Fox News' Shepard Smith expertly poked holes in the Uranium One conspiracy peddled by his own Network. And now viewers are calling for his head.
In an awe-inspiring segment Tuesday, Smith defiantly discredited the story alleging then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton approved the sale of uranium to Russia in exchange for kickbacks to her charity foundation.

^I did not write this. It is a snippet of an article with the link included, to dispell
any notion that I might be trying to claim this quote as my own.


Most unbiased people have dismissed "Uranium One" a long, long time ago.
I would print more links, but to what avail? It wouldn't do any good....not to people who would still believe this.

... self-appointed fact-checkers such as PolitiFact and Snopes to selectively “debunk” the larger story without critically examining the full set of facts. In the coming months, readers may find the Uranium One scandal coming back into focus. For that purpose, it’s time to set the record straight.

Lots of details in the article. I didn't realize there were three whistleblowers.

Obama was one of the most corrupt presidents in US history. However, that fact will be buried for the forseeable future due to political correctness.


Future generations will not view his presidency through the same prism and will be judged accordingly.

Barr once said that there was more evidence for the Clinton Uranium One charges than anything related to the Russian interference in the 2016 election.

There must be some secret hope by Republicans that Hillary will run again. So many stories about someone who is not even doing events in primary states.

If you locked up Hillary right now, literally most of America would not care, nor would it change a vote in either the primary or general election.

I say go for it. But be mindful how many fronts your fighting on, you will stretch it thin and lose the messaging battle. Uranium One already requires a ton of explanation just to get someone up to speed on the possibility of something to investigate. Not easy to follow=Americans ignoring it.

Surely Barr is on the case.

Just because someones not running for office means they get a free pass for graft and corruption? Twisted logic but you people always have bizarre logic in excusing the criminal couple.
How about its a deterrent for others not to do the same thing.
Easy to follow is principals in the uranium one deal just coincidentally donating tens of millions of dollars to the Clinton foundation slush fund. Like they just felt the foundation knew better what to do with their money than they did. It was simply coincidental, it was gonna happen anyway.
Which is why after she lost in 2016 the foundations donations trickled down to virtually nothing.

Tell us it was just coincidence.

As for shepherd smiths "debunking" it takes a lot of things on good faith. First that the assistant secy of states denial that his boss did not intervene, makes it factual.
Secondly, that those 9 dept heads have no association, political or otherwise, with Hillary Clinton, and were not promised professional favor in her expected presidency.
Its as if he is detached from the reality of govt employee back scratching.
Its not like Hillary cant pick up the phone and say hey this uranium one deal looks like a winner can we breeze it through... oh and in my administration theres going to be a bright future for you.
Maybe it was in one of those 35,000 emails.

Of course such speculation does not convict her, but lets not pretend smiths little partisan dream world exonerates her.
