A strong narrative has picked up steam since Donald Trump assumed office as the president of the United States. It became obvious whether it is the elected people who really have more powers or the power lies somewhere within the corridors of government. There is apparently a tug of war to control the US government. The administration of Trump has been under a relentless assault by ‘the deep state‘, and at this point, there is no clear idea who will emerge as the victor.

The term deep state is frequently used as a synonym for the intelligence community, but in actuality, it has a much broader significance. In the backdrop of the United States, the deep state is generally discussed as a ‘conspiracy theory’. The theory explains the existence of a ‘shadowy’ government that conspires to thwart the agenda of the president. The deep state, which normally builds a fourth branch of government that is in several ways autonomous from the executive branch of governance, combines two most important dimensions-collusion and obstruction of justice.

The deep state is the real government that exists beneath the surface, no matter who the president is or which politicians are at the forefront. The deep state is the massive bureaucracy that runs much of the day-to-day power. There are hundreds of thousands of people working at places like the Department of Defence, NSA, FBI and CIA. There are also private contractors who perform a great deal of work for these departments and their agencies.

Whether Republicans are prepared to expose some of the stuff, like the giant Schiff show, there wasn’t much opportunity for Republicans to get another viewpoint; yet amazingly, a lot of the truth came out with Ambassador Sondland saying there was no quid pro quo.

Lindsey Graham is launching an investigation into what Hunter Biden is up to. There have been reports that the whistleblower and the staff member for Adam Schiff already knew each other, and they have worked together at the NSC; this has happened at a peculiar time. The whistleblower has met with a friend and filed a report. What does it really indicate and are the reports true?

The deep state and the Democrats are strenuously working to unseat the president. This came up as no surprise at all. It has been going on since the president got elected. When the Democrats took control of the House, they had six committees investigating the president to impeach him.

We regularly see people, in different capacities, who have a political motive, which isnot good for America’s democracy. Some of the Schiff staffers used to work in a think tank funded by a Ukrainian company. The Burisma Group is the largest independent natural gas producer based in Ukraine. The company is mainly engaged in oil and gas exploration and production. Biden’s role at the Burisma Holdings Ltd has come under intense scrutiny as he was a paid board member of the company in April 2014. Burisma was backing the think tank.

People working in think tanks that are backed by foreign entities and foreign companies turn out favourable reports that would put those entities and companies in a better position, whereas it is the country that should be in a better position. People must be brought to testify and asked relevant questions, especially Schiff’s staff. All of the underlying things, the American people deserve to have the answers to. There are some high level actors in the DOJ using partisan investigations that were illegally getting subpoenas and search warrants to spy on the Trump campaign. Justice finds its way to ascertain what was going on at the highest levels of the DOJ.

Fox Business host Lou Hobbs talked to the author of Clinton Cash, Peter Schweizer, and tore the lid off of what may be the biggest scandal in American history. They have extensively discussed the Uranium One scandal that involves the entire deep state ‘criminal network’.

The Uranium One deal was strategically important for Vladimir Putin. His focus was to expand Russia’s share of the nuclear energy industry, not only in the United States but also around the world. Currently, Russia owns 60 percent of the global market in nuclear power plants, and the United States imports 90 percent of its nuclear fuel. How could such a deal ever be approved?

It is hard for people to understand why give up, for any reason and any price, 20 percent of the uranium of the US to hand over to some other country. The question is still unanswered. Secondly, who has taken into account $145 million that went into the Clinton Foundation? The committees that consist of agencies, departments, and individuals responsible for national security raised these questions.

It is the biggest Obama scandal and may turn out to be the biggest scandal in American political history. Reports revealed that the Obama administration approved the controversial deal in 2010, giving Russia 20 percent of America’s uranium. The FBI has gathered substantial evidence of Russian involvement in the case. The investigations revealed that the Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering in order to benefit Putin.

The report discovered that US attorney, Rod Jay Rosenstein, now serving as Trump’s Deputy Attorney General, and the then assistant director FBI, Andrew McCabe, who is now serving as Trump’s deputy FBI director, supervised the investigation.

Robert Swan Mueller served as the sixth director of FBI, from August 2001 to September 2013, and then James Brien Comey became the seventh director of FBI, from 2013 to his dismissal in May 2017. They both share the same responsibilities of collusion with Russia and obstruction of justice; they were referred to as the part of the ‘Russian Scam’. The case began in 2009 and concluded in 2015.

In open court, Campbell was identified as an FBI informant by prosecutors; his lawyer, Victoria Toensing, unveiled in a statement that her client “is not only afraid of the Russian people, but he is afraid of the US government because of the threats the Obama administration made against him.” According to documents acquired by Circa News, “The bribery schemes included delivering thousands of dollars in yellow envelopes, laundering tens of thousands of dollars in briefcases or wiring thousands of dollars through shell companies through the Seychelles’ Islands, Latvia, Cyprus and Switzerland to name a few.”

