Boom! GOP Lawmaker: Rosenstein Approved Uranium One Deal – Mueller Hired to Help Him Cover It Up (VIDEO)

Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) dropped a BOMB on FOX Business Network Thursday on the Russian Uranium One scandal.

Gohmert told After the Bell that Rosenstein and Robert Mueller approved the Uranium One deal allowing the Clintons to pocket MEGA-MILLIONS from the Russians.

Now they are trying to cover their tracks.

On April 25th, 2017, Rod Rosenstein was confirmed to be deputy attorney general by a vote of 94-6 in the Senate and on April 26th he was sworn in. Then less than a month later, on May 17th, Rosenstein appointed a special counsel and appointed his old friend from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Robert Mueller with the following directive –

The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James S. Corney in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017, including:

(i) any links and/or coordination bet ween the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump; and

(ii) any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation; and

(iii) any other matters within the scope of 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a).

We now know from information reported last week, that the FBI had an investigation into the Clintons and moneys they received from Russia in return for giving Russia 20% of all US uranium.

Prior to the Obama administration approving the very controversial deal in 2010 giving Russia 20% of America’s Uranium, the FBI had evidence that Russian nuclear industry officials were involved in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering in order to benefit Vladimir Putin.
The FBI approved the deal anyway.

And today Louie Gohmert dropped the bomb that Rosenstein and Mueller were the ones who allowed the Uranium One deal to go forward.

Here is Louie from After the Bell.

Rep. Gohmert: One of the things that was most shocking was that a guy named Rosenstein, if that name sounds familiar, since he appointed Mueller (to lead Special Counsel on Trump) he was the guy that actually helped sign documents that got the whole thing, the original cover-up done by sealing documents back early in the Obama administration so that Hillary could go through and make mega-millions…

…The blockbuster line now here is that he (Mueller) and Rosenstein had to be involved in him being the Special Counsel now because now we know he needed to cover up the fact that him and Rosenstein covered up the first investigation!

This is HUGE!

Oh my gosh...just wait until the FBI undercover agent (if he survives) starts singing like a canary...hopefully he has back up copies...and still waiting on the subpoenaed documents from the Fusion One investigation that they have been slow walking ..that's really going to be enlightening.

The corrupt Democrats thought all of this would be covered up nicely with the immaculation of Queen Clinton...wow, the depths of criminality is staggering based on just what we know so far!!

Louie Gohmert is one of the stupidest people in Congress. People have been ridiculing this ignoramus for many years.

There's more than Gohmert saying this and seeing this...it's like peeling back an onion a layer at a time...and it stinks like an onion, too...stay tuned, more to come.

Nothing in particular will come of this, certainly no scandal ensnaring the people listed in the meme at the top. This is right wing media booshwa.

Mueller is closing in on Trump and the howling over Uranium is a distraction from that unpleasant fact.

You read silly sources and believe too much of them.

Trump is going down though, if that is consolation to you.

BF, here is the CNN article that is based on the story that appeared in The Hill. Please point out, specifically , where you see a smoking gun, or even the basis for an allegation against Clinton, Obama, Mueller, etc.

You are going to be so disappointed.

======================

Washington (CNN) The Justice Department has given a former FBI informant the green light to testify before Congress about what he learned in an investigation of Russian nuclear industry efforts to gain influence in the uranium industry in the United States during the Obama administration.

