The Coming Russia Bombshells
The Wall Street Journal ^ | October 26th, 2017 | By Kimberley A. Strassel

Posted on 10/27/2017 6:05:36 AM PDT by Mariner

The confirmation this week that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid an opposition-research firm for a “dossier” on Donald Trump is bombshell news. More bombshells are to come.

The Fusion GPS saga isn’t over. The Clinton-DNC funding is but a first glimpse into the shady election doings concealed within that oppo-research firm’s walls. We now know where Fusion got some of its cash, but the next question is how the firm used it. With whom did it work beyond former British spy Christopher Steele ? Whom did it pay? Who else was paying it?

The answers are in Fusion’s bank records. Fusion has doggedly refused to divulge the names of its clients for months now, despite extraordinary pressure. So why did the firm suddenly insist that middleman law firm Perkins Coie release Fusion from confidentiality agreements, and spill the beans on who hired it?

I think the great revelation will be that Fusion is a Front for the FBI.

Or something equally criminal.

Trump has gained control over the executive branch, or none of this would be coming out.

What an interesting thought! I will not be at all surprised if it turns out to be true.

Using the organs of government for political espionage is ALWAYS the biggest story.

It was a Congressional Subpoena that got this particular story rolling.

As far as I can tell, DOJ is asleep at the wheel.

“I’m thinking they’ve flipped someone like Tony Podesta...”

Imagine what happens when they turn the screws on Hillary, putting her in a felonious vice and squeezing.

“The answers are in Fusion’s bank records.”

If/when the records are turned over, I expect they’ll be “cooked books”, and not the real thing. They’re stalling to buy time to create a new set of records with no damning evidence in them.

The Clintons took uranium.....a national strategic asset......and sold it for their personal gain. Smells like the infamous Teapot Dome scandal.

Law professor Jonathan Turley said the Clintons uranium scheme .... "could be criminal." Turley (or somebody) needs to address the Clinton criminality in this context.

More egregiously (to me) is that the criminal Clintons used proprietary information----intel the govt uses to secure the safety and security of we, the people.....to carry out their criminal acts.

I consider it reprehensible that Secy Hillary routinely sent her itinerary to the Clinton Foundation, giving the Clintons govt info to plot their scams.

I think the records in question are in the possession of the bank.

And I believe the judge who is holding up the release has set TODAY for a release/don’t release decision. If so we have a chance, possibly slim but real, for yet another win during this Top Ten Greatest of all Weeks here on Good Old FR.

“I believe the judge who is holding up the release has set TODAY for a release/don’t release decision.”

You’re probably right. A pundit on TV this morning said that things could be very interesting before midnight tonight. I didn’t hear the beginning of the segment, but have a feeling he was referring to this.

Yep - little by little Trump has been gathering info and gaining control. He’s being methodical and dogged as he goes about the business of clearing the swamp’s drain pipes for the deluge they will have to handle.

TEAPOT DOME SCANDAL The villain of the piece, US Sen Albert Albert Fall, covered his tracks well. No evidence of wrongdoing was initially uncovered as the Teapot Dome and other oil leases were legal enough, but records kept disappearing mysteriously.

As the investigation was winding down with Fall apparently innocent, a piece of evidence Fall had forgotten to cover up surfaced: a $100,000 loan to Fall.

Fall had made the leases appear legitimate, but his acceptance of the money was his undoing. By 1924, the remaining unanswered question was how Fall had become so rich so quickly and easily.

Money from the bribes had gone to Fall’s cattle ranch and investments in his business. This discovery broke the scandal open.

Civil and criminal suits related to the scandal continued throughout the 1920s.

In 1929, Albert Fall was found guilty of accepting bribes. Conversely, in 1930, Edward L. Doheny was acquitted of paying bribes to Fall. Further, Doheny’s corporation foreclosed on Fall’s home in Tularosa Basin, New Mexico, because of “unpaid loans” which turned out to be that same $100,000 bribe.

Excerpted-—more at wiki.

What I’d like to know is how much $$ did Russia pay the U.S. for the uranium? I know Hillary got $145M bribe money to the foundation, but what happened to the cash for the actual uranium? Did that go into Obama’s liberal group slush fund? Or maybe some offshore accounts?

Juan Williams still says “Nothing to see here”. “Just legal donations to Hillary”, Funny to watch

More likely Fusion is owned substantially by George Soros.
