Clinton Asserts Putin Influence On Trump – After Taking Russian Bribes

Is Putin manipulating the Clinton campaign?

Russia is weaponizing everything: Word files, federalism, finance and Jedi mind tricks – everything is transformed into a weapon if Russia or its president Putin is imagined to come near it.

But Russia is secretly plotting even more nefarious schemes. Putin is infiltrating Europe. And not only Europe.

Putin, the President of the Russian Federation, is influencing, manipulating and controlling many "western" politicians, parties and movements – in Europe AND in the United States.

Here are, thanks to Mark Sleboda, a partial list of political entities and issue Putin secretly manipulates and controls:

Putin is indeed everywhere:

9:16 PM – 23 Jul 2016 – Billmon @billmon1

Putin strikes AGAIN! "Seventeen people hurt when Hudson River ferry hits pier in New Jersey"

And now for the crown of it all.

Putin is in cahoots with the Republican presidential candidate Trump – claims the Clinton campaign. Putin is behind, it asserts, the leak of the DNC emails which prove that the Democratic National Committee has been working against Sanders to promote Hillary Clinton. The leak of the DNC emails, says the Clinton campaign, is ..:

.. further evidence the Russian government is trying to influence the outcome of the election.

The "facts" proving Russian support for Trump are mostly lies, but Putin's nefarious intentions must still be speculated about.

The Clinton campaign has not looked thoroughly enough into Putin's schemes. Reveal we can that Putin has penetrated U.S. politics even deeper than thought – right down into the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton family itself:

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million.

That money, surely, had no influence on then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's decisions? And what about her husband?

Mr. Clinton received $500,000 … from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin

These undisputed facts demonstrate that Putin is indeed waging influence by bribing U.S. politicians. But the Clinton campaign is be a bit more hesitant in pointing these out.

Addendum #100;
I do in fact think a nuclear exchange is not only possible, but on this present course, very, very likely.
These fools and buffoons, running things in the west, are quite insane…

99;The American people hate the MSM,and their total support for the HB will end up costing her big time.
Never have so few (Zion)affected so many(world)negatively.
And I think Trump will have to save them from the madness of their id,by making them make peace.
And they’ll love him then,as a mensch.

And why is the MSM turning a blind eye to the fact that Hillary helped the Russians purchase a huge stockpile of uranium from the US?

20% of US production of uranium means roughly 0.7% of the world production. Somewhat surprisingly, 41% of the world production is in Kazakhstan, Russia and Uzbekistan provide nearly 10%, and among other countries the largest producers are Canada, Australia and Niger (production controlled by France). Mining companies have a habit of buying similar facilities around the world, e.g .Westinghouse has a partnership with the state owned uranium producer in Kazakhstan. To summarize, “US uranium stockpile” is a total non-issue.

You missed my point, Piotr. Hillary has mentioned on several occasions that Russia is an existential threat to the West. If she really believes that, why would she sign off on this uranium sale to Russia, or any uranium sale to Russia, for that matter, regardless of size? She’s either lying about Russia being a threat to us, or she doesn’t care about our safety as a country. Either way, she is a globalist with a globalist agenda. National security be damned.

Cynthia, I have no idea what “globalist agenda” is. I argued that ownership of minor uranium companies has no relationship to national security.
Of course, Russia does represent a certain threat. Domestic tranquility in Europe, and even during Democratic Convention, is disturbed because of their meddling. Perhaps with another properly timed leak Hillary can be reduced to tears and resign in favor of leak resistant Bernie, thus depriving USA of the only security-vigilant candidate still in the race for presidency. (Is L in HILLARY like an X chromosome, you need two to be a female?).
Back to agendas. One can propose that “globalist agenda” is trading favors with anyone anywhere, and security agenda is finding ways for politicians to be wise and important, doing some necessary stuff for the nation that nobody wants to know in details (except for traitors who want to uncover those details). “Security issues” are much more dignified than, say, banking regulations or insurance regulations. But those are not uranium stocks! Those are thing like reassuring our allies who would otherwise succumb to timidity and “Finlandization”. Fighting for the rights of people, like the right of Kosovars to secede from Serbia or Crimeans to be spared secession from Ukraine and brainwashing applied by mignons of Putin. Praising only those tyrants who love America (especially with royal titles). Etc.
Corrections: not mignons but minions, and the meaning of “minions” is explained in Wikipedia: “Minions are small, yellow creatures who have existed since the beginning of time, evolving from single-celled organisms into beings who exist only to serve history’s most despicable masters.” Clearly, a security threat.

On the other hand, I nave to be in the mood to enjoy filet mignon, but I’d crawl over broken glass any day of the week to catch a glimpse of a few dozen filleted minions.

11;As a lifelong fisherman,my last recollection of Jewish fishermen was 2000 years ago,on the Sea of Galilee.
Maybe a walk in the woods will soothe his soul.
All I know is that Trump is being attacked by Zion every day,and any rational human would remember such treatment once elected POTUS.
Ah,hubris,the threat of retaliation never enter the minds of those so infected.
And the fact that Israel affects our govt every day in every way,makes any Putin accusation laughable idiocy.

The Putin smear is overwhelmed by the problem that Crooked Hillary is the Neocon’s Manichean Candidate.

I didn’t see the film in 1966 but I downloaded it and watched it just now, 50 years later. I recommend it as absurdist relief, The Russians are coming (1966). It ought to be reissued. It might bring some sanity to all the people apparently losing theirs in the USofA and take the wind out of the neo-cons’ sails.
