Fox News’s Shepherd Smith debunks his network’s favorite Hillary Clinton ‘scandal,’ infuriates viewe

Fenton said:
Shep didnt debunk anything, he offered the same selective BS that can be found on MSNBC

Even the NYTs had to acknowledge that over 2 million dollara were donated to the Clinton foundation by the Chairman of Uranium One, before during and after the sale was Oked.

Shep didnt mention Bill Clintons speaking fee, or the fact that these donations were never disclosed by Hillary or the fact that this Uranium made it out of the US and Canada thanks to the Obama administrations 2011 lifting of export restrictions on Rosatam.

So what about the other 8 people and the NRC? You keep conveniently leaving out literally every other person involved in this deal besides Hillary.

Your bias is showing.

:lamo How embarassing.

Your ignorance is not my " lie "

Uranium was exported to Canada and later Europe thanks to the Obama administration
Uranium One deal led to some exports to Europe, memos show | TheHill

In 2011, the Obama administration removed Rusatom, the Rusian nuclear agency and now owners of Uranium One from the list of restricted companies that were not allowed to export Uranium or other sensitive tecnologies or materials

You have no idea what your'e talking about

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


Edit: I'd like to add that I admire someone like Tucker Carlson (on FOX) who doesn't interrupt and actually LISTENS to the people he interviews, even if they have completely opposing viewpoints from him, and has a real discussion with his guests... All the liberal people do is just constantly interrupt and talk over their guests, and they never actually directly address or listen to what the other side is saying to them.

It figures you would trust a biased cable news channel over mainstream media. Your president does too. He gets all his news from Fox. Now that’s funny!

So why did AG Sessions tell Rep. Jordan that the facts don't support an investigation by a Special Counsel ?
Click to expand...

He was asked what it takes to appoint a special investigator and he said it takes more than what "it looks like", it takes facts.
That's certainly true.
It was implicit that there needs to be more facts.
Did he rule out any investigation of any kind?
It's very possibly true that there doesn't need to be a Special Counsel unless an impartial investigation isn't possible given that the players who would be doing the investigation have been too closely involved already.

Uranium One deal led to some exports to Europe, memos show

"“Neither Uranium One Inc. nor AMRZ holds a specific NRC export license. In order to export uranium from the United States, Uranium One Inc. or ARMZ would need to apply for and obtain a specific NRC license authorizing the exports of uranium for use in reactor fuel,” then-NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko wrote to Barrasso.

The NRC never issued an export license to the Russian firm, a fact so engrained in the narrative of the Uranium One controversy that it showed up in The Washington Post’s official fact-checker site this week. “We have noted repeatedly that extracted uranium could not be exported by Russia without a license, which Rosatom does not have,” the Post reported on Monday, linking to the 2011 Barrasso letter."

"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.

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.”

The move escaped notice in Congress."

"Uranium One's American arm, however, emailed a statement to The Hill on Wednesday evening confirming it did export uranium to Canada through the trucking firm and that 25 percent of that nuclear fuel eventually made its way outside North America to Europe and Asia, stressing all the exports complied with federal law."


Just helping out.

I'm talking about FOX as a whole, not just a specific person's show... But take any of the other big networks, and talk about them as a whole, and you will notice that people only get to hear about the liberal side of each issue, and see interviews of faux republicans trashing conservatives, but they won't actually directly talk to the conservatives and debate their ideas head on.

If you want to look at specific shows, like I said, Tucker Carlson does a great job of letting his guests speak their mind without interruption, having an actual conversation, and then he debates their ideas head on in a logical manner.

Point me to a SINGLE person on ANY of the other networks who does that... They all interrupt conservative voices and immediately shut them down instead of letting them speak their minds without interruption and debating their ideas head on in a logical manner.

Step outside the bubble of liberal mainstream media propaganda, and you will see just how bad it really is...
 
Fenton said:
What makes you think Shep is '' telling the truth " ? He offered up the typical Left wing partisan account of what happened minus a few highly relevent details

Like the fact Bill Clinton recieved 500 thousand dollars from a Russian Bank who supported and faciliated the sale just prior to it being approved.

Or the fact Hillary Clinton didnt disclose these or other donations to the Clinton foundation.
Or the fact that her vote could have stopped the sale, or the fact that the Obama administration was well aware of extensive Russian criminal activity involved with this deal but allowed it to go through anyway

Or the fact that uranium WAS exported out of the US and into Europe.

The Lefts indifference to ACTUAL Russian meddling and influence peddlng and a Russian deal that benefited Putin is highly hypocritical to say the least
Click to expand...

Because I've researched the situation for myself and reached the exact same conclusions he did. The information's out there. All you have to do is research the matter yourself instead of relying on partisan talking heads and news outlets that tell you what you want to hear.

