Clinton Aide Lashes Out at ‘Clinton Cash’ Author Peter Schweizer Over Russian Bribery Revelations
A former press secretary for Bill Clinton lashed out on Twitter Thursday, after a report this week revealed the existence of an FBI criminal investigation into a Russian nuclear energy company that the Obama administration allowed the sale of uranium assets to in 2010.
Angel Ureña attacked Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute and author of Clinton Cash, who had reported extensively and exclusively on then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton’s relationship to the deal during the 2016 elections.
Schweizer, also a senior editor-at-large at Breitbart News, posted a link to a Daily Mailstory reporting that the Senate Judiciary Committee was looking into potential “conflicts of interest” of Hillary Clinton over the deal.
Urena tweeted to Schweizer, attacking the accuracy of Schweizer’s book. Schweizer shut him down: “Ur boss hid U1 donations. Issue now w @FBI, not me. Have fun.”
Here is the whole exchange:
Urena then attacked Trump for mentioning the Uranium One deal, and retweeted quotes from a speech by former President George W. Bush delivered on Wednesday.
Earlier this week, The Hill revealed that the FBI had gathered “substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States.”
Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather evidence as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, The Hill reported.
They also obtained an eyewitness account from an American businessman and FBI informant that indicated Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S., designed to benefit former President Clinton’s charitable foundation when then-Secretary Clinton served on a committee that allowed for a controversial deal favorable to Russia to go through.

Hillary Clinton Never, Ever Leaves
In the movie What About Bob, a needy psychiatric patient, Bob Wiley, stalks his psychiatrist, Dr. Leo Marvin. Bob follows Dr. Marvin on his vacation, invades Dr. Marvin's family, shows up at dinner, spends the night, even co-opts the doctor's television interview. Everywhere Dr. Marvin turns, Bob's there. No hints, insults, or humiliation can loosen Bob's death grip on the doctor.
Dr. Marvin finally loses it and throws Bob out, tells him to never come back. He slams the door on Bob and then turns to his despondent family. They're sad that Bob is gone.
Dr. Leo Marvin: You think he's gone? He's not gone. That's the whole point! He's never gone! [Leo opens the door, and there's Bob.]
Hillary Clinton is our Bob Wiley. She stalks the American people, inserts herself in our lives at every turn. Bill Clinton tried to give us a heads-up when he campaigned, saying that by electing him, the people would get two for the price of one. Americans ignored the warning, elected Bill, and opened the door to Hillary.
Fresh off his swearing in, President Clinton announced that his wife would be his Bobby Kennedy and gave her the National Task Force on Health Care Reform. Hillary immediately went to ground, her task force cloaked in secrecy until she was sued in federal court and ordered to open the fact-finding meetings.
Hillarycare went down in flames in part because of her secret meetings. So Hillary stepped back, served out her sentence as first lady, and then went to work on her own presidential bid. First up, a Senate seat – great launching pad. She picked New York because you can't be too liberal for the Big Apple. Mao Tse-tung is not too liberal for the Big Apple.
But even in New York, Hillary couldn't win a race in her own right. She was hit with what I like to call the "Lazio effect." This phenomenon occurs whenever there's a choice between Hillary Clinton and someone else, anyone else, even a Republican, Rick Lazio, in New York, for goodness's sake. After the first debate, Lazio led in the polls, and post-debate conventional wisdom was that Lazio won.
But, again like Bob, Hillary can't or won't take a hint. Her team picked up an angle from debate tapes when Lazio crossed the stage to hand Hillary a campaign finance pledge. Lazio, much taller than Clinton, towered over her, could be seen as invading her space. The Clinton team and their media hammered the messagehome: Lazio's a sexist bully, a "creep" who "menaced" Clinton. Her dirty politics prevailed, and she won the Senate seat.
Fast-forward to the 2008 presidential election. Hillary now had senator on her résumé, had an overflowing war chest, knew all the right people (has dossiers on most of them), and was in position to be the first female president. It's a lock.
She was looking good in the primaries, ahead in the polls, but then, wham! Hillary was again broadsided by the Lazio effect – an alternative, a Hillary escape clause.
Senator Barack Obama started closing in and then took the lead. Black trumps woman any day of the week, so the super-delegates switched, and Hillary found herself staring up at bus axles.
Obama got the White House, and Hillary got a consolation prize: secretary of state (SOS). This SOS gig gave Hillary the gravitas to cinch her promised presidential win in 2016.
