The Obama Administration’s Uranium One Scandal

National Review ^ | 10/21/2017 | Andrew C. McCarthy

[Robert DeLong]

Not only the Clintons are implicated in a uranium deal with the Russians that compromised national-security interests.

Let’s put the Uranium One scandal in perspective: The cool half-million bucks the Putin regime funneled to Bill Clinton was five times the amount it spent on those Facebook ads — the ones the media-Democrat complex ludicrously suggests swung the 2016 presidential election to Donald Trump.

The Facebook-ad buy, which started in June 2015 — before Donald Trump entered the race — was more left-wing agitprop (ads pushing hysteria on racism, immigration, guns, etc.) than electioneering. The Clintons’ own long-time political strategist Mark Penn estimates that just $6,500 went to actual electioneering. (You read that right: 65 hundred dollars.) By contrast, the staggering $500,000 payday from a Kremlin-tied Russian bank for a single speech was part of a multi-million-dollar influence-peddling scheme to enrich the former president and his wife, then–secretary of state Hillary Clinton. At the time, Russia was plotting — successfully — to secure U.S. government approval for its acquisition of Uranium One, and with it, tens of billions of dollars in U.S. uranium reserves.

Lock them up & throw away the key.

But, the Clintoons had no intent to be called on the carpet...

Why did the Russians need to pay the Clintons for our uranium:

I just found out something JUICY! Vadim Mikerin is the American Based Russian in charge of the Uranium scam. He got a light sentence of 4 years to keep this scam quiet from Congress. Given all the stuff he was actually did he could have got at least 20 as the article shows. Here the JUICY detail: The sentencing judge is an OBAMA stooge! Theodore D. Chuang, The same stooge who held up Trump's immigration order!

Does anybody know how to check if somebody is still in Federal jail? Rather than getting the Confidential informant CS-1 to talk a prosecutor could make a deal with the jailed Mikerin. At the very least get some protection for this guy before Putin or Hillary kills him!

This delineates the awesomeness of preventing the Clintons from being President.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

The Clinton’s are immune from prosecution. They are royalty.

[ronnie raygun]

If there ever comes a day when she is locked we will see a mass scatter of roaches in every direction running for cover

[Robert DeLong]

Nor would they be if Hillary had won the slam dunk everyone predicted.

TRUMPs DOJ & FBI are protecting the Clintons and Obama.

The decisive moment in Watergate came when the Republican leadership on the Hill met with Nixon and told him that they could no longer defend him. Nixon stepping down became a bipartisan demand. The alternative would have been impeachment. This is how a healthy political system in a healthy republic should resolve such a situation.

Bill Clinton would have been forced from office had a single Democrat in the Senate had the integrity to break omerta and stand up to party-line defense of corruption. None did. Some thought John Glenn would do it, but he was bought off with a carnival ride. Many thought Robert Byrd would do it, but he consulted with Plutarch and his conscience, and decided against a profile in courage. Decades of sporting his rhetorical toga, and when his moment came, he turned out to be a weasel. The Romans would have been ashamed of him.

Does Hillary deserve to be prosecuted and sent to jail? Yes. So does her husband. But unless it is bipartisan, the next Democratic president will order the prosecution of the last Republican president, and maybe more than one. Antifa will be running the Justice Department. That's the problem. Every change of power between the parties will become a moment for revenge. That is how republics die. We are in very dangerous territory, and we are here because there is no Democrat of rank with enough courage and integrity to break with a partisan coverup.

"Every change of power between the parties will become a moment for revenge." Exactly. Bingo!

Lou Dobbs: "There is no clear statement as to why we would give up, for any reason, any price, 20% of our uranium in this country. And that is a question that is left open still unanswered. and secondly, have you ever heard of anyone putting $145 million, at one moment, into the hands of the Clinton foundation? And the answer is, of course not. These questions most basic and fundamental, were armed by the very committee made up of the very agencies, departments, and individuals responsible for national security. . this is the biggest Obama scandal. I think it may well turn out to be the biggest scandal in American political history."
