Senate Judiciary opens probe into Obama-era Russian nuclear bribery case

The Senate Judiciary Committee has launched a probe into a Russian nuclear bribery case, demanding several federal agencies disclose whether they knew the FBI had uncovered the corruption before the Obama administration in 2010 approved a controversial uranium deal with Moscow.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the committee chairman, on Wednesday raised the issue in public during questioning of Attorney General Jeff Sessions during an oversight hearing.

The senator cited a series of The Hill stories that showed the FBI had evidence that Russian nuclear officials were involved in a racketeering scheme as early as 2009, well before the uranium deal was approved.

"According to government documents and recent news reports, the Justice Department had an ongoing criminal investigation for bribery, extortion, money laundering, into officials for a Russian company making purchase of Uranium One," Grassley said. "That purchase was approved during previous administration and resulted in Russians owning 20 percent of America's uranium mining capacity.

"What are you doing to find out how Russian takeover of American uranium was allowed to occur despite criminal conduct by Russian company that the Obama administration approved to make the purchase?" he asked Sessions.

Sessions responded: "I would offer that some people have gone to jail in that transaction already, but the article talks about other issues. Without confirming or denying existence of any particular investigation, I would say I hear your concerns and they will be reviewed."

Senate Judiciary aides said the committee had sent requests for information to 10 federal agencies involved in the Russian uranium approvals.

The committee is discussing other bipartisan requests to make in the coming days, and Grassley also is expected to seek access to potential witnesses soon, escalating from the information requests he made a few years back, according to people familiar with the investigation.

The senator also specifically conveyed in recent letters he no longer accepts the Obama administration's assurances from 2015 that there was no basis to block the Uranium One deal.

"I am not convinced by these assurances," Grassley wrote the Homeland Security Department last week. "The sale of Uranium One resulted in a Russian government takeover of a significant portion of U.S. uranium mining capacity. In light of that fact, very serious questions remain about the basis for the finding that this transaction did not threaten to impair U.S. national security."

Though Wednesday's hearing was scheduled for other purposes, aides said they expected Grassley to ask Sessions questions about a story published in The Hill on Tuesday that disclosed the FBI had uncovered evidence showing Russian nuclear officials were engaged in a racketeering scheme involving bribes, kickbacks and money laundering designed to expand Russian President Vladimir Putin's atomic energy business on U.S. soil.

The evidence was first gathered in 2009 and 2010, but Department of Justice officials waited until 2014 to bring any charges. In between that time, President Obama's multi-agency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) gave approval to Russia's Rosatom to buy a Canadian mining company called Uranium One that controlled 20 percent of America's uranium deposits.

The committee's members at the time included former Attorney General Eric Holder and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whose husband, former President Bill Clinton, collected large speech fees and millions in charitable donations from Russia and other entities interested in the outcome of the decision.

Grassley dispatched letters last week to all the federal agencies whose executives served on the CFIUS when the decision was made, demanding to know whether they were aware of the FBI case before they voted.

He also questioned whether the documented corruption that was uncovered posed a national security threat that should have voided approval of the uranium deal.

"It has recently come to the Committee’s attention that employees of Rosatom were involved in a criminal enterprise involving a conspiracy to commit extortion and money laundering during the time of the CFIUS transaction," Grassley wrote in one such letter addressed to Sessions.

"The fact that Rosatom subsidiaries in the United States were under criminal investigation as a result of a U.S. intelligence operation apparently around the time CFIUS approved the Uranium One/Rosatom transaction raises questions about whether that information factored into CFIUS’ decision to approve the transaction," the chairman added.

Grassley has been one of the few congressional leaders to have consistently raised questions about the uranium deal, and in 2015 agencies told his committee they had no national security reasons to reject the Moscow approval.

Those representations, however, made no mention of the FBI probe or the national security issues uncovered by agents, including the fact that Russian officials had compromised an American trucking firm that transported uranium.

Grassley's letters demanded answers from the agencies by no later than Oct. 26.

Last bit from the video...when asked about the Clintons/Obama administration Sessions refused to comment citing an ongoing investigation. This is getting very interesting.

[Pavlov]

The assistant FBI director in charge of criminal cases and the chair of the House Intelligence Committee were never briefed because of....leaks. :rollinThe latter, definitely.


Was anyone from the CFIUS ever briefed on the criminal enterprise Rosatom was running?Rosatom, or the guy who was actually prosecuted? This is the trouble with innuendo, TSA. You just smear your shit on everything possible and just hope you can get away with it. This is why I ask you for specifics you will never give and just get pissy about.

I'll ask again.

