Real russian colusion

Seems the clinton foundation received over 1,000,000 dollars in "speaking fees" in return Clinton as secretary of state sold or approved the sale of uranium to the Russians. not just a literal boat load but a percentage of everything the US had. Not only did Obama know of this he squashed any investigations into this deal by the department.
So the fake news seem to have it half right, there was governmental collusion, just accusing the wrong administration.

People rarely get rich by acting ethically, and almost everybody in politics is rich.
Trump didn't take politics from a shiny beacon of freedom and hope to the dumpster. He just waited until it was so obviously in the dumpster that he fit right in.

Old Fake News. The story was debunked before it ever ran, got debunked after it ran, and is now being regurgitated by trump and his trumpkins to deflect from trump and his trumpkins being a bunch of a sad losers who can't get right.

I'll just speak to the 'uranium sale' since I know a bit about that topic. No uranium was sold to Russia. A Russian company bought a Canadian company that mines uranium. The Russians don't get the uranium that company mines, they get some of the profits. Because the company being bought is involved in uranium mining, the acquisition of 51% of the Canadian/South African company's shares required approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (because the company owns uranium mines in the USA), and the US Secretary of State is on that committee. Clinton was just one member of that committee with no veto power, so she did not have the power to alone approve or deny the sale. The Secretary of the Treasury (Timothy Geithner) was the chairperson, not Clinton. The committee evaluates foreign investment with possible national security issues, and turns the findings over to the president, the committee itself can't approve or disapprove a deal. According to the State Dept. representative who stood for her in the committee, Clinton never interfered with committee decisions.
So the Russians didn't get any uranium and the decision wasn't Clinton's to make. I assume the rest of your information is equally accurate.

Amusingly, that clinton cash bullshit was actively pushed by russian twitterbots and living breathing dezinformatsiya personnel. At least the thread title was accurate.

The conflict of interest is pretty undeniable. Drich overstates it as partisan people are wont to do, which is silly, because the actual truth is pretty egregious.

I expect him to march on orders from the Kremlin, at this point.

Every part of that is wrong.

Quote:The falsehood remains a favourite of right-wing and conspiratorial websites who conveniently ignore that:
- Clinton did not have veto power over the deal as she was one of nine people involved on the panel that deals with such decisions
- Clinton may not have even been involved in the decision-making process as she “never intervened” on such matters
- Any uranium could not and has not been exported or given to Russia as it remains under the control of American subsidiaries, as stated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
- Of the $145 million, most of it, $131.3 million, came from Frank Giustra who sold of his entire stake in Uranium One in 2007, 18 months before Clinton became Secretary of State and three years before the Russia deal
