Newsweek

quote:

Assessment: Yes, the foundation received money and Bill Clinton was paid to give a speech, but there’s no evidence the Clintons were paid by Russians to push through the uranium deal.


Wouldn’t any sane person(s) admit that the CF’s receiving millions of dollars and Bill’s paid speech looks like evidence?

Immediately the Clinton Praetorian Guards spring into action to carry their water. Amazing at how far the media will stretch stories and connections to paint Trump negatively yet will deflect, lie, project and smear all in their futile effort to provide cover for the nefarious actions of the Clintons. Deplorable.

But Trump not receiving anything from Russia nor them doing any favors for Russians deserves a special counsel

I believe Hillary did conspire over this deal but unless we have a smoking gun (like an email marking out the parameters of the deal) then it's circumstantial at best and we've already seen how much leeway with the law the Clintons get.

There's the problem. You expect liberals & the media to act sane.

Why a media entity feels the need to try and walk back a 100% honest and informative article is interesting.

It’s not as if the Clinton’s are going to leave evidence around.....not their style. However, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it’s a duck.

The clintons received large sums of money from russians

During that time hillary approved an uranium sale to russia

Newsweek's conclusion: no evidence

There's a reason newsweek no longer has to kill trees to print their rag.

This is nothing. Do some research on Victor Pinchuk and its quite easy to see why Putin hates Hillary.

Remember in the movie "Hoffa" when the reporter gets a package and it's a dick and balls and then he tells them "Kill the Story!"

That's probably about what happened here

The prevailing defense leading this right now is “The Clinton Foundation is a charity organization and the Clintons don’t profit from it.” and “Bill has gotten paid six figures on several dozen speeches, not just by Russia.”

Now my response to these excuses are...

1. WTF does Bill have to say to a bunch of Nuclear Energy Sector Russian executives to begin with?? We’re not stupid. We already know that most of, if not all of, these “speeches” were simply quid pro quo installments for when Hillary became President. Notice how he’s not done anymore six figure speeches since she lost? You’re losing because we see what’s really going on and aren’t falling for your retarded attempts to obfuscate obvious corruption.

2. The Clinton Foundation pays exorbitant seven figure salaries to the Clinton family members, including Chelsea. On top of this, the Foundation actually spends its money on hundreds of large scale projects where corporations get paid to render services. For example, the CF pays a contracting company to build a new wing to a hospital. Tens of millions of dollars. And conveniently, this contracting company pays its CEO a massive bonus. And this CEO turns around and hosts a huge fund raising party for the Clinton Campaign where he donates several million to her PAC, which then uses these funds to pay for a private jet to fly the Clintons all over the country campaigning.

In other words, don’t give us the bullshite that the Clintons didnt get any part of this $145 million donated from the group involved in the Uranium One deal.

Hillary spent nearly $1 billion on her campaign. She made a shite ton of quid pro quo promises on deals to secure that insane amount of donations. And the Uranium One deal was one of them.

I think that there is a great possibility that the email in question might be found in the 30,0000 that were wiped, you know, with a cloth or something.....

So Newsweek admits there is a stain on their dress but won't admit what the stain is and where it might have come from?

Amazing journalism right there.

But even though there has been no corroborating evidence, the Russian dossier seems to be all they need to continue calls for an investigation of Trump and possible Russian collusion.

They must have gotten that assessment from Snopes, which almost exactly says the same thing. What a load of crap.

People are convicted using circumstantial evidence all the time. Enough circumstantial evidence can lead to guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. You don't always have to have a tape of them making the deal or a signed confession.

Snopes is still a thing? Weren’t they basically exposed as a shill mouthpiece?