FBI informant blocked from telling Congress about Russia nuclear corruption case, lawyer says

An American businessman who worked for years undercover as an FBI confidential witness was blocked by the Obama Justice Department from telling Congress about conversations and transactions he witnessed related to the Russian nuclear industry's efforts to win favor with Bill and Hillary Clinton and influence Obama administration decisions, his lawyer tells The Hill.

Attorney Victoria Toensing, a former Reagan Justice Department official and former chief counsel of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday she is working with members of Congress to see if they can get the Trump Justice Department or the FBI to free her client to talk to lawmakers.

“All of the information about this corruption has not come out,” she said in an interview Tuesday. “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 said she also possesses memos that recount how the Justice Department last year threatened her client when he attempted to file a lawsuit that could have drawn attention to the Russian corruption during the 2016 presidential race as well as helped him recover some of the money Russians stole from him through kickbacks during the FBI probe.

The undercover client witnessed “a lot of bribery going on around the U.S.” but was asked by the FBI to sign a nondisclosure agreement (NDA) that prevents him from revealing what he knows to Congress, Toensing explained.

When he tried to bring some of the allegations to light in the 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,” she added.

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."

Justice Department and FBI officials did not return calls seeking comment.

Federal court records from 2014 and 2015 show that a wide-ranging FBI probe into Russian nuclear industry corruption was facilitated by an unnamed American consultant who worked for the Moscow-based nuclear energy giant Rosatom's Tenex subsidiary on a multiyear campaign to grow Moscow's uranium business inside the United States.

Those efforts included winning U.S. approval of Rosatom's controversial purchase of Canada-based Uranium One's American uranium assets, securing new approvals to sell new commercial uranium to the federally backed United States Enrichment Corporation and winning billions in new U.S. utility contracts for Russian nuclear fuel.

The court records alternatively refer to the FBI informant as "confidential source 1," the "contractor" and "Victim 1" without ever naming him. The records make clear he came to the FBI immediately after Russian officials asked him to engage in illegal activity in 2009.

Toensing said the confidential witness identified in those court documents is her client.

Working as a confidential witness, the businessman made kickback payments to the Russians with the approval of his FBI handlers and gathered other evidence, the records show.

Sources told The Hill the informant's work was crucial to the government's ability to crack a multimillion dollar racketeering scheme by Russian nuclear officials on U.S. soil that involved bribery, kickbacks, money laundering and extortion. In the end, the main Russian executive sent to the U.S. to expand Russian President Vladimir Putin's nuclear business, an executive of an American trucking firm and a Russian financier from New Jersey pled guilty to various crimes in a case that started in 2009 and ended in late 2015.

Toensing added her client has had contact from multiple congressional committees seeking information about what he witnessed inside the Russian nuclear industry and has been unable to provide that information because of the NDA.

“He can’t disclose anything that he came upon in the course of his work,” she said.

The information the client possesses includes specific allegations that Russian executives made to him about how they facilitated the Obama administration's 2010 approval of the Uranium One deal and sent millions of dollars in Russian nuclear funds to the U.S. to an entity assisting Bill Clinton's foundation. At the time, Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary of State on the government panel that approved the deal, the lawyer said.

It has been previously reported that Bill Clinton accepted $500,000 in Russian speaking fees in 2010 and collected millions more in donations for his foundation from parties with a stake in the Uranium One deal, transactions that both the Clintons and the Obama administration denied had any influence on the approval.

Federal law requires officials such as then-Secretary Clinton to avoid both conflicts of interest and the appearance of conflicts when it comes to the business and financial interests of a spouse. Clinton signed a special agreement when she became secretary to disclose her husband's charitable donations to the State Department to avoid any such conflicts. Both Clintons have repeatedly insisted no donations raised by the foundation ever influenced her decisions.

A spokesman and a lawyer for the Clintons did not return calls seeking comment.

Toensing said her client can also testify that FBI agents made comments to him suggesting political pressure was exerted during the Justice Department probe of the Russia corruption case and that there was specific evidence that could have scuttled approval of the Uranium One deal if it became public.

“There was corruption going on and it was never brought forward. And in fact, the sale of the uranium went on despite the government knowing about all of this corruption. So he's coming forward. He wants the right thing to be done, but he cannot do it unless he is released from the NDA,” she added.

[Spurminator]

Not sure how Russia stoking BLM is a bad mark on liberals, seeing as the objective to amplify BLM was successful based on conservatives calling for them to be classified as a hate group.

Case in point, it wasn't liberals in here posting Breitbart articles about questionable "BLM" accounts like "FuckYoFlag911" or whatever.

Now they're doing it with Antifa and y'all are lapping it up again.

The Russian troll factory worked wonders on you guys. Sad.

Wait...So Russians funding BLM is OK because it made conservatives want to list them as a hate group? And it's all because of $80k or so of said Russian funding causing that and not BLM's violence? A little clarity plz.

