THERE IS NO URANIUM ONE SCANDAL.

It's a fake, manufactured "scandal" by right wing kooks and the moronic Trump administration, his lackeys, and his pea brained supporters. All a ruse to try and take the heat off the real scandal, that Trump personally colluded with Russia and Putin to win the election and directed his entire campaign staff to do so.

Far more evidence directly linking Trump to going out of his way to collude with Russia/Putin to win the election than anything Uranium One.

The one Sessions just said he isn't starting due to lack of evidence.

Yeah now go look at the update where he says it's wrong to use the DoJ against political opponents and right now he's not starting one...

Yeah I like politicians getting investigated so this isn't good news to me either. Investigating Clinton was trumps only policy I supported.

Wiener is in prison now

A slow start* FIFY

hes in 1% Club Fed basically relaxing and doing health fitness farm stuff, three months and a new man.

I think the community should vote on whether or not you're allowed to make comments like that.

Happy 2nd month on Reddit!

Happy year and a half to you. Right before the elections. Good time for conspiracies.

There is some degree of a Uranium one scandal. For instance, if Obama knew about the bribery and extortion connected to that deal and allowed it to happen anyways that's at least scandalous. It does seem like there was a cover-up.

omg I didn't vote for Trump and don't like him and am a leftie but even I can see there's more evidence of Clinton corruption than there is of Trump corruption. Assuming everything negative about 'your team' is a lie a priori and that everything negative about the 'other side' must be de facto true is just a really dumb way to go through life.

Except that Bill and Hill took $140 million in bribes...

There is no evidence of Trump Russia collusion. Don't lie just because you supported a cheating corporate whore.

Urainium must be refined to a certain percentage to be considered a national resource, this was mining dirt that was not yet processed if there is anything.

/as the Trumpsters would say about Trump giving Putin a BJ; "it's a nothing burger".

Not really. It's a uranium mine. American workers extract the ore and process it then it is presumably sold in the nuclear energy market. Uranium must be enriched in order to make it usable as fuel for nuclear reactors. It must be highly enriched in order to be used in nuclear weapons. It would be a stretch to think that Russia purchased Uranium One (for about 1.3 billion) for the sole purpose of obtaining the rights to the Willow Creek mine just so they could ship it off for some dark, nefarious purpose. It's ridiculous because; 1. Russia has around 600 tons of Highly Enriched Uranium stockpiled already... and 2. Willow Creek ran an operating deficit of about $10 million last year. I don't really think Russia gives a rip about our uranium.

Trump talking to Putin is not high treason.

The Clintons and Obama didn't sell anything. If you want to get into influence peddling... have at it. Unseemly, yes... Illegal, no. Uranium One was a Canadian-owned company. The owners of that company are the ones that did the selling. CFIUS reviewed the sale and did not block it. The sale transferred the mining rights for the Willow Creek operation to Rosatom. It was a full two years before Willow Creek became operational. They are not producing significant amounts of uranium today... in fact in 2016 they ran a $10 million operating deficit.

The goal of the Rosatom purchase of Uranium One was their Kazakhstan operation... not Willow Creek.

The problem is not the sale of uranium to Russia, the problem is that the Clintons took $140 million in bribes to help the deal.

and the first $30M was in 2005 during the Bushco years, so theres likely some duplicity by certain GOP people too.

notice the MSM is using thirty million earned in 2016 to obscure the Russian thirty million from ten years earlier, people googling will get the 2016 news stories and walk way happy the U1 stuff is fake.

It's a good thing that the donation it was to the Clinton foundation, the most transparent political foundation due to constant Republican allegations since it's inception, also, why pay Clintons when there were about 20 other people who would have also needed to be paid off if it wasn't a routine purchase of one foreign company to another foreign company.

There was no enriched or even base refined uranium, much less a weapon grade uranium. The GOP wants to claim there's no difference between U-235 and U-238.

Russia controls more uranium enrichment plants than any nation in the world. They have them all across the globe, including places like China and Iran.

Perhaps source your claim dude. NPR just had a segment on the Sessions segment today and discussed the likelihood of a legit Clinton investigation with special council (Sessions himself today just said they need more than allegations and suspicions to launch something like that). It's being covered, sans the THIS IS IT FOLKS! tone and depth conservative MSM is providing, as one would expect.

I think they should investigate personally. But you need to tell all this to Jeff.

tell all this to Jeff.

hes a big enough boy to know this already.

Sessions is testifying live on CNN as we speak, i saw him squash any investgation into U1/HRC due to a lack of evidence.

Write a letter to the sitting A.G. with your concerns.

Didn’t the guy who was supposed to do that nominate this guy?

no, the person who got the most electoral votes was. Trump did. He appointed Sessions, who is apparently “the swamp”, despite all that stuff about draining it

Add it to other meaningless rhetoric like “we’re gonna build a wall and make Mexico pay for it” and “lock her up”

Remember when trumpiees lorded sessions as the best man for the job?

LOL there it is

Serious question, I've posted this same question in another thread, looking to see if anyone knows the answer. I've researched and can't find anything definitive. Can Trump and/or Mnuchin reverse the Council of Foreign Investment (I think that's the 9 person panel name) decision on Uranium One? For example, can they reverse it and require Uranium One to divest their interest in the US mines to a company/companies cleared as a non-national security threat? I'm not sure, but I think Obama or Bush did that with some Chinese companies. Seems that if it is questionable, not in the US interest, etc... the admi should push to reverse it...

I would assume the same. Prior examples against China called out that their access to mines or factories were in close proximity to military bases. Seems the same could be used in this U1 situation, if not just a blanket that we know determine that uranium is a resource that is in out best interest to maintain at home.
