Hillary's Everyday Americans: Billionaire Frank Giustra, Vladimir Putin, and Assorted Kazakh Uranium-Sheiks

James Taranto digests the blockbuster New York Times story by Jo Becker and Mike McIntire.

[T]he Times follow-up dropped early this morning, and the story has developed considerably since 2008, by which point Giustra had sold off his mining concern, UrAsia Energy Ltd., to a company called Uranium One.

After the merger, the Times reports, "Uranium One began to snap up mining companies with assets in the United States" with the aim, as a company press release put it, of becoming "a powerhouse in the United States uranium sector with the potential to become the domestic supplier of choice for U.S. utilities."

But by June 2009, Uranium One was in trouble, its stock "in free-fall, down 40 percent." Its Kazakh partner "had just been arrested on charges that he illegally sold uranium deposits to foreign companies," including UrAsia. That's where the State Department came in. Uranium One "pressed the American Embassy in Kazakhstan . . . to take up its cause with Kazakh officials." It did: According to State Department cables, an unnamed U.S."“energy official" met with Kazakh officials "to discuss the issues on June 10 or 11":


Three days later, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rosatom [the Russian atomic energy agency] completed a deal for 17 percent of Uranium One. And within a year, the Russian government would substantially up the ante, with a generous offer to shareholders that would give it a 51 percent controlling stake. But first, Uranium One had to get the American government to sign off on the deal.

"Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department," headed by Secretary Clinton, the Times notes. Meanwhile at the Clinton Foundation, the money kept coming in:

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One's chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.

At the time, both Rosatom and the United States government made promises intended to ease concerns about ceding control of the company’s assets to the Russians. Those promises have been repeatedly broken, records show.


A pathetic attempt at spin from a Hillary mouthpiece Brian E. Fellow then followed. Citing Yahoo news -- Yahoo news, itself a partisan outfit -- he can only manage this weak defense:

On yet another of his primary attacks, ​Yahoo News​points out that the author “marshals circumstantial evidence” only to find “no smoking gun.”

Can't wait to see that on a Hillary bumper sticker:

Vote for Hillary

There's only circumstantial evidence she sold America's uranium stockpiles to Russia, "no smoking gun" yet.

Gabriel Malor and Morgen Richmond have been pouring over this Reuters report that the Clintons seem to have deliberately falsified the foundation's 990 reports to hide the hundreds of millions in foreign government donations flowing to the "charity."


The charities' errors generally take the form of under-reporting or over-reporting, by millions of dollars, donations from foreign governments, or in other instances omitting to break out government donations entirely when reporting revenue, the charities confirmed to Reuters.

The errors, which have not been previously reported, appear on the form 990s that all non-profit organizations must file annually with the Internal Revenue Service to maintain their tax-exempt status.....


For three years in a row beginning in 2010, the Clinton Foundation reported to the IRS that it received zero in funds from foreign and U.S. governments, a dramatic fall-off from the tens of millions of dollars in foreign government contributions reported in preceding years.

Those entries were errors, according to the foundation: several foreign governments continued to give tens of millions of dollars toward the foundation's work on climate change and economic development through this three-year period...

As JWF comments:

I have two thoughts here: First, I don't know what Reuters means by "overreporting and underreporting," but I can guess, and here's my guess: They did not acknowledge this money came from foreign governments -- thus "underreporting" foreign government donations -- and instead marked that money as coming from other sources, in other categories, thus "overreporting" in those areas.

But that is another way to say, I think, "deliberately falsified the sources of the money in question."

Note that James Carville will probably claim "so she overreported heah and underreported theah, it all washes out to a big nothin' at all," so bear in mind: If you're hiding the source of money but not the money itself, you launder it by denying its true source, while attributing it to another, more legitimate source.

Even Hillary Stalwart Politico is forced to admit that Hillary's first line of defense -- that this is all a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (no, really, that's her defense) -- is "dead in the water."

And even a New York Times reporter is complaining that Clintons' response to every question is to claim the reporter is filled with rightwing partisan animus. Every question, this reporter says, is claimed to be "out of bounds."

