Внезапно вся левая лента забита разоблачениями республиканской лжи про Uranium One. Не меньше дюжины статей за последние пару часов. И Клинтон тут ни при чем, и не 20%, а только 2%, и никто ничего не знал, и самое главное – это республиканцы отвлекают внимание от Пападопулоса! A Giant Fog Machine!
Республиканцам бы хоть десять процентов такой партийной дисциплины.

Некоторые детали про уран, без новостей, но довольно полный обзор истории.

Увидал первую статью про реанимированный скандал в “серьезном издании”. Содержание понятное: не на что тут смотреть, проходите, не задерживайтесь. Никаких доказательств нет, Клинтон ни про что не знала, все в порядке, это просто Брейтбарт и Ханнити отвлекают внимание от Настоящих Проблем. Упоминаний про миллионы, переведенные интересантами в фонд Клинтонов, нету до самого последнего раздела, который объясняет нам, что нету никакой разницы между этими миллионами и платой иностранцев за номер в трамповском отеле.
Все как и следовало ожидать, в общем.

Ишь, посыпалось как. И все из The Hill; справа радостно пересказывают, слева никто ничего не замечает.

Ко вчерашнему:
The Senate Judiciary Committee has launched a probe into a Russian nuclear bribery case, demanding several federal agencies disclose whether they knew the FBI had uncovered the corruption before the Obama administration in 2010 approved a controversial uranium deal with Moscow.
Поди ж ты; а я думал, эту историю замяли навсегда. Гарантий, однако, никаких; мало ли что творится там под ковром.
Интересно, откуда вдруг такая активность. Я бы предположил, что демократы со своим Резистансом пересекли некую невидимую черту, и кто-то в Вашингтоне решил пересмотреть действовавшие прежде всякие неписаные правила вроде прощения грехов предыдущей администрации.

Before the Obama administration approved a controversial deal in 2010 giving Moscow control of a large swath of American uranium, the FBI had gathered substantial evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were engaged in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering designed to grow Vladimir Putin’s atomic energy business inside the United States, according to government documents and interviews.

They also obtained an eyewitness account — backed by documents — 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, sources told The Hill.

Rather than bring immediate charges in 2010, however, the Department of Justice (DOJ) continued investigating the matter for nearly four more years, essentially leaving the American public and Congress in the dark about Russian nuclear corruption on U.S. soil during a period when the Obama administration made two major decisions benefitting Putin’s commercial nuclear ambitions.
История известная; отчего бы это The Hill про нее вспомнил сейчас? Впрочем, деталей про ФБР и Департамент Юстиции вроде раньше не было.

Книга Швейцера, похоже, станет серьезным фактором в этой кампании.
Jo Becker & Mike McIntire, NYT:
As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.
And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.
(Reuters) – Hillary Clinton’s family’s charities are refiling at least five annual tax returns after a Reuters review found errors in how they reported donations from governments, and said they may audit other Clinton Foundation returns in case of other errors.
The foundation and its list of donors have been under intense scrutiny in recent weeks. Republican critics say the foundation makes Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, vulnerable to undue influence. Her campaign team calls these claims “absurd conspiracy theories.”
Ron Fournier, National Journal:
Who is repackaging and twisting facts into absurd conspiracy theories? I can’t say that about Schweitzer; I haven’t read his book. But I do know what the Clintons are capable of.
