Uranium One: $$$ from Russia

By the way, just fyi, when you remove those HEU casings from around the stages of an H-bomb, that's how you make a neutron bomb, almost all the radioactive fallout produced by a nuclear weapon, comes from burning that casing, if you take it out, you release the neutrons to "flash fry" the targets with almost no fallout at all.

The is why Hanford Washington is a radioactive wasteland, because America switched to plutonium right at the start.

Nice.. never heard of this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford%2C_Washington

Hanford was a small agricultural community in Benton County, Washington, United States. It was depopulated in 1943 along with the town of White Bluffs in order to make room for the nuclear production facility known as the Hanford Site. The town was located in what is now the "100F" sector of the site.

The town was condemned by the Federal government to make way for the Hanford site. Residents were given a thirty-day eviction notice on March 9, 1943.[5] Most buildings were destroyed, with the notable exception of the high school. It was used during World War II as the construction management office.

Guess we really never did have a bill of rights.

Suspending the constitution or portions thereof, for war measures, is hardly anything new in America, George Washington did it, Abraham Lincoln too.

At least FDR didn't do that though. No one got detained after Pearl Harbor, thank goodness!

Yeah, exactly, the Hanford Site was hardly the most glaring suspension of constitutional rights in World War Two, even the sacred first amendment got chucked under the war bus. In World War Two, the conversation we are having right now could've got you arrested. In World War One as well, and that pesky old Espionage Act still reigns supreme.

They don't call it the Great Experiment for nothin', as, nobody ever promised that it was going to work.

George Washington did it before or after becoming president?

I don’t know much about this, but it’s important to differentiate between “uranium”, and “highly-enriched uranium”, which this is about. If it’s weapons-grade, then this is a very big deal indeed. And puzzling that anyone would even consider giving 20% of the stockpile to Russia.

Yeah, I might sound naive, but... that’s just a couple bridges too far to believe.

Wouldn't make any sense for the Russians to acquire large quantities of HEU to make nuclear warheads, as, like every other nuclear power, the Russians use implosion bombs, plutonium is the primary ingredient for the initiator, HEU is only used in small amounts to make the casings around stages, and they already have vastly more than enough than they need for that.

Ahhh... now, do we go nothingburger here, or pretend that we Hillary just sabotaged the entire balance of MAD?

Only after we spend taxpayers' money for the investigation and then start all over because the GOP is reaching for this one. Didn't even Session said that there is no evidence and/or not enough evidence of wrongdoing to even start an investigation?

Who the heck needs evidence? As long as their are multiple women with accusations of wrongdoing... #BelieveWomen, you have no reason to question it. Evidence be damned. #GuiltyUnlessProvenInnocent_andEvenThenWeDoubtIt
