‘Cuz this is going to hurt. A lot. I said democrats were going to rue the day they started this and they will.
“Treason” was a buzzword democrats tossed around with great frequency.
“Treason” said Tim Kaine.
“Treason” said Rep, Seth Moulton.
“Treason” said Jon Meacham.
“Cloud of treason” murmured Rep. Adam Schiff.
“Treason” hinted our imbecilic Senator Blumenthal.
Blumenthal said, “[T]hese emails are a textbook example and evidence of criminal intent. I can almost hear the closing argument to the jury using ‘I love it,’ repeating again and again, ‘I love it.’ Those three words are going to haunt Donald Trump Jr. Because they are a clear signal that he is looking for information, dirt, on Hillary Clinton from the Russian government, and expecting an agent of the Russian government to be providing it to him, and having the meeting, showing, and again signaling, the Trump campaign is open for business. We will accept information, no matter how it is obtained, legally or illegally. And that is potentially a violation of the Espionage Act, yes, treason, and it is also potentially a violation of the prohibitions of defrauding the government through conspiracy, against cyber-fraud and abuse.
Then he adds the clincher:
There are a slew of statutes that may have been violated here.
Hold on to that thought in particular.
My how things change.
Before the uranium deal was approved by CFIUS, the FBI knew of money laundering and bribery schemes behind it. Mueller knew about it and apparently said nothing.
We did not know until recently that Bill Clinton told the State Department of 15 people he might meet, including the head of the Russian nuclear agency and then met with none of them. He did, however, meet personally with Vladimir Putin to firm up the sale of control of US uranium to Russia. In return he got a speaking fee of $500,000 and tens of millions went into the Clinton Foundation.
We were assured that the uranium would stay in the US. It is being shipped US to Canada via proxy.
The Clinton’s acted as lobbyists for Vladimir Putin.
We did not know that the Clinton campaign and the DNC paid up to $9 million for Trump “dirty dossier.”
Hillary denied it and her lawyer denied it. For a year. Hillary’s campaign even got the story squashed.
Given all the garbage heaped on Donald Jr. it’s amusing that Hillary’s boy Brian Fallon let on that he would have done the same thing.
Former Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said on Twitter that he regretted not knowing about Steele’s hiring before the election, and that had he known, ‘I would have volunteered to go to Europe and try to help him.’
Fallon suggested Hillary “may have known” about Hillary financing the dirty dossier:
“I don’t know,” Fallon said when asked if Hillary Clinton knew about the funding. “I haven’t spoken to her.”
CNN’s Poppy Harlow pressed onward, asking, “shouldn’t she have known?”
“Well, I mean, she may have known,” he clarified. “The degree of exactly what she knew is beyond my knowledge… I mean she may or may not have been aware of that level of detail. I don’t know.”
The failure of the Hillary campaign to disclose their funding of the dirty dossier is a violation of FEC rules.
The complaint from the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center said the Democrats effectively hid the payments from public scrutiny, contrary to the requirements of federal law. By law, campaign and party committees must disclose the reason money is spent and its recipient.
“By filing misleading reports, the DNC and Clinton campaign undermined the vital public information role of campaign disclosures,” said Adav Noti, senior director of trial litigation and strategy at CLC and a former FEC official. “Voters need campaign disclosure laws to be enforced so they can hold candidates accountable for how they raise and spend money. The FEC must investigate this apparent violation and take appropriate action.”
Now you would think that the payments for the dossier and the denial by Clinton and her lawyer of knowledge about it would alone be worthy of significant media attention. Had Trump done it…
About Blumenthal’s “slew of statutes”- it is reported that Hillary Clinton could be charged with 13 crimes, of which 6 are felonies:
The information in the dirty dossier came from Russian operatives:
In the dossier, Steele cites numerous anonymous sources, many of which work in the upper echelons of the Russian government.
The first two sources cited in the dossier’s first memo, dated June 20, 2016, are “a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure” and “a former top level Russian intelligence officer still active inside the Kremlin.”
A third source is referred to as “a senior Russian financial official.” Other sources in the dossier are described as “a senior Kremlin official” and sources close to Igor Sechin, the head of Russian oil giant Rosneft and a close associate of Vladimir Putin’s.
Thus the dossier is the work of the Kremlin and Hillary paid them for it.
The media continues to do its best to suppress the story, but they won’t be able to stifle it forever. The FBI needs to be investigated and Obama’s entire DOJ needs to be investigated. A special counsel is an absolute must.
I guess we know what was in those missing Hillary emails now. In the meanwhile, democrats might want to stock up on the lube. They’re going to need it. I think this is the beginning of a very, very rough ride- and they deserve every bit of it.
