As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.
And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.
the Clintons are crooks. they make poor old tricky dick Nixon look like a choirboy.
poor old tricky dick Nixon.

All you need to do is replace their names:
Good Morning Nam:
Lt. Steven Hauk: The former Sec. Clinton is a good woman and a decent woman.
General Taylor: Bullshit!
I know Mrs. Clinton personally. She lugs a trainload of shit behind her that could fertilize the Sinai.
Why, I wouldn’t buy an apple from the bitch, and I consider her a good, close personal friend.
Slick-willy and The Queen of Jokes,
now has Canada involved.
Kate:
I am amazed how you find all these great posts.

Are you involved with NSA ??
just kidding..
The Clintons run what amounts to a organized crime cartel – the long list of scandals only scratch the surface of their operations. It should not surprise us the old criminal reflex is still there – in a broader perspective the US has been under rule of criminal cartels for some time – they went from the Arkansas crime syndicate to the Texas boss hogg familes to the Chicago crime syndicate and are about to chose another Arkansas capo in 2016.
So, no Keystone Pipeline, no fracking in many areas, no export of natural gas…………but the Russians can mine Uranium in the US.
And the leftards don’t see a problem with this. Wow.
As I have said in the past, Hillary Clinton will not be elected and may not even be a the Democrat’s candidate for POTUS. She is too old and has too much political baggage and many social flaws. (Plus she has a grating laugh). This revelation is just one of many to come.
That American Indian woman, you know, Elizabeth Warren, the blonde blue eyed 1/10000% American Indian…… she’s the one to keep an eye on. She’s also a women…. and every bit as nutty as Hillary.
I suspect there’s a lot more and a lot less to this story than is found here in the NYT writeup. Willow Ranch is a tiny operation, with very small reserves at an ore concentration of 0.077 per cent. That’s low grade dirt. The topsoil in your backyard has a concentration greater than 1/10th that amount. And with reserves of only a few thousand tonnes, it will only last barely 10 years even at its low rate of extraction of 1,300 tonnes per year. If it couldn’t be mined with in situ leach, it couldn’t be mined at all.
What Rosatom really wanted was not Willow Ranch but Uranium One’s huge holdings in Kazakhstan. There’s six big in situ leach operations there each more than 10 times the size of Willow Ranch on average with higher ore grades.
The real issue here is that Uranium One would have served as a convenient vehicle for shoveling money into the foundation of the the-US Secretary of State. This happened after Clinton’s infamous “Reset” speech (puts a new twist on that one, doesn’t it?) There’s nothing any foreign power would like better than to bribe successfully the US Secretary of State and a former US President. The Saudis have been doing the same thing for decades with the Bush family.
This is only the beginning. It clearly started with the revelations about Clinton’s email shenanigans. There’s going to be a remorseless drip of Hillary scandals for the next year and a half, orchestrated by the White House and released through places like the NYT. It’s a Democrat civil war, folks, and it’s going to get very, very nasty before it’s over. The squabbles within the Republicans are going to look like a kumbaya love-in compared with what the Democrats are starting to do to themselves.
David in Michigan is right. HRC will never be president. This is just one piece of a huge load of baggage going back three decades. And the American public is going to be reminded of every bit of it before Obama leaves office.
Keystone XL weren’t coming up with the proper bribes to the proper people. It’s that simple.
Dave in Michigan, this is just for you:

I’m glad you don’t know where I live.
At this point, what difference does it make?
It’s a Democrat civil war, folks, and it’s going to get very, very nasty before it’s over.

