Russia Uranium Investigation: Why Obama, Clinton, Mueller and Holder Are at the Center
Newsweek ^ | 10/19/17 | Graham Lanktree

Posted on 10/23/2017 3:46:30 AM PDT by smileyface

A new Congressional probe of the 2010 sale of U.S. uranium to Russia led by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is examining if the FBI alerted senior Obama administration officials about corruption among the transaction’s Russian players.

Before the deal was brokered in 2009, the FBI under Robert Mueller—who is now special counsel in the Russia investigation into potential collusion with the Trump campaign—had begun an investigation into corruption and extortion by senior managers of a company owned by the Russian government’s nuclear company, Rosatom. According to court filings revealed by The Hill Tuesday, in 2009 the FBI found enough evidence to suggest Vadim Mikerin, who headed the Rosatom subsidiary Tenex, was corrupt and high-level officials at Rosatom knew about his bribery scheme. In 2014, he pled guilty in a U.S. court case to orchestrating more than $2 million in bribe payments through shadowy accounts in Cyprus, Latvia, and Switzerland.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley announced his committee's probe of the deal during a hearing with Attorney General Jeff Sessions Wednesday.

Eventually the prestitutes will have to talk about Hillary taking bribes from the Russians and Mueller covering it up

This is fun watching the fake news presstitutes flounder

And Clapper, Brennan, and Comey. All three should be tried, convicted, and hanged.

“Between 2008 and 2010, Uranium One and Former UrAsia investors donated $8.65 million to the Clinton Foundation,” he said. These donations were made while the Uranium One sale was being hammered out.

All anyone really needs to know.

Note how Newsweek provides cover to swamp rat Mueller by calling him a Republican toward the end of the article.

From "The Hill" article:

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.

When you throw the above on the pile which Newsweek didn't mention, and with Rosenstein appointing Mueller to the Special Counsel role, and McCabe's wife getting campaign money from Hillary buddies while he is investigating Hillary's email, and on and on; you really have something like what they wish they had on Trump.

So Newsweak, which made itself a minor rag after going to the left, now has A story on this (the biggest story of political fraud and cover-up. I read a paragraph talking about who the people in the story were, followed by an ad for “To follow this story, click to subscribe to Newsweak”, then another paragraph that alluded to what the story is actually about, followed by all about Mueller being the special prosecutor investigating President Trump.

Nope, Newseak is still on the left, they just need a few more subscribers on the right to stay in business.

I can’t help but think back to the investigation into the Whitewater scam, which sent several Clinton cronies to prison, but somehow left the Clintons untouched.

I wonder if the same would happen here, if Hillary’s deal with Russia ends up actually being investigated.

So now I’m wondering; did Trump appoint Mueller knowing that these revelations about the yellow cake we’re going to come forth, and making it much more effective towards totally collapsing the former administration’s inertia in their they attempts to dismantle our Constitutional Republic?

By the way, I have been blowing the yellowcake horn since the “deal” went down. Letters to the my reps etc... crickets, complacency, no response.

It is refreshing to observe that this spiritual treason is finally an issue. During the 2016 campaign I was yelling at the TV “talk about the yellow cake, talk about the yellow cake!” And nobody, I mean absolutely nobody was talking about this yellow cake deal and the ramifications thereof.

I am relieved to see it finally get some traction.

To make Mueller’s conflicts of apparent, so that even congress can get it, the Senate committee should subpoena him to testify and force him to go on record taking the fifth or declining to comment on an ongoing investigation.

The fifth-column leftist media should be investigated as co-conspirators in the Demonicrat treachery with the Russian Commies.

Is anyone checking the past bank accounts of Comey and Mueller to see if they were stupid enough to leave a paper trail of the bribes?

It is so sweet to see this begin to backfire on Mueller, Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein and of course the Clintons.

Now we just need a few more Senators - McCain is dirty on the fringe, and to sweeten the deal, a couple of Supremes all going down together.

Sessions recused himself so it was all up to Rosenstein. And surprise, surprise he selected a co-conspirator from the Obama Uranium One cover up.

I read that Comey received over six million for his services at Lockheed, before he was appointed Director of the FBI.
