Controversy continues to follow Hillary Clinton.
Her allies in the press have been pushing conspiracy theories about Donald Trump and Russia.
Trump responded and he called for an investigation that Clinton and friends will not like.
No one has been able to produce a shred of evidence to prove this claim, but that hasn’t silenced the media drum beat that a scandal exists.
Trump was fed up and fired off a series of tweets calling for an investigation into the Clintons and their allies documented financial ties to Russia.
Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech….

Why doesn't Fake News talk about Podesta ties to Russia as covered by @FoxNews or money from Russia to Clinton – sale of Uranium?

Trump was referencing the sale of the company Uranium One to a Russian government-backed energy firm.
The sale gave Putin control over 20 percent of North America’s uranium supply.
It occurred after over $100 million was donated to the Clinton Foundation was Hillary was Secretary of State.
Clinton was one of nine agency heads who could have reviewed the deal and recommend that Barack Obama stop the sale.
But her silence – as well as undisclosed donations from Uranium One’s chairman – created a cloud of suspicion around her conduct.
Trump also was wondering why John Podesta’s failure to disclose a $35 million investment by a Moscow-backed energy firm into a company whose board he sat on wasn’t worth of investigation.
Podesta was in line to be Clinton’s Secretary of State and he had hidden financial ties to the Russian government.
The only documented, shady and questionable ties to the Russian government belong to the Clinton campaign.
But the media is creating a fake news story about Trump and Russia to try and damage his administration.
