Is there a Clinton Uranium One Scandal? Links and more links

Four solid sources with links about the new, improved right-wing scandal.  (Yes, I'm engaging in sarcasm.)  Though I haven't included any links from right-leaning sites, some of the sites I have linked to do include links to places like Sean Hannity and the National Review. 

So why are the Republicans starting this investigation now, just as Mueller is starting to get indictments?  My comment about this whole mess:

"Uranium One will be the big shiny object. It's confusing and complicated enough to fool people into thinking it is a big thing."

From Politifact updated a few days ago: What you need to know about Hillary Clinton, Russia, and uranium

From Forbes this week: Claims of Clinton-Russia Uranium Collusion Are A Real Empty Barrel

From Newsweek this week: The Hillary Clinton/ Russian Uranium One conspiracy theory doesn't make any sense.

From Snopes updated last week: Hillary Clinton Gave 20 Percent of United States' Uranium to Russia in Exchange for Clinton Foundation Donations?

Senator Dianne Feinstein found at Politico

Here's Feinstein's letter to Facebook (click to read)

Politico stated, "Feinstein sent five letters to key players, including one asking Facebook and Twitter for copies of advertising that Russian buyers aimed at the U.S."  Please click the above link to Politico for more information about this; please click the photo right above this read a copy of Feinstein's letter.

The Twitter Thread:

Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut welcomed her overture with this Twitter thread found HERE and reproduced below:

"I welcome Sen. Feinstein's letters - A vital step in investigation of obstruction of justice and Russian interference. The Judiciary Committee has a unique oversight role concerning the Department of Justice & FBI - potential targets of obstruction and interference by the President and others. 

The White House should turn over documents related to Trump/Comey interactions as well as docs related to Kushner contacts with foreign nationals.

We call on Facebook and Twitter to provide additional information on ads connected to Russian entities with Kremlin ties.

The American people deserve the truth about any collusion, obstruction of justice, and related wrongdoing that may have taken place - now."

How the GOP Will Manage "Synthetic Repeal" of ObamaCare, ACA

"Synthetic Repeal" of the ACA?  They will try anything.

A Tweet thread about the GOP plans for health care posted by Andy Slavitt* Thursday afternoon, October 5.  He talks about "synthetic repeal" of the ACA since all of the other attempts to repeal it have not passed.  I did correct some of Andy's tweets for "regular" non-140 character limits, but there were a few things that I couldn't quite understand.

Who is Andy Slavitt?  Info and links at the bottom.

Andy writes: 

"I am leaving four intense days in DC and I now have a very different theory of what's going on in Health care.  I will tweet soon. Follow if interested.

2/ The GOP is now trying to create what I call "synthetic repeal." Before I explain what that means let me tell you why this is happening.
