INGRAHAM to a Russian ░░░░░░░░ company back in 2010 ░░░░░░░░ Clinton s State Department ░░░░░░░░ off on the deal ░░░░░░░░ the fact that it ░░░░░░░░ Russia control of 20 ░░░░░░░░ of the U S ░░░░░░░░ capacity Critics alleged that ░░░░░░░░ OK d the deal ░░░░░░░░ of some hefty donations ░░░░░░░░ the Clinton Foundation The ░░░░░░░░ Review s Andy McCarthy ░░░░░░░░ today Uranium One has ░░░░░░░░ primarily been a national ░░░░░░░░ controversy It s a ░░░░░░░░ controversy Joining us now ░░░░░░░░ Tallahassee a man who ░░░░░░░░ more about this Peter ░░░░░░░░ is the president of ░░░░░░░░ Government Accountability Institute and ░░░░░░░░ of the huge bestseller ░░░░░░░░ Cash So Peter I ░░░░░░░░ noticed this happening over ░░░░░░░░ last 48 hours especially ░░░░░░░░ of people some Republicans ░░░░░░░░ Democrats and always the ░░░░░░░░ of course there s ░░░░░░░░ there there This is ░░░░░░░░ a fantasy cooked up ░░░░░░░░ the minds of some ░░░░░░░░ who wrote a book ░░░░░░░░ Clinton Cash and grabbed ░░░░░░░░ to by the conservative ░░░░░░░░ Pay no attention to ░░░░░░░░ scandal behind the curtain ░░░░░░░░ Yes That s the ░░░░░░░░ line Laura The problem ░░░░░░░░ that narrative is there ░░░░░░░░ plenty of evidence The ░░░░░░░░ One saga most people ░░░░░░░░ aware of this 2010 ░░░░░░░░ of Uranium One to ░░░░░░░░ Russian government that was ░░░░░░░░ by the Obama administration ░░░░░░░░ the story really begins ░░░░░░░░ 2005 when Bill Clinton ░░░░░░░░ Hillary Clinton helped this ░░░░░░░░ investor Frank Giustra who ░░░░░░░░ founder of Uranium One ░░░░░░░░ these uranium assets in ░░░░░░░░ which is a massive ░░░░░░░░ of uranium And what ░░░░░░░░ have in clear evidence ░░░░░░░░ the video testimony of ░░░░░░░░ Russian sorry the Kazak ░░░░░░░░ of Kazatomprom which is ░░░░░░░░ Kazak atomic agency what ░░░░░░░░ he say in this ░░░░░░░░ deposition Moukhtar Dzhakishev his ░░░░░░░░ he says that they ░░░░░░░░ that concession to Frank ░░░░░░░░ because Hillary Clinton then ░░░░░░░░ senator blackmailed and threatened ░░░░░░░░ officials saying she would ░░░░░░░░ cooperate with them getting ░░░░░░░░ S money she would ░░░░░░░░ meet with any officials ░░░░░░░░ the concession was granted ░░░░░░░░ that concession was granted ░░░░░░░░ officials Frank Giustra sent ░░░░░░░░ million to the Clinton ░░░░░░░░ We have the oral ░░░░░░░░ by this official it ░░░░░░░░ never been disputed and ░░░░░░░░ describes in detail how ░░░░░░░░ deal went down and ░░░░░░░░ about a Clinton Foundation ░░░░░░░░ named Tim Philips who ░░░░░░░░ him When Tim Philips ░░░░░░░░ asked about this video ░░░░░░░░ did not respond He ░░░░░░░░ his online resume removing ░░░░░░░░ reference to his employment ░░░░░░░░ the Clinton Foundation That ░░░░░░░░ just one piece of ░░░░░░░░ This is not a ░░░░░░░░ cooked up This is ░░░░░░░░ foreign government officials have ░░░░░░░░ about INGRAHAM Why is ░░░░░░░░ McCarthy saying this is ░░░░░░░░ corruption It has no ░░░░░░░░ implications You hear uranium ░░░░░░░░ think nuclear power and ░░░░░░░░ s important and nuclear ░░░░░░░░ things But he says ░░░░░░░░ s not a national ░░░░░░░░ question SCHWEIZER Well I ░░░░░░░░ respectfully disagree with Andy ░░░░░░░░ have enormous respect for ░░░░░░░░ What s happening is ░░░░░░░░ lot of people think ░░░░░░░░ One was totally about ░░░░░░░░ uranium