The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board called Thursday for FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller to step down from his role in investigating alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election, saying that he lacks the “critical distance” to analyze recent revelations about the FBI’s role in the saga.“It is no slur against Mr. Mueller’s integrity to say that he lacks the critical distance to conduct a credible probe of the bureau he ran for a dozen years,” the Journal’s editorial board wrote. “He could best serve the country by resigning to prevent further political turmoil over that conflict of interest.” The...

This week, CNN launched a new ad campaign called “Facts Firsts.” In its ad, it featured an apple and a narrator explained how some may try calling it a banana, but it’s still an apple. There was both praise and mockery of the new campaign. Nonetheless, CNN clearly sees itself as the one outlet in all of news media where facts come first. So how much time did CNN spend on a subject like the Uranium One deal that’s now being scrutinized? Within seven days since the story broke, it dedicated less than four minutes (according to conservative media watchdog...

The evidence hearing continued for a third day (Wednesday October 25th) in Las Vegas. Ammon Bundy was kept out of the courtroom. He was not allowed in but his lawyers met with him in a room outside the courtroom. Cliven and Ryan Bundy were in the courtroom Wednesday but the US Marshals were agitated harassing them at one point taking markers being used by Ryan Bundy away from him. They also prevented Cliven and Ryan Bundy from looking at their family members in the courtroom. Carol Bundy (wife of Cliven) and Angie Bundy (wife of Ryan) were present in the...

The third Bunkerville Standoff trial of four men (Cliven Bundy, Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy and Ryan Payne) will begin Monday with jury selection. Meanwhile, US District Judge Gloria Navarro has agreed to a fourth day of questioning in an evidence hearing that ran Monday thru Wednesday. A defense attorney pointed out inconsistent testimony from two Bureau of Land Management officials about shredding of documents. "Redoubt News" reports that when fired BLM agent Dan Love testified at the hearing he said that the Obama Administration US Attorney in Las Vegas Daniel Bogden was involved in decision making about the release of...

In a previous post I raised the possibility that Harry Reid went for the Nuclear Option rule change for judges to guarantee conformation of a hand picked Obama stooge. Theodore D Chuang  obstructed the Congressional investigation into Benghazi before he was selected to become the Federal judge who would get the Uranium One cases in Maryland. Chuang’s task was to settle the Russian Corruption cases quietly so Congress would not become aware of how they were kept out of the known corruption behind the Uranium deal I’ve come across two more pieces of the puzzle. A 1872 Mining Law reform bill which got...

Parsons says that although 1872 Mining Law reform has passed in the U.S. House it remains stuck in the Senate. “It is literally one person on the U.S. Senate who stops it at every turn, and that’s Harry Reid (D-Nev.), and he does so because he’s beholden to the mining interests because he’s dependent on them for his reelection in Nevada,” Parsons said.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, is not enamored with the idea of that body poking around on the Uranium One deal — investigating the actions of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as it relates to a Uranium transfer to Russia. And he thinks he knows why the investigation is happening in the first place. Appearing on Andrea Mitchell Reports Wednesday, the California Congressman believes these new inquiries are part of a White House, Fox News, and Breitbart-led effort to distract from special counsel Robert Mueller‘s investigation into President Donald Trump and Russian election...

Chalk it up to a small world or to a tangled web, but Uranium One, the Russian-owned uranium mining company at the center of a recent scandal involving the Clintons and a close Canadian business partner, has lobbied the State Department through a firm co-founded by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman. Senate records show that The Podesta Group has lobbied the State Department on behalf of Uranium One — once in 2012, when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, and once in 2015. Uranium One paid The Podesta Group $40,000 to lobby the State Department, the Senate, the National...

The directive for the Justice Department to lift a "gag order" on a former FBI informant involved in a high-profile Russia bribery case came from President Trump himself, a source told Fox News. On Wednesday night, the DOJ announced it had cleared the individual to speak to Congress about Moscow’s Obama-era uranium deals in the U.S. market and other schemes. A source said the order to release the confidential informant came directly from Trump -- though who actually made the final call is unclear. One well-placed source familiar with the decision-making process pushed back, saying the decision was made entirely...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) released a former FBI informant from a confidentiality agreement, allowing him to testify before Congress about what he saw while undercover during a former President Barack Obama-era deal where a Russian-backed company bought a uranium firm with mines in the U.S. Congressional committees have previously tried to interview the informant, whose name has yet to be released, due to the fact he was undercover for around five years, working to get information on Russia’s efforts to grow its atomic energy business in the U.S. DOJ spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores told The Hill a deal was...

A new report says Paul Manafort and the Podesta group mediated the uranium deal between Russia and the Obama administration. (video)

The Department of Justice cleared the FBI informant – who brought the Uranium One scandal roaring back into national headlines with his claim, through his lawyer, to have information about the Clinton Foundation’s role – to testify before Congress Wednesday night. The informant worked undercover to investigate bribery and intrigue in the Russian nuclear industry during the Obama administration and was, until Wednesday, bound by a gag order from speaking about what he knew. According to sources at the Department of Justice, the informant is now cleared to testify about a wide range of issues including, specifically, the Clinton Foundation....

Sorry I do not have a transcript, but on Hannity tonight, Conservative DC Mega-Power lawyer Victoria Toensing said repeatedly that her client, the FBI CI just cleared to testify before Congress, has memos, tapes and emails regarding the Russian payoffs to Hillary et. al. to get the Uranium One deal approved by USG... and, according to FBI, Mueller, Comey, Holder, and Obama were regularly briefed about the deal and its illegality as it was being approved! Greg Jarrret says senior people will go to jail over this and the dossier payoffs... and yes, that might include the Hildabeast.

Center for Security Policy President Frank Gaffney joined SiriusXM host Raheem Kassam on Wednesday’s Breitbart News Daily to talk about the latest revelations regarding the Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee, the politicized Obama Justice Department, and actual collusion with Russia in the 2016 presidential campaign. Gaffney said the current news environment provided a “target-rich environment” for punditry, but was regrettably “hard on the country.” “I particularly am thinking of this dossier business and the attacks on Donald Trump that have been relentlessly pursued,” he said. “Interestingly enough, with the help – in some cases more than just help, the...

The Justice Department on Wednesday night released a former FBI informant from a confidentiality agreement, allowing him to testify before Congress about what he witnessed undercover about the Russian nuclear industry’s efforts to win favorable decisions during the Obama administration. Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores confirmed to The Hill a deal had been reached clearing the informant to talk to Congress for the first tie, nearly eight years after he first went undercover for the FBI. “As of tonight, the Department of Justice has authorized the informant to disclose to the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the Senate Committee...

The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier containing allegations about Donald Trump’s connections to Russia and possible coordination between his campaign and the Kremlin, people familiar with the matter said. Marc Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington, D.C., firm, to conduct the research. Fusion GPS hired dossier author Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community. Elias and his law firm, Seattle-based Perkins Coie, retained the firm in April 2016...
