    More selective reading from the Breitbart troll

    Uranium went to Europe for enrichment and on NRC orders, book transfers were made to US approved European facilities. It wasn't a physical shipment aka export by Uranium One. Book transfer orders came from NRC.

    After claiming for weeks that Hillary gave US Uranium to Russia, now you are changing your story to Hillary gave US Uranium to Europeans? The other parties were Europeans approved by NRC, not Russians. Russians have zero need for this tiny bit of Uranium when they own 14% of world's Uranium as opposed to US's 0.4%.

    Try that with your fellow Breibarters, won't fly here.

    why do you continue to be such a traitor... you are making shit up and taking things you do understand or are out of context and pretending they mean something... you want them to mean... although the plain english shows you are misrepresenting the situation. ...

    here is the plain english again...

    from your link... phyisical Uranium from Uranium One did go to Europe.

    "Uranium One's American arm, however, emailed a statement to The Hill on Wednesday evening confirming it did export uranium to Canada through the trucking firm and that 25 percent of that nuclear fuel eventually made its way outside North America to Europe and Asia, stressing all the exports complied with federal law."

    and its confirmed in your article again...

    Yet NRC memos reviewed by The Hill show that it did approve the shipment of yellowcake uranium - the raw material used to make nuclear fuel and weapons - from the Russian-owned mines in the United States to Canada in 2012 through a third party. Later, the Obama administration approved some of that uranium going all the way to Europe, government documents show.

    NRC officials said they could not disclose the total amount of uranium that Uranium One exported because the information is proprietary. They did, however, say that the shipments only lasted from 2012 to 2014 and that they are unaware of any exports since then.

    NRC officials told The Hill that Uranium One exports flowed from Wyoming to Canada and on to Europe between 2012 and 2014, and the approval involved a process with multiple agencies....

    Thanks for debunking your own BS

    Nothing was exported, book transfers happened on the orders of NRC to Europe and Asia, where is the Russian collusion here?

    Russians wanted a tiny percentage of 3% of 0.4% of US uranium when they had 14% of entire world supply?

    Do you listen to yourself?

    exthinker... you are a massive liar... can your read this sentence...
    what does it tell you about where the nuclear fuel made its way.


    "Uranium One's American arm, however, emailed a statement to The Hill on Wednesday evening confirming it did export uranium to Canada through the trucking firm and that 25 percent of that nuclear fuel eventually made its way outside North America to Europe and Asia, stressing all the exports complied with federal law."

    It went to Canada for PROCESSING and then from there on NRC orders it went to Europe, so what? You do know what NRC is?

    so where you correct when you said...
    "Nothing was exported"

    were you correct when you said no Uranium left the country?

    Book transfers are not the same as physical export, that's stated in the very article you are quoting and it could have happened for many reasons since NRC was involved.

    was this a physical export of uranium?

    "Uranium One's American arm, however, emailed a statement to The Hill on Wednesday evening confirming it did export uranium to Canada through the trucking firm and that 25 percent of that nuclear fuel eventually made its way outside North America to Europe and Asia, stressing all the exports complied with federal law."
