Strange. Russia paid $1.3 billion for something they can’t even use.
And, coincidentally, at the same time multiple Russian players were putting $145 million into the Clinton Foundation and into Bill’s back pocket.
And coincidentally, Russian agents were all around the edges with bribes, kickbacks, and other nefarious activities.
Maybe the Russians weren’t entirely interested in uranium? Hmm?
The very laxity of the FBI in reporting what was going on in the middle of the negotiations simply demonstrates that, whatever the Russians were really buying, the FBI was unwilling to stop it. That then goes to the more recent events involving the same FBI.
Mueller may be dirty, who knows. But it’s what he does right now that matters, even if it is for the wrong reasons, like to protect himself.
A number of media outlets make a big deal about this "unanimous approval" by the CFIUS, but they conveniently fail to point out that every one of the nine agencies is led by a political appointee -- all of them appointed by Obama at the time.
The most damning thing about that CFIUS approval was that it was troublesome enough to involve an FBI investigation after the fact, but Congress was kept completely in the dark about it.