But then Hillary screwed up the SOS gig, arrogantly dismissed pleas from theBenghazi embassy for increased security – hell, for any security. Then, on September 11, 2012, she left those at the embassy for dead.
Hillary was not about to let the incident tarnish her political career. She blew off Benghazi – time to move on. Or, as she so brilliantly phrased it in the congressional hearing, "What difference at this point does it make?"
Finally, it was 2016, and Hillary was ready to collect. She kicked off her presidential campaign with a flurry of excitement. This was her hour, her time, and this time, no one was going to stop her.
Bam! The Lazio effect struck yet again. Hillary's rightful claim to the throne was challenged by a 70-year-old communist, Bernie Sanders, who preaches what he doesn't practice but offered enough free stuff to the snowflakes to garner an increasing number of votes. Oh, and he's not Hillary.
An unintended consequence of Bernie's popularity was that his rise highlighted the Democrats' "super-delegate" fix: the fact that the election was rigged for Hillary before the first vote was cast. And Donald Trump was out there, telling the world that poor Bernie can't win because the election's rigged.
Then, right before the Democrat convention, WikiLeaks published the bombshell that the primaries really were rigged against Bernie. Of course, that didn't change the winners and losers. The DNC shuffled personnel and shut out those who objected to the phony election, and Hillary made history as the first female presidential nominee of a major party.
Meanwhile, the media were busier than a cat covering crap on a hot tin roof trying to bury Hillary's emerging scandals: an unsecured server used for classified information, obstruction of justice and destruction of evidence with 33,000 deleted, bleached emails, hammered iPhones, other "lost" government phones and devices.
But Hillary's got friends in high places. FBI director Comey came forward to shut down the criminal stuff with a blanket acquittal of all charges.
The press continued to manage Hillary's campaign, didn't report the crime stuff, addressed health issues only once the controversy was viral on Twitter, and were pretty much able to keep a lid on the damaging stuff. Plus they were gaslighting the hell out of their viewers: "Hillary can't lose," "Polls show a Clinton landslide," "Trump's going to suffer the biggest electoral defeat in political history."
With that kind of support, what could go wrong?
Kaboom! You guessed it: the Lazio effect. Unfortunately for Hillary, there were two candidates from major parties in the running, and that second option is always a death knell for Hill's hopes.
Voters weren't scared off by the phony polls. They showed up in record-breaking numbers, stood in line for hours, and crawled over crushed glass to vote. And as the media openly wept, railed against white people, and begged someone to wake them from this nightmare, the votes were counted, and it was President Trump.
At long last, Hillary was gone. She slinked off into the woods, and people breathed a sigh of relief. Surely, she won't dare show her face in public again. The humiliation's too great, the loss too painful.
But Hillary's not capable of shame or embarrassment. No, she sprang back onto the scene with a new book, What Happened. Then she was back on TV to promote her book, to comment on every national tragedy, paint Puerto Rico as Trump's Katrina, help Democrats push gun control after the Las Vegas massacre,sanction the NFL protest to our anthem.
And now she's inserting herself in our ally's politics as well. As Nigel Farage tweeted, "Hillary Clinton is part of the global elite that want to overturn Brexit. We will resist."
Yep, it's back to the drawing board for Hillary. Brexit was the first evidence that people can still have a voice in their government. So Hillary's working to undo Britain's decision, to override the British people's will and take back globalist control.
Oh, you thought Hillary was out of the picture, that when she was defeated, humiliated in an electoral landslide, she'd be too disgraced to show her face in public? Ha!
You think she's gone? She's not gone. That's the whole point! She's never gone! [We turn on the TV, and there's Hillary.]
Timeline: The Clintons, The Russians, And Uranium
I created most of this timeline more than two years ago but with the recent revelations about Russian bribery and extortion efforts within the U.S., I thought it was time for an update. Most of the links are to articles published by the NY Times which ran several important pieces on this topic in 2015.
Late 2004: Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra creates a company to invest in uranium mining called UrAsia Energy Ltd.
June 2005: Giustra meets Bill Clinton at “a fundraiser for tsunami victims at Mr. Giustra’s Vancouver home.” The two hit it off. (Note: Newsweek reports Clinton and Giustra first met in January, not June.)
