I stated my opinion that Huber was a prosecutor who would be obtaining indictments and preparing criminal cases from the evidence in the IG report.

You asked for a source, so I gave you three sources.

You didn't like my sources and started arguing and badgering me.

"....Read the damn letter. It's in plain English"....and "Geez, read the letter...."

Not my job to convince you that my opinions and sources meet your approval. You wanted nothing more than an argument. Now all of the sudden your tune changes. How convenient.

So now you've made a claim yourself. You said "I don't think there is evidence to support your claim."

So show me the source of your claim that there is no evidence supporting my claim. Prove it.

Pretty normal thing to do.

Now your claim remains unsupported.

I stated my opinion that Huber was a prosecutor who would be obtaining indictments and preparing criminal cases from the direct evidence in the IG report.

You said, "Huber is obtaining indictments and preparing criminal cases."

If you want to state that as an opinion, and that you have no direct evidence of it being a fact, then you should have said so earlier, and not blame me for asking for the evidence. And your three links didn't offer evidence.

"....Read the damn letter. It's in plain English"....and "Geez, read the letter...." Now all of the sudden your tune changes. How convenient.

I posted the Sessions letter in post #177 (to some other poster). I posted a summary of my direct evidence to you in post #248.

I'll retract the word "Geez" but I didn't change my tune.

As I've summarized using direct evidence from the Sessions letter, Huber's job is to make recommendations about the following three items:

1.) Open new investigations

2.) Add resources to current investigations

3.) Refer any matters to a Special Counsel.

If you know of any direct evidence that supports your opinion, that "Huber is obtaining indictments and preparing criminal cases", then please give me a ping.

If there is any increase in sealed indictments over this time last year, it probably just reflects Sessions’ stepped up war on marijuana and gang activity. If the indictments were what you hope they are, Clapper would have gotten one before the statute of limitations ran out on his brazen act of perjury.

At this point, I don't believe anything you say.

You have been tactless in your behavior and misguided in your comments.

Your claims remain unsupported and unsubstantiated. You have provided no proof at all to backup your claims.

The fact of the matter is, you're wrong.

You offer just your own opinion which has no more bearing on the truth than you claim mine does.

Huber is obtaining indictments and preparing criminal cases.

First you said that Huber "is" obtaining indictments.

I stated my opinion that Huber was a prosecutor who would be obtaining

Then after I question your statement you change your comment to Huber "would be" obtaining indictments....

Your claims remain unsupported and unsubstantiated. You have provided no proof at all to backup your claims.

I posted three facts stated in the Sessions letter. Apparently you don't the difference between a fact and an unsupported claim.

Right back at you. I don't believe a word that you say.

Clapper committed perjury. He lied about the scope of NSA surveillance. That’s not treason. It was an easy perjury case, though. He got a free pass because Sessions wimped out. No more difficult than that.

Wyoming Senator: "Obama Admin. Misled About Uranium One"
TruNews ^ | Dec 12, 2017 | Rick Wiles
FR Posted by smileyface

In a letter to Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairwoman Kristine Svinicki, Senate Environment & Public Works Committee Chairman John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) is demanding an explanation for how U.S. uranium left the country after the Uranium One deal.

The senator, who represents the home state of three of the company’s uranium recovery facilities, said he registered “strong concerns” about the 2010 deal with President Barack Obama. He said he now believes the response he received, and the “process” through which he received it, were “misleading.”

He notes that in March of 2011, then-NRC Chairman Greg Jaczko said that neither Uranium One nor the subsidiary of the Russian-government-owner Rosatom held the necessary export license to ship U.S. uranium out of the country. That assessment was repeated in the NRC’s recommendation to approve the Uranium One sale.

However, beginning in 2012, Uranium One was able to begin exporting uranium without an export license in a move called “piggy-backing,” where it was listed merely as a supplier on another company’s export license. However, that uranium that left the country was supposed to return for “future processing.”

Not only did that uranium leave the U.S., but it was eventually exported out of Canada........the home base of Clinton crony Frank Giustra.

This gambit by Bill Clinton (meddling in a foreign election) got the uranium scheme going. Bill's calculated handshake was a bonanza for the Kazahk president's re-election. Nazarbayev responded in kind and signed-off on the initial phase of the US uranium assets takeover.

Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev greets former
president Clinton (L) in Almaty on September 6, 2005.

NOTE Kazakh is remembered as the last state to peel off from the USSR.

CIRCA 2015 A Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter claims that former President Bill Clinton falsely denied hosting a meeting with Kazakh officials when she tried to write a story that involved his foundation several years ago.

Jo Becker, who works on the newspaper's investigative desk, said Clinton only confirmed the meeting took place after she informed him there were photographs.

Clinton's role in a deal that involved Kazakhstan, the Russian government, and a man (Giustra) who donated millions to the president's charitable foundation were detailed in a story Becker published on Thursday.

That article revisited some of her earlier reporting and included information from the upcoming book "Clinton Cash," which is generating widespread headlines amid a flurry of reports suggesting it will raise serious questions about Clinton's family foundation.

