John Durham’s Investigation Takes Over Parts of US Attorney John Huber’s Clinton Foundation Probe

Remember US Attorney John Huber? He was appointed by then Attorney General Jeff Sessions to look into the Clinton Foundation, and when it was revealed that he did practically nothing, his investigations were turned over US Attorney John Durham as part of his review into the origins of the Russia probe.

A source familiar with Durham’s investigation on Thursday said that elements of what Huber was investigating in 2017 that involved the Clinton Foundation, have been merged into Durham’s investigation.

In November 2017, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Huber, the US attorney for Utah, and other senior prosecutors to evaluate “certain issues” involving the sale of Uranium One, and other dealings associated to the Clinton Foundation. One of those issues was a $145 million bribe to the Clinton Foundation for Hillary Clinton’s influence over the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States (CFIUS) to vote for the sale of Uranium One to the Russians. They wanted the company, which held 20% of US uranium deposits, because Vladimir Putin wanted to corner the North American market on uranium.

Sessions tapped Huber after demands by congressional Republicans, who were calling for the appointment of a special counsel to look into the matters. It now appears like Sessions made the appointment just to get the congressmen off his back.

Huber was additionally tasked with reviewing the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email probe/scandal, along with allegations that the Justice Department and FBI “policies or procedures” weren’t followed.

The source added that many are “very concerned about why there hadn’t been more done.”

You do realize that Clinton was one of 8+ people/organisations that had to okay the sale and the final say was Obama. So if someone did bribe Clinton, then there was 8+ others who could block the sale. Or are you saying that the CIA, NSA, Obama and others ALL got bribed to sell a small uranium mine company?

No. At the time they had 20% of the licensend production/refining capacity in the US.. that is now around 10%.

Regardless, any uranium mined and produced/refined in the US has to be sold to US government approved clients, which usually means the US government it self. Just because a Russian company owns it, does not mean the uranium goes to Russia. Remember, the previous owner was Canadian.

On top of all that, to be approved, the deal had to pass national security concerns and a bunch of other regulatory hurdles and if just one of 8+ agencies put up a red flag, then it would have been stopped.

That is why this story is all about nothing.
 
"Any port in a storm"

Even starts out with "what about".

Don't you all love the smell of desperation in the morning.

Why not "lock her up" instead of whatabouting her name to death ?

Seemed as though the cult was pretty sure she would be locked up by now.

After all that mindless chanting they did.

Maybe it’s because the GOP beat this dead horse relentlessly four years ago.

It was made up nonsense from a guy paid to write right wing attack screeds for use by right wing media to push its various memes.

Schweitzer never had much credibility. But he had more than Jerome Corsi, who had been the go to mouthpiece for anti Clinton attack books for two decades.

Hillary Clinton is not running for President. There never was any evidence that she was involved in making sure that the Russians could buy interest in Uranium One.

That deal would certainly have gone through under Trump. Putin would have mentioned it in one of his many phone conversations with Trump, and that would have been it.

Oh, and so you’ll be spared future disappointment, Barack Obama is not running for President either.

That's not how these things usually go. Not Russians offering $145 million to Clinton to approve the sale but instead the Clintons demanding $145 million to not block the sale.

What exactly is the "media" ignoring? All I saw was a bunch of warmed over nonsense. And it's about Hillary, and last I checked she's not running for any office.

What is the worst case here? So a Russian company owns 20% of U.S. active reserves. Sounds bad! They can't export any of it without Trump's approval, and so now we have the possibility that a Russian owned company will be mining uranium and selling it in the U.S. if we want and need the production, and the uranium cannot be exported unless we allow it specifically.

And we import about 90% of our uranium because mining for it is dirty business and we don't want to do it. So that means the sale transferred to a Russian owned company about 20% of 10% or 2% of our annual usage. Doesn't seem like much, and Canada supplies 24%, Australia 18%. And Uranium is a commodity traded on world markets. So if the Russian shut down all that production, other countries fill in the gap.

Anyway, when this came up years ago, I tried to figure out what the issue was and never could do it. As far as I could tell, the issue was URANIUM!!! NUCLEAR!! CLINTON!!! with no dots connecting anywhere, nor any reason to care if the dots did connect.. If we need more uranium, it's all over the place, all that's missing is a profit for U.S. companies to mine it in the U.S.

Actually it is. Only so much uranium is needed, so having 20% of the production/capacity does not mean that Uranium One would be using said capacity.

Also, any sale of uranium in the US, has to go through the US government.. so who really cares who owns what, if the market is so "communist" that the US government determines who can get the uranium that is produced by anyone in the US. And the US could easily nationalise any company they wish.

And again, why was it not a problem when it was owned by the Canadians?
 
Pay to play, the Hildabeast was selling the US off piece by piece.

It's just a repeat of the Point answered a thousand time. It happens over and over again. A lie, repeated 10,000 times can be believed by the gullible
