    He is correct, no US Uranium went to Russia, even stretching the Hannity lover's article on THEHILL doesn't back that claim

    so a lefty like Piezoe and exthinker read this... and still lie that no uranium left the coutry.

    yet here is the very article that exthinker linked to



    http://thehill.com/policy/national-...-led-to-some-exports-to-europe-memos-show?amp


    "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....

  5. We're supposed to believe the leftist take on this, yet the highest level people in the democratic party are now admitting collusion in the democratic primary to rig the election for Clinton. No, I'm afraid the criminally corrupt Clinton foundation has been outed, not by republicans, but by democrats themselves. The tentacles of their corruption spread far and wide across the globe, and this uranium money deal to enrich themselves is just one more example.

    8. Office of Science & Technology Policy
    and independent nuclear commission and The state of Utah nuclear regulator who all signed off on the deal get a piece of the loot or was Hillary able to get all of them to agree to the sale without giving them some of the 150 million?

  8. No, I'd just call that rubber stamping and general government indifference. The boss says sign here, and they sign.

    Your other claim


    Every single one of you is intellectually bankrupt and disingenuous. There is no point arguing morally corrupt Cons. They reach their conclusions first and then look for evidence. There are simply no honest Cons, it's an ideology for the dumb and the vile.
