    1. Hillary didn't have any uranium

    2. Hillary didn't have any powers to make deals

    3. Why isn't Trump DOJ investigating it if it was 'bad'

    Oh wait, it's just a deflection. Carry on then.
     
  5. You can bet that was one of Trump's licensing deals.
     
  6. That's shocking.
    All the competing companies should put a court case on how this public contract was given: neptism or croynism at best.

    I like how they bypassed the open bidding and decided paying each employee 300/hr+350/night+80/day in food was fair.

    Or how they thought it was a good idea to give a 2 employee company a contract to service millions.

    Retarded.
    Are you insinuating that this was anything other than lowest bid wins?
    Prove it otherwise.
