The NRA filtered Russian money into Trump - $30 Million total NRA $$ to Trump campaign, compared to $20 Million for Romney - and various Republican Congressional contests.


Russian money ties to NRA under FBI scrutiny (https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow/watch/russian-money-ties-to-nra-under-fbi-scrutiny-1140425283667)

Hmmmmmmm, makes you wonder who was NOT paid by the Russians...

Anyone?  Anyone?  Buehler?

 

The DNC was not paid by the Russians.  But that might be just about it. 

the NRA has sunk so low that it's now a Russian front organization.

So the DNC and Criminal Clinton paid Russia for a phoney dossier and it was used to get a FISA warrant to spy on their political enemies?


Sounds like treason to me (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/angry.gif)

Prosecute them now!

Widdle Wee Wee loves his little Soviet Fake News lies.  Now he is falsely claiming that Hillary and the DNC paid Russia for the Steele Dossier that helped to expose the treason of Traitor Trump and his administration.  Widdle Wee Wee hates that he and his dear leader have been exposed.  Poor widdle feller. 

his lies and his guns are all zippy has now.   soon even his trumpster will be gone as Mueller close in.

Comey is all lawyered up now

Who is next to lawyer up on Nunes list of Barry’s crew??

see zippy always reverts back to the bullshit.

Your link doesn’t match your subject JW (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/rolleyes.gif)

Why am I not surprised you have to lie to think you are relevant ???

You’d be more welcome on a leftist site where the gullible will believe your BS more readily (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/hattip.gif)

At least the rest of us put links...

Zippy NEVER links to anything, except its stupidity...

 

Because they are under investigation...for what appears to be...the NRA was a front organization for the National Rife Association.

The most phony patriotic organization was in cahoots with the Russians to influence the 2016 elections...

Or the NRA is a bunch of patsies, who got pantsed by the Russians.


which explanation does the aesopsretreat right wingers gonna hang their hat on?

it sure explains the noticeable effort of LaPeePee and their spokesperson, in their recent attacks on the FBI.  and maybe that's also part of Trump's attack on the FBI - the Russians told Trump the FBI was gonna open up a big can of worms.

The FBI is trying to contain the exceedingly bad PR that has been happening for them as of late!

scandal after scandal being revealed at the top of the once respected beurocracy!

How does this compare with Mr. & Mrs Bill Clinton taking $150 million from the Russians in exchange for US mined uranium resources? 

what's that got to do with the NRA being a Putin front organization?

Apparently the Criminal Clinton’s were Putin’s front crime syndicate

zippy's back to his safe place again.

"zippy's back to his safe place again."

Again with unrelated unintelligible comments, ms/master wvit1001?

I can't help it if you are intelligent omiaqt.

Who said Omi was intelligent?

name your source!

poor sine...all you have is your vast warped imagination.


Face the facts as presented:  The Russians funneled money through the NRA - either knowingly or they were duped - that was used in the 2016 Presidential and Congressional campaigns.

Each and every Republican who accepted any money from the NRA is culpable. 

Culpable for what?

WhT laws were allegedly broke ?

Poor JW has to lie to try to be relevant

YYou keep referring to "zippy"--who is zippy?

It’s a fignewton of nitwits magnification

I guess I must assume it is a slight toward another member of this Board?

So the NRA took in Russian money used in 2016 Campaign
 
How stupid are you?   I get donations from time to time, but I never ever ask what their politics are.  But I'm sure you will insist that if someone walked up to you on the street and handed you $1,000 the first thing you would say is "Hey! who did you vote for!"   And if they said Trump you would toss that money to the ground and say: "I can't accept this."
 