Contrary to what you might think, I don't listen to or read just one or two news outlets. I get my news from a vast cross-section of news outlets and then review supplemental resource information to reach my own decisions. I've even reviewed the annual reports in question (as amended) from the CGI, CF and its subsidiaries in an attempt to determine for myself what was what. (They're lengthy tax filings, but you just have to dig through them.)

Hillary's vote could not stop the sale. She would have merely been one nay vote among 8 yeas. The only person who could stop the vote even if it were unanimous was the President.

Uranium from the U.S. mining companies WAS NOT exported to Russia. It may have been exported to the Canadian subsidiary, but it was not exported to Russia. Regardless, none of the mined uranium is weapons grade. So, I really don't get what you guys on the right are so pissed off about. The Uranium "sale" wasn't even a sale of the company's uranium. It was the sale of 20% controlling interest in the company (stock sales, not product (raw material) sales).

Sheps never struck me as the brightest bulb in the box, and this just reinforces my suspicions that he may be somewhat challenged intellectually and also that he's a total HACK

First there's Bill Clintons 500k speaking engagement with the Russian bank just prior to the Ok of the deal
A bank that not only supported the sale but facilitated it

Then there's the " 9 federal agencies signing off on it " talking point used by the Left and idiot Shep to minimize Hillary Clintons role in this scandal.

Not Nine Federal Agencies, but Nine US Senior Obama officals including Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder, who sat on the Comitee for Foreign Investents.

Eric Holder was well aware of exstensive Russian criminal activity involved in the purchase of Uranium One, and approved it anyway and this idea that Hillary had zero influence is hillariously naive.

Then there's the donations to the Clinton foundation that started in 2008. What was Hillary doing in 2008 ? Running for President.

If there was ever any question as to WHY Obama appointed Hillary to head the State Department, scandals like Uranium One pretty settles it

Donations to the Clinton foundation increased exponentiallly why she was Sec of State and stopped immediately when she lost to Donald Trump.
Why did they stop ? Its a mystery...:roll:

Then there's the fact that these donations were not disclosed. I didnt see Shep mentioning anything about that....Weird

Call it a consolation prize for Obama beating her in the primary, but she was allowed to sell access and influence as Sec of State as hundreds of millions of dollars flowed into the Clinton foundation, and not just from the sale of Uranium One

So no, Sheppard Smith didnt " debunk " anything, he's the resident hack and village idiot at Fox news and this latest nonsense prove it.

There's a reason Grassley and his Commite are looking into Uranium One, there's a reason Jeff Sessions gave a directive to senior US prosecutors at the DOJ to investigate this matter further.

You're unreachable.

You literally had the facts laid out for you in an ABC123 way that a child would be able to understand them, and all you can do is just babble off your Brietbart talking points anyways.

This story, like every other "Clinton is corrupt!" story, was a complete bust for the neocons.:lamo

Can you point me to where the "complete story" is being told. For the life of me I can't figure out this scandal.

- Hillary had one vote, but everyone asked to weigh in approved the deal - the vote was unanimous.
- How did she influence others to commit treason, or if not treason, to vote for a deal not in our national interests?
- Is there any evidence Hillary lobbied even ONE of those other dozen or so agency heads who signed off?
- What's the national security threat? The deal involved 2% of our annual uranium supplies. Now it involves only 1%, as several U.S. mines have come back online since the purchase.
- How can Russia use the purchase to harm the U.S.? They can't export the uranium without a permit from now the Trump administration. If they idle the mines, so what? Uranium is a commodity traded on world markets, and other suppliers will be eager to step into the breach, including other U.S. producers.

All of this scandal revolves, I assume, around the notion that Clinton approved of the deal in return for money. Can you prove that she approved of the deal?

Whether he researched it himself or had a research team do it for him, we reached the same conclusion. The only reason Republicans are clinging to the believe Hillary is culpable is you want to believe the "Crooked Hillary" mantra from your lying con man of a President and really see her "locked up". You want it so bad you won't even believe your own Attorney General when he said in a recent hearing before Congress there's nothing to investigate.

There's really not a single concrete allegation anywhere except some Russians gave some money to the Clinton Foundation. Beyond that the assumption is Hillary is guilty of something because HILLARRRRYY!!!! There's not a shred of evidence she improperly influenced this approval. There is no evidence she lobbied for it at all. There's no explanation why Defense, Homeland Security, Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Agency signed off if they thought this deal harmed our national security. There's no explanation why this deal that at the time affected 2% (now 1%) of our national uranium consumption matters given that uranium is a commodity traded on world markets with many large suppliers who aren't Russian, including a helluva lot of it produced right there in Canada, ready to sell us more if Uranium One decides not to. Etc...........
