Yes, Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid U.S. Russian Uranium Deal



Quote:
My latest Counter Propa article highlights the U.S. Russia uranium deal that sent 20% uranium capacity to Russia. In 2015, The New York Times stated “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.”

Has Vox or POLITIFACT analyzed this quote?

Or just Trump’s wild accusations?

The next paragraph in this New York Times piece states “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.”

Vox, POLITIFACT, and others haven’t commented on the two quotes above and have only pontificated against President Trump’s awkwardly worded claims.

Hillary Clinton didn’t “give up” 20% of U.S. uranium to Russia, but Uranium One donations to the Clinton Foundation might have influenced the State Department and Obama’s administration to approve the deal.

Was it merely coincidence that Uranium One officials were Clinton Foundation donors, or is there legitimate conflict of interest?

Also, did the FBI tape Bill Clinton’s speech at a Moscow bank?

There’s absolutely no way for Vox or any other Clinton public relations firm to spin the fact Bill Clinton received $500,000 from a Moscow bank with ties to the Kremlin.

Also, nothing said at Trump’s press conference refutes the fact Uranium One officials donated millions to the Clinton Foundation amid the sale of U.S. uranium to Russia.
At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press. Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.
If you replace Clinton with Trump in the story above, how would Washington Post journalists react? 85 people give $156 million to Trump’s foundation and nobody questions the transfer of money?

This story just won't go away, this is very serious, and should have been investigated when it happened.

There are more reports coming out that the Clintons were funneling money to themselves as part of deals that were sending technology to the Russians.

The Clinton's scandals aren't going away, they are getting worse as more information is being discovered.

But... but... but... Trump and Putin...
So we have about the umpteenth example of the left accusing their opponent of being guilty of what they are guilty of and trying to smoke screen and diffuse the scandal.
Wait for the pedo and human trafficking accusations to start being made by the left. oOf course, all this goes beyond just the left vs the right, now its deep government against anyone that stands against them. The elites will not go down easy, its going to be a fight and they fight dirty.

From the NYT reference above...

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.

...
Whether the donations played any role in the approval of the uranium deal is unknown. But the episode underscores the special ethical challenges presented by the Clinton Foundation, headed by a former president who relied heavily on foreign cash to accumulate $250 million in assets even as his wife helped steer American foreign policy as secretary of state, presiding over decisions with the potential to benefit the foundation’s donors.


Well - they are out of business now.

They lost a ton of money making oppotunities by losing the election.

Article has a link to old NYT article which mentions actual amount flowed. This deal made Rasotam one of the largest uranium producers which bought putin closer to his goal of controlling uranium supply chain. Not sure why obama appoved this considering russia intentions. Suddenly in his last few days he put in sanctions against them and turned them very bad.

Obama is pro-Iran. Iranian born Valerie Jarrett at his right hand. The billions of dollars of cash that was given to them. The cushy nuclear deal that was made. Russia can sell uranium to Iran.

You have to put everything together.

It's easy to see. And now we see what's happening to the foundation. Tanking.
