Firm Co-Founded By Hillary’s Campaign Chair Lobbies For Russia’s Uranium One
The Daily Caller ^ | 4/29/15 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 04/29/2015 8:52:26 AM PDT by Nachum

Chalk it up to a small world or to a tangled web, but Uranium One, the Russian-owned uranium mining company at the center of a recent scandal involving the Clintons and a close Canadian business partner, has lobbied the State Department through a firm co-founded by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman.

Senate records show that The Podesta Group has lobbied the State Department on behalf of Uranium One — once in 2012, when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, and once in 2015.

Uranium One paid The Podesta Group $40,000 to lobby the State Department, the Senate, the National Park Service and the National Security Council for “international mining projects,” according to a July 20, 2012 filing.

Clinton left the State Department on Feb. 1, 2013.

And according to a disclosure filed April 20, Uranium One spent $20,000 lobbying the Senate and State Department on the same issue.

And for Podesta, and for his “Center for American Progress” and also “Media Matters,” and all those other liberal “advocacy” groups out there. This is where they get their funding, along with Soros.

Great find, Nachum.

My reaction is how IS she going to survive all this? Everything looks worse and worse, and amounts to much more than lesser boobs got by with, to land them in prison.

I don’t think she finishes. Won’t the feds HAVE to investigate to ever hope to prove equal justice is not a myth— a mantra they scream about for their supporters?

It is getting easier by the day to believe that the Clintons actually have a signed deal with Satan, perhaps as Shaitan. When finally their scandal actually bids to knock them down, everything happens. We get earthquakes, 3; we get Baltimore; we get Iran taking ships in the Strait of Hormuz; we get lots of stuff to take the Clintons out of mind until it is all "old news" and the Clintons skate again.

And, by the way, the uranium deal has a major precedent in Mr. Bill's administration - he sold gave missile technology to China so that China could develop MIRVs and refine their targeting.

The Clinton crime syndicate has been active for 30 or so years. Nothing new.

...the uranium deal has a major precedent - the Clinton/China connection--- missile technology to China so that China could develop MIRVs and refine their targeting.......

The Clintons bagged millions in kickbacks from the Chi/Coms for Loral Space technology---technology transfers paid for by American taxpayers. There's also the $350 Million the Chinese government gave the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation" for "favors" Mr. Clinton performed for the Chinese (ala technology transfer)......and you have quite a pile of illicit money.

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

Here's the Harry Reid/China/Clinton Foundation connection:

(1) Harry Reid's son Rory is in business w/ the Chi/Coms on a multi-billion dollar solar energy project; Cliven Bundy and his land are standing in the way.

(2) Reports say Bill Clinton recently went to China to panhandle for his tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative" foundation.

(3) The "Clinton Global Initiative" (NOT KNOWN for giving out US grants)---gave Harry Reid's granddaughter a grant for her Brooklyn theatre (what is the Brooklyn theatre's connection to "global initiatives?")

(4) A Nevada energy company also gave Reid's granddaughter's theatre group a grant.

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

"Money laundering" comes to mind. Could the Chinese be financing the Reid's solar project through donations to the Clinton Foundations....which is then laundered to Reid's granddaughter?

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

REFERENCE----HARRY REID IS LIVID THAT HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OUTED AS A RECIPIENT OF LAUNDERED CAMPAIGN CASH---Reid lashed out at reporters, saying, “My granddaughter has been the target of harassing phone calls, strangers tracking her down, knocking on her door and negative, unwanted attention on the Internet.” “This has gone too far and it needs to stop now,” Reid said. “I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.”

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

Besides the "jewelry company" financed by her grandfather, Ryan Elisabeth Reid runs the Sprat Theater Company, a small theater in Brooklyn, which is also coming under scrutiny. According to Sprat’s Theatre Company Web site, it has received grants/contributions from:

<><> the Clinton Global Initiative (theatre connection to Clinton's global do-goodism?),

<><> two major Las Vegas foundations: Caesar’s Foundation, and the NV Energy Foundation.

NOTE NV Energy Foundation---is a non-profit division of NV Energy (a public utility). The NV Energy utility is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company which took over in 2013....and is now owned by a Warren Buffet unit.

BTW, here's Harry w/ his grand-daughter....the one who got $31,000 in laundered campaign funds for her "jewelry company" and grants from Clinton and Nevada energy foundations.

Reid and granddaughter Ryan Elisabeth Reid.

New Yorker magazine confirms Bill Clinton pocketed $500,000 for a speech in Moscow that was paid for by “a Russian investment bank" that had ties to the Kremlin” at the time of the lucrative Uranium One deal.

The NYT reported this week on the unseemly transfer of cash to the Clintons from parties interested in a major uranium deal. The Canadian company selling Uranium One to the Russians donated $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation. And Russians tied to the deal gave Bill Clinton $500,000 for a Moscow speech. So critical was the deal that it needed the approval of the US State Department.....facilitated by Hillary.

The Clinton Foundation got Millions from a Russian who trades with Iran: Victor Pinchuk owns the EastOne Group investing company and the Interpipe Group. He is the second richest man in Ukraine AND the largest individual donor to the Clinton Foundation......the Foundation spinoff "The Clinton Global Initiative" received millions from Pinchuk while Hillary was Secy of State.

<><> Was Uranium One corporate money ever deposited offshore?

<><> In Russian banks? Maybe Sberbank or Vnesheconombank?

<><> Maybe funneled from there to secret numbered accounts in Zurich and Geneva?

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

<><> Maybe deposits in secret accounts held by Obama?

We peons are asked to believe that Obama was on the golf course when foreign policy decisions were being made......looking like he "didn't know" about all these radical changes in foreign policy.

Heck, it wasn't b/c Valerie "forgot" to tell him.

<><> Maybe the deal was Obama pleading abject ignorance about US foreign policy being jerked around by the Clintons.......as long as he got his cut of the Clintons' foreign policy finagling?
