Gorka: Clinton Guilty Of Treason Like Rosenbergs And They 'Got The Chair' -- TPM

Former White House aide and self-proclaimed counterterrorism expert Sebastian Gorka on Thursday said that that Hillary Clinton's role in approving the sale of a uranium mining firm to Russia was "equivalent" to the actions of convicted spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Gorka compared Clinton's actions, into which congressional Republicans announced a probe this week, to the spying convictions of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, which resulted in their execution in 1953. ....

Hillary Clinton, Russia, and uranium: What you need to know -- PolitiFact

A 2016 campaign attack involving former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and her role in a uranium sale that involved Russia is back in the news. With new revelations, increased media attention and reader requests, we decided to take another look. Because the details of the story are murky and based in part on anonymous sources, we won't put any claims to the Truth-O-Meter. Instead, we'll explain what we knew previously, what new information has come to light, and what we still don't know. ....

Nunes Announces Probe With Gowdy Into Obama-Era Russian Uranium Deal -- TPM

It seems that House Republicans are feeling nostalgic for their Obama-era investigations. On the same day that the House Republicans on the Oversight and Judiciary committees announced an investigation into the Justice Department's handling of the Hillary Clinton email inquiry, House Intel Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) touted another investigation being launched into Obama administration's Justice Department, having to do with a 2010-11 Russian uranium deal that has gotten fresh scrutiny. ....

Trump Calls Press ‘Dishonest,’ Then Utters Falsehoods of His Own

President Trump took aim at reporters on Thursday for more than an hour at an impromptu White House news conference. “The press has become so dishonest,” he said, and not talking about it would be “doing a tremendous disservice to the American people.” He added that the “level of dishonesty is out of control.” In accusing the news media, though, Mr. Trump uttered several falsehoods of his own. Here is a list of some of the most important....

Michael Cohen: Says Hillary Clinton "presided over $6 billion lost at the State Department, sold uranium to the Russians through (her) faux charity, illegally deleted public records, and murdered an ambassador."

Donald Trump’s lawyer accused Hillary Clinton of incompetence, treason, breaking public disclosure law and murder. A week after his client delivered a major speech knocking Hillary Clinton, Trump Organization executive vice president and special counsel Michael Cohen used his client’s preferred social media platform, Twitter, to paint "Crooked Hillary" as a disaster for national security....

Each claim is either misleading or outrageously wrong. We'll explain why....

Donald Trump: Says Hillary Clinton’s State Department "approved the transfer of 20 percent of America’s uranium holdings to Russia, while nine investors in the deal funneled $145 million to the Clinton Foundation."

Hillary Clinton’s eponymous nonprofit foundation provided ready-made fodder for a series of attacks from Donald Trump.

In a major speech last week, the presumptive Republican nominee recited a number of claims from Clinton Cash, a 2015 bestselling investigation into donations to the Clinton Foundation.

 Among them: "Hillary Clinton’s State Department approved the transfer of 20 percent of America’s uranium holdings to Russia, while nine investors in the deal funneled $145 million to the Clinton Foundation — $145 million dollars."

We wanted to vet this charge of Clinton engaging in pay-to-play politics. Trump’s claim is a reductive version of his source material’s findings and runs into several problems....
