Russians paid lobbying firm tied to Clintons $3 million

Circa:

A Russian nuclear executive, whose company was the target of an FBI investigation and who admitted to corrupt payments to influence the awarding of contracts with the Russian state-owned nuclear energy corporation, paid millions of dollars in consulting fees to an American firm in 2010 and 2011 to lobby the U.S. regulatory agencies and assist the Russian's who were then attempting to acquire twenty percent of American uranium, according to court documents, a former FBI informant and extensive interviews with law enforcement sources.

Roughly $3 million in payments from 2010 to 2011 were made to APCO Worldwide Inc., which is described on their website as the second largest lobbying firm in the United States. The firm also provided in kind pro-bono services to Bill Clinton's foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative, services they begin 2007, according to APCO officials who spoke with Circa and press releases from the company. It was during the same time that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was part of the Obama administration board that would eventually approve the sale of the U.S. uranium to Russia.

Long-time Clinton supporter and APCO CEO, Margery Kraus signed the continuing contract on April, 12, 2010, with TENEX, as the Russian company's top executive Russian businessman Vadim Milkerin was being investigated by the FBI for kickbacks and bribery involving American companies, according to the APCO TENEX contract and court documents obtained by Circa. TENEX is a subsidiary of the the Russian state owned nuclear giant Rosatom, according to financial filings of the company.

APCO Worldwide Inc. said in a statement to Circa, "APCO was not involved on any aspect of Uranium One, or the CFIUS process relating to it. APCO Worldwide undertook activities on behalf of Tenex in 2010 and 2011 relating to civil nuclear cooperation, which APCO properly disclosed in detail at the time in public filings. Separately, since 2007-2008, APCO provided services in kind to the Clinton Global Initiative. APCO’s work for Tenex and APCO’s work for the Clinton Global Initiative were separate and unconnected, publicly documented from the outset, and fully consistent with all regulations and US law."

At the time the contract was signed with APCO, Rosatom, and its subsidiary TENEX, was seeking approval of Secretary of State Clinton and the other 12 members of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, known as CFIUS, for the sale of the Canadian company Uranium One, which controlled 20 percent of the U.S. uranium stockpile. CFIUS, is an inter-agency committee, which reviews business transactions involving the change of control of a U.S. business to a foreign person or entity that may have an impact on the national security of the United States.

The FBI's confidential informant has crucial information that can tie together the extent to which the Russian's went to infiltrate and obtain American uranium supplies, his lawyer said.

"They had no idea the informant was reporting to the FBI from the beginning and the Russians let their guard down with him, assuming he was just as bad as they were," said a source, with direct knowledge of the investigation. "The Russians were very verbal about the Clintons and Obama, using racial epitaphs to describe Obama and how weak he was and they were confidant they had the upper hand, they were sure that CFIUS would comply."

According to the source, the Russians had a two-part strategy that started as far back as the 1990s, and it was to "infiltrate the United States utility community and be able to negotiate directly with the U.S. utilities and be able to have access to people central in the U.S. government."

"The Russian's were breaking U.S. law while signing U.S. contracts with the Department of Commerce and the Department of Energy to name a few," said the source. "They would be terrified if there was any threat to them losing those contracts."

There is much more.

The mainstream media seeks to argue that there is nothing to see here.  It appears to me that there is much that needs to be followed up on to see how the corrupt bargain with the Russians was struck and who was involved in it.
