That story was shown to be total fabrication by Breitbart (and others). What actually occurred was that a Canadian mining company with licence to mine uranium in the USA sold some of those rights to a Russian mining company. The mine in question had the capacity to produce 20% of the uranium mined in the US. The US, however, imports far more uranium than it mines domestically, so the sale would have negligible impact on US uranium stocks.
Nine separate sections of the US government, including the one that Hilary Clinton lead, had the capacity to veto the deal, but none advised against it. This was due to the fact that it would be impossible and illegal to block a deal between two companies from foreign nations.
So, Hilary sold nothing to anyone, gained nothing from a deal between two foreign companies, and Britbart somehow managed to spin the story and dozens of right wing websites repeated it. How did you come by the story?

The Russia dossier story IS the biggest US political story of the week. It's far bigger than Jeff Flake and Bob Corker ripping Trump, which the BBC made two videos for. Both videos present Flake and Corker's comments with no right of reply from Trump or anyone representing him. That's basic journalism!

The DNC lied about the dossier and were involved with the sources from the Russian government. There have been multiple stories reported by the BBC's YouTube page about Trump's involvement with Russia over many, many months, including the fake news about the golden shower in the hotel room – so why not report on this?

There were multiple stories from the BBC on Trump Junior meeting Russian officials too. How is it not important to report that the Russia collusion might actually be with the Democrats instead? Why not report it and let the people decide. Any US political party colluding with a foreign govt, especially Russia of all countries is a big, big deal. But the BBC has blocked this on their YouTube page.

Trump's rhetoric on locking up Hillary was clearly done to get his crowds going during the election. And make no mistake, Hillary is very lucky because anyone else would have been jailed for her conduct over the emails.

I cannot believe you think Hillary allegedly getting paid millions from a Russian company after signing off the uranium deal, Bill getting 500k for a speech and an investigation into it is not big news! Just because the Republicans have started the probe, ah that means it's nothing! Do you realise how corrupt the Clinton Foundation is? Probably not as it's never mentioned on UK media outlets!

Funnily enough, the BBC interviewed Hillary to promote her book last week and chatted with her about Weinstein. If she's not in office, and stories about her are not newsworthy, then why is this?

The BBC is biased against Trump and staunchly pro Democrat. Again, go on its YouTube page and count up the positive stories on Trump and Hillary/Obama going back before his election even. The facts are there. I feel the BBC has done its job as your comments show how brainwashed you have become by the MSM.

So, the Russia dossier, started life as opposition research by a Republican opponent of Trump in the primary, and was dropped when Trump won the nomination. A Democratic fund raiser picked up the ball and ran with it. Why is this a big deal?

So far, while investigating the claims in the dossier, the FBI has failed to debunk anything but has actually confirmed quite a great deal of what is in there. This is not surprising as they have gone for the low hanging fruit first, so it remains to be seen what else will prove out or be debunked.

Meanwhile, Trump Jr. took a meeting with Russian spies on the promise of receiving "dirt" on Clinton. The Trump campaign's defense of this: "Who wouldn't?" Exactly. Why is it scream-from-the-rooftops bad that the Clinton campaign wanted a dossier on Trump but it's no big deal that Trump's campaign wanted the same on Clinton?

It does strike me as odd that the US would be selling uranium to anyone outside of NATO. But its a nothing story first time around, that's just been wacked up from the weeds to try to distract from the kind of s**t the POTUS seems to regularly kick up (Notably I think Flake and Corker, on top of McCain that's a growing concern for the republican party - its not like these guys are liberals, or even democrat leaning Republicans).
