Hillary Clinton claimed on Monday that the Uranium One scandal engulfing herself and the Obama administration has all been “debunked.”
“It’s the same baloney they’ve been peddling for years, and there’s been no credible evidence by anyone,” said Clinton.
At issue: why Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved the transfer of 20 percent of all U.S. uranium to Putin’s Russia and why nine foreign investors in the deal funneled $145 million to Hillary Clinton’s foundation.
Far from being “debunked,” several mainstream media outlets have confirmed key facts related to the Uranium One scandal—a story first broken by Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer in his New York Times bestselling book, Clinton Cash.
1. CONFIRMED by the New York Times: The former head of Russia’s uranium company (Ian Telfer) made four hidden donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling $2.35 million.
As the New York Times has confirmed: “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.”
2. CONFIRMED by the New Yorker magazine: Bill Clinton bagged a $500,000 speech in Moscow paid for by a Kremlin-backed bank.
The New Yorker confirmed that Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech paid for by “a Russian investment bank that had ties to the Kremlin.”

So much WINNING!
But I want to make it absolutely clear - I am NOT tired of WINNING.
1. CONFIRMED by the New York Times: The former head of Russia’s uranium company (Ian Telfer) made four hidden donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling $2.35 million.
2. CONFIRMED by the New Yorker magazine: Bill Clinton bagged a $500,000 speech in Moscow paid for by a Kremlin-backed bank.
3. CONFIRMED by the New York Times: Despite claims to the contrary, Uranium One has, in fact, exported “yellowcake” out of America and is “routinely packed into drums and trucked off to a processing plant in Canada.”
4. CONFIRMED by The Hill: The FBI has uncovered “substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering.”
5. CONFIRMED by CNBC: Clinton Foundation mega-donor Frank Holmes claimed he sold Uranium One before Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved the Russian transfer—but his company’s own SEC filings prove otherwise.
6. CONFIRMED by the New York Times: While eight other agencies had to sign off on approving the transfer of 20 percent of all U.S. uranium to Russia, Hillary Clinton’s State Department was the only government agency headed by an official (Hillary Clinton) whose family foundation received $145 million from foreign investors involved in the uranium deal.
7. CONFIRMED by The Hill: FBI agents already have an eyewitness and documents to support the most explosive parts of the Uranium One story.
“Lock her up.”
Could this be the Clinton scandal that finally gets legs? The Dems need the Clintons to shuffle off the stage and they need to protect Obama.
Aside from outright lies, on what basis are the rats claiming that a republican donor initiated the funding for the dossier?
The Clinton’s and Ob, not Trump.
If the Clintons got 145 MILLION, then the US Treasury should have gotten at least a BILLION?? DID WE?
Lock her up !!!!!!!
And her spouse, and everyone else involved in this act of treason.
How come the left never looked into it until now?
Yeah, I know, but someone needs to state the obvious.
I think the media that hide this and ignored it should be asked why.
Zilch.
Nada
Nyet
Presto-chango Zero
Are there any legal requirements for the Clinton foundation to publicly list their donors and/or their expenditures?
can anybody answer this so-called “refutation” from the site: SNOPES.COM

EXCERPT
Despite transfer of ownership, the uranium remained in the U.S.
A key fact ignored in criticisms of Clinton’s supposed involvement in the deal is that the uranium was not — nor could it be — exported, and remained under the control of U.S.-based subsidiaries of Uranium One, according to a statement by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission:
NRC’s review of the transfer of control request determined that the U.S. subsidiaries will
remain the licensees, will remain qualified to conduct the uranium recovery operations, and will continue to have the equipment, facilities, and procedures necessary to protect public health and safety and to minimize danger to life or property. The review also determined that the licensees will maintain adequate financial surety for eventual decommissioning of the sites. Neither Uranium One nor ARMZ holds an NRC export license, so no uranium produced at either facility may be exported.
It was mining owned by private companies like Energy Metals Corp, not US government owned uranium.
I think what also needs to be investigated thoroughly, and maybe because of what is already known, it will be, is the “Clinton Foundation” itself. An awful lot of money is going through that thing, and some person or persons are getting their grubby, corrupt paws on a LOT of it. It is almost impossible to imagine that Bill and Shrillary have not benefitted personally from the millions of “contributions” made while she was SOS. I suppose they’re smart enough to have hidden how the money actually gets back to them, but I am sure it does somehow.
Current topic in the Democrat caucuses is how best to bury this thing. Current topic at the DNC is whether they even want to bury this thing. They know what will happen if Hillary runs again and yet she's clinging to the nomination process with every claw on her gnarled hands.
$145 million, and they're already exporting yellowcake for processing in Canada. Too big to bury? Probably. So who goes down?

“In the end, the scandal would, by legal precedent, empower the Senate to conduct rigorous investigations into government corruption. It also marked the first time a U.S. cabinet official served jail time for a felony committed while in office.”
Alrighty then.
The argument never was about Russia carting off a percentage of some stockpile of mined ore that’s been stashed in barrels somewhere. It was about the legal ownership of part of the company and thus the company’s uranium in the ground and all that entails.
Furthermore, much of the world’s higher grade uranium is in parts of the world that are not secure in any sense of the word - such as Niger, Mali, and Somalia. Even Venezuela if I’m not mistaken. That makes things really tough for countries which depend on uranium for much of their energy because no one wants to depend on a resource that is under the control of hostiles or could be in a flash because of the location of the mines. Consequently, Canadian and US uranium, because they can be assumed safe for years to come from terrorists and war, is a prime commodity to invest in.
If you are an unstable country or potentially abusive country liable to do things like invade Ukraine, and you buy a substantial portion of the globe’s otherwise SECURE reserves of uranium, you’ve just reduced the pool of secure uranium available to the good guys’ energy needs far into the future and the blackmail potential increases. Think of how the largest players in OPEC have been able to manipulate the foreign policy of much more advanced nations.
But, but, Snopes says they are not.
Why doesn’t the article mention Frank Guistra? He was involved in all this and Haiti too. BTW, he’s the Canadian connection.
