Not unexpected and nothing really new here, except that the FBI informant is talking.
Also, I don't believe the FBI uncovered a bribery scheme. They helped facilitate it, if I remember correctly.
This is one piece of a more complicated matter. I heard yesterday that Bill Clinton met with Russians to facilitate "something" for his wife, Secretary of State Hillary.
We "hear" a lot of things. Though, I thought the "facilitation" went to the CF and not to Hillary, or her campaign, directly.
If the latter is true, things become more complicated and difficult.

Wow! Crazy times indeed.
I remember asking some people who had worked on Obama's election campaigns as to why the Democrats during the 2016 election didn't highlight the Trump family ties to the mafia in NYC and related corruption? Immediate answer: "Because many Democrats are likely in bed with them too in NYC."

Why do you call her a cowgirl? Do you call Trump a baseball player? Or is it different when you sell the hats you wear for a profit?

Bread and circuses... From both parties.
Nobody of note is going to jail, some peon will be tossed in jail/suicided congress will say see we are not corrupt and business will continue as usual.
My usual reaction too to things like this. I'm grown fairly skeptical of the potential for that level of politicians or leaders to be held accountable.

Ties to the U.S. Mafia might be acceptable to Democrats and Republicans. Democrats don't like investment banks and Wall Street, from what I gather.

You may be right. I was amazed when President Trump said after being elected that "Hillary had suffered enough". What happened to "Lock Her Up!" ??

Is that what you gather?... After Obama bailed out the big banks in 2008/2009?
After Obama and Clinton were paid b̶r̶i̶b̶e̶s̶ ̶ "speaking fees" for talks at banker events?

Right, it's just like Bush Jr. was never held accountable for torture or the war in Iraq. It's a shared code of omerta, or non-prosecution.

I take it that Bernie Sanders is not a "Real" Democrat then? He constantly consistently 100% bashes Wall Street, Investment Bakers, Big Pharmaceuticals, and a few other "BIG" entities.

Bernie endorsed the anointed Obama replacement. He doesn't appear to be someone who is easily intimidated. But for the good of the party, he probably bit his upper lip and reluctantly gave Hillary his backing.

Bernie Sanders was an Independent for his entire political career until he ran for President and he’s gone back to being an Independent since.

I see. Thanks for that info. I mistakenly thought he was/is a Democrat. In that case, Hillary shouldn't have had so much influence over him.
