Putin is a good head of state for Russia. He is quite FOR Russia and doesn't suffer foolishness well. I like the way he calmly calls it bullshit when he thinks it is such. It makes sense that Ms Waffle & Spin Clinton developed a hate for him while Sec. State.
Trump, before his inauguration, was quite free to make legal contracts with Russian businesses. Hillary, by having a cabinet position, was not.
That is why there is so much "ho-hum" over Trump contacts with Russian businessmen and officials prior to the 2016 elections. There is consternation over Russian donations to the Clinton foundation concurrent with the Hillary led State Department approving sales of regulated materials to Russian companies.
I do consider the gross conceptual error of saying she sold it to the Russians to be a flag for "fake news" as they are too stupid to get things right. It was a business deal between two companies that, per international treaty, required government approval from both sides.
None of the mainstream clueless newsreaders have mentioned WHY the U.S. is selling Uranium to a country that has more Uranium than we do. And no mention if the "sale of uranium" was of highly enriched bomb grade or low enrichment power plant grade or natural uranium or of uranium ore to be refined in Russia. Besides the fact that there is no U.S. company left that refines Uranium; there might be another reason.
A country with serious historic issues of bribery being necessary for any approval of business dealings coupled with what most would consider a HUGE charitable donation to a charity influenced if not outright run by a government official. That is an appearance of impropriety if not indication of criminal acts.
Now, to lay aside the political finger pointing..... some brass tacks to put into the issue.
Why send uranium from the U.S. to Russia

And, believe it or not, the uranium sitting on U.S. soil (through some corporate links) actually belongs to Russians. But to ship it out of the country; you need State Department approval.
Most U.S. Uranium mines are owned by Uranium One, Ltd. with corporate headquarters in Toronto, Ontario.
One of the major stockholders in Uranium One, Ltd. is a large Russian nuclear company. Uranium ONE has mines and fuel manufacturing in Canada, the U.S., and... oh, go check their website for how big they are...

Will it turn out that the Sec. State took a hidden bribe to approve the shipment of Uranium out of the country? Perhaps the emails from the illegal server Hillary had will show whether it was a deal or coincidence of timing.
The really hinky thing about the story is that no mainstream news outlet reports exactly what and how much was involved and none of the major news outlets reported the corporate links it took me less than a half hour to drill down to.
... so sick of pushing a narrative by newsreaders rather than actually reporting some facts. Fox, NBC, CNN, ABC, all seem to be competing for how clueless they can be while virtue signaling an agenda.
