FBI Had Evidence That Russia Bribed Clinton Foundation Before Obama Approved Uranium Deal
“The Russians were compromising American contractors in the nuclear industry with kickbacks and extortion threats."

The FBI had evidence as early at 2009 that Russian operatives were using bribes and kickbacks to compromise individuals involved in the U.S. nuclear industry, but it approved the controversial sale of a Canadian-owned uranium mining company anyway, according to a new report.
The Hill reported that the FBI possessed recordings and emails showing Russia using bribes and kickbacks to compromise employees of an American uranium trucking firm, but chose not to bring charges or inform the public for years.
In 2010, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sat on a panel made up of Obama administration officials that approved the sale of Uranium One, a Canadian mining company, to the Russian nuclear giant Rosatom, thus turning over 20 percent of America’s known uranium reserves to Moscow.
“The Russians were compromising American contractors in the nuclear industry with kickbacks and extortion threats, all of which raised legitimate national security concerns. And none of that evidence got aired before the Obama administration made those decisions,” The Hill quoted a “person who worked on the case” as saying.
According to an affidavit from a federal agent, the scheme was conducted “with the consent of higher level officials” in Russia who “shared the proceeds” from the kickbacks.
The Hill further noted that Russian nuclear officials “routed” millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation, with the Obama Justice Department aware of the attempts to compromise Americans.
As previously reported by Western Journalism, a group of 64 House Republicans signed a letter last summer calling on the FBI, the IRS and the Federal Trade Commission to investigate alleged criminal conduct in regards to Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.
The letter highlighted an appearance of “pay for play” regarding the sale of Uranium One, that raises “serious allegations of criminal conduct requiring further explanation.”
The lawmakers cited the evidence presented in Peter Schweizer’s 2015 book, Clinton Cash, including payments former President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation received from Russian interests, as further backing for their call for further investigation.
Ian Tefler, the CEO of Uranium One, donated $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton received $500,000 dollars for a speech he gave in Moscow from a company promoting Uranium One, The New York Times reported.
Telfler’s “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,” according to the Times.
In the summer of 2016, then-presidential candidate Donald Trump raised the “pay for play” allegations about the Clinton Foundation, but the Clinton campaign denied the charges, characterizing them as “conspiracy theories,” Fox News reported.
“No one has produced a shred of evidence that Hillary Clinton ever took action as Secretary of State in order to support the interests of donors to the Clinton Foundation,” a Clinton spokesman said at the time.
“To suggest the State Department, under then-Secretary Clinton, exerted undue influence in the U.S. government’s review of the sale of Uranium One is utterly baseless,” he added. “It mischaracterizes the nature of the State Department’s participation in such reviews, and also ignores the range of other regulatory agencies that ultimately supported this sale.”

This is what our country has been reduced to, complicity, greed and corruption which now rules the halls of our government to the board rooms of our biggest corporations.
These criminals get to make all the laws on all of us and are now allowed to police themselves. To make it even worse, their propaganda machines and the courts cover for them as long as they continue to pay them off!

The Clinton’s must have filing cabinets loaded with evidence on everybody in DC. DC knows that if the Clinton are arrested it will not be long before they are also.

It is all about Money! Dude! Haven’t you figured that one out yet? “The root of all evil is the love of money.” That is from that there thing called The Holy Bible. Haven’t you ever read it or heard about it! I think they also call it CHRIST!

In case you haven't noticed, when Trump is.personally insulted he becomes vindictive and when he becomes vindictive he doesn't let go. It's a childish trait, but Hillary's undoing.
He was willing to allow Hillary to go her own way until she backed the recount. When she did that she slapped him in the face. That insulated him beyond his desire to let her off to avoid more division in the population
Obama backed her. More insult. Obama said publicly that he would encourage a smooth and peaceful transition to the new presidency. He then did everything he could to cause trouble as Trump took over. More insult.
Now look at the timeline. Trump now is encouraging congress, the FBI, and the DOJ to go after her. Wikileaks, Judicial Watch, and others are forcing more and more documentation against her to become public. The FBI has now coughed up 30 pages of documentation that reveals how Lynch shielded Hillary due to orders from Bill C. on the AZ tarmac.
The Obama holdovers are being weeded out and others are caving to deal to save their skins. The entire democratic web of corruption is coming apart and if you need more proof...
look at Bill Clinton. He has distanced himself from Hillary
He sees it coming and prefers visiting Hillary in prison to living there.
The posture of the left now is nothing more than posture. Their grip on D.C. is coming off and as this snowball gathers downhill steam, look for fireworks.
Hillary"s days are numbered as are Lynch's, Comey's, and several others and perhaps Obama's depending on who squeals and how much.

Of course I have. And yes, I try to lead a Christian life, so I do read the bible. Why such a asshole condescending reply to my post?
