Uranium One

[WoundedKnee]

I'm sorry that I was too subtle for you.

It's not about who owns what percentage of what company in what country, but who is trying to buy influence in this country. Does that make it more clear after a whole fucking year of the Democrats screaming about how Russia has tired to collude with Trump to affect our election/government policy making?

Keep deflecting. Team Tromp have already admitted illegal actions. The indictments will tell.

What exactly did the "tromp" team admit?

Uranium One deal led to some exports to Europe, memos show

After the Obama administration approved the sale of a Canadian mining company with significant U.S. uranium reserves to a firm owned by Russia’s government, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission assured Congress and the public the new owners couldn’t export any raw nuclear fuel from America’s shores.

“No uranium produced at either facility may be exported,” the NRC declared in a November 2010 press release that announced that ARMZ, a subsidiary of the Russian state-owned Rosatom, had been approved to take ownership of the Uranium One mining firm and its American assets.

A year later, the nuclear regulator repeated the assurance in a letter to Sen. John Barrasso, a Wyoming Republican in whose state Uranium One operated mines.

“Neither Uranium One Inc. nor AMRZ holds a specific NRC export license. In order to export uranium from the United States, Uranium One Inc. or ARMZ would need to apply for and obtain a specific NRC license authorizing the exports of uranium for use in reactor fuel,” then-NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko wrote to Barrasso.

The NRC never issued an export license to the Russian firm, a fact so engrained in the narrative of the Uranium One controversy that it showed up in The Washington Post’s official fact-checker site this week. “We have noted repeatedly that extracted uranium could not be exported by Russia without a license, which Rosatom does not have,” the Post reported on Monday, linking to the 2011 Barrasso letter.

Yet NRC memos reviewed by The Hill show that it did approve the shipment of yellowcake uranium — the raw material used to make nuclear fuel and weapons — from the Russian-owned mines in the United States to Canada in 2012 through a third party. Later, the Obama administration approved some of that uranium going all the way to Europe, government documents show.

Lies. Lies. Lies.

Lies. Lies. Lies.

What lie specifically are you referring to? Are you unaware of the Frank Giustra (uranium one) contributions to the Clinton Foundation? Additionally, Frank Giustra's corporate jet was available to, and often used by, Bill Clinton. Doesn't bother you?

This is my only incarnation on Literotica ever. And yes, I'm anti-Clinton, and I'm anti-Obama. Even without corruption, they were toadies to corporate interests and war mongers. I am also anti-Bush (both of them), and anti-Trump.
You consistently dismiss what people say, or ignore it, based on your idea of who they are. Even people you do not like, however, can present legitimate facts and have legitimate perspectives. When you are so caught up in personalities that you have to invent identities for people when you disagree with them, you've gone beyond any ability to reason.

If you think that criticizing Clinton or Obama is the same as supporting Trump, you're not thinking clearly at all. There are many more choices in the world than blind partisanship for one or the other of the two major American political parties.

Hmmmm, wherever did the water carrier go after this reply?

Kazakhstan uranium floods the world market. USA produces only a tiny fraction. Russia has no need for our pathetic dribble. This U1 furore is bullshit.

You....

Eat a little yellow cake. Might help your condition.

Russia is selling now.

 

[OldJourno]

I'm point blank asking where is the evidence that the FBI and DOJ shared this information with the committee heads and Obama. Everything in that reporting says that it was sat on.

In case you haven't noticed, the FBI has formed a political alliance - and it ain't with the Republicans. I'm not sure how the weeding out is going under Sessions (keeping track would be tedious at best), but it will take time.

Republicans have known about Uranium 1 for about as long as they've been voting to repeal ACA.

The whole bunch of them are corrupt and liars.

Of course they are. Did you just arrive in Amerikkka from Utopia last week? USA has been world-renowned for corruption since day one. Pretty cheap, too, compared to most of the world. Pols here are bargains. I dunno if Dums or Gups are the discount leaders now. Gup lawmakers have been pretty worthless lately.

Power abhors a vacuum. Nice people do not attain power, wealth, status, bennies. Nice leaders are more-or-less smoothly usurped by the usual ruthless assholes. It's Darwinian, hey? Checks-and-balances supposedly prevent a takeover. Is that working?

I was just born yesterday, or a day or two before that.

All I know is both dominant parties are corrupt as fuck.

Nothing is working as of yet.

$1280 tax reform? ??

As of now, both parties with their long held beliefs and and no working together....

we all have a LONG road ahead.

Stupid shit for sure.

 

[about_average]

How many of those others people who signed off on this were paid millions of dollars to do so?

I'm pretty sure the money went to the Clinton Foundation charity.
I've seen no evidence that shows Clinton used the charity's money to pay personal bills.
So she wasn't paid anything to sign off on the deal.

You must be thinking of Trump's charity which he's used on numerous occasions to pay personal and business bills.

Protecting.

Nothing will change if we don't expect something better from both parties.

Uranium One had purchased rights to a lot of that Kazak uranium, Russia wanted it back. Whether U1's drive to buy up Kazak uranium was politically driven or just a business move, I don't know, but by nature it was a political act. The Russians did what anyone would expect to protect their interests. The question is whether those interests are those of an enemy of the US, which is the theme of the entire 'Russiagate' hysteria. If they are, then Hillary and Obama did a bad thing by letting Russian have its uranium supply back. If they aren't, then all this russophobia is bullshit.

Russia wanted it back from the CANADIAN company. Had U1 sold its small US rights to a US firm, we wouldn't be in this furor now.

Both the Russian defense minister and the US UN ambassador have declared that Russia is waging war on USA. Doesn't sound like friendship.

Blame? Obama, Hillary (who seemingly wasn't involved), and DoD-CIA-FBI, and several other federal agencies, none of which objected.

If conservatives had any sense, we wouldn't be in this furor now.

Russia's at war with us? Better do something about that election meddling then.

Well of course. It worked very well with Hillary Clinton. They even admitted as much. After eight, nine committees on Benghazi and the relentless hammering away at the email. They discovered that using the US government as a weapon against their political enemies works. And we as a citizenry let them. Donald saw the example and of course he's going to exploit it.

But will we let him get away with it?

Yup, maybe. Great observations. At some point, even if you don't like Hillary, stop already! Leave the woman alone....IMO

Just because "they" say we are at war, doesn't mean we are. My question is, where isthe great American ingenuity with regards to cybersecurity? Are we the inventors of great things? Why can't we stop hacking? What goes on at NSA?
