The Obama Administration’s Uranium One Scandal
Not only the Clintons are implicated in a uranium deal with the Russians that compromised national-security interests.
By Andrew C. McCarthy —
October 21, 2017
Let’s put the Uranium One scandal in perspective: The cool half-million bucks the Putin regime funneled to Bill Clinton was five times the amount
it spent on those Facebook ads — the ones the media-Democrat complex
ludicrously suggests swung the 2016 presidential election to Donald
Trump.
The Facebook-ad buy, which started in June 2015 — before Donald Trump
entered the race — was more left-wing agitprop (ads pushing hysteria on
racism, immigration, guns, etc.) than electioneering. The Clintons’ own
long-time political strategist Mark Penn estimates that just $6,500 went to actual electioneering. (You read that right: 65 hundred
dollars.) By contrast, the staggering $500,000 payday from a
Kremlin-tied Russian bank for a single speech was part of a
multi-million-dollar influence-peddling scheme to enrich the former
president and his wife, then–secretary of state Hillary Clinton. At the
time, Russia was plotting — successfully — to secure U.S. government
approval for its acquisition of Uranium One, and with it, tens of
billions of dollars in U.S. uranium reserves.Here’s the kicker: The Uranium One scandal is not only, or even principally, a Clinton scandal. It is an Obama-administration scandal.
The Clintons were just doing what the Clintons do: cashing in on their “public service.” The Obama administration, with Secretary Clinton at the forefront but hardly alone, was knowingly compromising American national-security interests. The administration green-lighted the transfer of control over one-fifth of American uranium-mining capacity to Russia, a hostile regime — and specifically to Russia’s state-controlled nuclear-energy conglomerate, Rosatom. Worse, at the time the administration approved the transfer, it knew that Rosatom’s American subsidiary was engaged in a lucrative racketeering enterprise that had already committed felony extortion, fraud, and money-laundering offenses.
