***Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal
As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.
And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.
So- “foundations and investment banks” paid the money you are asking about. This entire deal is so secretive, and lengthy, and tangled- its hard to get it straight. The only thing that is definite is this- this “arrangement” gave Russia 20% of America’s uranium production. Yes- the same Russia that invaded the Crimea, and who supports the Syrian government, while “accidentally” bombing the rebel troops that the U.S. backs.

John Podesta’s brother, Tony Podesta, runs the firm that pocketed $180,000 from Uranium One, the Russian government’s uranium company to which then-SoS- Hillary Clinton transferred 20% of U.S. uranium.
Russia-controlled UraniumOne retained the Podesta Group — ... in 2012, 2014, and 2015, to lobby Clinton’s State Department. The Podesta Group was paid a total of $180,000...
