Remember Uranium One? That shady deal where Hillary Clinton helped hand over chunks of America's uranium to Russia while her family's foundation raked in millions?
Newly released FBI records show rank-and-file agents smelled a rat big enough for a criminal probe, but the Obama-era brass stonewalled it until it died on the vine.
Newly declassified FBI records reveal that investigators believed there was sufficient evidence to pursue a criminal probe into the Uranium One deal and its ties to the Clinton Foundation, but internal delays and disputes within the Justice Department and FBI allowed the statute of limitations to expire, effectively killing the inquiry.
The documents, released by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and obtained by Just the News, detail how FBI agents in multiple field offices launched investigations in early 2016 into the intersection of the Clinton Foundation and the 2010 sale of Uranium One, a Canadian mining company with significant U.S. uranium assets, to Russia's state-owned Rosatom.
The deal, approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state, drew scrutiny after reports that donors linked to Uranium One contributed millions to the Clinton Foundation.
As The New York Times reported in 2015, "As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013 … a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One’s chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well."
The Times further noted, "Shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. [Bill] Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock. At the time, both Rosatom and the United States government made promises intended to ease concerns about ceding control of the company’s assets to the Russians. Those promises have been repeatedly broken, records show."
Resistance from senior officials, including then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, slowed the probe.
An FBI investigative timeline shows the Little Rock field office opened a full investigation on Jan. 27, 2016, while New York and Washington offices initiated preliminary inquiries around the same time.
Prosecutors disputed claims that the statute of limitations had expired.
"There is no legal barrier in continuing the present investigation," Jonathan Ross, then-first assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia and now U.S. attorney in Arkansas, argued in a 2018 email.
Then-U.S. Attorney Cody Hiland of Arkansas echoed this in an email to then-U.S. Attorney John Huber of Utah, stating, "We do not believe the prosecution is time-barred by a statute of limitations … because payments from the subjects of the investigation to the Foundation were made continuously from 2007 through 2014."
The timeline highlighted potential extensions due to "acts of concealment such as deleting emails in 2015" and cited statutes like the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, major fraud against the United States, bank fraud, and the Wartime Suspension of Statute of Limitations Act.
Despite these arguments, senior DOJ officials raised statute concerns.
In late 2016, then-U.S. Attorney Robert Capers and then-Criminal Chief James Gatta urged closing the case.
Internal emails show agent morale suffered; Hiland wrote in June 2018 that an email asserting the statute expired on Feb. 1, 2018, "cast a permanent pall over the local agents’ attitude."
Unfinished tasks included interviews with Uranium One executives like Frank Giustra and Ian Telfer, foreign nationals, State Department officials, and Department of Energy personnel.
Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions tasked Huber with reviewing Uranium One in 2017, but the effort wound down by 2020.
Special Counsel John Durham later confirmed his probe did not include it.
The release comes amid U.S. concerns over Russian uranium reliance, with Russia supplying 20 percent of enriched uranium in 2024, per the Energy Information Administration.
Congress banned Russian imports post-Ukraine invasion.
And there you have it, patriots—these swamp creatures, especially the Democrat elites like Hillary Clinton, operate like they're untouchable, and guess what? They are.
How many scandals has Crooked Hillary dodged—Benghazi, emails, even whispers of suiciding folks who crossed her? Yet here we stand, even with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard laying out irrefutable proof of Clinton's Russia hoax crimes, zilch happens. They glide right by. At least now it's crystal clear: Clinton's a crook who'll never face deposition, much less a cell.
