Uranium One deal looks like a whole can of worms about to open up.

To my understanding, the uranium deal was a deal for a Russian company to take a controlling interest in a U.S. uranium extraction company. The company handles about 20% of the U.S. uranium extraction. The deal was approved because because it only involved the extraction of uranium and not the export of it (i.e. no uranium was shipped to Russia).

The announced Congressional inquiries are whether the Russian company was under an FBI probe at the time of the deal. And that, to me, seems like the type of thing you learn from a request for information from the agency rather than a horse and pony show.

Sounds like deflection to me.