August 2005: Giustra’s company UrAsia Energy sends engineering consultants to Kazakhstan, which is home to about 20 percent of the world’s uranium supply. Kazakhstan has a repressive government with a poor human rights record and a history of unfair elections. Nursultan Nazarbayev has been its only president since 1991. A 2004 Human Rights Watch report stated, “The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the Council of Europe found that the elections ‘fell short’ of international standards, citing unbalanced election commissions and media bias favoring pro-presidential parties.”
September 6, 2005: Giustra flies former President Clinton on his private jet for stops in three nations. The stops are all part of Clinton Foundation work to grant cheaper access to AIDS drugs. The first stop on the tour, said to be “arranged hastily,” is Kazakhstan. It will be Clinton’s only post-presidential visit to the country.
Clinton then gives a news conference about his AIDS work with President Nazarbayev and afterward praises him for “opening up the social and political life of your country.” Clinton specifically praises Nazarbayev for pledges he had made weeks earlier to free and fair elections. Clinton suggested this commitment “will be quite influential in what I hope will be a successful bid to be the leader of the OSCE in 2009. I think it’s time for that to happen, it’s an important step, and I’m glad you’re willing to undertake it.” At the time Clinton made this statement, the U.S. government did not support Kazakhstan’s bid for OSCE leadership, citing “serious corruption.”
Also during their one-night stay in Kazakhstan, Frank Giustra tells President Nazarbayev he is seeking a business relationship with Kazatomprom, Kazakhstan’s state-owneduranium mining company. President Nazarbayev replies, “Very good, go to it.”
September 7, 2005: Clinton and Giustra leave Kazakhstan on Giustra’s private jet.
September 8, 2005: UrAsia Energy Ltd. signs a Memorandum of Understanding with Kazatomprom worth $450 million. The New York Times reports that UrAsia went from a second-tier shell company to leading uranium producer overnight. One uranium industry expert tells the Times the selection of UrAsia for the deal is a “mystery.”
November 11, 2005: Zamanbek Nurkadilov, a former Mayor of Almaty who joined an opposition party and threatened to publish documents proving government “high level” corruption in President Nazarbayev’s administration, is found dead. He was shot three times, twice in the chest and once in the head. The government rules his death a suicide.
December 2005: Nursultan Nazarbayev wins another 7-year term as President with 91 percent of the vote. Mr. Clinton congratulated Nazarbayev on the win in a letter which states, “Recognizing that your work has received an excellent grade is one of the most important rewards in life.”
Early 2006: Giustra makes a $31.3 million donation to the Clinton Foundation. The donation is kept secret until December 2007.
September 2006: Giustra “co-produces” former President Clinton’s star-studded 60th birthday gala, an event which eventually raises $21 million for the Clinton Foundation.
February 2007: Uranium One, a South African mining company, buys UrAsia Energy Ltd. for $3.1 billion. The head of Kazatomprom has a private, 3-hour meeting with Bill Clinton at Clinton’s New York home to discuss a forthcoming business deal arranged by Giustra. When asked about the meeting by the New York Times, Giustra denied it happened or that he arranged it. When it is pointed out that Moukhtar Dzhakishev, president of Kazatomprom, has a photo with Mr. Clinton taken inside his home during the meeting, Giustra does an about face. Similarly, a spokesman for Clinton initially denies the meeting took place, then issues a “correction” acknowledging it did.
2009: Ian Telfer, Chairman of Uranium One, donates $1 million to the Clinton Foundation through his family charity.
June 2009: Moukhtar Dzhakishev, the head of Kazatomprom, is arrested for illegally selling mining rights to foreign companies, including some given to Frank Giustra’s UrAsia (which are now owned by Uranium One). The NY Times reports “American diplomatic cables made public by WikiLeaks…reflect concerns that Mr. Dzhakishev’s arrest was part of a Russian power play for control of Kazakh uranium assets.”
June 10-11, 2009: Uranium One pressures the U.S. Embassy in Kazakhstan to clarify the situation regarding its mining rights and US officials meet with Kazakh officials on these two days to discuss it.
June 14, 2009: A subsidiary of the Russian atomic energy agency Rosatom gains a 17 percent ownership share in Uranium One.
November 2009: With the permission of the FBI, an American businessman begins making kickback payments at the direction of Vadim Mikerin, “the main Russianoverseeing Putin’s nuclear expansion inside the United States.” Between 2009 and 2012, with the approval of Rosatom, Mikerin would use bribes and extortion to compromise “American contractors in the nuclear industry.”
