A Russian nuclear firm under FBI investigation was allowed to purchase US uranium supply

Fifteen months before the 13 members of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, known as CFIUS, approved the sale of the Canadian company Uranium One to Russia’s nuclear arm giant Rosatom, the FBI began investigating persons who were connected to the Russian state corporation. The FBI said in court documents and in interviews conducted by Circa that by 2010 they had gathered enough evidence to prove that Rosatom-connected officials were engaged in a global bribery schedule that included kickbacks and money laundering. FBI officials said the investigation could have prevented the sale of Uranium One, which controlled 20 percent of U.S. uranium supply under U.S. law.

The deal which required approval by CFIUS, an inter-agency committee who reviews transactions that leads to a change of control of a U.S. business to a foreign person or entity that may have an impact on the national security of the United States. At the time of the Uranium One deal the panel was chaired by then-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and included then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and then-Attorney General Eric Holder.

By the time CFIUS approved the sale of Uranium One to Rosatom the FBI’s investigation had already gathered substantial evidence of bribery and kickbacks against a Russian national, Vadim Mikerin, who was then a top official with Rosatom’s Tenex subsidiary, according to court documents. The FBI said while at Tenex, which was located in Maryland, Mikerin was involved in multiple bribery and kickback scheme

This is an astounding story, and it’s now perfectly obvious why Hillary tried to flip the “Russian collusion” story onto Trump. Just playing the old Lenin COMINTERN strategy of accusing your opponent of what you did.

Really amazing, and I expect it’s only just begun. DJT often uses the technique that was demonstrated by Andy Breitbart (and by James O’Keefe before him) of letting a story out bit by bit, knowing that the MSM will ridicule and minimize the early releases, and then be forced to eat crow and cover it as the whole thing emerges.

But, you see, the “phrasing” of the headline - which is all that 85% of the print press audience reads - DELIBERATELY DOES imply it has recently occurred UNDER Trump's as “prove” of HIS collusion with the Russians!

It’s not a sale of highly enriched uranium. It’s control of a big chunk of America’s uranium mining by a Russian government agency, Rosatom. Rosatom controls at least 40% of the world’s uranium supply.

A spokesperson for Hillary Clinton did not return calls seeking comment and no evidence has been presented the speech payment made to Bill Clinton had any connection to the passage of the deal. Officials at Renaissance Capital could not be reached immediately for comment.

Imagine that. I'm so shocked. Or not.

That was a small sample delivered for evaluation to Rosatom to help them evaluate the value of the uranium ore they were soon to acquire.

The Hammonds, imprisoned ranchers in Oregon were charged with domestic terrorism for protecting their own land, which also happens to have uranium on the property. This is in the same area that HRC allowed uranium rights to be sold to her Canadian/Russian PayforPlay Pals. Lavoy Finicum was murdered by the Feds in Oregon to show us all who is really Boss.

The Bundys are in the same boat in Nevada - political prisoners persecuted/prosecuted as domestic terrorists in the most egregious display of tyranny by our Federal goons. Jeff Sessions recently gave his blessing out in Nevada to the Federal Prosecutors in Las Vegas who are also presiding over the recent PsyOp. Who’d athunk that Sessions would be so down with Deep State...
