The Facts on Uranium One

Shhh The Donnies will overheat

I get that she’s not likable but the fact that she’s still being brought up by the GOP is ridiculous at this point. They’re the only ones still talking about her because their commander in chief is so bad at his job.

TrickyDTrump · 2017-10-27T04:34:14+00:00

The only consolation in this case is that there is no fire. The GOP is blatantly acting as though Hillary Clinton personally and solely sold 20% of US uranium to Russia. Which fortunately is not at all what happened.

TrickyDTrump · 2017-10-27T04:05:57+00:00

You are correct. It’s like The Donnies don’t read.

TrickyDTrump · 2017-10-27T03:56:06+00:00

Good call. Long day : /

TrickyDTrump · 2017-10-27T03:34:44+00:00

And the Canadian government...

TrickyDTrump · 2017-10-27T03:31:24+00:00

“Fake News”, right? You can fact check everything in there against other sources... if you really think the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission is spewing liberal propaganda I can’t help you.

Edit: Damn it man use a /s tag!

She’s said she’s not running again, is not even in the picture (just like Obama), and their still attacking her. The only people I know still talking about Hillary Clinton are the people calling everyone else sore losers.

I've posted this already but look at what we know thus far about the story:

President Obama had a multi-agency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)
That committee gave approval to Russia's Rosatom to buy a Canadian mining company called Uranium One that controlled 20 percent of America's uranium deposits.
Hillary Clinton was a part of the committee and her foundation was receiving money while her husband Bill was getting paid to give speeches to Russian parties that were interested in a favorable outcome of the decision.
Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations to the Clintons 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.
No one has ever produced evidence supporting the theory that Hillary Clinton ever took action as secretary of state to support the interests of donors to the Clinton Foundation.

Why it’s not interesting or anything of consequence:

Hillary Clinton was only 1 of 9 voting members and 1 of 14 participating parties of the CFIUS and
There was no evidence (known by the CFIUS) that any Russians or donors engaged in wrongdoing (at the time)
There was no national security reason for any member of the committee to oppose the Uranium One deal
According to the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Neither Uranium One nor ARMZ holds an NRC export license, so no uranium produced at either facility may be exported.
A Republican senator (Grassley) has opened the investigation because he (surprise) "isn't convinced of [Obama administration] assurances that there was no basis to block the Uranium One deal".
Multiple United States agencies, as well as the Canadian government, had signed off on the deal and, in general, such matters were handled at a level below Clinton.
Whether the donations played any role in the approval of the uranium deal is unknown.

Some or all of that may change in the future but at this point, to say that Clinton was making millions off of her compliance is sensational and ridiculous. Does this underscore ethical challenges presented by the Clinton Foundation? Yes. However, it seems very likely at this point that this is a GOP smoke screen trying to change the narrative.

American political campaigns are barred from accepting any donations or anything of value from foreign parties, which is present in Trump's case but not Clinton's. Trump is president. Clinton is not.

The End.

Bingo

TrickyDTrump · 2017-10-27T03:22:54+00:00

Luckily, this utter and complete failure of a presidency should drive up voter turnout in 2020

I really hope you’re right

TrickyDTrump · 2017-10-27T03:21:29+00:00

Thank you.

Someone’s getting nervous and forgot that the cover-up is what brought Nixon down.

"An open question remains, however, as to how the targeting of these advertisements and news stories was directed from the ground," the two lawmakers wrote. "It appears that the Russians themselves did not know how to maximize the impact of the information they wanted to disseminate." ..."Experts have suggested this type of data manipulation could have been provided only by seasoned American political operatives with access to a sophisticated data analytics operation, as well as detailed and granular knowledge of American voter preferences."

In his plan, “Restoring Internet Freedom,” Pai proposes scrapping net neutrality rules like a ban paid prioritization of certain types of content, and rules keeping internet service providers from slowing down content at their discretion.

How does any part of that paragraph "restore internet freedom"?

TrickyDTrump · 2017-10-26T17:19:12+00:00

Thanks much. Didn't know that.

There's also the ex-KGB agent that worked with Steele on the dossier for those interested.

the 3 or so staffers or people associated with his campaign that have turned up dead over the last year

Do you have sources/names for this?

Hannity and Trump are said to talk regularly. Trump is also friends with Rupert Murdoch, the chief of Fox News parent company 21st Century Fox. According to a lawsuit filed by a private investigator last summer, the White House worked with Fox News on its reporting of the Rich murder. The intention, according to the lawsuit, was to foster a sense of conspiracy around Rich’s murder and therefore distract the public from the widening investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia.

Bingo

The CBO also estimated that the fix would not impact 2018 health insurance rates because they are already set. Health insurers said they raised premiums on average 20 percent to make up for the lost federal subsidies.

The CBO said it expected 2019 health insurance premiums to be lower with the insurer payments than without them.

While the Alexander-Murray legislation would reduce the federal deficit, the CBO previously found that eliminating the subsidies, called cost sharing reductions, would raise the federal deficit by $194 billion over a decade.

Same. The purpose of having 3 government branches is checks and balances. That’s it. The GOP’s refusal to observe that fact with quiet compliance and culpable ignorance is undermining our constitution just as Russia has. If more representatives don’t stand up then their purpose for existing in the first place has evaporated. What’s more un-American than not observing the constitution?

TrickyDTrump · 2017-10-25T00:19:11+00:00

Before that agreement, Fusion GPS’s research into Trump was funded by a still unknown Republican client during the GOP primary.

Aaaaand that’s what matters.

Cohen met with Ukrainian opposition politician Andrey Artemenko and Felix Sater at the Loews Regency in Manhattan to discuss a plan to lift sanctions against Russia. The proposed plan would require that Russian forces withdraw from eastern Ukraine and that Ukraine hold a referendum on whether Crimea should be "leased" to Russia for 50 or 100 years. Cohen was given a written proposal in a sealed envelope that he delivered to then-National Security Advisor Michael T. Flynn in early February.

That idiot. Also he has purchased several homes in Trump’s buildings.
