The operative word in that article is "designed". It doesn't meanit actually worked, you moron! It's a red herring only idiots like yourself would sheeply believe means the Clintons were bribed to make the deal go through. Because the details surrounding that deal show that Hillary Clinton could have, at best, had a minimal impact on the matter.

And 'ownership' doesn't always mean 'control', as the uranium still is in the US under control of a US subsidiary that is refulates by the fedral government.The Uranium One deal was not Clinton’s to veto or approve
Among the ways these accusations stray from the facts is in attributing a power of veto or approval to Secretary Clinton that she simply did not have. Clinton was one of nine cabinet members and department heads that sit on the CFIUS, and the secretary of the treasury is its chairperson. CFIUS members are collectively charged with evaluating the transaction for potential national security issues, then turning their findings over to the president. By law, the committee can’t veto a transaction; only the president can. According to The New York Times, Clinton may not have even directly participated in the Uranium One decision. Then-Assistant Secretary of State Jose Fernandez, whose job it was to represent the State Dept. on CFIUS, said Clinton herself “never intervened” in committee matters.
Despite transfer of ownership, the uranium remained in the U.S.
A key fact ignored in criticisms of Clinton’s supposed involvement in the deal is that the uranium was not — nor could it be — exported, and remained under the control of U.S.-based subsidiaries of Uranium One, according to a statement by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission:
NRC’s review of the transfer of control request determined that the U.S. subsidiaries will
remain the licensees, will remain qualified to conduct the uranium recovery operations, and will continue to have the equipment, facilities, and procedures necessary to protect public health and safety and to minimize danger to life or property. The review also determined that the licensees will maintain adequate financial surety for eventual decommissioning of the sites. Neither Uranium One nor ARMZ holds an NRC export license, so no uranium produced at either facility may be exported.
And directly about the revelations by The Hill that you reference:
Bottom line: A big fat nothingburger!Update
On 17 October 2017, The Hill reported obtaining evidence that Vadim Mikerin, a Russian official who oversaw the American operations of the Russian nuclear agency Rosatom, was being investigated for corruption by multiple U.S. agencies while the Uranium One deal was up for approval — information that apparently was not shared with U.S. officials involved in approving the transaction. The Hill also reported receiving documents and eyewitness testimony “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,” although no specifics about who those Russian nuclear officials were or how the money was allegedly routed to the Clinton Foundation were given. In any case, none of these revelations prove that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton participated in a quid pro quo agreement to accept payment for approval of the Uranium One deal.
It's not a nothing burger. But the fact is the committee that recommended the deal be approved is composed of nine cabinet members and Clinton was only one of them. Its role was only advisory and the final decision was up to Obama. The Russian company couldn't get approval by bribing Clinton.
Also, the uranium remained in the US and is still in the US. It can't go anywhere without going through another long process. AFAIK the Russians are not even trying to remove it.
The Clintons definitely used their foundation to accumulate and wield influence, like many government personnel use the revolving door to enrich themselves. It's a problem, call it the swamp if you like, and the Clintons are some of the biggest players. But it is NOT accurate to suggest they endangered national security by allowing this deal to go through in exchange for money. It's simply not factual.
HILLARY WON

Mueller Now Investigating Democratic Lobbyist Tony Podesta
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...odesta-n812776
What a fucking boss. This is the man actually draining the swamp.The probe of Podesta and his Democratic-leaning lobbying firm grew out of Mueller's inquiry into the finances of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to the sources. As special counsel, Mueller has been tasked with investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
