It sounds....a bit worse than that.
You're right. Let's run through it.
McCabe and Rosenstein went through the motions on this investigation, but do we have proof that they brought this investigation up to either Obama or the chair of the committee that Clinton sat on? Clinton was not the chair, for instance, and the vote to go ahead was a
unanimous one.
So we're looking at 16 Departments, including the State Department, Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and all voting members voted in favor of this uranium recovery and shipment company selling a fifth of said company to Russia.
They got emails, financial records, and recordings, SOME of which date back to 2009, but the deal was put into play in 2010, and the investigation lasted "close to four years," or rather, less than four years.
So in November of 2014, someone was indicted. Less than four years prior to that, at the end of 2010 at the earliest, the investigation began. AFTER the deal had been finalized. They served the indictment instead of sweeping it under the rug.
It's fucking nothing.
Look it up yourselves or allow me to provide the references with a savvy edit in a few minutes.
From the article itself,
A November 2014 indictment states that Vadim Mikerin, a director of Rosatom's Tenex, ”did knowingly and willfully combine, conspire confederate and agree with other persons ... to obstruct, delay and affect commerce and the movement of an article and commodity (enriched uranium) in commerce by extortion" from 2009 to January 2012.
The Department of Justice investigated the Russian plot for close to four years,
But the Obama administration insisted no evidence existed of Russian interference and that there were no national security concerns for committee members to go against the deal in 2010.
From factcheck.org,
Jose Fernandez, a former assistant secretary of state, represented the department on the committee. He told the Times: ”Mrs. Clinton never intervened with me on any C.F.I.U.S. matter."
