Sen. D’Amato Drops Bomb: Hillary Allowed Russia to Take Ownership of US Uranium to Sell to Iran

Jul 3rd, 2016

Former Senator Al D’Amato (R-NY) dropped a bomb on Sunday Morning Futures this AM. D’Amato told Maria Bartiromo that Hillary allowed Russia to take ownership of US uranium so they could sell it to Iran.

Hillary made it possible for the Russians to take control of one of our huge uranium producers and allow them to own the company, export the uranium and who do they sell the uranium to? Iran!

Now if people knew that and that the foundation as a result of that got $135 million. I think people would start saying, “What?”

It’s true.
In January 2013, Pravda celebrated the Russian atomic energy agency’s purchase of the company “Uranium One” in Canada.

That same company, Uranium One, owned uranium concessions in the United States. Because uranium is a strategically important commodity, the Russians would need approval from the Obama administration, including Hillary’s State Department, before the purchase took place.

Nine shareholders in Uranium One just happened to provide more than $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation in the run-up to State Department approval.

The Clintons took the cash from Uranium One officials before the deal was approved by Hillary Clinton’s State Department. The Clintons hid the donations which is a clear violation of the Memorandum of Understanding Hillary Clinton signed with the Obama administration wherein she promised and agreed to publicly disclose all donations during her tenure as Secreatary of State. (Via Breitbart)

The New York Times reported on the crooked deal in 2015.

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 then there’s this...

Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) told Greta Van Susteren the deal Hillary approved gave Putin ownership of 20 percent of US uranium and Russia sells uranium to unfriendly countries, including Iran.

Obama allowing Iran to purchase uranium from Russia

Daniel Horowitz | January 10, 2017

Remember those side deals Obama forged with Iran that were not part of the text of the official treaty? Now we are finding out some of the details.

Yesterday, the Washington Free Beacon reported that Iranian officials confirmed they have received at least $10 billion in cash, commodities, and assets from Washington since 2013. And that is likely a conservative estimate.

But cash is not the only thing the Islamic Republic of Iran is receiving for gracing us with their willingness to sign onto our own capitulation.

The AP is reporting that Russia, with the support of President Obama, is shipping Iran 116 metric tons of natural uranium.

While Iranian officials have obviously declined to disclose the use of such uranium, AP notes that this is enough to enrich weapons-grade uranium for nuclear bombs:

“Despite present restrictions on its enrichment program, however, the amount of natural uranium is significant should Iran decide to keep it in storage, considering its potential uses once some limits on Tehran’s nuclear activities start to expire in less than a decade.

David Albright, whose Institute of Science and International Security often briefs U.S. lawmakers on Iran’s nuclear program, says the shipment could be enriched to enough weapons-grade uranium for more than 10 simple nuclear bombs, “depending on the efficiency of the enrichment process and the design of the nuclear weapon.” ...”

Is he not also a convert to the head chopper religion? I could be wrong.

[petitfour]

Brennan has no clearance.

[Lumper20]

True. The State Department has been trash since WWII. I recall my father and other senior officers plus Gens always saying our State Department sold us out.

[John S Mosby]

He doesn’t and has not had a security clearance for some time. Pres. Trump removed it— ordered it removed.

So, Brennan has little to say- except “here’s what we’d wish you support.. me and John Kerry” who also does not have a security clearance.

these clowns and the select paid off house dems are going to try to trash US Iran policy and save their payoffs.

[FreeReign]

How does this Commie crook still have any security clearance?

I thought Trump took away his clearance.

[John S Mosby]

Process server— US Marshal comes to his side DURING testimony— yes indeed— marvelous!

[RummyChick]

If anyone needs a laugh here is laughing man and the Mueller report.

[iontheball]

Dems bing briefed by a guy who lost his security clearance? Good luck with that.

[rktman]

Perhaps he’ll get some updates from crisi-tee-ahna ah-mum-poo-er.

[Stravinsky]

More undermining of the President by the deep state. Enough is enough.

[God luvs America]

wait- wasn’t he in charge of foreign intelligence when obama was other there spouting “ISIS IS THE JV” and “ISIS IS CONTAINED”???

[stanne]

Brennan is “an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump“

Try failed coup leader, AP you has-been, soon to be bankrupt of reputation and resources trump hating anti American ‘news source’

[JonPreston]

The coup continues to roll as the quisling Rs call for Trump’s impeachment. Once DJT leaves their party will cease to exist.

[monkeyshine]

Secret meeting about Iran = cover story for collusion with Dems to create more anti-Trump talking points and curry favor to protect his ars from a prison sentence.

[John S Mosby]

Obamaumao and hitlery arranged the ownership transfer of OUR Uranium ore fields to .. Russia.

THEN the Russians sold the Uranium to IRAN, and the US. Paid Iran the “Hague court” decision— the money we did not owe the former Shah of Iran’s country’s new regime for Lockheed aircraft that were never shipped. Fake justification for the transfer of billions— and then Iran paid the Russians for OUR URANIUM, USING OUR US Taxpayer’s Money.

Simple and evil as that. Skipping the “%ages” which obamaumao, the clintons, Kerry and a whole lot of others got for arranging and approving the original TAKING of our sovereign owned US Uranium ore. Brokered btw by Canadian mining “maganate” Giustra (who also kicked 250 MM into the canadian offices of the Clinton Global Grifters— which did not have to, and was not reported to US auditors for the “charity”— iow another kickback payoff for the “Deal”).

This makes Teapot Dome look like child’s play and is strategic minerals for US security being ... sold- by rubberstamped crooks approving it!
For World Peace- dontcha know?

[Brilliant]

Shadow government.

[proust]

This is what happens when no one gets locked up. Even Romney can openly disrespect POTUS without fear.

Trump revoked his security clearance August 2018.

Trump revokes ex-CIA Director John Brennan’s security clearance
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-revokes-ex-cia-director-john-brennans-security-clearance

From link (published Aug 15, 2018):

President Trump has revoked the security clearance for former CIA Director John Brennan, the White House announced Wednesday, in the first decision to come from a review of access for several top Obama-era intelligence and law enforcement officials.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders read a statement on behalf of the president during the start of the press briefing, saying Brennan “has a history that calls his credibility into question.”

The statement also claimed Brennan had been “leveraging” the clearance to make “wild outbursts” and claims against the Trump administration in the media.

“The president has a constitutional responsibility to protect classified information and who has access to it, and that’s what he’s doing is fulfilling that responsibility in this action,” Sanders said Wednesday.

In response, Brennan tweeted hours later: “This action is part of a broader effort by Mr. Trump to suppress freedom of speech & punish critics. It should gravely worry all American’s, including intelligence professioanls, about the cost of speaking out. My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent.”

Last month, the White House said they were looking into the clearances for other former officials and Trump critics, including former FBI director James Comey; former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe; former director of national intelligence James Clapper; former national security adviser Susan Rice and former CIA director Michael Hayden (who also worked under President George W. Bush).

On Wednesday, Sanders added to the list Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, former FBI agent Peter Strzok (who was fired from the bureau last week) and former FBI general counsel Lisa Page.

“This is specific to Mr. Brennan, and the others are currently under review,” Sanders said.

The White House last month accused the former officials of having “politicized” or “monetized” their public service, and said their clearances gave “inappropriate legitimacy to accusations with zero evidence.”
