(Tony) Podesta Didn’t Register...When He Represented A Bank With Ties To Russian Spy Agencies
Daily Caller ^

Posted on 04/01/2017 7:52:26 PM PDT by ameribbean expat

Democratic super lobbyist Tony Podesta failed to register under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) when he agreed to represent Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank.

Sberbank allegedly has close ties to Russia’s intelligence services, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.

Marc Raimondi, the national security spokesman at the Department of Justice, confirmed to TheDCNF that Sberbank never registered with the department under FARA. It did not directly register nor was it registered through any other agency such as the Podesta Group.

“The FARA Registration Unit personnel conducted a search related to your questions and can confirm that the search terms — Sberbank CIB USA, Inc., or Sberbank — are not currently (nor previously have been) registered under FARA,” he informed TheDCNF in an email.

Someone posted earlier on Hoekstra's takedown of Arthel Neville, one of his points being the Russians always play both sides.

Proof's out there now. Flynn has problems with his financial disclosures, but he's no lawyer. Podesta's brother on the other hand...

That’s their 2016 nominee, must be because he’s the only one who came out on election night.

That appears to be for Congressional lobbying. DOJ has its own little group (apparently) called FARA. FBI would get DOJ filings as a matter of course. They’d have to actually get out of their chairs to access the legislative branch’s filings.

I didn't know that... thanks.

I wonder how many laws I've inadvertently broken by photographing Russian and Ukrainian models and not filing anything :-)

Here’s hoping and praying that both Podesta boys and many others in the Obama/Clinton Crime Syndicate end up in orange jumpsuits.

So, as the 2016 election was ramping up, we had the brother of John Podesta registered as a lobbyist for Russian interests, and it is NEVER mentioned in the MSM, even as they troll for links between Trump and Russia.
