now sessions is taking up republican congressmen's requests to investigate uranium one and the clintion foundation.

so, the dems who have been so happy about a special prosecutor investigating the trump campaign,

might not be so gleeful when dirt is being dug up (witnesses face perjury charges for not telling the truth, of course) on the other side of the fence, as it were.

Except it's already been investigated to death during the campaign, and if there was any dirt to be found they would have dug it up.

This is a simple one-trick pony show designed, as I stated above, so that the Hannity and the three stooges on Fox and Friends can say that Sessions is only being investigated for lying because he's looking at Clinton.

There is nothing there.

More pointless fucking dog whistling.

IMO, you will hear the words in the next year: "unmasking for political purposes".

obama cabinet officials will go to jail (just my prediction).

No, it will be like Benghazi.

A load of fucking rubbish but highly effective at making idiots believe there is something there when there is not.

Having said that, I don't know who that African American bint was, but she was almost as bad at waffling as Sessions is.

Thankfully Mueller's questions will be a little more direct.

so, harry, what do you think this is about?

Fuck knows, they're your words.

Fucking hell, this format of questioning is ideal for Sessions to squirm out of answering them.

Instead of "I don't know", he says "I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to not have to attempt to answer that".

even fox news knows there is nothing to the uranium one nonsense being peddled by breibart and bannon's useful idiots....

Did you see all the vitriol from the stupid trumpanzees?

Shep will probably get the shove for that. Maybe he can get a job with a News organisation.

Hundreds of posts eh? There is an on going investigation that has so far resulted in one conviction and three arrests with more likely to come. Nice straw man argument though.

These arrests have nothing to do with Trump colluding do they.

​Fox News' Shepard Smith expertly poked holes in the Uranium One conspiracy peddled by his own network. And now viewers are calling for his head.

In an awe-inspiring segment Tuesday, Smith defiantly discredited the story alleging then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton approved the sale of uranium to Russia in exchange for kickbacks to her charity foundation.

"What is Uranium One? Uranium One is the name of a South African-based mining company," Smith explained Tuesday to his audience. "Back in 2007, it merged with Eurasia Energy, based in Canada. And in 2010, the mining arm of the Russian nuclear agency, Rosatom, bought controlling interests in the company."

Smith described in detail that why the Uranium One story was a non-scandal.

"Now, here's the accusation," Smith said. "Nine people involved in the deal made donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling more than $140 million. In exchange, Secretary of State [Hillary] Clinton approved the sale to the Russians, a quid-pro-quo. The accusation first made by Peter Schweizer, the senior editor-at-large of the website Breitbart in his 2015 book Clinton Cash. The next year, candidate Donald Trump cited the accusation as an example of Clinton corruption."

Smith played a clip of Trump saying that Clinton's State Department "approved the transfer of 20 percent of America's uranium holdings to Russia. Well, nine investors in the deal funneled $145 million to the Clinton Foundation."

"That statement is inaccurate in a number of ways," Smith said in response to Trump's quote. "First, the Clinton State Department had no power to veto or approve that transaction. It could do neither." A committee on foreign investment in the U.S., headed by the secretary of treasury and nine other federal department heads, actually had a final say over the deal,

"The nine department heads all approved the sale of Uranium One," Smith told his audience. "It was unanimous, not a Hillary Clinton approval. We don't know definitively whether Secretary Clinton participated at all directly. The then-Secretary of State -- I should say Assistant Secretary of State Jose Fernando represented State on CFIUS. He says she did not, reporting that the secretary never intervened."

What made the conspiracy even more bizarre is the implication that Clinton risked America's national security interest by allowing Russia to get its hands on uranium. But, as Smith explains, Uranium One sells the uranium that it mines to civilian power reactors in the U.S.

As far as the donations to the Clinton Foundation, one of the nine donors Trump mentioned, Frank Giustra, the founder of Eurasia Energy, gave $131 million of the $145 million at issue here. Smith explained that Giustra sold his stake in the company back in 2007 — before the Uranium One deal was made, so his donations could not have been involved with the transaction.

"The accusation is predicated on the charge that Secretary Clinton approved the sale," Smith said to conclude the segment. "She did not. A committee of nine evaluated the sale, the president approved the sale, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and others had to offer permits, and none of the uranium was exported for use by the U.S. to Russia. That is Uranium One."

The segment did not go over well with Fox News viewers, who were hoping that the scandal would distract from the disasters plaguing the Trump administration. Fox's audience took to Twitter to express their disgust in Smith and some even called for his firing.

