And boy, is this a doozy.
As Twitchy reported, a New York Times bombshell reveals that the Clinton Foundation accepted millions in donations from Russian-owned Uranium One in exchange for 20 percent of the U.S.’s uranium production capacity. Bill Clinton also reportedly received $500,000 in speaking fees from a Russian Bank promoting Uranium One stock. All this happened while Hillary was secretary of state. Naturally, neither she nor the foundation felt the need to disclose any of this to the Obama administration.
According to the piece’s co-author Jo Becker, Frank Giustra, a Clinton donor, fundraiser, and financier of the Canadian mining company sold to the Russians — the company that would ultimately become Uranium One — arranged for a meeting of mining company investors at the Clintons’ house in Chappaqua, something both the Clinton Foundation and Giustra later denied.
Big mistake:
Wow, per @BretBaier Fox documentary: Clintons originally denied meeting at Chappaqua house to NYT, changed story when NYT produced photo.

Denied meeting happened, confronted with photo evidence, then acknowledged that "yes, the meeting had taken place."https://t.co/MzGAGEtIEe

The truth, no matter how inconvenient, will always come out.

Clinton Foundation officials straight up lied to an NYT reporter about a meeting not knowing she already had answer. https://t.co/65KX0q8D2h

If there’s any justice, she will be. Or maybe not …
The should end any presidential campaign (it won't) https://t.co/NUS5j7Bu5B

Unfortunately, these are the Clintons we’re dealing with. Justice isn’t always enough.
