What Does it Take to Bring Hillary Clinton to Justice?
By Pepe Escobar
November 03, 2016 "Information Clearing House" - "RT" - Virtually
the whole planet holds its collective breath at the prospect of Hillary
Clinton possibly becoming the next President of the United States
(POTUS).
How’s
that humanly possible, as the (daily) Bonfire of The Scandals –
relentlessly fed by WikiLeaks revelations and now converging FBI
investigations - can now be seen from interstellar space?
It’s
possible because Hillary Clinton, slouching through a paroxysm of
manufactured hysteria, is supported by virtually the whole US
establishment, a consensual neocon/neoliberalcon War Party/Wall
Street/corporate media axis.
But History has a tendency to show us there’s always a straw that breaks the camel’s back.
This could be it – as revealed by WikiLeaks; March 2, 2015, the day when John Podesta wrote,“we are going to have to dump all those emails.”
That happened to be the exact same day it was revealed Hillary Clinton had used a personal email server as Secretary of State.
Yet
this reveals only part of the puzzle. There’s got to be a response to
Podesta’s email – which WikiLeaks may, or may not, leak in the next few
days before the election. If the back and forth clearly shows intent (to
mislead), then we’ve got a 100 percent smoking gun: the whole Clinton
(cash) machine narrative – according to which Hillary just deleted "personal" emails – crumbles like the ultimate House of Cards.
Moreover,
that would unveil what was from the start the privileged Clinton
machine strategy: to thwart the subsequent internal State Dept. and FBI
investigations.
As
far as the Clinton machine is concerned, an interlocking influence
peddling pile up is the norm. John Podesta also happens to be the
founder of the Center for American Progress – a George Soros operation
and prime recruiting ground for Obama administration officials,
including US Treasury operatives who decided which elite Too Big To Fail
(TBTF) financial giants would be spared after the 2008 crisis. DCLeaks.com,
for its part, has connected Soros Open Society foundations to global
funding rackets directly leading to subversion of governments and
outright regime change (obviously sparing Clinton Foundation donors.)Exceptional bananas, anyone?
The
perfectly timed slow drip of WikiLeaks revelations, for the Clinton
machine, feels like a sophisticated form of Chinese torture. To
alleviate the pain, the relentless standard spin has been to change the
subject, blame the messenger, and attribute it all to “evil” Russian hacking when the real source for the leaks might have come straight from the belly of the (Washington) beast.
At the Valdai discussion club last week, it took President Putin only a few sentences to debunk the whole Clinton machine narrative with a bang:
“Another
mythical and imaginary problem is what I can only call the hysteria
the USA has whipped up over supposed Russian meddling in the American
presidential election. The United States has plenty of genuinely urgent
problems, it would seem, from the colossal public debt to the increase
in firearms violence and cases of arbitrary action by the police.You
would think that the election debates would concentrate on these
and other unresolved problems, but the elite has nothing with which
to reassure society, it seems, and therefore attempt to distract public
attention by pointing instead to supposed Russian hackers, spies, agents
of influence and so forth.
I have
to ask myself and ask you too: Does anyone seriously imagine that
Russia can somehow influence the American people’s choice? America is
not some kind of ‘banana republic’, after all, but is a great power. Do
correct me if I am wrong.”
Reality,
though, continues to insist on offering multiple, overlapping banana
republic instances, configuring a giant black hole of transparency.
Anthropologist Janine Wedel has been one of the few in Clinton-linked US mainstream mediaacknowledging how Bill Clinton, while Hillary was Secretary of State, perfected his version of “philantro-capitalism” ( actually a money laundering “pay to play” racket), a practice “by no means confined to the Clintons”.
And the racket prospered with inbuilt nuggets, such as Hillary being perfectly aware that prime Clinton Foundation donors Qatar and Saudi Arabia were also financing ISIS/ISIL/Daesh. Huma, the Fall Princess
Now,
less than a week before the election, we have come to the crucial
juncture where the WikiLeaks revelations are merging with the FBI
investigations - all three of them.
