Unbelievable. Totally jeopardizes national security and assists Russia's nuclear capabilities:




Uranium investors’ efforts to buy mining assets in Kazakhstan and the United States led to a takeover bid by a Russian state-owned energy company. The investors gave millions to the Clinton Foundation over the same period, while Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s office was involved with approving the Russian bid.

of how all this works with foreign investors and Russia and uranium mining, and that's fine. But it looks really bad on several levels, especially given our recent history with Russia.

Though is it? And I doubt they are all coming from this same guy. I know I would like to know more about it. Let me know if you see anything that could possibly explain this pay for play thing as it is very disturbing.
