Recently, newly declassified FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) records have sparked renewed interest in the Clinton Foundation’s ties to the Uranium One deal. These records, which closely align with previous investigative reporting by Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer, have brought this issue back into the public eye.
Peter Schweizer’s investigative reporting on the Clinton Foundation’s involvement in the Uranium One deal first gained national attention and now, with the release of these declassified documents, the probe into the potential wrongdoing of the Clinton Foundation has been reinvigorated.
The declassified FBI memos reveal that the DOJ leadership, under the Obama administration, may have hindered the investigation into the Clinton Foundation’s ties to the controversial Uranium One deal. This deal, which was approved by the Obama administration in 2010, involved the sale of a Canadian company with uranium assets to a Russian nuclear energy company. At the time of the sale, the Clinton Foundation had extensive ties to both the Canadian company and the Russian company, leading to questions about potential conflicts of interest.
According to the declassified memos, the FBI launched an investigation into the Clinton Foundation’s ties to the Uranium One deal in 2009. However, the investigation was reportedly stymied by the DOJ leadership, who, according to the memos, would not authorize subpoenas or expand the scope of the investigation. This lack of cooperation from the DOJ leadership is concerning and raises questions about potential interference in the investigation.
Peter Schweizer’s groundbreaking reporting first raised red flags about the Clinton Foundation’s involvement in the Uranium One deal. His book, “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” detailed how the Clinton Foundation received millions of dollars in donations from individuals and entities connected to the Uranium One deal. This included donations from the chairman of Uranium One, who reportedly gave over $2.3 million to the Clinton Foundation.
These recent developments, with the release of the declassified FBI memos, only reinforce the need for further investigation into the Clinton Foundation’s ties to the Uranium One deal. The American people deserve transparency and accountability, especially when it involves potential conflicts of interest and allegations of wrongdoing.
The fact that the DOJ leadership under the Obama administration may have hindered this investigation is alarming and raises questions about the integrity of our justice system. It is imperative that these newly released documents are thoroughly examined and that any potential wrongdoing is fully and impartially investigated.
Peter Schweizer’s work and the declassified FBI memos have once again brought the spotlight back onto the Clinton Foundation and its potential ties to the Uranium One deal. This should serve as a reminder that no one, regardless of political affiliation, is above the law and that any allegations of wrongdoing should be thoroughly investigated.
In the words of Peter Schweizer, “The best disinfectant is sunlight.” These declassified documents and investigative reporting have shed light on potential corruption and conflicts of interest within the Clinton Foundation. Now, it is up to our justice system to ensure that justice is served. The American people deserve nothing less.
