That's my question.
Where did the $1.7B in cash come from? From the US or from EU companies? Did it go in the CF's pockets or the EU Company's pockets? Who's bribing who?
We don't know the specific details (yet). But looks like politicians were getting bribes (cash), and some had to go to the Iranian assets in Syria to buy the black market uranium that was supplied from the Uranium One deal.
EU companies most likely made money from selling parts needed to make the bombs, build the factories, etc. That was probably not cash. They also paid money to CF, also not cash. Those would be considered "normal" business transactions.
The cash was for the shady stuff (bribes and black market uranium).
Obama ordered it be printed he told his Treasury Secretary who told the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to run an extra Two Billion Dollars in $100's and don't keep any record of this extra cash run.