Just re-watched that FoxNews report on selling half of America's uranium production to Vladimir Putin: Asked for comment by Fox, Frank Giustra claims "It's an old story."

Isn't it strange that a Hillary crony is offering up Hillary's Favorite Response to ethics questions?

NJ's Josh Kraushaar says the Democrats' all-in wager on Nothin' But Hillary is looking like a terrible bet.

The notion that she will be able to avoid the "distractions," to borrow her characterization of the growing controversies, is delusional. If she continues to insist that these pay-to-play allegations are another "right-wing conspiracy" and not deserving of a substantive response, it could be fatal for her campaign. The dismissive response from her allies is doing her nearly as much damage as the allegations themselves. It guarantees the coverage will last much longer than the current news cycle.

Democrats are badly misreading the polls showing Clinton as a formidable Democratic force. Her strong numbers are as much a product of a lack of primary competition as a result of her political strength. She's also benefiting from the country's partisan polarization at a time when there aren't many other Democrats offering themselves as an alternative and joining in on the criticism. But those benefits are looking awfully short-lived, as Clinton looks unprepared to tackle questions that undermine her credibility for higher office. The more Democrats bet on Clinton, the uglier the recriminations will get if things go wrong.

Oh and just when you say, "Surely this couldn't get any worse," BAM, you are WRONG, SON, because look at this.

Judicial Watch: State Department Documents Reveal Concern about Bill Clinton’s Activities with 'Saudi Entities'

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced that it has received 126 pages of documents from the State Department related to Hillary Clinton's possible conflicts of interest regarding her position as Secretary of State....

The latest group of documents shows that State Department officials had concerns in January 2011 about Bill Clinton's activities related to Saudi Arabia. An email chain, begun on January 25, 2011, includes several members of the State Department's Legal Advisor Office, and the subject line "Clinton Foundation Request – Saudi entities." The discussion is almost entirely redacted in the three-page email chain.

Other documents previously forced out through this lawsuit show that Bill Clinton worked with Tanmiah Commercial Group, a Saudi group based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that paid Clinton $300,000...

Also, discussed is a Clinton Foundation request regarding an undisclosed country in Asia in August 2010...

I kinda wonder if that's Kazakhstan, though the next sentence in the story mentions that the East Asia desk of the State Department looked into that.

Now, given all that, you won't be shocked that in the latest FoxNews polling, Hillary Clinton's honesty is questioned by a majority of the public.

Also, Rubio got a bounce to top the GOP field. Which is not a huge deal. We all saw the Flavor of the Week effect in 2012.

Announcing your candidacy helps your poll numbers. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio receives a five percentage-point bump after his April 13 announcement and has the backing of 13 percent in the race for the Republican nomination -- just a touch over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker who gets 12 percent among self-identified GOP primary voters....


Of those tested on the poll, Clinton, Biden and Cruz fare the worst on the “honest and trustworthy” question.

Currently, 45 percent of voters think Clinton is honest....Moreover, only 33 percent of independents see Clinton as honest. That’s down 13 points since last year.

Overall, Clinton’s honesty score is negative six (45 percent "yes, she is" minus 51 percent "no, she isn't"), Biden’s is negative four (44-48 percent) and for Cruz it's negative one (37-38 percent).

On the positive side: Rubio (+13), Paul (+12) and Carson (+7) score best on the honesty measure. Bush (+4) and Walker (+4) are also in positive territory.

Okay, that seems like enough for one post.

184 JJ, I'm pulling this from a website:
"In the Untied States, titanium-rich sands are mined in Florida and Virginia. Even thought US mines and processes titanium and titanium dioxide, it still imports significant amounts of both. Metallic titanium is imported from Russia (36%), Japan (36%), Kazakhstan (25%) and other nations (3%)."
Without delving deeper, I don't know what the exact EPA regs are, but generally they are not good.
So even though it can be mined in the US, 97% of titanium is imported from Russia, Japan and Kazakhstan. It appears that we are of the 3%.

185 So, Steam apparently now wants to charge for Skyrim mods, with a 24 hour money back guarantee if it doesn't work (If you've played skyrim, you know how laughable a proposition that is), with 75% of the download fee getting kicked back to bethesda. The response on discussion boards is entirely predictable.