Exhibit A is this WikiLeaks bombshell;
Peter Kadzik, who’s now in charge of the Department of Justice (DOJ)
probe into the 650,000 emails found on the laptop shared by Clinton’s
right-hand woman Huma Abedin and her estranged, pervert husband Anthony
Wiener, is a Clinton asset.
Not
only Kadzik was an attorney for Marc Rich when he was pardoned by Bill
Clinton; Podesta – as also revealed by WikiLeaks - thanked Kadzik for
keeping him “out of jail”; and it was Kadzik who gave Podesta a secret heads up on the Clinton email investigation.
The
Clinton machine, starring a self-described virtuous Madonna, is
actually a pretty nasty business. Huma and her family’s close
connections to Saudi Arabia – and the Muslim Brotherhood – are legendary
(that includes her brother Hassan, who works for Sheikh Yusuf
al-Qaradawi). Podesta, by the way, is a handsomely remunerated lobbyist
for Saudi Arabia in Washington; that’s part of the Clinton Foundation
connection.
Yet
now, with Huma in the spotlight – still maintaining she didn’t know all
those emails were in her and Wiener’s laptop - it’s no wonder Hillary
has instantly downgraded her, publicly, to “one of my aides”. She used to be Hillary’s ersatz “daughter”; now she’s being framed as The Fall Princess.
And
that brings us to the intersection of those three FBI investigations;
on Hillary’s Subterranean Email Server (in theory closed by FBI’s Comey
last summer); on the Clinton Foundation; and on Wiener’s sexting of
minors. The FBI has been investigating the Clinton Foundation for over a
year now. Let’s try to cut a long story short.
Follow the evidence
Last
July, the DOJ – under Clinton/Obama asset Loretta Lynch - decided not
to prosecute anyone on Emailgate. And yet FBI director Comey – who
nonetheless stressed Hillary’s “extreme carelessness” – turbo-charged his no-denial mode on another investigation, as in the FBI “sought to refocus the Clinton Foundation probe.”
Soon
we had Clinton Foundation FBI investigators trying to get access to all
the emails turned over in the Emailgate investigation. The East
District of New York refused it. Very important point; up to 2015, guess
who was the US attorney at the East District; Clinton/Obama asset
Lynch.
Enter
an extra layer of legalese. Less than two months ago, the Clinton
Foundation FBI investigators discovered they could not have access to
any Emailgate material that was connected to immunity agreements.
But
then, roughly a month ago, another FBI team captured the by now famous
laptop shared by Huma and Wiener - using a warrant allowing only a probe
on Weiner’s sexting of a 15-year-old girl. Subsequently they found Huma
Abedin emails at all her accounts – fromHumaabedin@yahoo.com to the crucial huma@clintonemail.com.
This meant not only that Huma was forwarding State Dept. emails to
her private accounts, but also that Hillary was sending emails from the “secret” clintonemail.com to Huma at yahoo.com.
No
one knew for sure, but some of these emails might be duplicates of
those the Clinton Foundation FBI investigators could not access because
of the pesky immunity agreements.
What’s
established by now is that the metadata in the Huma/Wiener laptop was
duly examined. Now picture both teams of FBI investigators – Clinton
Foundation and pervert Wiener – comparing notes. And then they decide
Huma’s emails are “relevant”.
Key questions apply; and the most pressing is how the emails were deemed “relevant” if
the investigators could only examine the metadata. What matters is that
Comey certainly was made aware of the content of the emails – a
potential game-changer. That’s why one of my sourcesinsists his decision to go public came from above.
The
other key question now is whether the DOJ – via Kadzik? - will once
again thwart another investigation, this time on the Clinton Foundation.
Senior, serious FBI agents won’t take that – massive euphemism –
kindly.
The
FBI has been on the Clinton Foundation for over a year. Now, arguably,
they are loaded with evidence – and they won’t quit. Winning the
presidency now seems to be the least of Hillary Clinton’s Bonfire of
Scandals’ problems.
