Do you really think that Obama would investigate this on his own and decide against the recommendation of pretty much all of his cabinet?

Here are the members of the committee as listed on the Treasury Department website:
Department of the Treasury (Chair)
Department of Justice
Department of Homeland Security
Department of Commerce
Department of Defense
Department of State
Department of Energy
Office of US Trade Representative
Office of Science and Technology Policy

Actually, that web site says that the members are the heads of those agencies.

It is important to note that Hillary Clinton did not personally participate in discussions of this matter. Then-Assistant Secretary of State Jose Fernandez, whose job it was to represent the State Dept. on CFIUS, said Clinton herself “never intervened” in committee*matters.

In the first quote above, you said that Hillary sat on the committee, now you say she wasn't involved. Do you seriously expect us to believe that Hillary would delegate her authority to a subordinate without instruction, direction, or supervision? The woman is a micro-manager.

It is also false that Russia controls 20% of our Uranium stockpile. It controls the company that owns 20%-if that is an accurate number. But even that company does not control the Uranium. It can not ship it out of the country. And it must follow strict guidelines and regulations in handling the Uranium.

What difference does it make how much they control? This is like Harvey Weinstein saying that he didn't molest nearly as many women as he is accused of. The point is that the deal required government approval, that Hillary had a role in that approval, that there was a lot of shady money passed around, and that the foxes were guarding the hen house. And it was a whole gang of foxes, by the way, including Holder, Mueller, and Rosenstein.
And as we know from at least as far back as Watergate, the cover-up is usually a bigger deal than the deed.
