Podesta relative earned six-figure fees lobbying Clinton's State Dept. during his tenure there
Fox News ^ | October 27, 2016 | James Rosen

EXCLUSIVE: Amid the tumult of the 2016 presidential campaign, John Podesta is best known as Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman and the individual from whose private account WikiLeaks is presently publishing some 50,000 hacked emails.

Released in daily batches, these documents have laid bare the inner workings and tensions of the Clinton campaign in an unprecedented way, while also offering insights into the operations of the Clinton Foundation and the State Department in the years when Clinton, now the Democratic presidential nominee, served as secretary of state.

At that time, when Clinton was traveling to a record number of foreign countries, Podesta, a former White House chief of staff under President Clinton, held dual titles at the State Department: as a senior advisor – entitled to an annual salary of $130,000 never paid him, the department maintains – and as a member of a prestigious foreign policy advisory board Secretary Clinton created. Records obtained from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management show Podesta’s tenure at State extended from Sept. 25, 2011 to Jan. 4, 2014.

For several months in 2012, Clinton’s final year as secretary of state, Raytheon, the leading defense contractor, hired Podesta’s sister-in-law, Heather Podesta, as a lobbyist, federal records show.

Raytheon was looking to enlarge its share of foreign military sales – transfers of advanced weapons systems to other countries that are reviewed and approved by the Department of State, then implemented by the Department of Defense – and was beefing up its lobbying operation to accomplish that goal before Secretary Clinton left office.

So Heather was raking it in, Podesta’s daughter was the holding place for his Russian energy company via places like Haiti and RSA (via Clinton Foundation and DOS stuff.)

Simply obscene.

My prior post was incomplete.....

So Heather was raking it in, Podesta’s daughter was the holding place for his Russian energy company, and meanwhile, Tony Podesta, John’s brother, was making killings via places like Haiti and RSA (via Clinton Foundation and DOS stuff.)

Simply obscene.

Obscene is precisely the right word for the Clinton Crime Syndicate.

WHY is this crook being allowed to break laws the rest of us would hang for? WHY is this crook being allowed to even look like a candidate except for a prison cell???

Oh I know, there isn’t anyone who would find her guilty, or the rest of the crooks in the FBI; DOJ; IRS; Home Land Security; House of Reps; and the Senate, the White House...

You can damn well bet if this was a Republican OF ANY KIND they would be hanging in Town Square!!!

PODESTA FAMILY GORGING AT THE PUBLIC TROUGH

--Podesta's SIL Heather was raking it in while he was A TAX-PAID EMPLOYEE AT THE STATE DEPT.

-- Podesta’s daughter's Megan's CALI FINANCIAL OUTFIT was the holding place for his Russian energy company STOCK via places like Haiti and RSA (via Clinton Foundation and DOS stuff.)

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

RECAP---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.

Leonidio Holdings, LLC, is listed w/ an address at his daughter's Megan Rouse’s Shannon Court home in Dublin, California. 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 A company designated "LLC" usually means that the principles do not want their names used on bank transactions.

Documents show that Podesta received 75,000 shares of Joule Unlimited Technologies......an outfit which was linked to alleged money laundering by the Russian government, according to media reports.

---------------------------------------

Perennial govt parasite

---Podesta is Clinton’s 2016 campaign chair.

---served as Bill Clinton's COS....

---onetime Counsellor to Obama.

---onetime Clinton Foundation employee.

FREEPER ACTION PROJECT---DO THIS NOW.

Did the FBI know evidence surfaced that neither Hillary nor her key staff signed the official State Dept exit form required upon termination of employment?

My gut feeling is the cunning Clintonids didn't sign off b/c that would have cutoff their access to classified and other State Dept info......info the greedy Clintons and their cronies use to cash-in.

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

The FBI should determine if Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, Sid Blumenthal and other Clinton cronies are considered State Dept employees---perhaps as contractors--- and are receiving classified State Dept mail and cashing US govt paychecks.

REFERENCE Brian Pagliano---billed as Hillary's personal IT--- left her employ then surfaced on the public payroll as a State Dept contractor.

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

Taxpayers demand to know who else among the Clinton cronies are cashing US govt paychecks. It's an old bureaucratic trick for a politician to hand-pick top aides and put them on the public payroll long after you think they're gone. Who might still be cashing State Dept paychecks?

<><> Hillary?

<><> Bill Clinton?

<><> Sid Blumenthal?

<><> Huma Abedin,

<><> Anthony Weiner, Huma's soon to be ex?

<><> Cheryl Mills?

<><> Cheryl mills' live-in David Domenici?

<><> Chelsea Clinton?

<><> Chelsea's husband?

<><> John Podesta

<><> Podesta's sister-in-la

<><> Podesta's daughter Megan Rouse.

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

FREEPER ACTION NOW---CONTACT CONGRESS HERE: http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

Demand Congress send you all available information on individuals connected to Hillary still cashing US govt paychecks.

In light of the $6 billion that went missing from the State Dept's contractor fund when Hillary exited, taxpayers demand to know who is listed as a State Dept contractor....and whether they are receiving classified State Dept info.

“Didn’t take a salary.”

Hah.

I believe that I’ll believe anything.

The conniving Clintons have used that one for Cheryl Mills and the infamous Blumenthal.

Most of all these parasites want to get paid.....so you can be assured Podesta’s cashing US govt checks like there’sno tomorrow.

His invoice at post number four says a lot about his parasitic mindset.

Betcha Pdesta’s collecting several govt pensions.....from all his govt positions.