The donor in question is Canadian mining executive Frank Giustra, a longtime friend of the former president who has given tens of millions to the Clinton Foundation in the past few years. (A couple of hours after the NYT story was published, Giustra issued a defiant statement. We've included that below.)

Becker initially wrote about the February 2007 meeting between Clinton, Giustra, and executives from the state-owned nuclear company Kazatomprom in 2008. The gathering took place at Clinton's home in Chappaqua, New York.

"When I first contacted both the Clinton foundation — Mr. Clinton's spokesman — and Mr. Giustra, they denied any such meeting ever took place," Becker recalled in footage aired by Fox News on Thursday. However, Becker said Clinton and Giustra both changed their stories after she confronted them with evidence to the contrary.

"And then when we told them, 'Well we already talked to the head of Kazatomprom, who not only told us all about the meeting, but actually has a picture of him and Bill at the home in Chappaqua, and that he proudly displayed on his office wall.' They then acknowledged that yes, the meeting had taken place," Becker continued in the television interview.

The purpose of the meeting, then Kazatomprom President Moukhtar Dzhakishev told The Times, was to discuss Kazakhstan potentially buying a 10% stake in Westinghouse, a US nuclear company. Becker's 2008 story also noted one of Giustra's companies secured a deal to buy uranium deposits from Kazatomprom in 2005.

That agreement was made after Clinton accompanied Giustra on a trip to Kazakhstan. During the trip, Giustra and Clinton met with Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev.

Clinton issued a public statement praising the Kazakh leader despite his questionable, antidemocratic record. The Times called the praise a "propaganda coup" for Nazarbayev. (he later "won relection" w/ an unbelievable 90% of the vote)

"Just months after the Kazakh pact was finalized, Mr. Clinton's charitable foundation received its own windfall: a $31.3 million donation from Mr. Giustra that had remained a secret until he acknowledged it last month. The gift, combined with Mr. Giustra’s more recent and public pledge to give the William J. Clinton Foundation an additional $100 million, secured Mr. Giustra a place in Mr. Clinton’s inner circle," wrote Becker and another reporter, Don Van Natta.

A spokesperson for the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership told Business Insider they are "working on a formal statement" in response to a request for comment on Thursday. Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership is an initiative of the Clinton Foundation that was cofounded by Clinton and Giustra in 2007. A Clinton Foundation spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

Sorry. If I see something that you say that I disagree with, that needs to be pointed out, I will do so.

The stakes are to important. It's not about you. It's not about me. Is there a real investigation going on? Or is their a whitewash going on?

TBD.

Maybe an analogy would help. As Scott Adams [of Dilbert fame] likes to say, we are watching two different movies. In one movie Sessions is true blue, stealthy, crafty—and slowly but surely moving in for the kill. People who believe this movie point to Sessions’ long history as a conservative, his early endorsement of Trump, and then usually either to Q, Sundance, or both. They are unconcerned with the timeframe because if the job is worth doing, it’s worth doing right—plus, trust Sessions.

The other cannot accept the theory that every time Trump speaks or tweets about Sessions, he means the opposite of what he says. That is nothing like his MO for playing the press; it’s exactly like his longstanding reputation for honesty and bluntness.

The other movie also involves watching Sessions choose an Obama-appointed Democrat as the supposed white hat counterpoint to Mueller—and it’s too incredible to accept. Why a Democrat? Was there seriously no conservative GOPer available? Is an Obama-appointee absolutely the best we can do?

For me, watching Clapper skate was the last straw. Flynn lost his house for a far less clear-cut, murky case of so-called perjury than what Clapper did. Sessions had more than ample time and evidence to throw the book at Deep State anti-Trumper Clapper. Instead he gave the guy a free pass.

One movie is based mostly on evidence we haven’t yet seen—i.e.: the hammer we’re told Sessions will eventually bring down on the worst Leftist criminals. The other movie takes only into account the facts we already have. And those facts are simply abysmal, for anyone hoping for equal justice under the law.

PS: I realize the first movie also places great emphasis on the sealed indictments. But as I pointed out yesterday, those could be the result of Sessions’ stepped up war on marijuana and gang activity. We simply don’t know—but the lack of a sealed indictment for Clapper was definitely a clue.

Yup, good post.

For me, it's the Sessions recusal with Rosenstein being in charge of all matters connected to Hillary. It's Rosenstein signing a bogus FISA application. It's the chilling effect those things have on all of the FBI and DOJ to prosecute the Deep State.

It's taking Donald Trump at his word complaining about Sessions and Rosenstein. It's the missed indictment of Clapper and it's the not reopening of the IRS case.

I could go on.

It’s certainly all those things. Anyone at this point who can’t see that Rosenstein is a Deep State pro-Hillary anti-Trumper is not paying attention or not very bright. Yet when Rosenstein’s crooked participation in the illegal FISA warrant scam was reported, Sessions raced out that very day to lavish praise on Rosenstein. It was revolting.

There’s something fundamentally wrong with Sessions. He’s either taking a snit with Trump to very destructive lengths or he’s Deep State. I see no third option.
