Russian Circus

Political
2017-12-21

The never-ending "Russian collusion" investigation led by former FBI director Robert Mueller has produced no tangible results, wasting millions of taxpayer dollars and further polarizing a divided public. Recent revelations of the blatant pro-Clinton, anti-Trump bias of the investigators, including Peter Strzok and his FBI mistress, expose the hypocrisy of this ongoing effort to undermine the President.

It was Strzok, working with director James Comey, who shut down the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton's illicit use of a private, unsecure email server and her "gross negligence" in handling classified State Dept documents during her tenure as Secretary of State. Contrary to normal procedure, Clinton was also allowed to delete thousands of possibly incriminating messages from her private server after the setup was discovered.

Key players in this political circus, including Robert Mueller himself, are directly tied to the Clintons and the highly lucrative "Uranium One" deal with the Russians during the previous administration. Foreign businessmen involved in the deal, led by Canadian investor Frank Giustra, "donated" millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation:

"The president [should] investigate the Obama-Clinton-Mueller-Rosenstein criminal collusion that enriched the Clinton-Democrat crime syndicate by hundreds of millions of dollars...the multi-billion-dollar Uranium One pay-to-play scam... In 2010, when Mueller was FBI director, the Obama administration and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton approved and facilitated this highly suspicious business deal that... effectively handed Russia and Vladimir Putin control over upwards of 20% of the uranium assets of the United States...

While Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State under President Barack Obama, the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, was handed official U.S. Government authorization to purchase a Canadian company named Uranium One which controlled uranium mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West, including approximately 20% of America's known uranium resources. Uranium One...was effectively the creation of a Canadian entrepreneur named Frank Giustra [who] happened to be a major Clinton donor* and a personal friend of Bill Clinton. The Clinton-Giustra genesis of the Uranium One scam was detailed in a lengthy New York Times story in April 2015 titled "Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal"...

The new company Giustra formed (in 2005) to effectuate the Uranium One deal, UrAsia Energy Ltd., signed a preliminary deal giving it stakes in three uranium mines controlled by Kazatomprom, the government agency that runs Kazakhstan's uranium mines and nuclear energy industry. In 2007, UrAsia merged with Uranium One in what was described as a $3.5 billion transaction, with the successor company retaining the name Uranium One...

When all was said and done, UrAsia's investors controlled the new Uranium One. Chairman of the new company was Canadian Ian Telfer.** Telfer donated $2.3 million to the Clinton Foundation. Frank Giustra, who had shepherded Bill Clinton's influence with the Kazakhstanis, held a personal stake in the deal estimated at about $45 million... According to the New York Times, one year after the 2005 uranium deal was final Giustra donated $31.3 million to the Clinton Foundation with a promise of $100 million more. One adviser on the Uranium One-UrAsia merger was Paul Reynolds. Reynolds donated $1 to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation. A company called U.S. Global Investors Inc. held $4.7 million in Uranium One shares. A U.S. Global executive named Frank Holmes donated $250,000 to $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation...

The Clinton cabal's uranium wheelings and dealings began immediately at the commencement in 2009 of the Obama administration, under the close direction of newly-installed Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton. In order for Russian nuclear entity Rosatom to purchase Uranium One the deal required approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS. The committee consists of top officials from nine different federal agencies [and] the key agency is the U.S. Department of State... In June of 2010, the same month that Rosatom struck its deal for a majority stake in Uranium One, Bill Clinton spoke in Moscow for the tidy sum of $500,000, the 2nd highest fee he had ever received for a speech."
