Political developments in Washington

As Democrats look to brand Trump a traitor, the IRS is set to investigate the Clinton Foundation

Of course the US has never inserted itself in another country's election process.
The Hill explains in detail how the Democrats are now in overdrive to distract the American public away from the fact that the Democratic party and Hillary Clinton cheated and conspired to make Bernie a non-factor in the primary vote, essentially wasting all Bernie supporters’ time, and mocking them for their faith and belief that they could effect change in what was always a Clinton coronation.

Never mind the fact Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 for a speech to Russian Investment Firm Renaissance Capital.Never mind the fact that Hillary’s Clinton Foundation has received donations from the Russian government.

Never mind the fact that Hillary set up a private email server in her house, took money from Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, and other despot governments for political favors.

In liberal logic all of this matters not…it is Trump who is the traitor because he exchanged, not in person but over twitter and various interviews, two (2) pleasantries with Vladimir Putin.
Democrats on Thursday united against Donald Trump’s remarks that he hoped Russian hackers would gain access to Hillary Clinton’s emails, with a few saying the call for international espionage could be construed as treason.
He is inviting an aggressive country that we are really worried about to invade us,” Sen. Claire McCaskill (Mo.) said on MSNBC. “This is — this is ridiculous, and, frankly, it borders on treasonous.”
It’s terrifying he’s doing as well as he is,” she added of the GOP’s presidential nominee. “I don’t think this is a man who has any interest in understanding the complexity of foreign policy.”
Rep. Steve Israel (N.Y.) closely echoed McCaskill’s concerns during his own interview with MSNBC on Wednesday.
Well, that borders on treason. Never before have I heard of or seen a candidate not just for president, but for anything, invite a foreign spy agency to hack America’s computers. It’s one thing to be unfit for command, but today he’s proved he’s dangerously unfit for command.”
Former CIA Director and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta earlier Wednesday questioned Trump’s loyalty to the U.S. following the billionaire’s comments.
I just think that’s beyond the pale,” he said to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. “I think that kind of statement reflects that he is truly not qualified to be president of the United States.”
Rep. Eliot Engel (N.Y.) said Trump’s comments may encourage further Russian meddling in the general presidential election. Russia is accused of hacking the Democratic National Committee’s (DNC) emails and leaking them to WikiLeaks, which released nearly 20,000 of them last week.
Vladimir Putin is working to influence an American election, and a major-party candidate wants to benefit from this foreign interference by encouraging more illegal hacks,” Engel said in a statement.
We cannot allow Russia to manipulate American democracy, and we cannot stay quiet when a major American political figure invites foreign influence into American voting booths,” said Engel, a ranking member on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
And House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (Md.) said Trump’s comments raise serious concerns about his patriotism.
To call on a foreign adversary to commit an illegal act of cybercrime and espionage in order to undermine a political rival is not only un-American, it undermines our national security,” he said in a statement.

Of course the US has never inserted itself in another country’s election process. America never had Yeltsin in their pocket, did they?

Boris-Yeltsin
That was not Barack Obama in London a few months back telling UK citizens to vote NO to Brexit, or else they would“get in the back of  the line”.
Meanwhile, The Daily Reporter is covering what is set to be another Clinton investigation, scandal, and list of lies, to be served up for public consumption.
The IRS is looking to investigate the slush fund Clinton Foundation….
RS Commissioner John Koskinen referred congressional charges of corrupt Clinton Foundation “pay-to-play” activities to his tax agency’s exempt operations office for investigation, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
The request to investigate the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation on charges of “public corruption” was made in a July 15 letter by 64 House Republicans to the IRS, FBI and Federal Trade Commission (FTC). They charged the foundation is “lawless.”
The initiative is being led by Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican who serves as the vice chairwoman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, which oversees FTC. The FTC regulates public charities alongside the IRS.
The lawmakers charged the Clinton Foundation is a “lawless ‘pay-to-play’ enterprise that has been operating under a cloak of philanthropy for years and should be investigated.”
