Where to start? Where to start.

1. The decision was made by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). There are nine agencies and directorates that make up the CFIUS. The Chair is held by the Department of the Treasury.

2. The CFIUS can NOT veto or prevent the transaction. Only the President can stop the transaction. The CFIUS only provides advice and manages the interrelationships between various organizations.

3. Clinton was not on the CFIUS. Assistant Secretary of State Jose Fernandez was the State Department representative. He has stated that Clinton was not part of any deliberations nor did she intervene at any time.

Is there supposed to be some sort of logic hiding in there somewhere? If so, I must congratulate you on your skills in the art of camouflage. :Kaleun_Applaud:

The Pinocchio Test

Trump and his campaign claim that Clinton “gave” or “handed over” 20 percent of American uranium rights to the Russians. Through the Uranium One deal, the Russian state-owned nuclear energy company does now have control over 20 percent of U.S. uranium extraction capacity. But it cannot export the uranium.

In 2010, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States approved the sale of the majority of the shares to the Russians. The State Department was one of nine agencies on the committee that approved the deal. The deal was also separately approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

There is no evidence Clinton herself got involved in the deal personally, and it is highly questionable that this deal even rose to the level of the secretary of state. Theoretically, as Schweizer says, Clinton could have intervened. But even then, it ultimately would have been Obama’s decision whether to suspend or block the deal.

We wavered between Three and Four Pinocchios. Trump so often uses broad-brushed language that pushes him into Four Pinocchio territory, and this is yet another one of those cases. He specifically names Hillary Clinton as the active agent in the Uranium One deal, saying she “gave them” or “handed over” uranium to the Russians, but that is not the case. Then, he further claimed the sale went forward in exchange “for a big payment.” There’s no evidence for that claim either.

Trump could have avoided so many Pinocchios had he been more careful with the language. For example: “Hillary Clinton’s State Department was one of nine agencies that approved the deal.” Words matter.
As you say, the Washington Post is a 'liberal rag'. I'm glad to see you find their analysis of Trump's casual disregard for little details like actually getting the facts right to be of such value, despite your apparent dislike of their political leanings.

Firstly, I am not your 'son', and I suspect I may be some years older than you: lose the patronising attitude. Secondly it isn't my government: we have our own brand of ego-driven political elite this side of the Atlantic. And thirdly, if you want to win arguments, I suggest you start providing some evidence to back them up, rather than spamming this forum with vacuous drivel and links to articles which state the exact opposite of what you seem to think they do.

I'm sure there's good money to be made spewing forth deranged conspiracy theories you don't actually believe in yourself to gullible fools who think that giving credence such claptrap makes them look intelligent. All-American free enterprise at its best!
