WIKILEAKS DROPS BOMBSHELL THAT SHOULD END THE WITCH
HUNT, By 2/21/19.
This got buried but it’s been dug up!
Apparently, according to Wikileaks, Mueller HAND DELIVERED the Uranium to the
Russians! What?! This got buried but it’s been dug up!
2009 AMBASSADOR BEYRLE E-MAIL D. 08 MOSCOW 521, Classified By: EUR/PRA:
KATHLEEN MORENSKI PER E.O. 12958: REASONS 1.4 (A) AND (G).
1. (SBU)
This is an action request: Embassy Moscow please see para 6 and 7; and Embassy
Tbilisi please see para 8.
2. (S/NF)
Background: Over two years ago Russia requested a ten-gram sample of highly
enriched uranium (HEU) seized in early 2006 in Georgia during a nuclear smuggling
sting operation involving one Russian national and several Georgian
accomplices. The seized HEU was transferred to U.S. custody and is being held
at a secure DOE facility. In response to the Russian request, the Georgian
Government authorized the United States to share a sample of the material with
the Russians for forensic analysis. Director Mueller previously planned to
deliver the sample in April (Ref A), but due to a scheduling conflict the trip
was canceled. Embassy Moscow LegAtt informed the FSB prior to Mueller’s
intended April delivery and received confirmation that the FSB would take
custody of the sample after the Director’s plane landed. EST Moscow also
informed Rosatom of the planned transfer and that the U.S. placed a high
priority on completing this transfer (Ref B). Once the LegAtt told FSB
counterparts the April trip had been canceled, Ambassador Beyrle informed Igor
Neverov (Ref C),
who said
that he understood but was disappointed the trip was postponed. The September
21 visit provides again an opportunity to deliver the requested ten-gram sample
from the seized HEU in order to obtain cooperation from the GOR on this nuclear
smuggling case and to eventually establish a more productive mechanism of
U.S.-Russian cooperation on nuclear forensics.

While there was a reasonable exchange of information with Russian security
services at the time of the 2006 seizure, we have had poor cooperation
investigating the diversion of HEU, which the United States believes was stolen
from a Russian facility. Russia did not respond to papers that then Acting U/S
Rood provided Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov in December 2008 reiterating the
USG position that Russia should pick up this sample in the United States.
Further, when asked for an update on their response to our proposal, Ryabkov
told us in early 2009 in Washington that there was an interagency dispute over
who would come and pick up the material.
4. (S/NF)
Given Russia’s reluctance to act so far, FBI Mueller’s delivery of this sample
will underscore to Russia our commitment to follow through on this case. While
some details related to the sharing of information on smuggling networks may be
too sensitive to discuss, delivery of the sample could enable us to discuss
whether Russian authorities investigated the diversion and prosecuted anyone.
Moreover, we hope it will spark discussions on mechanisms to exchange
information and material on future incidents of this nature, particularly in
light of the commitments made in the July summit U.S.-Russia Joint Statement on
Nuclear Cooperation regarding strengthening our cooperation to stop acts of
nuclear terrorism. Posts should note that DOE/NNSA’s April 2009 determination
authorizing distribution of the sample to the Russian Federation only for
attribution of the sample in support of a criminal investigation is applicable
to the proposed September 21 delivery of the sample to Russia.
5. (S/Rel
Russia) Background con’t: On April 16, the FSB verbally confirmed to Legatt that we will have
no problem with the Russian Ministry of Aviation concerning Mueller’s flight
(although we probably won’t see paperwork until shortly before the trip). The
FBI is requiring that the sample be turned over to a Russian law enforcement
authority (i.e., FSB) as opposed to an intelligence service (i.e., SVR) or
technical authority (i.e., Rosatom). A representative from the responsible Russian
Law Enforcement authority, who will accept custody of the sample, must be
identified and verified ahead of time. That individual will be required to have
signatory authority to accept the sample. Appropriate arrangements need to be
made to ensure the transfer of material is conducted at the airport,
plane-side, upon arrival of the Director’s aircraft. Post should also remind
the GOR that this is the material about which the GOR gave the USG
nonproliferation assurances in 2008 in a diplomatic note from February 2008
(Ref D).
Lock’em all up and throw away the
key! The Deep State gets even deeper. Do you think that Robert Mueller needs to
answer for this?
