Senate Judiciary opens probe into Obama-era Russian nuclear bribery case

".... The evidence was first gathered in 2009 and 2010 but Department of Justice officials waited until 2014 to bring any charges. In between that time, President Obama's multi-agency Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) gave approval to Russia's Rosatom to buy a Canadian mining company called Uranium One that controlled 20 percent of America's uranium deposits.

 
The committee's members at the time included former Attorney General  Eric Holder  and former Secretary of State  Hillary Clinton, whose husband collected large speech fees and millions in charitable donations from Russia and other entities interested in the outcome of the decision.
 
Grassley dispatched letters late week to all the federal agencies whose executives served on the CFIUS when the decision was made, demanding to know whether they were aware of the FBI case before they voted. ...."
".....Grassley's letters demanded answers from the agencies by no later than  Oct. 26."

It is going to open a lot of eyes, they won't be able to hide them when they are convicted and sentenced, Sam Powers said she was told to ask for ummasking those people, she didn't do it on her own, that is yuge!

Thanks Jarasan. It's going to be very interesting indeed and no telling who will be involved when all is said and done.

I just seen that Sessions has an ongoing investigation on this deal.
Also seen the Democrats were riding his ass.
