President Donald Trump has been under concerted attack from the left over perceived and alleged improper ties to Russia — but that could be all smoke and mirrors to distract from the Democratic politicians who have the real inappropriate connections: John Podesta and Hillary Clinton.
That’s according to some watchdogging reporters — a small handful, admittedly — who’ve used their blogging or Government Accountability Institute offices to look at how close Clinton truly was with Russia, most notably through her top campaign aide, Podesta.

And as Trump tweeted: “Why does’t Fake News talk about Podesta ties to Russia as covered by @FoxNews or money from Russia to Clinton — sale of Uranium?”
Why doesn't Fake News talk about Podesta ties to Russia as covered by @FoxNews or money from Russia to Clinton – sale of Uranium?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 28, 2017
The uranium sale is something that investigative journalist Jon Rappoport has been covering for some time — in near media obscurity. Few other outlets have picked up on the story.
But Peter Schweizer, head of the GAI and author of “Clinton Cash,” is coming out full swing on the story in recent days, trying to chance the media narrative from all anti-Trump, all the time, to something a bit more factural.
As the blog Truth Revolt notes, Schweizer made an appearance on Fox & Friends to discuss the Clinton-Podesta ties to Russia, and this is how the discussion went:
“First, John Podesta — Clinton’s campaign chair — failed to disclose his stock holdings in a ‘Kremlin-funded company.’ This is a violation of federal law:
“‘In 2011, John Podesta joins the board of this very small energy company called Joule Energy based out of Massachusetts,’ Schweizer said. ‘About two months after he joins the board, a Russian entity called Rusnano puts a billion rubles — which is about 35 million dollars — into John Podesta’s company. Now, what is Rusnano? Rusnano is not a private company, Steve. It is a fund directly funded by the Kremlin. In fact, the Russian science minister called Rusnano Putin’s child. So you have the Russian government investing in one of John Podesta’s businesses in 2011, while he is an advisor to Hillary Clinton at the State Department.’
“Steve Doocy asked about the severity of this misconduct. ‘Does anyone in Trump’s circle rise to the level where there’s this kind of money involved?’
“‘Nobody that has an advisory role in the White House has had this money exchange. And certainly the money hasn’t exchanged as far as we know while they have been advising the president,’ he said, pointing out that while he was an advisor in the Obama White House, Podesta owned stock shares with ‘Putin’s Child’ and failed to disclose it.
“‘So then in 2013, he goes to the White House, to be a special counselor to Barack Obama, and that requires that you, you know, have financial disclosures every year,” he explained. “In his financial disclosure form in 2013, he not only fails to disclose these 75,000 shares of stock that he has in Joule Energy, which is funded in part by the Russian government. He also fails to disclose that he is on one of the three corporate boards that this entity has. It’s got this very complex ownership structure. He discloses he is on the company in Massachusetts, that is he on the board of a company in the Netherlands, but he fails to disclose that he is also on the executive board of the holding company. That’s a clear violation of the disclosure rules that I think needs to be looked at.’
“But what does it all mean? Why is it a big deal that these guys had Russian ties? Is this just the imagination run wild of someone who’s watched too many episode of The Americans? Not quite.
“‘What makes the Podesta case clear is there was a transfer of money and there was a transfer of a lot of money that stood to make John Podesta a lot of money. That is unique and that’s extremely troubling because at the time that transfer is taking place he is advising Hillary Clinton at the State Department. We know that from the Podesta emails that he is helping her make personnel decisions, speech decisions, policy decisions. He is meeting with her monthly. It’s a transfer of money from a foreign government, at the time that he is advising America’s chief diplomat, Hillary Clinton.'”

Still crickets from the MSM on this!

The anti-American democrats have always been very friendly to the russians. Back in the 1980’s, ted kennedy used to call the russians regularly to tell them what the U.S. is doing. No need for spies, kennedy, and other democrats, spilled their guts to the russians and kept them apprised of all things American.
The democrats are not friends of the United States. They want their communist America and they mean to see that through.

The only reason DemocRats complain about Russia (Trump’s) connection is that most probably Russians have dossier on Clinton’s gang and THEIR connection to Russia. That make them extremely nervous because in the case it will ever be disclosed the whole influence and power media and bureaucrats supporting them might be not enough to make cover of their crimes…

It is defiantly time for the Republicans to shitt or get off the pot. There are criminal charges to be filed or not. This donkey dance is making the whole Republican party look weak, indecisive and as thought they do not want to open the can of worms that it is. Put up or shut up, that goes for the democrats too.

I think we will find out, in short order, it is much worse than we could have imagined. To say they are crooks, doesn’t even seem adequate enough.

Over the last two days:
1. comey stated FBI relying on ‘Russia hacking’ investigation report paid for by hillary clinton.
2. dnc denied FBI access to its servers during ‘Russia hacking’ investigation.
3. Evelyn Farkas stated on msnbc that rat obama administration was spying on Trump.
Trump MUST fire every person rat obama hired during his two terms.

Democrats are trying to keep the focus of Russia on the Republicans so no one will find out about their own dealings with the Russians. Hillary and Podesta should be in prison.

While the media continues to be controlled by left wing elitists, Trump will have to fight against the continued propaganda spewed out by these fascist bastards. Sadly even though many people admit to not trusting the media, in reality they still sort of believe them.
