Paul: Obama White House, Congress Should Both Consider Investigating Hillary Clinton’s Uranium Deal
Breitbart.com ^ | 23 April 2015 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 04/23/2015 11:47:20 AM PDT by Rockitz

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), a 2016 GOP presidential candidate, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Thursday morning that President Barack Obama should investigate former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton—and that he’s pushing for a congressional investigation as well—after a New York Times report on Wednesday evening based on an explosive new book uncovered her role in a shady Uranium deal.

Paul, who was previously briefed on the findings of the forthcoming Peter Schweizer book Clinton Cash, said:

This really has been the particular case of the Clinton Cash that bothers me the most and that should bother voters the most. We now have a uranium company that is control of 20 percent of the uranium mining in North America—that’s owned by the Russians. This deal had to be approved by Hillary Clinton and it turns out that the stockholders in that company gave $145 million to Hillary Clinton’s foundation. I can’t imagine how she could be a part of the decision-making process while she received so much money in her foundation—$145 million.

Paul specifically said that President Obama should be outraged at this, and should personally demand an investigation into the matter:

I think there are some questions that have to be investigated. If I were President Obama, I would want to know what other potential deals was she in charge of where she received donations to the foundation during the same period of time. Really it is a question—there is a sense of impropriety, or an appearance of impropriety here, where they’re accepting money from shareholders of a company that was then sold to the Russians at the same time. So I just don’t see any reason why the Clinton Foundation should be accepting any money from foreign countries or from foreigners.

Where do you think all this information is coming from?

Trey Gowdy has been quietly taking the sworn depositions of people involved in the Benghazi investigation.

Sworn depositions are done under oath and lying can cause people to go to jail for perjury.

Ask yourself why Gowdy’s investigation of Benghazi could overlap with Clinton's abuse of State Department power and accepting huge cash payments from foreign interests , some perhaps hostile to the United Sates, in exchange for quid pro quo Foreign Policy actions for those foreign interests and you get to the heart of the matter.

And the reason Democrats are panicking

We might even learn where Gaddafi's 2 Trillion Dollar European financial empire went after all.

I suspect Hillary is going to be a difficult sell even to RATs for 2016.

They (that is, the Chicago faction) seem to be going after her in an attempt to get her out of the race without damaging the 'Rat brand. The push now is so that the replacement that the Chicago fascists favor will still have time to mount a campaign.

HRC must know this. It is a matter of how much damage her greed and lust for power will impell her to take in order to gain the prize she seeks.

I do as well and locally they block out Republicans from even reaching a vote in the general election.

Years ago they changed the rules to top two challengers, not one from each party.

The Democrat super majority also passed another 45 cents or so a gallon as a gas tax per gallon as of yet to be added to the cost of driving in CA.

My understanding is the scope of the Gowdy-led Benghazi committee is limited to Benghazi. And I don’t think we can expect anything other than bluster from it

The way this is going you may find contractor connections through black ops that had to pay the SEC OF STATE for the contract to operate there.
I would review it if I were Gowdy.

There needs to be a national campaign to stop the madness.

Something to the effect of, “Americans do not trust Hillary Clonton. Why are the Democrats supporting what most Americans do not want and more importantly, with a bankroll of several hundred million, what are Democrats hiding?”

Play it everywhere over and over.

What will we see?

Seriously, what evidence to you have that any of this has resulted from Trey Gowdy’s Benghazi committee?

I’d love to see it, please link it.

Some have observed that...it’s extremely difficult to identify a direct quid pro quo....while Hillary was Secy of State, foreign funny money was moving around from hand to hand with big money deals approved which she could say were going to be approved anyway......at the same time, foreign money was flowing into the charitable Clinton Foundation, not Hillary’s bank account.....

The Buckraking Clinton Foundation sucking up foreign donations is morally reprehensible----but the real crimes are what exactly they are doing with the corporate/foreign monies once its in their Foundation's tax-exempt coffers.

So how'd they do that?

Then-US Sen Clinton and US Sen Jon Corzine. Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs
executive suite. Remember, Wall Street makes money disappear faster than a cream puff at a
Weight Watchers weigh-in.

EXHIBIT ONE--- Dec 05, 2011---Fox News Report: Bill Clinton Reaped Big Bucks from Corzine Firm Before Collapse--- MF Global Employee Links Clinton to the Bankrupt Firm

A former MF Global employee accused former president Bill Clinton of collecting $50,000 per month through his Teneo advisory firm in the months before the brokerage careened towards its Halloween filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, reports Human Events.

