Clinton, Russia and Trump

There is a lot in the news abut the fact that Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid $9 million for a sleazy report on Trump. It can get confusing so here is a quick summary and timeline of what occurred as far as we know today.

The story begins a few years ago when Hillary Clinton was still Secretary of State. Russia wanted to purchase nuclear transportation assets and a percentage of our Uranium rights. In furtherance of this it appears that Russia was suspected and investigated for bribery and kickbacks to get these contracts and our governments approval to make the purchase of the uranium rights. After Hillary approved the deal the Clinton foundation received $140 million from Russia and Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 personally for speaking in Russia.

Now we move ahead to the election. As she was preparing to run for President, one person working for Hillary was asked to survey to find her biggest vulnerability. The answer came back, "Russia" when people were told that she had authorized the sale of Uranium to them and how the Clinton Foundation got the $140 million. That was specifically stated in an e-mail to her campaign on June 26, 2015. An email to John Podesta from brentbbi@webtv.net dated 12/21/15 suggested that they go after Trump as being in a bromance with Putin..

According to the law firm that represents Hillary, Perkins Coie LLP, they were approached by Fusion GPS in March of 2016 which claimed to have previously been collecting dirt on Trump for a Republican who no longer needed it. While we do not know who the Republican was, it may well have been the Bush campaign as they had the funds to do it and this dossier did not come cheap. The law firm contacted their clients at the DNC and in Hillary's campaign and the Hillary campaign agreed to hire Fusion GPS in April.

Perkins Coie - Fusion GPS. This is a statement from the attorneys that hired Fusion GPS for the Clinton campaign. Thc contract with Fusion ended just before the election in November of that year and the DNC and Hillary's campaign paid almost $9 million for the report and investigation. That is a lot to pay for a document that could not be verified by anyone and in fact neither the DNC or Hillary Clinton ever used any of the information because they couldn't prove it either. The FBI, CIA and NSA all looked into it and couldn't verify it. What we do know is that much of it has been proven 100% wrong as it relates to specific individuals and where and when they were.

Fusion GPS then began shopping for some way to make a couple of more bucks off the story. They shopped it to a whole bunch of media organizations and others; but, no buyers. On January 10, 2017 after Hillary lost the election, Buzzfeed published the documents. Buzzfeed - These Reports Allege Trump Has Deep Ties To Russia.

Trump Dossier.

On January 6, 2017 Congress certified the electoral college results and Trump was made President. Trump was sworn into office on January 20, 2017. I want you to understand the timeframe. The electoral college gives the election to Trump, Congress certifies the results on January 6th and the dossier is published on January 10th. After it was published there were calls for preventing Trump to be sworn in.

Since the release of the report Hillary and the DNC constantly denied any involvement; but, according to the attorney who represented them in hiring Gusion GPS was a lie. It should be noted that according to the dossier, the people who Hillary and the DNC hired worked directly with the Russians to create the report. One might say they colluded together.

We are now being told that neither Podesta nor Hillary knew that they had paid for this document. Well, who had authority to authorize a $9 million dollar campaign expense without getting approval from Hillary Clinton. I mean it is a lot of money for a poorly written report.