Chris Wallace and Shepard Smith should start a show on CNN called "Pink Hat Brigade" that's where you both belong. Shameful Fox, Get rid of these two asshats. — Matt Couch 🔸 (@RealMattCouch) November 13, 2017

.@ShepNewsTeam has always been a lackey for the Democrats. The fact he skewed what many of us actually believe, shows he's pushing the MSM narrative, that was created by the left. Why didn't he name the 9 involved in the Committee who approved the deal?
— James Brower 🍦🍦 (@jbro_1776) November 15, 2017

Shepard Smith is a clown, a joke and a shill for the Left. His "protected class" status is the only reason he remains employed. He is a FoxNews embarrassment. https://t.co/H1cr91pVnv — thebradfordfile (@thebradfordfile) November 15, 2017

@FoxNews if I wanted to see an unfactual and slanted view I would watch CNN. I can’t watch Shepard Smith anymore. I’m dont with that show. He is arrogant and clearly anti trump — Jim Hennahane (@limabean002) November 14, 2017

FIRE SHEPARD SMITH!!!! I’m done with Fox until they do! He is a lefty probably registered democrat. POS! — Donald Patrick (@loafpat1) November 15, 2017

It’s time to fire Shepard Smith I think he would feel much more at home reporting fake news on CNN he’s a liar and very fake news
— Dean Morgan (@deanmorgan65) November 14, 2017

Shepard Smith needs to move to CNN. He is as big a Trump hater as the other fools on CNN. Fox should dump him. — Mike Thompson (@MikeTho99372094) November 7, 2017

#foxnews - Here we go again with that shit Shepard Smith giving his anti-Trump comments on AG Sessions testimony. Shep it's clear u suck! — essdee (@essdee524) November 14, 2017

Is Shepard Smith Hillary’s attorney or what?!?.....geez he has to be on her payroll OR he’s drank a gallon of her kool-aid today!! Sickening. He’s got Uranium One all figured out and Hillary is blameless... He needs to go to CNN or MSNBC ASAP!! — Debra (@drlamb97) November 14, 2017

"Shepherd Smith" @FoxNews Time to retire @ShepNewsTeam We've just about had it with his liberal views...LOSER!
— Suzi S. (@CAoutcast) November 15, 2017

Hours later, Smith's colleague, Sean Hannity, would showcase a chart that tried to implicate Clinton in a shady, corrupted deal.

.@FoxNewsAlert: If I'm following @seanhannity, Bill and Hillary are married. They each had one child - Renaissance Capital and CFIUS. With donated material from Eric Holder, they all gave birth to Uranium One. #Hannity

I do not care if they do or not. Clinton was impeached for something completely unrelated to what Ken Starr was appointed to investigate and I could give two shits what Drumpf winds up getting nailed for. It could be money laundering or colluding I could care less which.

The department, in a letter sent to the House Judiciary Committee, said the prosecutors would examine allegations that donations to the Clinton Foundation were tied to a 2010 decision by the Obama administration to allow a Russian nuclear agency to buy Uranium One, a company that owned access to uranium in the United States, and other issues.

Although Mr. Sessions has recused himself from all matters related to the election, he and the deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, will oversee the prosecutors’ decision to appoint the special counsel, the letter said.

“These senior prosecutors will report directly to the attorney general and the deputy attorney general, as appropriate, and will make recommendations as to whether any matters not currently under investigation should be opened, whether any matters currently under investigation require further resources, or whether any matters merit a special counsel,” Stephen E. Boyd, an assistant attorney general, said in the letter to the House Judiciary Committee.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.4e8701548a57


Attorney General Jeff Sessions is entertaining the idea of appointing a second special counsel to investigate a host of Republican concerns — including alleged wrongdoing by the Clinton Foundation and the controversial sale of a uranium company to Russia — and has directed senior federal prosecutors to explore at least some of the matters and report back to him and his top deputy, according to a letter obtained by The Washington Post.


The revelation came in a response by the Justice Department to an inquiry from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte

sure....you weren't referring to uranium one....you just typed "uranium one" and quoted two articles about uranium one.

you just love expressing your "inner bitchy teenager", don't you?

having a circle jerk (gossiping about a poster) with other posters.

in case you haven't noticed, the posters who aren't part of your clique don't piggy back on other posters' flames as it's weak.

your clique are the silly little boys who do that.

They did not "pay" for the so called "dodgy" dossier. That is garbage right wing propaganda.

They were the third party who were handed an ongoing investigation that was initiated by two republican entities. The dossier was just an end game bonus round loot, furthermore how can it be dodgy when not a shred of it has been debunked?

as has been reported in various newspapers, gps was hired by republicans to dig up dirt on trump during the primaries.

after democrats hired gps, steele (the brit spy) was hired to put together what is referred to now as the "dodgy dossier".

This coming from a tefler? GTFO you imbecile. You are one of the most tedious of TD posters and clearly lacking in brain cells. You would be pitching a tent under a bridge in my city.
