Jeff Sessions Just Did Something Seconds Ago That Has All The Rats SCURRYING In Washington
This is breaking. The gag order has been lifted.
According to Lou Dobbs, the secret FBI informant that was threatened by Obama’s
administration to keep quiet about Russian bribes in the Uranium One scandal.
President Obama received information on Russia’s
criminal collusion with the State Department and yet the Obama administration
approved the sale of 20% of the nation’s uranium to the Russians.
According to a statement released to Fox News:
Gag order lifted: DOJ says informant can speak to
Congress on Uranium One, Russia bribery case with Clinton links:
The Justice Department said Wednesday night that it
had lifted a gag order on a former FBI informant involved in a high-profile
Russia bribery case, clearing the individual to speak to Congress about
Moscow’s Obama-era uranium deals in the U.S. market and other schemes.
In a statement, the department said it had authorized
the informant to speak to the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee, House
Oversight Committee, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence,
in addition to select staffers.
The department said the informant could provide “any
information or documents he has concerning alleged corruption or bribery
involving transactions in the uranium market,” including Russian company
Rosatom, subsidiary Tenex, Uranium One and the Clinton Foundation.
Uranium One refers to the name of a Canada-based
company with mines in the U.S. that was bought by Rosatom, a company backed by
the Russian state. The State Department, then led by Hillary Clinton, was one
of nine U.S. government agencies that had to approve the deal back in 2010.
All three congressional committees launched
investigations after The Hill reported that the FBI had evidence that Russian
nuclear officials were involved in fraudulent dealings – including extortion,
bribery and kickbacks – as far back as 2009 in a case involving Rosatom’s
subsidiary, Tenex. Congressional Republicans have since questioned how the
Uranium One deal was approved the following year by an inter-agency committee,
and sought to gain access to the informant.
Republicans also have raised concerns about efforts
by interested parties to influence the Clintons – citing donations to the
Clinton Foundation as well as a $500,000 speaking fee received in Russia by
former President Bill Clinton, who reportedly met with Vladimir Putin around
the time of the deal.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley,
R-Iowa, tweeted Tuesday that the Justice Department should appoint a special
prosecutor to investigate the Uranium One deal.

Whoever in DOJ is capable w authority to appoint a
special counsel shld do so to investigate Uranium One “whoever” means if u
aren’t recused
The informant’s attorney, Victoria Toensing, told Fox
Business Network Monday that her client can “tell what all the Russians were
talking about during the time that all these bribery payments were made.” The
informant earlier was prevented from testifying by former attorneys general
Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, according to Toensing, after having signed a
non-disclosure agreement.
