1. Trump can take back the Wyoming mine with eminent domain but hasnt

In 2016 this mine produced 23 tons of Uranium, 2% of US production. Domestic Russian production in 2015 was 3055 tons. The idea Russia bribed to increase their production a fraction of one percent seems implausible. The idea this deprives us of a critical mineral is dumb because if it is critical we can just seize it with eminent domain. And the theory is that donations to the Clinton Foundation are bribes. Page 7 of the online annual forms 990 show no one named Clinton has ever been paid even one cent by the Foundation. The paid preparersof form 990 are cpa firms which audit the books of the foundation. These firms get rich because big corporations hire them. If they get caught lying about the carefully scrutinized Clinton Foundation then IBM, Apple etc will fire them. Because investors will not believe reported profits if the CPA firm lies. So the preparers of forms 990 have massive economic incentive to be truthful when they say no one named Clinton has ever been paid even a penny. So how can a donation be a bribe if the money does not go to anyone named Clinton? Uranium One is one brain dead conspiracy theory.
