Clinton spoke on Saturday at OZY Fest in Central Park where she was interviewed by the digital magazine's investor Laurene Jobs. 'The great mystery is why the president has not spoken up for our country,' Clinton said. 'We saw that most clearly in this most recent meeting with Putin. We don't know what was said in the room with just the two of them.' She also implied that Trump was a patsy getting played by Putin.
Clinton admitted she didn't get along with Putin when she was secretary of state. 'To be fair, hardly anyone who believes in freedom gets along with him because he is always trying to intimidate and dominate and direct how people and nations behave,' she said.
For his part, Trump said that Obama, under whom Clinton served as secretary of state, was the true 'patsy' in Russian relations. 'Look at all the things that I have done. Nobody else did what I have done,' Trump told CNBC. 'Obama didn't do it. Obama was a patsy for Russia. He was a total patsy.'

Lawmakers failed to seize on an alarming development in the Russia collusion story last week, one that should spark serious and immediate congressional inquiry.
But it didnt involve President Trump or his administration.
During a heated Fox Business interview with Maria Bartiromo, Hillary Clintons former campaign chief John Podesta made a series of misleading statements when questioned about his involvement in a company that received $35 million from the Russian government while Clinton served as secretary of state.
On Jan. 18, 2011, a small green-energy company named Joule Unlimited announced Podestas appointment to its board. Months later, Rusnano, a Kremlin-backed investment fund founded by Vladimir Putin, pumped $35 million into Joule. Serving alongside Podesta on Joules board were senior Russian official Anatoly Chubais and oligarch Ruben Vardanyan, who has been appointed by Putin to a Russian economic modernization council.
Bartiromo asked Podesta why he failed to disclose his role in Joule as required by law when he entered the White House in January 2014 to serve as counselor to President Barack Obama.
Maria, thats not true. I fully disclosed and was completely compliant, Podesta shot back.
But according to his own financial disclosure form, Podesta only listed two of the three entities that made up Joule Unlimited, failing to disclose his presence on the board of the Dutch-registered Stichting Joule Global Foundation.
When Bartiromo pressed Podesta on the whereabouts of his 75,000 shares of Joule stock, Podesta resorted to Clintonesque semantics: I didnt have any stock in any Russian company!
Notice the rhetorical sleight of tongue there: Joule is based in Massachusetts, not Russia, making Podestas statement technically true. Podesta added: And by the way, I divested before I went into the White House.
Yet again, its not that simple. WikiLeaks documents reveal that when he joined the Obama White House, Podesta transferred his Joule shares to an LLC controlled by his adult children. He also resumed communicating with Joule and Joule investors after leaving the White House and joining Clintons campaign. In fact, he received an invoice from his lawyers in April 2015 a consent request for Dmitry Akhanov of Rusnano USA to join Joules board.
But nothing to see here, Podesta insisted.
I was on the board of an American company that did business here and only here, he said. The Russian company had a small investment in that company. We can go round and around the tree.
Was Joules business here and only here in America as Podesta claimed? Not according to Joules own CEO and president, Bill Sims. While thanking Putins Rusnano, Sims said the investment would help support the development of our global presence and complements the companys expansion plans in Europe, the Middle East, and Mexico. Moreover, Stichting Joule is itself an overseas entity. Indeed, Rusnanos investment in Joule was in part to develop a manufacturing facility in Russia.
And what about Podestas contention that Putins investment fund represented a small investment in Joule? In 2012 the company claimed it had raised $110 million to date.
That meant the Kremlin-backed $35 million investment given to Joule after Podestas board appointment represented over 30 percent of Joules outside financing.
Theres also this inconvenient fact: In 2016, Russias largest bank, Sberbank, where Joule board member Reuben Vardanyan formerly served as head of its investment banking division, had a $170,000 lobbying contract with the Podesta Group which is owned by John Podestas brother, Tony Podesta.
In short, Clintons top campaign chief and a senior counselor to Obama sat on Joules board alongside top Russian officials as Putins Kremlin-backed investment fund funneled $35 million into Joule. No one looking at the Podesta fact pattern can claim to care about rooting out Russian collusion and not rigorously investigate the tangle of relationships.
Are US officials investigating the matter? We dont know. When Bartiromo asked Podesta whether his closed-door session in front of the House Intelligence Committee included questions about his Russian ties and Joule, Podesta punted: I have already told you that I was asked not to talk about specific questions, and I said I would respect that.
After the slippery answers Podesta delivered during his explosive Fox Business interview, US officials have more reasons than ever to demand answers about John Podesta, Joule Unlimited and Putins Rusnano investment fund. If they werent investigating Podesta before, they should be now.

