the Clinton Health Access Initiative,(CHAI) sister organisation to the Clinton Foundation. Bishop’s statement is shocking: “Since 2006, Australia has contributed $88 million to CHAI,” the statement read.
Many questions remain unanswered about the agreement between Australia and The Clinton Foundation and the enormous exchange of money. “It’s not clear why Canberra had to go through an American foundation to deliver aid to Asian countries (including Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Vietnam).”
(In truth, an incisive question that could be asked of all the foreign government donors to the Clintons.)
PONDER THIS-—Remember Billy’s “pass-through account.” Money rec’d in the AM went out by PM and no record of a transaction. Money could have gone anywhere....hedge fund, another foundation, an offshore bank......a numbered account in Switzerland (when they still used them)......
NOTES We learned a lot from Madoff. When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore-—into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances.
Although he was jailed for running a Ponzi, Madoff’s main purpose was helping billionaire foundations launder money and evade taxes

Blah, blah, blah. Do something about it then.
“there’s a better than 50/50 chance that some will pay”
Sounds like a number that was pulled out of a very dark place.
“The chase is POTUS does not control the DOJ...”
Frankly, that’s an excuse. DOJ is a part of the Executive branch and is subordinate to the President. We could maybe accept that while we had useless Sessions and the Senate refusing to confirm someone else while Mueller held the threat of obstruction charges over Trump’s head if he tried to do anything about it, but none of those things are true anymore. The DOJ should be under Trump’s control now, and if it isn’t, there is only one person to blame.
“Sounds like a number that was pulled out of a very dark place.”
I really have no idea wth you’re meaning is there but considering I had the chances pegged of any justice being done at 1 in 10 six months ago at least in my mind the odds have significantly improved.
I'd settle for some concrete shoes......
