Interesting to see this come out.
Before the Obama administration approved a controversial deal in 2010 giving Moscow control of a large swath of American uranium, the FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin's atomic energy business inside the United States, according to government documents and interviews.
Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.

They also obtained an eyewitness account - backed by documents - indicating Russian nuclear officials had routed millions of dollars to the U.S. designed to benefit former President Bill Clinton's charitable foundation during the time Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government body that provided a favorable decision to Moscow, sources told The Hill.
The racketeering scheme was conducted "with the consent of higher level officials" in Russia who "shared the proceeds" from the kickbacks, one agent declared in an affidavit years later.
Rather than bring immediate charges in 2010, however, the Department of Justice (DOJ) continued investigating the matter for nearly four more years, essentially leaving the American public and Congress in the dark about Russian nuclear corruption on U.S. soil during a period when the Obama administration made two major decisions benefiting Putin's commercial nuclear ambitions.
The first decision occurred in October 2010, when the State Department and government agencies on the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States unanimously approved the partial sale of Canadian mining company Uranium One to the Russian nuclear giant Rosatom, giving Moscow control of more than 20 percent of America's uranium supply.

This article lists every word but the most important one: Treason. If ever there was a time to bring back the previous President and others involved in order to gain a clear understanding of what occurred it is this event. This is a betrayal of the American People.

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint - I read the first story in The Hill. Besides the previous President utilizing the federal powers of the investigative agencies to conduct surveillance operations on their political opponent this Russian uranium exchange for payments is one of the biggest political events of our lives and Congress is doing nothing to investigate it.

It was out before. No one wanted to listen. Parts of this were even documented in anti-Clinton movie. Regardless, the Obama Administration approved Uranium assets sale to Russians KNOWING all of this.

Until nbc, abc, cbs, cnn and msnbc pick it up it's a big "nothing burger" in the eyes of the far left.
