A DNC Reset – Goodbye Hillary, Hello Bernie

November 2, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

The DNC has apparently decided it’s time to part ways with Hillary and Bill Clinton.

The break-up is happening in the most public of displays – under full sunlight – for all to see.

An excerpt of Donna Brazile’s new book was released today.

The shock-waves are still reverberating.

Inside Hillary Clinton’s Secret Takeover of the DNC, appeared today in Politico.

Bus, meet Hillary…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

Obama’s DOJ Slush Fund Deception

October 28, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

Back in March, I wrote about the Department of Justice’s Slush Fund.

The Working Group was created within the Justice Department by Eric Holder in 2012 as a means of prosecution and punishment for those perceived to be responsible for the financial crisis of 2008.

At its formation Mr. Holder made the following statement:

Over the past three years, we have been aggressively investigating the causes of the financial crisis.  And we have learned that much of the conduct that led to the crisis was unethical, and, in many instances, extremely reckless.  We also have learned that behavior that is unethical or reckless may not necessarily be criminal.  When we find evidence of criminal wrongdoing, we bring criminal prosecutions.  When we don’t, we endeavor to use other tools available to us.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

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

Climate Scientists Admit the Models Are Wrong

October 12, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

A new study was published in the journal Nature Geoscience. It has been causing a bit of a stir – along with some real consternation – amongst the Climate Change crowd.

All the more so since the study was done by a group of well-known scientists who are not Global Warming Skeptics. Indeed, they have all been firmly entrenched within the Anthropogenic (man-made) Global Warming camp.

These are the actual scientists who have been responsible for determining and producing the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s Carbon Budget.

And they are finally admitting they were wrong…Continue Reading
