Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
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.

She is Soros in a
dresspant suit.Remember the Loral Corporation satellite technology sales that were allowed sold to the Chinese when Clinton was befouling the Oval Office with his corruption. The oversight of business sales of such strategically sensitive technology was moved from the Dept of Defense to the Dept of State by the Clinton administration PRECISELY to allow this sale by Loral – a huge Clinton donor – to go through. This sale of control of uranium mining rights is more of the same Clinton corruption that will continue – and worsen – should that morally worthless, disgusting Alinskyite harpy succeed in fooling enough stupid people to vote for her….or if the idiot/traitor establishment GOPers push another wimpy ‘moderate’ candidate to run against the evil hag.
A fellow can have cigars sent by direct mail to the Hillary campaign. Tens of thousands have already done it. The cigars can commemorate the very successful speeches( underhanded deals), the new Clinton baby, and/or the Lewinski damage control methodology. Some of the profits will be given to the Wounded Warriors Foundation- a charity that Cankles absolutely adores.
The NYT is trying to protect the Bamster’s administration and to dump this huge scandal onto the laps of the Clinton crime family.
@Pete:
Absolutely I remember it Pete. I considered it despicably treasonous, as prior to transferring that technology China’s ballistic missile launch systems and vehicles were not advanced enough to reach the continental US. The technology required to place a satellite in stable orbit is the same as that which is necessary to hit any target in the world with a nuclear warhead.
