Deep State Assault on President Trump

When - if, depending on Attorney General Sessions - we get to the bottom of the coup attempt against President Trump, I suspect we'll learn that the plotters have been motivated at least in part by a desire to cover up this uranium deal.

We have filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of State for all records of communications relating to Uranium One, including records of communication sent to and from officials in the offices of the Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel, and the National Security Division from January 20, 2009 through December 31, 2013.

Any records relating to the company Uranium One, including records of communication sent to and from officials in the Office of the Secretary of State, Office of the Legal Advisor, Office of the Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security Affairs, Office of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance, Office of International Security and Nonproliferation, and the Office of Political-Military Affairs from January 20, 2009 through December 31, 2013.

Because Uranium One held licenses for 20 percent of America's uranium production capacity, the sale had to be approved by the nine members of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who assented to the transaction.

In July 2014, we released more than 200 Clinton conflict-of interest documents, including a record of a speech in Moscow in June 2010 sponsored by the investment bank Renaissance Capital by Bill Clinton addressing the theme of "Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States: Going Global." The document notes that, "Renaissance Capital is an investment bank focused on the emerging markets of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and sub-Saharan Africa." Renaissance Capital has also been linked to Russian efforts to gain control of Uranium One.

It is simply remarkable that we had to sue the State and Justice Departments in federal court for basic information about the shady Uranium One deal.

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.
