4/30/2015 9:21:14 AM  Noah Rothman
32 Comments

When the sleazy connections surrounding the Uranium One/Rosatom deal and the Clintons first emerged, the Clinton Foundation chose a very odd hill to defend — the privacy of the donors of the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership. Frank Giustra had

Via the Daily Caller, I cannot believe that not only is this moronic issue a minor media preoccupation as an American city burns but that the first black president is actually being concern-trolled about racial insensitivity for daring to use the word
