The right wing can't shut up about Clinton Russia and Uranium...here is the real story.
A spokesman for Secretary Clinton said Thursday the continued focus on the Uranium One deal smacked of partisan politics aimed at benefiting Donald Trump.
At every turn this storyline has been debunked on the merits. Its roots are with a project shepherded by Steve Bannon, which should tell you all you need to know, said Nick Merrill. This latest iteration is simply more of the right doing Trumps bidding for him to distract from his own Russia problems, which are real and a grave threat to our national security.

Bill Clinton did not meet with any Russians.
What exactly wrong did Hillary do, except do her job as a diplomat.

Yes, I've seen this brought up several times today by people on Facebook as they attempt to use the "But Hillary!" defense to help bolster Donald Trump. They're desperate.

(31,464 posts)The bottom line is, Hillary Clinton did not sell uranium to Russia. The entire situation sounds stinky from top to bottom, but Clinton was not the driver here. Not by a long shot. Eight other agencies besides State had to sign off on the deal. But it's not as if Clinton signed off it and took the check. This was a Canadian company, and Russia was up to it's usual dirty dealing.

(2,807 posts)Just like there is no 'Our Oil'. You know how we get told we 'Need to drill baby drill' to increase 'our' domestic production of oil so we won't be beholden to them Dang Arabs and 'their' oil.
THERE IS NO OUR OIL!! ME AND YOU AND ALL THE REST OF US AMERICANS DON'T OWN ANY OIL. THE OIL INDUSTRY IN THE US IS NOT A STATE RUN BUSINESS!! Private companies produce, refine and sell oil all over the world. 'Our' Government doesn't produce or sell any oil. None. Zero. Zip. Never has, never will.
Same will Uranium.
It ain't like Fort Knox where we hoard our gold. We don't hoard 'Our' Uranium.
Internationally owned PRIVATE Companies dig Uranium ore from inside And outside the US. Some of these companies are based in the US, but most are not. They take a the ore they dig from inside the US and put it in the same pile of Uranium that they dug from Europe, Africa, and Asia. And these Private companies sell that pile of Uranium to whoever the hell pays for it. Russia or China or US or Iran. Or any number companies based in any damn country they damn well please.
So I would like for somebody to try to explain to me how Hillary and Bill Clinton sold 'Our' Uranium to Russia. Lol
Jesus wept, I am but a simple man but don't pee down my back and tell me it's raining.
