Even the Washington Post says Clintons should be investigates!

The New York Times reported in 2015 that "shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock."
In total, $145 million went to the Clinton Foundation from interests linked to Uranium One, which was acquired by the Russian government nuclear agency Rosatum.
Ask yourself: How many half-a-million-dollar speeches has Bill Clinton given to Kremlin-linked banks since Hillary Clinton was defeated? How much Russian money is flowing into the Clinton Foundation's coffers today?
If Donald Trump had given a $500,000 speech paid for by a Kremlin bank, and his private foundation had accepted $145 million from Vladimir Putin-linked oligarchs and their Western business partners, do you think that his critics would be insisting there was nothing to see here?
We should all be deeply by concerned how much Russian cash was sloshing around Washington, and how much of it found its way into the bank accounts of the Clintons and those around them. And we should all, Democrats and Republicans alike, want to get to the bottom of it.
An FBI informant involved in the controversial Uranium One deal has told congressional committees that Moscow paid millions to a U.S. lobbying firm in a bid to influence then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by helping former President Bill Clinton’s charities during the Obama administration.
The Hill first reported late Wednesday that informant Douglas Campbell gave a 10-page statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee, House Intelligence Committee and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and was interviewed for several hours behind closed doors by committee staff .
The FBI had evidence as early as 2009 that Russian operatives used bribes, kickbacks and other dirty tactics to expand Moscow’s atomic energy footprint in the U.S., related to a subsidiary of the same Russian firm.
Frank Giustra was the principal Uranium One Donor to the Clinton Foundation.
Ian Telfer, another Uranium One investor, donated $2.3 million to the Clinton Foundation during and after the interagency review.
Uranium One, based in Toronto, is a subsidary of Rosatom, Russia's state-owned nuclear technology corporation. Uranium One owns uranium reserves and operates a mine in Willow Creek, Wyo.
Bill Clinton met Canadian investor Frank Giustra in June 2005, during a fund-raiser at Mr. Giustra’s Vancouver home. Giustra discussed his interest in acquiring Kazakhstan uranium assets with President Nazarbayev during the visit. Giustra initially denied this but was later forced to admit discussions had taken place.
Frank Giustra owned UrAsia, a small – and newly formed – uranium company that was seeking to purchase lucrative uranium reserves in Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan has about one-fifth of the world’s uranium reserves.
Giustra and Clinton had a private meeting with Kazakhstan President Nazarbayev on September 6, 2005.
UrAsia (Giustra’s company) signed two memorandums of understanding with Kazatomprom (Kazakhstan national atomic company) to become partners in three uranium mines on September 8, 2005 – two days after Clinton’s visit.
Frank Giustra donated a total of $145 million in a series of payments to the Clinton Foundation.
These donations appeared to be directly tied to the series of transactions involving UrAsia, Kazatomprom, Uranium One and ultimately Rosatom (Russia’s Nuclear Agency).
$31.3 million came directly after the closing of the UrAsia/Kazatomprom transaction in early 2006 (more below).
In addition to Telfer’s donations, between $1.3 million and $5.6 million in contributions came from multiple people with ties to Uranium One and/or UrAsia.
Giustra pledged another $100 million in June 2007, after the closing of Uranium One’s acquisition of Giustra’s company, UrAsia.
UrAsia paid $450 million to Kazatomprom to enter into the partnership.
The agreement transformed UrAsia from a small unknown shell company into one of the world’s largest uranium producers overnight.
Four months later, in January 2006, Giustra made the $31.3 million donation to the Clinton Foundation .
This donation was kept secret until it was discovered in December 2007.
February 2007, the head of Kazatomprom, Moukhtar Dzhakishev, traveled to the U.S. to meet with Bill Clinton and Frank Giustra at Clinton’s home.
Mr. Dzhakishev said “he wanted to discuss Kazakhstan’s intention [not publicly known at the time] to buy a 10 percent stake in Westinghouse”, a United States supplier of nuclear technology.
Both Clinton and Giustra repeatedly denied (LIED) this meeting took place – until they were confronted with evidence from the New York Times .
Mr. Giustra told our office that in February 2007, he brought Mr. Dzhakishev from Kazatomprom to meet with President Clinton to discuss the future of nuclear energy.”