No, it's not ok. I believe we should investigate and understand all of their operations and also use this as an opportunity to increase our skepticism towards messages from both sides. I'm saying it's not exactly an indictment of liberals when people are tricked enough by false rhetoric that they start to suggest BLM is the same as ISIS.

The donations mentioned in the article went towards BLM causes, but that was not the full extent to which Russia used BLM as a wedge issue. Along with gun rights, BLM was a common topic in Russian troll farms (I can't believe I typed those words) to stir up anger in the US. In the same way, a good number of liberals probably shared and engaged with some of their posts from sketchy "2nd Amendment Superfan" accounts.

"BLM's violence" is a hyperbolic and unsubstantiated statement, and is the kind of rhetoric that is being amplified by those hack accounts. You're tying riots to BLM because members of both happen to be black and angered by black people being killed by law enforcement without accountability. You could make the same connection to feminists.

The oligarchy/VRWC/Repugs started dividing, polarizing America in 80s, and esp early 90s when Gingrich ran Congress. The Russians recognized a divided America is weakened America, giving Pootin/Russia an opening to increase its influence from a weakened socio/economic/industrial base of Russia.

So Pootin, outsmarting the fuck out of fat, incompetent, teevee-watching America, exploited the polarization that the Repugs and their racist, xenophobic, paranoid, Christian supremacist started decades earlier. This explains why Repugs are so enamored of Pootin and his murderous Macho Man autocracy.

There is no doubt that Mueller, etc will find the the Repugs were informed by Pootin's people that Pootin was attacking Hillary, so Repugs knew Pootin would want to be repaid (lifting sanctions, letting the $500B Exxon deal go through)

How many have colluded? Russia has your personal information such as SSN, bank records. Etc. You comfortable with that? I'm comfortable with evidence. Whether there was collusion or not is still not a proven fact-and my perspective is not based upon Trump. He would deserve whatever fate he would meet. If one were to want to successfully impeach him they better have evidence because an impeachment is essentially a trial. As to amping up tensions with Russia, that too should be justified. It would seem odd to me that there are so many (even if rightfully so) concerned about Trump's inability to shut his pie hole when it comes to going off on Korea but they have no problem about continuing to accuse the Russians of committing an act of war against the U.S. as a result of their involvement in our last elections. This is the modern day version of the Red Menace mechanism used to fuel the Cold War (IF Russia had my information, btw, it couldn't be that much different than the U.S. government having my information. In fact, what would be more egregious: a foreign entity invading my personal information or my own country doing the same?)

Obama Administration, Hillary Clinton Covered Up Their Deep, Corrupt Ties To Russia

Russian Scandal: As the old saying goes, it's not the crime, it's the cover-up. That's certainly true with the growing scandal over the Russians' extortion racket in the U.S., possible bribes to the Bill and Hillary Clinton Foundation, and the FBI's curious decision not to reveal the Russians' activities and ties to the Obama administration.

This week, IBD discussed new reports from the Daily Caller, The Hill and Circa.com, of how the Russians, through their state nuclear company Rosatom, engaged in a campaign of bribery, extortion, money laundering and racketeering to gain control over U.S. nuclear assets in the private sector.

Aided by an American informant, the FBI gathered a mountain of evidence that showed, for instance, that Russia had corrupted an American uranium trucking company through bribes.

But that was the least of it. As The Hill reported, eyewitness accounts and documents indicate that the Russian nuclear pirates spent millions of dollars to "benefit former President Bill Clinton's charitable foundation."

At the time this was happening, Rosatom was seeking to acquire a stake in Canadian-based Uranium One, which then controlled close to 20% of U.S. uranium supplies.

So why would Russian nuclear officials send money to the Clinton Foundation? As we've pointed out, Hillary Clinton was then secretary of state. In that position, she sat on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), the panel that decides whether strategic foreign investments such as Rosatom's will be allowed to proceed.

Despite the FBI's evidence of bribery, extortion and racketeering, Hillary Clinton and then-Attorney General Eric Holder and other members of the Obama administration approved of Rosatom's takeover of Uranium One.

One hand washes the other. The money flowed, and what remained of the investigation was hushed up. The investigation ran for two years, from 2009 to 2010, and then went quiet, right after CFIUS approved of Rosatom's purchase of Uranium One assets. In 2014, the Justice Department issued a few handslaps in what appeared to be major crimes, but that was all. By then, Hillary had already left office, and Holder was about to.

The question, as always, is why?

Well, certainly greed. The Clinton Foundation lined its pockets. By one estimate, it took in $145 million from investors linked to Uranium One.

But there was also politics. President Obama, despite his rocky political beginnings in 2009, remained popular with average Americans. He wanted a legacy of success, and knew that Hillary Clinton could help ensure that.

