Do Russian Uranium Deals Threaten World Supply Security?

Lasrick writes: A recent article in the New York Times notes that the Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom and associated firms are gaining control of a growing number of uranium resources and mining operations. The article, headlined Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal focuses on donations to charities connected to former US President Bill Clinton and his family, made by businessmen who stood to profit from the sale of Uranium One, a Canadian company with worldwide uranium-mining interests. But a major premise of the article is that Russian uranium control threatens the security of the global uranium supply. Steve Fetter and Erich Schneider demolish the idea that Russian control of uranium stocks is a threat to global security.

Ask Hillary, she knows what happened

Hillary Clinton was bribed to grease the sale of 20% of America’s uranium production to Russia, and then it was covered up by lying about a meeting at her home with the principals, and by erasing emails. We might know for sure whether there was or was not bribery, if she hadn’t wiped out thousands of emails.

She broke no laws, violated no ethics,

She ran a private email server, against government rules. Illegal.
She deleted emails AFTER they were subpoenaed by Congress. Illegal.
She sent secret intelligence documents to Sidney Blumenthall, who is not a government employee and doesn't have clearance. Illegal.
She told Congress she had 1 private emails account, NYT found a second one, making her a liar to Congress. Illegal.
She took bribes according to one of my sources and it is up to her to prove differently by releasing her deleted emails (see Harry Reid's false accusation against Romney for not paying tax to understand the sarcasm). Illegal

We can go on all day, but you repeated false talking points just makes the left seem even more desperate than ever. You SHOULD be throwing her under the bus and quickly getting a different nominee. But if you don't want to, thats fine, give the GOP the White House without having to even try. Hint: Its not the GOP attacking Clinton its people who want Elizabeth Warren to run, but will only run after Clinton drops out.

Quid pro quo

Someone's trying to use Hillary's "What difference does it make?" defense.

The original story was that she influenced the sale in exchange for donations. Now the response from her defenders is "So what? We have plenty of uranium".

Nice attempt at changing the subject; I say "What difference does it make if there's plenty of uranium ore, the deal still looks shady"
