Uranium Smear Is a Hoax







"DID HILLARY CLINTON sell the country’s uranium to Russia
in return for donations to the Clinton Foundation? Did the Democrats
collude with Russian nationals to tip the election against Donald Trump? 





No, and no. Which raises a third question:
Why is any of this relevant, particularly now? A fair look at the facts
suggests only one option. President Trump needs a distraction, and his
surrogates, some Republican members of Congress, right-wing media and
even some people in mainstream outlets are helping him gin up outrage
against a woman who is not, was never and will never be president. It is a measure of the power of partisanship to warp people’s judgment that this bald trickery is getting any traction."



. . .



"The party in power is demanding the investigation and possible
prosecution of its defeated political rival on trumped-up claims of
wrongdoing. This is what happens in banana republics, not the world’s
greatest democracy. Even if this is just a strategy to divert attention,
it is unbecoming of the leaders of a rule-of-law state and a disservice
to their oaths."
