#ThreeRussiaStories

You would be hard-pressed to find investigative stories about the Clintons trending, but the Russia collusion story featuring vast cover-ups by the FBI and Obama White House is hitting the fan.

I guess one reason Obama knocked himself out campaigning for Hillary was to cover his tracks.

This is the story attached to most RTs.

Secrets and Lies: Three Russian Stories
By Clarice Feldman
The major developing stories this week have been so scantily and poorly covered in the mainstream press that you may want an easy primer. To fully understand it you have to look at alternative media, because just as Harvey Weinstein counted on complicit enablers -- his colleagues, victims and the press -- Hillary Clinton, Robert Mueller and a cast of characters, including a press determined to cover for them have hidden what occurred. It’s taken some time, to be sure, but the evidence of their wrongdoing is becoming harder and harder to hide. Stalling and misdirection are their last redoubt.

WHO:


Here are some of the principal figures:

Robert Mueller. Former head of the FBI and now special counsel purportedly investigating whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians to win the election.

Andrew McCabe, appointed by former president Obama, was Assistant FBI Director in charge of investigating charges by the FBI’s own underground informant to the effect that the Russians, engaged in bribery to obtain uranium supplies in the U.S. His wife received nearly half a million dollars from Hillary Clinton buddy Terry McAuliffe for her 2015 Virginia state senate campaign which he had not disclosed to the Department nor sought clearance for from its ethics office. Presently he is the deputy attorney director of the FBI and is himself under investigation by the Justice department inspector general respecting this contribution.

The unnamed FBI undercover informant, represented by criminal attorney Victoria Toensing, was witness to the scheming, kickbacks and corruption in the Russian effort to obtain 20% of U.S. uranium supplies held by Canadian-based Uranium One. He reported to his bosses at the FBI -- which is to say McCabe and Mueller -- prior to the October 2010 approval of the sale to Uranium One. He says Lynch has threatened him with criminal prosecution if he reveals what he knows to Congress. Senator Grassley has asked present Attorney General Jeff Sessions to waive the nondisclosure agreement -- which appears in any event to be untoward and unconstitutional -- so he can tell the Senate Judiciary Committee what he knows.

CFIUS (The Committee on Foreign Investment in the US) is the interagency organization which is supposed to review such transactions to be sure they did not jeopardize national security. If it determines such sales will harm national security, they are supposed to block them.

The U.S. Intelligence Community – through the Director of National Intelligence – serves as ex officio member and is required to provide an intelligence assessment to CFIUS for review.

The Secretary of Labor was also added as an ex officio member.

In total, CFIUS is comprised of nine agencies, two ex officio representatives and other members as appointed by the U.S. President representing major departments and agencies within the U.S. federal executive branch. In addition to Treasury, the U.S. Departments of Energy, Commerce, State, Homeland Security, Justice, Trade, Science and Technology Policy and Defense are represented.

Author Jim Rickards claims that James Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence, disbanded the CFIUS advisory for the intel community just before the Uranium One deal was approved.

The Chairman of Uranium One is on the Clinton Foundation Board and a close friend of the Clintons, and as the deal was being considered by approval by CFIUS, nine members of Uranium One contributed more than $145 million to the Clinton Foundation, long exposed as a Clinton family piggy bank. Yellow cake from these uranium mines “has gone to some unknown destination” since the sale was approved.

Loretta Lynch, Obama’s Attorney General, reportedly threatened the informant that he’d be subject to criminal prosecution if he revealed to Congress what he’d find out.

Hillary Clinton, former first lady and most recently failed candidate for President, was Secretary of State when the Uranium Sale was approved by the CFIUS.

Mystery witness claims millions of dollars in Russian nuclear funds went to “an entity” assisting the Clinton Foundation.

Bill Clinton, former president and husband of Hillary Clinton and recipient of a $500,000 dollar speaking fee for a speech in Russia from Renaissance Capital (a Russian finance corporation) prior to the approval of the sale to Uranium One.

