I'm shocked.

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” George Washington Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley argued that the allegations against the Clintons for the Uranium One deal and the Trump dossier are “more recognizable as a criminal allegation” than the allegations of Russian collusion against the Trump camp and possibly could be criminal.
Turley said, “Quite frankly, it’s good to have something that’s more recognizable as a criminal allegation. You know, the — I’ve — as you know, I’ve been very skeptical about the past Russian collusion claims as being a criminal matter, even though I supported the appointment of the special counsel after Comey was fired. I’ve been cautioning, and many others have, that it really isn’t a crime to collude. And in the same sense, it wouldn’t be a crime to receive information on Trump side from a foreign national. But the allegation against the Clintons could potentially be criminal. It doesn’t mean that they are criminal. The $500,000 given to Bill Clinton might have been innocent. The timing just might have been horrible. But that would be a cognizable crime if a linkage was found. In the same way, the allegation over the dossier does involve a potential violation of federal law. The Federal Election Commission Act requires campaigns to state a purpose for any money spent over about $200, to sort of have an item description for each of those amounts. There isn’t an item description for this law firm, for the amount of money that is being alleged to be given to this research firm.”
Turley noted that it is possible that the money could have come from an outside donor and noted that “there is a $66,000 research item that was mentioned, but there’s no reference to it.”

LOCK HER UP, DO YOUR JOB JEFF SESSIONS.
They took a national strategic asset and sold it for their personal gain. Reminds me of Teapot Dome.
The only reason he slipped the word possibly is that he has not seen the evidence or testimony yet.
Held my nose and watched the 7am half hour of NBC Today show. The subjects:
Korea
JFK files
Opiods
Harvey Weinstein
Rescue at sea
Weather
Of course, no mention of the Clintons and Uranium One or ‘RAT-Russia collusion.
On Fox, Gregg Jarrett listed the laws broken to Hannity:

Second half hour of Today show: Still no mention of Clintons, Uranium One, or Russia dossier. Guess they don’t exist.

Bookmark. Thanks!
Good start....but Turley (or somebody) needs to address the Clinton criminality in this context.
More egregiously (to me) is that the criminal Clintons used proprietary information----intel the govt uses to secure the safety and security of we, the people.....to carry out their criminal acts.
I consider it reprehensible that Secy Hillary routinely sent her itinerary to the Clinton Foundation, giving the Clintons govt info to plot their scams.
I'm shocked.
If a scandal falls in the forest on a democrat, and the newsprint fail to bleed, lead, or read about it, does it exist in the rest of the ABCNNBCBS media?
As I keep arguing, we are long past the day when the fake news drivebys matter. Trump has broken them.
Yes, they still have viewers/readers. But they do NOT speak to the “vast middle,” who now take what they have to say with a grain of salt.
Moreover, because of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., news “bleeds” into ordinary people through all sorts of other venues.
So, yes. The Scandal will be heard.
Your predictions have been accurate; my pessimism? Not so much. Thank you.
Lock them up ....and throw away key ...
There is never anything innocent about half a million dollars for a speech.
Much of Washington DC was redesigned to service white liberal elites and their pet projects... NOT the people of the country.

My pleasure.
