Bet you this holds up and that you'll be left standing holding nothing, just as you have been from every one of your other posts from disreputable sources making unsupportable allegations.

And Burke did work for Trump, not Clinton.

Apparently where the Uranium One “scandal” is concerned, those who are convinced the sale was approved solely due to tens of millions of dollars in pay-for-play donations to the Clinton Foundation are far more inclined to believe the outraged opinions of Fox News pundits Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity et al. than they are the banal pedestrian reporting of Fox News newscaster Shepard Smith: Uranium One controversy explained.

12/18/18 update from the New York Times:


After The Daily Caller first reported the raid on Mr. Cain, conservative websites piled on, arguing that it showed a deep-state cabal in control of the F.B.I. Donald Trump Jr. linked on Twitter to another Daily Caller story about the raid. And Mr. Cain joined in last week: “So I blow the whistle on the FBI, get raided by the same FBI, and now they want to keep the FBI’s reasons secret?” he wrote in a since-deleted Twitter post. “Do we now live in a secret police state? Feels a little like ‘1984.’”

A reporter for The Daily Caller wrote in an email last week sent to congressional aides, right-wing figures and others that prosecutors were engaged in a “cover-up for the F.B.I.” The reporter, Richard Pollock, added: “Eventually, justice will be done.”

The F.B.I. declined to comment.

The inspector general delivered the documents to the congressional intelligence committees, a person familiar with the case said.

The Senate Intelligence Committee received documents they believed to be from Mr. Cain but deemed them meaningless, according to a committee official. The committee has decided not to interview Mr. Cain; Republicans and Democrats on the panel had already concluded they had no compelling reason to scrutinize the uranium deal .

Still, Senator Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, has demanded that the inspector general provide him copies of Mr. Cain’s documents and asked the F.B.I. about the raid.

And some organizations, including left-leaning groups, have criticized the raid, saying Mr. Cain should have enjoyed whistle-blower protections. Mr. Cain and his lawyer say they followed federal whistle-blower rules.

But by bringing the documents home, Mr. Cain violated those rules and lost his legal protections, experts said. “The rules must be followed,” said Mark S. Zaid, a national security lawyer who has represented whistle-blowers. “It is a very simple and straightforward concept.”

It would thus appear that Cain violated the rules protecting whistleblowers by bringing home (to a presumably insecure location) classified documents. Hence the F.B.I. raid.

In any case the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee appears to be in possession of these same documents and, if they’re as explosive as Cain claims they are, Committee Republicans are free to look into whatever damning evidence they reveal.

I’m not holding my breath.
