It Exists: DOJ Finds Letter Ordering Scrutiny of Uranium One, Hillary Clinton
daily beast ^ | 3/9/2019 | Betsy Woodruff

Posted on 03/09/2019 7:17:55 PM PST by Aquamarine

After it claimed no such document existed, the Justice Department just unearthed a letter Matt Whitaker delivered to the Utah U.S. attorney directing a review of how the department handled the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium One issues.

Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions wrote the letter on Nov. 22, 2017 for Utah U.S. Attorney John Huber. Matt Whitaker, who was Sessions’ chief of staff at the time, emailed the letter to Huber that day, writing, “As we discussed.” He also sent Huber a copy of a letter the Justice Department’s Congressional affairs chief sent to the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee on Nov. 13 of that year.

The existence of a letter documenting Sessions’ directive that the DOJ revisit probes of Trump’s top political foe is a surprise because a department lawyer said in court last year that senior officials insisted it didn’t exist. The liberal nonprofit American Oversight obtained the letter through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request they filed on Nov. 22, 2017––the same day Whitaker emailed Sessions’ letter to Huber.....

B. 17th Letter’s buds have done squat wrt obtaining traction re: “Lock her up!”.

Just fyi, #2, this thread is about Sessions, Humber, Whitaker, the DOJ, and actual letters.

Not about the "17th letter guy".

Or do they intersect somehow? Please explain, keeping in mind that is a forbidden topic.

Everybody knew...
Prosecutors ask FBI agents for info on Uranium One deal Dec. 21, 2017
On the orders of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Justice Department prosecutors have begun asking FBI agents to explain the evidence they found in a now dormant criminal investigation into a controversial uranium deal that critics have linked to Bill and Hillary Clinton, multiple law enforcement officials told NBC News.

They just didn't want to talk about it and hoped that POTUS wouldn't be in office any more and they could shut it all down!

I know this has been said over and over.... BUT, until I actually see actual indictments, this is a myth. I don’t want it to be a myth and I also don’t want Lucy pulling away the football either.

If I were Huber I’d hire a body guard. Investigating the Clintons is risky.

...this is a myth.

a.) Congress sent requests to investigage to the DOJ = FACT.

b.) Sessions, through Whitaker, sent orders to Huber to investigate = FACT.

The only MYTH would be believing that Huber did NOT and has NOT conducted investigations as ordered.

No leaks.

Stand by.

Back in mid-2018, we were saying that the UTAH AG Sessions appointed (and can seat a grand jury),
just so happens to be in the jurisdiction where much of the Clintons' Uranium One deal was centered.
Longshot, but THAT UTAH GUY could nab even MUELLER and cancel the insurance policy.........

BACKSTORY REFERENCE----Uranium company deal nearly done;
Utah town and mill part of sales pkg to subsidiary of Russian nuclear agency
By Judy Fahys / The Salt Lake Tribune / December 13, 2010 / FR Posted on 4/3/2018, 11:52:50 AM by bitt

A Canadian mining company is close to finalizing a deal that will give a Russian company controlling interest in its uranium operations, which include a Utah town, a uranium mill and thousands of acres of claims.

In October, four members of Congress urged the U.S. Treasury Department to block plans by Uranium One to sell majority ownership to the mining company, Atomredmetzoloto (ARMZ), whose parent company is Rosatom, the Russian nuclear agency, to protect national security. Since then, the Treasury Department has approved Uranium One's plans, as has the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Utah Division of Radiation Control.

What scenario are you referring to is a "myth?"

All of this is planned and orchestrated beautifully by the Maestro. Sessions had a role to play. He feigned incompetence, because no incoming AG was going to automatically turn around and put handcuffs on the Obamas and Clintons on 01/21, while the Deep State still infested government.

Sessions did the work behind the scenes. NO LEAKS! Everyone thought Sessions was a blundering idiot, including many people here on FR.

Hillary Clinton & Robert Mueller Linked in Russian Uranium Exchange
American Liberty PAC ^ | Jun 20, 2017 | Kirk

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton facilitated a uranium exchange with Russian law enforcement by former FBI Director (and current chief Deep State inquisitor) Robert Mueller. The exchange was exposed via a recent Wikileaks publication of a secret cable between Hillary’s State Department and the Russian embassy.

Hillary sent Mueller to Moscow with orders to turn over a 10 gram sample of highly enriched uranium (HEU) which was obtained during a shadowy 2006 nuclear “sting” operation conducted in the Georgian Republic. The ostensible reason for the transfer was to engender further trust between Russian and American law enforcement in the area of nuclear materials and to learn more about how to trace nuclear materials. But when it comes to Hillary and Russian uranium interests, the shady Uranium One deal cannot pass unnoted.

