Bill Clinton sought State’s permission to meet with Russian nuclear official during Obama uranium decision

As he prepared to collect a $500,000 payday in Moscow in 2010, Bill Clinton sought clearance from the State Department to meet with a key board director of the Russian nuclear energy firm Rosatom — which at the time needed the Obama administration’s approval for a controversial uranium deal, government records show.

Arkady Dvorkovich, a top aide to then-Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and one of the highest-ranking government officials to serve on Rosatom’s board of supervisors, was listed on a May 14, 2010, email as one of 15 Russians the former president wanted to meet during a late June 2010 trip, the documents show.

 

Putin's puppet.

New FBI information about corruption in a Clinton-approved uranium deal with Russia raises questions about Clinton’s actions after the FBI broke up a deep-cover Russian spy ring in 2010.

For a decade, the FBI ran an operation called Ghost Stories to monitor and rip apart a deep-cover Russian agent network. Ghost Stories tracked a ring Russian spies who lived between Boston and Washington, D.C., under false identities. It was one of the FBI’s most elaborate and successful counterintelligence operations in history.

After the FBI arrested 10 of the spies in June, 2010, Secretary of State Clinton worked feverishly to return the Russian agents to Moscow in a hastily arranged, lopsided deal with Putin.

It all happened as the uranium deal was in play: An arrangement to provide Moscow’s state Rosatom nuclear agency with 20 percent of American uranium capacity, with $145,000,000 to pour into the Clinton Family Foundation and its projects.

For the Clintons, the FBI’s biggest counterintelligence bust in history couldn’t have come at a worse time.

The day the FBI arrested the Russian agents, on June 28, 2010, the day before the secretary of state’s husband, Bill Clinton, was to give a speech in Moscow. A Kremlin-connected investment bank, Renaissance Capital, paid the former president $500,000 for the hour-long appearance.

An unnamed Hillary Clinton spokesman told ABC News that there was “no reason to think the Secretary was a target of this spy ring.”

That was a lie.

Graham: Hillary implicated in Russia probe
Clinton Foundation benefited amid shady uranium deal


Hey, mainstream media! We finally found it — a real Russia scandal involving the 2016 election. With actual evidence of criminal wrongdoing and everything! So come on, New York Times, CNN and MSNBC, let’s ...

Hey, where’d everybody go?

 

All of the tweets posted here are opinions, too. What passes for news in the mainstream media is opinions and utterly biased.

I'm not sure what your complaint is.

 

If it is an opinion piece and it says "the sun rises in the east", it's still a fact.

"Clinton foundation benefited during Russia nuclear deal" is a fact.

"Hillary implicated in Russia Probe" is a fact. The Hill (not opinion piece) is reporting a number of documents (and other evidence) uncovered by the FBI.

I'd note that way back when, it was reported that there were a number of FBI agents who wanted to continue their investigation into the Clinton Foundation, but they were shut down by Comey.

 

Sounds like he followed the proper procedure, doesn't it. Unlike, say, Flynn, who didn't ask permission and also lied about it later. Or Sessions, who lied about meeting Russians. Or Trump, who claimed he had no business in Russia at the same time his team was trying to arrange a huge deal there.

So yeah, Russia Russia Russia.

No, it doesn't sound like he followed the proper procedure.

Clinton Foundation had filing issues, too

Clinton Charities Refile 6 Years Of Tax Returns To Amend Errors

 

In this story, the Clinton Foundation itself noticed that it hadn't filed some possibly-required documents, and then filed them.

Yes, they should have filed fully in the first place. But there is no evidence of wrongdoing presented.

Contrast that to the people you don't want to talk about failing to file documents and then lying about it when they were caught.

barfo

 

Sounds exactly what Flynn says.

Hypocrite.

The Clinton Foundation also promised to openly report any foreign contributions when the crook was Secy of State. This prove is already showing why - and it is wrongdoing.

 

No, it doesn't. Flynn didn't self-report his omissions. Flynn got busted, and then filed. There is a difference.

Plus the fact that while the Clinton Foundation failed to file some supplementary material on their taxes, the information was freely available on their website all along. According to your link, anyway.

Flynn, on the other hand, failed to get required permission to take Russian money, took Russian money, failed to report taking Russian money, lied about it, etc.

Calling the two situations equivalent is dishonest.

barfo

 

LOL

Your candidate is so clearly criminal. It’s rather hilarious the extent you go to defend the indefensible.

I don’t defend Flynn.

 

So clearly criminal that she's never been charged with a crime. I guess if she's a criminal she's way smarter than her enemies such as yourself.

That, or your objectivity is lacking.

barfo

 

My objectivity says she’s under investigation by the FBI and congressional committee(s).

Where there’s smoke, eh?

 

Oh, so that's the standard? You really want to have it both ways, don't you?

barfo

 

Hoisting you on your own petard.

How do you like it?