June 2010: Rosatom seeks a majority ownership share in Uranium One. Because Uranium One owns mining interests in several states within the US, the deal must be approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment. One agency that has to sign off on the deal is the State Department, where Hillary Clinton is Secretary of State.
2010: Ian Telfer, Chairman of Uranium One, donates $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation through his family charity. Between 2009-2012 Telfer’s charity would donate more than $2.3 million to the Clinton Foundation.
June 29,2010: The New York Times timeline notes, “Bill Clinton is paid $500,000 for a speech in Moscow by a Russian investment bank with ties to the Kremlin that assigned a buy rating to Uranium One stock.” President Putin reportedly thanked Clinton for giving the speech.
October 2010: Rosatom’s majority ownership of Uranium One is approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. The company’s most valuable assets are the mining rights originally owned by UrAsia Energy Ltd., thanks to the deal reached just one day after former President Clinton left Kazakhstan.
2011: “the administration gave approval for Rosatom’s Tenex subsidiary to sell commercial uranium to U.S. nuclear power plants in a partnership with the United States Enrichment Corp. Before then, Tenex had been limited to selling U.S. nuclear power plants reprocessed uranium recovered from dismantled Soviet nuclear weapons under the 1990s Megatons to Megawatts peace program.”
January 2013: Rosatom takes 100% control of Uranium One and takes the company private.
[End timeline]
There are obviously a lot of moving parts here, but this entire deal probably doesn’t get started without Bill Clinton and eventually proceeds with the approval of Hillary Clinton. All the while, the Clinton Foundation is taking in millions of dollars from those who benefit from the deal and Bill Clinton personally makes half a million dollars giving a speech in Moscow. And evidence that Russia was involved in a bribery and extortion scheme starting in 2009 doesn’t become public knowledge until October 2017.

Dems Double Down on Distraction to Obscure Uranium One Scandal
It is now clear to anyone who filters through all the media chaff on condolence calls that the FBI and Department of Justice allowed a criminal conspiracy to proceed, endangering national security, but enriching the Clintons, and have been covering up the evidence. The two people responsible for targeting the Special Counsel on Trump and Russia are directly responsible for the cover-up.
Yesterday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing produced plenty of video clips of Al Franken badgering Jeff Sessions, making him look off-balance. That might comfort the sensibilities of Trump haters, but it is all a phony distraction. It is now clear that real collusion with Russians did take place. Between Secretary of State Clinton’s machine and the Russians.
Greg Jarrett, a lawyer and fearless Fox News correspondent, lays out the case that racketeering laws apply to the Uranium One scandal. (Hat tip: Jim Host,Gateway Pundit)
There is much more to this clear-eyed presentation, including Jarrett’s call for Mueller and Rosenstein to resign, since they were responsible for the investigation, kept quiet and allowed it to unfold, and kept it secret. It is well worth five minutes.
The old bromide that “the cover-up is worse than the crime” derives from Watergate, a third-rate burglary, criminally. Endangering national security through racketeering could be a very serious crime indeed. But the cover-up, implicating the pinnacle of our justice and law enforcement hierarchies could be even bigger, if you think about it. When you lose the police and prosecutors, you are no longer a functioning democratic republic.
No matter how much chaff the media generates, about half the public (46%, according to a poll released today) believes the media makes up stuff about Trump. And the Truth will out.
The key figure in blowing open the Uranium One scandal is the FBI informant:
…[a] confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.
That witness is represented by Victoria Toensing, and is going to end up testifying before Senator Grassley’s committee, though there may be another fight by Dems to try to suppress the testimony. That would be foolish, only implicating them down the road when this busts open.
John Solomon reports in The Hill:
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday sought permission to interview an FBI informant who helped agents uncover a major corruption scheme by Russian nuclear officials seeking to aggressively expand their American business under the Obama administration.The undercover witness, who has not been publicly identified, spent nearly five years helping agents build a case that resulted in one of Russia's top nuclear industry officials in the United States, a Russian financier and an American trucking executive to plead guilty in 2015 to charges related to a racketeering scheme that prosecutors said involved bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering.The informant possesses information about the extent of Russian efforts to curry favor inside the United States that he has been prevented from disclosing to the courts and Congress because he signed an FBI nondisclosure statement, his lawyer Victoria Toensing told The Hill on Tuesday.The undercover witness was threatened by Justice officials when he tried to disclose some of the information in a lawsuit during last year's election, forcing him to withdraw his legal action, the lawyer alleged.
