Tony Podesta Lobbied For Russia’s ‘Uranium One’ And Did Not File As A Foreign Agent

Daily Caller:

Tony Podesta’s lobbying firm, the Podesta Group, represented the Russian-owned company Uranium One during former President Barack Obama’s administration and did not register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, The Daily Caller News Foundation has determined.

Podesta collected lobbying fees of $180,000 from Uranium One, according to the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, that discloses lobbying documents filed with Congress. The uranium company states on its web site it is a “wholly owned subsidiary” of RUSANO, the Russian State Corporation for Nuclear Energy.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller already is scrutinizing Podesta and his firm for allegedly failing to register as a lobbyist for the European Center for a Modern Ukraine, a Ukrainian government entity.  His role there is tied up with former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort who was indicted on 12 counts on Oct. 30, including the failure to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

 

A cabinet-led federal committee that included former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, approved the sale of Uranium One to RUSANO in 2010, that permitted Russia to acquire twenty percent of America’s uranium reserves.

The sale of Uranium One to Russia today is the subject of at least three separate congressional committee investigations trying to determine if Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation received large financial gifts from Russians and from Uranium One’s owner and CEO. The committees are trying to determine if the gifts paved the way for the sale.

  1. Is Mueller going to give this clown the same treatment he gave Manifort? Roust him and his wife in the dark of night and perform a cavity search? Mueller is complicit in the uranium deal and he needs to answer for it, you awake yet Sessions?

  3. “did not register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act”

    he’s a piker compared to hillary, she didn’t register either and collected millions while being secretary of state.

    no time for increasing security at her consulate in benghazi but all the time in the world to collude with russia on the election and uranium one deal.

    priorities you know.

  4. What’s one more crime for these maggots?
    With his (D) connections he won’t be looked at a second time.

    The stench of DC has reached the Midwest and is starting to overpower the fresh air.
