Tucker: Source Says Podesta Brothers & Manafort, Not Trump, 'Central Figures' in Russia Probe
Fox News Insider ^ | October 24, 2017 | Tucker Carlson

Posted on 10/24/2017 7:22:29 PM PDT by AJFavish

A thus-far-reliable source who used to be involved with Clinton allies John and Tony Podesta told Tucker Carlson that press reports appearing to implicate President Trump in Russian collusion are exaggerated.

The source, who Carlson said he would not yet name, said he worked for the brothers' Podesta Group and was privy to some information from Robert Mueller's special investigation.

While media reports describe former "Black, Manafort & Stone" principal Paul Manafort as Trump's main tie to the investigation, the source said it is Manafort's role as a liaison between Russia and the Podesta Group that is drawing the scrutiny.

I see Drudge has finally realized the rat dam might be breaking. He is red headlining a WSJ Russian/FBI/Clinton/uranium expose.Popcorn futures might be a good investment.

This might be the one that knocks it out of the park. Let’s hope so.

Yeah? Well where does it say in this piece that Mueller and his army of Clinton confidants are seeing Podesta Brothers & Manafort as “central” to the so called Russia probe?

Tucker naming them as such and the current witch hunt making them such are two very different things.

As far as I can see, this BS investigation still has the goal of nailing anyone it can from the Trump side of the aisle. For anything.

It would be funny if Hillary gets prison and Bill skates. She’d offer to give Bill up but be told “Mrs. Clinton, you’re the only person on Earth that makes Bill Clinton look like a choir boy. In fact, polls shoe people are happy to let Bill go free just to see you hang. We don’t want to hear what you have to say.”

I certainly wouldn’t trust anyone who works for Mueller. Even if he’s telling the truth that doesn’t mean Mueller’s going to go after any democrats.

I had Podesta on my bus once, last January right before the inauguration. I should have taken his scalp.

One of the likely motivation’s for what appears to be Mueller getting into the Podesta’s linkage to the Russians, is to create illusion - to dissuage Congress and or the JD to NOT APPOINT a true Special/Independent Counsel !

There are many reasons for this illusion, not the least of which would be Mueller himself being indicted for his ACTUAL ROLL in the cover up of “Pay for Play” with our national security involving Uranium One, the illegal smuggling of processed uranium out of the US, and the pay back to the Clintons to the tune of at least $145,000,000 dollars.

Additionally, the illegal and illicit server scandal was going on full bore during all of this!

As well, remember Obama’s statement to Russian President Medvedev...

It is possible and even likely Obama’s statement caught on hot mic, telling Medvedev he (Obama) would have more flexibility after the election, was itself involved with the treasoness Uranium One deal one way or another, if not other illegal weapons technology transfer.

Think Skolkovo. The money, efforts, and tech transfer, involved with Skolkovo make the illegal Uranium One scandal pail in comparison. Even while no one is speaking of it.

Skolkovo involved a massive transfer of dual purpose technology and cooperation at the highest levels! This included cooperation with the agencies tasked with our cyber security!


The players are slightly different, but these illegal and truly treasoness activities are very much like what happened between President Clinton and China!

With China there were many millions of dollars which found there way into the Clinton/Gore Campaigns, and in exchange, US contractors were forced to illegally turn over straight up Nuclear Weapons technology and with hardware and software get Chinese satellites into space. Additionally, Clinton gave administrative control of the Panama Canal to a Chinese Army front company named Hutchinson Wampoa.

These things really happened, and they got away with it!

Partial investigations were shut down. Some involved in the investigations were never seen or heard from again.


Our freedom, country, and system of justice cannot survive these people getting away with this much longer.

Just think if they get away with all of the anti-American activity again!

I think a certain Freeper was ridiculed for saying this. . . For the last 3 months.

BTW see “American Hustle”? Manafort is the Weinberg character, cooperating w Mulehead’s. No one from Trump’s team is being investigated.

Unfortunately, what is likely to happen is that Mueller refuses to resign and the Dems and GOPe in Congress protect him.

His investigation of Podestas/Clintons follows the same path as the Lynch/Comey investigation of Hillary for mishandling national security info and destroying evidence.

Mueller’s team of hardcore Democrats hand out immunity like candy, allow the destruction of evidence with no consequence and close the case with a negotiated slap on the wrist.

The globalists have a lot of money at stake in open borders, cheap immigrant labor and offshore factories. They hired GOPe senators to protect their interest fair and square and they expect the GOPe senators to do their job, and work to protect Mueller.
