    No surprise that a Trump advisor took money from a Russian propaganda organ. Trump's reaction to Russia, his reaction and positive words for Putin, and the pulling of the weapons for Ukraine plank from the GOP platform just proves that proRussian thinking and pro Russian policies is a cancer that has infested the entire Trump administration.

    Where have you gone Joe McCarthy now that we need you.

    Luckily they got rid of him before he became a problem. At least he didn't sell off 20% of our Uranium deposits to the Russians like Hillary Clinton did. She made a lot of her friends and campaign donors very wealthy off that deal.

    You should probably check the facts. The Uranium belonged to Toronto.

    When did Russia become one of our worst enemies? Was it before or after Clinton was paid for $500,000 for a speech in Moscow, or before they helped sell Uranium One to Russians?

    Russia’s nuclear energy agency, which also builds nuclear weapons, bought a controlling stake in Uranium One. The company has mines, mills and tracts of land in Wyoming, Utah and other U.S. states equal to about 20 percent of U.S. uranium production capacity.

    So, to be clear, the 20 percent is capacity, not uranium that has been produced.

    Given that Russia doesn’t have the licenses to export uranium outside the United States, it was likely more interested in Uranium One’s assets in Kazakhstan, the world’s largest uranium producer, our colleagues said.

    As the New York Times has reported, the deal was made in separate transactions from 2009 to 2013. It made Russia’s atomic energy agency one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Russian President Vladimir Putin “closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.”

    Again, there is a big difference between production and capacity. Another problem is that the U.S. doesn’t even produce that much uranium. In 2015, it produced just two percent of the world’s global supply. Most of its commercial value these days is in its use in commercial nuclear reactors, which produce electricity around the world.

    But back to Clinton for a second. Nine U.S. government agencies had to sign off on that deal before it became official, per another Politifact report:


    Sponsored




    Trump is also wrong that Clinton alone allowed the transfer.

    The Kremlin’s 2010 purchase of a controlling stake in Uranium One had to be approved by the nine members of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

    That included Clinton as secretary of state, but also the secretaries of the Treasury (the chairman of the committee), Defense, Justice, Commerce, Energy and Homeland Security as well as the the heads of the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and the Office of Science and Technology Policy. The deal also had to be okayed by the independent Nuclear Regulatory Commission as well as Utah’s nuclear regulator.

    That’s a lot of government bodies.

    Advertisement





    Moreover, there is no evidence that the deal even made it to her desk. Confidentiality laws also make it hard to know exactly who was involved in the deal, so no one can say for sure what Clinton’s role was. For her part, Clinton said last summer that she wasn’t involved in the review of the deal and didn’t direct the State Department one way or the other during negotiations.

    What we do know is that America did not give Russia 20 percent of its uranium.

    File this in your “Another lie Trump said” cabinet and have a good day.

    Soon, Uranium One began to snap up companies with assets in the United States. In April 2007, it announced the purchase of a uranium mill in Utah and more than 38,000 acres of uranium exploration properties in four Western states, followed quickly by the acquisition of the Energy Metals Corporation and its uranium holdings in Wyoming, Texas and Utah. That deal made clear that Uranium One was intent on becoming “a powerhouse in the United States uranium sector with the potential to become the domestic supplier of choice for U.S. utilities,” the company declared.

    As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

    And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.


    What facts, those facts?

    Flynn is/was a Russian Agent, and Trump's Administration was incompetent enough to appoint him the head of the NSC.

    And people still wonder why Trump (and his Administration) have become a Worldwide laughing stock?

    My info came from the NY Times before they became anti-Trump parodies, and so did hers, yet she left off the most important part, that $2.35 million flowed into the Clinton Foundation. Imagine that, huh? Not to mention her perverted hubby who actually DID grab ******* (yet they somehow still respect him) got paid $500K for a speech in Moscow.

    ". . .a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. . ."

    Maybe Uranium One "owed" that to the Clinton's like America "owed" $400 million to the Middle Least.

    I would explain it to her but she is very upset and tossing out the "you are ignorant" mantra. She also doesn't acknowledge the arrests at Uranium One for illegally selling stakes in uranium deposits to foreign companies.

    No excuse for Michael Flynn but Trump did the right thing firing him. It shows Trump cares about who he has around him and their actions.

    NOT so much for Obama. He knew she was crooked from the start and yet he let her get away with a lot of shady deals and corruption. Hillary should be thrown in jail for treason and for "pay to play".....

    http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-...ndation-as-russians-gained-us-uranium-assets/

    Things like this should transcend politics, but sadly, the left wing thrives on corruption. As long as they are the ones perpetrating it.
