If your deranged opinion is that it is of no consequence, than please tell me why her foundation donations have dried up? It's because you get favors for donating you nit.

Um, because they intentionally stopped taking donations during the campaign to avoid conflicts of interest and went though a whole 18 dry months voluntarily? But don't let facts get it the way, right?

Um, point of order: Hillary never sold uranium to Russia. She merely took money to clear someone else selling an American uranium company to Russia. It's worth pointing out that Russia has oodles of uranium; this is just strategery to make American uranium less accessible to the market (or America), or to make sure it doesn't undercut Russian uranium prices.

Ummmm.....point of order: The uranium in that U.S. mine cannot be taken outside our shores, by federal law. So, that mine's production is pretty much irrelevant to the overall uranium market, except the U.S.'s insular market. And because we can and do purchase from other sources, when necessary, the price is pretty much market price when the mine does produce uranium for the U.S. requirements, which is rather small anyway.

It wasn't just Hillary but a plethora of agencies in both the US & Canadian govts.

Guistra & the Kazakh leader pulled a fast one on the Russians, letting Guistra's company buy interest in Kazakh uranium, merging it into his international operation. In order to get it back, the Russians bought the whole operation, leaving Guistra with an enormous profit.

It also wasn't a US company but rather a Canadian one but when have facts ever mattered to werepossum?

I checked around and donations dropped off in 2015 and probably also the year 2016. I see nothing to suggest the donations have dropped since her loss in November. Source?

It's all duh-version & innuendo anyway. The Clinton Foundation is highly rated by Charity Watch & Charity Navigator. They do good work & the Clintons don't make a dime off of it.

The market is total total sum of sources and buyers, regardless of limitations. If we can buy less domestically, then we must buy more internationally, which drives up the price worldwide.

Not sure why the U.S. needs any domestic source of uranium for the time being. We no longer have any enrichment capacity to utilize uranium.

Seems to me you have enough brains to understand how this works: literally every other trump pick has some kind of shady russian connection, phoning home to putin's guy with adverse news, getting russian metals pinned on them by putin, lying under oath about meeting up with them, etc. So to distract from this your peers pick some instance where some action by Clinton may in some indirect way benefited russia and pretend it's all the same thing. Sort of like a kid who smashed up the house and about to be punished desperately wailing about his sibling possibly tipping something over once. I'm sure in that kid's mind (and his friends) it's an effective defense, and in fairness to him it kind of is because liberals will reflexively start reasoning about the sibling instead of the crux of the situation.

Canadian company, U.S. mine. Try to wrap your mind around the difference.

Lol! Shit for brains. I already understood the difference, you apparently didn't which is why you said, "American uranium company" and that's why you were corrected dumbass!

The difference, of course, is that a Russian owned uranium mine in the US wouldn't be allowed to export. A distinction you clearly weren't aware of.

LOL I stand corrected. Taking money to clear Russians buying a Canadian company owning an American uranium mine is obviously noble and good.

you are stating that Hillary Clinton somehow made the decision "to clear" this deal which is completely false.

reality is that Hillary was only one of nine different heads of federal agencies that cleared the deal.

yet here you are years later still spreading the bullshit.

No, it's irrelevant and complete bullshit on your part but like I said, when have you ever cared about the facts.

Hillary Clinton was one of nine different heads of federal agencies that cleared the deal. Hillary Clinton received millions in donations to her family foundation. If you wish to believe that is coincidence, just like virtually everyone getting in to meet with her making similar large donations is a coincidence, it's a free world and there are no laws against being gullible and/or stupid.

So... What is your point exactly? She's corrupt? More corrupt than Trump and crew? As corrupt? Why exactly does it matter? If she is what you say then maybe she'll be charged and go to jail. What should happen to those people you are trying to distract the conversation from? You are trying to bring the focus to a woman who did not win the Presidency. If the law brings her to justice then so be it but she is not leading the country. If ALL Democrats agreed simultaneously that you are correct how does that change anything about what The Filthy Pigs at the Head of the country are being accused of and very likely guilty? Do you fear Trump and crew will miss her when they're in prison? Will their card game be short one person? Hide and seek won't have the same feel without Hilary to join them? Marco Polo will just be Marco with out her there to call Polo? They should all be held accountable if they are guilty. Yes?

At the end of the day she is not representing the country. I would like to think the primary focus should be on the investigation that would remove potential traitors and then but only then sure as slick they should go to town on bringing her to justice if there is indeed anything to hold her accountable for.

You do know, I hope, that the only person who had a legal say in either allowing the sale or preventing it was the president? The committee of 9 different govt. agencies that studied the issue could only make recommendations and the final say was Obama's and only Obama's. You do understand this point, right?

Canadian company, Canadian pipeline, Canadian jobs, Canadian oil, Canadian profit...but we must build that pipeline (if only to pollute our American waters, for no benefit)...FOR AMERICA!

sorry, I know the straw is overwhelming, but I had to do it. :D

Let's say it's not coincidence. So what? They give 10% of their own income to that & other bona fide charities. If Bill helping somebody swing a big legal deal motivates that somebody to donate to charity it's obviously a good thing, not a bad thing.

Which reminds me... how's that NY state investigation of Donald's faux charity slush fund going, anyway?

So to be clear did they bribe the other eight agencies too? Just trying to clear up your theory so we can start making fun of your stupidity in earnest.

so you are saying that the heads of nine different federal agencies were all corrupt, that's quite the conspiracy. reality is that Hillary didn't receive any money and the Clinton foundation spent money saving lives all over the world. our current President has scammed and ripped people off to make Billions for decades and you are spewing complete bullshit about someone who isn't even in a position of power.
