FOIA Documents, FBI Preservation Requests, the CFIUS & Uranium One

November 4, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

By now, everyone is aware – at least to some extent – of Hillary Clinton’s involvement in the Uranium One transaction. It ultimately generated almost $150 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation and resulted in the sale of 20% of U.S. Uranium to Russia.

It was a transaction that should never have been allowed to occur.

It turns out there may be much more to the story.Continue Reading

The Manafort Indictment – Podesta Connections & A Message to Influence Peddlers

October 30, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

Paul Manafort and his long-time protege Richard Gates were both indicted today.

Manafort’s indictment comes as no surprise given the July pre-dawn FBI raid on his home.

Manafort and Gates were indicted by a federal grand jury on 12 counts: conspiracy against the United States, conspiracy to launder money, unregistered agent of a foreign principal, false and misleading FARA statements, lying to investigators and seven counts of failure to file reports of foreign bank and financial accounts.Continue Reading

The Clinton Dossier Disclosures

October 25, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

The Washington Post reported yesterday that Hillary Clinton, her campaign and the DNC were officially behind the funding of the Trump Dossier.

For this reporting, say a big thank you to Devin Nunes.

The Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee – a Republican Representative from California’s San Joaquin Valley – has been aggressively pursuing the false allegations and disinformation campaign put forth by Democrats.

It started with finding evidence of Obama’s surveillance of President Trump – see, Devin Nunes, Classified Intelligence and Schiff’s Political Pretense.

But is was a July 27, 2017 letter – actually two letters – that really brought things to lightContinue Reading

Unraveling – Undisclosed Emails & Two Joint House Committee Investigations

October 24, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

Hillary Clinton appears to be having a difficult week.

There have been three significant announcements – one by Judicial Watch yesterday and two investigation joint House Committee announcements made today.

In a Monday interview on C-Span, Hillary Clinton stopped blaming everyone except Chelsea for her election loss just long enough to make this claim on Uranium One:

I would say it’s the same baloney they’ve been peddling for years, and there’s been no credible evidence by anyone. In fact, it’s been debunked repeatedly and will continue to be debunked…Continue Reading

The Draining of the Swamp

October 21, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

My past two posts have centered around new revelations relating to Uranium One – and the involvement of both the Clintons and the Obama Administration.

While these items are highly significant they herald something even greater.

It’s the Significance of Timing.

Question: Why are these new revelations emerging at this point?

Answer: The D.C. Swamp is starting to self-drain.Continue Reading

Russian Collusion – Part II – Corruption, Clinton & Obama

October 18, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

There really was a Russian Conspiracy.

But it doesn’t involve President Trump.

It involves Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and the Obama Administration.

Yesterday I wrote about new revelations surrounding Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium One deal. I noted that further details would be forthcoming.

Three new articles have since emerged.Continue Reading

Russian Collusion – Bribes, Coverups, Clinton & Uranium One

October 17, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

The Hill just published an article containing new information on Russian bribes, Hillary Clinton and the sale of Uranium One to Russia.

The article is titled, FBI uncovered Russian bribery plot before Obama administration approved controversial nuclear deal with Moscow. For those unfamiliar, The Hill is actually a Center-Left publication…

While we have previously known some sordid details about the Uranium One transaction…

Clinton’s approval of the Uranium One deal while Secretary of State, transferred more than 20% of the U.S. uranium supply to Russia. The Clinton Foundation received $31 million with a pledge for $100 million more as a result. Ultimately, the Clinton Foundation received $145 million in “donations” from nine shareholders of Uranium One. Most of these “donations” were not legally disclosed by the Clinton Foundation.

…details regarding the DOJ’s and FBI’s knowledge of bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering by Russia at the time of the Uranium One transaction is new information.

If public, this information would almost certainly have prevented approval of Uranium One’s sale to Russia.Continue Reading

The Consumer Confidence Conundrum

October 16, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

It’s the economy, stupid – James Carville

The Index of Consumer Sentiment – more commonly known as the Consumer Confidence Index – came in at 101.5, reaching its highest level since the start of 2004 – an almost 14 year high.Continue Reading

A Pollster’s Prescient Warning to the Left

October 15, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

I came across a highly insightful article describing how the polls are still wrong on President Trump.

I admit, there have been many articles with similar takes in the past. Failure on the part of pollsters was a primary story the day after the historic 2016 election.

What made this one stand apart was its author, Mark Penn.

Mark Penn is co-director of the Harvard-Harris Poll and was a pollster for Bill Clinton during six years of his presidency.

He is a registered Democrat.Continue Reading

Hollywood’s Open Secrets – Winter is Coming

October 10, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

I cannot think of two groups less qualified to pontificate on…well…anything… than professional athletes and Hollywood actors.

Yet it seems we are routinely preached at – vociferously – by these very two groups.

On Morals, Social Justice Causes and Politics – especially Politics.

Which makes the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment – and now rape – allegations all the more tragically comic.Continue Reading