But Clinton, his presumed successor, had to appear clean if she had any hope of being elected president herself. So a blanket of silence was thrown over the whole criminal enterprise.

Unfortunately, it goes even deeper than that.

As we wrote in 2016, based on Peter Schweizer's well-documented book, "Clinton Cash," Clinton and her associates were deeply involved with the Russians on many levels. That's what makes her recent protestations about being cheated out of the presidency by a Russian-Trump conspiracy so laughable.

Hillary Clinton's campaign chief, John Podesta, served on the board of a small Russian energy company, Joule Unlimited, along with Russian officials. It took in $35 million from a Russian government fund, of course linked to Vladimir Putin. That money came just two months after Podesta joined the board.

Podesta's own Center for American Progress took in $5.25 million from the Sea Change Foundation from 2009 to 2013. What was the Sea Change Foundation? A somewhat questionable group that received a chunk of cash from a Bermuda-based group called Klein Ltd., which appears to have ties to the Russians.

Didn't know that? Neither the Democrats nor media bothered to tell you.

Nor did Podesta. He was required by law to inform the government of that relationship, but it slipped his mind.

But even more troubling is the fact that Hillary Clinton recruited U.S. high-tech biggies such as Google, Cisco and Intel to help Russia set up a high-tech hub under the questionable auspices of the Russian Skoldovo foundation.

That group seems to have been set up by Putin-crony and Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg explicitly for the purpose of sending advanced U.S. technology to Skoldovo, a kind of Russian Silicon Valley that Putin wanted built.

But its aims weren't altruistic.

Of the 28 U.S., European and Russian firms that took part in that effort, 17 were donors to the Clinton Foundation.

FBI Assistant Special Agent Lucia Ziobro in 2014 sent a letter to those private U.S. companies taking part, which stated: "The FBI believes the true motives of the Russian partners, who are often funded by the government, is to gain access to classified, sensitive, and emerging technology from companies."

If Hillary Clinton's State Department ever objected to this arrangement, we're unaware of it.

There's of course much more. We've written on it extensively, following the lead of many diligent news organizations that have worked hard to uncover the details. But, curiously, the mainstream media remain mum, or report only perfunctorily on the details.

The fact is, as we've said repeatedly, there is a Russian scandal of epic proportions, one involving bribery, racketeering, money laundering, extortion and control of the nation's nuclear assets.

But, no, it doesn't involve Donald Trump. It involves the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton and President Obama, under whose administration the Russians felt emboldened to openly give money to government officials and their allies to gain favors and control over a vital national security resource.

Given all this, it's time to end the farcical investigation currently being conducted by Robert Mueller. A new investigation should be started of the very probable violations of the law committed by the Obama administration, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.

Neither Obama, nor Clinton, nor the Democratic Party have been forthcoming on this troubling dalliance with a country that has never been friendly to the U.S., and which even today has nuclear weapons pointed in our direction. It's time that the Justice Department and Congress get to the bottom of this.

Mueller Now Investigating Democratic Lobbyist Tony Podesta

WASHINGTON — Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group are now the subjects of a federal investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, three sources with knowledge of the matter told NBC News.

The probe of Podesta and his Democratic-leaning lobbying firm grew out of Mueller's inquiry into the finances of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to the sources. As special counsel, Mueller has been tasked with investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Manafort had organized a public relations campaign for a non-profit called the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine (ECMU). Podesta's company was one of many firms that worked on the campaign, which promoted Ukraine's image in the West.

The sources said the investigation into Podesta and his company began as more of a fact-finding mission about the ECMU and Manafort's role in the campaign, but has now morphed into a criminal inquiry into whether the firm violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act, known as FARA.

Under FARA, people who lobby on behalf of foreign governments, leaders or political parties must file detailed disclosures about their spending and activities with the Justice Department. Willful failure to file the forms is a felony and can result in up to five years in prison, though such prosecutions are rare.

The Podesta Group amended its FARA registration to accurately reflect its work with ECMU only after the payments were reported by the media. Manafort's firm also filed a FARA registration after media reports in June disclosed its work in Ukraine from 2012 through 2014.

The ECMU was reportedly backed by the Party of Regions, the pro-Russian and oligarch-funded Ukrainian political party for which Manafort worked as a consultant, and which paid his firm millions. Viktor Yanukovych of the Party of Regions, a Manafort client, was president of Ukraine during the ECMU campaign, which ran from 2012 to 2014. He fled the country in 2014.

Tony Podesta is the chairman of the Podesta Group and the brother of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign chairman. John Podesta is not currently affiliated with the Podesta Group and is not part of Mueller's investigation.

