Before weaponizing Russia against Trump, Biden and other Democrats reaped lucrative benefits

While Democrats weaponized invented Russia collusion claims in an attempt to sink President Donald Trump’s first term, in retrospect the party’s leaders have often gone soft on Russia when it wanted to reap financial or political benefits for themselves or allies.

From the Obama-era "Russian Reset" and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Skolkovo investment project to Hunter Biden’s business in Moscow and President Joe Biden’s waiving of sanctions against a Russian pipeline, key Democratic figures reaped political and financial benefits from going soft on Moscow.

Newly declassified documents produced by the FBI and the Department of Justice’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into allegations that then-candidate Trump or members of his campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the 2016 election wholly discredit the probe. For example, one key informant’s account was deemed unreliable, an official disputed a key media narrative, and key source Christopher Steele leaked his infamous dossier to the media.

But in the years before Moscow’s invasion, Democrats enriched themselves politically and personally from Russian oligarchs and businesses in the region while empowering Putin with energy and technology deals that still haunt America today.

President Barack Obama, after taking office in early 2009, set in motion the merging of U.S. business interests with the Russian economy through the famous “reset” in relations between the two powers. Obama’s reset began in 2009 as an effort to cool tensions that had ballooned after Russia’s invasion of its small neighbor Georgia in 2008.

The reset set the stage for several prominent Democrats and their benefactors to profit from the burgeoning business opportunities in Russia being facilitated by the Obama administration.

Are they going to continue to get away with their corruption? That's the question that needs answering.

Sure does.

“Actions that Aren’t Immediately Visible Do Not Equate to Inaction” — FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino Breaks Silence Amid Mounting Conservative Scrutiny of Bureau Leadership

...”Bongino, who was appointed to help clean house at a deeply compromised FBI, offered a candid look into his fifth week on the job:

Week 5 Updates:

-Thank you for following this account. I’m traveling this week to some of your FBI field offices to gather information on necessary reforms, and to hear from the workforce. The Director and I have prioritized reforms while also making sure the work being done to ensure the safety of the Homeland, continues.

-I posted this last week but I want to reiterate it. The Director and I are working on a number of significant initiatives to ensure that the mistakes of the past are never repeated, and that many of your open questions are answered. We fully understand that some of the actions and initiatives we’ve taken may not immediately appear to fit into the puzzle. And that leaves a vacuum at times, filled by others. But accountability requires information, and people WITH information. I’ll say again, I’m NOT asking you to “trust me,” because I’m not in the “trust me” business. I’m in the “show me results” business.

-Actions that aren’t immediately visible do not equate to inaction. And I’ll be candid here, it’s tough not being able to respond to critical or laudatory comments. But, that’s what I signed up for as an employee of the tax payer. I need to let the results speak for themselves on many of these matters because that’s what you’re paying me to do. I know you’ve been let down in the past. You’re owed better. And we’re going to produce it.

God bless America, and all those who defend Her.
-Dan”
