Perhaps this is what Obama was going to be able to be flexible about after the elections?

Oh no, I got the message.
For what its worth, its terrible. I just think its massive hypocrisy for anyone, and especially the Republican voter at large, to complain about it as if their representatives over the years have never done anything similar. However, we can complain about it from the perspective of "Its awful that ANY administration allowed this", as long as we accept that both Democrats and Republicans have done the exact same sorts of thing, over the years.
Basically, as long as we are mad that it happened at all, thats fair and fine enough. But using it as some sort of propaganda tool, is not.

The report reads like a preemptive release to get ahead of more revelations.
Interesting, they knew there was a corruption scheme but did nothing to stop regulators from approving the deal.

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.
Federal agents used a confidential U.S. witness working inside the Russian nuclear industry to gather extensive financial records, make secret recordings and intercept emails as early as 2009 that showed Moscow had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, FBI and court documents show.
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
Well it appears that hillary, holder, obama, et al were well aware of the corruption of Russian officials when they sold them uranium.
Maybe the fact that these Russians were apparently bribing hillary with millions of dollars encouraged them to look the other way.
But I guess this is nothing compared to the Russians using Pokemon go to influence the election!
Not shocked....and it's already been proven Uranium left the US....again...not shocked.
Sad that a real story with real Russian influence gets buried.

CIRCA news has been working on this story for weeks.
It looks like THIS is the big story they're going to release today, as well....perhaps with much more detail.

Wonder what story I'll be breaking tomorrow? Hint, it has to do with #Russia, something that happened in the Obama Administration and an informant, curious? Stay tuned...

It apparently has to do with something Hannity is about to break as well. Wonder when we will hear it?

I was assuming this was what Hannity was talking about, he works closely with Sara, so I was just thinking he knew it was coming.
You think he is bringing more to the forefront?

Find a way to keep beating the drum against Trump.
Like i've said before: i don't even like the guy. He's a terrible president. But the complete BS i see being used against him forces me into his defense. Or, rather, a defense of truth.
