Senator: Obama Admin. Misled About Uranium One
TruNews ^ | Dec 12, 2017 | Rick Wiles

Posted on 12/13/2017 3:59:24 AM PST by smileyface

In a letter Monday to Energy Secretary Rick Perry and Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairwoman Kristine Svinicki, Senate Environment & Public Works Committee Chairman John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) is demanding an explanation for how U.S. uranium left the country after the Uranium One deal.

The senator, who represents the home state of three of the company’s uranium recovery facilities, said he registered “strong concerns” about the 2010 deal with President Barack Obama. He said he now believes the response he received, and the “process” through which he received it, were “misleading.”

He notes that in March of 2011, then-NRC Chairman Greg Jaczko said that neither Uranium One nor the subsidiary of the Russian-government-owner Rosatom held the necessary export license to ship U.S. uranium out of the country. That assessment was repeated in the NRC’s recommendation to approve the Uranium One sale. However, beginning in 2012, Uranium One was able to begin exporting uranium without an export license in a move called “piggy-backing,” where it was listed merely as a supplier on another company’s export license. However, that uranium that left the country was supposed to return for “future processing.”

Not only did that uranium leave the U.S., but it was eventually exported out of Canada.

Headline is misleading.

Did the 0bama Admin mislead, or were they misled?

Active or passive mood is not clear in the headline.

Oh no. The Obola administration went far past “misleading” into outright lies and propaganda.

The uranium was ultimately given
—by Obama and Clinton and Mueller)
to N.Korea and Iran.

And not one of them is in handcuffs.

Misled is also active in the past tense. Obama misled the world about uranium deal with Russians.

“Barrasso said that in addition to Jaczko’s “misleading response,” the Energy Department hid its role in approving the subsequent exports. “

Also see excerpt above.

Barrasso was misled by Obama admin. Headline looks ok to me.

Thoughtful Americans are asking: we know the Clintons got a $145 million bribe payable to the Clinton Foundation, but how much did Russia actually pay the US for the uranium?

Anybody ever see a figure on that?

What happened to the cash for the actual uranium sale? Did that money go into OFA--Obama’s slush fund for revolution? Or maybe into some offshore accounts?......

Particularly interesting is that immediately after exiting the white House, the Obama's traveled far and wide in such a short time -- their itinerary included Indonesia, Bali, French Polynesia; all those out-of-the-way places w/ infamous offshore banks that have numbered accounts.

THIS WE KNOW: the conniving Clintons took uranium.....a national strategic US asset......and sold it for their personal gain.

That smells like the infamous Teapot Dome scandal. Law professor Jonathan Turley said the Clintons uranium scheme .... "could be criminal." Turley (or somebody) needs to address the Clinton criminality in this context.

=======================================

More egregiously (to me) is that the criminal Clintons used proprietary information----intel the govt uses to secure the safety and security of we, the people.....to carry out their criminal acts.

I consider it reprehensible that Secy Hillary routinely sent her itinerary to the Clinton Foundation, giving the Clintons govt info to plot their scams.

THE NYT REPORTED: Money poured into The Clinton Foundation from a constellation of people with ties to Uranium One or UrAsia, the company that originally acquired Uranium One’s most valuable asset: the Kazakh mines. Without those assets, the Russians would have had no interest in the deal: “It wasn’t the goal to buy the Wyoming mines. The goal was to acquire the Kazakh assets, which are very good,” Mr. Novikov, the Rosatom spokesman, said in an interview.

BILLYBOOBOO TO THE RESCUE---This gambit by Bill Clinton (meddling in a foreign election) got the Russian uranium scheme going. Bill's calculated handshake was a bonanza for the Kazahk president's re-election. Nazarbayev responded in kind and signed-off on the initial phase of Russia's takeover of US uranium assets.

Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev greets former
president Clinton (L) in Almaty on September 6, 2005.

CIRCA 2015 A Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter claims that former President Bill Clinton falsely denied hosting a meeting with Kazakh officials when she tried to write a story that involved his foundation several years ago.

