Russian Uranium One Deal And Hillary Clinton In The News AgainThat uranium Iran is enriching came from Russia who Hillary Clinton sold the Uranium out of Harry Reid's state.
So while we were in a 20 year process of buying 500 tons worth of weapons grade uranium from Russia's decommissioned warheads, they bought the mining rights from a Canadian firm to some mines that produce less than 5% of the nuclear fuel our reactors burn every year? Are you saying they paid to ship that ore to Russia or Iran?
Them Russians must be some stupid fucks. Suckers.enator Chuck Grassley (R- Iowa) wants the information obtained from a raid on the home of a former FBI contractor who provided watchdog documents related to former Secretary of State and the sale of Canadian mining company Uranium One to a Russian firm.
And just like that, you confirm it.
"...their U.S. production has increased to about 5% of our total (see Campbell et al., 2017).
"The real reason Russia wanted this deal was to give Rosatom’s subsidiary the Uranium One’s very profitable uranium mines in Kazakhstan - the single largest producer of commercial uranium in the world. Russia wanted this control over their former Soviet republic, like they are trying with all former satellites and now they have it.
Then, in 2011 the Administration approved a Rosatom subsidiary to sell commercial uranium to U.S. nuclear power plants in partnership with the U.S. Enrichment Corporation. Up until then, Russia had been limited to selling our nuclear power plants uranium reprocessed from old Soviet nuclear weapons under the 1990s Megatons to Megawatts peace program. Nothing strange here either."
" Candidate Trump jumped on this issue during the 2016 campaign trail, but as Secretary, Clinton was not involved in the committee review, never intervened on the matter and there were so many other agencies involved in the recommendation that there was no there there.
The key to this issue’s resurgence is that Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State at the time, Bill Clinton got a substantial speaking fee in Russia that year, and Russian money may have found its way to the Clinton Foundation, although the latter turns out to be pretty small and through a convoluted route that may not have involved Russia at all.
However, even though there was no wrongdoing on the part of the Administration or the Clintons, and no national security reason for anyone to oppose this deal, some still want to make it another Bengazhi.
As a scandal, this issue lacks relevance since Clinton is now a private citizen and Russian meddling in our 2016 election has become a bigger issue. In fact, this uranium deal now seems to have more to do with Mueller’s present investigation than with Clinton.
In the end, this Russian deal just wasn’t that important and had no national security ramifications"