I am not schooled in the niceties of the law, but it seems to me a non-disclosure agreement under a previous attorney general can be waived by the current attorney general. Especially when the NDA covers up the original AG's potential misbehavior. But even if there is a lawsuit to be launched, it looks bad for the Dems to be covering up such a huge scandal.
This is real.
There is evidence.
AG Sessions just got his own man in place at the head of the Criminal Division of the FBI. Now, actual investigations can begin and grand juries convened, as warranted. Witnesses can be called to those grand juries and placed under oath and on the record – with no counsel on hand. Ignoring that subpoena will get you thrown in jail, not just censured. Once the records of the Clinton Foundation are in hand, the work of Charles Ortel will be of tremendous assistance to prosecutors.
The Clinton machine has gotten away with big crimes for big money for decades. China picked up access to our aerospace technology vaulting ahead its missile programs during the Bill Clinton administration, and Clinton re-election campaign entities got illegal money from Chinese sources. Some of it in paper bags.
But there is at least a chance that this time around, with a president who doesn’t play by the old rules favoring his opponents, that the wheels of justice can resume turning for the Cintons, as they are supposed to do for all of us.

Obama Admin’s Russia-Uranium Deal Gets ‘Full-Scale’ Corruption Probe from Senate Judiciary Committee
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/10/18/obama-russia-uranium-deal-corruption-probe-senate-judiciary-committee/
The Senate Judiciary Committee has begun a corruption probe investigating the Obama administration’s approval of the Uranium One deal first brought to light in Clinton Cash, the explosive book by Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President and Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer.
From The Hill:
The Senate Judiciary Committee has launched a full-scale probe into a Russian nuclear bribery case, demanding several federal agencies disclose whether they knew the FBI had uncovered the corruption before the Obama administration in 2010 approved a controversial uranium deal with Moscow.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the committee chairman, gets his first chance to raise the issue in public on Wednesday when he questions Attorney General Jeff Sessions during an oversight hearing.
Though the hearing was scheduled for other purposes, aides said they expected Grassley to ask Sessions questions about a story published in The Hill on Tuesday that disclosed the FBI had uncovered evidence showing Russian nuclear officials were engaged in a racketeering scheme involving bribes, kickbacks and money laundering designed to expand Russian President Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business on U.S. soil.
The evidence was first gathered in 2009 and 2010 but Department of Justice officials waited until 2014 to bring any charges. In between that time, President Obama’s multi-agency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) gave approval to Russia’s Rosatom to buy a Canadian mining company called Uranium One that controlled 20 percent of America’s uranium deposits.
The committee’s members at the time included former Attorney General Eric Holder and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whose husband collected large speech fees and millions in charitable donations from Russia and other entities interested in the outcome of the decision.

Schweizer on Decline in Clinton Fdn Fundraising: With Nothing to Sell, People Are Not Going to Give Money
Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Breitbart News senior editor-at-large Peter Schweizer, author of “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” discussed the Clinton Foundation’s refusal to return money embattled Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein had donated.
He also commented on lower fundraising numbers for the Clinton non-profits, which he attributed to former President Bill Clinton and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton being out of power and having nothing to offer.
“[T]hey have two arms of this — the Clinton Foundation and then, of course, the Clinton Global Initiative, CGI,” he explained. “CGI shut down after the 2016 election. It no longer exists. And that was really the central marketplace for influence peddling. Clinton Foundation has tried to position itself in a different way. They tried to amass an endowment over the last couple of years, so they probably got $150 million parked away. So, they can certainly give this money to someone else. They have it.”
“But the long-term and medium-term prospects are not good. They don’t have access to sell, as that same Chelsea Clinton review pointed out, that internal review. A lot of the high-dollar donors were expecting quid pro quos. And if you don’t have anything to sell, people are not going to give money to your organization. And that is precisely the problem the Clintons are running into.”

Hillary & Harvey: Birds of a feather...
Harvey Weinstein has been exposed in the media as the sexual predator he is, and Hillary Clinton has been exposed as the craven money-grubber she is; money over morality is the mantra she lives by.
These people, the D.C. and Hollywood elite, live by different rules, rules under which faith, hope, and love have no place, no place at all. They are about two things and two things only: power and money.