In a statement, a spokesman for the Podesta Group said the firm "is cooperating fully with the Special Counsel's office and has taken every possible step to provide documentation that confirms timely compliance. In all of our client engagements, the Podesta Group conducts due diligence and consults with appropriate legal experts to ensure compliance with disclosure regulations at all times — and we did so in this case."

A spokesperson for Mueller's office declined to comment.

In late August, NBC News reported that Special Counsel Mueller's team sent subpoenas to six firms who were involved in public relations lobbying for ECMU.

The subpoenas sought testimony from public relations executives who worked on the campaign organized by Manafort, people directly familiar with the matter told NBC News.

One source with knowledge of the investigation said that federal investigators have now met with several former staffers of the various firms involved in the ECMU campaign.

Mueller's team is closely examining the lobbying campaign, which ran between 2012 and 2014. Six firms participated in the public relations effort that Manafort coordinated, paid for by the Brussels-based ECMU. The stated goal was to build support for Ukraine's entry into the European Union, the same source said.

Two of the firms, Podesta Group and Mercury LLC, worked in Washington with Manafort partner Rick Gates, according to lobbying disclosure records. Three other firms worked in Europe, the executive said. NBC News could not confirm the identity of those three.

Manafort, whose Alexandria, Virginia, apartment was raided by FBI agents in July, has emerged as a key figure in the Mueller probe. The inquiry into the lobbying campaign appears to be part of a larger investigation into his work for the Party of Regions, his offshore banking transactions, his tax compliance and his real estate dealings, people familiar with the probe have told NBC News.

The Associated Press first revealed the pro-Ukraine lobbying campaign in August 2016, while Manafort was still running the Trump campaign. Manafort left the campaign within days.

The report said the ECMU campaign was designed to sway public opinion and included attempts to solicit favorable press coverage in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Trump Admin Revokes Bill Browder's US Visa

Bill Browder is the American/British financier who uncovered $230M tax fraud scheme in Russia, and was subsequently blamed for the fraud while his auditor Sergei Magnitsky was murdered in Russian prison- leading to the Magnitsky act and sanctions at the center of Trump’s Russia collusion.

Russia is desperately trying to get their hands on Browder in order to tie up the loose ends on Putin’s corruption and fraud. They’ve issued 5 Interpol arrest warrants- weaponizing Interpol for their corrupt and anti-western schemes.

Except now they have collaborators in the White House and US Congress.

Right after Russia issued the latest Interpol warrant for Browder, the Trump administration revoked his US visa.


This is referring to a National Review article, which explains a lot more:

Why Is Bill Browder Banned from America? (http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/452978/why-bill-browder-banned-america)

In the wake of Canada’s new Magnitsky act, Putin has tried again. Tried for a fifth time. Interpol has accepted his request.

Worse, the U.S. government seems in partnership with the Kremlin:

Our government has revoked Browder’s visa. (American-born, Browder is a British citizen.) What the …?

Let this error be corrected speedily.

It’s Putin’s killers and thieves who should be barred from the U.S., not their nemesis, Browder.

A US consulting firm with ties to the Clintons lobbied on behalf of Russia's nuclear giant

"They had no idea the informant was reporting to the FBI from the beginning and the Russians let their guard down with him, assuming he was just as bad as they were," said a source, with direct knowledge of the investigation. "The Russians were very verbal about the Clintons and Obama, using racial epithet to describe Obama and how weak he was and they were confident they had the upper hand, they were sure that CFIUS would comply."

"The FBI's confidential informant claims to have crucial information that can tie together the extent to which the Russian's went to infiltrate and obtain American uranium supplies. The confidential informant, who was asked by the FBI to wear wires to record his conversations with the Russians, according to court documents obtained by Circa, continued to work with the Russian entities and was privy to conversations regarding APCO and the Clinton Global Initiative during his four years under-cover, according to sources closely connected to the confidential informant. The informant said he would provide his testimony to Congress as long his non-disclosure agreement with the FBI is lifted, his attorney Victoria Toensing told Circa."

"One of the things this story has lacked to this point is an eyewitness who saw what was going on in regard to Russian efforts to cooperate or collude with the Clintons as it pertains to this uranium deal. I think step number one, is the justice department needs to remove the gag order and allow him to speak openly," said Schweizer.

On Wednesday night, Senate Judiciary Committee's Chairman Charles Grassely made a formal request for her client to testify before his committee regarding the FBI's investigation and his role as an eyewitness after Circa and The Hill first published reports about the bureau's investigation on Tuesday.

In a formal letter, Grassley, an Iowa Republican, said the confidential informant can provide "crucial" eyewitness testimony regarding members of the Russian subsidiary and other connected players during his time aiding the FBI in the case.

