“A volunteer for the Trump campaign in New York…agreed to provide signs” for a Trump rally to a Russian “posing as a US grassroots activist.”
You change your narrative, as often as you update and change your multiple personalities! Begone, loser!
Well thats not sure is it? if your focus is on that what about all of the Russian donations to the Clintons? What about the Russian connections there with the Uranium one?
Maybe I missed it....but your focus appears to be 'Smear Trump'....and NOT get to the truth. You are a typical one sider.....thinking, 'my side is dirty...but the ways justify their dirty tricks'
Folks with that type of thinking on both side of that equation are bad news. The system matters. We can't have our highest level law enforcement people doing back room political deals...on either side. Our IRS politicized [guilty during the Obama admin] and then the DOJ helped cover it up. The AG Lynch meeting with Clinton in a secret meeting- wake up man.....this is corruption at the highest level.
So thats OK as it serves your agenda?
Does Mueller Indictment Mean Clinton Campaign Can Be Indicted for Chris Steele?
Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted foreign citizens for trying to influence the American public about an election because those citizens did not register as a foreign agent nor record their financial expenditures to the Federal Elections Commission. By that theory, when will Mueller indict Christopher Steele, FusionGPS, PerkinsCoie, the DNC and the Clinton Campaign? Mueller’s indictment against 13 Russian trolls claimed their social media political activity was criminal because: they were foreign citizens; they tried to influence an election; and they neither registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act nor reported their funding to the Federal Elections Commission.
First, if Mueller’s theory is correct, three things make Steele a criminal: first, he is a foreign citizen; second, he tried to influence an election, which he received payments to do (including from the FBI itself); and third, he neither registered as a foreign agent nor listed his receipts and expenditures to the Federal Election Commission. Also, according to the FBI, along the way, Steele lied…a lot, while the dossier he disseminated contained its own lies based on bought-and-paid for smears from foreign sources reliant on rumors and innuendo.
Second, if Mueller’s theory is correct, three things make FusionGPS a criminal co-conspirator: it knew Steele was a foreign citizen; it knew, and paid, Steele to influence an election; and it knew, and facilitated, Steele neither registering as a foreign agent nor reporting his funding from the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign to the Federal Election Commission.
Third, if Mueller’s theory is correct, then three things make PerkinsCoie a potential target: it knew Steele was a foreign citizen; it knew, and paid, Steele to influence an election; and it knew, and facilitated, Steele neither registering as a foreign agent nor reporting his funding from the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign to the Federal Election Commission, by disguising its receipt of payments from the Clinton campaign as a “legal expense.”
Fourth, if Mueller’s theory is correct, then three things make the DNC a potential target: it knew Steele was a foreign citizen; it knew, and paid, Steele to influence an election; and it knew, and facilitated, Steele neither registering as a foreign agent nor reporting his funding from the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign to the Federal Election Commission, by disguising its payments to Steele as laundered legal expenses to a law firm.
Fifth, if Mueller’s theory is correct, three things make the Clinton Campaign a potential target: it knew Steele was a foreign citizen; it knew, and paid, Steele to influence an election; and it knew, and facilitated, Steele neither registering as a foreign agent nor reporting his funding from the Clinton campaign to the Federal Election Commission, by disguising its funding of payments to Steele laundered through a law firm as a “legal expense.”
Don’t expect such an indictment. Mueller chose his targets because he knows they will never appear in court, never contest the charges, and cannot be arrested or extradited as Russian citizens. Mueller’s unprecedented prosecution raises three novel arguments: first, that speaking out about American politics requires a foreign citizen to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act; second, that speaking out about American politics requires a foreign citizen list their source and expenditure of funding to the Federal Election Commission; and third, that mistakes on visa applications constitute “fraud” on the State Department. All appear to borrow from the now-discredited “honest services” theories Mueller’s team previously used in corporate and bribery cases, cases the Supreme Court overturned for their unconstitutional vagueness. The indictment raises serious issues under the free speech clause of the First Amendment and due process rights under the Fifth Amendment.

Because a change of company ownership occurred doesn’t mean that 10 to 20 percent of America’s uranium literally went to Russia. Neither Uranium One nor ARMZ (Rosatom’s mining subsidiary) is licensed to export uranium from the U.S. to other countries. You might not like that but it doesn’t matter. You don’t have to like facts.
Of the $145 million allegedly contributed to the Clinton Foundation by Uranium One investors, $131.3 million — came from a single donor, Frank Giustra, the company’s Canadian founder. But Giustra sold off his entire stake in the company in 2007, three years before the Russia deal and at least 18 months before Clinton became secretary of state.
You obviously know NOTHING. Except for what Fox News wants to feed you.

The Kerry State Department approved the visas for the Russian operatives to travel the US in 2014 through 2016 and attempt to interfere with the US election process.
Which they don't, but that's the common mistruth the right-wingnuts like to tell.
20% of in-situ production capacity is far different than 20% of total reserves. And that was 2010 estimates. In 2017 it was reported that Uranium One was responsible for a mere 5.9% of all US uranium production.
Furthermore, they don't "control" the uranium, they are just licensed to mine it. The US controls what is done with the uranium.
Sorry if those facts don't jive with your conspiracy theories.

Finally, Liddle’ Adam Schiff, the leakin’ monster of no control, is now blaming the Obama Administration for Russian meddling in the 2016 Election. He is finally right about something. Obama was President, knew of the threat, and did nothing. Thank you Adam!

Now that Adam Schiff is starting to blame President Obama for Russian meddling in the election, he is probably doing so as yet another excuse that the Democrats, lead by their fearless leader, Crooked Hillary Clinton, lost the 2016 election. But wasn’t I a great candidate?

Well, Obama was pushed around like a hotel vacuum cleaner. Pretty easy to be more of a leader than he was. My neighbor’s Shih Tzu has bigger balls than Obama... https://t.co/PunB0euzLu

How to you know these "facts" as you claim for certain? Where have you gleaned this absolute truth? The same question I asked Atheists of his references but of course never received an answer. I would hope you are not going to tell me a media outlet or the internet because I am somewhat impressed with this inside source that you wholeheartedly believe and have confirmed to be unquestioned data of information.

"Mueller's Indictments - After a long (and unfortunately ongoing) investigation, Bob Mueller has revealed that a bunch of Russians had 9-to-5 day jobs which consisted of posting bullcrap on Facebook and Twitter, not to help elect anyone, but just to screw with our heads. An effort which falls somewhere between minor espionage and snickering assholery.
We are shocked - shocked! - to discover that it's not a good idea to get your news from blips and blurps on social media, nor is it a great idea for Americans to forward inflammatory political messages without first checking to see if they're factual. (A meme directed towards our proregressive friends. )
This is, we suppose, evidence of Russian "meddling" in an election (and not for the first time), but semantics matter (unless you're anti-semantic) and meddling simply means the Russian trolls were sand in America's vasoline - irritating, annoying, and inconsequential. "Meddling" does not mean "affecting the outcome of the election," which flat out didn't happen..."
OK, then. You are a pawn sir, not capable of independent thoughts. You, like your counterparts are the problem in this country.
IMO, Anyone with such a closed mind to facts on EITHER SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT is a small minded idiot.
