The informant worked for a DC Swamp lobbying firm that was hired by Tenex, Tenex, a subsidiary of the Russian government-owned company Rosatom - to grease the skids for a deal to buy a Canadian company, Uranium One, which had substantial mining operations in the USA. According to The Hill website, the deal put about 20 percent of US uranium into the hands of the Russian company.
The informant recognized evidence of criminal behavior in the dealings he witnessed and voluntarily went to the FBI with it.
>His work helped the Justice Department secure convictions against Russia’s top commercial nuclear executive in the United States, a Russian financier in New Jersey, and the head of a U.S. uranium trucking company in what prosecutors said was a long-running racketeering scheme involving bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering.
>Those charges, based on evidence gathered in 2009, were not taken to court until 2014. And that was supposed to be the end of it.
Now, it also happens that the deal for Tenex to buy Uranium One had to be approved by nine federal agencies and signed off on by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, which she did shortly after her husband Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 to give a speech in Moscow sponsored by a Russian bank. The Clinton Foundation also received millions of dollars in “charitable” donations from parties with an interest in the Tenex / Uranium One deal. It happened, too, that the CEO of Uranium One at the time of the Tenex sale, Frank Guistra, was one of eleven board members of the Clinton Foundation.
I wonder if the American uranium ended up getting smuggled into Iran, with Russian involvement?
Uranium samples can be analyzed to identify their origin. Russia would not want their fingerprints on Iranian nukes - especially not after they had been used.
It’s all very incestuous as you point out. Problem is we have to get the message out. The drivebys won’t touch something like this.And if they did they would lie their asses off anyway.
