The same crooks that gave Uranium One to Russia now apparently think they should review the Twitter sale to Elon Musk.
The corrupt group that approved the sale of Uranium One and 20% of the US uranium reserves to Russia, now is getting involved in the sale of Twitter to Elon Musk.
In October TGP reported that Biden is threatening to investigate Elon Musk for standing up for free speech and against censorship. Biden threatened to use the same entity that approved the sale of Uranium One to Russia.
Yesterday it was reported that Biden is planning on using the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS) to investigate Musk’s purchase of Twitter.
This is the same group that approved of Russia’s purchase of 20% of the US uranium market under the Obama Administration which resulted in the Clinton Foundation receiving over $140 million in donations.
The Obama Administration approved the sale of Uranium One to Russia which landed the Clinton Foundation over $140 million in donations.
Andrew McCarthy reported:
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.
…Uranium is foundational to nuclear power and thus to American national security. As the New York Times explained in a report on the disturbing interplay between the Clinton Foundation and the transfer of American uranium assets to Russia, the United States gets a fifth of its electrical power from nuclear energy, but only produces a fifth of the uranium it needs. Consequently, a foreign entity would not be able to acquire rights to American uranium without the approval of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.
CFIUS is composed of the leaders of 14 U.S. government agencies involved in national security and commerce…
McCarthy notes that in 2010 Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a single speech in Russia and the Clinton Foundation at about the same time made $145 million in donations from sources connected to the sale of Uranium One to Russia.
In 2014 Putin invaded Crimea and the Obama Administration had to respond. Obama and Hillary’s ‘reset’ with Russia was over. Also, at that point, a racketeering scheme the FBI and DOJ had been looking into for years involving Russians related to Uranium One had to be addressed.
The national security case involved a man named Mikerin who was arrested for racketeering and also to an extortion racket against US energy companies by Russia. An informant had kept the FBI informed of the case since at least 2010.
McCarthy writes:
…a lid needed to be kept on the case. It would have made for an epic Obama administration scandal, and a body blow to Hillary Clinton’s presidential hopes, if in the midst of Russia’s 2014 aggression, public attention had been drawn to the failure, four years earlier, to prosecute a national-security case in order to protect Russia’s takeover of U.S. nuclear assets.

America has been taken over by a criminal and corrupt gang of nasty individuals who don’t care about justice, only power.
Tucker summed this up nicely:
Now it looks like the Biden gang is moving ahead. Corrupt and self-proclaimed liar Jake Sullivan indicated the Biden gang is looking into the sale of Twitter to Elon Musk, claiming it’s a national security issue.