The news that the former informant will be allowed to testify comes as House Republicans announced a probe into the circumstances surrounding the sale of a Canadian uranium mining company, Uranium One, to Russia's Atomic Energy Agency, Rosatom, that was approved by the Obama administration in 2010.
The deal had to be approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a committee that is composed of representatives from several US government agencies, including the State Department, which at the time was led by Hillary Clinton.
The Justice Department on Wednesday authorized the former informant to disclose to the chairmen and ranking members of the Senate judiciary, House oversight and House intelligence committees, as well as one member of each of their staffs, "any information or documents he has concerning alleged corruption or bribery involving transactions in the uranium market, including but not limited to anything related to Vadim Mikerin, Rosatom, Tenex, Uranium One, or the Clinton Foundation," Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores confirmed in a statement.
According to The Hill , the former informant, who had signed a nondisclosure agreement with the FBI, had worked undercover gathering intelligence on the Russian industry's attempt to build its nuclear energy business in the United States.
The informant's lawyer, Victoria Toensing, told The Hill on Wednesday that the FBI told her it is releasing her client from his nondisclosure agreement so he can discuss his work "uncovering the Russian nuclear bribery case and the efforts he witnessed by Moscow to gain influence with (former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton) in hopes of winning favorable uranium decisions from the Obama administration."
Toensing said she "will be working with all parties to ensure his identity remains confidential to ensure his safety" now that he is willing and able to testify, The Hill reported.
The Hill reported this week that while the Uranium One deal was being reviewed and approved, the FBI was in the beginning stages of a racketeering and extortion investigation into a US subsidiary of Rosatom.
The Hill's reporting raises questions about whether decision-makers on the uranium deal, including members of Congress, were informed of the ongoing racketeering investigation. Sources cited by the newspaper indicated that Russian nuclear officials routed millions of dollars to the United States that were designed to benefit the Clinton Foundation at the same time the deal was approved. The Hill does not indicate there's any evidence to show that Clinton was influenced by this.
Although the claims are currently not proven, some Republicans, including President Donald Trump, have alleged that Russian interests sought to donate to the Clinton Foundation to persuade Clinton to support the deal.
Trump seized on the new reporting, telling reporters on Wednesday that he feels the newly announced investigations into the sale are "Watergate, modern age."
"I think the uranium sale to Russia, in the way it was done, so underhanded with tremendous amounts of money being passed, I actually think that is Watergate, modern age," he said.
The FBI criminal probe resulted in the sentencing of Vadim Mikerin, an executive at Tenex (a subsidiary of Rosatom), to a 48-month prison sentence for conspiracy to commit money laundering. Mikerin pleaded guilty for his role in a bribery scheme where Russian interests had compromised an American uranium trucking firm with bribes and kickbacks.
Court documents connected with the case reviewed do not reference donations to the Clinton Foundation or attempts by US or Russian interests to influence the Uranium One deal decision.
Since these allegations have resurfaced in the wake of recent reporting, Clinton and members of her staff have disputed claims that anything improper occurred surrounding the approval of the Uranium One deal.
Clinton said in an interview with C-SPAN this week that any allegations that she was bribed to approve the deal were "baloney" and that they had been "debunked repeatedly."
Jake Sullivan, former director of Clinton's State Department Policy Planning Office, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in an interview last week that "there was really nothing to" the allegations of Clinton influencing the decision based on donations made to the Clinton Foundation. Sullivan said that Clinton did not participate in the CFIUS decision, since the approval went through a "nine-agency committee ... there was nothing here other than a normal process."
On Tuesday, House intelligence committee Chairman Devin Nunes announced his panel would be looking into the Obama-era uranium deal in a joint investigation with the House oversight committee.

At least your nonsense has a lighter touch than some of these guys here who are so heavy handed.

Trump is hoping and praying this will be bigger than his own problems, but no such luck. 

Exclusive: First charges filed in Robert Mueller investigation

According to CNN, a federal grand jury on Friday reportedly approved the first charges in the investigation, with anyone charged to be taken into custody as soon as Monday.

Rumor is it is Paul Manafort, Trump's one time presidential campaign chairman.

By the way , Victoria Toensing, is a notorious right wing political instigator and anti-Clinton fanatic. The fact she represents the FBI guy means something underhanded may be at play.

You are better than allowing yourself to be a mouth piece for right wing propaganda. Oh wait, you read Infowars often dont you? That probably explains it.

You're hoping in your heart of hearts that was so, but you know in your heart that the big crane with the hook is swinging around to snare several Democrats. Denial of reality doesn't change it

Roy Moore will give both Gohmert and Virginia Foxx some real competition for the "stupidest person in Congress" award.
