Background information was revealed by cable from Wikileaks which is believed to provide
details on a 2006 nuclear smuggling operation where the U.S. government took possession
of a 10-gram sampled of Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) believed to be previously owned by the
Russians.
According to the cable, over two years ago Russian officials requested a 10-gram sample
of HEU seized in early 2006 in Georgia during a nuclear smuggling sting operation involving
one Russian national and several Georgian accomplices.
The seized HEU was transferred to U.S. custody and was being held at a secure DOE facility.
According to a secret "action request" dated August 17, 2009, from then Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton, sent to the United States Ambassador to Georgia Embassy Tbilisi,
the Russian Embassy, and Ambassador John Beyrle, then FBI Director Robert Mueller was directed
to personally conduct the transfer of one 10-gram sample of HEU to Russian officials.
This was to take place in a clandestine plane-side meeting on a tarmac in the early fall of 2009.
According to the cable – "We require that the transfer of this material
be conducted at the airport, on the tarmac near by the plane, upon arrival of the Director's
aircraft."
Mueller originally scheduled the meeting to "return" the sample to Russian officials
from DOE custody in April of 2009 but the trip was postponed for unknown reasons until
September 21 of the same year.
The leaked cable confirmed Mueller's flight to Moscow on September 21 in paragraph 6.
"(S/Rel Russia) Action request: Embassy Moscow is requested to alert at the highest
appropriate level the Russian Federation that FBI Director Mueller plans to deliver the
HEU sample once he arrives to Moscow on September 21.
Post is requested to convey information in paragraph 5 with regard to chain of custody,
and to request details on Russian Federation's plan for picking up the material.
Embassy is also requested to reconfirm the April 16 understanding from the FSB verbally
that we will have no problem with the Russian Ministry of Aviation concerning Mueller's
September 21 flight clearance."
Rather reminiscent of the infamous Loretta Lynch/Bill Clinton meeting which occurred
on a Phoenix, Arizona, tarmac back in June of 2016 it seems.
Shady Washington politicians seem to have a penchant for conducting their less than
savory business dealings on tarmacs.
Also interesting to note, past dealings with the Russians are ALSO mentioned in the cable,
thus signifying that previous deals have taken place between the involved parties.
And for those questioning, this would be the very same Robert Mueller that is the current
special counsel appointed to investigate the so-called Russian ties of the Trump administration.
The very same Mueller that has been shown to have significant conflicts of interest
with regard to the integrity of his investigations including his close personal relationship
with ousted former FBI director James Comey.
Mueller has also stacked his team with attorneys that have given significant donations to the
Democratic National Committee.
One of which even did work for the Clinton Foundation.
The three attorneys were recruited from the Washington, D.C., law firm of WilmerHale to
assist Mueller's probe of Russia's interference in the presidential election and potential
collusion with Trump's political campaign.
Mueller worked at WilmerHale after retiring as director of the FBI.
The biggest donor among the lawyers was James Quarles, who donated more than $30,000 to
Democratic candidates and causes while in private practice, the records show.
A second lawyer, Andrew Weissmann, gave Barack Obama's campaign for president $2,300 in
2008, also while he was at a private law firm.
Lawyer Jeannie Rhee donated $5,400 to Hillary Clinton and $7,300 to President Obama.
Both of those donations were made while she was in private practice.
But in 2004, when she was a Justice Department lawyer, she donated $250 to the Democratic
National Committee, according to records compiled by opensecrets.org.
In a story headlined "Swamp Fights Back," Breitbart News reported that in 2004 Rhee
also did legal work for the Clinton Foundation.
Most federal prosecutors do not donate money to politicians while in government service
as a matter of course because it shows bias.
Yet, here we are still investigating the Trump administration for so-called Russian ties
when existing it seems a host of Washington officials are "in bed" with the Russians.
Project much?
