#1 Some more:

Investors in the deal had funneled $145 million into Secretary Clinton's family foundation. Its approval helped to give Russia a near-monopoly on global uranium production.

After investigative reporter and author Peter Schweizer broke the Uranium One story in 2015, a State Department under secretary, Jose Fernandez, took the blame. Fernandez later landed a "very rewarding" position at the Clinton-connected Center for American Progress. Fernandez has now come back through the revolving door and is a top official in the Biden State Department.

But Clinton's State Department was not the only Obama-Biden department that extended an advantage to Putin.

Eric Holder's Department of Justice swept Russian crimes under the rug — not wanting to disrupt the Russian reset. So, the Russian spy ring known as the "Illegals Program," which had penetrated the highest levels of American politics and finance, just went away. Biden said he did not want to create "a flap."

Other crimes committed by Putin's agents were downplayed as well. William Campbell, an American intelligence operative-turned-whistleblower, exposed multiple Russian bribery, kickbacks, and money-laundering conspiracies — all targeting the American nuclear industry.

Perhaps the worst of all the Obama-Biden-Clinton giveaways to Putin was known as the Skolkovo initiative. Skolkovo, in suburban Moscow, was the site of Russia's attempt to create its own Silicon Valley. The Clinton State Department heavily promoted the effort. As it happens, Clinton's Big Tech donors comprised 17 of the 28 American partners in Skolkovo.

In reality, Skolkovo was a cyber-warfare tech hub and a thinly-veiled cover for corporate espionage and military build-up.

#3 But, oh, no, we can't let Russia into NATO. We'll do everything BUT. Most everything.

"...when Clinton famously pushed a literal red "reset" button with her Russian counterpart."

Was that the embarrassing translation with Lavrov despite the countless Russian linguists in the DoS? Fooking clowns in D.C.
