Until Cardinal Comey, the Bureau had for the most part convinced the public that it was an apolitical law enforcement agency. Unfortunately, as with the IRS and EPA, President Barack Obama sought to politicize the FBI. He couldn’t have picked a better man for the job than James Comey. Comey eventually surrounded himself with like-minded individuals, Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok, both of whom figure significantly in the conspiracy to bring down the Trump presidency.
Letting Crooked Hillary Off the Hook
While the upper echelon of the FBI focused on politics, it ignored the Clinton Foundation, Uranium One, and it’s own protocols in the Hillary email investigation. Let me tell you the whole story on the crooked Uranium One deal.
The Fake News Media have done everything they can to spin and downplay this egregious betrayal of US national security, but there are several facts not disputed by anyone. One, in 2010, the Russian government–owned ARMZ Uranium Holding Co. acquired a 51 percent stake in Uranium One, a Canadian uranium-mining company with significant operations in the United States.14 The acquisition gave the Russian government control of a company with rights to mine up to 20 percent of all US uranium deposits. It would eventually buy out the remaining shares and assume complete ownership of the company in 2013.15
Two, for ARMZ to acquire that stake in Uranium One, it needed approval from CFIUS, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. That committee is chaired by the secretary of the Treasury and includes representatives of several government agencies, including the departments of Commerce, Energy, and State. Secretary of State Clinton’s representative approved the deal, as did several other agency representatives of the Obama administration.
Three, while the Russian government was acquiring Uranium One, which it did in three separate transactions between 2009 and 2013, Uranium One’s chairman made four separate donations to the Clinton Foundation, totaling $2.35 million.16 Secretary Clinton did not disclose those donations to the Obama White House, breaking a previous agreement to do so, based on the obvious potential conflict of interest the foundation represented for a sitting secretary of state.
And as if the millions funneled to the Clintons by Uranium One’s chairman weren’t enough, a Russian investment bank linked to the Kremlin and promoting Uranium One stock paid Bill Clinton $500,000 for a single speech in Moscow right after ARMZ announced it would acquire a controlling interest in Uranium One.17
None of those facts is in dispute. Now, the liberal media can make all the excuses for Hillary they want to. They say there is no direct proof of a quid pro quo, as if a scam artist with Hillary’s decades of experience would allow herself to be video recorded taking the money from Uranium One’s chairman and, with a wink and a nudge, telling him to let the Russians know they wouldn’t get any resistance from her.
Another excuse offered by the mainstream media is that several other federal agencies also approved the sale. I thought “what-aboutism” was a cardinal sin. Besides, the State Department is the big dog in this decision, and seven of the CFIUS members are connected to the Clinton Foundation. Put those puppies under oath and watch them squirm. They want to put the president under oath, but not Hillary Clinton. The Deep State wants to checkmate the president.
Obama and the Clintons sold our uranium and with it the security of our nation. How did it happen?
In 2008, the Russians were frantic. They were desperate to buy uranium, the key ingredient to making nuclear weapons. The Obama administration was more than willing to accommodate. In fact, the whole upper tier of the Obama administration, those paragons of globalist virtue, approved the deal.
As far back as 2009 the FBI and the DOJ had an active, large-scale criminal investigation into Russia and Kremlin connected individuals who were conspiring to access America’s uranium. The plan included bribery, money laundering, and kickback schemes.
In all, the Clinton Foundation received approximately $145 million yet it failed to disclose major contributions from entities involved in this Uranium One deal.
Why is this important?
Folks, context is everything. The backdrop of the sale of 20 percent of America’s uranium to the Russians was Putin’s ongoing racketeering enterprise that the Obama inner circle knew about and the FBI and DOJ were monitoring and investigating. And yet they subsequently allowed the transfer to Russia. You know the players. Follow the names.
The DOJ, headed by Eric Holder, was in charge not only of this investigation, but also on the committee that approved the sale.
