You should be able to back it up with actual verified information from named sources that can be corroborated. 

Just watch and see with your own eyes............

 

There you go……….your favourite clown, in person, on video/tv/livecast etc spouting forth his lies.

Watch and weep.

 The massive donations to the Clinton foundation were fake? 

 

 

 

Wasn't this reported by the author of Clinton Cash? 

You mean the book by Schweitzer who back then worked for Breitbart?

Anyway, it's mostly nonsense

9 agencies had to approve the deal. The lead agency was not the State dept but the treasury dept. No evidence at all the clinton participated in the deal which was handled for State by an Undersecretary.  What's more all these department had only an advisory role. The President could approve or deny unilaterally. Politifact rated all these allegations as mostly false.

So an Obama appointed ambassador refusing visas to the people wanting to travel to provide evidence is "lame"? interesting that you don't think that is suspicious, but you do think the DOJ not acting fast enough is suspicious. 

 

The question remains, why isn't the media on this? If it was some republican involved

you can bet they would be.

 

And do we really know to what extent the new AG is doing on this? 

or is it a matter of timing to be used when politically advantageous?

It's too bad that modern communication methods haven't reached the Ukraine yet. You know, something called the telephone. I've even heard bizarre rumors about something called the internet. If the Ukranians had access to those they could contact Secretary Pompeo personally. Or maybe a fellow called John Bolton. Or their assistants. Or ther like-minded members of the Trump Administrtion.But of course, even if they did, there is absolutely no one in the Trump administration who would do anything to go after alleged misdeeds by the Democrats. Certainly not President Trump who is not in the least bit vindictive or defensive. But if these improbable condtitions were somehow to actually be the case, that would render this report and your belief in it absurd.

No doubt this is a major cover up, and Barr is a man that cannot be trusted to honor the oath he took, as the attorney general. He is partisan, to say the least.

Of course he is partisan!  I suspect that he is hoping the either RBG retires or kicks the bucket while Trump is still president and Trump nominates him for the Supreme Court.

Because if the justice department actually was working with them on this, they wouldn't have used John Solomon to make their case. They wouldn't have needed to. If anything, they would have kept it hushed to allow the Justice Dept. to investigate.

well if you think it, it simply must be true. or not

 

 

In a written statement to three congressional committees, informant Douglas Campbell said Russian nuclear executives told him that Moscow hired American lobbying firm APCO Worldwide to influence Hillary Clinton, then secretary of state, among others in the Obama administration, The Hill reported on Wednesday.

Campbell said Russian nuclear officials expected APCO to apply its $3 million annual lobbying fee from Moscow toward the Clintons’ Global Initiative. The contract detailed four $750,000 payments over a year’s time.

“APCO was expected to give assistance free of charge to the Clinton Global Initiative as part of their effort to create a favorable environment to ensure the Obama administration made affirmative decisions on everything from Uranium One to the U.S.-Russia Civilian Nuclear Cooperation agreement,” Campbell stated.

I think the first 2 paragraphs of that story pretty much established how this report came about

"Ukrainian law enforcement officials believe they have evidence of wrongdoing by American Democrats and their allies in Kiev, ranging from 2016 election interference to obstructing criminal probes. But, they say, they’ve been thwarted in trying to get the Trump Justice Department to act.

Kostiantyn Kulyk, deputy head of the Prosecutor General’s International Legal Cooperation Department, told me he and other senior law enforcement officials tried unsuccessfully since last year to get visas from the U.S. Embassy in Kiev to deliver their evidence to Washington."

that is an assumption that the DOJ didn't have information prior to the story

Once again, here's a sentence from that story:

"But, they say, they’ve been thwarted in trying to get the Trump Justice Department to act."

not taking action in a quick manner is not the same thing as not having information

Rational people would argue otherwise. Especially when there is evidence to the contrary.

you can draw any assumption you want, it doesn't make it true

your determination of rational people would be those that agree with your opinion of course.

You're wasting your time with elmrfudd.  He finds an article that opens with a statement condemning the Trump Justice Department, ends by asking why the Trump administration hasn't taken an interest in the Ukrainian investigation, and describes many missed opportunities by the Trump administration to look at the evidence, and all he sees is that one investigator claims the US ambassador blocked a visa request.  Of course to his mind that must be Obama's fault.

No, it's based on those who use evidence and not the lack of it to support their case.

Trump is NOT, IMO, a misogynyst, by any stretch of the imagination and what he does is nothing that hasn't been done by many thousands of male farangs in LOS, and by millions of men in the US over the years. Seems that many overlook the fact that the woman in question was apparently a groupie, and that is pretty normal behaviour with groupies.

I give the rest of your "list" of accusations as much credence as your misuse, IMO, of misogyny.

 

You didn't just suggest Trump is not a misogynist by equating his behaviour with the behaviour of foreigners in Thailand.....

 

Yes you did. 

 

You need to get out more.

 

Doh!

I have provided plenty of evidence. You're the one who claims that because who knows the justice department may be pursuing this case, therefore no reasoned judgement on the issue is possible.
