Corruption: Shortly after the Uranium One story broke,
various news reports claimed that it was much ado about nothing. But a
review of a huge cache of newly available documents shows that, if
anything, it was worse than previously thought.
The Hill broke the bombshell story last month, which summed up goes like this: While the Obama administration was approving the controversial 2010 sale of Uranium One to a state-owned Russian energy giant — which gave it control of one-fifth of U.S. uranium supplies — the FBI was actively investigating that company for extensive criminal activity designed to expand Russia's footprint in the U.S. uranium business.
This raised questions about who in the Obama administration was aware of the FBI's evidence — which included bribery, extortion and racketeering — before greenlighting the sale. Officials involved denied knowing anything about the investigation at the time.
Now a cache of documents 5,000 pages long, which were reviewed by The Hill, sheds new and more troubling light on this story.