The case was handled by Rod Rosenstein. You know him. He’s the same man who told Jeff Sessions to recuse himself and get out of the way of the Russia investigation so Rosenstein could appoint Bob Mueller to try to connect Trump to Russia. If that isn’t the irony of all ironies.
Who was head of the FBI at the time? It was Bob Mueller, the man now appointed special counsel to connect Donald Trump to Russia.
How about the FBI agent handling the case? It was none other than Andrew McCabe, who was handling the Clinton email investigation. You may remember his wife got $675,000 dollars from Clinton pal Terry McAuliffe, who is also connected to the Clinton Foundation. McCabe’s wife lost, but under Virginia law she could keep whatever cash was left from that generous contribution.
At the time of the approval of the transfer, Republicans in Congress vociferously objected based on national security. They worried because they knew Russia helped Iran build its nuclear reactor and the takeover of US nuclear resources by a Russian government–owned agency would be against our national security interests.
At the time the Obama administration green-lighted the deal, Republicans in Congress objected and they didn’t even know about the criminality and the money laundering.
The fact that other appointees of the Obama administration joined Crooked Hillary in selling us out to the Russians is not a very strong defense. Now, let me give you the clincher. The FBI knew there was something rotten going on during the whole time the Russians were acquiring Uranium One. It knew the Russians were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion, and money laundering to expand Vladimir Putin’s uranium holdings in the United States. They knew that before the Obama administration approved the second Uranium One deal in 2010.18
The FBI’s covert informer, who we now know was William Campbell, was inside the Russian nuclear industry. Campbell provided direct evidence to three congressional committees that Moscow had compromised a US trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks. The Russian government also expected the lobbying firm APCO, to apply a portion of its $3 million annual fee to support the Clinton Global Initiative whose incorporation was approved by Lois Lerner. The purpose was to have the Obama administration make favorable decisions for Russia on Uranium One and the US-Russia Civilian Nuclear Cooperation Agreement. More importantly, the FBI had firsthand evidence, including an eyewitness account and documents to back it up, that Russian nuclear officials had directed millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary was still Secretary of State and before her State Department approved the Uranium One deal.19 You read that right. It had hard evidence of real “collusion with the Russians” by Hillary Clinton. Yet Justice Department officials sat on the information and allowed the Obama administration to approve the purchase anyway. And Hillary was right in the middle of it.
So, what happened to the criminal case? The criminal case was plea bargained to a lesser crime on a Labor Day weekend; the sentence a slap on the wrist meted out at Christmastime with none of the bells and whistles that normally accompany an international racketeering case. The informant who brought the case to the FBI’s attention? Initially he was gagged by Eric Holder and then Loretta Lynch due to a nondisclosure agreement where the sanction is a criminal penalty. I have never heard of such a thing. As a result of public outcry, the informant was released from the nondisclosure agreement.
As Secretary of State, Clinton sat on the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS). It was CFIUS that oka
yed the sale of the uranium and the Obama administration was providing cover from the start. I spoke with Victoria Toensing, the former prosecutor and experienced and respected criminal defense attorney who, along with her husband Joe diGenova, knows the Washington criminal circuit as well as anyone, about the case. She reminded me what an FBI informant named Doug Campbell had to say about the deal.
