Former NSA analyst wants Clinton to explain Kremlin connection

A former analyst for the National Security Agency is calling on Hillary Clinton to explain the emerging details of her campaign chief's connection to the Kremlin.

Lobbying forms made public last month indicate that the U.S. branch of the Russian bank Sberbank has retained the Podesta Group, a Washington-based lobbying firm founded by Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, and his brother, Tony, in 1998.

John Schindler, a security expert and former counterintelligence officer, notes that the bank's majority stockholder is the Russian Central Bank, which controls more than 30 percent of the country's banking assets.

Clinton is a liar who has sold out our country. She should be in prison for treason.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It’s none of your business, Comrade.

Hillary’s got a lot of splaining to do. There’s an increasing din of point, counterpoint in the media of people defending her and attacking her over the emails.

The exposure of the corruption is just starting in the media. When that’s tied to the private server things will heat up. Here’s hoping Sanders starts asking questions. The Sherbank connection surfaced at the right time for Sanders to ask some excellent questions to improve his standing in NY.

Even though you’re a communist dirt bag, you can still do something good for your country, Sanders.

The NYT report WRT the sell-off of strategic US uranium assets to Russia noted that the uranium investors also donated to the Clinton Foundation, as follows:

<><> Canadian Frank Giustra—globe-trotting pal of Bill-—donated $31.3 million and a pledge for $100 million more to the Clinton Foundation. Giustra built a company that later merged with Uranium One. Seems to have facilitated the uranium sell-off. (more on Giustra below)

<><> Canadian Ian Telfer—donated $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation. Mining investor who was chairman of Uranium One when an arm of the Russian government, Rosatom, acquired it.

<><>Paul Reynolds—donated $1 million to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation Adviser on 2007 UrAsia-Uranium One merger. Later helped raise $260 million for the company.

<><>Frank Holmes-—donated $250,000 to $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Chief Executive of U.S. Global Investors Inc., which held $4.7 million in Uranium One shares in the first quarter of 2011.

<><> Canadian Neil Woodyer-—Founded Endeavour Mining with Giustra—donated $50,000 to $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Adviser to Uranium One.

<><> GMP Securities Ltd.-—Donating portion of profits to the Clinton Foundation. Worked on debt issue that raised $260 million for Uranium One. (could also be the money-laundering apparat)

===========================================

As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation. Uranium One chairman used his family foundation to make four donations totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.

And shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Mr. Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.

At the time, both Rosatom and the United States government made promises intended to ease concerns about ceding control of company assets to the Russians. Those promises have been repeatedly broken, records show. (hat tip amorphous)

============================================

The NY Times reported the "Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership" collected about $33 million US tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept between 2008 and 2013.....$25 million of which was passed back across the border to the US-based Clinton Foundation.

Giustra then pledged $100 million to the Foundation after Clinton helped him clinch the mega-bucks uranium deal.

ITEM---millions of dollars and 1,100 donors are shrouded in mystery in the Canadian Giustra/Clinton operation. The Clinton Foundation signed a memorandum of understanding with the Obama White House agreeing to reveal its contributors every year. The agreement stipulates that the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative (as the charity was then-known) is part of the Clinton Foundation and must follow the same protocols.

SURPRISE: It hasnt.

Caught w/ his pants down, Giustra/s backtracking like crazy---saying Canadas federal privacy law forbids the Canadian-registered Clinton charity, from revealing its donors.

A memo he provided news organs cites fiduciary obligations to its contributors and Canada’s Personal Information Privacy and Electronic Disclosure Act. “We are not allowed to disclose even to the Clinton Foundation the names of our donors,” Giustra says.

However, Canadian tax and privacy law experts were dubious of the Clinton/Giustra claims. A former director knowledgeable about tax policy at Canada's Department of Finance, said he wasnt aware of any tax laws that would prevent the Clinton charity from releasing its donor names. QUOTE There's nothing that would preclude them from releasing donor names. It's entirely up to them.

Hillary and Frank Giustra, left.

=============================================

Hes a mining mogul......he facilitated the takeover of US uranium assets.... he received tax dollars from Hillary's State Dept.

Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra is one of the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors. Giustra's $100 million contributions go directly:

<><> (1) to the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation, and,

<><> (2) to the Canada-based "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership."

The "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership" in turn sends money to the Clinton Foundation...(according to Canadian tax records researched by "Clinton Cash" author Schweizer).

Great post.

Thanks.

Thanks for posting that!

Maybe Bill knows about the Kremlin connection?

PIC Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin.

" Hahahaha. No problem, Vlad. I'll get Hillary and Podesta to front for you."

[Rurudyne]

Fannie and Freddie are considered “independent” too ... don’t look for any Democrat or many “moderate” Republicans to see Sberbank as an arm of the Kremlin.

[meatloaf]

That’s not the only “deal” the Clinton’s racketeering scooped up. Their foundations took in billions. That’s a lot of quid pro quo. There was a reason Hillary wanted, no needed a private server. It was for the racket she was running as SoS.

When the FBI got the server and the info from Guccifer, they have the evidence of a criminal enterprise. Obama tried to excuse the classified email exposure as negligence. He’s going to have to go into tornadic spin mode to have any chance of explaining Hillary’s racketeering in his shift. It’s not going to work. Obama has grabbed the tar baby.

[Rurudyne]

And put near every Democrat will grab on too as they circle the wagons yet again.

[meatloaf]

They’ve been circling the wagons. What they’re circling is an unimaginable stench of corruption that can’t be covered up.

Obama will regret grabbing the tar baby.

[FlingWingFlyer]

“Well, I found this “Reset” button in the bargain bin at Toys ‘R’ Us...”

[meatloaf]

When she finally snaps she can press that reset button as long as she wants when she’s locked up in a padded cell.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The Fix is In.

Obama tipped his hand Sunday. They are going to drag the investigation out past the election, and then she will be rolled into Pardonmageddon on January 19.

[meatloaf]

Obama also showed us he has no idea of the extent the Clinton’s racketeering. Like I said earlier Obama grabbed the tar baby. Hopefully Sanders can man up and start asking about the racketeering like the good commie he is. Hillary’s vulnerable. Just put the questions out there. Trump may jump in before the commie when he smells the blood in the water.

There’s a very outside chance that instead of being asked to step away from the race for medical reasons, Obama may have to deal with Hillary. Whether he goes the special prosecutor route to humor the FBI, or go all in with charges remains to be seen. Either way Hillary is dead meat. The media won’t be able to resist the blood in the water either. Once one of them notices and reports on it, the rest will have to respond.
