THEY'RE GOING AFTER TRUMP

You needed a Reddittor to tell you this? Let me ask you this question Don Jr, Kushner and the Trump's Campaign Manager take a "high level and sensitive" meeting set up by a Russian oligarch family who are personal friends and business partners of the Trumps and nobody tells Donald? Do you really believe that?

Also cooked up? Have you read the email? Do you know who Emin and Aras are? Are you claiming personal friends of the Trump's are working with the "Dems?"

Good morning Emin just called and asked me to contact you with something very interesting. The Crown prosecutor of Russia met with his father Aras this morning and in their meeting offered to provide the Trump campaign with some official documents and information that would incriminate Hillary and her dealings with Russia and would be very useful to your father. This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump - helped along by Aras and Emin. What do you think is the best way to handle this information and would you be able to speak to Emin about it directly? I can also send this info to your father via Rhona, but it is ultra sensitive so wanted to send to you first. Best Rob Goldstone

'Are you claiming personal friends of the Trump's are working with the "Dems?"'

You REALLY REALLY didn't want to go there!

Take a look at this especially the last picture

And?

OK. You have a picture. That and $2.75 will let you ride the subway.

That and an email where the Clintons enthusiastically agree to collude with the Kremlin in their interference in the US election gets you anywhere near the mess the White House is in today.

If you don't got $2.75 you can't ride the subway.

If you don't got the Clintons tweeting out how they enthusiastically agreed to collude with the Kremlin, you don't get to play the WhatAboutGame. Thanks for playing. Don, tell them about their parting gift.

We got the Clinton's selling out our uranium supply to Russia. That is a yuuuge national security risk. But heck, let's go after Trump for tweeting.

BTW are they the same people that paid Bill Clinton $500,000 for speaking? Do you know what he said?

Nope. We have steady supply of Uranium. It's also super cheap to buy right now. You can get some for $40 on Amazon. We have a bunch and our friends Australia and Canada have the most in the world, we could just buy more from them if we needed more. A lot of our mines aren't not even producing right now, because the prices are so low.

The Uranium One deal did not involve an American company. It was a Canadian company that had mines in the US and Kazakhstan. It's the Kazakhstan mines that the Russians really wanted.

There's a process that the US Government set up to review transactions like this. It's called the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). It involves many parts of the US government and the CFIUS board is headed by the Treaury Department (not State). Congress has an oversight role. This process was followed in the Uranium One sale and the US government (not the Clintons) decided this sale presented no threat to the US government, because it didn't. The State Department's representative on the CFIUS board said Clinton had nothing to do with this transaction pro or con. One of the key reasons it posed no threat to national security is uranium mining has very strict oversight and you need a special export license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to export the uranium from the United State and Uranium One doesn't have one. So the owners of this mine can bring the uranium from the ground and sell it for a profit within the United state.

In the US 1126 tons of uranium were mined by various companies. 23 were mined by Uranium One. That's 2% of US Production.

Uranium prices have dropped considerably. Had the Russians waited a couple of years, they could have made that purchase must cheaper.

After Fukushima, uranium prices fell from $73 a pound to a low of $18 a pound. While pricing has rebounded slightly, the current $20 level isn't sustainable as it remains below the cost of production.

Uranium One isn't even producing at several mines because the prices are too low for it to be profitable and in 2016, they sold a bunch of their mines to another Canadian Company called Anfield.

Your answer sounded just like the one Podesta had.

And the $500,000 to Bill? Those Russians really really really like the Clintons! or would it have any thing to do with Hillary being Sec . of State and the probable next president....or so she thought.
