Federal officials have serious questions about the credibility of a key witness in congressional investigations of Hillary Clintons role in the sale of a uranium-mining company to Russian interests, two sources knowledgeable about the case tell Yahoo News.
The witness, a Florida businessman and former FBI informant named William Douglas Campbell, was considered so unreliable that prosecutors dropped him as a witness in an unrelated case involving Russian uranium sales, according to the sources.

The investigations by two House subcommittees, apparently spurred by a tweet from President Trump last month, focus on allegations about Clintons role in approving the controversial sale of Uranium One, a company that owned American uranium mines, to Rosatom, the Russian atomic energy company, in 2010. Campbell has suggested he can prove that approval of the sale was a quid pro quo for donations by Russian-connected parties to the Clinton Foundation.
But there are mounting questions about Campbells credibility in light of his track record as an informant in a separate FBI investigation into a Russian businessman named Vadim Mikerin, who was in charge of U.S. operations for Tenex a separate unit of Rosatom that was not involved in the Uranium One purchase.
Court records and interviews with the sources who are familiar with the case indicate that Campbell provided key information to the FBI about a scheme orchestrated by Mikerin to collect kickbacks from American companies doing business with Tenex. The bureau enlisted Campbell as an undercover informant who wore a wire in his conversations with Russian officials.
But he proved a disaster as a potential witness in the case when doubts arose about his descriptions of some events that could not be documented, one of the sources said. As a result, prosecutors dropped extortion charges against Mikerin that relied on Campbells testimony. There was no question that [Campbells] credibility was such that [the prosecutors] had to restructure the case, the source said. He got cut out of the case entirely........................................

(4,533 posts)The alleged uranium One scandal presume Hillary sold out our Uranium to Russia. I know Uranium may not be exported without government approval. And more than that if we need that precious Uranium One ore Trump can just seize it back via eminent domain seizure rights. I guess Trump hasnt done that because hes a Rusky agent just like Hillary. But now Fox News is excited because a former FBI agent says he has proof of Russian bribery related to Uranium in America. But in this story The gol durn Ruskies bribed us to permit sales of Russian Uranium to American buyers. So they yell treason about the brain dead notion Uranium One ore will go from America to Russia. And then yell treason about just the opposite, Russian Uranium being sent to us.
They havent figured out the problem of claiming treason for going in and treason for going out at the same time.
