This was followed by the Uranium One deal that allowed the Russians to acquire control of one-fifth of America\u2019s uranium.

He sums it up very well:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>It is certainly the most overblown story in a long time. The casual reader of newspaper headlines might well believe that the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Government of Russia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Government_of_Russia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Russian government<\/a> hacked into voting machines, or something of the sort, to influence the presidential election.
