CONFIRMED DEMOCRAT COMMUNISTS~RUSSIAN COLLUSION? YEP, BUT IT WAS CLINTONS & OBAMA, NOT TRUMP~FBI ENABLERS EXPOSED
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:
With all of the focus on the alleged (yet never demonstrated, much
less proved) connections between President Trump and Russia over the
past year, the liberal mainstream media have bent over backwards to keep
the attention off of the demonstrable (and likely soon to be proved)
connections between Hillary Clinton and Russia. New reports may make it
impossible to continue that ruse.
Hillary Clinton got quite a bit of political play out of calling
Trump “Putin’s puppet” during debates and throughout the election cycle.
In the end, though, her attacks missed their mark and she missed the
necessary votes to secure the White House and the advent of a Clinton
2.0 presidency — an administration that would certainly have continued
(and escalated) the corruption of the Clinton 1.0 presidency.
Newly released information confirms that it is Hillary Clinton — as
secretary of state — and not Trump who can be shown to be “Putin’s
puppet. The Hill, Fox News, Newsweek, and others are
reporting that a deal between Clinton’s State Department and Russian
interests that transferred 20 percent of U.S. uranium to Russian control
involved bribery, collusion, and coverup. And Clinton’s fingerprints
are all over it.
This confirms reports published by The New American even as
the failed Clinton campaign and its accomplices in the liberal
mainstream media continued to beat the stillborn horse of Trump/Russia
collusion. In an article originally published in our print magazine and later published online,
this writer addressed the evidence of “unethical, illegal, and corrupt
behavior” revealed in the leaked Clinton campaign and DNC e-mails and
documents published by WikiLeaks:
box full of smoking guns against the DNC and Clinton campaign. A quick
look at just a few of those smoking guns — any of which alone would be
damning — illustrates why Clinton (with the help of the liberal media)
wanted to keep the attention on the supposed source of the leak, rather
than on what the e-mails show about Clinton and her comrades in the
DNC….
relations with Putin’s Russia, which helped the Clinton Foundation and
its donors make millions of dollars off a deal that sold the mining
company Uranium One (and 25 percent of our strategic uranium production)
to Russia.
That report by The New American — in February — was published months before The Hill “broke” this story.
Now, more is known about that deal. And the more that comes out, the
worse it looks for both Clinton and Obama: FBI and court documents show
that the Obama-era FBI (under the “leadership” of ousted FBI Director
James Comey) was aware that Putin’s regime in Moscow had compromised an
American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of
the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, according to a report by The Hill. As an aside, does anyone still think it was a mistake for Trump to fire Comey?
The evidence of bribes and kickbacks is not mere conjecture and
innuendo (as in the case of allegations against Trump), but is solidly
supported by “a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian
nuclear industry” who gathered “extensive financial records,” made
“secret recordings,” and intercepted “emails as early as 2009,”
according to The Hill. Moreover:
backed by documents — 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.
“with the consent of higher level officials” in Russia who “shared the
proceeds” from the kickbacks, one agent declared in an affidavit years
later.
And yet — even with the FBI and other federal authorities being aware
of this in 2009, the DOJ dragged the investigation out until 2015,
allowing a deal to go through that transferred between 20 and 25 percent
of U.S. uranium to Russia in the Uranium One deal that fattened the
coffers of the Clinton Foundation, strengthened Putin’s Russia, and
weakened the United States. For the anti-American element (for whom
Clinton was the perfect candidate), that is a win/win/win scenario.
As Newsweek put it,
“The Obama administration signed a controversial nuclear deal with
Moscow despite prior FBI findings that Russian officials were bribing
their way into the U.S. atomic energy industry, according to government
documents just published by The Hill.”
So, while Hillary Clinton was using Russia as a bogeyman during the
campaign by claiming that if Trump were elected, Putin would gain
control of the United States, the reality is that she had — as secretary
of state — already laid that groundwork. As president, she would likely
have continued to build upon it, doing exactly what she accused Trump
of planning to do.
As a result of this information coming to light, Senate Judiciary
Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) is calling for his committee
to conduct a real investigation into the Uranium One deal, the Obama
administration, and Hillary Clinton. As Fox News is reporting:
of letters he fired off last week to 10 federal agencies, addressing
those issues in detail and raising the question of whether the committee
that approved the transaction was aware of the FBI probe. The Committee
on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) included
then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
At the beginning of a hearing with Attorney General Jeff Sessions
today, Grassley said, “This committee has an obligation to get to the
bottom of this issue.” So true. And the bottom of this issue could be a
long way down for Clinton and Obama.
As for those Democrats who have been raising the roof calling for an
end to “Russian collusion,” none appears to have come forward to
celebrate this break in the case. It appears they are only interested in
ending alleged collusion when it involves their opponent, but not
actual collusion when it involves at least two of their darlings.
This is a developing story and The New American will continue to keep our readers updated.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – While the mainstream media continues to
obsess over Paul Manafort and Gen. Michael Flynn’s supposed “Russian
collusion,” totally ignored are the ties Tony Podesta, the brother of
Hillary’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman John Podesta, had to both
Uranium One and to Sherbank, Moscow’s largest state-run bank with close
ties to international terrorism and to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As the Russians gained control of Uranium One in three separate
transactions from 2009 through 2013, the Podesta Group was paid a total
of $630,000 between 2010 and 2015 to represent Uranium One, the
Russian-controlled firm with close financial ties to the Clinton
Foundation that today controls 20 percent of all U.S. uranium produced.
Podesta ties to Russian Money, Putin, and Russian clandestine operations
Among the revelations made public through the 11.5 million documents
leaked by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists
detailing the legal and financial arrangements behind secretive
off-shore banking transactions dating back to the 1970s was the disclosure Russia’s largest bank, the state-owned Sherbank, uses the Podesta Group as its registered lobbyist in Washington.
