Remember the infamous Trump-Russia dossier story where a narrative appeared as if out of thin air from an investigative reporter who had done research on Trump and had uncovered detrimental information about the president’s trip to Moscow?
It was an explosive story for about all of three minutes. Trump had traveled to Russia and was involved in all sorts of deviant activities with prostitutes and behavior that seemed something bordering on “complete fantasy” when one imagined the 70-year old Trump.
As it turns out, the story was in fact “complete fantasy” and later, when it was additionally discovered that John McCain himself had been one of the main players in this rotten story, Trump supporters breathed a collective sigh of relief that the story had merely been concocted in order to do the highest political damage to the new president.
For his part, McCain waved off the controversy in a stuttering attempt to make it seem as if he was just doing his God-given civic duty by passing on what he assumed was “significant” information regarding a breach in protocol of a government official.
That whole episode seemed to have been quickly and quietly swept under the rug, disappearing like a phantom in a graveyard.
It hasn’t exactly vanished into thin air.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is apparently very busy these days. Not only are they dealing with an on-going scandal relating to a former Senator, one of their own, being involved to some degree in a very strange case of Russian interference in the passage of a Congressional bill, but they are still attempting to get to the bottom of the whole Trump-Russian dossier case.
Senator Charles Grassley, Chairman of the Committee, has been attempting to put together a proper line of questioning regarding the dossier subject matter in order to draw some conclusions about its origins. The Senator would like some answers as to why this story ever got as far as it did in the first place.
In so doing, he has produced a series of letters to departments within the U.S. government, including the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), the Department of Justice, the Counterintelligence Division of the National Security Office, and several non-governmental entities.
In essence, the most important and explosive question is this: How did one of the most adept investigative bodies on the entire planet somehow get duped into initially accepting a series of documents and then, treating said documents with such perceived importance, only to later conclusively dismiss the fraudulent materials with cavalier disregard?
In other words, how did you, FBI Director, get taken to the toolshed in this case when the documents’ validity appeared to be so weak and disjointed as to be immediately red-flagged by even the most junior of sleuths?
Read on for the marrow in these bones.
looking forward to pt 2

I can’t “promise that it will be difficult to handle” because the whole point of delving into the details is that people understand the subject matter. It’s important for Americans to hear the truth by having the sunlight glaring upon the lies. After all, that is the best antiseptic, isn’t it?
Poor orange snowflake all tied up with his boyfriend and Russia
You mean the Fan Fiction?
Oh Eric no Hillary would not like that comment ! To Russia with love is her story, Putin wowed her enough to sell them 25 percent of our uranium, and they paid her and billy boy well… do your research babe!
Yes I know I hope he uses it and it’s the tower first and then the golf course certainly wouldn’t lose any brains over the deal
Trump and his campaign claim that Clinton “gave” or “handed over” 20 percent of American uranium rights to the Russians. Through the Uranium One deal, the Russian state-owned nuclear energy company does now have control over 20 percent of U.S. uranium extraction capacity. But it cannot export the uranium.
In 2010, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States approved the sale of the majority of the shares to the Russians. The State Department was one of nine agencies on the committee that approved the deal. The deal was also separately approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
There is no evidence Clinton herself got involved in the deal personally, and it is highly questionable that this deal even rose to the level of the secretary of state. Theoretically, as Schweizer says, Clinton could have intervened. But even then, it ultimately would have been Obama’s decision whether to suspend or block the deal.
We wavered between Three and Four Pinocchios. Trump so often uses broad-brushed language that pushes him into Four Pinocchio territory, and this is yet another one of those cases. He specifically names Hillary Clinton as the active agent in the Uranium One deal, saying she “gave them” or “handed over” uranium to the Russians, but that is not the case. Then, he further claimed the sale went forward in exchange “for a big payment.” There’s no evidence for that claim either.
Eric L Runion yesss someone with brains and research under his posts. The New York Times ( very liberal did one of best pieces of that deal!! And they even showed the paper trail .. sooooo it’s not our own research ( deplorables) but read The NY Times . Finally balanced coverage. Yesssssss!
The Clinton foundation had a 140 million donation given to them for that deal. It’s called pay for play.
