Putin-funded Company John Podesta Received 75,000 Shares from Has Collapsed
breitbart ^ | JEROME HUDSON

Controversial Kremlin-connected energy firm Joule Unlimited, which received millions from a Vladimir Putin-connected Russian government fund and counted former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta as a executive board member, has collapsed, according to the firm’s former chief executive. “The investors walked away,” former Joule Unlimited CEO Brian Baynes told The Digest, a biofuel publication.

First revealed in research from Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large and Government Accountability Institute (GAI) President Peter Schweizer, Podesta joined the executive board of Joule Unlimited Technologies — a Boston, Massachusetts-based firm that received $35 million from the Russian government while Clinton served as secretary of state — in June 2011. Podesta received 75,000 common shares of Joule stock options, according to an email uncovered by WikiLeaks.

Podesta failed to disclose his presence on the board of the Dutch-registered Stichting Joule Global Foundation before he became President Obama’s senior adviser in January 2014 — a possible violation for federal law.

Questions about the unsavory details surrounding Podesta’s Russia connections sent the longtime Clinton ally into a frenzy earlier this month during a heated Fox Business interview with Maria Bartiromo.

as a marketing guy watching the health care website roll out our group talked about how it was so clear NO ONE that had anything to do with this had any idea of what they were doing. They thought - we build a website, everyone will go online and spend $800 a month for insurance. THIS IS GREAT - and thud it went.

There’s a similar company called Solazyme in South San Francisco using algae (not bacteria, as these guys do) to make oil.

They sold it to the Obama’s gay Navy for something like $150 per gallon and ALL the principals of the company were HUGE Obama donors.

I think the gay Navy spent over $1.5 billion on the stuff and it SCREWS UP engines.

What was someone like John Podesta doing on the board of a "biofuels" company anyway?

He is a political fixer, not any kind of technologist, scientist, engineer, or businessman. Obviously he was there for "political" reasons and/or to be rewarded.

It's not clear whether the company ever had good prospects in its claimed technology or if it was just vaporware:

Yep.

Mueller will leave no stone unturned.

And Sessions will throw no stones.

There is just no need for it now. It was just a pipeline for corruption to feed the Clintons and the Rats. Useless now.

"Podesta's daugther"

He must have a terrible time keeping the mustache hair off his upper lip.

Is it just my imagination (I know, a redundant question) or does everytime DT gets charged/accused with something, or ‘prominent’ Lib gets REAL DATA against them basically doing the same thing.

Of course, since NOBODY gets charged or arrested for these shenanigans I guess it isn’t true?

All these cabinet members show up being tied with these ‘deals’ and yet you will hear the MSM pointing out what a ‘slug’ PDT is because he didn’t know Sessions was going to recuse himself while no one attempts to find out what kind of ‘vetting’ method/service the previous Administration used.

“We had a lot of prospects last year,” former CEO Brian Baynes told The Digest, “but those new investor prospects walked away, particularly post election"

Well la di da, Shrillary loses the election and "new investor prospects" are no longer interested in Podesta & Co's biofuels project. That says it all right there about the "political" background of this project.