“Sberbank (Savings Bank in Russian) engaged the Podesta Group to
help its public image—leading Moscow financial institutions not exactly
being known for their propriety and wholesomeness—and specifically to
help lift some of the pain of sanctions placed on Russia in the
aftermath of the Kremlin’s aggression against Ukraine, which has caused
real pain to the country’s hard-hit financial sector,” wrote
former National Security Agency analyst and counterintelligence officer
John R. Schindler in an article entitled “Panama Papers Reveal
Clinton’s Kremlin Connection” published by the Observer on April 7,
2016.
“It’s hardly surprising that Sberbank sought the help of
Democratic insiders like the Podesta Group to aid them in this difficult
hour, since they clearly understand how American politics work,”
Schindler continued.
“The question is why the Podesta Group took Sberbank’s money,”
Schindler asked. “That financial institution isn’t exactly hiding in the
shadows—it’s the biggest bank in Russia, and its reputation leaves a
lot to be desired. Nobody acquainted with Russian finance was surprised
that Sberbank wound up in the Panama Papers.”
Schindler noted that since the 1990s, Sberbank has grown to be
Russia’s dominant bank, controlling nearly 30 percent of Russia’s
aggregate banking assets and employing a quarter-million people. The
majority stockholder in Sberbank is Russia’s Central Bank, making
Sberbank functionally an arm of the Russian government, though
officially Sberbank is a private institution.
“Certainly, Western intelligence is well acquainted with
Sberbank, noting its close relationship with Vladimir Putin and his
regime. Funds moving through Sberbank are regularly used to support
clandestine Russian intelligence operations, while the bank uses its
offices abroad as cover for the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service or
SVR,” Schindler pointed out.
A NATO counterintelligence official explained that Sberbank,
which has outposts in almost two dozen foreign countries, “functions as a
sort of arm of the SVR outside Russia, especially because many of its
senior employees are ‘former’ Russian intelligence officers.” Inside the
country, Sberbank has an equally cozy relationship with the Federal
Security Service or FSB, Russia’s powerful domestic intelligence agency.
On April 17, 2014, the Moscow Times reported Ukraine opened criminal proceedings against Sberbank and 13 other banks on suspicion of “financing terrorism.”
Schindler noted the Ukrainian criminal infestation concluded
Sberbank had distributed millions of dollars in illegal aid to
Russian-backed separatists fighting in eastern Ukraine, with the bank
serving as “a witting supporter of Russian aggression against Ukraine.”
On April 5, 2016Lachlan Markay reporting in the Washington Free Beacon published the lobbying registration form
the Podesta Group filed with the U.S. government proving Sberbank had
contracted with the Podesta Group to advance their interests with
banking, trade, and foreign relations.
Markay further reported that according to the Organized Crime and
Corruption Reporting Project, a consortium of journalists exploring the
Panama Papers leak, Sberbank and Troika Dialog have ties to companies
used by members of Putin’s inner circle to funnel state resources into
lucrative private investments.
“Some of these companies were initially connected to the Troika
Dialog investment fund, which was controlled and run by Sberbank after
the bank bought the Troika Dialog investment bank. Troika and Sberbank
declined to comment,” Markay noted the Organized Crime and Corruption
Reporting Project, concluded in a report published in April 2016.
On March 30, 2016, Politico reported
the Podesta Group registered to lobby for the U.S. subsidiary of
Sherbank to see if relief could be obtained for the bank in the easing
of U.S. sanctions against Russia for Russia’s role in the Ukraine
conflict.
The Podesta Group and the Russian uranium scam
As first documented in Peter Schweizer’s bestselling book
“Clinton Cash,” and confirmed in Jerome Corsi’s bestselling book
“Partners in Crime: The Clinton’s Scheme to Monetize the White House,”
Uranium One directed millions to the Clinton Foundation as the Russian
government gained ownership of the company.
New York Times reporters Jo Becker and Mike McIntire, in an
article entitled “Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium
Deal,” that the newspaper printed on April 23, 2015, documented the tie between the Russians and the Clinton Foundation as the Uranium One deal evolved.
“As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in
three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a
flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation,” Becker and
McIntire wrote.
“Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four
donations totaling $2.35 million,” the New York Times reporters
continued. “Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the
Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama
White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to
the company made donations as well.”
Becker and McIntire further noted that shortly after the Russians
announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One,
Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian
investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One
stock.
CIFUS is the acronym for the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, the inter-agency committee
of the U.S. government, operating out of the U.S. Treasury, that is
responsible to review and authorize transactions of a U.S. business that
could result in a foreign person or entity undermining U.S. national
security interests.
As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton was a member of CIFUS and
she was the only presidential candidate in 2008 to make an issue of the
importance of strengthening CIFUS to protect U.S. economic sovereignty
and national security.
In October 2010, CIFUS reviewed and approved the Rosatom acquisition of majority control in Uranium One before the deal was done.
In 2013, Rosatom acquired
all remaining shares of Uranium One. Becker and McIntire estimated that
by 2015, after getting CIFUS approval, the Russians ended up
controlling one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United
States.
John Podesta served as Clinton Foundation CEO
According to a New York Times report published
Aug. 13, 2013, in 2011, a wave of midlevel program staff members
departed the Clinton Foundation, “reflecting the frustration of much of
the foundation’s policy personnel with the old political hands running
the organization.”
Around that time, in 2011, Bruce Lindsey, then the Clinton
Foundation’s CEO, suffered a stroke, underscoring concerns about the
foundation’s line of succession. John D. Podesta, a chief of staff in
Mr. Clinton’s White House, stepped in for several months as temporary
chief executive.