Just pointing this out if The Dude or Zaku are around and need a topic for the gaming thread.

I did a double take and checked ... no, it's not that all mods cost money, it's that mod makers now have the option to sell them, so some mods will charge money.

I like free and all, but this just means that people who put in a lot of time into making free content can choose to make it paid content instead. Little different then you selling your knitting stuff vs giving it away.

I haven't seen any official rationale given. All mods are third party (as opposed to downloadable content made by bethesda). There was just this announcement in a popup when steam loaded today that this *feature* was active.

There seems to be mixed application of it. Most of the recently added mods are still free, and one of the priced ones I noticed is still being offered in a free version. However, I'm seeing prices of $4 and $5 on stuff that's been around for a while (and tends to get broken when the base game gets patched, with patches applied automatically when steam loads, and steam must be running for the game to be played), which for people who play with >100 mods is alarming, to say the least.

242 Remember Virginia Roberts? She's the woman who alleges that she was forced to have sex with a number of prominent men, including one of the Brit royals whose name I can't recall (but some people, as King Putt would say, think its refreshing a Brit is having sex with females, by the by), and others. Among those others is the very unlikely Alan Dershowitz, who immediately sued this chick for defamation and slander or something very serious, and there is was, in the soup.

So guess what? Virginia has a lawyer suddenly. And not just any lawyer either, but David Boies. Boies, age 74, is quite possibly the most famous litigator in the land, having become famous representing the government in it's antitrust case against IBM forty years ago and having litigated for fabulous profit ever since. One case you'll remember was his representation of Al Gore in Bush v. Gore before the Supreme Court. He has also represented the Clintons in various matters.

So now he is representing Virginia Roberts, the only woman who has come forward with actual evidence (including flight manifests and photos) tying famous men, including Bill Clinton, to Pedo-Island with Jeffrey Epstein.

Curious, isn't it? Virginia Roberts, a not well-off woman, gets sued by Alan Dershowitz and suddenly a Democrat loyalist, a Clinton TV defender in the past, shows up as her lawyer.

Who is paying? Why did Boies, whose firm usually takes cases in return for a significant piece of the eventual award and has so much business that they look carefully at cases before getting involved, take a case like this one, where there is no big payday in sight? Its a defense,and not a plaintiff's case, after all.

No, no, she has a book to sell.

She was living in Australia, only decided to go public and move back to the US recently. Before that, everything was hush hush.

One of the first things she said was she saw Clinton there, but didn't she him do anything. She had a little back and forth with Epstein about Clinton "owing him favors" but that's it.

268 75% kickback. In a change that is being imposed with no warning in a community that only exists because it was free.

For Skyrim, super popular target of modders and mod-players. Gives modders the rights so they get any money at all. Mods generally do not charge because they can't.

If this takes off, other games may use a lower cut to attract modders.

All this did was add the option to charge ... And people are free to copy the GPL on this. "My mod is free to use by free mods, but not for paid mods unless you blow me."

True, and it being free means all support is done out of the kindness of their hearts. Making it paid will allow some people to put more time into doing things right and well.

I also see this as potentially providing a training ground for new game developers/artists. That just means more games down the road.

======================

Don't be so certain. Stories like Roberts (who has lived for several years in Colorado with her husband and kids, I believe) come out in pieces, and caution is the order of the day when first hearing things like this. Let it develop.

Boies is a huge deal. Claiming he is representing her pro bono, to defend "abused women" is ridiculous on its face.

Roberts claims to have evidence supporting her claims and was previously represented by a couple of no-name lawyers so incompetent that Dershowitz is presently trying to get them disbarred.

Boies is a Clinton lawyer. If Roberts didn't have something on him, I suspect Boies would be nowhere near this tawdry case.

http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2015/03/ksc-pads-preparations-future-vehicles/

The two pads were originally built for the Saturn V, and were then converted for the Space Shuttle.

Of the two, 39A has gotten more use, launching all of the Apollo moon landing flights and about 2/3 of the Shuttle launches. It should continue to get more use in the future, since that's the pad SpaceX has leased.
