Feds Get First Indictment in 'Uranium One' Scandal — Hillary is Freaking Out!

According to the indictment, Mark Lambert operated a Maryland-based transportation company

and is "charged with 11 counts of money laundering and wire fraud."

The court document details how Lambert purportedly communicated the payment of bribes to Russian

officials by using code words like "lucky figures," "lucky numbers" and "cake."

While the Russian officials are not named in the reports, a previous article by The

Hill in October identifies Vadim Mikerin, CEO of the Rosatom subsidiary Tenex, in a

2014 indictment as "knowingly and willfully combine, conspire confederate and agree with

other persons … to obstruct, delay and affect commerce and the movement of an article and

commodity (enriched uranium) in commerce by extortion," between 2009 and 2012.

An agent from the Department of Energy who was in on the investigation into Mikerin told

The Hill, "As part of the scheme, Mikerin, with the consent of higher level officials

at TENEX and Rosatom (both Russian state-owned entities) would offer no-bid contracts to

US businesses in exchange for kickbacks in the form of money payments made to some offshore

banks accounts."

Back in 2010, as the Uranium One deal was getting ready for U.S. approval, Obama's

Nuclear Regulatory Commission promised Congress that no uranium purchased by Rosatom or its

subsidiaries would leave the country.

Hillary's State Department would push for and give approval for the deal in 2011.

The ink was not even dry on the deal, before Mikerin hired Lambert's company to haul

the uranium from Tenex's facilities to ports in the United States, where they then ended

up overseas.

The Hill quotes Senator Chuck Grassley in November 2017 as saying, "It now appears

that despite pledges to the contrary, U.S. uranium made its way overseas as a part of

the Uranium One deal.

What's more disturbing, those transactions were apparently made possible by various Obama

Administration agencies while the Democrat-controlled Congress turned a blind eye."

It can be argued that the Democrats could not have turned a blind eye, because they

needed to see that they bribe money was going where it was intended to go…into Hillary

and Bills pockets for starters.

Is this the season where Calum Chambers finally kicks on at Arsenal? - Duration: 7:17.

When a new manager walks into a club, fear can take over players as they look to desperately impress instead of facing the axe

After years of working under the same boss at Arsenal in Arsene Wenger, many of the squad became far too comfortable knowing that their place wasn't under threat

However, for certain stars, including youngsters like Calum Chambers, a lack of game time has become an issue and even under Wenger, it was too hard to predict whether he had a future at the club and even more so under their new boss

But under Unai Emery - and at the end of Wenger's 22-year reign - it now appears that Chambers has been given a fresh start to display the huge potential he arrived with back in the summer of 2014 from Southampton

Over a month after Emery was announced as Gunners boss, 23-year-old Chambers signed a new long-term Arsenal contract and the Englishman will be thankful and motivated by the faith the Spaniard has showed in him

On the announcement of Chambers' new deal, Emery was very pleased to keep him on board: 'I'm delighted Calum has extended his stay with us

He played an important role last season and will be part of my plans this season.' After being sent out on loan to Middlesbrough during the 2016-17 season, his Arsenal prospects seemed bleak but last year provided Chambers with a chance to prove his worth

Chambers, who has won three caps for England, featured 24 times last campaign for Arsenal - playing a large part in their run to the Europa League semi-finals and impressing at the end of the Premier League season alongside Konstantinos Mavropanos

Now former Paris Saint-Germain boss Emery has been putting his players through their paces at London Colney, as he looks to find his ideal squad ahead of his debut season in England

And Emery's fresh and exciting era at Arsenal finally got underway with their annual friendly against Boreham Wood in July

Arsenal thrashed the National League side 8-0, with Emery deploying the majority of his squad, including the youngsters looking to burst onto the scene, such as Reiss Nelson, Eddie Nketiah and Jeff Reine-Adelaide

But perhaps the most intriguing element to have come out of the pre-season friendly, was Emery's use of Chambers as a defensive midfielder instead of a centre back in the second half

He was previously deployed in that role, sparingly during the 2015-16 season, and twice off the bench last season

And it appears Chambers is excited about the prospect of playing there in the future and clearly has the trust of his new manager to show off his abilities in an unnatural position

'The manager spoke to me about the position,' Chambers told the club's official website

'It's a new one for me.I played there a little bit growing up.It's a position I feel like I can grow to enjoy and out there today I felt good, I just need to train and practise in games in that position to get comfortable

' Whether Chambers actually plays in the defensive midfield role remains to be seen but it's clear that he has a future at the Emirates