Dzhakishev would later be arrested, in May 2009, for arranging corrupt uranium transactions with foreign companies .
June 14, 2009: A subsidiary of the Russian atomic energy agency Rosatom gains a 17 percent ownership share in Uranium One.
November 2009: With the permission of the FBI, an American businessman begins making kickback payments at the direction of Vadim Mikerin, “the main Russian overseeing Putin’s nuclear expansion inside the United States.” Between 2009 and 2012, with the approval of Rosatom, Mikerin would use bribes and extortion to compromise “American contractors in the nuclear industry.”
June 29,2010: The New York Times timeline notes, “Bill Clinton is paid $500,000 for a speech in Moscow by a Russian investment bank with ties to the Kremlin that assigned a buy rating to Uranium One stock.” President Putin reportedly personally thanked Clinton for giving the speech.
October 2010: Rosatom’s majority ownership of Uranium One is approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States. The company’s most valuable assets are the mining rights originally owned by UrAsia Energy Ltd., thanks to the deal reached just one day after former President Clinton left Kazakhstan.
2011: The administration gave approval for Rosatom’s Tenex subsidiary to sell commercial uranium to U.S. nuclear power plants in a partnership with the United States Enrichment Corp. Before then, Tenex had been limited to selling U.S. nuclear power plants reprocessed uranium recovered from dismantled Soviet nuclear weapons under the 1990s Megatons to Megawatts peace program.
January 2013: Rosatom takes 100% control of Uranium One and takes the company private.
A common rebuttal to criticisms of the Uranium One transaction is that no uranium was actually allowed to leave the U.S. – something the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) supposedly assured Congress at the time of the transaction.
It turns out the NRC quietly granted export licenses to RSB Logistics. Licenses that added Uranium One to the list of RSB clients for whom RSB could move uranium. As noted in a November 2, 2017 article titled, Uranium One Deal Led to Some Exports to Europe.
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.

And Giustra’s ties to the Clintons do not end with Uranium One.
In 2015, it was discovered that a Canadian charity affiliated with the Clinton Foundation had failed to reveal the identities of its 1,100 donors. The charity, the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, was founded by Frank Giustra:
For Frank Giustra, who had never met the former president, this was an opportunity. The Canadian mining magnate and onetime Hollywood studio owner stepped up to let the former president borrow his luxurious passenger jet. There was just one condition: Giustra would come along for the ride.
That 2005 trip was the start of an intense, mutually beneficial friendship — one that has helped propel the Clinton Foundation into a global giant and established Giustra’s reputation as an international philanthropist while helping him build connections in countries where his business was expanding.
Clinton has also gained regular transportation, borrowing Giustra’s plane 26 times for foundation business since 2005, including 13 trips in which the two men traveled together.
Giustra continued to expand his business empire, closing some of the biggest deals of his career in the same countries where he traveled with Clinton.
two for-profit companies were created in Cartagena. One was a job-training center to teach locals how to work at the port. The other was a food supplier that helped support fishers and farmers by selling their products to hotels and supermarkets.
Bill Clinton and Frank Giustra launched both companies using funding from the Clinton Foundation’s Colombia-based private investment fund, Fondo Acceso.
Giustra’s business involvements with the Clintons extended beyond Kazakhstan:
A few weeks after returning from Kazakhstan in 2005, Giustra attended his first meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative in New York.
There, he was introduced to the leader of another country where he had business interests: Álvaro Uribe of Colombia.
Giustra’s interests in Colombia included gold mines, port construction, timber and, more recently, oil production.
An American businessman who worked for years undercover as an FBI confidential witness was blocked by the Obama Justice Department from telling Congress about conversations and transactions he witnessed related to the Russian nuclear industry’s efforts to win favor with Bill and Hillary Clinton and influence Obama administration decisions.
Tons more showing the Clinton corruption!
on August 28th, 2015, an FBI special agent sent a notification to preserve records to: •Nuclear Regulatory Commission; •The U.S. Dept. of Treasury; •Office of Director of National Intelligence (ODNI James Clapper); •The National Counter Terrorism Center; and the •U.S. Department of Energy (DoE).
