Keystone pipeline can't get approved by State Department, but uranium deal sails through

The New York Times reports:

Major donors to the charitable endeavors of former President Bill Clinton and his family ... financed and eventually sold off to the Russians a company that would become known as Uranium One. ... Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Mr. Clinton’s wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Hmmm. Maybe the Canadian companies backing the Keystone pipeline just needed to give a donation to the Clinton Foundation.

Oh, my bad. The pipeline supporters already did!

Of course, the pipeline supporters are, IMHO, complete idiots for making these donations for the simple fact that there is a snowball's chance in hell that Clinton, once elected, would ever approve Keystone.

Or maybe they are brilliant, having grasped that their donations will help undermine support for Hillary within the Democratic Party, which will help elect a Republican candidate, who will approve the pipeline.
