Fox News host Sean Hannity ranted on Twitter Friday night after a CNN report said special counsel Robert Mueller had filed charges in his investigation. Hannity charged Mueller and media were working "hand in hand." Fox News host Sean Hannity on Friday railed against the media for its coverage of special counsel Robert Mueller reportedly filing the first charges in his investigation into Russian election interference. "Guess;Mueller and Media working hand in hand," Hannity tweeted . "Media to be tipped off. Mueller was FBI Director Who knew of Russian crimes before Uranium one." Hannity and Fox News have devoted extensive coverage this week to the deal involving "Uranium One,"the company that was partly sold to the Russian government in 2010. While Republicans have claimed that it compromised national security, Democrats have called the resurgence of the story a distraction to Mueller's intensifying investigation. The network's coverage of the scandal comes amid Mueller's razor focus on the probe - which was rumored to have been intensifying after he assembled a team of well-established prosecutors - and President Donald Trump's claims that the event was comparable to the Watergate scandal. "I think the uranium sale to Russia and the way that it was done, so underhanded with tremendous amounts of money being passed, I actually think that's Watergate, modern-age," Trump said Wednesday. "Left needs a dramatic change in the narrative!! Uranium One, Fusion GPS dossier, all out this week," Hannity continued tweeting , referring to intelligence firm's infamous dossier that contained incriminating allegations on Trump. "This is a distraction! TICK TOCK...." "This has been a HORRIBLE week for Mueller, Special Counsel's office," Hannity continued . "THIS IS ALL A DISTRACTION. Monday I'll have the details. TICK TOCK....!" Mueller filed the first charges in the Russia investigation, approved by a federal grand jury in Washington, DC, CNN reported Friday evening. The charges are reportedly sealed but could result in an arrest as soon as Monday, CNN reported, citing sources briefed on the matter. http://www.businessinsider.com/sean-hannity-twitter-robert-mueller-fox-news-2017-10
This is what Fox News is going with LMFAO Pressure by who? Why the fuck would Mueller resign because dossier 'scandal'??????
"yet allowed a deal to go through giving Moscow control of one-fifth of America’s uranium" The way Cons keep solemnly reciting this factoid as if it matters is a caution. "One-fifth of America's uranium" amounts to 0.4% of the world's production. The stuff can be obtained without the slightest trouble on global commodity markets, Russia has two and a half times the reserves of the US, and in fact was exporting uranium to America in 2010. Now tell us why on earth the Russians would bother trying to get control of a little bit of America's production, let alone pay more than $100 million in bribes for the privilege.
Uranium Production in the World by Country Which country had the most uranium production in the world in 2016? Kazakhstan topped the list, followed by Canada and Australia. https://investingnews.com/daily/res...ranium-investing/uranium-producing-countries/ The U.S. is 9th.
Exactly, Russians bought the Canadian company for their mines in Kazakhstan, not for paltry US uranium which can't be exported anyway. But logic doesn't matter Don’t forget “Trump collusion isn’t a crime but Clinton collusion is obviously treason”. And my favourite, “why don’t Democrats want to be friends with Russia, Clinton is a traitor because she was friendly with Russia”. They’re beyond reason. It’s not about logic and evidence, it’s all about how they feel.
More on the uranium BS “I have to say that this is one of those things where reasonable people cannot disagree: There just aren’t two sides,” said Jeffrey Lewis, an expert on nuclear materials and nonproliferation at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California. According to the conspiracy theory, Clinton received money from several people affiliated with the uranium mine deal, and then pushed the CFIUS to approve it in return. The problem is, that’s not how CFIUS works. Clinton’s vote would have been only one of nine, as the reviews are run by the Treasury Department and other Cabinet secretaries get to weigh in. “The secretary of state is one, and frankly not usually a very powerful, member of the committee,” said Steve Grundman, a fellow at the Atlantic Council who dealt with CFIUS reviews while serving in the Pentagon in the 1990s. “You have to remember with CFIUS, the first letter stands for the committee.” Also, Cabinet secretaries almost never deal with the committee themselves, instead delegating to underlings. For Clinton, that delegate was the assistant secretary of state for economic and business affairs, Jose Fernandez. “Secretary Clinton never intervened with me on any CFIUS matter,” Fernandez toldTime in 2015. Two former State Department officials who served under Clinton told Newsweek that Clinton would have been notified of a CFIUS decision only if there were disagreement among members of the committee, which would push a final decision to the president. The CFIUS decision on the Uranium One deal, however, was unanimous—all nine representatives agreed to approve it. According to the experts, even if Clinton had somehow managed to tilt the CFIUS decision in favor of Russian buyers, it wouldn’t matter: The mine isn’t very important. The Russian-owned company does not have a license to export the uranium, and the actual mining process is not sensitive at all. “It’s just a mine,” Lewis said. “There’s no technology that’s special. There’s no shortage of uranium around the world.” Lewis said that even if he were asked to review the sale today, his security assessment would not change. “We might refuse it to be bloody minded because we wouldn’t want to engage in any economic action, but it’s not a national security issue,” he said. “The uranium, it’s harmless.” http://www.newsweek.com/hillary-clinton-uranium-conspiracy-theory-distraction-trump-russia-694525
Low in imagination, poor at self-detecting error in their cognition and immediately emotionally reactive/disgusted. The stimulus processing differences between the far left and right brains have been well observed under fMRI. There really is a "red" and "blue" brain. However there is another layer, the team fan effect that seems present in both types of mind. I guess the recent example of this is "deflategate" and this applied directly to lib and con teams. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...df2002b86a0_story.html?utm_term=.91d2478c198c
The republicans market themselves to the lowest socioeconomic classes, with least education and likely least critical thinking skill. At that level the best aim is to use emotive and over the top language, rhetoric etc. Here's a nice summary of their Uranium one conspiracy " Okay so basically what happened is during the Bush presidency the Canadian founder and former of a mining company that owned mines all over the world gave Bill Clinton some money for his library. Then, many years later, the Russian government bought that mining company to buy the uranium mines in Kazakhstan (former Soviet Republic). The mining company also owned some mines in the US and so the US government had to sign off on the deal for strategic reasons. They agreed to allow it under the condition that no US export license would be given to the company, ie they could own mines in the US, but they couldn't take the ore. The theory is that the Canadian ex owner of the company donated to the library fund because he knew that many years later the wife of the guy whose library fund he was donating to would become Secretary of State and he wanted to bribe her to guarantee the sale of a company he had no stake in a country he had no links to. Hillary obviously accepted the library fund donation because she's corrupt. She then used her powers of corruption to convince the nine different departments signing off on the deal (it wasn't actually up to her) to approve it, even though they hadn't received their own library fund bribes multiple years before taking office. With the Canadian having secured the Russian supply of uranium the secrets of the atomic bomb were soon unlocked, leading to the first Soviet atomic test in 1949. Russia got the atomic bomb, the corrupt US officials got a donation to someone else's library fund, the Canadian got some poutine. It was the perfect crime."
These idiots are going to get someone killed. Not like cop shooters or Nazis running people over haven't been pushed there by their types already.
