Grassley probes Clinton's 'conflicts of interest' over uranium deal with Russia

Chuck Grassley, a top Republican senator, is probing potential "conflicts of interest" by Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration over the 2010 approval of a uranium deal with a Russian company that provides them with a significant amount of the world's supply of uranium. Now there are new details about donations from "interested parties" and the FBI corruption probe involving employees of the same Russian company that bought up Hillary's 'product.'

"This committee has an obligation to get to the bottom of this issue," Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said Wednesday using his best 'Susan Collins' impression. This came at the start of a hearing with Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

According to The Hill, the FBI had evidence in 2009 that Russian operatives used kickbacks, bribes and other leftist-ish tactics to expand Moscow's atomic energy footprint in the U.S.--but Obama approved the uranium deal benefitting Moscow in spite of it. 

Grassley released a bunch of letters that he'd fired off last week to ten federal agencies that raised the question of whether the committee that approved the uranium transaction was aware of the FBI probe. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) included Hillary Clinton, who was our incompetent secretary of state at the time.

When asked about the concerns of the hearing, Sessions told Grassley that the Justice Department will take "appropriate" actions, which means they will act concerned and upset then do nothing because our government is corrupt.

"I hear your concerns and they will be reviewed," Sessions said. He did not directly respond to a question from Grassley as to whether the Justice Department also probed whether the Russians compromised the Obama administration to "smooth the way" for the treasonous deal.

"It wouldn't be appropriate for me to comment on any ongoing investigation," Sessions said, alluding to the notion that an investigation is in full swing.

The deal, previously reported, involved the 2010 approval of a partial sale of Canadian mining company Uranium One to Russia's Rosatom nuclear company. The U.S. government was involved because the sale gave Russia control of a significant portion of the uranium supply in the U.S. and at last look, it turns out that Russia has also received yellow cake uranium which is used in making nuclear bombs.

Grassley noted in his letters that he isn't "convinced" by previous "assurances" that there were no unresolved national security concerns, (such as the Russians making even more nuclear weapons).

Previous reports indicate that figures tied to the transaction gave donations to Bill Clinton and his family foundation. Grassley wrote that he learned additional details about a $500,000 fee Bill Clinton got from a Russian investment bank for a June 2010 speech. The speech was probably worth around $500.00 or less.

I seriously doubt that Hillary or Bill will be prosecuted for this treasonous deal nor will Barack Obama lose a night's sleep over it.

Grassley made it clear he is concerned about the FBI probe into "corruption and extortion" involving employees of a Rosatom subsidiary dating back to 2009, before the 2010 approval.

Something stinks in the woods.