When Chambers signed for Arsenal as a 19-year-old, the Gunners faithful were excited about what the future held for him, after shining against Crystal Palace and Besiktas in the Champions League qualifier's during his opening matches for the club in the heart of the defence

But his Arsenal career has not hit the heights the Arsenal fans had hoped it would and he was heavily linked with moves away last season - Crystal Palace and Watford among those interested

But now after receiving the trust of Emery, it's now time for him to really kick on and cement a place within the Arsenal squad with Per Mertesacker now retired and an injury-struck Laurent Koscielny slowly coming to the end of his career

Emery has been giving Chambers tutorials at their London Colney training base and was seen having a one-to-one chat with the defender on the sidelines at Boreham Wood

The Spaniard clearly views Chambers as an important member of his squad going forward but it will be very interesting to see how he is deployed during the 2018-19 season

While he played in midfield on the weekend, don't expect to see him playing their next campaign, with Granit Xhaka soon to be arriving back following his World Cup duties and Lucas Torreira just signing from Sampdoria

Meanwhile, Chambers shone with Mavropanos at the back end of the season and they are seen as the future of Arsenal's central defence, alongside his fellow Englishman Rob Holding

But with the signing of Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Chambers will very much have his work cut out to cement a starting spot

With Emery looking for a successful campaign - hoping to qualify for next season's Champions League at the first time of asking - it is likely the new boss will start with experience rather than talent

Experienced Greek defender Sokratis will likely play alongside Shkodran Mustafi in the heart of defence, despite the latter having been linked with a move to Juventus and struggling for form last season as Arsenal finished sixth

But this shouldn't deter Chambers as he will get chances this coming campaign.With Arsenal competing in the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup, the 23-year-old will have plenty of time to prove to Emery of his worth

And if Chambers impresses, who knows, he could well push Mustafi and Sokratis all the way for a starting spot and maybe usurp them as the season goes on

Arsenal and Emery see Chambers as an asset and alongside Mavropanos and Holding, the trio can be the future in North London

Remember, Chambers is only 23 and has the best years ahead of him.There is plenty of time to bed him in to Arsenal's starting XI and Emery will reassure him of that

Why #TakeTheMaskOff is Important - Duration: 4:52.

Hi everyone

So. . . This next few weeks I am participating in

The take the mask off campaign, #takethemaskoff all over social media - Twitter, Facebook,

YouTube - it's everywhere. It's everywhere. It's a great

hashtag and a great campaign and I . . .

There's a lot of noises in the background. I hope that's not too distracting to you. It's distracting to me

All the noises all the noises anyway

the campaign

You know

I want to talk about why I

feel like this campaign is so important and why I want to be part of the campaign and just what I hope to

Share and encourage by being a part of this campaign

So take the mask off is encouraging autistic people to

Not be ashamed of who they are and just be themselves

And just really go out there and say look this is me. This is the authentic me and I am not ashamed

And that's just really really

Wonderful to me I think it is so

important and

I wish

So strongly

that

Everyone, you know autistic or not would have the

Self-esteem and the confidence and the courage

to

Go out into the world and just be

Real and be authentic and be themselves and you know, this this can

You know be hard sometimes and it can take courage

But I really think that

you know being yourself and being real and

Um. . .

Just - just being in your natural state of being

is

really important to your mental health, but in general this is this is humanity wide true this that you know,

Being in-genuine is hard on

Your just you know just

It's not healthy. It's not healthy. It's not

It's it's problematic for a lot of reasons and you know a lot a lot of those reasons are your own mental health?

but then also, you know when you're

You're masking and you're not being

Genuine and you're hiding yourself and you're ashamed of yourself

You know all your relationships also suffer from that because you're building relationships

That are in a way a little bit inauthentic too

Because you know the people

you're interacting with don't get to see who you really are or how you really are and

People are missing out on the real you when you're suppressing that and not showing that to the world

And I just hope that as we

Continue with this campaign over the next

few weeks

We all talk about taking the mask off and we all work to take the mask off and I realize some of us

you know have been asking for a really long time some of us have

had a mask on for a really long time and I didn't even realize we were doing it or we were masking

But you know

I hope we can start to unpack that and start to take that off and start to

Heal and recover from that damage and just learn to be comfortable in our own skin

over the next few weeks together

So those are just some thoughts and some goals and wishes in - take the mask off campaign guys

- talk to you later guys. - This thing spins forever!!!

This is from WeFidget - It's metal, it's shiny, it's quiet, it's portable. I love this thing!

Let's #TakeTheMaskOff! - Bye guys, I'll talk to you next week.
