John Podesta Received $35 Million From Russia While Advising Clinton And Obama

Fox News & Stone Cold Truth ^ | May 22 2017

Making these claims is none other than Breitbart editor Peter Schweizer – the author of “Clinton Cash.”

Speaking on Fox & Friends this morning, Schweizer said the following:

In 2011, John Podesta joins the board of this very small energy company called Joule Energy based out of Massachusetts. About two months after he joins the board of a Russian entity called Rusnano, puts a billion rubles which is about 35-million-dollars into John Podesta’s company.

Now, what is Rusnano? It’s not a private company. It is directly funded by the Kremlin. In fact, the Russian science minister called Rusnano Putin’s child.

So, you have the Russian government investing in one John Podesta’s business in 2011, while he is an advisor to Hillary Clinton at the State Department.

It gets deeper.

Schweizer went on to point out that Podesta went to the White House in 2013 “to be a special counselor to Barack Obama.”

He said:

That requires that you have financial disclosures every year. In his financial disclosure form in 2013, [Podesta] not only fails to disclose these 75,000 shares of stock that he has in Joule Energy which is funded in part by the Russian government.

He also fails to disclose that he is on one of the three corporate boards that this entity has. It’s got this very complex ownership structure.

He discloses he is on the company in Massachusetts, that he is on the board of a company in the Netherlands, but he fails to disclose that he is also on the executive order of the holding company.

That’s a clear violation of the disclosure rules that needs to be looked at.

RUSSIAN COLLUSION BY TRUMP CLINTON

[Don Corleone]

Sitting here hoping that Trump gets to this item on his voluminous ‘to do’ list soon.

[Timpanagos1]

There is no reason why a Special Prosecutor cannot be appointed to look into this accusations.

“Very complex ownership structure” means “front for money laundering operation.”

[ClearCase_guy]

In his financial disclosure form in 2013, [Podesta] not only fails to disclose these 75,000 shares of stock that he has in Joule Energy which is funded in part by the Russian government.

Democrats make this kind of "mistake" all the time. Then they say "oops" and move on.

[ArtDodger]

Until some of these people are facing real jail time, they will never in form on the Clintons or Obama. Time to squeeze a bit.

bttt

[drypowder]

they’re democrats, it’s okay for them to break the law without any consequences, NOT! No judge has the balls to charge any democrat for any crime they commit because they and their family members all like to keep breathing. This is our USA today.

4. `Clinton Cash’ and Democrat, NYT, ABC tag-teaming:
“Amy Chozick from the NYT called us to indicate she had obtained a copy of the book on her own and intends to file a separate story tomorrow. Her story will not unpack all of the book’s claims … she will do a more process-y story about the book’s existence, the fact that the publisher has approached multiple media outlets in advance of the book’s publication to spoon-feed them some of the book’s research,” Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon wrote to other Clinton advisers.

He added, “We think this story, though it was not originated by us, could end up being somewhat helpful in casting the book’s author as having a conservative agenda.”

When the author, Peter Schweitzer, stumbled through an awkward interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos — himself a Clinton Foundation donor — the comms team took a victory lap as they sent around the transcript.

“[G]reat work everyone. this interview is perfect. he lands nothing and everything is refuted (mostly based on our work),” wrote spokesman Jesse Ferguson.

“This is therapeutic to watch. George is cool as a cucumber, doesn’t rush into it, but just destroys him slowly but surely over the course of the interview,” chimes in Nick Merrill.”

You can buy a lot of child ‘art’ with that much money...

[Liz]

A leaked Jan. 3, 2014 document shows that Podesta transferred more than 25,000 of 75,000 shares of Joule Technologies---a Russian-connected firm---to Leonidio Holdings LLC......listed w/ an address at his daughter's Megan Rouse’s Shannon Court home in Dublin, California.

Megan Rouse operates Megan Rouse Financial Planning from that same address. The inference is to money laundering, perhaps tax evasion. Suggests that Megan Rouse's father, John Podesta, hid stocks connected to Russia.

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

NOTE: Conspiring w/ a family member to hide income, launder illicit money, and evade taxes is a known scam---uncovered by the IRS in the UBS investigation.

Russia Behind Fake News about Trump Russia Collusion?

It would put a monkey wrench in his plans for a stronger America and thus play into Putin’s hand. They are behind the fake US invented AIDS story, that the moon launch was faked and that the US blew up the twin towers on 9-11. These are all stories that the left buys into heavily. Why not?

[GnuThere]

Such a nasty man.

[Defiant]

Yes, he does not need to wait for Mueller to do this, he can do it himself. I don’t think the appointment limits his ability to go after Hillary and her cronies for corruption.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Well,...and we have a Special Counselor looking at Russian activities regarding Election influence....surely he will look at this.

Yes?

[BenLurkin]

Nope.

That whole “financial disclosure” thing only applies to Republicans.
