Russian trolls behind anti-Clinton video game
[CNN] Russian trolls created an anti-Hillary Clinton video game called "Hiltendo," and tried to make it go viral in the weeks before the 2016 US presidential election.
But it didn’t take off — viewed by 700,000, played by 19,000. CNN is trying to sell the sizzle because there is no steak, poor dears.

#1  Trying to influence the election? Or just trying to exploit some rubes and make some rubles?

#2  Hiltendo, catchy, never heard of it.

I'd go Hilda Beast, a play on Altered Beast.

Except instead of gaining animalistic powers after retrieving bottles of mana, bundles of cash would increase the power and physical frumpiness, with a bottle of gin to give fire breathing abilities. Level bosses would be political opponents, Joe the Plumber, Middle Class home owner.

China paid students to wave China’s flag on Xi DC visit
The Chinese embassy paid Chinese students to line the streets of DC holding flags when Xi Jinping visited Washington in 2012 and 2015.

#1  Just like the Donks. Bus them in. Or union pickets, who are not of the union or get benefits.

#2  The Chinese embassy paid Chinese students to line the streets of DC holding flags when Xi Jinping visited Washington in 2012 and 2015.

Not much different than Soros hiring a rent-a-crowd except the Chinese students have better manners and are better behaved.

#3  Beats just ordering them to do it "because we know where your family lives".

#4  While not quite the same as getting a photo of the PLA National Defense University's graduating class, photos of the rent-a-college-students might be interesting to the spooks at Langley for recruitment purposes, either as prospects or as non-prospects.

Fifth Column
Chairman Nunes Reveals Fusion GPS Connection to Obama White House…
Well this latest twist is sketchy as hell. In December last year we learned about Nellie Ohr working for Fusion GPS and channeling Clinton/Steele ‘dossier’ information to her husband Bruce Ohr who worked in the DOJ National Security Division.

Today Fox News is revealing that Fusion-GPS #2 man-in-charge, Neil King Jr., was/is married to President Obama’s White House Policy Adviser, Shailagh Murray; who was also Joe Biden’s Deputy-Chief-of-Staff.

It’s becoming more and more transparently obvious that Fusion-GPS was one of the contractors with access to the FBI and NSA database; and when Admiral Rogers shut down that access (April 2018), Fusion-GPS needed a workaround to access the system through the Dept. of Justice National Security Division (DOJ-NSD), via Bruce Ohr.

#1  .....when Admiral Rogers shut down that access (April 2018), Fusion-GPS needed a workaround to access the system

Enter Bruce and Nellie Ohr, an AWOL Christopher Steele, and a host of current and former Russian contacts and sources, some living, others clinging to life.

All hands on deck the 'SS Uranium One' cover story appears to be going down.

#2  If Putin was behind the dossier and was supporting Trump's election, as contended by the Dems, it never made sense that the Russians would release a faked, sleezy, salacious, Trump dossier slamming Trump. It begs the question: "Who would most benefit from such a dossier?" The answer has to be the Deep State and Hillary Clinton.

Surprisingly, the NYTs provided a fairly accurate account of the Clinton Uranium 1/Clinton Foundation quid pro quo arrangement Here. Before that Peter Schweizer book "Clinton Cash" documented this pay-for-play deal. The MSM and the Clintons went into high gear to discredit this book at the time. Maybe it should have been titled "Traitors for Cash." Mueller does not seem to have much interest into looking at Uranium 1.

Just a hunch but I've often thought that Hillary's unprotected server was intentionally left unprotected. When asked about this, she feigned a lack of knowledge about security procedures and computers.

Hillary was supposed to win and all of this would have been buried deeper.

#3  Mueller does not seem to have much interest into looking at Uranium 1.

Nor does anyone else I might add.

#4  Boy Howdy,

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, it does.

Me thinks they wanted to fire Admiral Rogers for shutting down the access, not him talking to Trump.

If the Admiral terminated the signals, there would have been no need for the Trump campaign apparatus to relocate. I doubt Rogers or his organization were a party to any of it. I suspect (obviously have no proof), Page went to Admiral Rogers with a...'hey boss, there's something very strange going on with my cellie.'

Admiral Rogers to Page: 'No problem, give me your selector number, I'll have someone take a look. Good to see you again.

#6  An afterthought:

If Admiral Rogers went to Donald Trump and reported Trump or his campaign folks were the target of electronic surveillance or collection...(as many believe he did), I doubt that the 'collection' he might have referred to would be of the domestic sort.

#7  The resignation in the UK right after the election and the Aussie Ambo connection always made me wonder about a five eyes part of the overall story.

#8  Will there be prosecutions for the Deep State players involved in this FISA warrant and dossier mess?

#9  Because Obama!
