The ideas in Scott Adams’ column on Wiretapping Word Thinking apply here.

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/158110404781/wiretapping-word-thinking

Excerpt:

I don’t have an opinion about what happened, or didn’t happen, with the wiretapping. But this story did make me laugh when I realized we find ourselves in the following fun situation:

1. President Trump is the world’s biggest liar (according to his foes).

And…

2. President Trump now has direct access to more national secrets than any other living human being.

And that means fun.

This wiretapping situation shows us how much fun it will be. Six months ago, if Trump made a hard-to-believe claim about something that is also hard to verify, the country would assume he was lying, incorrect, or negotiating. Now, if he says something hard-to-believe, such as the recent wiretapping claim, you have to wonder if the President knows something you don’t. Because he knows a lot of somethings you don’t.

Full item is worth reading.

The New York Times reported the Clintons' connections thusly: "Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal." Plus Bill Clinton pocketed $500,000 from a Moscow investment bank for a brief speech.

=================================================================================

The NYT and Washington Post never reported about Pravda's headline: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.” Imagine if a Republican State Department approved such a deal?

More egregiously, Hillary's campaign chairman, the ubiquitous John Podesta, acting as "The Podesta Group" (co-founded w/ his brother, Tony) lobbied on behalf of Uranium one, after most of it was owned by Russia.

PODESTA/RUSSIA LINKS---A leaked Jan. 3, 2014 document shows that Podesta transferred more than 25,000 of 75,000 shares of Joule Technologies---a Russian- connected firm---to Leonidio Holdings LLC......listed w/ an address at his daughter's Megan Rouse’s Shannon Court home in Dublin, California.

Megan Rouse operates Megan Rouse Financial Planning from that same address. The inference is to money laundering, perhaps tax evasion. Suggests that Megan Rouse's father, John Podesta, hid stocks connected to Russia.

=============================================

NOTE: Conspiring w/ a family member to hide income, launder illicit money, and evade taxes is a known scam---uncovered by the IRS in the UBS investigation.

IRS REFERENCE Offshore Tax-Avoidance and IRS Compliance Efforts

The IRS continues to uncover abusive tax-avoidance schemes involving offshore activity pertaining to Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) investigation.

BREAKING=> KREMLIN CONNECTION CONFIRMED!
Podesta Company Paid One Billion Rubles from Russian Govt
The Gateway Pundit ^ | Mar 31st, 2017 | Jim Hoft / FR Posted by xzins

FINALLY — INVESTIGATORS UNCOVER KREMLIN CONNECTION IN 2016 US ELECTION!

Confirmed— The Putin Government gave John Podesta 35 millions dollars (1 billion rubles) while he advised Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

-—Investigative reporter and author Peter Schweizer went on FOX and Friends to discuss Kremlin influence on US politics — and how the Clinton camp was in bed with the Putin regime. Peter Schweizer: In 2011 John Podesta joined the board of this very small energy company called Joule Energy based out of Massachusetts. About two months after he joins the board a Russian entity called RUSNANO puts a billion rubles, which is about $35 million, 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 finance minister called RUSNANO “Putin’s Child.”

So you have the Russian government investing in one of John Podesta’s business in 2011 while he is an adviser to Hillary Clinton at the State Department.

Fox’s Steve Doocy: OK. Does anybody in the Trump circle rise to the level that there is this kind of money involved?

Peter Schweizer: No. And, once again, the frenzy on the left is all a disguise to hide their own rampant corruption.

The Podesta angle in this must be investigated.

After she lost, the furious Hillary horse-whipped her 2016 campaign chair, John Podesta, into action. Podesta came charging out of the gate like Greased Lightning, galloping at breakneck speed, sweating it out, desperate to make Hillary look like a "victim."

John Podesta Op-Ed: Washington Post post-election op-ed / FR POSTED by by ColdOne

PODESTA: The more we learn about the Russian plot to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s campaign and elect Donald Trump, and the failure of the FBI to adequately respond, the more shocking it gets. The former acting director of the CIA has called the Russian cyberattack “the political equivalent of 9/11.” Just as after the real 9/11, we need a robust, independent investigation into what went wrong inside the government and how to better protect our country in the future.

As the former chair of the Clinton campaign and a direct target of Russian hacking, I understand just how serious this is. So I was surprised to read in the New York Times that when the FBI discovered the Russian attack in September 2015, it failed to (Excerpt) Read more of Podesta at washingtonpost.com ...

EXCLUSIVE: Dem Super-Lobbyist Podesta Got $170K
Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | March 6, 2017 | Richard Pollock / FR Posted by kevcol

Democrat super-lobbyist Tony Podesta (brother of John Podesta) was paid $170,000 over a six-month period last year to represent Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank, seeking to end one of the Obama administration’s economic sanctions against that country, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned.

Podesta, founder and chairman of the Podesta Group, is listed as a key lobbyist on behalf of Sberbank, according to Senate lobbying disclosure forms. His firm received more than $24 million in fees in 2016, much of it coming from foreign governments, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.

“The Podesta angle in this must be investigated.”

Agree. I would also be interested in knowing where the money went from Hillary’s sale of 20% of our uranium stock. Haven’t seen anything about this....

Roland Scahill takes offense to the President’s most recent tweet.

Who is Roland Swahili?

New York talent agent Roland Scahill has pleaded not guilty to charges of scamming seven investors out of $165,000 on a Broadway play, The KB Project, which apparently didn’t exist.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr. charged Scahill with felony counts of criminal possession of stolen property, grand larceny and scheme to defraud. He called the show a “phantom production.”

Given how many secrets he must know about
many powerful people in DC, he may feel he’s immune,
like Jimmy Savile —and for the same reason, imho.

It will really be something if Trump not only nails the Dems for illegal political spying but also turns their Russian influence narrative back on them.

What, this guy? Uncle Tony Podesta who lives right down the street from the Obama's?
 photo TonyPodesta02_zpsnssrixbu.jpg

Here is Uncle Tony Podesta posing at his home with some of his very special art. This very special art is modeled on a crime scene photo from the apartment of canibalistic serial killer Jeffery Dahmer or Dahmer was inspired to pose one of his victims like this artwork. Not sure which came first

He also bragged about building a special vault in his basement to show more “ complicated” art videos etc
The guys personal space is lined with pedophile and sadist inspired art

And then there was the cannibal art on the office wall of John “ Skippy” Podesta who bragged about slaughtering pigs in his youth and liked to shock his staff by using a slaughtered pig as a screensaver

That was Hillarys campaign advisor and potential next US Secretary of State