“My client was providing information for a couple years before this really got voted on by CFIUS, and here’s the rub," Toensing said. "High-ranking law enforcement officials in the Obama Administration knew that there was corruption in this company and that information about the corruption in this Russian entity never made it to CFIUS, evidently, because CFIUS authorized the purchase in 2010.”

Regarding the confidential informant, Grassely stated, "it looks like at least one more person has information on that and the public ought to know about it. I think I raised enough questions with the attorney general (Jeff Sessions) yesterday," during a hearing with the Judiciary Committee.

Toensing told Circa Wednesday night, the letter from Grassley is essential and "sets up a constitutional issue, the executive branch cannot prevent somebody from giving information to the legislative branch."

Although the investigation started in 2009, neither the public nor Congress was aware until years later, and in August, 2015, Mikerin pled guilty to money laundering conspiracy involving violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, according to a Department of Justice press release. By the end of 2015, four defendants were indicted in the years long investigation, according to court records and a Justice Department.

Trump Email Scandal Explodes As Democrats Close In On Subpoenaing Jared Kushner’s Emails

Rep Trey Gowdy has gone so far out of his way to enable Donald Trump’s family to avoid email laws that

Democrats are moving closer to pushing for a vote on subpoenaing Jared Kushner’s emails.

House Republicans are using their majority to protect Trump and his administration.

The hypocrisy of Republicans helping Jared Kushner hide his emails while spending years making an issue out of the bogus Hillary Clinton email scandal is unavoidable.

Trey Gowdy is stopping Democrats from getting Kushner’s emails by not joining the request for documents and a briefing.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump moved their email accounts to the Trump Organization (private server). There are many valid questions that need answers, and Democrats are willing to force a vote on a subpoena of Kushner to get those documents and answers.

Dossier Firm’s Bank Dragged Into Spat With Nunes Over Russia Probe
Nunes subpoenaing the firm’s bank and the firm going to court to block the subpoena.

The subpoena sought information about all assets held by Fusion GPS and its associates, including balances, transactions and other types of activities dating back the last two years.

It comes as the firm has faced increasing pressure to reveal the clients that financed the dossier.

On Friday, the firm, Fusion GPS filed a lawsuit claiming that subpoena was a “blatant attempt to chill” political speech and a “fishing expedition.”

Fox News’ Shep Smith and Judge Napolitano rip apart Nunes’ ‘sideshow’ Trump dossier investigation

Napolitano explained “Congress is trying to find out who paid for it,” adding Nunes subpoenaed the firm over the dossier.

“I thought he recused himself,” Smith said of Nunes.

“Yes,” Napolitano concurred. “A: you recused yourself, and B: the chair can’t issue a subpoena—only the committee can.” Napolitano explained the firm is saying they won’t “honor this false subpoena,

“This is a sideshow though right?” Smith asked.

“This a sideshow,” Napolitano agreed.

“The same people that are declining to speak to the House Intelligence Committee on the theory that because they’re researchers and writers they have the same protection against having to reveal their sources and methods as journalists. Which would be a very good and legitimate argument if accepted by the committee, but they are cooperating with [special counsel] Bob Mueller.

They have met with FBI agents, that’s the reference and the quote you just read with that we

will cooperate with legitimate investigations, not political ones.”
“That was a slap at Nunes,” Smith added. “It wasn’t at the committee, it was at the chairman himself.”

“Precisely,” Napolitano said, later adding Nunes “did publicly recuse himself” but has now “jumped back in” on this one issue.

“Can you do that?” Smith asked, before answering his own question. “Well, you can do whatever you want.”

“The Republicans control Congress, so they can make whatever exception to whatever rule they want,”

Napolitano agreed. “I don’t know where this is going to go, but we certainly haven’t heard the end of it. The dossier is, you know, over the top. The president has denied it. Everybody wants to know where it came from.”

When did the public find out the FBI informant has been threatened with jail time?

What's been revealed in the last week was never publicly available information. Why are you trying to obfuscate?

Ronald Hosko, who served as the assistant FBI director in charge of criminal cases when the investigation was underway, told The Hill he did not recall ever being briefed about Mikerin’s case by the counterintelligence side of the bureau despite the criminal charges that were being lodged.

“I had no idea this case was being conducted,” a surprised Hosko said in an interview.

Likewise, major congressional figures were also kept in the dark.

Former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), who chaired the House Intelligence Committee during the time the FBI probe was being conducted, told The Hill that he had never been told anything about the Russian nuclear corruption case even though many fellow lawmakers had serious concerns about the Obama administration’s approval of the Uranium One deal.

GOP Leaders Refusing To Pay For Dana Rohrabacher’s Travel Over Russia Fears

The California congressman had to pay his own way to visit Julian Assange this past August.

NICO HINES
SAM STEIN
10.24.17 11:22 AM ET

House Republican leaders have taken the extraordinary step of curtailing Rep. Dana Rohrabacher’s (R-CA) ability to conduct official business out of fear that he is too compromised by his ties to Russia.

