Dems double down on distraction to obscure Uranium One scandal

It is now clear to anyone who filters through all the media chaff on condolence calls that the FBI and Department of Justice allowed a criminal conspiracy to proceed, endangering national security but enriching the Clintons, and have been covering up the evidence. The two people responsible for targeting the special counsel on Trump and Russia are directly responsible for the cover-up.

Yesterday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing produced plenty of video clips of Al Franken badgering Jeff Sessions, making him look off-balance. That might comfort the sensibilities of Trump-haters, but it is all a phony distraction. It is now clear that real collusion with Russians did take place – between Secretary Clinton's machine and the Russians.

Greg Jarrett, a lawyer and fearless Fox News correspondent, lays out the case that racketeering laws apply to the Uranium One scandal.

There is much more to this clear-eyed presentation, including Jarrett's call for Mueller and Rosenstein to resign, since they were responsible for the investigation, kept quiet and allowed it to unfold, and kept it secret. It is well worth five minutes.

The old bromide that "the cover-up is worse than the crime" derives from Watergate, a third-rate burglary, criminally. Endangering national security through racketeering could be a serious crime, indeed. But the cover-up, implicating the pinnacle of our justice and law enforcement hierarchies, could be even bigger, if you think about it. When you lose the police and prosecutors, you are no longer a functioning democratic republic.

No matter how much chaff the media generates, about half the public (46%, according to a pollreleased today) believes that the media make up stuff about Trump. And the Truth will out.

The key figure in blowing open the Uranium One scandal is the FBI informant:

... [a] confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.

That witness is represented by Victoria Toensing and is going to end up testifying before Senator Grassley's committee, though there may be another fight by Dems to suppress the testimony. That would be foolish, only implicating them down the road when this busts open.

John Solomon reports in The Hill:

The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday sought permission to interview an FBI informant who helped agents uncover a major corruption scheme by Russian nuclear officials seeking to aggressively expand their American business under the Obama administration.

The undercover witness, who has not been publicly identified, spent nearly five years helping agents build a case that resulted in one of Russia's top nuclear industry officials in the United States, a Russian financier and an American trucking executive to plead guilty in 2015 to charges related to a racketeering scheme that prosecutors said involved bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering.

The informant possesses information about the extent of Russian efforts to curry favor inside the United States that he has been prevented from disclosing to the courts and Congress because he signed an FBI nondisclosure statement, his lawyer Victoria Toensing told The Hill on Tuesday.

The undercover witness was threatened by Justice officials when he tried to disclose some of the information in a lawsuit during last year's election, forcing him to withdraw his legal action, the lawyer alleged.

I am not schooled in the niceties of the law, but it seems to me that a nondisclosure agreement under a previous attorney general can be waived by the current attorney general – especially when the NDA covers up the original A.G.'s potential misbehavior. But even if there is a lawsuit to be launched, it looks bad for the Dems to be covering up such a huge scandal.

This is real.

There is evidence.

A.G. Sessions just got his own man in place at the head of the Criminal Division of the FBI. Now actual investigations can begin and grand juries convene, as warranted. Witnesses can be called to those grand juries and placed under oath and on the record – with no counsel on hand. Ignoring that subpoena will get you thrown in jail, not just censured. Once the records of the Clinton Foundation are in hand, the work of Charles Ortel will be of tremendous assistance to prosecutors.

The Clinton machine has gotten away with big crimes for big money for decades. China picked up access to our aerospace technology, vaulting ahead its missile programs, during the Bill Clinton administration, and Clinton re-election campaign entities got illegal money from Chinese sources – some of it in paper bags.

But there is at least a chance that this time around, with a president who doesn't play by the old rules favoring his opponents, that the wheels of justice can resume turning for the Clintons, as they are supposed to do for all of us.

Obama DOJ Blocked FBI Informant from Talking about Uranium One Deal
DEBRA HEINE
OCTOBER 18, 2017

https://pjmedia.com/trending/lawyer-obama-doj-blocked-fbi-informant-talking-uranium-one-deal/


The FBI informant at the center of the Uranium One/Clinton Foundation scandal was blocked by the Obama Justice Department from telling Congress about the corruption he witnessed related to the Russian nuclear industry's efforts to win over Bill and Hillary Clinton and influence Obama administration policies, The Hill reported Wednesday.

The corruption allegedly included bribery, kickbacks, extortion, money-laundering, and Russia getting 20% of our uranium against the better judgement of just about everybody.

D.C. Attorney Victoria Toensing, a former chief counsel of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is representing the informant, an American businessman who worked for years undercover as an FBI confidential witness.

Toensing said that when he attempted to bring some of the allegations to light in a lawsuit last year, “the Obama Justice Department threatened him with loss of freedom. They said they would bring a criminal case against him for violating an NDA.”

Emails obtained by The Hill show that a civil attorney working with the former undercover witness described the pressure the Justice Department exerted to keep the client from disclosing to a federal court what he knew last summer.“The government was taking a very harsh position that threatened both your reputation and liberty,” the civil lawyer wrote in one email. In another, she added, “As you will recall the gov’t made serious threats sufficient to cause you to withdraw your civil complaint."

“All of the information about this corruption has not come out,” she said. “And so my client, the same part of my client that made him go into the FBI in the first place, says, 'This is wrong. What should I do about it?'”

Toensing told The Hill that she was working with members of Congress to see if they could get the Trump Justice Department or the FBI to free her client to talk to lawmakers.

On Fox News' Hannity Wednesday evening, Toensing announced that she had heard back from Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley and that his committee was interested in hearing more from the informant.

Appearing on the show along with Circa News' Sara Carter and The Hill's John Solomon, Toensing explained that when the informant started working for the FBI, he had to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

"They never gave him a copy of it and when he went public in 2016 ... the Justice Department under Loretta Lynch called him and threatened him with his freedom if he violated the NDA ... but they won't show him a copy of it," Toensing explained.

"So we decided to go to members of Congress in the Senate -- and I have breaking news for you, Sean: while I was in makeup, I got a letter from Chairman Grassley asking my client to give them information."

Toensing told Hannity that the situation was now a "constitutional issue" because the executive branch cannot prevent someone from giving information to Congress. "So it'll be a very interesting thing to see how the Justice Department responds," she said.

Un fucking believable. And nothing was done about any of it. Since all are complicit will they conclude it's best for the government to move on than to prosecute the 1st Black President of the United States?

This is not going to go away for the Dummo's just because they want it to. This is great stuff for the mid terms coming up in a year and things are going to get interesting. Sessions will see to that.

Everyone involved needs to remember some people who have crossed the clintons have met an untimely death. The FBI informant needs to be kept under intense and well trusted security!! I can only hope this pulls a lot of high placed people down!!

The democrats game plan is that if some issue comes up that is bad for their agenda they raise holy hell about some inconsequential issue that draws the spotlight away from the original issue and the lap dog press helps to blow it all out of proportion and keeps it in front of the public to let the original issue hopefully fade away. That is the power of the press and why Trump keeps harping about fake news, he sees it for what it is, a diversion.
