Hillary Clinton claims that investigating her role in Uranium One would be ‘abuse of power’
Once again signaling that she believes she is above the law, Hillary Clinton has argued that a special council investigating her role in the Uranium One deal would be an “abuse of power” and signal that the US is now a “dictatorship.”
Speaking to Mother Jones on Wednesday, Clinton said that investigating her would “have devastating consequences for the justice system in America.”
“If they send a signal that we’re going to be like some dictatorship, like some authoritarian regime, where political opponents are going to be unfairly, fraudulently investigated, that rips at the fabric of the contract we have, that we can trust our justice system,” Clinton said. “It will be incredibly demoralizing to people who have served at the Justice Department, under both Republicans and Democrats, because they know better. But it will also send a terrible signal to our country and the world that somehow we are giving up on the kind of values that we used to live by and we used to promote worldwide.”
Earlier this week, the New York Times reported that top prosecutors have been asked by Attorney General Jeff Sessions to look into whether or not a special counsel should be appointed to look into Clinton’s role in the controversial Uranium One deal and donations to her family’s foundation.
The deal involved the Russian state-owned atomic energy giant Rosato gradually taking control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013. While these transactions were taking place, people with deep ties to the company were donating to the Clinton Foundation, including $2.35 million transferred into the Clinton Foundation from Uranium One’s chairman’s own family foundation. These donations were not publicly disclosed, despite a deal she had made with the Obama administration regarding transparency.
Additionally, the NYT reports, “shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.”
On Thursday, the confidential informant for the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s role in Uranium One went public. The informant identified himself to Reuters as William Campbell and stated that he wants to testify about what he saw while undercover.
“I have worked with the Justice Department undercover for several years, and documentation relating to Uranium One and political influence does exist and I have it,” Campbell said.
Campbell is a former lobbyist for a Russian firm. https://bigleaguepolitics.com/hillary-clinton-claims-investigating-role-uranium-one-abuse-power/

Fox News’s Shepard Smith debunks his network’s favorite Hillary Clinton ‘scandal,’ infuriates viewers
.
.
Not a big fan of Hillary, but she is right. This has been debunked over and over again for 10 years now. Literally the only reason that it's in the news again is because trump, on finding out that Manafort was about to be arrested, needed a diversion so he grabbed his stick and drug another dead horse out of the stables. But hey, repubs are famous for investigating the same thing over and over again for political gain, so asking for a special counsel here is not much of a surprise.
Shepard Smith is a lying leftist who would be better suited on either of the two marxist stations
Well of course he is, that's why he is the main news anchor on the propaganda network for the GOP fascists. But you go right on ahead and do what you always do, call anyone that doesn't fit into your agenda, a "leftist", because that's the only way you can justify your agenda. Never let the facts get in the way of your opinion larry.
there is a movement of conservatives across America who have been demanding that Fox fire Smith for over a year now.
Secondly, You continue to falsely paint conservatism as fascist when it is the Democratic party that embraces fascism.
I call people leftist when the facts demonstrate that to be the facts. You can find the calls to fire Smith for being a leftist going back to 2009
the Tea Party called for his firing over a year ago
Just about every Conservative on the planet has a message for Fox News this Monday morning: “FIRE SHEPARD SMITH!”
And for his leftist homosexual behavior
Larry says everyone is a commie or a marxist, or a leftist, etc...as soon as they do something he doesn't approve of what they say or do.
Hillary is a far right wing republican.
The sons now run the network and they like having a leftist homosexual as the news anchor
The sons and their wives are leftists
FOX IS DEAD: HARDCORE LIBERAL JAMES MURDOCH TO TURN FOX NEWS INTO A ‘GLOBAL BRAND’ PROMOTING ‘PROGRESSIVE VALUES’
if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck.....
Smith stated the facts very clearly. So what's the problem?
There are two kinds of marxists in this country, the proud and the ignorant
Which one are you?
here's a simple set of clues
do you believe in collectivism over individualism?
do you believe in redistribution of wealth for social welfare?
Do you believe in a progressive income tax?
do you believe in the estate tax?
do you support free public education over private education or home schooling?
do you support unionism?
do you support the end of only traditiional marriage?
All of these are found in Section II, Proletarians and Communists of the Communist Manifesto as steps to transition from capitalism to communism
BTW, I didn't like O'Reilly. He was too far to the left on some issues and too supportive of statism on others
Probably changed sides after having to pay out millions for sexual harassment by the ''righties'', Ailes, Battlefield Bill O'Reilly et al...
Good business decision by Murdoch JR.
According to you libs, there is no such thing. No gay person would EVER think conservative.
Which explains her ties to the big money. There is no left anymore, Tex, that's what's wrong with this country. Dems like the Clintons and Obama govern just like your party used to, and your party has gone totally insane. You just don't get it, my friend, you really don't.
Really? If she's a far right Republican then Bernie is a Moderate Republican. The facts say you are lying
Someone who says that collectivism, not individualism is the right type of society?
Someone who ran on repealing the Hyde Amendment and implementing taxpayer funding of abortions?
Someone who ran on embracing sexual perversion and homosexual marriage as good and normal?
Someone who campaigned on raising taxes and increasing the welfare state?
Someone who campaigned on extreme gun control measures to strip Americans of the right to keep and bear arms including arms sufficient for military foot soldiers (which was affirmed 3 times by the Supreme Court)
Someone who campaigned on amnesty for illegals and open borders?
Someone who campaigned on massive expansion of Federal meddling into healthcare?
On education, Democrats committed to tuition-free education at in-state public colleges and universities for all those making under $125,000 a year .
Dem Platform called for $15 minimum wage and 12 weeks paid family and medical leave.
Consider that the platform endorses expanding and defending the right of workers to organize unions and bargain collectively. It not only endorses card check, but it calls for a “model employer” executive order that would give preference in government procurement to employers who provide their workers with a living wage, benefits and the opportunity to form a union.

No he didn't. He gave his opinion of the facts.
????
When the choice is between right wing and right off the far right cliff, of course they did. I would have much preferred Bernie. The problem with 'Obamacare' is that it's too conservative as well. Insurance companies should not be involved at all, health care should be 100% socialized.
Exactly, his opinion.
When a newscaster starts with his opinion, I change stations. I watched Shepard for so long, but it seems when he announced his "in the closet self" after awhile he changed. Maybe not, but it is "my opinion",
I couldn't care less what an 'actual Democrat' [whatever that is!] would say. I think for myself.
Of course there are differences. The Democrats are now center right, and the Republicans have devolved into nothing more than a gang of corporate thugs. They are no longer a viable option.
Ok, what are the facts as you see them? Do tell. You do know all of this was debunked YEARS ago, right?
And not only this, but...BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI, BENGHAZI!!!
We need to take another look at that pizza joint too. How did Hillary slither out of that child sex ring she was running?
You mean out of the basement of a pizza place that didn't have a basement?
Yes, yes, they must have missed the secret entrance to the false basement! Hillary and Bill are down there torturing children as we speak!!
I can believe that!
Hard to ignore when she just won't go away!
Bullshit, I was getting into it hot and heavy with Hillary while Bill was meeting Loretta Lynch on the tarmac!
Donald Trump was watching. He wanted Hillary to pee on his head!
Clinton always worth a laugh.
Who else but a Clinton would say, "If you investigate my wrongdoing, it's a dictatorship"
