Report: FBI Uncovers Confirmation of Hillary Clinton’s Corrupt Uranium Deal with Russia
by Breitbart News
17 Oct 2017

New evidence has emerged to confirm Peter Schweizer’s account in his bestselling book Clinton Cash about the corrupt tactics behind former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s approval of Russia’s purchase of 20 percent of U.S. uranium.

John Solomon and Alison Spann report in The Hill:

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.

The racketeering scheme was conducted “with the consent of higher level officials” in Russia who “shared the proceeds” from the kickbacks, one agent declared in an affidavit years later.

Rather than bring immediate charges in 2010, however, the Department of Justice (DOJ) continued investigating the matter for nearly four more years, essentially leaving the American public and Congress in the dark about Russian nuclear corruption on U.S. soil during a period when the Obama administration made two major decisions benefitting Putin’s commercial nuclear ambitions.

As Breitbart News has previously reported, Hillary Clinton’s State Department was one of eight agencies to review and sign off on the sale of U.S. uranium to Russia. However, the then-Secretary of State Clinton was the only agency head whose family foundation received $145 million in donations from multiple people connected to the uranium deal, as reported by the New York Times.

Attorney: FBI Informant Was Blocked by Obama Administration from Testifying on Uranium One Deal

An American businessman who went undercover for the FBI was blocked during the Obama administration from telling Congress what he knew about Russia’s efforts to influence the Clintons’ and Obama administration decisions, according to a report.

Attorney Victoria Toensing, a former Reagan Justice Department official and former chief counsel of the Senate intelligence committee, told The Hill that she is trying to get the Trump administration or the FBI to free her client to talk.

“All of the information about this corruption has not come out,” Toensing said.

She said her client possesses “specific allegations that Russian executives made to him about how they facilitated the Obama administration’s 2010 approval of the Uranium One deal and sent millions of dollars in Russian nuclear funds to the U.S. to an entity assisting Bill Clinton’s foundation.”

At the time, Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and serving on the government panel that approved the deal, the lawyer said. Bill Clinton accepted $500,000 Russian speaking fees in 2010 and collected millions more in donations from parties with a stake in the Uranium One deal. The Clintons and the Obama administration have denied that had any influence on the deal.

But Toensing said her client can also testify that FBI agents made comments to him suggesting political pressure was exerted, and that there was specific evidence that could have scuttled approval of the Uranium One deal if it became public.

“There was corruption going on and it was never brought forward. And in fact, the sale of the uranium went on despite the government knowing about all of this corruption. So, he’s coming forward. He wants the right thing to be done, but he cannot do it unless he is released from the NDA,” she told the outlet.

Senate Judiciary Committee Asks FBI Informant to Testify About Uranium One Deal
by Kristina Wong
19 Oct 2017

Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has asked the attorney of a former FBI informant if her client can testify before the committee about the FBI’s investigation into a bribery scheme by a Russian state-controlled company that was allowed to purchase 20 percent of the United States uranium supply in 2010.

The request, in a letter dated October 18, 2017, asks attorney Victoria Toensing to allow her client to testify about the information he provided to the FBI about members of the Rosatom subsidiary Tenex from 2009 until the FBI’s prosecution of defendants in 2014.

The client is an American businessman who went to the FBI immediately after Russian officials asked him to engage in illegal activity in 2009, according to the Hill, which disclosed the existence of the FBI investigation.

The businessman worked for four years undercover as an FBI confidential witness and signed a non-disclosure agreement that Obama Justice Department officials have threatened him not to break.

According to Toensing, her client has pertinent information that the Russians were attempting to gain access to former President Bill Clinton and his wife, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to influence the Obama administration’s decision on the purchase of Uranium One.

Grassley’s letter reads:

Reporting indicates that “the informant’s work was crucial to the government’s ability to crack a multimillion dollar racketeering scheme by Russian nuclear officials on U.S. soil” and that the scheme involved “bribery, kickbacks, money laundering, and extortion.”

Further, the reporting indicates that your client can testify that “FBI agents made comments to him suggesting political pressure was exerted during the Justice Department probe” and “that there was specific evidence that could have scuttled approval of the Uranium One deal.”

It appears that your client possesses unique information about the Uranium One/Rosatom transaction and how the Justice Department handled the criminal investigation into the Russian criminal conspiracy. Such information is critical to the Committee’s oversight of the Justice Department and its ongoing inquiry into the manner in which CFIUS approved the transaction. Accordingly, the Committee requests to interview your client. Please contact Committee staff by October 25, 2017, to arrange the interview.

Grassley also sent another letter on Tuesday to Attorney General Jeff Sessions requesting that he release Toensing’s client from the non-disclosure agreement. He wrote in the letter:

---

These restrictions appear to improperly prevent the individual from making critical, good faith disclosures to Congress of potential wrongdoing. They also purport to limit the Committee’s access to information it needs to fulfill its constitutional responsibility of oversight.

This Committee has oversight jurisdiction of the Justice Department, and if this NDA does in fact exist, it hinders the Committee’s ability to do its job. Accordingly, please provide a copy of the NDA by November 1, 2017. In addition, should the NDA exist, I request that you release him from it and pledge not to engage in any form of retaliation against him for good faith communications with Congress.

Grassley told Sessions on Wednesday that he wants to know why the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) approved the Rosatom purchase of Uranium One despite the existence of an FBI investigation which could have impacted the approval.

At the time of the Uranium One deal, CFIUS was chaired by then-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and included then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and then-Attorney General Eric Holder.

According to Circa, the FBI by 2010 had “gathered enough evidence to prove that Rosatom-connected officials were engaged in a global bribery schedule that included kickbacks and money laundering. Despite that, the U.S. government approved the sale.”

Uranium One controlled 20 percent of the U.S. uranium supply under U.S. law, and its sale to Russian company Rosatom required approval by CFIUS, which reviews transactions leading to a change of control of a U.S. business to a foreign person or entity that may have an impact on the national security of the U.S.