And the two species feed off each other. The entertainment industry wants and craves the deference of Democrat elites. The D.C. Democrat establishment relies on the financial magnanimity of the film and television crowd, from the studio heads to the actors. That is a lot of people with a lot of money, all of whom have an inflated view of their own importance on the world stage. None of these folks ever gives a thought to the hopes, dreams, or concerns of citizens who live between the coasts or exist outside their own privileged bubbles. They are a bother. If they voted for Trump, they are worthy only of contempt.
Harvey Weinstein allegedly has been a sexual predator for decades – at least thirty women have come forward now – while joined at the hip with the Clintons and the Obamas. These are the poster children for how this particular symbiosis functions. Not one of them ever gave a thought to the morality of how they operate. Weinstein's contract allowed for his molestations as long as he paid settlements with his own money. Who agrees to that?
These leftists "own" all of the mainstream media outlets. They can get any unflattering story squashed with a bribe. They avoid criminal charges the same way. The laws do not apply to them the way they do to the rest of us.
Consider the many, many crimes of the Clintons over their years on the public stage, from Whitewater to Travelgate, to name only a few, to Bill's sexual predations to the well documented financial corruption of the Clinton Foundation that was so fantastically enriched by Hillary's pay-to-play term as secretary of state. These people belong in prison for their crimes, as does Weinstein. He should have been prosecuted and convicted twenty years ago for his countless crimes against women. But his pals in high places and big checks kept him out of jail, just as the Clintons have escaped punishment for their thirty-year record of greed and malfeasance.
The real tragedy is that the left still reveres Bill and Hillary. They revered Weinstein until a week ago, when what they have all known for years became public. Now they are stepping over each other to condemn him – all these same film people who have championed Roman Polanski for years! Give us a break.
Harvey and Hillary are essentially clones of one another; neither has a conscience, a code of ethics, or any sense of morality. And yet they feel free to lecture the rest of us constantly. Hillary's book tour is an embarrassment of monumental proportions as she day after day blames others for her electoral loss. The progressive left's late-night comics, their news outlets (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo), their films, their television series actively promote their lack of values, their contempt for anything traditionally American. The rare exceptions to their poisonous output will be panned and mocked by the critics who work for their publications. The worst of their product is celebrated as "art."
There is a line at the end of the film Scent of a Woman, a rare contribution to the good, indeed: "Makers of men, creators of leaders, be careful what kind of leaders you're producing here." For the last fifty years or so, from Eisenhower onward, real leaders elected were few; really, only Eisenhower and Reagan. The rest have been flawed; LBJ was a Harvey Weinstein, Carter was incompetent, the Bushes were weak, the Clintons and Obama were corrupt. And make no mistake: Obama was as corrupt as they come. All of this has given us Harvey Weinstein and Hillary Clinton, two peas in a pod.
The other Americans, the normals, as Kurt Schlichter rightly calls us, the ones who elected Donald Trump, have awakened to damage done to their country and want a do-over, a reboot. The establishment of both parties is doing its best to foil his agenda, but he is hanging in there and making progress. Let us hope the mystery of the NYT's decision to expose Weinstein once and for all means the end of the Clintons and their coattails. Maybe even the NYT has had enough of this bunch, these shameless, corrupt birds of a feather.

Update – 10:16 a.m.: Weinstein Co. saved by new investor? What seemed impossible just a few minutes ago (see 9:42 a.m. update below) appears to at least be trying to happen. Colony Capital is going to pump cash in The Weinstein Company in order to save it:
Thomas J. Barrack, Jr., founder and executive chairman of Colony Capital, said in a statement, “We are pleased to invest in The Weinstein Company and to help it move forward. We believe the Company has substantial value and growth potential, and we look forward to working with the Company’s critical strategic distribution and production partners to help preserve and create value for all stakeholders, including its employees. We will help return the Company to its rightful iconic position in the independent film and television industry.”Colony has been intricately involved with Harvey and Bob Weinstein’s show business odyssey, especially its most recent chapters.
One wonders, though, how Colony will overcome a toxified brand no one wants to be seen doing business with.

