Now my religion consists of a few basic assumptions (which are always up for debate) and a lot of open-mindedness. Some of my best friends are still in the movement, so I have nothing against individuals, but the application of religious hyperliteralism to public policy is something I absolutely oppose as a former member.

Yet Trump is still behind in the polls? And Crooked Hillary is still walking (with assistance)
around free.

Actually reading e-mails and copy and pasting them, must be crazy!

The only nutso thing has been the Scalia theory.

If all this in depth detective work is so cut and dried and putting all these nails in Killary's coffin, why is she not in jail?

Did you miss this pretty big story in the past week?



FBI agents dismayed by failure to charge Clinton

The decision to let Hillary Clinton off the hook for mishandling classified information has roiled the FBI and Department of Justice, with one person closely involved in the year-long probe telling FoxNews.com that career agents and attorneys on the case unanimously believed the Democratic presidential nominee should have been charged.

The source, who spoke to FoxNews.com on the condition of anonymity, said FBI Director James Comey’s dramatic July 5 announcement that he would not recommend to the Attorney General’s office that the former secretary of state be charged left members of the investigative team dismayed and disgusted. More than 100 FBI agents and analysts worked around the clock with six attorneys from the DOJ’s National Security Division, Counter Espionage Section, to investigate the case.

As for the Podesta leaks lying on your stances, insulting both friends and foe, and apparently rigging the nomination followed by things such as fake craiglist ads doesn't put you in jail. It should ruin your reputation if covered correctly and that's where the anger comes from that you're calling a conspiracy theory. Could have swore it was you that posted the 0 minutes of coverage on certain days by major networks.

Wikileaks is a joke if you ask me. It's just a narc site. No one likes a narc, especially an entire website dedicated to narcing.

Uranium 1 Deal

https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/286

Edit 1:

On April 23, The New York Times reported on details regarding the Clinton Foundation’s ties to a number of investors involved in a business transaction that resulted in the acquisition of Uranium One, owner of U.S. based uranium assets, by Atomredmetzoloto (ARMZ), a subsidiary of Rosatom, a Russian government owned company. The transaction raised a number of national security concerns because it effectively ceded 20% of U.S. uranium production capacity to the Russian government
Edit 2:

... during critical stages of the acquisition approval, interested parties made large donations – some in the millions of dollars – to the Clinton Foundation while Ms. Hillary Clinton held the position of Secretary of State
Edit 3: IMPORTANT READ

Mr. Frank Giustra won a uranium deal in Kazakhstan for UrAsia, his company at the time.The deal was cut days after he visited the country with President Bill Clinton and after that deal in 2006, Mr. Giustra donated $31.3 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Edit 4: Down the Fox hole that I thought reality works

The risk of conflicts with Secretary Clinton at State was so great that the Clinton Foundation and the Obama Administration entered into a memorandum of understanding which, in part, required donations to be disclosed. However, millions of dollars in donations to the Clinton Foundation from executives with an interest in the Uranium One/ARMZ transaction were not disclosed, breaching the agreement

Accordingly, please answer the following:

What role did the Department of Justice play in the Uranium One/ARMZ transaction? Please explain in detail.
Please list the Department of Justice personnel that were involved in the Uranium One/ARMZ transaction.
Did Secretary Clinton’s relationship with the Clinton Foundation require her to recuse herself from the CFIUS’s review of the Uranium One/ARMZ transaction? If so, did she recuse herself? If the relationship did not require recusal, please explain why not.
Was Attorney General Holder briefed by Department of Justice personnel regarding the Uranium One/ARMZ transaction? If so, by whom and how many times? If not, why not?

You can't blame the left when they are no suspects and they don't know who did it. Could it turn out to be liberals who did it? Yes it could. But it could also be a "CONSPIRACY" by the Republicans who are trailing in NC to fire bomb their own headquarters hoping to get some sympathy votes.

Yeah, I'd much rather have everything swept under the rug. Nothing to see here. Openness and accountability is bad...

Maybe Trump did it himself since the MSM thinks he has such a bad temperament?

For those paying attention, Wikileaks just tweeted out three pre-commitment hashes; something they would only do if they had a monster of a file coming out shortly.

Who doesn't love the '16 Election?!

It does make me wonder what they really have on Hillary and when they will drop the big one if exists.

I am loving it. Glad the corruption is being exposed.

Rough days ahead for John Kerry

[oldgoldy97]

I surfed some of the acccredited/corrupt news sites and these Wikileaks weren't really that prominently displayed. What are some of these fringe, far right/truthful sites that I should be looking at?

Google reddit podesta and the number of the leak you want to see. 1-9 have been released.

Example: reddit podesta 7

If they have Kerry's emails there could be a ton of smoking guns from what he and the POTUS and others were scheming about while they were trying to cover up the Benghazi email stuff this past year.

[sonnyday]

What are the odds that the group who stole the emails made some adjustments to them?

Obviously whoever stole the emails has an agenda, why wouldn't they change them?

Maybe Clinton could defend herself with the real copies of the emails. It would be sad to see her unfairly accused....

[tke1600]

Rumors are that the US is on the door step of getting Asange from the Embassy, so something big might go down tonight.

Is it possible to the emails were fabricated by the organization that stole them? How do you produce originals of fake items?

If someone a Russian thug stole your car. Would you let him watch your kids?

Not sure why no one is questioning the authenticity or ethics of a group that steals.

Wikileaks has never been into the "smear" business. They do the simple job of exposing government corruption as it is. It's clear that Hillarys camp knew these were real, hence the immediate blame on Russia and not a single denial yet of authenticity in weeks now.

Assange is a criminal who belongs behind bars, now people are believing everything this guy shovels out. Huge error in judgement.
