Exclusive: First charges filed in Mueller investigation

[bripat9643]

The Trump dossier hasn't. I believe out of all the networks, they gave it 20 seconds combined reporting.

Because it's nonsense.

sorry dude, but the corruption around the uranium deal is real. the Clintons sold out the country for 140 million dollars. At least now we know their price.

I'm sorry. Which Clinton had approval authority over that deal?

Donations to the Clinton Foundation, and a Russian Uranium Takeover

Look at your own far left sources!

Great, it outlines payments but never answers my question. Which Clinton had approval authority?

That isn't required for a bribery charge, moron.

 

[eddiew37]

The Donald won every primary debate and royally kicked Crooked Hillary's ass in all their debates. One key thing is The Donald spoke from the gut as the former chairman of GE would say, and Crooked Hillary and the other stooges memorized talking points.

CLINTON won all 3 debates. You don't get debate points by being the biggest asshole and hurling the most attacks.

More proof that the far left is more dangerous than ISIS!

Bad boys bad boys ,whatcha going do ,watcha going to do when they come for you?

Silly far left drones and their debunked far left religious dogma!

Just clam you supported Hilary and nothing will happen!

Kosh After 7 decades ,,,
A new poll reveals President Trump's approval rating has plummeted to a record-breaking low.

The poll results come from Gallup's daily survey, and place Trump with a 33 percent approval ratings -- his lowest favorability number to date with the same pollster company. The daily poll also shows the commander in chief with a 62 percent disapproval rating.

As CNN notes, Trump's third-quarter numbers position him as the president with the worst ratings in that span in seven decades of surveys.

It is, dope. You don't bribe someone who isn't in a position to help you.
Bribery requires a quid pro quo. Neither Clinton had the authority over this deal to ensure it's approval.

If you want to make that case, you need to show that the deal wouldn't have happened without their efforts.

Wrong, dumbass. She was in a position to help the Russians. You don't need total control over a decision to be guilty of bribery. She gave a quid. She gave her vote in favor of selling the position to Russia. She also put pressure on other committee members to do likewise. Why else would anyone do something as stupid as selling 20% of our Uranium to the Russians.

It was a Russian company buying an interest in a Canadian company. The deal required vetting for any potential national security concerns. It then needed approval from The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) of which the State Dept was one of many approving depts.

"conspiracy against the United States"


READ: Paul Manafort And Rick Gates Indicted On 12 Counts

Ex-Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort charged with 'conspiracy against the United States'

What the hell is "conspiricay against the United States?"

Exacty what it says.


The first allegation against Paul Manafort and Rick Gates is "conspiracy against the United States".

But what does it mean?

The detail is spelled out in the US Code of Laws - Title 18, Chapter 19, Section 371.

What does the law say?
Firstly, you cannot be charged with conspiracy alone. The law is used against "two or more people" - in this case, Mr Manafort and Mr Gates.

Secondly, the law is broad. It can be used against a group who "commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose".

In a 1924 case, Hammerschmidt v. United States, Chief Justice William Taft (who was US President from from 1909 to 1913) defined "defraud".

"To conspire to defraud the United States means primarily to cheat the Government out of property or money," he said.

"But it also means to interfere with or obstruct one of its lawful governmental functions by deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest."


The last paragraph is telling. It could certainly pertain to collusion with a foreign govt in an effort to influence an election.It looks like a count they could all be charged with.

Great, but it has no connection to Trump or his campaign. All that happened before Trump even decided to run for president.

Manafort may be a slime ball criminal, Trump fired him. You dem/libs are so desperate that you are looking like complete fools. And, the funny thing is that this investigation will ultimately reveal the corruption of the Clintons and may put their sorry asses in jail.

The Uranium One deal was not Clinton’s to veto or approve

Among the ways these accusations stray from the facts is in attributing a power of veto or approval to Secretary Clinton that she simply did not have. Clinton was one of nine cabinet members and department heads that sit on the CFIUS, and the secretary of the treasury is its chairperson. CFIUS members are collectively charged with evaluating the transaction for potential national security issues, then turning their findings over to the president. By law, the committee can’t veto a transaction; only the president can. According to The New York Times, Clinton may not have even directly participated in the Uranium One decision. Then-Assistant Secretary of State Jose Fernandez, whose job it was to represent the State Dept. on CFIUS, said Clinton herself “never intervened” in committee matters.

Despite transfer of ownership, the uranium remained in the U.S.

A key fact ignored in criticisms of Clinton’s supposed involvement in the deal is that the uranium was not — nor could it be — exported, and remained under the control of U.S.-based subsidiaries of Uranium One, according to a statement by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission:

NRC’s review of the transfer of control request determined that the U.S. subsidiaries will
remain the licensees, will remain qualified to conduct the uranium recovery operations, and will continue to have the equipment, facilities, and procedures necessary to protect public health and safety and to minimize danger to life or property. The review also determined that the licensees will maintain adequate financial surety for eventual decommissioning of the sites. Neither Uranium One nor ARMZ holds an NRC export license, so no uranium produced at either facility may be exported.

FACT CHECK: Hillary Clinton Gave 20 Percent of United States' Uranium to Russia in Exchange for Clinton Foundation Donations?

FALSE

FALSE

the facts say otherwise. some of the uranium (to which Russia has title) was shipped from the USA through Canada and no one knows its final destination. That shipment was made without the proper export licenses. All of the approvers of the uranium deal were Obama appointees and Clinton supporters. Are you so naïve that you don't understand why they signed off on the deal?

Giustra sold off his entire stake in the company in 2007, three years before the Russia deal and at least 18 months before Clinton became secretary of state.
