The Clinton-Holder-Lynch-Comey-Obama Gang and the Sessions Posse That Isn't There

THE REAL NEWS TODAY IS THAT SENATOR GRASSLEY HAS URANIUM ONE ON HIS TARGET LIST. And When Senator Grassley's Senate Judiciary Committee targets someone, it is usually a serious investigation. • • • THE URANIUM SCANDAL INFORMANT. Circa published an article on Thursday reporting that Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley has asked the attorney of a former FBI informant Wednesday to allow her client to testify before his Committee regarding the FBI's investigation regarding kickbacks and bribery by the Russian state controlled nuclear company that was approved to purchase 20% of United States uranium supply in 2010. Circa quoted a formal letter, in which Grassley, an Iowa Republican, asked Victoria Toensing, the lawyer representing the former FBI informant, to allow her client, who says he worked as a voluntary informant for the FBI, to be allowed to testify about the "crucial" eyewitness testimony he provided to the FBI regarding members of the Russian subsidiary and other connected players from 2009 until the FBI's prosecution of the defendants in 2014. Toensing's client was an American businessman who says he worked for four years undercover as an FBI confidential witness. • Toensing said her client was blocked by the Obama Justice Department, under then Attorney General Loretta Lynch, about testifying to Congress about his time as an informant for the FBI. He contends that he has pertinent information that the Russian's were attempting to gain access to former President Bill Clinton and his wife, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to influence the Obama administration's decision on the purchase of Uranium One, Toensing said. Grassley wrote in the letter : "Reporting indicates that 'the informant’s work was crucial to the government’s ability to crack a multimillion dollar racketeering scheme by Russian nuclear officials on US soil' and that the scheme involved 'bribery, kickbacks, money laundering, and extortion.' Further, the reporting indicates that your client can testify that 'FBI agents made comments to him suggesting political pressure was exerted during the Justice Department probe' and 'that there was specific evidence that could have scuttled approval of the Uranium One deal.' It appears that your client possesses unique information about the Uranium One/Rosatom transaction and how the Justice Department handled the criminal investigation into the Russian criminal conspiracy." Grassley added that "such information is critical to the Committee’s oversight of the Justice Department and its ongoing inquiry into the manner in which CFIUS approved the transaction. Accordingly, the Committee requests to interview your client." • Toensing, who formerly worked under the Reagan Justice Department and is the former chief counsel of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said told Circa Tuesday that she was attempting to get Congress to persuade the Trump Justice Department or the FBI to free her client of a non-disclosure agreement he signed with the FBI so that he can talk to lawmakers. Toensing told Circa, the letter from Grassley is important and "sets up a constitutional issue, the executive branch cannot prevent somebody from giving information to the legislative branch. He's truly a patriot, he started this because he cares for his country and he's doing this because he cares for his country." • On Wednesday, Grassley asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions if the Department of Justice is looking into revelations that the FBI was investigating officials tied to a Russian state-controlled nuclear company after TheHill and Circa published the first stories revealing the information, asking Sessions : “What are you doing to find out how the Russian takeover of the American uranium was allowed to occur despite criminal conduct by the Russia company that the Obama administration approved the purchase." Grassley said he wants to know why the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, approved the Rosatom purchase of Uranium One despite the existence of an FBI investigation which could have impacted CFIUS’ approval. • Circa reported Tuesday that 15 months before the 13 members of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, known as CFIUS, approved the sale of Uranium One to Russia’s nuclear arm giant Rosatom, the FBI had already began investigating persons who were connected to the Russian state corporation. The FBI said in court documents and in interviews conducted by Circa that by 2010 they had gathered enough evidence to prove that Rosatom-connected officials were engaged in a global bribery schedule that included kickbacks and money laundering. Despite that, the US government approved the sale. FBI officials told Circa the investigation could have prevented the sale of Uranium One, which controlled 20% of US uranium supply under US law. The deal which required approval by CFIUS, an inter-agency committee who reviews transactions that leads to a change of control of a U.S. business to a foreign person or entity that may have an impact on the national security of the United States. At the time of the Uranium One deal the panel was chaired by then-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and included then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and then-Attorney General Eric Holder. • • • WERE MUELLER AND ROSENSTEIN HIDING NEAR-"TREASON" INFORMATION? American Thinker's Daniel John Sobieski wrote on Wednesday that : "Back in July, I called for a criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s collusion with Russia to turn over control of 20% of our uranium supplies to Russian interests in return for some $145 million in donation to the Clinton Foundation. Now it turns out that there was one, an FBI investigation dating back to 2009, with current Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller up to their eyeballs in covering up evidence of Hillary’s collusion, bordering on treason, with Vladimir Putin’s Russia." Prior to the Obama administration approving the controversial deal in 2010 giving Russia 20% of America’s uranium, the FBI had evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were involved in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering in order to benefit Vladimir Putin, says a report by John Solomon and Alison Spann of TheHill : "Federal agents used a confidential US 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." TheHill's report shows that the investigation was supervised by then-US Attorney Rod Rosenstein, who is now President Trump’s Deputy Attorney General, and then-Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who is now the deputy FBI director under Trump. Robert Mueller was head of the FBI from September 2001 to September 2013 until James Comey took over as FBI Director in 2013. They were BOTH involved in this Russian scam since the case started in 2009 and ended in 2015. • Sobieski asks very appropriately : "If evidence of bribery, kickbacks, extortion, and money laundering in the Uranium One affair are not grounds for a special prosecutor assigned to investigate Hillary Clinton, what is? Rosenstein and Mueller, by their silence on this investigation hidden from Congress and the American people, are unindicted co-conspirators in Hillary’s crimes and should be terminated immediately." • It's easy to understand why the Obama Justice Department covered up and slow-walked this investigation, but, as Sobieski points out : "What about the Trump DOJ and our missing-in-action Attorney General Jeff Sessions? Was this the reason Democrats were hot-to-trot on Sessions recusing himself from all things Russian? How could Rosenstein sit before Congress and not say anything, only to appoint Mueller to investigate Team Trump? Rosenstein and Mueller are poster children for duplicity and corruption." • Sobieski's point is this -- while collusion is not a crime, and after 15 months there is still No Evidence of collusion between the Trump team and the Russians -- BUT "jeopardizing American national security by conspiring to supply the Russian nuclear program with our uranium is a crime of the highest order." • • • THE CLINTON-HOLDER-LYNCH-COMEY-OBAMA GANG. Hillary Clinton's role in the Uranium One deal with Russia was pivotal, and it ended by "giving Russian interests control of 20M of America's uranium supply in exchange for donations of $145 million to the Clinton Foundation. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a federal crime," sawa Sobieski. • Clinton Cash author Peter Schweitzer noted at the time : "There needs to be a federal investigation into the Russian uranium deal then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved after the Clinton Foundation receiving $145 million from the shareholders of Uranium One....Look, there are a couple of things that are extremely troubling about the deal we touched on. Number one is the amount of money $145 million. We are not talking about a super PAC giving a million dollars to support a candidate. We are not talking about campaign donations. We are talking about $145 million which by the way is 75% or more of the annual budget of the Clinton Foundation itself so it’s a huge sum of money. Second of all we are talking about a fundamental issue of national security which is uranium -- it’s not like oil and gas that you can find all sorts of places. There are precious few places you can mine for uranium, in the United States is one of those areas. And number three we are talking about the Russian government. A lot of people don’t realize it now, but in parts of the Midwest, American soil is owned by Vladimir Putin’s government because this deal went through. And in addition to the $145 million Bill Clinton got half a million dollars, $500,000 for a 20-minute speech from a Russian investment bank tied to the Kremlin, two months before the State Department signed off on this deal. It just stinks to high heaven and I think it requires a major investigation by the federal government.” • Yet seemingly the only thing that warrants a major DOJ investigation is 20 minutes of Donald Trump Jr’s time spent talking to a Russian about an entirely different matter. But, Democrats and the media -- and thus far the Sessions DOJ -- see no problem with Bill and Hillary Clinton brokering deals giving Russia and Putin 20M of the US uranium supply to benefit Clinton Foundation donors, including Canadian billionaire Frank Giustra, who flew to Kazakhstan with Bill Clinton to meet the Central Asian nation’s president. Shortly thereafter, Giustra secured a lucrative concession to mine Kazakh uranium, despite his company’s lack of experience with uranium ore. As Bill Clinton opened doors for Giustra, the financier gave generously to the Clinton Foundation. The New York Times reported that the Giustra-Clinton mutual back-scratching gave Clinton donor Giustra control of a significant portion of the world’s uranium supply, and according to the NYT report : "Just months after the Kazakh pact was finalized, Mr. Clinton’s charitable foundation received its own windfall : a $31.3 million donation from Mr. Giustra that had remained a secret until he acknowledged it [much later]. The gift, combined with Mr. Giustra’s [later] public pledge to give the William J. Clinton Foundation an additional $100 million, secured Mr. Giustra a place in Mr. Clinton’s inner circle, an exclusive club of wealthy entrepreneurs in which friendship with the former president has its privileges." • Nice work if you can get it -- and the Clintons seemed to be masters at fleecing the world's rich and sleazy in return for money for their 'charitable' Foundation. • Actually, there is no longer any need an investigation of Hillary Clinton and Uranium One. This 'secret' FBI investigation in conjunction to what we already knew, says