“Doug Campbell provided the United States government crucial information about Russia’s plan to control our uranium supply and about the massive corruption within that country’s nuclear industry. Campbell began his reporting well over a year before the CFIUS decision to sell Uranium One to those corrupt Russian companies. He also heard continuous bragging by the Russians that the fix was in for the sale because of their connections to the Clintons. When he brought a civil suit to regain the $500,000 he paid the Russians from his own funds—under the direction of the FBI—the Obama Justice Department threatened him with prosecution unless he dismissed the case.”20
The Obama administration was so adamant the American public not find out about this that it threatened Campbell for attempting to reveal the information he had gathered during the 2016 election, citing the confidentiality agreement he had signed with the government.21 The Senate obtained permission from the Trump Justice Department to hear Campbell’s story and submitted a written statement in February, confirming the facts as I’ve related them above.22
Still, even in the face of Campbell’s eyewitness testimony, the lying liberal Democrats have the audacity to defend Crooked Hillary, saying Campbell didn’t provide evidence of a quid pro quo.23 But even if you somehow conclude that there isn’t enough evidence to prosecute Clinton for corruption in this case, despite the glaring evidence of her guilt, you really have to ask yourself this question: If all of the above isn’t enough to prosecute or at least investigate Hillary for criminally “colluding with the Russians,” how can you possibly justify the ongoing investigation of President Trump, a one-and-a-half-year investigation that has turned up no evidence at all?
A major player in all this was Victor Pinchuk. The largest individual contributor to the Clinton Foundation, Pinchuk builds steel pipes in Ukraine, in violation of US law.
Don’t forget Special Counsel Robert Mueller was Director of the FBI while all this was going on. It was Mueller’s FBI that opened the investigation into the 2012 Benghazi attack, also on Secretary Clinton’s watch, that resulted in the first death of a US ambassador in more than thirty years. At the very least, Secretary Clinton was guilty of an extreme dereliction of duty, as her State Department denied repeated requests for additional security from Ambassador Christopher Stevens himself and other officials stationed in Benghazi in 2012.24
Clinton’s motivation was unclear. But we know Clinton was lying through her teeth when she said the attack was born out of the spontaneous protest of a poorly made anti-Muslim video. After offering that explanation to the public shortly after 10 p.m. on the night of the attack, she emailed her daughter, Chelsea, at 11:12 p.m. saying the attack had been perpetrated by an “Al Qaeda–like [sic] group.”25 On a phone call the next day, Hillary admitted to the Egyptian prime minister that the attack had had nothing to do with the film. Yet she went on publicly saying it did for ten days after the attack, including while attending the return of the coffins in Delaware two days later.
The simplest explanation is that she was simply covering for her State Department’s earlier denials of requests for additional security. Or was there something else she was covering up? There was some evidence that she might have been running guns from Libya to Syria,26 hoping to do there what she had done in Libya: support radical jihadists to overthrow a dictator. Even as Libya descended into chaos, she couldn’t seem to learn from the mistake of deposing Muammar Gaddafi and leaving a power vacuum for the jihadis to fill. Five years later, she was still defending that decision,27 ignoring the chaos she had unleashed across the entire region.
Whatever she might have been up to, there was one thing that was certain: the FBI’s investigation wasn’t going to shed any light on the matter. One consistent theme throughout the tenures of directors Mueller and Comey was the FBI would find no wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton, no matter how much smoke poured from the barrel of the gun.
And remember, this isn’t because they necessarily liked Hillary Clinton. They weren’t RINOs in that respect, secretly working on behalf of the Democrats. As I said at the beginning of this book, the real partisan divide isn’t Democrat versus Republican; it’s the Swamp Party versus the people.
I started this time line long after the scandals that plagued Hillary Clinton while she was First Lady and don’t want to spend the time and space reviewing those here, except to point out one interesting little fact:
Back in the 1990s, more than two decades before he became deputy attorney general of the United States, the man who appointed Robert Mueller special counsel to investigate Russian interference in our elections, Rod Rosenstein, was part of another special counsel investigation. He was one of a team of prosecutors working under Kenneth Starr to investigate Bill and Hillary Clinton’s Whitewater real estate scandal.28 The investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing by the Clintons.
A Foreign Policy for Sale
So how do I really feel? Here’s what I said about Hillary before the election:
Hillary Clinton would be without a doubt—hands down—the absolute best CEO of a public company.
Ruthless.
Profit driven.
And all about the money.
But if you’re looking for a different kind of CEO, one to run the greatest nation on earth and bring back America—now teetering on the brink of socialism—to be president of the United States, Hillary Clinton is the worst possible choice.