Loving every minute of it.
Never knew the dirt in my back yard could glow if the grass dried up.
-interesting comment.
No worries, just a misunderstanding Hillary will clear up by releasing the background emails from her server.
Oh wait, we may have a small problem.
And this morning they’re saying they didn’t report any government donations to the foundation and have to refile 5 years worth of tax returns. Didn’t report millions. This is not an error, like some company not correctly reporting some capital expense, this is deliberate corruption. It says something about the left that she will still be the nominee, in my opinion, and they will vote for her.
Didn’t report millions.
Anyone want to bet that those taxable IRS files will disappear?
In 3..2..1
……. and have to refile 5 years worth of tax returns. Didn’t report millions.
Har har har, like that matters. Al Sharpton, for years, has owed almost $5 million in back taxes, yet is still schmoozing with Obama at the Whitehouse and is the darling of the leftard media. Conservative groups on the other hand? Fair game.
No, there is no way the Clintons will EVER have to pay that back.
If Bill Clinton screwed some poor widow on the front porch of the white house,
Democrats would scream and say,
He did it for the ‘Disfranchised.’
FL, on average, in your backyard, in my backyard and every backyard in the world, the top meter of topsoil contains about 2 kg of uranium, and about 3 kg of thorium, all of it radioactive.
The world’s oceans contain about 3 billion tonnes of uranium, dissolved in seawater. Just about every element in the periodic table is found in seawater. All of it naturally.
We live in a sea of ionizing radiation, some of it from outer space, most of it originating here on our planet.
“…she’s the one to keep an eye on.”
I agree, and while, as Occam suggests, the Clintons have a Chicago crime syndicate style operation, the Clintons are power and money orientated pragmatic self interested. Elizabeth Warren is even more of a Marxist ideologue than the Obama regime. If Elizabeth Warren would become POTUS you could see Bernie Sanders becoming Kommissar 2-I-C.
cgh, hopefully you and David are right about HRC not becoming POTUS, although Warren would be equally as devastating to the American people if not worse as far as implementing more socialism.
cgh, what in your opinion is behind the Democrat civil war? Is it ideological?
Actually uranium 10 don’t glow…..it’s falling like rain outa the sky along with carbon 14 and a beryllium isotope constantly….something about the solar wind and nitrogen in the ionosphere.
Alluminum is the most plentiful metal on earth…but because it is so chemically active….combines with just about anything….ya never see it.
Even bauxite has to have the alumina dissolved out of it by using cryolite (rare earth)….
There all sortsa stuff about……just in dilute forms.
Google “Magnetic reversals” and marvel how any life ever evolved…..
One of those donors has a picture on his desk of himself and Bill Clinton. I’ve seen it….
I agree with cgh. This isn’t about the Russians controlling major sources of uranium in North America, it’s the fact Uranium One was/is being used a vehicle to enrich the Clintons and buy their influence.
Partly ideology and partly Bonfire of the Vanities. There’s a bunch of us here convinced that Obama is deeply narcissistic. It’s also evident that his term in office has been a disaster with huge failures particularly in foreign affairs. In the past six years, however bad things were in the ME, he’s made it immeasurably worse. He’s even had his own helicopters-off-the-roof moment in Yemen. The United States is significantly weaker today in terms of clout, friends, influence. He’s even got arch-nemesis Russia flagrantly invading Ukraine and daring anyone to stop it. I could go on, but you get the point. Obama is hands down the worst and weakest President the United States has ever had, and that includes some real losers in the late 19th century.
So the worst thing for his legacy (remembering he’s a narcissist) is to be succeeded by a Democrat who manages to fix some of these things. Clinton is certainly more capable than Obama, and she’s a lot tougher-minded. And she comes representing the organized labour part of the Democrats, and there’s no love lost between them and the Greenie-urban metrosexual-feminist-ethnic-raging Leftie coalition of which Obama is the idol. So he and Jarrett want to make certain that HRC goes through sheer torture in her nomination bid. If a Republican comes in and fixes some of the mess, that’s not so bad, from Obama’s perspective. They are all evil anyway, and by definition so is anything they do. Party propaganda, after all, rarely has anything to do with truth.
You can say many things about Obama but there’s never been the overt personal greed that characterizes the Clintons. I suspect the current White House denizens despise the Clintons for their shameless troughing. Added to all that, there was a lot of bad blood stirred up between Obama and the Clintons during the 2006-2008 nomination race, too much to ever be forgiven or forgotten. And HRC will never forgive Obama from stealing the Presidency that should have been hers in 2008 against a weak McCain ticket. Particularly not after she’d plotted, schemed and whored for it the moment Hubby Bill went out of office in 2001.
So in short, they hate each other savagely. And HRC having so much baggage, Obama and Co. are going to make her life hell on earth.
Yeah story here…http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/04/23/us-usa-election-clinton-taxes-exclusive-idUSKBN0NE0CA20150423
