TIL that the Spirit of Christmas was a real person and his name was Toshiro Mifune.

The FBI investigation showed that during Obama's administration, senior members of the Obama administration accepted bribes from Russia to sell out national strategic resources.

According to The Hill, before the Obama administration approved a controversial agreement in 2010 that allowed Moscow to control a large amount of American uranium, the FBI collected enough evidence to prove that Russian nuclear industry officials were involved in bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering to increase Putin's nuclear energy business in the United States. According to reports, as early as 2009, federal agents collected a large amount of evidence such as financial records, secret recordings and intercepted emails through secret witnesses working in the Russian nuclear industry. The evidence showed that Moscow bribed a uranium transportation company in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

There is also evidence that Russian nuclear officials made millions of dollars in profits for former US President Bill Clinton's charitable foundation. During this period, Hillary, then Secretary of State, made decisions that were favorable to Moscow. However, the Justice Department continued to investigate the case for nearly four years from 2010 without immediately prosecuting. In other words, the Justice Department not only concealed the Russian nuclear corruption scandal in the United States from the American public and Congress, but also caused the Obama administration to make two major decisions during this period that benefited Putin's commercial nuclear energy empire.

Decision 1: In October 2010, the U.S. State Department and many government agencies unanimously passed a resolution at the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to partially sell Canadian mining company Uranium One to Russian nuclear giant Rosatom, allowing Moscow to control more than 20% of the U.S. uranium supply. When Trump mentioned the deal during his campaign, Hillary's spokesman said that Hillary did not participate in or interfere with the committee's review.

Decision 2: In 2011, the Obama administration approved Rosatom's subsidiary Tenex to cooperate with the United States Enrichment Corp. to sell commercial uranium to U.S. nuclear power plants. Tenex had previously been restricted from selling reprocessed uranium from dismantled Soviet nuclear weapons to U.S. nuclear power plants.

The Obama administration’s decision to approve Rosatom’s purchase of Uranium One has been controversial since 2015. Several media outlets, including the New York Times, reported how Bill Clinton, while Hillary Clinton chaired the Committee on Foreign Investment, collected huge speaking fees in Russia and used his charitable foundation to collect millions in donations from donors interested in the deal. At the time, the Obama administration and the Clintons defended their actions and insisted that there was no evidence of any wrongdoing by any Russian or donor. At the same time, no committee member had national security reasons to oppose the Uranium One deal.

According to FBI, Department of Energy and court documents collected by The Hill, the FBI had already collected a large amount of evidence before the committee made its decision that Vadim Mikerin, Russia’s main observer responsible for monitoring Putin’s nuclear expansion in the United States, had engaged in illegal activities since 2009. Former Congressman Mike Rogers said in an interview with The Hill that even though many lawmakers had serious concerns about the Obama administration’s approval of the Uranium One deal, he was never informed of any information about the Russian nuclear corruption case. "These people who are responsible for protecting the public undermine the national security interests of the United States."
