FBI uncovered Russian bribery plot before Obama administration approved controversial nuclear
The Hill ^ | Oct 17, 2017 | JOHN SOLOMON AND ALISON SPANN

Posted on 10/17/2017 7:09:18 AM PDT by bitt

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.

Someone pass this on to Robert Menendez. He may feel a bit unequal in treatment before the law?

So, racketeering proof, naw, that’s an understatement. This is treason, pure and simple. Aiding our communist enemy with uranium. TREASON. I used to want to see these jerks in jail. Now I want to see them hang.

Mueller was Director, McCabe in change. Comey knew, Rosenstein knew.

Can this get any worse? Tell me the CIA didn’t know.

The DC swamp is in fact larger than the Atchafalaya Basin.

Military technology to the Chinese in the 90's in exchange for cash thru third parties, or American uranium sold to the Russians in the next century. All illegal and all Clinton.

Would someone check for Jeff Sessions testicles in some aides purse?

If you read the whole article, breaking with a long standing FR tradition, you may or may not be surprised when you land on this paragraph from deep inside the piece. Some names familiar to us all.

”The investigation was ultimately supervised by then-U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein, an Obama appointee who now serves as President Trump’s deputy attorney general, and then-Assistant FBI Director Andrew McCabe, now the deputy FBI director under Trump, Justice Department documents show.”
