    Looks like the “New Benghazi” talking point.

    “The FBI found – using a witness working in the Russian nuclear industry to gather the financial record evidence – showed that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s main man in the US, Vadim Mikerin, had been involved in corruption since 2009.

    Mr Mikerin arrived in the US in 2010, on a work visa approved by the Obama administration, to open the US arm of Tenex, called Tenam.

    Some have claimed that the approval of the deal was a quid pro quo exchange for Moscow donations to the Clinton Foundation, the charity run by the Clinton family that included the international development arm known as the Clinton Global Initiative."

    However, then-Secretary of State Clinton did not have the power of veto or approval over the deal with the firm.

    She was one of nine cabinet members and department heads collectively charged with advising the president on potential national security issues with such transactions on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US.

    Several sources told The Hill newspaper “they did not know whether the FBI or DOJ ever alerted committee members to the criminal activity they uncovered.”

    The timings of the donations don’t match either; of the alleged $145m reportedly contributed to the foundation by investors, most came from a single donor who sold his stake three years before the Russia deal."

    ‘Jeepers Creepers 3’ Director Victor Salva was arrested for sexual abuse and possession of child pornography in 1988, he went on to write molestation into the 3rd installment of the franchise.

    For more than twenty years, Weinstein has been trailed by rumors of sexual harassment and assault. His behavior has been an open secret to many in Hollywood and beyond, but the story fell short of the demands to investigate it. Too few people were willing to speak and Weinstein used nondisclosure agreements, payoffs and legal threats to suppress their accounts. Women feared that Weinstein would “crush” them, because he “crushed” a lot of other women, if they didn’t give in to his forcible demands of sex.

    Reese Witherspoon was sexually assaulted by a director when she was 16 years old, she was told by agents and producers to remain silent about the incident. It was the first of many experiences of sexual assault and harassment throughout her career.

    The Uranium One deal was not Clinton’s to veto or approve, she was one of nine cabinet members and department heads that sat on the CFIUS, collectively charged with evaluating the transaction for potential national security issues, then turned their findings over to the president. Despite the transfer of ownership, the uranium remained in the U.S. It was not – nor could it be – exported. The timing of the donations do not match. The $131.3 million from Frank Giustra came three years before the Russia deal and 18 months before Clinton was secretary of state. He sold off his entire stake in the company in 2007. There were some donations that were not properly disclosed – The foundation has admitted this shortcoming and pledged to correct it, but the fact that is happened has set off alarms for the witch hunt. There is no proof Secretary of State Hillary Clinton participated in a quid pro quo agreement to accept payment for approval of the Uranium One deal.

    “The ignorance on the Left is proof.”

    So you have absolutely no idea what evidence IS, do you.

    Re : “… rapist Bill …”DENIS

    It’s very interesting how the sliminess of people is so dependent upon party affiliation. While some consider President Clinton slimy because he told a lie about a personal, private matter between two consenting adults, President Bush II is considered squeaky clean by some even after his lies were the basis for getting us into two contrived wars that were useless and costly (of lives, families and treasure).

    Olly North made how much after Iran/Contra? Cheney and his companies made how much during Afghanistan and Iraq, while KBR poisoned how many troops (including my SON)? At least they were out to destroy foreign nations, Trump is out to destroy the United States of America and ALL the reources that belong to the PEOPLE, not just the one percenters he’s giving it all away to.
