The mining company, Uranium One, was originally based in South Africa, but merged in 2007 with Canada-based UrAsia Energy. Shareholders there retained a controlling interest until 2010, when Russia's nuclear agency, Rosatom, completed purchase of a 51% stake. Hillary Clinton played a part in the transaction because it involved the transfer of ownership of a material deemed important to national security — uranium, amounting to one-fifth of U.S. reserves — thus requiring the approval of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), on which the U.S. Secretary of State sits.

Why didn't you copy and paste this part?
The Uranium One deal was not Clinton's to veto or approve

Among the ways these accusations stray from the facts is in attributing a power of veto or approval to Secretary Clinton that she simply did not have. Clinton was one of nine cabinet members and department heads that sit on the CFIUS, and the secretary of the treasury is its chairperson. CFIUS members are collectively charged with evaluating the transaction for potential national security issues, then turning their findings over to the president. By law, the committee can't veto a transaction; only the president can. According to The New York Times, Clinton may not have even directly participated in the Uranium One decision. Then-Assistant Secretary of State Jose Fernandez, whose job it was to represent the State Dept. on CFIUS, said Clinton herself "never intervened" in committee matters.

I think you are smart enough to figure it out. Ol Jose did what he was told to do and Hillary had no clue and had no involvement in this? Sure.....she must have been sleeping.

That's what I was going to say about the fake news you posted.

I think you are also smart enough to figure this one out......"Of the $145 million allegedly contributed to the Clinton Foundation by Uranium One investors, the lion's share — $131.3 million — came from a single donor, Frank Giustra."

But Giustra sold off his entire stake in the company in 2007, three years before the Russia deal and at least 18 months before Clinton became secretary of state.

Yep......loves the Clintons so much he gives them $131.3 million......no strings attached. Even Snopes could not spin that fact like they did the rest of the story simply because its on the record.

I'm just curious because I'm not all that worldly ... but what does "allegedly" mean?

I looked this up awhile back ... Clinton may have not even had a role in it, and if she did, there were also another 5-6 government agencies that all had to approve it as well. But, I know you really really really want to believe it, so there's nothing anybody is going to say or show you that's going to change your mind.
