The Clinton defense in the Uranium One deal rests entirely on us taking their word for the fact that there is nothing to see. But of course, that is what they said about the email server. And we now know how widely they lied about that scandal. The fact that the news media is playing lap dog and not watch dog in this case does enormous damage to the integrity of our government.
The latest revelation from WikiLeaks’ dump of John Podesta’s emails, comes from an internal review done of the charity by Simpson and Thacher, which raised huge questions about conflicts of interests at the organization.
