Big shakes in RW world - The Uranium One indictments (11)- ???

I see no coverage of this in anything close to the MSM other than Fox News. I see it all over Facebook.

Thoughts?


Here is Fox News with Judicial Watch

Mark Lambert, a Maryland transportation firm executive, faces 11 counts of money laundering and wire fraud for allegedly bribing Russian officials to win contracts to transport uranium.

The indictment comes after reports in late December that the Justice Department was taking a new look into the Obama-era deal that gave Russia partial control of the U.S. uranium supply.

Zero to do with Clinton. DOJ statement simply outlines one on one bribery for contracts. Fred Sanders Jan 2018 #1
Investigation started in 2014. Goes back to deals as far back as 2004. Not Uranium One related. Roland99 Jan 2018 #2
Correct. Foxxx is just spinning a way to connect to Clinton via the usual method - lying. Fred Sanders Jan 2018 #3
Excellent. Thanks. underpants Jan 2018 #5

"The kickback scheme and Rosatom's 2010 purchase of a controlling interest in the Canadian company Uranium One were entirely separate. The kickback plan locked in contracts for an American firm to import Russian uranium. The other deal involved buying Uranium One stock. They involved different Rosatom subsidiaries and different activities."

If Fox and Judicial Watch aren't careful, they'll give their dim-bulb audiences the idea that money laundering and wire fraud are real, prosecutable, go-to-jail crimes, and they won't have an out when indictments are handed down for just those kinds of shenanigans against the Trump Crime Family.
