    don't let Trump mislead you, dachsie, he makes stuff up

    No, Hillary Clinton did not "give Russia 20 percent of the uranium” in the US
    https://www.vox.com/world/2017/2/17/14649980/trump-clinton-russia-uranium

    1. The mines, mills, and land the company holds in the US account for 20 percent of the US’s uranium production capacity, not actual produced uranium.
    2. The State Department was one of nine federal agencies and a number of additional independent federal and state regulators that signed off on the deal.
    3. President Obama, not Secretary Clinton, was the only person who could’ve vetoed the deal.
    4. Since Russia doesn’t have the legal right to export uranium out of the US, its main goal was likely to gain access to the company’s uranium assets in Kazakhstan.

    SO let me get this straight. Russia is our enemy and we are ready to burn this shit down if Trump worked with Russia, but under HRC and Obama, we sold them:

    The mines, mills, and land the company holds in the US account for 20 percent of the US’s uranium production capacity, not actual produced uranium.

    Further, HRC was in fact 1 of the votes. Oddly enough Bill got a $500K Russian check before she voted yes. You guys know damn good and well if we found something like this on Trump getting money from Russia you guys would bitch an moan until Trump was in prison.

    Trump did not give me this information. Vox is a blog site who is going to spin in to protect their darling Clinton - I doubt you are getting the facts either. Guess we will have to see what the FBI informant says.

    You really don't know what you're talking about because you probably never venture beyond Fox News.

    We've been over this time and time again.

    Not only all that, uranium prices are very low because there's a worldwide oversupply. Russia doesn't need uranium mined in America because it can get it on the open market all over the world, and it's ignorant to think that they needed or wanted to bribe Hillary or Obama to get it.

    This "uranium one" baloney is nothing more than a desperate Republican attempt to attach a Russian scandal of their own to Democrats... a preemptive attempt to deflect and mitigate the charges that Mueller is about to hit the Trump team with. And it's par for the course.... Republicans love to create "scandals" and investigations on the slightest of innuendos and circumstances for political reasons.... it's their m.o..... it's what they do because they know their consituents are a bunch of gullible sheep... like dachsie.