However, the piece attracted some criticism, with readers accusing Bialik of implying that women may be to blame for being harassed because of the way they dress.“I have to say I was dressed non provocatively as a 12 year old when men on the street masturbated at me,” actress Patricia Arquette responded to Bialik. “It’s not clothing.”Taking to Twitter on Sunday, she explained that her words had been taken out of context by some readers.“I’m being told that my N.Y. Times piece resonated with so many and I am beyond grateful for all the feedback,” she wrote. “I also see a bunch of people have taken my words out of context of the Hollywood machine and twisted them to imply that God forbid I would blame a woman for her assault based on her clothing or behavior.”

Update – 10:07 a.m.: Piers Morgan BLASTS Kate Winslet’s hypocrisy for hitting the Weinstein Woody, Polanski trifecta:
Yet how does the same Kate Winslet square all this with the fact that has no problem at all working for both Woody Allen and Roman Polanski?Last month, Ms Winslet gave an interview to the New York Times in which she explained why she recently agreed to make Allen’s film “Wonder Wheel”.‘Here’s the catalyst,’ she said, ‘(I) probably wasn’t going to get another go-around with Woody Allen, so it’s now or never. Plus I knew my parents would be incredibly proud of me working with Woody Allen.’The Times then asked: ‘Did the allegations against Woody Allen give you pause?’‘Of course one thinks about it,’ she replied. ‘But as an actor in the film, you just have to step away and say, I don’t know anything really… having thought it all through, you put it to one side and just work with the person. Woody Allen is an incredible director.’Then, unprompted, she added: ‘So is Roman Polanski. I had an extraordinary working experience with both of those men and that’s the truth.’

Update – 10:06 a.m.: Catherine Zeta-Jones Is “Shocked and Disgusted” by Harvey Weinstein Claims
Update – 9:42 a.m.: BREAKING –> Report: Weinstein Company’s assets go up for sale…
The Weinstein Company is in negotiating period with Colony Capital for a potential sale of all or a significant portion of the Company’s assets, Bloomberg News reports.
This is almost certain to be a fire sale, a total break up of the company. TWC cannot survive in its present form. It is now a toxic brand no one will ever again have anything to do with. The Board has to go, and the assets (film library, copyrights, properties owned — franchises, characters, literary acquisitions, etc.) sold off and repackaged under a different owner and whole new name.
Update – 9:21 a.m.: Rose McGowan accuses “feminist” attorney Lisa Bloom of trying to buy her silence.
Because Bloom’s reputation and career are not already in tatters, McGowan now alleges this:
“I feel like people should know that you’ve been calling my literary agent and saying there’d be money for me if I got on the ‘Harvey’s Changed’ bandwagon,” McGowan writes. “You told her that I should care about HIS reputation. How HE has a family now and HE has changed. Well, guess what? I’ve always had a family and that didn’t stop him from assaulting me.”McGowan goes on to lay out what she claims are the details of six months of pressure from Bloom and Weinstein’s other attorney, Charles Harder, to accept the hush money. “You and your vile partner in evil … have been hounding me for months now,” McGowan claims. “Terrorizing me at every turn. Trying to silence me.”
Bloom has denied the allegations.
Update – 9:18 a.m.: HBO’s John Oliver does what the other Late Night guys refuse — scorches Weinstein AND Hollywood:
Yes, finally! The group that counts among its current members Roman Polanski, Bill Cosby, and Mel Gibson has found the one guy who treated women badly and kicked him out. So, congratulations, Hollywood! See you at the next Oscars where — and this is true — Casey Affleck will be presenting Best Actress.” Oliver said in response to the Academy booting Harvey.
Update 8:00 a.m.: Hollywood director J.J. Abrams unloaded on what he called the “viciously repulsive” Harvey Weinstein at the Hammer Museum’s Gala Sunday, calling the disgraced movie producer a “monster.”
“Someone said to me the other day that they are sick of hearing people talk about how disgusting it is,” the Star Wars: The Forces Awakens director said of the mushrooming Weinstein sexual misconduct scandal. “I don’t think enough can be said about how viciously repulsive his abuse of power was. He’s a monster. There are other monsters but there are those who fight monsters and tonight is all about those who fight monsters.”

Report: FBI Uncovers Confirmation of Hillary Clinton’s Corrupt Uranium Deal with Russia
New evidence has emerged to confirm Peter Schweizer’s account in his bestselling book Clinton Cash about the corrupt tactics behind former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s approval of Russia’s purchase of 20 percent of U.S. uranium.
