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.

The racketeering scheme was conducted “with the consent of higher level officials” in Russia who “shared the proceeds” from the kickbacks, one agent declared in an affidavit years later.

I find it rather amazing that the FBI uncovered a Bribery Plot by the Russians that the FBI was part of from the beginning.

I read the story earlier and the only conclusion I can draw is that the entire TREASONOUS ACT was conducted by the previous administration and the FBI!

Comey saved her ass over emails. Will Sessions save her (rather substantial) ass over this?

We already know that the Clinton Foundation (aka bubba and the beast) and Hillary's brother, benefited from huge bribes for this deal. Check Hussein 0bama's accounts along with Valerie Jarrett, Samantha Power and all the others "inner circle" that should be swinging from ropes!

Message to Pres Trump: please direct AG Sessions to appoint an special prosecutor to investigate this. For once, let’s go on offense against the Deep State DOJ / FBI investigatory cabal.

I think Sessions wants nothing to do with this latest nor do I think he wants to touch anything associated with the name Clinton. With that said, he will shove it under the rug.

Accuse the accuser. A Clinton tactic as old as Bill's donated underwear. They bragged about this tactic. Accuse any potential accusers of your own deeds, thus inoculating yourself against any future scrutiny.

The Clintons used up all their creativity and became lazy after 1996. Still using the same old stale games.

Where are the U.S. Marshals today?

Are the marshals on the road rounding up these individuals?

If it were private folks engaged in such nefarious activity I would say send them to federal prison. For these public figures to have done this to all of us they should be stood against a wall and shot dead or hanged for treason. All of them, and any “Republicans” who had a hand in it. Drain the swamp. Clean the slate.

The US Marshals are busy tailing West Virginia middle aged women with fake prescriptions for opioids to get thru the day while watching their futures wane away from a war on coal.
