An FBI informant connected to the Uranium One controversy told three congressional committees in written testimony that Moscow routed millions of dollars to America with the expectation it would be used to benefit Bill Clinton‘s charitable efforts while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton quarterbacked a “reset” in US-Russian relations.
The informant, Douglas Campbell, said in the testimony obtained by The Hill that he was told by Russian nuclear executives that Moscow had hired the American lobbying firm APCO Worldwide specifically because it was in position to influence the Obama administration, and more specifically Hillary Clinton.
Democrats have cast doubt on Campbell’s credibility, setting the stage for a battle with Republicans over his testimony.
Campbell said Russian nuclear officials “told me at various times that they expected APCO to apply a portion of the $3 million annual lobbying fee it was receiving from the Russians to provide in-kind support for the Clinton’s Global Initiative,” he added in the testimony.

From The Hill article:
“Nick Merrill, a spokesman for Clinton, said Campbell’s testimony is simply being used to distract from the investigations into President Trump and Russia.
‘Just yesterday the committee made clear that this secret informant charade was just that, a charade. Along with the widely debunked text-message-gate and Nunes’ embarrassing memo episode, we have a trifecta of GOP-manufactured scandals designed to distract from their own President’s problems and the threat to democracy he poses,’ Merrill said. ”
Then there were the usual Dems (like Elijah Cummings) trotted out to impugn the informant’s reliability, because after all, Trump-Russia! Keep circling those wagons, jackasses. I continue to be astounded that so many persist in their defense of The Toxic Hag.
Not sure who said it, but it is dead on…..
If you wanna know what the democrats are up to, just listen to what they accuse the Republicans of doing.
Thanks to Trump issuing that special emergency order a few weeks back the time is coming when we’ll be able to see all of the Clinton’s ill gotten gains confiscated by authorities. Even a long stretch in prison wouldn’t cause the slimy and selfish crooks as much suffering.
Just because you bribe my spouse, doesn’t mean you’ve bribed me!
are the democrats using anonymous sources to discredit him ?
Drops the dime on the Clinton’s what?
