    If I'm right, she will be an establishment buster and that will be her niche.

    She has 2 choices, go down with the ship, or take the ship down. We'll see what she does. Wiki showed us they thought she was a spoiled brat when she brought stuff up. Wiki sank Hillary but saved Chelsea.

    Like a typical collectivist, he hid/ignored it and gave them a pass. He's probably on the take.

    235gate is a HUGE story, and what should be investigated and discussed in the MSM.

    So of course neither.

    There seems to be a real reluctance on the right to go after previous administrations, which I can see, it hardly serves self-government and the peaceful exchange of power if the new Administration promptly jails the previous Administration, so on that level, I agree with the reluctance. But then I remember how the Special Prosecutor kept working to try to jail Ronald Reagan and it wasn't until Papa Bush finally pardoned everyone that the Special Prosecutor was finally shut down.

    And on a more practical note from the Trump Administration's perspective, what happens should his administration be followed by a Kamala Harris Administration?

    This is not a road I want to go down, and unless the crimes are so egregious that it is simply not justifiable not to prosecute, I don't expect much to come of this, clearly AG Sessions views the concept as unseemly.

    What does it do to our long history of the peaceful exchange of power if incoming Administrations promptly jail outgoing Administrations? A better answer would probably more extensive use of the impeachment power. For example, should Hillary be found to be completely and undeniably corrupt, she should be impeached and since he doesn't hold office, she wouldn't be removed from office, but she would be forever barred from holding a position of trust in the Federal Government.

    I think that is more in line with the vision of our Framers, and they really did some good deep thinking when they framed the Constitution. I don't want to see our judicial system more weaponized into a political weapon.

    Impeachment, even post office, serves to publicly label the person and the conduct as deplorable and keeps it in the political rather than judicial realm.

    Bombshell: FBI Found Russia Bribery, Extortion Plot In US Nuclear Industry — In 2009
    .
    The FBI began to piece together a Russian operation designed to advance Vladimir Putin’s control of nuclear materials in 2009 that involved both bribery and extortion. The discovery predated two key decisions that gave Moscow control over a significant portion of the US uranium market, including the Uranium One deal that put hundreds of thousands of dollars into Bill Clinton’s pockets:

    Before the Obama administration approved a controversial deal in 2010 giving Moscow control of a large swath of American uranium, the FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States, according to government documents and interviews.

    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 documents show.

    And guess whose charitable foundation benefited from this, according to one FBI witness and documentation gathered by the FBI?

    They also obtained an eyewitness account — 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.

    There were actually two deals that served Putin’s interests involved in this operation. The year after State approved the purchase of Uranium One by Russia’s state-owned Rosatom in 2010, the Obama administration gave approval for Rosatom to vastly expand its sales of uranium inside the US through its Tenex subsidiary. Until then, Tenex could only sell Russian uranium gleaned from decommissioned nuclear weapons, part of the US attempts to incentivize Moscow into cannibalizing its nukes. The two combined deals gave Moscow a great deal of leverage in the US nuclear market — and the bribes and extortion alone created “legitimate security concerns” of their own.

    The Department of Justice, however, never went public with its probe. Instead, Solomon and Spann report, they sat on it for four years:

    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 benefitting Putin’s commercial nuclear ambitions.

    This involved millions of dollars in bribes and kickbacks. The FBI probe exposed new avenues of money laundering, an intelligence boon that may have serious repercussions for Russian intelligence down the road.

    Curiously, though, the DoJ never took any credit for it. In fact, they buried the probe even after indicting some Russian principals in the operation. They only announced in 2015 that they had reached plea deals in a case involving money laundering, saying nothing about bribery, extortion, or the intent to corrupt the US nuclear industry. That information was so compartmentalized that even the FBI’s top criminal-investigation officer had no idea of the extent of the case, and no one in Congress was ever briefed on the national security concerns raised in the case. In fact, House Intelligence chair Mike Rogers claimed to the Hill that no one ever mentioned the case at all to him, despite already-extant concerns over the Uranium One deal on Capitol Hill.

    That smells like a political cover-up of the first magnitude. Congress and the current Department of Justice should look into what the FBI found in 2009-10, how much of it benefited Bill and Hillary Clinton — and why the DoJ and the Obama administration never briefed the intelligence committees on this Russian collusion operation. And maybe special counsel Robert Mueller should explain what he knew about these investigations, which took place while he was FBI director, and why this information got buried until now.

    Apparently the shill tactic (same line is being used across the whole internet) is to attack the author which is a step down from attacking the source, since usually The Hill is considered a "safe source" by the left. You can use this to identify which people are shills because it's such an obscure argument to make, the fact that such an obscure argument is being used by a wide variety of people strongly suggests that they didn't come up with it themselves.

    Hillary Clinton is a treasonous piece of garbage and everyone in the nuclear community (where I work) knows it. It's sad that Leftists are out there to give her cover, because .... ideology!

    Chuck Grassley has opened an investigation into Uranium 1 ... The BIG news, is that the FBI's own informant in the Uranium 1 collusion / extortion / bribery / racketeering investigation has come forward, and claims he was BLOCKED from testifying before congress at the time the scheme(s) were being hatched.

    Our leftists, who thought that they were so brilliant by pushing the political meme of Right of Center collusion with Russia, obviously never thought any of this out when even the average Right of Center citizen (and moderates as well) knew very well that it was the Left and its leadership with a deep history of colluding, conspiring, and getting into financial bed in 'pay for play' schemes with the Russians. Now that the 'investigation' is finally being split in half with the intelligent part of it aimed at the throat of the Dem Party leadership the political fur is really going to fly because in that direction there actually IS a there . . . there.
