Russian Company Buys Majority Interest in American Uranium Mine. Why it Matters

Russian Company Buys Majority Interest in American Uranium Mine. Why it Matters | Somewhat Reasonable:
It was reported by Johathan Allen of Vox, that according to an International Business Times investigation “at  least 181 companies, individuals, and foreign governments have given to the Clinton Foundation also lobbied the State Department when Hillary Clinton ran the place”, and “Bill Clinton accepted more than $2.5 million in speaking fees from 13 major corporation and trade associations that lobbied the U.S. State Department while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
Peter Schweizer’s book, “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich”, likewise offers a tough view of the Clinton Foundation.  Noted in Schweizer’s book is how the Clinton Foundation is not a “traditional charity” in that the delineation is not clear where the Clinton political machines and moneymaking ventures end and where charity begins...
...Is Bribery of U.S. a possibility by Putin?
The proof of Hillary’s innocence or guilt rests in the hands of Vladimir Putin who may be the only person in the world with the legal right to authorize the release of classified documents that could exonerate Hillary Clinton when serving as Secretary of State.  Not only can Putin take over Ukraine (rich in Uranium mines) but is able to blackmail the USA with his capacity to export Uranium to Iran.  Rosatom had given Russia control of about one-fifth of all uranium producing capacity in the United States.
The fact that even liberal outlets such as the NYT and the Washington Post are taking Schweizer’s book seriously indicates that the information revealed is not partisan in nature, but instead should concern all Americans regardless of political affiliation.
An investigation is warranted, but will it be forthcoming?  Peggy Noonan had this to say in an Opinion piece in the WSJ on May 7th:  “I suspect she [Hillary] can because the Clintons are unique in the annals of American politics: They are protected from charges of corruption by their reputation for corruption.”
Does this nation now have a criminal justice system in which the rich and famous now skirt free of punishment, even when there seems to be sufficient smoke to indicate possible fire.  I hope not!  The rule of law, executed as fairly as possible, is important to maintaining a civil society, without which distrust and anarchy results.
Public trust and integrity must count for something. The 2016 election is important for it will determine this nation’s fate. Will the “great experiment” set forth by our Founding Fathers survive, or will the American people abandon the Constitution to live under a system of government where freedom and liberty are in short order?
