This latest Hillary Clinton/ Clinton Family Foundation scandal comes from the liberal NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html?_r=0). It involves

a deal which enabled Russia to purchase
about 20% of the U.S. uranium supply
for the possible quid pro quo of
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Htq1ltGy8_g/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAKg/KkDvhGCPY60/s120-c/photo.jpg
donations.

A Canadian based company called Uranium One, which owned the uranium assets, was being purchased by Russian state atomic energy agency Rosatom. The deal had to be approved by the State Department and other agencies that made up a cabinet level committee. As the State Department was mulling of the deal, the Chairman of Uranium One donated $2.35 million from his family foundation to the Clintons', others in the company followed suit, and Bill Clinton was invited to speak at the investor's meeting at a related company for $500,000.

The financial disclosures provided by Ms. Clinton prior to her becoming Secretary of State revealed, "the only Uranium One official to give to the Clinton Foundation was Mr. Telfer, the chairman, and the amount was relatively small: no more than $250,000, and that was in 2007, before talk of a Rosatom deal."
But a review of tax records in Canada, where Mr. Telfer has a family charity called the Fernwood Foundation, shows that he donated millions of dollars more, during and after the critical time when the foreign investment committee was reviewing his deal with the Russians. With the Russians offering a special dividend, shareholders like Mr. Telfer stood to profit.

His donations through the Fernwood Foundation included $1 million reported in 2009, the year his company appealed to the American Embassy to help it keep its mines in Kazakhstan; $250,000 in 2010, the year the Russians sought majority control; as well as $600,000 in 2011; and $500,000 in 2012. Mr. Telfer said that his donations had nothing to do with his business dealings, and that he had never discussed Uranium One with Mr. or Mrs. Clinton. He said he had given the money because he wanted to support Mr. Giustra’s charitable endeavors with Mr. Clinton. “Frank and I have been friends and business partners for almost 20 years,” he said.



Mr. Telfer’s undisclosed donations came in addition to between $1.3 million and $5.6 million in contributions, which were reported, from a constellation of people with ties to Uranium One or UrAsia, the company that originally acquired Uranium One’s most valuable asset: the Kazakhstan mines. Without those assets, the Russians would have had no interest in the deal: “It wasn’t the goal to buy the Wyoming mines. The goal was to acquire the Kazakh assets, which are very good,” Mr. Novikov, the Rosatom spokesman, said in an interview.


In 2010 an ally of Uranium One, a Russian investment bank called Renaissance Capital invited Bill Clinton to speak to its investor's conference for $500,000.

It's important to note that the NY Times report does not have a smoking gun beyond the coincidental timing of the major donations and the uranium deal. There is no evidence presented of a direct connection between Clinton Foundation donations, Bubba's half a million dollar speaking payday and the State Department approval of the deal. On the other hand the NY Times as well as the Washington Post and Fox News continue to do their own investigations based on Peter Schweizer's still unreleased book "Clinton Cash," as these revelations aggregate whether there is a smoking gun or not the build up of circumstantial evidence may doom Ms. Clinton's attempt to take the White House.

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well...

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock...The path to a Russian acquisition of American uranium deposits began in 2005 in Kazakhstan, where the Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra orchestrated his first big uranium deal, with Mr. Clinton at his side...


Donations to the Clinton Foundation, and a Russian Uranium Takeover
Uranium investors’ efforts to buy mining assets in Kazakhstan and the United States led to a takeover bid by a Russian state-owned energy company. The investors gave millions to the Clinton Foundation over the same period, while Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s office was involved with approving the Russian bid...



The two men had flown aboard Mr. Giustra’s private jet to Almaty, Kazakhstan, where they dined with the authoritarian president, Nursultan A. Nazarbayev. Mr. Clinton handed the Kazakh president a propaganda coup when he expressed support for Mr. Nazarbayev’s bid to head an international elections monitoring group, undercutting American foreign policy and criticism of Kazakhstan’s poor human rights record by, among others, his wife, then a senator...

Amid this influx of Uranium One-connected money, Mr. Clinton was invited to speak in Moscow in June 2010, the same month Rosatom struck its deal for a majority stake in Uranium One.

The $500,000 fee — among Mr. Clinton’s highest — was paid by Renaissance Capital, a Russian investment bank with ties to the Kremlin that has invited world leaders, including Tony Blair, the former British prime minister, to speak at its annual investor conference.

