Clinton’s role
The State Department was one of nine agencies comprising CFIUS, which vets potential national security impacts of transactions where a foreign government gains control of a U.S. company. It was established by Congress in 2007 after the controversy over the planned purchase of seaports by a company in United Arab Emirates. The other agencies were the departments of Treasury, Defense, Justice, Commerce, Energy and Homeland Security, and two White House agencies (Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and Office of Science and Technology Policy).
The CFIUS can approve a deal, but only the president can suspend or stop a transaction. If the committee can’t come to a consensus, a member can recommend a suspension or prohibition of the deal, and the president makes the call.
Due to confidentiality laws, there are few details made public about the deal or about Clinton’s role in it, factcheck.org found. The Clinton campaign said Clinton herself was not involved in the State Department’s review and did not direct the department to take any position on the sale of Uranium One. Matters of the CFIUS did not rise to the level of the secretary, the campaign said.
Jose Fernandez, then-assistant secretary of state for economic, energy and business affairs, sat on the committee. Fernandez told the Times: “Mrs. Clinton never intervened with me on any CFIUS matter.” Fernandez did not respond to our requests for comment.

You don't know one scrap more about this than I do and probably not as much so don't behave as if you do. I don't need to cut and paste anything.
I didn't say Clinton could nix the deal. I said she could question it as they all could. Any prudent person with America's welfare at heart would question the sale of any of our uranium reserve to anyone and only pass on it after being satisfied that it would not be aiding any American adversary.
Now we find that the FBI knew there were bribes etc coming from Russia before this was approved and Obama was informed about it and updated regularly.
This is why 3 congressional committees are now investigating this entire deal and why the special.informant's gag order has been lifted and is now under protection prior to testimony.
Obama, Hillary, and a large portion of Obama's cabinet is coming under investigation and none of your attempts to shift focus has any effect.
Face it. They are caught.
