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

by

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

by

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

by

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

by

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

Russian Collusion – Bribes, Coverups, Clinton & Uranium One

by

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 Imran Awan Case – House Dems, A Secret Server & So Much More

by

It’s been a while since I wrote about the strange case of the Awan Brothers – the fugitive IT specialists for House Democrats – so I figured it might be time for an update. For those in need of some background, here is the earlier article.

Imran Awan was arrested July 24, 2017 at an airport as he was attempting to flee the country. He was flying to Pakistan by way of Qatar – following his wife who had fled the country in March with $12,000 in cash. He has been charged with four counts of bank fraud in connection with his wire transfer of nearly $300,000 to Pakistan. Imran and his brothers, Abid and Jamal, are under investigation by the FBI and U.S. Capitol Police for accessing congressional computers and stealing IT equipment.

The Awan brothers provided services to as many as 80 House Democrats over the years and had access to the electronic files and emails of  House Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committee members. They provided their services on time-divided basis among the various Democratic Representatives.Continue Reading

Fusion GPS, the Trump Dossier, Russian Money & the Magnitsky Act

by

Fusion GPS is the firm who commissioned the infamous – and discredited – Steele dossier on President Trump. Fusion GPS is currently stonewalling the Senate Judiciary Committee’s investigation into Fusion GPS ties to the Democratic Party. And Fusion steadfastly refuses to say who paid for the dossier.

Now, it turns out that Fusion GPS was employed by the Russian government – at the exact same time that Fusion commissioned the Trump dossier.

Stop and think on that a moment.

The FBI was actually utilizing propaganda potentially commissioned by Russia as a reason for launching the entire Trump-Russian investigation in the first place.Continue Reading
