It seems that large amounts of money can be funneled to the Clintons from Russia, but God forbid Trump's people even make a phone call to Russia.

We seem to have a double standard.

The Clintons were personally paid by a Russians bank with links to the Kremlin. It seems millions were also
funneled to the Clinton Foundation as a result of a deal that sold 20% of the US uranium supply to Russia.

Why didn't the democrats demand that there be an investigation, and that Hillary step down from the State department?

I think if we want an investigation into Trump's administration over some phone calls, we should also open an investigation into the Clintons for their deal with Russia that funneled millions to the Clintons.

I mean that would only be fair, right?



Cash Flowed to the Clintons Amid Russian Uranium Deal



The untold story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one.

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. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.

You know the Trump supporters are beginning to panic when they have to drag out stuff from last year's election.

Great, lets investigate EVERYONE from the President and down and the Clintons too. I support that 100%

People on the right continue to foolishly think this about Trump vs Hillary-NO. THIS IS ABOUT AMERICA and preserving our sovreignty against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC.

Are you more loyal to Donald Trump than to the country itself?

Yes, lets do it.

I have confidence that Trump's team didn't do anything illegal by contacting Russia.

The Clintons wouldn't survive an investigation for pay for play.

Can you point me to the thread where you were saying "NO. THIS IS ABOUT AMERICA and preserving our sovreignty against all enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC" when discussing the Russian uranium deal?

You have it exactly backwards. The Clinton Foundation is a legitimate charity; and there has never been a single instance of actual pay for play proven. Yes, some of the donors got access -- but access is not the same as quid pro quo actions. The "play" part never happened.

Trump, Manafort, Page and Tillerson is the real "pay for play" with a massive conflict of interest. These guys can't wait to lift the sanctions to activate massive oil contracts for Tillerson's Exxon. The unfolding Trump conspiracy to commit massive corruption is far larger than anything Clinton has ever done.

That's rich coming from someone calling for the secession of California. The only thing between you and a traitorous agitator is your fecklessness.

The problem is that the Clintons were personally paid by a Russian bank with links to the Kremlin, after Hillary approved the uranium deal.

The Clintons were personally paid by a number of groups that recieved favorable action by Hillary at the State Department.

You dems seem to ignore that fact.
