I think you need to get clued up a bit better on the Fake Dossier story too, it was the Washington Post who broke the story about the Clintons and the Democrats paying for the story, yes a Republican contributed, but the DNC and Clintons paid millions of dollars.

Rubbish, no I haven’t. The Snopes article is referring to what was brought to light in 2016, a lot more info has come about. Republicans are calling for a special prosecutor, they would not be doing this, if the story did not hold any substance.

You mean the same Republicans that held
7 inquiries into Benghazi at a cost of 10s of millions of dollars and only found minor issues? They couldn’t possibly be following their previous pattern of behaviour, could they?
They couldn’t possibly be trying to distract/obfuscate what’s happening with the Mueller investigations, could they?
I wonder if Trey Gowdy will call for an inquiry into the 4 deaths in Niger?
Anyway, updated version of the Uranium One allegations from a different fact checking dire from 2 days ago...

The Hill story also rehashed an FBI investigation that resulted in “charges against the Russian nuclear industry’s point man in the United States, TENEX director Vadim Mikerin, as well as a Russian financier and an American trucking executive whose company moved Russian uranium around the United States.”
In 2015, Mikerin was sentenced to 48 months and required to pay more than $2 million in restitution for conspiring to commit money laundering, according to the Justice Department.
The Hill quoted the attorney for a former FBI informant in the TENEX case as saying her client “witnessed numerous, detailed conversations in which Russian actors described their efforts to lobby, influence or ingratiate themselves with the Clintons in hopes of winning favorable uranium decisions from the Obama administration.”
The convictions of Guryev and Mikerin are not new, and there’s no evidence that either case has any connection to the Rosatom-Uranium One merger. Nevertheless, the article has prompted the Republican chairmen of the House intelligence and oversight committees to announce a joint investigation of the merger.
On Fox News, Rep. Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House intelligence committee, said that “we’ve been communicating back and forth through different channels” with the FBI informant in the TENEX case.
“You are talking about major decisions that were made at a time when we were resetting relations with Russia that actually happened to benefit, you know, the Clinton Foundation, perhaps other avenues, we don’t know yet,” Nunes said in an Oct. 24 interview with Bret Baier.
It may be that individuals and companies sought to curry favor with Hillary Clinton and even influence her department’s decision on the Uranium One sale. But, as we’ve written before, there is no evidence that donations to the Clinton Foundation from people with ties to Uranium One or Bill Clinton’s speaking fee influenced Hillary Clinton’s official actions. That’s still the case. We will update this article with any major developments.
