From the November 16 edition of Fox News' Hannity:

SEBASTIAN GORKA: Not only do we need it, there is legislation that is active today that says America should be absolutely self-sufficient on uranium. It is such a strategic asset that we must not rely upon anybody else.



And Hillary Clinton, as the chairman -- the chairman of that committee -- approved this deal. The question is, how far up the chain does this go? Does it go up to President Obama as well?
