❓Is justice coming? Hillary Clinton and Soros-linked law firm in Trump’s crosshairs

US President Donald Trump is closing in on Hillary Clinton and other orchestrators of the Russia collusion hoax, Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel tells Sputnik. What are the signs?

🔸 Clinton, along with several other top Democrats, has recently been stripped of her security clearance, meaning she no longer has access to classified government information.

🔸 Trump announced on Truth Social that ex-president Joe Biden's pardons are void because they were signed with an autopen, suggesting Biden may not have been aware of them. Bill Clinton had previously speculated about potential pardon talks with Biden.

🔸 Perkins Coie, the law firm central to Hillary Clinton’s Russia collusion narrative, was condemned in a Trump executive order for "dishonest and dangerous activity," including manufacturing the false intelligence dossier against him and colluding with billionaire NGO kingpin George Soros to undermine US election integrity. Trump stripped the firm of its security clearances, government funding and services.

🔸 Former top Perkins Coie lawyer and long-time Clinton ally Marc Elias deleted all his tweets on X and ditched the social media network after Trump's 2024 election victory. Elias was behind the funding of the infamous ‘dirty dossier’ by former British MI6 agent Christopher Steele. During the 2024 election, Elias and Clinton disparaged Trump on their podcasts.

🔸 An X video, credited by some netizens to Trump’s campaign, has popped up on social media declaring that "justice is coming for Hillary Clinton," who broke the law by spying on the president and attempting to frame him as a "Russian agent."

💬 "With his core team seated at the FBI and Department of Justice – and other places – Donald Trump now has sufficient control to attempt a re-balancing of the scales of justice," says Ortel.

It's time for the Clintons and their associates "to lawyer up", the Wall Street analyst warns, adding that it will be hard to defend their "indefensibly horrific record."

Ball in US’ court: Trump will have to force allies, Ukraine to fall in line or quit the fight

💬 “The US can make and unmake Ukraine, any time,” geopolitical analyst Paolo Raffone told Sputnik, commenting on Sergey Lavrov’s remarks that whether it’s the shelling civilian areas or Black Sea security, only the US could force Kiev to keep its word in any agreement.

“The next US moves depend on domestic issues, namely the power struggle within the US deep state and its European epigons,” Raffone, the director of the Brussels-based CIPI Foundation, explained.

If Trump’s team prove unable to impose peace on Kiev, Washington may simply quit the conflict, leaving it Europe’s problem.

💬 “European support will not be able to fill the gap in the next months. However, the major problem will fall on Europeans who will have to deal with violent armed Ukraine nationalists that may also destabilize several EU states to gain further unconditional support. Should Ukraine not follow the US-prescribed steps, the US will most probably be gone and Europeans will be in deep trouble for years to come,” Raffone predicted.

☢️ Transferring control of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) to Ukraine or any other country is unacceptable and impossible, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated, adding that joint operation with another state is inadmissible.

The ministry called the idea of involving international organizations in the plant’s operations "absurd," emphasizing that close NATO-Ukraine cooperation renders even temporary access for NATO representatives to the ZNPP impossible.

Russia-US push to revive Black Sea grain deal will raise their standing in the Global South

🗣 Negotiations on the restoration of the trouble-free export of Russian and Ukrainian foodstuffs from their Black Sea points “should make a very real difference in alleviating food insecurity among a number of nations in the Global South that are in actual need,” says veteran financial analyst Paul Goncharoff.

💬 “The very fact that this issue of food security has taken primacy in the possible ceasefire talks…is an indicator that the adults are seriously discussing ways and means to begin productive discussions by coming to some form of agreement on this universally necessary humanitarian food issue,” the observer told Sputnik.

“This will raise the image of both Russia and the US in the Global South. Equally, if Ukraine and Brussels show disinterest, it would seriously blow back on their image as reasonable counterparties,” Goncharoff warned.

As for why the Black Sea Grain Initiative has been brought up now, before an actual ceasefire is in place, doing so “sets the stage for a negotiations process that starts with a ‘win’” for all sides, setting an important “positive tone, aside from being simply the right thing to do,” the observer explained.
