How the Clintons Sold Out U.S. National Interests to the Putin Regime
National Review ^ | Spring 2017 | Deroy Murdock

The shadiest deal that the Clintons hatched with Russia is called Uranium One. Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining mogul and major Clinton Foundation donor, led a group of investors in an enterprise called Uranium One. On June 8, 2010, Rosatom, the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation, announced plans to purchase a 51.4 percent stake in the Canadian company, whose international assets included some 20 percent of America’s uranium capacity.

Because this active ingredient in atomic reactors and nuclear weapons is a strategic commodity, this $1.3 billion deal required the approval of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). Secretary of State Clinton was one of nine federal department and agency heads on that secretive panel.

Russia’s record of transferring dangerous materials and technologies to rogue regimes, such as those in Iran and Syria, is very troubling,” Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, wrote to CFIUS’s then-chairman, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.

On June 29, 2010, three weeks after Rosatom proposed to Uranium One, Bill Clinton keynoted a seminar staged by Renaissance Capital in Moscow, a reputedly Kremlin-controlled investment bank that promoted this transaction. Renaissance Capital paid Clinton $500,000 for his one-hour speech.

While CFIUS evaluated Rosatom’s offer, "Clinton Cash" author Peter Schweizer observed, “a spontaneous outbreak of philanthropy among eight shareholders in Uranium One” began.

Hillary Clinton also favored Skolkovo, an “innovation city” near Moscow.

By 2012, Skolkovo boasted 28 “Key Partners” in the U.S., Europe, and Russia. Among these major supporting organizations, three-fifths had donated or pledged funds to the Clinton Foundation or paid speaking fees to Bill Clinton.

According to From Russia with Money, an August 2016 study by the Government Accountability Institute, these 17 “Key Partner” entities donated between $6.5 million and $23.5 million to the Clinton Foundation.

Sickening. The Morning Joe group backed Hillary... they're probably as dirty as she is...

*PING* to this article about Clintons and Russia.

In the end Putin and Soros may hate hate each other but are 2 sides of the same coin, as are the politicians who sell out to them. Of any country.

Tokyo Rose, that is. Lets send troops everywhere because we are nice and everyone else wants us around telling them how to run their railroad.

We know what is best for them. Hah

If that were the case we would have our own country not on the verge of doom.

Not advocating US action on Ukraine. Just sharing fact of fact of Russia’s presence there. They’re everywhere. Like Syria. You trolls love NeoCon Putin and his empire.

We are everywhere too.

I am for getting our act together and saving America first.

We can’t fight everyone elses wars for them. So far I have not seen any of our allies do crap either. They would be more of the beneficiaries than the USA.

Not ruining ourselves in many foreign entanglements is not unpatriotic. It shows love of country. Many things can be solved without wars. You can’t have crooks that profit from it in charge because they will sell us out for money. They just love war. McCain, Graham are two of them.

People want to see something other than the usual useless knee jerk reactions to show everyone what hard asses we are.
We already are aware of our prowess. We now need people who aren’t loose with the trigger.

Thats fine. And Trump agrees. But lets be real about Russia.

1) It is a Soviet Union holdover that has not moved on yet.
2) Putin is Neo-Con extraordinaire, empire hungry and with entanglements everywhere from Syria to Venezuela to Iran to Turkey to North Korea, and of course Ukraine and so forth...
3) The Russian economy hinges on Putin’s inner circle of crony oligarchs that store their assets of looted Russian money in the same globali$t banks as Soros...and they dilly dally with the likes of Hillary Clinton and have invaded Western real estate as well.

Putin’s military allies fund terrorists and have cemented the most anti-Semitic, warmongery coalition axis since the end of WWII.

If you’re going to call out McCain, you better call out Putin.
