Uranium 1 groundwork was laid in Khazakstan. Clinton - Giustra - Khazak government. Problematic relationships were solved when Clinton/Giustra went to the country and Clinton spoke glowingly of their corrupt, authoritarian president. That endorsement by such a globally-respected person was the "get" for the corrupt government, and Giustra got the access needed. . . then the Clintons got a boatload of cash.

"In 2005, then-Sen. Hillary Clinton cancelled meetings with Kazakh officials in an apparent attempt to force the country to approve a lucrative uranium mining deal that would benefit a Clinton associate, a Kazakh energy executive said in a 2009 interview. . . .

But the deal was secured in Sept. 2005 after Giustra and Clinton flew to Kazakhstan on Giustra’s private jet. There, Clinton met with Kazakhstan’s president, Nursultan Nazarbayev. Clinton spoke glowingly in public about the authoritarian Nazarbayev, and days later, the uranium deal was approved."