She is the person to run away from!
She has never cared about you. This woman only cares about herself, money, her next step up the political ladder, and if president, will only care about her legacy.
Her influence peddling on a global scale and the setting of American foreign policy to coincide with the flow of hundreds of millions of dollars to the corrupt Clinton Foundation and millions directly to Bill Clinton (and ultimately Hillary) in speaking fees has no parallel in American history.
There is no question that Bill Clinton’s speaking fees tripled and quadrupled when Hillary was Secretary of State. Contributors who stood to profit from Hillary’s influence at the State Department looked to hire Bill.
Historically—prosecutors have looked for quid pro quos from politicians when they deliver to constituents or contributors. Politicians doing business for themselves—lining their own pockets—is the essence of public corruption.
Not only were contributions to the foundation and speaking fees to Bill made but in many of these deals both Hillary and Bill were in the subject foreign country at the same time—wheeling and dealing. She wielding American diplomacy. He receiving speaking fees of a half a million to three-quarters of a million dollars. And their foundation—the huge beneficiary of hundreds of millions of dollars. Some reported, some not.
Prosecutors have convicted politicians for things as simple as a free cab ride in exchange for favors. It’s called bribery, conspiracy, and violation of theForeign Corrupt Practices Act.
Whenever an American government official accepts gifts intended to curry favor—he crosses the line.
Bill and Hillary started with nothing. Bill is now the wealthiest ex-president in the United States. Might it be because Hillary greased the skids after which Bill accepted massive gratuities? Many think we may never know because she refuses to give up her email server.
How do you go from dead broke to filthy rich? Why would you not recuse yourself as Secretary of State when there is a conflict of interest or even the appearance of one?
Hillary Clinton’s life has always been about money. From Whitewater to cattle futures to leaving the White House with whatever she could take. As a prosecutor, I can tell you that it�
��s always about money or women and the Clintons have both. When I hear things like ‘oh everybody does it’ I get aggravated. I am tired of people condoning corruption when it’s committed by a member of their party. My back goes up when I hear that Russia, because of the Clintons, now controls a great deal of America’s uranium. There is a name for people who are willing to sell out their country for cash.
CHAPTER EIGHT
Lying and Leaking to Fix an Election
In 2016 Andrew McCabe leaked information to the Wall Street Journal. He lied about this in congressional hearings. McCabe, I guess, never thought he would get caught.
The Wall Street Journal did a follow-up story regarding McCabe’s issuance of a “stand down” order he issued to FBI staff who were looking into Hillary’s email server. In brief, it goes like this.
The FBI field office was investigating the improper use of Hillary’s email server where classified information was disseminated. McCabe heard about this while he was on a trip overseas. He then told his field office he was not happy and directed them to stand down. That is, stop the investigation of Hillary immediately! Was this another effort by FBI bosses to get Hillary elected? Do you think?
Hillary received significant cooperation from her longtime Deep State friends in the DOJ and FBI.
Changing of the Deep State Guard
On February 1, 2013, eighteen days after the Russian government completed the aforementioned acquisition of rights to 20 percent of US uranium supplies, Hillary Clinton stepped down as secretary of state. In addition to brushing off scandals that suggested unethical, if not criminal, behavior, as she had all her life, she had presided over one of the most disastrous foreign policies of any secretary of state in US history.
Her reckless advocacy for intervening in Libya, where she supported the Muslim Brotherhood and other known terrorist groups seeking to overthrow Gaddafi,1 was a direct cause of the refugee crisis engulfing Europe and spilling over into the United States. Back in 2011, Gaddafi himself warned of precisely that outcome if he were deposed.2 He was right. But Hillary’s policy in Libya was just one example of a pattern: supporting the toppling of oppressive regimes in the Middle East without regard to who would replace them or whom the United States would be supporting in doing so. She left a classic vacuum.
