Hillary Clinton’s State Department was part of a panel that approved the sale of one of America’s largest uranium mines at the same time a foundation controlled by the seller’s chairman was making donations to a Clinton family charity, records reviewed by the Wall Street Journal show.

I was reading where Media Matters rebutted this with the fact that 8 members of the panel were not Hillary so I decided to do a little investigation.

1. Department of Treasury: Timothy Geithner. Served in the Clinton Administration

2. DOJ Eric Holder. Served in the Clinton Administration

3.DHS Janet Napolitano Appointed US Attorney by Bill Clinton

4. Commerce Gary Locke Co-chair of the Washington Hillary for President 2008

5. Science and Technology Representative John Holdren Served in the Clinton Administration

I’d been wondering what other agencies beside State were involved in the approval process also and got this. IF any of the denials are true, we should be hearing from a member of each of these agencies. They should be willing to tell us that the author of the book got it wrong; that Hillary was NOT the sole approval of the uranium sale.....if not, then I guess we’re free to believe the reported story.