Kleptocracy, alternatively cleptocracy or kleptarchy, (from Greek (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language): κλέπτης - kleptēs, "thief"[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleptocracy#cite_note-1) and κράτος - kratos, "power, rule",[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleptocracy#cite_note-2) hence "rule by thieves"). While literally it means a society based (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_and_superstructure) on theft, it is more commonly used derogatorily to point out a corrupt government or ruling class (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_class).


Characteristics Kleptocracies are generally associated with corrupt forms of authoritarian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarian) governments, particularly dictatorships (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship), oligarchies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligarchies), military juntas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_juntas), or some other forms of autocratic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocracy) and nepotist (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepotism) government in which no outside oversight is possible, due to the ability of the kleptocrat(s) to personally control both the supply of public funds and the means of determining their disbursal. Kleptocratic rulers typically treat their country's treasury (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasury) as though it were their own personal bank account, spending the funds on luxury goods (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_good) as they see fit. Many kleptocratic rulers also secretly transfer public funds into secret personal numbered bank accounts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numbered_bank_account) in foreign countries in order to provide themselves with continued luxury if/when they are eventually removed from power and forced to leave the country.


Kleptocracy is most common in developing countries whose economies are based on the export of natural resources (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_resource). Such export incomes constitute a form of economic rent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_rent) and are therefore easier to siphon off without causing the income itself to decrease (for example, due to capital flight (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_flight) as investors pull out to escape the high taxes levied by the kleptocrats).

Kleptocracy, alternatively cleptocracy or kleptarchy, from Greek: κλέπτης (thief) and κράτος (rule), is a term applied to a government subject to control fraud that takes advantage of governmental corruption to extend the personal wealth and political power of government officials and the ruling class (collectively, kleptocrats), via the embezzlement of state funds at the expense of the wider population, sometimes without even the pretense of honest service. The term means "rule by thieves". Not an "official" form of government (such as democracy, republic, monarchy, theocracy), the term is a pejorative for governments perceived to have a particularly severe and systemic problem with the selfish misappropriation of public funds by those in power.
Effects The effects of a kleptocratic regime or government on a nation are typically adverse in regards to the faring of the state's economy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy), political affairs and civil rights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_right). Kleptocracy in government often vitiates prospects of foreign investment and drastically weakens the domestic market and cross-border trade. As the kleptocracy normally embezzles money from its citizens by misusing funds derived from tax payments (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_payment), or money laundering schemes, a kleptocratically structured political system tends to degrade nearly everyone's quality of life.
In addition, the money that kleptocrats steal is often taken from funds that were earmarked for public amenities, such as the building of hospitals, schools, roads, parks and the like – which has further adverse effects on the quality of life of the citizens living under a kleptocracy.[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleptocracy#cite_note-3) The quasi-oligarchy that results from a kleptocratic elite also subverts democracy (or any other political format the state is ostensibly under).[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleptocracy#cite_note-4)

Bribery is an act of giving money or gifts that alters the behavior of the recipient whom would otherwise not alter their behavior. Bribery constitutes a crime and is defined by Black's Law Dictionary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black%27s_Law_Dictionary) as the offering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offer_and_acceptance), giving (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift), receiving (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offer_and_acceptance), or soliciting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solicitation) of any item of value to influence the actions of an official or other person in charge of a public or legal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal) duty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty).http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bribery

Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation as Russians Pressed for Control of Uranium Company



The headline in the website Pravda trumpeted President Vladimir V. Putin’s latest coup, its nationalistic fervor recalling an era when its precursor served as the official mouthpiece of the Kremlin: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.”


The article, in January 2013, detailed how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West. The deal made Rosatom one of the world’s largest uranium producers and brought Mr. Putin closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain.


But the untold story behind that story is one that involves not just the Russian president, but also a former American president and a woman who would like to be the next one.


At the heart of the tale are several men, leaders of the Canadian mining industry, who have been major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family. Members of that group built, financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One.

Rand should be saying this scandal will not sink Hillary, because the Democrats don't have a back-up candidate. They can't go with a different nominee, so they will let all their principles slide.

That would sink Hillary faster than anything.

The amount is just the personal "kickback" for signing off on the otherwise unsavory deal.

Well liberals are already stating that this doesn't prove anything. Shipping uranium overseas at the same time the Clintons are raking in cash from involved recipients of said uranium is no reason at all to suspect foul play. Nope.

Delusional liberals are delusional.

I want to believe that this is the piece that will finally bring the Clinton crime family down, but I'll believe it when I see it. I have a feeling come 6 months from now no one will really care. The MSM will get their talking points down and this will all be explained away and then the cries of "SEXIST" will come rolling in.