Rohrabacher has drawn scrutiny for his longstanding links with Moscow, his closeness to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, and his recent willingness to allow his subcommittee to be used for Kremlin propaganda purposes.

In response, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs has placed heightened restrictions on the trips abroad that he can take with committee money as well as the hearings he can hold through the subcommittee on Europe that he chairs.

When the California congressman made a pilgrimage this summer to see Assange, who is holed up in the Ecuadorean embassy in London, he had to do it on his own dime. A congressional source told The Daily Beast that Rohrabacher had requested committee funding for the trip but was denied. The congressman’s staff confirmed that he ended up using his own money.

“His committee travel and hearing requests were curtailed following news accounts of his outside-the-box interest in Russia,” Rohrabacher’s communications director, Ken Grubbs confirmed to The Daily Beast.
Congressional leaders are often loathe to interject in each other’s jurisdictions, let alone level such an intra-party admonishment. But anxiety over Rohrabacher and his proximity to Moscow has been brewing within GOP circles for months, if not years.

Rohrabacher has long called for closer relations between the U.S. and Russia, to the point that the FBI warned him that he was being potentially recruited as a Russian spy. But it was his use of congressional resources in pursuit of those better relations that led GOP leadership to act.https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-leaders-refusing-to-pay-for-dana-rohrabachers-travel-over-russia-fears

Trump associate Michael Cohen sold four NY buildings for cash to mysterious buyers

while serving as a top executive at the Trump Organization for a decade, Cohen himself was a sometime New York real estate wheeler dealer whose companies appear to have netted as much as $20 million in profit by flipping properties to mysterious buyers..

The facts surrounding one of Cohen's ventures in particular raised red flags for several experts interviewed by McClatchy.

In 2014, a mysterious buyer using a limited liability company that hid the purchaser's identity paid $10 million in cash for a small apartment building on New York's lower east side that Cohen had purchased just three years before for $2 million.

The handsome appreciation came despite the fact that the assessed value of the property, at 172 Rivington St., hardly budged in these years, hovering around the price Cohen paid for it.

Comey, the Steele Dossier, Reid, Corn, the NYT: WTF happened between Oct. 28 and Nov. 7, 2016 (https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/10/24/1709633/-Comey-the-Steele-Dossier-Reid-Corn-the-NYT-WTF-happened-between-Oct-28-and-Nov-7-2016)

October 30: (two days after the Comey email memo) Harry Reid writes to James Comey:

“In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government…The public has a right to know this information.”



A Veteran Spy Has Given the FBI Information Alleging a Russian Operation to Cultivate Donald Trump.
In the fourth paragraph, he writes the unidentified former spy’s work:
was for an opposition research project originally financed by a Republican client critical of the celebrity mogul. (Before the former spy was retained, the project’s financing switched to a client allied with Democrats.)


Corn writes:

The former intelligence officer [whom we now know is Steele] says the response from the FBI was “shock and horror.”
A summary memo stated:

“Russian regime has been cultivating, supporting and assisting TRUMP for at least 5 years.

Aim, endorsed by PUTIN, has been to encourage splits and divisions in western alliance.”

It maintained that Trump “and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals.”

It claimed that Russian intelligence had “compromised” Trump during his visits to Moscow and could “blackmail him.”

It also reported that Russian intelligence had compiled a dossier on Hillary Clinton based on “bugged conversations she had on various visits to Russia and intercepted phone calls.”

[RandomGuy]

Twitter troll farms! Shits getting real -- this time.


But then, predicting what Trump will, or won't do is sort of a mugs game. He never fails to do the stupidest shit possible, just when you think he can't be dumber.

The thing about a good theory though, it that it both explains facts, and you can make testable predictions.

Fact 1:
Russia attempted to hack our electoral process through a multi-pronged attack.

Fact 2:
Donald "look how big my inauguration crowd was" Trump has done nothing but deny this even happened. He has shown no willingness whatsoever to hold Russia to account for anything.

Fact 3:
Donald Trump has a pattern of criticizing anyone, and everyone at the drop of a hat. Allies, enemies, courts, free press, nothing has escaped his remarks and twitter feed, except for ONE/(two) thing(s), and that is Russia/Putin

Fact 4:
Russian efforts appeared designed to support Trump

Fact 5:
Trump directly called on Russia publicly to support his efforts to get elected.

Fact 6:
Donald Trump has gone out of his way to meet and talk with Putin privately in person, with no American witnesses. This is the only leader with which he has acted in this manner.

Fact 7:
Donald Trump, when forced to sign a bipartisan sanctions bill passed with a veto-proof majority of both houses of Congress, issued a signing statement saying most of it was unconstitutional, and that his administration would enforce it as little as possible.


