Hillary For President

Gotcha.

This could actually be big trouble. 'Brietbart' reporting one is inclined to blow off, but not the NY Times.

The sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

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.

This kind of behavior would land normal Executive Branch employees in jail.

It is always about the money.

The Clintons’ relationships with major funders present an unusual political challenge for Hillary Rodham Clinton. Now that she has formally entered the presidential race, the family may face political pressure and some legal requirements to provide further details of their personal finances and those of the foundation, giving voters a clearer view of the global network of patrons that have supported the Clintons and their work over the past 15 years.

As I have said, Hillary Clinton should walk into the sunset taking Feinstein and Pelosi with her and this is not misogyny. Too may warts and I am tired of their political waddling.

Consider the source...

The New York Times’s examination of the Uranium One deal is based on dozens of interviews, as well as a review of public records and securities filings in Canada, Russia and the United States. Some of the connections between Uranium One and the Clinton Foundation were unearthed by Peter Schweizer, a former fellow at the right-leaning Hoover Institution and author of the forthcoming book “Clinton Cash.” Mr. Schweizer provided a preview of material in the book to The Times, which scrutinized his information and built upon it with its own reporting.

Waddling?

I've been reading these stories in the NYTimes and Wapo, keeping in mind that both organizations have received an advance copy of Peter Schweizer's book, 'Clinton Cash' in an unusual sweetheart deal.

So far, neither has provided what could be considered the 'smoking gun' that Rand Paul and the rightwing blogosphere has been in a giddy tizzy over, the last few weeks.

Schweizer is a Breitbart.com contributing editor, a former GW Bush speechwriter and a Hoover institution fellow. Excuse me if I cast a jaundiced eye at this rightwing flack in advance of his so called 'blockbuster expose' being released.

Hmmm, I wonder what Maureen Dowd over at the NY Times is sayin'...

A source, not THE source. As the matter you quoted states.

The bottom line is, if the Clinton campaign can't destroy this story.... just grind it into the dust, she needs to quit the race. The next president will probably appoint three justices to the Supreme Court, maybe even 4 if he or she gets a second term* and the thought of any of the Klown Kar Krazies getting to do that is profoundly frightening.

*On Innauguration Day 2017:
Ginzberg will be nearly 84 (reliable liberal vote)
Scalia will be just shy of 81 (reliable conservative vote)
Kennedy will be right behind him (swing vote)
Breyer will be pushing 79 (reliable liberal vote)

Amen. She needs to quit now before she drags the party down the drain.
