If you think uranium can be exported without a license it explains a lot about why you're so in the dark on this topic.
When you are the enforcer of the rules and laws, you don't need a license to do anything. Doesn't mean that it's legal... but hey pay a little extra kickback here and there - who needs a license.
Between 2009 and January 2012, Mikerin "did knowingly and willfully combine, conspire confederate and agree with other persons ... to obstruct, delay and affect commerce and the movement of an article and commodity (enriched uranium) in commerce by extortion," a November 2014 indictment stated.
His illegal conduct was captured with the help of a confidential witness, an American businessman, who began making kickback payments at Mikerin's direction and with the permission of the FBI. The first kickback payment recorded by the FBI through its informant was dated Nov. 27, 2009, the records show.
"The Obama administration’s decision to approve Rosatom’s purchase of Uranium One has been a source of political controversy since 2015.
That’s when conservative author Peter Schweitzer and The New York Times documented how Bill Clinton collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in Russian speaking fees and his charitable foundation collected millions in donations from parties interested in the deal while Hillary Clinton presided on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
The Obama administration and the Clintons defended their actions at the time, insisting there was no evidence that any Russians or donors engaged in wrongdoing and there was no national security reason for any member of the committee to oppose the Uranium One deal.
But FBI, Energy Department and court documents reviewed by The Hill show the FBI in fact had gathered substantial evidence well before the committee’s decision that Vadim Mikerin — the main Russian overseeing Putin’s nuclear expansion inside the United States — was engaged in wrongdoing starting in 2009."
I'm confused. Are the right-wing mad that Clinton and Obama didn't sell more uranium to their friends, the Russians???
At any rate, numerous investigation already concluded that Clinton has very little to with the Uranium deal.
And this deal with approved by NINE US agencies, including the Defense, Justice, Treasury, and five other department.
Think about the investigation, coverage, and media time spent on Trump, Russia, and the election - which was netted a big zero.
Now read this entire article about the evidence that the FBI had and held back from Congress - because there is so much there that I can't highlight all of it here.
This is the sleight of hand performed by the media and the government. Get everyone focused on A and B, while C, D, E, F, and G are illegal actions that are covered up because they are on the same team.
More fake news.
The deal was approved by NINE US agencies. They are:
1. Dept of Defense.
2. Departments of Treasury
3. Justice
4. Commerce
5. Energy
6. Homeland Security
7. Office of the U.S. Trade Representative
8. Office of Science and Technology Policy
9. State
So you're telling me the Russians bribed ALL of them???!!!!!
Keep in mind there are many Republicans in the above mentioned agencies.
I think some apologies are due to be handed out on here and in a lot of other places.
Lots of smart folks here have said this for a while and got jumped on personally.
Why did the fbi cover for the most corrupt administration in history?
Corruptness in the FBI?
Money does evil things to some people.
And to some money equates power. Sort of like selling your soul to the devil.
