This is the real scandal, the real crime. And the attempted persecution of President Trump, the trumped-up case of some Russia collusion story, has always been a distraction to what really went down.
This scandal is far more dangerous than either Watergate or Iran-Contra on a number of levels. But it is most concerning because our defense against government wrongdoing — the press — is defending such actions, not uncovering them.
Uranium One informant makes Clinton allegations to Congress
‘FISA-Gate Is Scarier Than Watergate.
Report: Russians Spent Millions to Influence Obama Admin’s Uranium One Decision
Town Hall, February 9, 2018:FBI undercover informant Douglas Campbell has provided written testimony to Congress that Russian government authorities paid an American lobbying firm millions of dollars to influence the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton towards enacting favorable policies, including approving a Russian bid to buy stakes in Uranium One.
The Hill has acquired a copy of Campbell’s testimony, which details his work exposing an extensive Kremlin-led operation to push U.S. policy in a Russia-friendly direction on many fronts. According to Campbell, U.S.-based lobbying firm APCO Worldwide served as the primary vehicle of this operation. APCO was supposed to provide funds to the Clinton Foundation matching Russian financial contributions and then use its close contacts to officials like then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to directly lobby for Russian interests:
Campbell added in the testimony that Russian nuclear officials “told me at various times that they expected APCO to apply a portion of the $3 million annual lobbying fee it was receiving from the Russians to provide in-kind support for the Clintons’ Global Initiative.”
“The contract called for four payments of $750,000 over twelve months. APCO was expected to give assistance free of charge to the Clinton Global Initiative as part of their effort to create a favorable environment to ensure the Obama administration made affirmative decisions on everything from Uranium One to the U.S.-Russia Civilian Nuclear Cooperation agreement.”
The APCO has denied Campbell’s claims, insisting that although it was working for both the Russian government and the Clinton Foundation, different departments within the firm separately handled these tasks.
Democratic politicians and spokespeople have already tried to smear Campbell as an unreliable source and suggested that he is part of a right-wing conspiracy to frame Hillary Clinton and distract from allegations of Trump-Russia “collusion”:
Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Clinton, said Campbell’s account is simply being used to distract from the investigations into President Trump and Russian election meddling.
“Just yesterday the committee made clear that this secret informant charade was just that, a charade. Along with the widely debunked text-message-gate and Nunes’ embarrassing memo episode, we have a trifecta of GOP-manufactured scandals designed to distract from their own President’s problems and the threat to democracy he poses,” Merrill said.
(…)
Rep. Elijah Cummings (Md.), the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and Rep. Adam Schiff (Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, asserted that Justice Department officials told both parties during a briefing in December that they ultimately found they “could not trust” Campbell when he was working as an FBI informant.
Democrats have not explained why the FBI would have employed Campbell as an undercover agent for years, cleared him to inform three separate congressional committees about his classified work, and paid him $50,000 for his surveillance work if they did not trust him.
Another important takeaway from The Hill’s report—Campbell informed Congress that his information was briefed to top FBI officials and President Obama himself on one occasion before the administration’s decision to approve the Uranium One deal, but this apparently had no impact on American government actions:
“I was frustrated watching the U.S. government make numerous decisions benefiting Rosatom and Tenex while those entities were engaged in serious criminal conduct on U.S. soil,” [Campbell] wrote. “Tenex and Rosatom were raking in billions of U.S. dollars by signing contracts with American nuclear utility clients at the same time they were indulging in extortion by using threats to get bribes and kickbacks, with a portion going to Russia for high ranking officials.”
He said he never got a satisfactory answer from the FBI.
“I remember one response I got from an agent when I asked how it was possible CFIUS would approve the Uranium One sale when the FBI could prove Rosatom was engaged in criminal conduct. His answer: ‘Ask your politics,’ ” Campbell said.

I really wish someone would just give us a clue as to what Sessions is doing! Political crime by the left is running rampant, and Sessions is invisible. I have to hope that he is working on it, and will suddenly appear with a handful of subpoenas, but his absence is deafening.
He did “recluse” himself, do you remember? Meaning: Rosenstein (his deputy) who should be fired since scandals unfolded is apparently still in charge.