Theory:
Donald Trump has been compromised in some way. Either he directly owes them money, or they have evidence of some kind of him breaking the law or doing something he does not want others to know about.

This theory explains those facts, and is fully consistent with observed reality.

Prediction:
Donald Trump will take no action personally, nor will he criticize Russia or Putin in any way in regards to the Russian attack on our elections. He may allow his underlings to do some minor, inconsequential stuff, and if forced to do anything by Congress will drag his feet, if not outright attempt to veto any sanctions.


The way to falsify the theory:
1) Trump criticizes Putin/Russia (good)
2) Trump orders/takes action that materially harms Russian interests (definitive)

Bullshit conspiracy theories fail very often because either: they cannot be falsified, or they directly conflict with observed reality. This theory can be falsified, and does not conflict with what we know as fact.

Donald Trump is unpredictable except for Russia.

He may be stupid enough to fire Mueller if Mueller starts asking questions that will expose how he has been compromised.

If he does so, he will be impeached. The Republican party will have almost no choice at that point. Congress will find their spine, because they want to be re-elected, and Trump will have gone too far for all but the most jaded hacks.

TRUMP RUSSIA NEWS: U.S. REVOKES VISA OF TOP VLADIMIR PUTIN ENEMY BILL BROWDER, WHO WAS BORN IN UNITED STATES

Bill Browder, an American-born businessman who has become an outspoken and hated enemy of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was banned by the United States on Saturday, with the U.S. State department revoking his visa on the same day that Putin demanded the international police agency Interpol track down Browder and arrest him for what Putin called “illegal acts.”

Browder has been the leading advocate of the “Magnitsky Act,” a program of sanctions against Russia that targets specific Russian officials and business figure who have been linked to human rights violations. The United States, Great Britain, and Estonia all have passed Magnitsky Act sanctions, which freeze the assets of targeted Russians as well as denying them visas and imposing other restrictions.

On Thursday, Canada added itself to that list, adopting its own Magnitsky Act — a move which outraged Putin, who slammed the Canadian passage of the Magnitsky Act as “very unconstructive political games.”

There is no good reason for the US government to help a dictator hound his political enemies.

This is another in a long line of actions fully consistent with a president compromised by the Russian government.

House intelligence committee
Who leads it: Rep. Mike Conaway, Texas Republican, and Rep. Adam Schiff, California Democrat.
What's the latest: The committee is back on track, planning to hear from FBI Director James Comey on May 2 and former acting Attorney General Sally Yates later. It's a far cry from where they were just three weeks ago, with the investigation threatening to run aground amid House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes' secret trip to the White House. House Intelligence members meet for the first time in two weeks Tuesday.
Senate intelligence committee
Who leads it: Sen. Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican and Sen. Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat.
What's the latest: The committee has led a methodical investigation, to say the least. They have completed interviews with 27 analysts who compiled a declassified intelligence report detailing Russia's actions, have had a pair of public hearings and are hiring two additional staffers. Interviews with top Trump aides may not be far off at this point. Some Democrats, most notably Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, have complained about the pace of the investigation, but Warner and Burr say they are comfortable with its progress.
House oversight committee
Who leads it: Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, and Rep. Elijah Cummings, a Maryland Democrat.
What's the latest: Chaffetz and Cummings revealed the stunning news Tuesday that former national security adviser Michael Flynn left foreign payments off of his 2016 application for a security clearance, a possible felony punishable with up to five years in jail. Nobody from the House oversight committee is literally prosecuting Flynn, but they have been digging into his foreign payments from RT-TV, a Russian state news outlet, and a company tied to the Turkish government. The White House has declined to provide documents to the committee, but it is still getting information from the agencies, like the Department of Defense. The House oversight committee is not leading the main House investigation, but has turned up some critical finds.
Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism
Who leads it: Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Rhode Island Democrat.
What's the latest: The panel announced Tuesday it will hear from former acting Attorney General Sally Yates and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on May 8 -- drawing a high-profile pair to the Capitol at precisely the time the Russia investigations are heating up. Graham has not made any indication that he wants his committee to be the prime spot for Russia questions, but he has carved his own small slice of the spotlight on this issue.

It would be time consuming to run down every Democrat.

So we can stick to searching for the senior Democratic person for each committee. They usually do most of the talking anyway.

Senator Calls for Facebook to Release Russia-Related Election Ads


Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) called on Facebook to release thousands of Russia-linked political ads that it has turned over to the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

Warner, the vice chair of the committee, told reporters that “at the end of the day it’s important that the public see these ads.”

Facebook has not made the ads public, but said that they have identified about 3,000 ads, primarily those that are issue-oriented rather than advocating for a specific candidate.