There still has been no real investigation into how Hillary gave permission for a Russian company to acquire a quarter of the North American uranium reserves after Russian interests poured hundreds of millions into the Clinton Foundation and gave Bill Clinton six figure speaking fees. At the very least, this exchange raises serious questions about the ability of Robert Mueller to do his job as special prosecutor on the Russian collusion charges since he already has connections to major figures in Russian law enforcement.

Special Counsel Mueller Literally Handed Uranium to the Russians!
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

We all know that the Russian Collusion investigation is nothing but a game to try and distract the population from actually caring about the day to day running of the country, but the charade has gone too far and some serious questions need to be asked; most especially of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. WikiLeaks has put out a document that details then FBI Director Mueller’s itinerary on his visit to Russia to deliver 10 grams of Enriched Uranium. One more time for those who missed it…Mueller hand delivered Highly Enriched Uranium to the Russian government! (Excerpt) Read more at investmentwatchblog.com ...

Gohmert: Mueller “Covering” Involvement In Clinton-Uranium Deal While Trying To Have A “Coup” Against Trump
FR Posted By Ian Schwartz / June 9, 2018

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said on Saturday special counsel Robert Mueller is trying to cover up his involvement with the Uranium One deal that benefited the Clintons while “trying to have a coup against the president.” REP. LOUIE GOHMERT (R-TX): Robert Mueller has done more damage during his 12 years as FBI director than any other — probably all directors put together... He has wasted money right and left. Amazingly, he’s hired people like [Andrew] Weissmann that worked with him and [Rod] Rosenstein in investigating the Russian illegal efforts to obtain our uranium which they quashed information in order to allow the sale to go through so that Hillary could get the $145 million for her foundation. So it is really outrageous. He’s covering for himself at the same time he’s trying to have a coup against the president.

Keep in mind that Sessions was pretty much forced into taking action.

Sessions directs prosecutors to 'evaluate certain issues' involving Uranium One and Clinton, leaves door open on special counsel
In a letter first obtained by Fox News, the Justice Department responded to July 27 and September 26 requests from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and other committee members, who called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the matters in question.

A request, eh? How proper.
He sure as hell wasn't going to do anything on his own
without outside pressure from Goodlatte and the others.
He would have just sat on his hands otherwise.

We’ll see. I seem to remember the “thorough” investigation the FBI did of HIllary’s emails which entailed: 1) not swearing her testimony under oath; 2) losing what was written down as to what she testified to; 3) not demanding notebook computers whose hard drives are now smashed; and 4) letting her decide on her own that 30,000 emails were not relevant and didn’t need to be turned over as they dealt with yoga, her daughter’s wedding, etc.

Yes, a very thorough “investigation”.

Items from Clinton Foundation's Dealings with Russian Uranium
Independent Journal Review | April 2015 | Michael Hausum
FR Posted by Beautiful_Gracious_Skies

The New York Times April 2015 published an article about the Clinton Foundation, its receipt of millions of dollars from foreign governments and other interests, and the U.S. government's involvement in Russia's stated goal to expand its control of the world's uranium market. All while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State. The NY Times didn't reach a conclusion, but one question looms very large:

As Secretary of State, did Hillary influence an international deal giving a Russian company 20% ownership of America's uranium production, in return for millions of dollars of cash donations to the Clinton Foundation?

Here is a list of 11 questionable items forming a chain of events:

1. September of 2005: Canadian Frank Giustra visits Kazakhstan with Bill Clinton. Days later, his company UrAsia wins a major uranium deal with the country.

2. 2006: Giustra donates $31 million to the Clinton Foundation.

3. February 2007: UrAsia merges with Uranium One and expands into the U.S..

4. June 2008: Russian atomic agency Rosatom begins talks to acquire Uranium One.

5. 2008 to 2010: Uranium One and UrAsia investors donate $8.65 million to Clinton Foundation.

6. June 2009: Rosatom acquires 17% of Uranium One.

7. 2010 to 2011: Millions more donated by Uranium One investors to Clinton Foundation.

8. June 2010: Rosatom requests Committee on Foreign Investment (of which the State Department is a member and its approval is needed) to approve a majority ownership in Uranium One, PROMISING NOT TO PURCHASE 100% of it, NOR TAKE IT PRIVATE.

9. June 2010: Bill Clinton receives $500,000 to speak at a conference held by the Russian investment bank involved in the Rosatom transactions.

10. October 2010: Committee APPROVES Rosatom's request to ACQUIRE A MAJORITY SHARE in Uranium One.

11. January 2013: Rosatom PURCHASES REMAINDER of Uranium One and takes it PRIVATE!.
