The entire conspiracy presumes that Hillary Clinton took cash in exchange for NOT BLOCKING the uranium company's aquisition. Unfortunately for the birthers, Hillary Clinton had no such power to bargain with as already revealed by fact checking on this subject. So Boilerman's last post was dead on balls accurate...maybe his first post this year.
First, why in the world do you keep saying"you birthers"? ,it makes your argument look weak. So does your continuing mention of Benghazi, you're sidestepping any legitimate argument that there may be.
Secondly, are you trying to say the State Dept. couldn't block this deal. The simple statement that the State Dept. approved it, I sure take that to mean they could've NOT GIVEN APPROVAL and that would kill the deal. I'm fully aware that there were many who had to sign off on it, but it only took one to put a kibosh on the deal. Hillary was head of State then, can't say she had no power to stop it, pure bunk.
Third, do you approve that the Russians control 20% of the US's uranium supply?
I don't say anything. Factcheckers say things and I post their verdict. Factcheckers say Hillary has no power as Secretary of state to veto corporate acquisitions. You say thats bunk. You should prove it with a factchecking source that contradicts mine - or admit you don't know but just hoping thats true. I understand you don't like Hillary but that doesn't mean you are allowed to make up things to rationalize your dislike of her. You know - like you did when you told us only 10% of the CLinton Foundation went to the underlying charity?
As to my feelings about it? I dont like Russian aquisition of US assets of any kind - especially the nuclear kind. But that doesn't make it all Hillary's fault just because you dont like her - does it?
Fact: According to your article the same Russian donors were giving money to the Clinton FOundation as far back as 2005 - long before HIllary was secretary of state
Fact: According to your article the Russians began aquiring US assets in Uranium before either Obama or HIllary took office in 2009. So can you show me your post making a big stink out of this prior to Jan 2009?
Fact: Donations made to the CLinton Foundation do not go to Hillary's superpac or her political campaign...they go to build infrastructure, provide drinking water, medicine, and education all over the globe - including Russia.
Fact: More Russian nuclear fuel was secured and disposed of during the Obama/Clinton administration than in any preceding administration since Reagan.
If the State Dept. had no say why then why did they have to give its approval? According to your "Factcheckers",
"But Schweizer is wrong when he says that Clinton had “veto power” and “could have stopped the deal.” At best, she could have forced the president to make a decision.
The committee, which is known by its acronym CFIUS, can approve a sale, but it cannot stop a sale. Only the president can do that, and only if the committee recommends or “any member of CFIUS recommends suspension or prohibition of the transaction,” according to guidelines issued by the Treasury Department in December 2008 after the department adopted its final rule a month earlier..."
Sp let's say State was powerless(I'll go with your argument for the moment), it could've at least kicked it up to Obama to squash the deal citing National security reasons, which are extremely valid here, they're so quick to label anything and everything else Nat. security risk.
Again, why did State have to approve anything if it was so powerless? Disapproval would've done absolutely nothing to the deal?
BTW, we're not talking about anything other than this topic,I don't care what happened prior to this deal. Why do you always insist on bringing up old items?
