FBI’s 37 secret pages of memos about Russia, Clintons and Uranium One

Eight years after its informant uncovered criminal wrongdoing inside Russia’s nuclear industry, the FBI has identified 37 pages of documents that might reveal what agents told the Obama administration, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and others about the controversial Uranium One deal.
There’s just one problem: The FBI claims it must keep the memos secret from the public.
Their excuses for the veil of nondisclosure range from protecting national security and law enforcement techniques to guarding the privacy of individual Americans and the ability of agencies to communicate with each other.
Sound familiar?
It’s a lot like the initial reasons the bureau was reluctant to turn over documents in the Russia collusion investigation, such as FBI official Peter Strzok’s “stop Trump†texts or the revelation that Clinton and the Democrats funded the Steele dossier.
The FBI’s declaration and list of withheld documents — entitled simply “Uranium One Transaction†— were posted recently inside its Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) online vault.