I wished I could recluse myself from my duties at work, and still collect a paycheck.
I thought that was Called RETIREMENT?
Weeks ago Lou Dobbs (FOX Business) has wondered if the deep state / Democrats are holding Sessions balls in a vice…
Maybe Sessions has a few skeletons that the deep state / Democrats know about and are blackmailing him to remain ‘missing in action’ until Mueller can levi a hard enough blow that would make it harder for Trump to recover from… At this point (after FISA / Grassley memo’s revelations and a cascade of DOJ resignations) it seems that plan has fast diminishing benefits for deep state / Democrats
A very BIG picture is slowly but steadily emerging, the democrats are SCREWED!!!!
But Russia! But Collusion! No, Obstruction. Yeah, Obstruction! But Stormy Daniels!…BUTT HURT!
But – but – but – Butt hurt
Sounds Like A Harley with a Bad Plug
So when is Obama and his entire treasonous cabal going to prison for sedition and treason?
Hillary Left/Liberal media/Mafia runs fake investigation. Nobody is touching the mafia itself. And Hillary mafia killed another witness to email investigation http://tinyurl.com/y8p9cv5l
Nobody even investigates it bcoz Hillary gang is running FBI/DOJ/state dept/NSA.
Until the mafia is purged and replaced by honest patriots this will go nowhere. instead Trump and his family will be harassed with new cases !
T- Family Will,
Probably die in a Plane crash,
That seems to Happen a Lot??
In the Clinton Aircraft Fuel Foundation, for Direct response to Investigations Illegally directed toward any one with a Clinton Name.
Seems the Aircraft Fuel Foundation Has an Excellent Flight Record of Successful Flight Missions in every Corner of the World.
If a Crash has Occurred and People Lived they were found Later with a small hole in the back of their Heads??
Must have been Certainly caused by the Crash,
When, After they All returned to the Crashed Airplane and passed away by Blount force Trauma – with a small hole was in the back of their Heads???
Keep Moving….. Nothing to See Here ………………………
….. Go On ….. Quit looking for the TRUTH………..
…
Democrats have surpassed Joe McCarthy.
(not sure if Mc Carthy PAID for any investigation like the Dems have)
McCarthy was a man ahead of his time.
Patience. Yes it is hard but we only have ONE SHOT to get this right. Hillary is fair game because she was NEVER indicted. Once indicted, you risk the DOUBLE JEOPARDY problem. They have to line this up very carefully. Indictments ARE coming…. Keep the faith.
Anyone can be indicted, for the same crime, multiple times. It’s being tried where double jeopardy comes into play.
The last I have heard,
in the illegal comments made by the Clintons?
Somewhere between 2045 & 2090 the federal Government will release the real Fake data to be true – – then Prosecute them to the Full Extent of the LAW..
Yep, that is what they will do… Oh Yeah – – NO TERM LIMITS.
Full Retirement…..
Clinton Foundation – It’s ok for Russians to mine Uranium in Utah, but if an American walks on the federal lands in Utah, the Feds will arrest/kill him.
Americans are Trespassing on Illegal Lands,
That have been Leased out to:
Whomever paid $150.00 Per Acre of the Uranium in Utah on Released Lands By TRUMP???
No American, or Company Would touch?
Oh The Feds Will Kill Any Americans Who Walk upon these Spiritual Lands??
Check out what’s going on in south east Oregon. Somebody is/was mining for uranium. How they got permitted in Oregon is beyond me, usually takes 20-30 years, could the fix be in? Check out Pete Santelli’s utube channel!
This will have to be discussed in a court of law, with full transparency so as everyone can see what is going on.
I agree
There will be no transparency when it comes to Hillary Clinton
No judge in America would want to take up the Hillary Clinton case
And none of them would DARE to have the case trial be fully transparent
After all, none of the American judge likes the idea of ‘commiting suicide by shooting self in the head 4 times’
Eventually some judge took on Al Capone, there will be a few good legal experts that will decide to make a name for themselves, by taking out the giant.
Judge Body Bags Have been Pre-Ordered….
