Lawyer claims informer has on the record evidence of Clinton quid pro quo for Uranium One deal

Fox News:
...
Victoria Toensing, the attorney representing the FBI informant, said there's "on-the-record quid pro quo" surrounding the deal, with Bill Clinton receiving a $500,000 speaking fee from a Russian bank and the Clinton Foundation getting tens of millions of dollars from people interested in the Uranium One deal.

"My client can put some meat on those bones and tell you what the Russians were saying during that time," Toensing said.

Bill Hemmer said this all sounds "nefarious," but he asked if any of this is actually illegal.

"To pay bribes and kickbacks? Yes! It certainly is," Toensing said. "The other thing that's against the law is the quid pro quo of whether the Clintons benefited - and we know that they did. And that would be up for a jury to look at it and say, 'Well, was there evil intent?'"

She said these accusations are similar to the corruption and bribery charges that Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is facing.

It is not clear from this whether he has the Clintons saying these things or the Russians who were pushing the deal, but in either case, it is a problem for Bill, Hillary, and Obama.  We have known about the payments since the publication os "Clinton Cash" shortly before Hillary got the nomination.  Tying the payments to the quid pro quo sounds like a big deal.
