Fact Checker: The repeated, incorrect claim that Russia obtained '20 percent of our uranium'

Well, an anonymous twitter account says so, must be true!

"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, the company’s Canadian founder. 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. "

But why would facts matter? It's the Trump era, lie big and keep lying.

what do you mean I am a birther?
I have not seen any evidence tested by a court in either direction. I have no idea where obama was born and you don't have any court tested evidence either.

Obama may have been born in Hi... I don't know and neither do you.
That is called logic...

outside of the witnesses... only a moron would say they knowsfor sure where obama was born.

1. What crime? Where is the indictment? You are a birther, your assertions have zero value. Show me evidence. Didn't you Trump supporters keep asking for evidence for Russian collusion?

2. And you do? Based on what? Tugger Carlson's anonymous source? The guy who is directly paid by Trump?

we already know that snopes article is wrong.
I showed you that uranium had left the country.

that snopes article is fake news.

For PROCESSING.

And if ANY ILLEGAL export happened, that would be treason but given there has been NO investigations, that's complete speculation.

Also, I want you to consider the absurdity of your allegation.

Russians paid 100s of millions of dollars in bribe so that a small shipment of 3% of US's Uranium production which is 0.4% of world's uranium production could go to Europe and Japan? You know how much is 25% of 3% of 0.4% is? Try calculating it and then multiply it by $36 which is how much Uranium costs in open market.

I mean, WTF.

And there it is, confirmed

""That license stated that the Canadian Government needed to obtain prior approval before any of the U.S. material could be transferred to any country other than the U.S.," the letter added. "Subsequently the U.S. Department of Energy granted approval for some re-transfers of U.S. uranium from the Canadian conversion facilities to European enrichment plants.""

"None of the US U308 product produced to date has been sold to non-US customers except for approximately 25% which was sold via book transfer at the conversion facilities to customers from Western Europe and Asia," executive Martha Wickers said. "Any physical export of the product from conversion facilities to non-US destinations is under the control of such customers and subject to NRC regulation."

NRC officials told The Hill that Uranium One exports flowed from Wyoming to Canada and on to Europe between 2012 and 2014, and the approval involved a process with multiple agencies.

The United States actually imports the majority of the uranium it uses as fuel. In 2016, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, 24 percent of the imports came from Kazakhstan and 14 percent came from Russia.

Look at how dirty this was see how they added Uranium One to the export license to fake out Congress by the Obama administration. Did you not read the article? it destroys your argument. It shows you to have been a lying traitor for the last few months. So in short there was a 25% increased in Uranium exported per that license. 25% of the Uranium went to Europe and never came back. Which is exactly what I have been telling you.

"Yet NRC memos reviewed by The Hill show that it did approve the shipment of yellowcake uranium - the raw material used to make nuclear fuel and weapons - from the Russian-owned mines in the United States to Canada in 2012 through a third party. Later, the Obama administration approved some of that uranium going all the way to Europe, government documents show.

NRC officials said they could not disclose the total amount of uranium that Uranium One exported because the information is proprietary. They did, however, say that the shipments only lasted from 2012 to 2014 and that they are unaware of any exports since then."

Rather than give Rosatom a direct export license - which would have raised red flags inside a Congress already suspicious of the deal - the NRC in 2012 authorized an amendment to an existing export license for a Paducah, Ky.-based trucking firm called RSB Logistics Services Inc. to simply add Uranium One to the list of clients whose uranium it could move to Canada.

The license, reviewed by The Hill, is dated March 16, 2012, and it increased the amount of uranium ore concentrate that RSB Logistics could ship to the Cameco Corp. plant in Ontario from 7,500,000 kilograms to 12,000,000 kilograms and added Uranium One to the "other parties to Export."

I suspect... Obama and Clinton crime family were on in this treason... to allow putin control Uranium so that he could get the uranium to Iran.

You see Obama approved shipments of Yellowcake Uranium to Iran before Trump stopped it.

Sure buddy, 'treason' that is not even being investigated by Trump's own DOJ.

Obama and Hillary gave net exporters of Uranium a small percentage of 3% of 0.4% of US Uranium for millions of dollars when directly buying uranium could have cost them less

Makes a lot of sense!

Only traitor is Trump and Mueller is coming to get ya.

WHATABOUT won't help you one bit.

Thanks for your ZeroHedge link, that reminds me, how did that Seth Rich story go?

To ENRICHMENT facilities in EUROPE, can you even read? What do you think enrichment means?

From the article

Department of Energy granted approval for some re-transfers of U.S. uranium from the Canadian conversion facilities to European enrichment plants.""

"to other parties for export"

do you understand what a lying asshole you have been.
you said it did not leave the country... yet.. they deceived congress to allow Uranium One to the other parties to export list.

that it may have been enriched does not change the fact it was exported to europe... when you and tony and the dnc lying team were lying your asses off and saying it never left the country.