Please let me into the Court Room,
to Slam Hillary’s Face into the Table at Least 3 Times – –
She will Plead Guilty,
Then Billy Rapist Next.
With NO GUN Left at the Scene again???
There are some honest judges.
Aren’t there?
No. Not at this level of the justice system.
Any examples that you would like to set forth?
Arkansided !
Nothing will happen to them. The history books will only talk about it. They have Satan on their side and he is very powerful in this world.
Oh contraire sir. We the People that love this country, the USA, and its Constitution have God in Jesus’ name as our defender of evil. God is the Power and He will put the hooks into the jaws of evil doers and pull them back from us who truly place our full faith, love and belief in Him. Becareful what you say because we are God’s children and He responds to our wishes.
Choose wisely what side you want to be on, the smoking or nonsmoking side.
“I will save you from the hands of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the cruel” Jeremiah 15:21 NIV.
Hillary and Obama….both traitorous and rotten to the core. They should both be behind bars.
Dead would work better for me. No more money spent on countless investigations, no more leftist Media BS stories. A small obituary stating that Both Clintons and ‘bammy were hung by the neck until Dead for the Crimes of Treason, Sedition, Murder & Conspiracy to do both. Televise it, don’t drop them as is Traditionally done, just hoist them up & let them kick & struggle for air that they’ll never get again.
Follow the money…
SITREP ObamaGate Feb 9 2018
New names and updates
Rachel Brand – DOJ – quit/ forced out/ fired Feb 9 2018 – helped with NSA warrantless surveillance program
– but Rachel Brand may be collateral damage
– she is a long-time Republican sandwiched between Rod Rosenstein and Sessions
– if Rosenstein goes, Rachel Brand will have to oversee the Mueller thing
– and she will be attacked from all sides
– but she could also do a lot of good
– by forcing Mueller to clarify his goals
– and that would effectively shut down the investigation

The Democrats attack the Republicans so hard for alleged Russian connections, but it seems that their own hands are far from clean.
Julius & Ethel Rosenberg were executed for less.
That’s an excellent and ugly point. Shillariah provided Russia w/the raw material to make nuclear weapons.
The LIBERAL media would still have yo believe the RUSSIANS wanted TRUMP to win!
LOL! Between Obama offering “more flexibility” hot mic gaffe, after his first term while running for his second term, the “rest button” and Hillary giving away 20% of our scarce uranium for Russia to sell to Iran and need I mention the RUSSIAN “golden showers” nonsense? It is clear the RUSSIANS wanted HILLARY in there, knowing Obama would be running the country while Hillary slept late, drank and trolled around looking for MORE money and MORE money… she can NEVER get enough of OTHER people’s money!
She is also a Pedophile………..Trolling around for Little Girls.
Truth!
The Real CLINTON COLUSION STORY
What has the Russian Paid Propaganda Media Said?
(Trump did it)
– – “read My Phony Book” – “WHAT HAPPENED”????
“The crazy green slime spitting Hag LOST”
Now She wants you to by Her Fake Book???
Uh oh. Looks like somebody is going to get assassinated if the money is NOT returned. End up mysteriously DEAD like their victims. Some 60 or more.
They are going to claim Blll and Hillaryous committed SUICIDE! 😉
I just can’t see a downside to that. Especially if it includes ‘bammy !
This is a clear lesson how there are two ways to lie, both concerning the media and the soon-to-be guilty parties in all this: commission and omission. You commit a lie when you knowingly make a false statement and when you knowingly omit relevant parts of your narrative that would change its veracity. Remember your school days and true-false test taking strategy, if any part of the staement is false the whole thing is false?
This also points out that the “Russian collusion” canard is more than just a caveman frontal assault on the Trump administration to undermine it. It is a diversion from the other Obhammud-era wrongdoing which is starting to leak out and otherwise become apparent. This explains why the corrupt meida has gone full throttle in the wrong directions.
It couldn’t happen to a more deserving couple.
I’ve always wondered how many millions in kickbacks Obama received? Remember Obie sent a message with a Russian envoy to Vladimir telling him he will be more flexible during his second term? He will be able to screw us even better and he did.?

Merely a loving gift to some old friends.
Honestly.
