It's not just the Clintons who are implicated in a uranium deal with the Russians that compromised national-security interests.
The cool half-million the Putin regime funneled to Bill Clinton was five times the amount it spent on those Facebook ads — the ones the media-DEMOCRAT complex ludicrously suggests swung the 2016 presidential election to Trump.
By contrast, the staggering $500,000 payday from a Kremlin-tied Russian bank for a single speech looks like part of a multi-million-dollar influence-peddling scheme to enrich the former president and his wife.
At the time, Russia was plotting — successfully — to secure U.S. government approval for its acquisition of Uranium One, and with it, tens of billions of dollars in U.S. uranium reserves.
The Uranium One scandal is not only, or even principally, a Clinton scandal.
It is an Obama-administration scandal. The Clintons were just doing what the Clintons do. The Obama administration, with Secretary Clinton at the forefront but hardly alone, was knowingly compromising American national-security interests.
The administration green-lighted the transfer of control over one-fifth of American uranium-mining capacity to Russia, a hostile regime — and specifically to Russia’s state-controlled nuclear-energy conglomerate, Rosatom.
Worse, at the time the administration approved the transfer, it knew that Rosatom’s American subsidiary was engaged in a lucrative racketeering enterprise that had already committed felony extortion, fraud, and money-laundering offenses.
