FBI uncovered Russian bribery plot before Obama administration approved controversial nuclear
The Hill ^ | Oct 17, 2017 | JOHN SOLOMON AND ALISON SPANN

Before the Obama administration approved a controversial deal in 2010 giving Moscow control of a large swath of American uranium, the FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States, according to government documents and interviews.

Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.

They also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by documents — indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.

So it was the Clintons and Obama who were COLLUDING with Russia..I always notice when the left accuses the right of doing something it is really because they are covering up for themselves..but of course the Commie media will NEVER EVER report it..so like their motto goes, if we dont report it, it never happened

Not just him......Jarrett, KKKlinton, Holder, Lynch, Mueller, Comey...........

That's it precisely - this is the Trump Administration's warning shot across the bow to Mueller, Comey, the Klintoons, the Obamanoids. The deal, I think, is essentially this: If Mueller goes after Trump with this phony Russia business, the Trump Justice Department will go after Barry and all his buddies with this real Russia business. We'll see if Mueller takes the hint: Bobby, it's time to wrap things up.

This story is a major problem for Jeff Sessions. Many of you either don’t know Sessions or have forgotten. He is the recused head of the Justice department with direct responsibility to protect our nation from crime and corruption but in fact he hides out and only surfaces late on Fridays . Here for example we have graft and corruption at a treasonous and direct bribery level but no Jeff Sessions so just move on .

“FBI agents also gathered documents and a witness account that Russian officials routed millions of dollars to ex-President Bill Clinton’s charitable foundation while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sat on a committee that gave a nod to the dealings with Moscow.”

What will be done now?

...agents had gathered documents showing the transmission of millions of dollars from Russia’s nuclear industry to an American entity that had provided assistance to Bill Clinton’s foundation, sources confirmed to The Hill.

Mueller needs to step down.

It is not unbiased as he purports to be.

To find Jeff Sessions you only need to drag an opioid prescription through a trailer park.

“The investigation was ultimately supervised by then-U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein, an Obama appointee who now serves as President Trump’s deputy attorney general, and then-Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe, now the deputy FBI director under Trump, Justice Department documents show.”

rosenstein and McCabe have some ‘splaining to do.

Sessions is a crucial part of this. He will protect those who broke the law. He is part of the EVIL that is Washington.

Was Trump really duped into selecting Sessions? That’s my question.

Where is Rudy? He has been very, very quiet.

In other corrupt countries, these are called “bribes” and people go to jail.

Here?

Here we call these bribes, “contributions” or “gifts”.

Shows one can dress a pig up in a tux and it is no longer a pig...cough...Clinton.

#25. Rudy Giuliani is ok. Andy McCarthy is better, younger, and hungrier to take down the Clinton/Obama traitors.

Sounds alot like treason at the highest levels of the FBI and DOJ; AG Jeff Sessions should take charge of this and prosecute.

No more special counsels; AG Sessions should take charge of this and defend the USA against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
