On 17 October 2017, The Hill reported obtaining evidence that Vadim Mikerin, a Russian official who oversaw the American operations of the Russian nuclear agency Rosatom, was being investigated for corruption by multiple U.S. agencies while the Uranium One deal was up for approval — information that apparently was not shared with U.S. officials involved in approving the transaction. The Hill also reported receiving documents and eyewitness testimony “indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow,” although no specifics about who those Russian nuclear officials were or how the money was allegedly routed to the Clinton Foundation were given. In any case, none of these revelations prove that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton participated in a quid pro quo agreement to accept payment for approval of the Uranium One deal.

Living in NVa I can confirm that the whole Northam is a gang enabler thing was received with almost as much indignation as it deserves. I am not sure if it is a state wide ad campaign, but the more factual swamp-thing Gillespie lobbyist angle is playing on a loop up here (backed up with 'humble country doc' Northam is up for sainthood). It seems convincing given that it just rolls out his list of accomplishments for his clients.

WRT Northam, is there any mention of him being born in Nassawadox over on the Eastern Shore "down south"? None here, but that would seem like something that should have some play.

I'm not changing my mind on Kelly, Mattis, or McMaster.

These guys are patriots who are indeed the adult day care shift managers.

They must say whatever they think is necessary to appease the Orange Buffoon in order to keep their jobs.

They are looking only big picture - which is preservation not only of America but the earth.

John Kelly is willing to embarrass himself to serve the nation. He's a hero here far more than he could ever be on the battlefield.
