On Friday, <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2017\/10\/20\/hillary-clintons-russian-ghost-stories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Daily Caller<\/a> posted a detailed piece on the timeline and stories surrounding the Uranium One deal. It is a rather long article, and I strongly suggest that you follow the link above and read the entire piece. I will try to hit the highlights here.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>New <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Federal Bureau of Investigation\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=38.895216,-77.025131&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=38.895216,-77.025131 (Federal%20Bureau%20of%20Investigation)&amp;t=h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"geolocation noopener\">FBI<\/a> information about corruption in a Clinton-approved uranium deal with Russia raises questions about Clinton\u2019s actions after the FBI broke up a deep-cover <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Espionage\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Espionage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">Russian spy<\/a> ring in 2010.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>For a decade, the FBI ran an operation called Ghost Stories to monitor and rip apart a deep-cover Russian agent network. Ghost Stories tracked a ring Russian spies who lived between Boston and Washington, D.C., under false identities. It was one of the FBI\u2019s most elaborate and successful counterintelligence operations in history.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>After the FBI arrested 10 of the spies in June, 2010, Secretary of State Clinton worked feverishly to return the Russian agents to <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Moscow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mos.ru\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage noopener\">Moscow<\/a> in a hastily arranged, lopsided deal with Putin.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Obviously, she did not want the spies hanging around for further questioning.<\/p>\n<p>The story continues:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The day the FBI arrested the Russian agents, on June 28, 2010, the day before the secretary of state\u2019s husband, <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Bill Clinton\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bill_Clinton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">Bill Clinton<\/a>, was to give a speech in Moscow. A Kremlin-connected investment bank, Renaissance Capital, paid the former president $500,000 for the hour-long appearance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>An unnamed <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Hillary Clinton\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hillary_Clinton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">Hillary Clinton<\/a> spokesman told <a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Blotter\/russian-fem-spy-cynthia-murphy-spooked-us\/story?id=16061957\">ABC News<\/a> that there was \u201cno reason to think the Secretary was a target of this spy ring.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>That was a lie.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>So here are the key facts: The FBI found that <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Foreign Intelligence Service (Russia)\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=55.584,37.517&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=55.584,37.517 (Foreign%20Intelligence%20Service%20%28Russia%29)&amp;t=h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"geolocation noopener\">Russian intelligence<\/a> had targeted Hillary Clinton before and during her time as secretary of state. Clinton\u2019s spokespersons denied that this was so. Clinton opposed the Magnitsky sanctions on officials tied to Putin. After her husband received a half-million dollars in Moscow from a Kremlin-connected investment bank, Clinton moved with unusual speed to whisk the ring of 10 Russian spies out of the country and back to Moscow. She had the lopsided swap take place over a long summer weekend, before the FBI was finished with the spies, and before the spies could stand trial. While the FBI was separately investigating Russians involved with buying Uranium One, she approved the sale of American uranium to Russia\u2019s nuclear weapons agency. Principals in the sale then plowed $145 million into her family foundation and projects.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Several questions come to mind. Precisely what did the FBI know about Russia\u2019s spy service targeting Hillary Clinton and her inner circle? Why did Clinton deny through spokespersons that she had been a Russian target? Why did she work so feverishly to get the spies out of the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"United States\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667 (United%20States)&amp;t=h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"geolocation noopener\">United States<\/a> and back to Russia? Why has the FBI leadership not been more vocal in touting one of its greatest counterintelligence successes ever? And why did nobody in the FBI leadership raise this issue during the 2016 <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Elections in Russia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elections_in_Russia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia noopener\">Russian election<\/a> meddling controversy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The question in my mind is whether or not anyone will be held accountable for the transfer of uranium to Russia or the very strange donations from overseas that the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Clinton Foundation\" href=\"http:\/\/www.clintonfoundation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage noopener\">Clinton Foundation<\/a> received before and during the time that Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. It is also illustrative to note that when Hillary Clinton lost the election for President, much of the overseas money coming into the Clinton Foundation dried up. I truly believe that the Clinton Family is today&#8217;s version of Tammany Hall. It will be difficult to hold them accountable for any of their misdeeds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been known to make up my own words when I consider them appropriate.
