For decades, failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton have been accused of all sorts of illegal activities.
Some of Hillary’s harshest critics have spent years hoping for a federal indictment — and chanted “Lock her up!” at Donald Trump campaign rallies.
Now that Trump is in the White House and conservative hardliner Jeff Sessions has taken over as Attorney General, supporters have been wondering when the other shoe would drop on the Clinton cartel.
Trump, it seems, has been asking the same question.
Monday he took to social media to demand the House Intelligence Committee begin investigating Hillary’s heavily criticized uranium deal with Russia.
Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech….

The president is referring to several matters related to the Clinton Foundation — specifically, an allegation that Hillary illegally used her influence as secretary of state in a pay-to-play scheme with Russia.
Hillary signed off on a deal allowing Russia’s nuclear agency to buy 51 percent, a controlling share, of a Canadian firm that controlled approximately 20 percent of the known uranium in the United States.
Critics say it was in exchange for millions in donations to the controversial Clinton Foundation. According to The Washington Times, “Nine investors in the Canadian company, Uranium One, gave $145 million to the Clinton Foundation, though almost all of it was from a single individual who sold his stake in the company before the Russian purchase. According to The New York Times, less than $3 million came during the time the deal was being negotiated.”
The writers of the best-selling book, “Clinton Cash” created an animated advertisement describing the deal —
Because of privacy laws, there are few details readily available to the public on Hillary’s role in the deal.
However, most of the public agrees that what is available looks bad enough to warrant further investigation.
Should this federal investigation find Hillary did illegally give Russia a major control of the U.S. uranium deposits in exchange for millions in donations, like critics allege, it could mean jail time for Hillary.
Serious jail time.
