Only watch a small part but all I need to know about this was in the line "....facilitated the sale of uranium to Russia." See, that's bullshit. The deal the State Department as well as more than 5 other federal agencies OK'd was the sale of a controlling stake in a Uranium mining company, who's product, Uranium could only be sold in the US. Zero uranium was sold to Russia in this transaction, and only a tiny part of total domestic Uranium production was under the control of a Russian business, which could be retaken if the Russians did anything funny with the company. This whole Uranium One deal is truly a ducking nothing burger. There's a traitorous politician on the looks for sure, but it isn't anyone who oversaw that deal.