The FBI informant was under a gag in the Russian corruption case. Toensing informed that the informant was blocked by the Obama Justice Department, under Attorney General Loretta Lynch, from testifying before the Congressional hearing.

It is ridiculous that the mainstream media continues to only report on anything negative they can find about President Trump when there was clearly so much illegal activity going on from when Obama was in office.

Currently, Russia owns 60 percent of the global market in nuclear power plants, and the United States imports 90 percent of its nuclear fuel. How could such a deal ever be approved?

The acting CEO of the Clinton Foundation made some clarifications and pointed out some mistakes and errors. That government grants were mistakenly combined with other donations. The grants have always been properly listed and available for anyone to see on their audited financial statements. The statement was refuted on the grounds that Bloomberg and The Washington Post reported that 1,100 donations that ended up at the Clinton Foundation were never disclosed. It is part of the memorandum of understanding with the Obama transition team that they would disclose all donations, including donations going to the Clinton Juicer entities. The clarification statement is erroneous.

Bloomberg made it clear that the foundation had 1,100 donations that had never been disclosed. It was a simple requirement that President Obama put in place as a condition for Hillary Clinton to be appointed as secretary of state; it is akin to an infamous form of insider trading. Most people who engage in insider trading buy or sell stock with information that is not readily available to the public. The favours given to the Clinton Foundation-ifyou look at the quantity of money, the amount of money, the sources of money, and the timing of beneficial policy actions-are extremely troubling.

There are not one or two or three examples, there are about dozens of examples and policy decisions that benefited those who provided the funds. The Clinton position is that they are all just massive coincidences. Hillary Clinton says that there is an influx of large amounts of money, tens of millions, and sometimes, more than a hundred million dollars from an interested party; then she reverses course, and she takes a position 180 degrees from the onethat she had previously taken. She said, “…in the Uranium One situation, I wasn’t even involved directly. I think this is about a small uranium company in Canada that the Russian government wants to purchase; you have major shareholders who are giving a hundred and forty-five million to the Clinton Foundation and sponsoring speeches.”

This is an excerpt from the transcript of the interview of William Douglas Campbell who worked as a counter-intelligence operative to Russia. He was the first-hand FBI informant about Uranium One. He worked as an operative for multiple agencies for thirty years, and was involved in a Putin and Russian operation of the United States in 2009. Campbell was under a formal contract and was an associate partner with the Russian government and its senior Russian nuclear relationship that worked with Putin. Campbell served his country for thirty years and in dangerous situations, at times even in life-threatening conditions. The Russians were infiltrated in the United States of America. He clearly became aware that Russia wanted to get a foothold in the uranium industry and was looking at Uranium One. That deal was going to give them that foothold if it would have been approved by nine government agencies. Quite surprisingly, no questions were raised, and the FBI was fully aware of the massive episode.

The Uranium One position was the part of a long-term strategy of Russians. Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and Barack Obama was the president of the United States of America. Was it a specific Clintons’ strategy to get her onboard or an Obama strategy? The Russian and the United States’ conspirators state that the Clintons were implicated. That was not the focus of what Campbell was assigned to do. He didn’t believe until the Uranium One approval actually happened that the indications from the Russians were solid about the Clinton influence and Clintons influencing that decision.

The Russians were overwhelmingly confident that both Obama and Clinton would sign off on the deal. They were quite sure that Obama and the administration that they had deemed and labelled as being very weak multiple times would respond favourably.

Gregg Jarrett, Fox legal analyst and author of the book, The Russia Hoax, reveals how the persons within the FBI and the Obama administration, were at the heart of the problem. It begins with Hillary Clinton who broke a myriad of felony statutes and should have been charged in a multi-count indictment. But James Comey and his band of minions decided that even though she broke the law, they were going to clear her name from the allegations. Hence they twisted the facts, they contorted the law, and they cleared the thorny path. Comey fabricated the anti-Trump dossier.

Both the Department of Justice and the FBI have conspired, butthere is no evidence of collusion. The president was contemplating lifting the clearances of those six nefarious deep state folks and leftist Democrats. They deserve to be punished. Have you ever heard that the head of CIA or the director of the national intelligence agency or NSA or FBI – until Comey – actually threatening to oust the president?

The possible explanation about the deal and any reasonable explanation are hard to accept; Americans would have to hand over uranium when the nation doesn’t have enough. Mueller who was overseeing the whole operation must candidly tell the truth to the Congress, and Congress must take actions to stop the deal. It was sheer frustration for the people, how politics works.

This is an epic phenomenon, and indeed a most spectacular failure. What is the conclusion of this story? What is the possible motivation for people not to do their job at a very high level although it was a key element to America’s national security? This was entirely an action-packed political melodrama, and they believed that Hillary Clinton would be elected as president. Regrettably, they turned their backs on the country and were not transparent and honest to the American people.
