Gorka: If Uranium One deal happened in 1950s, those involved would get electric chair
The Hill ^ | 10/27/17 | Julia Manchester

Posted on 10/27/2017 8:47:30 AM PDT by markomalley

Former White House adviser Sebastian Gorka said on Thursday that if the Uranium One deal took place in the 1950's, those involved would have been subject to the electric chair.  

"If this had happened in the 1950s, there would be people up on treason charges right now. The Rosenbergs, okay? This is equivalent to what the Rosenbergs did, and those people got the chair. Think about it. Giving away nuclear capability to our enemies, that's what we're talking about," Gorka told Fox News' Sean Hannity.

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed in 1953 after being convicted of espionage for the Soviet Union.

Gorka's comments come after The Hill reported last week that prior to the Obama administration approving the sale of Uranium One, the FBI had collected evidence that officials from the Russian nuclear sector were taking part in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering as a means to gain access to the U.S. energy market. 

The sale of the Canadian mining company to Russia's Atomic Energy Agency, Rosatom, required the approval of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, which includes representatives from several federal agencies, including the State Department.

Gorka, on Thursday, called the deal "treasonous." 

The Senate Judiciary Committee announced last week that it was opening an inquiry into the Uranium One sale.

The House Oversight and Intelligence panels on Tuesday also announced a joint investigation that will look into how the Justice Department handled the deal, which sold more than 20 percent of the U.S. uranium supply to the Russian nuclear giant Rosatom.

I wonder if the results of this inquiry will come back on a quicker time line than the latest document release of JFK files.

I don’t get it, Hillary, Comey, Obama et al commit treason and there’s nary a word and definitely no substantive investigation with any accountability.

We’ve “progressed” since 1950. It is no longer necessary to hold people accountable. /s

It just struck me. Where are the seventeen (17) spy agencies who all agreed on .....? Didn’t they say there was collusion? Did they ever say who the colluding parties were? Curious minds want to know!

Globalists aren’t going to stop selling out America’s military and economic security. “We cannot wish globalism away,” warned GW Bush.

That was then when the communists had not taken over our media and government.

Now the object of scorn is the US citizen who wants the laws enforced.

““We cannot wish globalism away,” warned GW Bush.”

Bush’s solution is to embrace it instead. Screw the Bushes!