Rod Rosenstein, former U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, presently Deputy Attorney General for the Department of Justice overseeing the Mueller investigation into claims that the Russians colluded with the Trump campaign (2005-2017).

#TonyPodesta. Trending at 5, down from 3.

Podesta, Famous John’s brother, is now the subject of Mueller’s Russian investigation.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/amp/mueller-now-investigating-democratic-lobbyist-tony-podesta-n812776

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON — Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group are now the subjects of a federal investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, three sources with knowledge of the matter told NBC News.

The probe of Podesta and his Democratic-leaning lobbying firm grew out of Mueller's inquiry into the finances of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to the sources. As special counsel, Mueller has been tasked with investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Manafort had organized a public relations campaign for a non-profit called the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine (ECMU). Podesta's company was one of many firms that worked on the campaign, which promoted Ukraine's image in the West.

The sources said the investigation into Podesta and his company began as more of a fact-finding mission about the ECMU and Manafort's role in the campaign, but has now morphed into a criminal inquiry into whether the firm violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act, known as FARA.

Related: What Did Paul Manafort Really Do in Ukraine?

Under FARA, people who lobby on behalf of foreign governments, leaders or political parties must file detailed disclosures about their spending and activities with the Justice Department. Willful failure to file the forms is a felony and can result in up to five years in prison, though such prosecutions are rare.

The Podesta Group filed a FARA registration for its work with ECMU only after the payments were reported by the media. Manafort's firm also filed a FARA registration after media reports in June disclosed its work in Ukraine from 2012 through 2014.

I’m sure he’ll get away scot-free. Mueller obviously has a price.

Wall Street has rigged the rules in their favor so that even when their wrongdoing is publicly exposed, they suffer few actual consequences.

First female president? Nodding.

Well, she's got a cute name. I would vote for over Trump or Clinton.

Donna Brazile trending at 5 for her expose on the dirty corrupt DNC / Hillary Clinton.

Surprising, since Twitter recently admitted they suppressed 48% if legitimate DNCFraud-related #s.

The best day in history (so far) for people who recognize Clinton for what she is. Brazile swiped pretty hard at Obama too.

I’d love to know her motivation.

Kaepernick is GQ’s Person of the Year!!

Very nice. Trending at 3.

David Cassidy is in a coma, multiple organ failure. His only hope is a liver transplant. Prognosis: grim.

He was my first celebrity crush.

Charles Manson, dead at 83.

#CharlieRose, old skeeze, suspended from CBS for preying on women. Eight of them stepping forward.

Jesus, this feels wonderful.

Men may actually have to treat women decently. Who’d have thought!?

#MattLauer trending at #1.

Fired this morning due to claims of sexually inappropriate behavior at work.

#NationalStrike was trending at #5...and disappeared from the list quite suddenly a few minutes ago—& it did NOT go unnoticed.

What is NOT trending...

Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Cornel discusses Coates’ unbridled hero-worship of Obama’s in a much-linked and discussed Guardian piece, and even though it wasn’t rough or insulting, Coates has, at least temporarily, closed his Twitter account.

The Intercept offered a podcast format for the two to flesh out their differences before Coates closed his account.

Disappointing.

#EricaGarner passed away this morning.

She was only 27. Asthma/heart attack. I really liked her.

You’ll get a look at some of the people rigging the country for The Deep State.

James Risen talks and will name names.

Finally.

The Russian Twitter bots retweeted @realDonaldTrump posts almost 470,000 times, accounting for more than 4 percent of the re-tweets he received from Sept. 1 to Nov. 15, 2016. Hillary Clinton’s account got less than 50,000 retweets by Russian-linked accounts during the same period of time.

Russian-linked accounts were responsible for 48 percent to 73 percent of the retweets of WikiLeaks’ Twitter accounts during the same time period.

New Report Says Dutch Have Absolute Proof Russia Was Behind 2016 Election Hacking

I posted yesterday on the "monitoring Trump ..." thread about that, including the original Dutch sources.

I wanted to make sure that it showed up over here.

Have they made public their absolute proof? I’d be very interested to see it!
