Looking Away

Drawn into the stream
Of undefined illusion
Those diamond dreams
They can't disguise the truth

If the mainstream media were anywhere close to 'fair and balanced,' then the story that should be making front page headlines is the report that the Clinton campaign in conjunction with the DNC funded the research that produced the infamous dossier that dubiously linked Trump to Russian-sponsored collusion in the presidential election.

Dot connectors now have more data to work with. Clinton and the DNC paid 'deep' sources in UK spy apparatus and in Russia, to dig up dirt on Trump. After the election, the FBI, via James Comey and possibly others, was instrumental in subsequently leaking the dossier to the media.

Reporters at Politico and the NYT are now claiming that Clinton/DNC officials lied about the sources of this funding for over a year.

This story continues to merge with the thread involving Clinton's possible involvement with Russia over US nuclear assets. The central story line here is that in 2010 Russia was able to obtain purchase U.S. uranium operations, with the approval of Hillary Clinton's State Department, in exchange for donations to the Clinton Foundation and possibly a $500,000 speaking engagement in Moscow by Bill Clinton.

This deliciousness of the irony not only places the Clinton front and center in 'Russian collusion,' but it also implicates the FBI's role in facilitating it.

As discussed in the WSJ, the FBI had uncovered bribery and kickback schemes associated with Russia/US nuclear business, but did not disclose this criminal activity to agencies vetting the 2010 uranium transfer until years later. The head of the FBI during that time? Robert Mueller, now the special investigator of the Trump collusion case.

One doesn't need a PhD to conclude that Mueller has the motivation and means to deflect investigation away from himself and his agency while pleasing a large portion of the political spectrum.

Yet, headlines continue to look away from the role of the Clintons and the FBI apparatus in sponsoring 'Russian collusion.'
