The Australian Diplomat - Alexander Downer, the Clintons and the Russians Source: The Australian Diplomat Back in 2006 Alexander sat down with former US President Bill Clinton to sign a Clinton Foundation funding agreement (photo) that would give millions in Australian tax payer dollars to the Clinton Foundation under the guise of the “Cooperation in the fight against HIV and AIDS in The Peoples Republic of China, The Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Papua New Guinea, and other Territories of Mutual Interest”  The ultimate sum of tax dollars sent to the foundation reached upwards of $88 million by 2014. The largest of these donations took place between the years of 2012 and 2013, the importance of those dates will soon be clear. Coincidentally the FBI is currently working with former Australian police officer and current investigative journalist, Michael Smith, to determine the legitimacy of these donations. Shortly after the agreement signed with Bill and the Clinton foundation, Alex finalized a deal with Russia on a co-operative agreement to supply Russia with Australian uranium for processing and ultimately to be used in their power plants. The Russian working with Mr. Downer on this agreement was Sergey Kiriyenko, head of Rosatom, the parent company of Uranium 1. At the time, this agreement that was signed was only that, an agreement. It is not for a few more years that we are going to see any real action on this deal between Russia, Uranium 1, and Australia. For a full break down of the Clinton/Uranium 1 connection please check out this Andrew McCarthy piece from the National Review. It breaks the whole thing down in greater detail. http://www.nationalreview.com/article/452972/uranium-one-deal-obama-administration-doj-hillary-clinton-racketeering In 2011 Australia officially announced the opening of their latest uranium mine, Honeymoon Well, which at the time is owned by Rosatom’s Uranium 1 and Japan based Mitsui. After two years Uranium 1 took over 100% ownership of Honeymoon before suspending all activity in late 2013 and completely selling the mine off in 2015. Now, it is important to note that Alexander did in fact retire from his position of Foreign Affairs Minister shortly after signing both the Clinton Foundation funding agreement and the Russian uranium deal, but these two pacts appear to have gotten Australia involved in what’s developing into one of the largest scandals in US history. Was Downer involved in a Clinton pay to play scheme to bring in a Clinton connected Uranium firm? We can only speculate at this point, however the evidence is extremely compelling. It could of course be a coincidence that the largest payments from Australia to the Clinton Foundation were during the peak years of the Honeymoon mine operation but either way, with all of this, it seems pretty clear that Alexander Downer is not just an Australian Diplomat who, in part, helped fuel the Trump/Russia investigation. It is almost as if his past connections may have put him in that bar with George on that night in May of 2016.