Additionally the Clinton Foundation has not ruled out extending the review to tax returns extending back 15 or so years…
Hillary is the most beatable candidate the GOP can hope for.
Here’s hoping she gets the nomination.
I guess everyone missed the Canadian Connection to how US Uranium was so easily exported via Canada…
Looks like a clue to the corrupt Canadian international pipeline of avoidance…. of US LAW
Don’t be stupid. It was shipped to Canada for refining and then went to USEC for enrichment. It all depends upon to whom it was sold when it went through refining. At that stage it became Canadian uranium, and Canada has just as strict controls on the sale of uranium as does the US. There was no avoidance of US or any other law. Looks like you just want to try to make cheap antinuclear propaganda.
Frank Giustra? His Twitter presence has Clinton photos all over it.
He seems to like staying quite close to politicians, his ex told me about them having dinner with PETA & touring Cuba with him, Castro acting as their tour guide.
That would be PET,not PETA; auto(in)correct.
Could the Clintons FINALLY be made to pay for Waco? Please? Could somebody finally summon the divine wind and blow these two grifting hillbillies off the front page and back into the gutter from whence they sprang?
Please, let it be so,
Phantom, she’s too ambitious. She’s going to keeping ploughing forward until the voters, either Democrat conventioners or the US voter, finally say “Out damned “b*tch, and take your trollop of a husband with you”. And I’m all right with that. Those two grifting hillbillies (great phrase) haven’t suffered nearly enough. They deserve every ounce of misery and public derision that they get. And best of all, it’s fellow Dems going to be doing most of the tar and feathering.
And I’m really happy about that. US politics needs to be broken of the idea that family dynasties are in any way compatible with the Great Republic. Now if only someone would tell the Kennedys…
Not looking too good for the Hag.
Best case, once the evidence/accusations mount, we can expect a lot of fan blown excrement directed back at the White House and its treacherous interlopers.
NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN- enjoy the shitfest! You deserve every bit of it!
Now feel free to correct me if I misremember, but didn’t Slick Willie pardon George Soros?
And seems to me an enormous amount of Georgies money is devoted to pushing the progressive cancer.
AKA financing the Democrats.
We have our own here in Canada. Anyone remember Adscam, or the 2 billion that went missing over the gun registry? Or how about former PM chretiens involvement in the Heenan Blaikie adventures in darkest Africa?
I doubt this embarrassing and not-too-unexpected finding will rile low-information voters.
IF they were so inclined to vote for this shrew, that is.
If the NYT’s published this, then someone has decided not to crown Hillary as the Democratic nominee. If they wanted her, they would have buried the story. Someone does not like the Clintons. Too bad. So sad.
There has to be a whole boatload of enemies the Clintons have made over the years. He/she has screwed, both literally and figuratively many many people who are sharpening their knives, just waiting for the pay back. Get out the popcorn as this is going to be the best entertainment we have had in a long time. Someone out there is going to take the Clintons down and it’s going to be fun to watch, can’t wait.
Some media hounds have picked up this story and are running with it.
Our former Sec. of State, Clintoon, with the help of husband Slick-willy has helped the Russians mine 50 percent of the Uranium reserves in America, so they can sell it to the Iranians, so they can make a bomb, attack Israel, and start World War Three.
Who the Hell needs foreign terrorists, we have the Clinton’s..
It’s all under safeguards, FL. It can’t go into a weapons program. And no, it’s not 50% of US uranium reserves. It’s far, far less than that by several orders of magnitude.
So in short, they hate each other savagely. And HRC having so much baggage, Obama and Co. are going to make her life hell on earth.
uranium can’t go into a weapons program.

Enjoy your comments cgh.
My son-in-law is employed at a Nuke power plant and wondered if you are also.
I’ve never worked in a nuclear plant, FL, but I’m very familiar with the industry. Your son in law is working in the safest environment in the world bar none. The IA rate in the electricity industry generally is about 1/10 the Canadian industrial average of 4 lost time accidents per 100,000 hours worked. That by the way is one of the best IA rates in the world. The nuclear portion of the electricity industry is about 1/10th of the electricity industry average. That’s safer than your house or my house, by a lot.
And for your enjoyment regarding weapons programs. The requirement for a nuclear material export licence is an end-use certificate (among many, many other things). That means to export something you have to tell the government what the FINAL destination is. And may God help you if you lie about it; the penalties will be savage at least in Canada and the US. So none of this stuff can be middle-manned to some obnoxious place. And to export it, there has to be a bilateral treaty in place between Canada (and all Nuclear Supplier Group nations) and whoever is the end use country. There’s no such treaty in place between Canada (or the US) and Russia. The US has taken former USSR weapons material as part of a disarmament program to eliminate weapons stockpiles, but civilian trade? Not possible.
