In this thread, Cons as usual are lying about this indictment as evidence of Uranium One corruption https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/uranium-one-finally-getting-underway-1st-indictment.317035/ Fact 1 : There's nothing about Uranium One in there . . . If they're implying that it's connected someone, they don't even spell it out other than throwing buzzwords. They put a totally misleading title in the post that will inevitably lead to people just assuming that the indictment directly targets the Uranium One stuff. Fact 2 : The indictment was against a transport company executive who bribed Russian officials to get a transportation contract and billed them fraudulently. Absolutely nothing to do with any Uranium dealings himself. Relevant quote "An indictment against a former co-president of a Maryland-based transportation company that provides services for the transportation of nuclear materials to customers in the United States and abroad, was unsealed today for his alleged role in a scheme that involved the bribery of an official at a subsidiary of Russia’s State Atomic Energy Corporation." Conclusion: When a conservative claims anything, assume it's a lie by default because lying is all that they do all the time. This is what you are dealing with Cons, everyday tons and tons of fake news and fake outrage over shit made up by their media with no respect for basic truth or facts.
The party is off on another shameless Benghazi smear and an expected percentage of supporter's are awful fools.. It turns out that most ‘fake news’ websites offer tons of pro-Trump content. In addition, the majority of readers of said websites are conservatives. " ‘Trump supporters visited the most fake news websites, which were overwhelmingly pro-Trump. ‘However, fake news consumption was heavily concentrated among a small group — almost six in ten visits to fake news websites came from the ten percent of people with the most conservative online information diets. We also find that Facebook was a key vector of exposure to fake news and that fact-checks of fake news almost never reached its consumers.’ " Bold added, no surprise there.

The thing is that Cons are not incapable of discerning facts or details, they turn into Sherlock Holmes everytime Trump is accused of anything, latching on to the smallest detail to call it fake news but these powers of deductive reasoning doesn't apply to anyone not in their group.
Grand jury indicts Maryland executive in Uranium One deal: report © Getty Images A grand jury reportedly brought charges in the Uranium One investigation against a man who investigators say tried to bribe a Russian official at the country's state-run nuclear energy corporation. Mark Lambert, former head of a Maryland-based transportation company, was indicted last Thursday on 11 counts of money laundering and wire fraud, according to the New York Post. Russian official by using code words such as “lucky figures,” “lucky numbers” and “cake.” The official Lambert was accused of bribing works at a subsidiary of e of the uranium mined after the deal made it as far away as Europe, The Hill reported in November. Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said at the time that it was "disturbing" to see that some of the yellowcake uranium had made its way overseas despite promises from the U.S. government to the contrary. The more that surfaces about this deal, the more questions it raises," Grassley said in a statement. "It now appears that despite pledges to the contrary, U.S. uranium made its way overseas as a part of the Uranium One deal," Grassley said in the statement. "What’s more disturbing, those transactions were apparently made possible by various Obama Administration agencies while the Democrat-controlled Congress turned a blind eye." http://thehill.com/policy/internati...maryland-executive-in-uranium-one-deal-report
I looked up the profile of the guy who wrote this fake news, lo and behold John Bowden VERIFIED Washington, D.C. Reporter — The Hill Politics, U.S. As seen in: The Hill, Chemistry World, Washington Examiner, Jones Report,RealClearDefense, RealClearEducation He wrote for Alex Jones Infowars and other right wing echo chambers If Hill doesn't retract this fake news because some right wing loon loves to stretch the truth, then there is no denying that they are fake news perpetrators.
I have sent a direct message to him via Twitter asking him to clarify, this kind of fake news shouldn't be allowed to stand.
Well done. It is past time to put on the knuckledusters and fuck him and similar up permanently, not as Libs or Cons but as fathers and sons to protect our loved ones. Too many saw some scenario like yesterday yesterday coming, Trump would chest beat and raise the temperature. Then a mistake of grand proportions echoing the "mistakes" that nearly caused WWIII several times in the Cold War. We people of Earth got a solid warning yesterday of the imminent threat of leaving an utter wretch with that much power. Joke time is over, Trump and the gang have to go and his silence yesterday shows the White House knows well that was way over the line. He will be back, Norman Vincent fucking Peale's narcissist Frankenstein's monster. However no more Uranium One/Benghazi II garbage for a start. "From Canada to Botswana, these six nations consistently rank highest for their progressive social policies, trust in government and effective justice system." http://www.bbc.com/travel/story/20180107-what-its-like-to-live-in-a-well-governed-country
Cons lying as usual, the Tenam investigation has got NOTHING to do with U1 sale. Tenam were in fact victims of American fraud, it was not the other way around. The entire conservative lie is in making a connection that doesn't exist. But the most important point U1 mines contribute to 2.3 percent of all U.S. production. So the Russians paid hundreds and millions of dollars in bribes for 2% of ALL US production when US production is 1.6% of TOTAL world production. So the actual number is 0.0368% - who thinks Russians are that dumb? No way Tenam spends resources to control something that they have too much off and is easily available in the open market. Conservatives surely are dumb if they believe this horseshit.
Putin and his people paid the clintons millons of dollars as Putin was attempting to take over as much of the Iranium market as he could. This was prior to fukishima. That was the criminal behavior we are concerned about. For all you know the deal could have been that Obama would get Iran billions, Iran would give some of it to Putin and Putin would get yellowcake over to Iran. Trying to act like the deal did not make business sense is a ridiculous red herring. We have no reason to believe we know what was really going on. Unless you were in on it.