Teneo was hired by MF Global’s former CEO Jon S. Corzine to improve his image and to enhance his connections with Clinton’s political family, said the employee, who asked that his name be withheld because he feared retribution, according to Hum/Events.

The Teneo contract with MF Global lasted at least five months, the souce said. “The board cancelled it after Corzine resigned.” The source, who is no longer associated with MF Global, said Teneo is a dual-track company with one side devoted to merchant and investment banking and the other side set up to provide image and strategy consulting services.

Clinton is the chairman of the company’s advisory board, reports Hum/Events.

SOURCE http://nation.foxnews.com/mf-global/2011/12/05/report-bill-clinton-reaped-big-bucks-corzine-firm- collapse#ixzz1fhH3pHHH

===============================================

EXHIBIT TWO--Then-Secy of State Hillary gave her close aide, Huma Abedin, “State Dept special status".....Abedin was working for Hillary at State....... AND simultaneously working for Bill Clinton, as a private contractor for his company, Teneo Holdings.

Abedin, reportedly had private email addresses on the Clinton email server system (underlining Democrats' greatest fear: the intersection of undisclosed foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation and Hillary Clinton’s secret email address. Huma Abedin's sweetheart deal: (1) an outside private six-figure consultant at the State Department, and, (2) “special government employee” status, and worked a sideline---as a private contractor.

One of Huma's clients was Bill Clinton's Company----Teneo Holdings----self-described as a dual-track political/banking consulting firm that calls itself the “next chapter in strategic advisory.”

======================================================

EXHIBIT THREE---An earlier NYT's expose tarred Bill Clinton w/ Teneo's sub rosa dealings. Teneo is run by Clinton aide---Doug Band. Prosecutors found Band and Clinton listed in pedophile's Jeffry Epsteiin's records as having a shocking 21 email addresses and tele nos.

Can you say money laundering? L/E recognizes multiple phone nos and email as the classic MO for money- laundering and tax evasion.

....during three of the years when the Clinton Foundation was taking in all of these foreign donations, the Foundation reported to the IRS that they had received zero government donations. The foundation has said that those were “accounting errors.” (I’m pretty sure Al Capone said the same thing.)

So who controls the IRS?

WSJ REPORT: Hillary Clinton’s State Department was part of a panel that approved the sale of one of America’s largest uranium mines at the same time a foundation controlled by the seller’s chairman was making donations to a Clinton family charity, records reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show. Between 2008-2012, the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative, a project of the Clinton Foundation, received $2.35 million from the Fernwood Foundation, a family charity run by Ian Telfer, chairman of Uranium One before its sale, according to Canada Revenue Agency records.

===============================================

BOMBSHELL The Fernwood contributions to the Clinton Foundation don’t appear on the Clinton Foundation website, under an agreement between the Clinton foundation and the Obama administration.

=======================================================

LET'S GO OVER THIS AGAIN: The WSJ reports the Obama administration had an "agreement w/ the Clinton Foundation" not to list Fernwood Foundation's contributions to the Clintons on its website.

CONCLUSION This explains why, just the other day, White House press secretary Josh Earnest asserted that the Clinton Foundation was “doing excellent work all across the world” and that President Obama was “incredibly proud” of Hillary Clinton’s record at the State Department.

So when Obama was on the golf course when foreign policy decisions were being made by his WH, looking like he "didn't know" about all these radical changes in foreign policy it wasn't b/c Valerie "forgot" to tell him.

Apparently, the insider deal was Obama pleading abject stupidity about US foreign policy being jerked around by the Clintons.......as long as he got his cut of the Clintons' foreign policy finagling.

There is a good probability we will soon be finding out some very interesting things about the Clintons that will come out in their own good time.

Well, today I found out that-

“But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one.

At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.

Frank Giustra, left, with former President Bill Clinton at a Clinton Foundation news conference in 2007. Credit Shannon Stapleton/Reuters
Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.”

Thanks to the New York Times, and no thanks at all to the useless Trey Gowdy who has accomplished NOTHING.

How many scalps does old Trey have on his tomahawk?

Does Trey even have a tomahawk?

I’m not sure if you know this, but Trey’s actual purpose, having been appointed to his committee by none other than John Boehner, is to not achieve, uncover anything at all, or hold even a single person accountable for anything, but rather to sit there and bluster and make catchy sound bites for people who believe that there is something being done, when in fact there is nothing being done, and nothing ever will be done.

And you are showing that to be an effective strategy.

I can - it's easy! She is a psychopath. She is a liar. She is greedy.
