Man charged for fraud and other charges in Uranium One deal

Mark Lambert, 54, of Mount Airy, Maryland, was charged in an 11-count indictment with one count of conspiracy to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and to commit wire fraud, seven counts of violating the FCPA, two counts of wire fraud and one count of international promotion money laundering. The charges stem from an alleged scheme to bribe Vadim Mikerin, a Russian official at JSC Techsnabexport (TENEX), a subsidiary of Russia’s State Atomic Energy Corporation and the sole supplier and exporter of Russian Federation uranium and uranium enrichment services to nuclear power companies worldwide, in order to secure contracts with TENEX.

Interesting that it appears the DOJ is looking in to Uranium One.

This does not mean that Hillary or anyone else will be indicted.

But to me its a least a good sign that this DOJ is taking the matter seriously and charging people that acted in a criminal way.

Hopefully they will continue to investigate and charge all criminals involved.

A nobody from nowhere. Fall guy or first rung in the ladder?

And all along they wanted the public to believe the entire U1 deal was primm and proper.

Guess they thought Clinton was a shoe-in too.

From Reuters:

Prosecutors allege Lambert, former co-president of a Maryland-based shipping company Transport Logistics International (TLI), bribed a Russian energy official through a series of shell companies in Cyprus, Latvia and Switzerland in exchange for contracts to ship nuclear fuel to U.S. utilities.

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act makes it a crime for businesses to bribe overseas officials to win business.

TLI executives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

TLI:

Transport Logistics International, Inc. provides transportation management services to front-end and back-end sectors of the nuclear power industry. The company manages domestic and international movements of radioactive materials between North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.

Interesting:

Lambert, who owns Dragon Distillery in Frederick, is the former co-president, along with Daren Condrey, of a Maryland-based nuclear fuel transportation company. The company, referred to as Transportation Company A in the indictment, provided logistical support for transporting nuclear materials in the United States and to foreign clients.

The swamp just dropped another 2 feet. Imagine the indictments when donations to the Clinton Foundation start intermingling with this.

It looks like there were questions about their documentation:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted a responsive inspection of the export and import licensing program at the Transport Logistics International (TLI) Fulton, Maryland facility on May 16, 2012. The purpose of this inspection was to ensure that, following recently identified apparent violations associated with export licenses XSNM3649 and XSNM3704, TLI has sufficient management record keeping and procedural controls in place to ensure that exports are conducted in accordance with the requirements contained in 10 CFR Part 110, and in conformance with the terms and conditions of specified licenses.

A crime if you get caught, or need a scapegoat.

....and, of course, turn state's evidence on the higher-ups...

Genuinely curious, what does this have to do with the Uranium One deal?

You bet, read this, remember this guy is an executive for Transport Logistics:

Executives at the company, Transport Logistics International, kicked back about $2 million to the Russians in exchange for lucrative no-bid contracts — a scheme that violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the report said.

The feds also learned that Russian nuclear officials had gotten millions of dollars into the US designed to benefit the Clinton Foundation at the same time then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served on a government committee that signed off on the deals, sources told The Hill.

This leads right to the Clintons.

Lets take a look who served as an United States Attorney for the District of Maryland. Well this is awkward. Rod Rosenstein

Prior to his current appointment, he served as a United States Attorney for the District of Maryland. Rosenstein was a former nominee to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. At the time of his confirmation as Deputy Attorney General in April 2017, he was the nation's longest-serving U.S. attorney.[3]

In an otherwise innocuous FBI FOIA FILE Katica located a notice for preservation of documents sent by an FBI special agent to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on August 28th, 2015. What is interesting about the preservation request(s) are the recipients, their attachment to CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States), and the timeline of events surrounding the agent’s notification.
...
The first notification of a Clinton email problem stemmed from the discovery that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used her personal email (and server) to conduct official government business. Those initial revelations were discovered around March of 2015. [New York Times, March 2nd]

Sometime around August 3rd, 2015, we discovered the FBI inquiry was actually a “criminal probe“. [USA Today August 4th] – [Washington Post August 3rd] – [New York Post, August 5th, 2015] The media reporting in early August of 2015 showed the FBI investigation was actually a criminal probe. The dates here are important.

The discovery by Katica shows that on August 28th, 2015, an FBI special agent sent a notification to preserve records to: •Nuclear Regulatory Commission; •The U.S. Dept. of Treasury; •Office of Director of National Intelligence (ODNI James Clapper); •The National Counter Terrorism Center; and the •U.S. Department of Energy (DoE).
...
Taken in their totality those FBI special agent notifications now encompassed every member of the CFIUS group who “signed off” on approval of the Uranium One deal.

Emphasis mine.

Uranium One was totally legit guys. Trust us there was no conspiracy. You are all insane and you smell funny. Feels good to be one of the good guys.

Lambert here is indicted for working with the point man for Russian nuclear ambitions in the US, a guy named Mikerin to commit fraud.

Mikerin was already charged in 2015 with fraud, and as the point man for russsia on this would have been involved with the transportation of uranium in the U1 deal.

The informant that has recently testified said that he witnessed Mikerin and others offering huge bribes of money for the U1 deal.

So basically this guy from this indictment is being charged with helping the guy committ fraud in the U1 deal.