As part of just-inaugurated President Obamas new foreign policy to improve relations between the United States and Russia, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met with Russias Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in March 2009. Meeting in her hotels Salon Panorama in Geneva, she presented him with a small gift box containing a bright red button symbolizing the Obama administrations desire to reset the relationship between the two governments.
Thus began an effort to transfer American technology to Russian President Vladimir Putins own Silicon Valley, called Skolkovo.
In a report released in late July by the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) entitled From Russia With Money, authors Stephen Bannon and Peter Schweitzer reviewed the long sordid history of the technology transfer from companies such as Google, Intel, and Cisco of hi-tech technology with useful military applications.
The report quoted warnings from the FBI and the U.S. Army Foreign Military Studies Program at Fort Leavenworth that the transfer would work against American interests. Warned the U.S. Army:
[The reset would serve as] a vehicle for world-wide technology transfers to Russia in the areas of information technology, biomedicine, energy, satellite and space technology, and nuclear technology.
It was clearly a quid pro quo arrangement: 17 of the 28 companies involved in the technology transfer gave millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation or to Bill Clinton for giving some speeches.
When those authors, both of whom are affiliated with Breitbart News, summed up their conclusions, one question remained: The GAI investigative report says its unclear how much, if any, money [John] Podesta made. Podesta, having served the Clintons for years, first as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and then as counselor to President Obama and finally as Hillarys campaign chairman, deserved a payoff.
But it wasnt clear until the latest batch of e-mails provided by WikiLeaks went public last week that Americans now know. For his efforts Podesta received thousands of shares of common and preferred stock in one of the companies involved in the transfer. The fact came to light when WikiLeaks published e-mails Podesta sent to the company ordering it to transfer his shares to a shell corporation he had created a month earlier.
The e-mails included a letter Podesta wrote to the corporate secretary of that company instructing him to retitle 33,693 shares of preferred stock to Leonidio Holdings, LLC, a corporation that Podesta (or one of his staff) created using a Corporation Service Company to hide the shares from public view.
The company that gave Podesta the stock shares, Joule Unlimited, claims to be a producer of alternative energy technology that will eventually be able to produce energy that will be competitive with oil priced at $50 a barrel. It was a recipient of millions of Putins rubles as one of the gang of companies working to transfer American technology to Russia, one of Americas enemies.
As Schweizer told the New York Post in an interview in July:
The Clintons, they get their donations and speaking fees in the millions of dollars. The Russians get access to advanced US technology. The tech companies get special access to the Russian market and workforce .
All I ask is that people look at the money. Who made the deals, who benefited from the deals?
Thanks to WikiLeaks the people now know the name of at least one of those who participated in the deals and how he benefited from them: John Podesta, Hillarys campaign manager.
This harridan witch and all her demonic progressive cohorts, in truth, are adamantly opposed to that core asset and would, if they could, expunge the notion from our founding documents. They seek to grab the people's power and to nullify the consent of the governed. They want control of society because they believe they are better and smarter, but they are neither; they are evil.

Somewhere in New York, someone stole the bed sheets from a motel.
And yet, Obama travel to Cuba in March, 2016 for a summit with Raul Castro, and when Castro publicly stated that the USA sucks, Obama agreed with him.
At a minimum, this criminal wretch should be in prison for the rest of her obviously malignant, worthless life.
Well Bitch, your country has Putin speaking for it.
I followed your instructions and got an eyeful of her elephantine cankles.
It was a set-up.
Did I just get punked?
Bagster
“nasty shoes and no socks!”
I thought she was wearing argyles but those were her varicose vains!
Mankind hasn't invented a rope strong enough to hang her grotesque obesity.
Firing squad? Burning at the stake?
Bagster
Why arent both Clintons in Federal Penitentary.
She must have lost her memory. See my tagline.
That’s amazing! She’s in a bathrobe!
If it had been her in the room she would have sold US assets to Putin in return for lots of money to her foundation and family. She can’t imagine that Trump would do anything else.
She’s bitter that she didn’t think of having private meetings with Putin and instead set up a private email server to do the negotiating and it was discovered.