Jo Becker, who works on the newspaper's investigative desk, said Clinton only confirmed the meeting took place after she informed him there were photographs.

Clinton's role in a deal that involved Kazakhstan, the Russian government, and a man who donated millions to the president's charitable foundation were detailed in a story Becker published on Thursday.

That article revisited some of her earlier reporting and included information from the upcoming book "Clinton Cash," which is generating widespread headlines amid a flurry of reports suggesting it will raise serious questions about Clinton's family foundation.

The donor in question is Canadian mining executive Frank Giustra, a longtime friend of the former president who has given tens of millions to the Clinton Foundation in the past few years. (A couple of hours after the NYT story was published, Giustra issued a defiant statement. We've included that below.)

Becker initially wrote about the February 2007 meeting between Clinton, Giustra, and executives from the state-owned nuclear company Kazatomprom in 2008. The gathering took place at Clinton's home in Chappaqua, New York.

"When I first contacted both the Clinton foundation — Mr. Clinton's spokesman — and Mr. Giustra, they denied any such meeting ever took place," Becker recalled in footage aired by Fox News on Thursday.

However, Becker said Clinton and Giustra both changed their stories after she confronted them with evidence to the contrary.

"And then when we told them, 'Well we already talked to the head of Kazatomprom, who not only told us all about the meeting, but actually has a picture of him and Bill at the home in Chappaqua, and that he proudly displayed on his office wall.' They then acknowledged that yes, the meeting had taken place," Becker continued in the television interview.

The purpose of the meeting, then Kazatomprom President Moukhtar Dzhakishev told The Times, was to discuss Kazakhstan potentially buying a 10% stake in Westinghouse, a US nuclear company. Becker's 2008 story also noted one of Giustra's companies secured a deal to buy uranium deposits from Kazatomprom in 2005.

That agreement was made after Clinton accompanied Giustra on a trip to Kazakhstan. During the trip, Giustra and Clinton met with Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev.

Clinton issued a public statement praising the Kazakh leader despite his questionable, antidemocratic record. The Times called the praise a "propaganda coup" for Nazarbayev. (he later "won relection" w/ an unbelievable 90% of the vote)

"Just months after the Kazakh pact was finalized, Mr. Clinton's charitable foundation received its own windfall: a $31.3 million donation from Mr. Giustra that had remained a secret until he acknowledged it last month. The gift, combined with Mr. Giustra’s more recent and public pledge to give the William J. Clinton Foundation an additional $100 million, secured Mr. Giustra a place in Mr. Clinton’s inner circle," wrote Becker and another reporter, Don Van Natta.

A spokesperson for the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership told Business Insider they are "working on a formal statement" in response to a request for comment on Thursday. Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership is an initiative of the Clinton Foundation that was cofounded by Clinton and Giustra in 2007. A Clinton Foundation spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.

Not only did that uranium leave the U.S., but it was eventually exported out of Canada.

Lucky for 'the people of the Obama Administration' and the "intelligence community' traitors who helped them, the press doesn't give a damn about this story because the people who might be hurt have a "D" by their names.

Eff the FBI traitors and their CIA helpers...

"Just months after Billy nailed the Kazakh deal, The Clinton Foundation received a $31.3 million donation from Canadian wheeler/dealer Frank Giustra.That donation remained a secret until the Canadian Giustra pledged an additional $100 million to the "do-good" Clinton Foundation.

Watta frickin' phony the Canadian "do-gooder" is....nobody on the face of the earth is THAT altruistic.

Theses moves reek of payoffs, kickbacks, bribes, money laundering and tax evasion....in short, gross criminality.

The press, NSA,CIA and FBI don't see it because they're all part of the thug arm of the corrupt democrat party.

Remember, this mealy-mouthed comment came from a REPUBLICAN senator.

Republicans bring a knife to a gunfight; Democrats bring a RPG.
