What if it's found that Trump did help the Russians

Recommended Posts

https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/press-release

 

"Today WikiLeaks begins its series on deals involving Hillary Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta. Mr Podesta is a long-term associate of the Clintons and was President Bill Clinton's Chief of Staff from 1998 until 2001. Mr Podesta also controls the Podesta Group, a major lobbying firm and is the Chair of the Center for American Progress (CAP), a Washington DC-based think tank. Part 1 of the Podesta Emails comprises 2,060 emails and 170 attachments and focuses on Mr Podesta's communications relating to nuclear energy, and media handling over donations to the Clinton Foundation from mining and nuclear interests; 1,244 of the emails reference nuclear energy. The full collection includes emails to and from Hillary Clinton.

In April 2015 the New York Times published a story about a company called "Uranium One" which was sold to Russian government-controlled interests, giving Russia effective control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for the production of nuclear weapons, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of US government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off the deal was the State Department, then headed by Secretary Clinton. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) comprises, among others, the secretaries of the Treasury, Defense, Homeland Security, Commerce and Energy.

As Russian interests gradually took control of Uranium One millions of dollars were donated to the Clinton Foundation between 2009 and 2013 from individuals directly connected to the deal including the Chairman of Uranium One, Ian Telfer. Although Mrs Clinton had an agreement with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors to the Clinton Foundation, the contributions from the Chairman of Uranium One were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons.

When the New York Times article was published the Clinton campaign spokesman, Brian Fallon, strongly rejected the possibility that then-Secretary Clinton exerted any influence in the US goverment's review of the sale of Uranium One, describing this possibility as "baseless".

Mr Fallon promptly sent a memo to the New York Times with a rebuttal of the story (Podesta Email ID 1489).

In this memo, Mr Fallon argued: "Apart from the fact that the State Department was one of just nine agencies involved in CFIUS, it is also true that within the State Department, the CFIUS approval process historically does not trigger the personal involvement of the Secretary of State. The State Department’s principal representative to CFIUS was the Assistant Secretary of State for Economic, Energy and Business Affairs. During the time period in question, that position was held by Jose Fernandez. As you are aware, Mr Fernandez has personally attested that “Secretary Clinton never intervened with me on any CFIUS matter.”

What the Clinton campaign spokesman failed to disclose, however, was the fact that a few days before sending his rebuttal to the New York Times, Jose Fernandez wrote on the evening of the 17 April 2015 to John Podesta following a phone call from Mr Podesta (Email ID 2053): "John, It was good to talk to you this afternoon, and I appreciate your taking the time to call. As I mentioned, I would like to do all I can to support Secretary Clinton, and would welcome your advice and help in steering me to the right persons in the campaign".

Five days after this email (22 April 2015), Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon wrote a memo to the New York Times, declaring that "Jose Fernandez has personally attested that 'Secretary Clinton never intervened with me on any CFIUS matter',” but Fallon failed to mention that Fernandez was hardly a neutral witness in this case, considering that he had agreed with John Podesta to play a role in the Clinton campaign.

The emails show that the contacts between John Podesta and Jose Fernandez go back to the time of internal Clinton campaign concern about the then-forthcoming book and movie "Clinton Cash" by Peter Schweizer on the financial dealings of the Clinton Foundation.

In an email dated 29 March 2015 (Email ID 2059), Jose Fernandez writes to Podesta: "Hi John, I trust you are getting a brief rest after a job well done. Thanks no doubt to your recommendation I have joined the CAP [Center for American Progress] board of trustees, which I'm finding extremely rewarding."

Julian Assange"

 

 

Can anyone tell me how often Wikileaks/Assange has been wrong?

 

 

On their opinions? Often they are wrong on what they opine.

Basically you posted emails showing Clinton was not involved in the meetings from that committe...but the guy who was helped on her campaign...so that is the gotcha?

None of which supports some scam that HIllary was paid to approve the deal...that she could not even approve on her own...or even veto by law?

 

Seriously...everytime anyone brings up Uranium One...you all look like idiots.