The article said alleged

They are looking into it like they are looking into Trump for Russian collusion

Somebody gullible and foolish enough to keep parroting this easily disproven bullshit from 8 freaking years ago.  8 freaking years of this right wing bullshit being spewed, and 8 freaking years of it being totally disproven!!  everything about it is a lie.  from the 150 million dollars, to from the Russians, to either Clinton having anything to do with the sale of a small percentage of uranium mines to a Canadian company, with the proviso no Uranium from these few mines COULD LEAVE THE COUNTRY, to how 9 different agencies signed off on the deal.  An administrative state department head specializing in these type deals sat in for the State Dept., not Hillary, as it was too mundane for her to be involved, and only President Obama could negate the deal anyway or approve it.  The 9 agencies had to give their opinions so the President could take their opinions into consideration when he made the final decision.....READ SOMETHING....QUIT BELIEVING FOX AND BREITBART AND INFOWARS AND GATEWAY PUNDIT.  GROW A BRAIN.

Shep Smith fact-checks Fox News on Clinton, Uranium One deal

Nov 15, 2017 - Over the course of six minutes, Shep Smith provided a thorough fact-check of the latest Clinton-related conspiracy theory to capture the attention of Republican lawmakers and his colleagues at Fox News.


The Facts on Uranium One - FactCheck.org
https://www.factcheck.org/2017/10/facts-uranium-one/
Oct 26, 2017 - We don't even know if Clinton was involved in the committee's review and approval of the uranium deal. Jose Fernandez, a former assistant secretary of state, told the New York Times that he represented the department on the committee. “Mrs. Clinton never intervened with me on any C.F.I.U.S. matter,” he ...

The Committee on Foreign Investments has nine members, including the secretaries of the treasury, state, defense, homeland security, commerce and energy; the attorney general; and representatives from two White House offices (the United States Trade Representative and the Office of Science and Technology Policy).

The committee can’t actually stop a sale from going through — it can only approve a sale. The president is the only one who can stop a sale, if the committee or any one member “recommends suspension or prohibition of the transaction,” according to guidelines issued by the Treasury Department in December 2008 after the department adopted its final rule a month earlier.

For this and other reasons, we have written that Trump is wrong to claim that Clinton “gave away 20 percent of the uranium in the United States” to Russia. Clinton could have objected — as could the eight other voting members — but that objection alone wouldn’t have stopped the sale of the stake of Uranium One to Rosatom.

“Only the President has the authority to suspend or prohibit a covered transaction,” the federal guidelines say.

We don’t know much about the committee’s deliberations because there are “strong confidentiality requirements” prohibiting disclosure of information filed with the committee, the Treasury Department says on its website. Some information would have become available if the committee or any one of its members objected to the sale. But none of the nine members objected.

“When a transaction is referred to the President, however, the decision of the President is announced publicly,” Treasury says.

We don’t even know if Clinton was involved in the committee’s review and approval of the uranium deal. Jose Fernandez, a former assistant secretary of state, told the New York Times that he represented the department on the committee. “Mrs. Clinton never intervened with me on any C.F.I.U.S. matter,” he told the Times, referring to the committee by its acronym.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
It is also important to note that other federal approvals were needed to complete the deal, and even still more approvals would be needed to export the uranium.

First, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission had to approve the transfer of two uranium recovery licenses in Wyoming from Uranium One to the Russian company. The NRC announced it approved the transfer on Nov. 24, 2010. But, as the NRC explained at the time, “no uranium produced at either facility may be exported.”

In a June 2015 letter to Rep. Peter Visclosky, the NRC said it granted RSB Logistics Services an amendment to its export license in 2012 to allow the Kentucky shipping company to export uranium to Canada from various sources — including from a Uranium One site in Wyoming. The NRC said that the export license allowed RSB to ship uranium to a conversion plant in Canada and then back to the United States for further processing.


Canada must obtain U.S. approval to transfer any U.S. uranium to any country other than the United States, the letter says.


“Please be assured that no Uranium One, Inc.-produced uranium has been shipped directly to Russia and the U.S. Government has not authorized any country to re-transfer U.S. uranium to Russia,” the 2015 letter said.


“That 2015 statement remains true today,” David McIntyre, a spokesman for the NRC, told us in an email.

So Barry okayed the $150 million to Criminal Clinton

Now we need to find out what Barry’s cut was ???
