    Dude, Russia is not an enemy of the state!

    The best way to describe a nation that violates world policies and Peace Agreements, invading free nations, and is not a member of NATO, that are also under U.S. Sanctions, and continues to arm our other adversaries, and interferes in even their own elections as well as other elections of other countries around the world is an ADVERSARY!

    They are neither an ally, nor friend, nor enemy, nor foe- they are an adversarial nation to the United States of America!

    Even though Lindsey Graham wasn’t running for anything in 2016 either, he took $800,000 from this same Kremlin oligarch.

    So you are only projecting here with innuendo while making false claims!
    Nothing I stated was false. She was Sec State, State did have to sign off on it, Bill Clinton did receive $500k from Russians for a speech prior to the decision.

    So his rambling about Russia not being an 'enemy of the state' is nothing more than pure nonsense.

    The Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States

    The Committee on Foreign Investments has nine members, including the secretaries of the treasury, state, defense, homeland security, commerce and energy; the attorney general; and representatives from two White House offices (the United States Trade Representative and the Office of Science and Technology Policy).

    The committee can’t actually stop a sale from going through — it can only approve a sale. The president is the only one who can stop a sale, if the committee or any one member “recommends suspension or prohibition of the transaction,” according to guidelines issued by the Treasury Department in December 2008 after the department adopted its final rule a month earlier.

    Trump is wrong to claim that Clinton “gave away 20 percent of the uranium in the United States” to Russia. Clinton could have objected — as could the eight other voting members — but that objection alone wouldn’t have stopped the sale of the stake of Uranium One to Rosatom.

    “Only the President has the authority to suspend or prohibit a covered transaction,” the federal guidelines say.

    We don’t know much about the committee’s deliberations because there are “strong confidentiality requirements” prohibiting disclosure of information filed with the committee, the Treasury Department says on its website. Some information would have become available if the committee or any one of its members objected to the sale. But none of the nine members objected.

    “When a transaction is referred to the President, however, the decision of the President is announced publicly,” Treasury says.

    We don’t even know if Clinton was involved in the committee’s review and approval of the uranium deal. Jose Fernandez, a former assistant secretary of state, told the New York Times that he represented the department on the committee. “Mrs. Clinton never intervened with me on any C.F.I.U.S. matter,” he told the Times, referring to the committee by its acronym.

    Yes, very aware the President makes the final call. But with no objections, he had no reason to reject. Had Clinton objected, then he would have had to explain had he over ruled the objection. But she did not object... and her husband banked a half a million.