Sobieski, "is prima facie evidence of criminal corruption and intentionally putting of American national security at risk for personal financial gain. If an indictment of Hilary Clinton is not forthcoming, then Jeff Sessions should also be fired. • • • WHAT IS SESSIONS DOING TO EARN THE TITLE ATTORNEY GENERAL? The answer is "not much." He flits around talking about gun control and rounding up illegal immigrants and bringing crime rates down -- BUT that is ordinary DOJ stuff for his staff. Attorney General Sessions should be working the BIG issues -- the intertwined scandals that bear the names of Clinton-Rhodes-Lerner-Holder-Comey-Lynch-Powers-Rice-Mueller. And, their boss Barack Obama. And, his financier George Soros. Why is every conservative talking head and radio /TV host silent on the Sessions question??? They should be shouting to the rooftops that the Sessions DOJ is doing NOTHING to bring the Clinton-Rhodes-Lerner-Holder-Comey-Lynch-Powers-Rice-Mueller-Obama-Soros criminal gang to the bar of justice. It is too late to argue htat Sessions is lining up his investigations. Sme of it doesn't even reauire much invstigation -- a junior DOJ laywer could write the criminal complaint. Take the Lois Lerner-IRS Tea Party persecution. Of all the scandals, this was the most provable -- selective targeting of political groups, destruction of data, trashing computers, pleading the Fifth, requests for information obstructed and ignored, contempt of Congress. All of it is on record. And, what did Sessions do? He decided not to prosecute !!!! • William Buckley asked his friend, President, Richard Nixon, to do the right thing for the country and resign. What about Jeff Sessions?? An American Thinker article last week asked us ot imagine the different scenario in the DOJ if Jeanine Pirro, Allan West, or Greg Abbott were AG. I would like to change that list -- we can all imagine what would be going on now if Rudy Giuliana or Chris Christie or Ted Cruz were Attorney General -- someone, as American Thinker said "equipped with the intelligence and speech-making skills to implement a genuine offense against the former administration’s lawbreakers. Imagine the non-stop flood of stories seizing the momentum in the media, overwhelming the fraudulent reporting of Russian-Trump collusion with a slew of fact-driven investigations into real collusions and real circumventions related to unmasking, Benghazi, Iran, pay to play Clinton Foundation schemes, the lot. Imagine the current status of the untethered Mueller investigation: (1) He’s never appointed in the first place. (2) He gets appointed but with a defined deliverable within a defined time-frame, and Rosenstein gets a pink slip. (3) He gets appointed but is shamed into closing shop by a counter investigation into spending abuses and hiring a politically biased staff pursuing politically-biased aims. (4) Or best of all, he simply gets terminated by Attorney General West-Pirro-Abbott for the abuses of number 3." • • • DEAR READERS, the articles and blog posts calling for Session’s resignation are multiplying. Conservative Trump supporters are not happy with Sessions and want him to resign or be fired. Among the conservative journalists, only Fox News’ Gregg Jarrett appears to have the guts to openly assess the performance of Jeff Sessions as "impotent, meriting resignation or termination." • I add that I like Jeff Sessions. He is a staunch conservative with all the right ideas. But, he seems to be in way over his head. I have asked before -- is he being blackmailed? beaten up by his former Senate colleagues so he won't rock the boat? frightened of the Swamp and unable to take it on??? Whatever it is, it is first and foremost, a great disservice to the America he obviously loves. The Republic deserves better than to be forced to swallow and accept that the criminal cabal that 'ruled' for eight years will go free and rich to their retirement. That is not justice. It is not constitutional. That is not fair to the Americans who elected Donald Trump to Drain the Swamp. • Matthew, Chapter 7, begins with the words :"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." The chapter is largely a long quotation of Jesus words as He tried to teach love and mercy as a replacement for the Old Testament rigor of the Law. In verses 7-12, He gives the real meaning of the Law : "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." But, even Jesus could be agitated by corruption, saying in verses 15-23 : "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." • This is the work President Trump has set out to do, and Christians, conservatives, and other ethical Americans understand that and rally to him. • It is time for Jeff Sessions to resign -- or for President Trump to find an honorable title and position for the Attorney General that gets him out of the way of the real work of American Justice.

  2. Federal agents were used 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. FBI investigators' findings suggest that maybe it wasn't such a good idea to let Russia buy the mining company.

    Uranium One, as the firm became known under Russian ownership, controls one-fifth of uranium mining capacity in the United States — a sizable share. Friends for this reason alone, the wisdom approving Russia's takeover of the company is very debatable.

    Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies,” including Hillary Clinton’s State Department.

  3. It's a very thin and slippery wire that political appointees walk. And when they fall off they fall very hard.

    If Jeff Sessions leaves Justice he has no place else to go really, except home and write a best seller book

  4. When Donald Trump was putting together Jeff Sessions was a known hard line conservative. As a Senator in hearings he went for the truth.

    Now it seems knowing the truth and doing something with it is not on his plate. So his plate should be washed clean and be gone from the Round Table.