in the United ░░░░░░░░ The United States is ░░░░░░░░ a big uranium producer ░░░░░░░░ problem is that s ░░░░░░░░ true Uranium One was ░░░░░░░░ company when the Russians ░░░░░░░░ it and still is ░░░░░░░░ company that has massive ░░░░░░░░ around the world in ░░░░░░░░ in Australia They have ░░░░░░░░ in Africa and the ░░░░░░░░ States If you were ░░░░░░░░ look at the uranium ░░░░░░░░ have in the United ░░░░░░░░ the 20 percent you ░░░░░░░░ say it doesn t ░░░░░░░░ to a lot The ░░░░░░░░ is that s a ░░░░░░░░ sliver of the entire ░░░░░░░░ that Uranium One represented ░░░░░░░░ the way this is ░░░░░░░░ important Uranium One when ░░░░░░░░ was bought by the ░░░░░░░░ in 2010 the money ░░░░░░░░ that deal was publicly ░░░░░░░░ by Vladimir Putin himself ░░░░░░░░ that deal was authorized ░░░░░░░░ Vladimir Putin himself So ░░░░░░░░ Vladimir Putin saw a ░░░░░░░░ security interest from Russia ░░░░░░░░ standpoint in acquiring Uranium ░░░░░░░░ INGRAHAM So we re ░░░░░░░░ looking for the Putin ░░░░░░░░ to elected officials You ░░░░░░░░ look at a picture ░░░░░░░░ Putin Did you ever ░░░░░░░░ a white Russian in ░░░░░░░░ restaurant or go to ░░░░░░░░ Russian Tea Room Laughter ░░░░░░░░ I saw you at ░░░░░░░░ Russian Tea Room once ░░░░░░░░ New York That s ░░░░░░░░ huge scandal Are you ░░░░░░░░ to this idea I ░░░░░░░░ t know if you ░░░░░░░░ thought it through about ░░░░░░░░ special prosecutor I think ░░░░░░░░ is actually a good ░░░░░░░░ to be made that ░░░░░░░░ really don t need ░░░░░░░░ special prosecutor that I ░░░░░░░░ if we believe in ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department if they ░░░░░░░░ actually pursue possible crimes ░░░░░░░░ of witnesses bribery all ░░░░░░░░ things we are hearing ░░░░░░░░ when it comes to ░░░░░░░░ Clintons and this stuff ░░░░░░░░ can get a great ░░░░░░░░ prosecutor to do this ░░░░░░░░ a great staff But ░░░░░░░░ have a lot of ░░░░░░░░ Jim Jordan they want ░░░░░░░░ special prosecutor another special ░░░░░░░░ to investigate this SCHWEIZER ░░░░░░░░ s a great question ░░░░░░░░ s the problem We ░░░░░░░░ for a fact the ░░░░░░░░ has in its possession ░░░░░░░░ tape an audiotape that ░░░░░░░░ basically recorded by this ░░░░░░░░ informant that s going ░░░░░░░░ be coming forward I ░░░░░░░░ not heard the tape ░░░░░░░░ I ve heard about ░░░░░░░░ tape from people at ░░░░░░░░ FBI and that audiotape ░░░░░░░░ is Russian officials with ░░░░░░░░ uranium company talking about ░░░░░░░░ donations to the Clinton ░░░░░░░░ to gain favorable action ░░░░░░░░ tape was given to ░░░░░░░░ of Justice prosecutors the ░░░░░░░░ field office requesting the ░░░░░░░░ to wiretap and to ░░░░░░░░ the Clinton Foundation The ░░░░░░░░ Justice Department came back ░░░░░░░░ said no not enough ░░░░░░░░ My point with an ░░░░░░░░ counsel Laura is look ░░░░░░░░ is so political I ░░░░░░░░ the way to deal ░░░░░░░░ this is precisely in ░░░░░░░░ manner It s important ░░░░░░░░ s complex It goes ░░░░░░░░ the reason people think ░░░░░░░░ is so much corruption ░░░░░░░░ Washington D C and ░░░░░░░░ fact that there is ░░░░░░░░ double standard some people ░░░░░░░░ held to account and ░░░░░░░░ are not INGRAHAM The ░░░░░░░░ should apply to both ░░░░░░░░ individuals in both parties ░░░░░░░░ be held to account ░░░░░░░░ it s always great ░░░░░░░░ you thank you so ░░░░░░░░
