Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation as Russians Pressed for Control of Uranium Company

At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.

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.

I just heard on the radio, that only 15% of the $$$ raised by the Clinton Foundation, actually went to the intended charitable cause. 85% of it was used for salaries, benefits, travel, the Clinton's pockets, and a section called "other".

I'll dig around and see if i can find an article on it. Rush mentioned it in passing on his show, just a few minutes ago (but Dems here will see the name "Rush" and automatically discount it as a lie, so I'll find an article from a credible source).

No, they don't care.  But I'm afraid that if we dig around hard enough we will see a lot of unsavory tid bits about some of the republicans out there too.

I completely agree that if this were a republican, they'd have them shredded by now.  With Ol' Willy's old lady?  Naw, ain't going to happen.

Kind of nice that Russia has a 1/5 stake in uranium in our country, eh?

Dem's don't care where she got the money.

If this was a Repub candidate, it'd be front & center, and the person would get SHREDDED in the media.

But since it's the screw-faced old bat, Hillary, they let it slide.