Notes from meeting with Russians said not to be damaging to Trump family

 

Notes from former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort on a meeting he attended last year with a Russian lobbyist and Donald Trump Jr. are not seen as damaging to the Trump family or campaign officials, according to government officials and others who have looked at the notes.

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/07/russian-meeting-notes-not-damaging-to-trump-family-242464

 

 

...the special counsel, who this year hired a staff of 16 lawyers with significant experience prosecuting such financial crimes, is focused on unraveling the Trump familys tangled financial and real estate empire in a bid to find any connections to dark money investments from Russian oligarchs and organized crime figures.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/sep/10/robert-muellers-donald-trump-investigation-hints-a/

 

This is how the swamp deals with outsiders! The swamp is the most corrupt group of people in the country they have all become millionaires off tax payer dollars. None of them could stand up to this scrutiny. These are the people our local Hagfish look up to, trust and obey.

Trump is the swamp dumbass.

 

And according to officials...no names huh?

The only officials that matter in this are Mueller's team.

You are defending corruption from Manafort and Flynn and others...sad.

So they're looking into why the meeting took place (already known; which was to get dirt on Hillary), implying that it was to negotiate on behalf of the Russians to undo the Magnitsky Act. They got Trump Jr there under false pretenses now the Dems are trying to say he was negotiating with a foreign govt because the Russian Lawyer wanted to flip the script.

 

So that' Mueller's end game? :lol:

 

And NFW is there ANY reason for the U.N. Ambassador to have any let alone HUNDREDs of unmasking requests.

 

Too funny libs. Too funny.

Implying? They know the Russians were offering dirt on Hillary in exchange for negotiating Magnitsky.

Flip the script? They went there knowing they were offering crap on Hillary...did Trump Jr. think they were going to offer it for free?

 

UNMASKING!!! :mad:

 

Focking broken record of stupid from people defending the actions of the Trump campaign and administration on this.

 

Meanwhile...

Trump knew the media knew about the meeting a while before it broke. In time for administration lawyers to create talking points about it...

Trump Jr. was lured to the meeting with the promise of dirt on Hillary. Sure thing........be right there. Once there instead of producing dirt the Russian lawyer who the Obama DOJ fought to get her access into the country started wanting to discuss Magnitsky Act then people started bailing.

 

These details have been known for MONTHS now.

Blaming Obama still...damn you don't seem to understand how dumb that makes you look.

 

Trump Jr knew they would promise dirt on Hillary..again, do you think he thought they would offer it for nothing? He knew who the meeting was with...he knew the history with Magnitsky. Nobody bailed because of hearing that...nobody.

 

You are struggling yet again to defend this meeting as nothing.

Also the Russian lawyer was commissioned by Fusion GPS (yes....the ones who commissioned the Dossier). Can you see the big picture yet?

That you are a fact denying conspiracy theory fool? Yes...that's been clear for quite some time.

How come Obama loosened up the dissemination of classified material protocols with weeks left in his administration? Would love to hear the reasoning behind that.

Care to point out what I have actually said about pee pee gate?

Fusion is a red herring you are throwing out as some damaging thing to anyone other than Trump.

Set up? So what if it was a set up? Trump Jr and Manafort fell for it. They took the meeting knowing what these Russian people were offering. That among many other meetings the campaign had with Russian officials.

Does that not set off any alarms in your head?

Do red herrings often refuse to testify?

 

The Russian Lawyer apparently seems to have ties with the Obama DOJ for why else would they grant her continued access? The fact she works for the same company that commissioned the Dossier doesn't mean a thing, huh? Fusion GPS is becoming a larger piece of the puzzle whether you can see that or not.

Still no crime or link to Russia?

 

Remember this:

 

The IC has actually shown where they did spread lies and fake stories - SloFlake

 

And he couldn't name one lie.

 

Good Times!

Actually I linked to and named several. You just didn't accept the links I offered you.

And the investigation is ongoing...do you think nothing comes out of it at all? Nothing for Manafort? Flynn? and so on?

Wasn't there obvious evidence of collusion? What's taking so long? If they are spending all this time and are going to throw out Manafort and Flynn, what a waste of everyone's time. Never mind what they're doing to the liberals already fragile psyche. These people can't take much more, can they?