John Solomon and Alison Spann report in The Hill:
Before the Obama administration approved a controversial deal in 2010 giving Moscow control of a large swath of American uranium, the FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States, according to government documents and interviews.Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.They also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by documents — indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.The racketeering scheme was conducted “with the consent of higher level officials” in Russia who “shared the proceeds” from the kickbacks, one agent declared in an affidavit years later.Rather than bring immediate charges in 2010, however, the Department of Justice (DOJ) continued investigating the matter for nearly four more years, essentially leaving the American public and Congress in the dark about Russian nuclear corruption on U.S. soil during a period when the Obama administration made two major decisions benefitting Putin’s commercial nuclear ambitions.
Read the rest here.
As Breitbart News has previously reported, Hillary Clinton’s State Department was one of eight agencies to review and sign off on the sale of U.S. uranium to Russia. However, the then-Secretary of State Clinton was the only agency head whose family foundation received $145 million in donations from multiple people connected to the uranium deal, as reported by the New York Times.

Where the Russian uranium scandal might lead
Before the Obama administration approved Russia's acquisition of more than 20 percent of America's uranium supply, the Federal Bureau of Investigation found Russian racketeering involved.
This shocking news is in a must-read investigation by reporters John Solomon and Alison Spann in The Hill on October 17.
"Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton's charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow," sources told Solomon and Spann.
But acting FBI investigators at the time – including then-U.S. attorney Rod Rosenstein and Robert Mueller, the man Rosenstein would later choose to investigate possible Russian collusion that helped Donald Trump win the 2016 election – apparently did not share this information about Russia with key members of Congress.
Solomon, Spann, and The Hill might win a Pulitzer Prize for their excellent investigative reporting...if it incriminated Republicans. But since it instead found potential wrongdoing by Democrats, the mainstream media will either ignore or find fault with it.
This investigation points to important issues it does not spell out, so we shall use it as a stepping stone to touch on three of them:
1. The new investigation clearly indicates that Mueller and Rosenstein knew of Russian millions paid to Bill and Hillary Clinton's foundation. This foundation served as a slush fund that paid for some of her political activities and subsidized her campaign staff before 2016.
This is a priori evidence of Russian influence in American politics – in the form of more than $145 million funneled by Russia to the Clintons. Ms. Clinton ran for president in 2008 and was clearly positioning herself to run again in 2016.
Yet Mueller persists in not investigating Ms. Clinton as a suspect in his fishing expedition that seeks some crime of "election collusion by Russia," yet to be found, committed only by President Trump. Can Mueller continue stonewalling after this new evidence?
2. Russia has been doing more than trying to corner the world uranium market, as China has done with rare-earths. Russia also builds reactors for others, reportedly including eight reactors it has contracted to build for Iran. Could American-supplied uranium already be part of the reactor fuel supplied to Iran for a Russian-built reactor now in operation, despite the non-proliferation spirit of the Iranian nuclear deal?
3. Has Hillary Clinton created not a "Circle of Life," but a circle of death by profiting from selling to Russia the very nuclear materials that Iran could soon turn into ICBM warheads or terrorist nuclear weapons? Will Iranian (or North Korean) nukes that come home to roost and destroy American cities have an invisible sign on them that says "Made in USA"? Is this to be the Clintons' and President Obama's legacy?
Lenin famously said the last capitalist will sell the rope with which he ends up hanged. Nobody is greedier than Hillary Clinton.

Obama's Russian collusion
The Hill’s release of information on the collusion between American corporate interests, U.S. government agencies and Russia seems to be all-new material. The text outlines the failure of the U.S. government under Obama to take account of information generated by the FBI on attempts by Russia to gain a financial advantage in the U.S. nuclear industry. “The Swamp” is reflected in the matter of Rosatom at every angle from which it can be viewed. While Rosatom has been in the news before, nothing has brought it to the level of significance seen in these primary documents and the specificity of the charges found in the text of the article. Deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein should be summarily fired, along with anyone else who touched these papers above the level of the FBI. The responsible individuals must be dragged into the court system where their actions can at the very least become part of the public record.
According to the Hill:
“Before the Obama administration approved a controversial deal in 2010 giving Moscow control of a large swath of American uranium, the FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States, according to government documents and interviews.Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.”
The article includes redacted documents with official date and time stamps. The identity of whoever leaked these documents will become an issue for those wanting to deflect attention from the article’s contents, but the shocking details ought to prevent its source(s) from becoming the center of attention.
