    Nope, I'm all for prosecuting them to the fullest extent of the law if they did anything against the law in the Uranium One deal.

    Did they do anything against the law in the Uranium One deal, CC?

    Yes or no.
    Really? You think they could have taken a bribe? Say it isnt so!

    If there is an investigation, will you be a witness to their honesty and trustworthiness? You obviously have inside information. Go blue team!

    Investigate what? That brings us right back to the thing you've been dodging all along:

    Explain the approval process, describe this "conflict of interest" and how it affected that process.

    Well, you got a basic, foundational fact completely wrong right there, so that shows you're pretty ignorant about this whole thing.

    Explain the approval process, describe this "conflict of interest" and how it affected that process.

    I'll read it if you can do it in your own words.

    You failed just as I predicted.

    Sorry, he was wrong on a basic fact.

    As are you most of the time.

    If you think there's a crime here, that's what you have to describe to even start an investigation.

    Neither of you can do it. That's all.

    There's already an investigation. Sounds you like you are pretty ignorant of this whole thing.

    I'll throw you a couple of bones.

    Federal agents 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 do ents show.

    They also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by do ents — indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.

    Rather than bring immediate charges in 2010, however, the Department of Justice (DOJ) continued investigating the matter for nearly four more years, essentially leaving the American public and Congress in the dark about Russian nuclear corruption on U.S. soil during a period when the Obama administration made two major decisions benefiting Putin’s commercial nuclear ambitions.
    The investigation was ultimately supervised by then-U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein, an Obama appointee who now serves as President Trump’s deputy attorney general, and then-Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe, now the deputy FBI director under Trump, Justice Department do ents show.

    Both men now play a key role in the current investigation into possible, but still unproven, collusion between Russia and Donald Trump’s campaign during the 2016 election cycle. McCabe is under congressional and Justice Department inspector general investigation in connection with money his wife’s Virginia state Senate campaign accepted in 2015 from now-Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe at a time when McAuliffe was reportedly under investigation by the FBI.

    The connections to the current Russia case are many. The Mikerin probe began in 2009 when Robert Mueller, now the special counsel in charge of the Trump case, was still FBI director. And it ended in late 2015 under the direction of then-FBI Director James Comey, whom Trump fired earlier this year.

    Actually, they're investigating whether to investigate again.

    You just proved you are pretty ignorant of this whole thing.

    So, you're concerned abou5t conflicts of interest now?

    How much is the Bank of China currently paying Trump, and for what? Trump suddenly doesn't care about "currency manipulation".

    Doesn't that strike you as odd?

    But that's all small potatoes. The real money in the Trump empire comes from commercial tenants like the Chinese bank. Forbes estimates these tenants pay a collective $175 million a year or so to the president. And they do so anonymously. Federal laws, drafted without envisioning a real estate billionaire as president, require Trump to publicly disclose the s companies he owns--but not the hundreds of businesses pouring money into them or even the extent of the money involved.
    "The public reading the [disclosure] form doesn't know who is paying the president," says Walter Shaub, who resigned as the federal government's top ethics official in July. The president likes it that way. Neither the White House nor the Trump Organization would provide a list of the president's tenants, much less reveal what they pay. Instead, Trump Organization lawyer Alan Garten provided a statement: "Following the election, the Trump Organization implemented a rigorous vetting process for all transactions, including leases, which includes a detailed review and approval by our chief compliance officer and outside ethics advisor." In other words, government ethics officials, charged with detecting conflicts of interest, have never seen the president's rent roll.

    Trump is raking in $175 million PER YEAR from business tenants, including the Bank of China.

    Who is paying him? Why?

    So, basically you only care about conflicts of interest if it was a Democrat that MIGHT have done it when linked to a charity, but when you have a sitting president handing out jobs to relatives, and directly benefitting from attempts to sway him through his business interests you don't give a .

    ... and *I'm* the hack.

    Trump president, not Hillary you stupid mother er. That makes his automatically more important.

    If, that is, you care about the country more than you do a political party, which I do not think you do.

    "the fraction of anonymous purchases of [Trump] properties through s companies has ‘skyrocketed’ from 4 to 70 percent."

    What is the president hiding?

    been looking for it. saw the sniglet somewhere. Given the source, I am somewhat skeptical that it is that stilted.
