Washington Post Performs Uranium One Scandal Spin Control
Newsbusters ^ | October 19, 2017 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 10/19/2017 6:25:05 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

So did Callum Borchers draw the short straw over at The Washington Post? One has to ask because he ended up with the rather unenviable task of performing spin control on the Uranium One scandal which broke wide open on October 17 with a big story written by John Solomon and Alison Spann in The Hill.

Borchers' spin technique was to grumble about those currently reporting on the scandal and then touch on the outline of what happened without getting too specific. Oh, and as a final touch, he compared the Uranium One scandal to foreign dignitaries staying at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C.

We shall see even more spin control in days and weeks ahead from much of the rest of the MSM.

How long does the Clinton Crime Family need to stall before all the applicable statutes of limitation run?

This is one of the main reasons they desperately want Trump out!

Many of the crimes are past the typical 5-year federal statute of limitations. But recovering illicit money and certain financial crimes have a much longer window.

Oh! That is why the Compost hired John Podesta.

All of this is old news. It was covered up by the FBI/DOJ, but it was in the news. Why is this being covered as new?

Spin like we haven’t seen in a very long time. But, some lies are too big to hide. Like this one.

Because most of the public has an attention span of about two weeks.

The NYT set up the ‘old news’ cover story way back in 2015. Very typical advance Clinton move:

I think that if they can find two crimes within a ten year period that they could still be charged under RICO. Wire fraud, mail fraud , bribery, money laundering, etc. Maybe under State laws too. Racketeering is part of the Clinton Family Racketeering Crime Family.

Maybe deep state had their jfk plan for CINC all buttoned up and this was the only way to stop them in their tracks.

When was the last act committed in furtherance of the conspiracy? If less than the time limitations referenced in Section 18, the limitations for previous crimes normally out of the time bounds, apparently can be waived.

In 2016 pressure was applied to the mentioned witness / informant to drop a legal case, which would have dredged up the whole affair.

That is what I think too. This is a good crime to smack hillary, mueller and comey with. Maybe 0bama too. It should be treason charges, but Republicans are too timid for that.

I have asked many co workers about the Uranium One Scandal and none knew what it was out of maybe 20 people. These are engineers and other tech types, not school teachers and union workers.

I’ve wondered if CINC’s abrupt ‘sure, let’s negotiate’ turnaround with NK was because he got proof thats where our urianium ended up in their nuke tests.

I also wonder if zero/holder really didn’t know who the informant was but suspected Carter Page, hence all the persecution of DJT.
