A Putin connected Russian government fund transferred $35 million to a small company with Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta on its executive board , which included senior Russian officials.
John Podesta failed to reveal, as required by law on his federal financial disclosures, his membership on the board of this offshore company.

This piece from Government Accountability Institute (dated 8/01/2016 & I searched FR archives before posting) does an excellent job (imo) of putting all the pieces together on who is really "in bed with Putin" and from reading this 56 page document, it's easy to see it is not Trump.
Dots are connected that tie Putin to Hillary to Podesta to WJC to Tenneo and more.
obvious quid pro quo examples cite money transfers from Russian interests to Podesta, Clinton Foundation, and WJC during Hillary's term as SOS.
Questionabale "dual use" assests were transferred to the Russians.
After reading through this article, the current "Russians are coming" scare, seems more like a diversionary technique by Dem Fake News crew to take the focus off their own questionable activities with Putin & the Russian oligarchy.
I'll try to add some additional excerpts for comments later.
Lock ‘em all up!
heads up.
this is from august, but seems like a very detailed well documented (12 pages of footnotes) piece that needs to be dusted off before tomorrow’s electoral college vote to help understand what was really going on in US/Russian “innovation” partnerships.
So. Follow the Putin-Russian $$$$$$$$$$$$$ and you end up
at Podesta/Hillary. - Bill must have meant it when he
rejoiced that he’d never have to pay another “light” bill.
Lock up tricky deceiving whore Hillary and Podesta asap!
There is a related FR post that went up just 6 minutes after this post.
Podesta was on Meet The Press this morning.
He refused to acknowledge that the Trump election was “free and free.”
Podesta claimed the Russians “intervened” to help Trump!
Described as “one oligarch who isn’t afraid to get down and dirty” (Fortune magazine) and “the oligarch’s oligarch” (Esquire), Vekselberg made his billions in the oil and metals sectors.
Vekselberg is a Putin confidant and a Clinton Foundation donor via his company, Renova Group.
The Clintons were clearly cultivating their relationship with Vekselberg during Hillary’s tenure as Secretary of State. On June 4, 2012, the foreign policy director at the Clinton Foundation, Amitabh Desai, reached out to Cheryl Mills, Jake Sullivan, and Michael Fuchs at the State Department via email. The subject line was “Russia/Viktor Vekselberg?” Vekselberg and his company the Renova Group had contributed between $10,000 and $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
Another Russian figure deeply involved with Skolkovo who had financial ties to the Clintons is Andrey Vavilov. The former Russian government official is the Chairman of SuperOx, which is part of the Nuclear Cluster at Skolkovo.
The Nuclear Cluster at Skolkovo is committed to enhancing the nuclear capabilities of the Russian state. A major listed beneficiary of this research is Rosatom, the Russian State Nuclear Agency, which manages the country’s nuclear arsenal.
Vavilov has donated between $10,000 and $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
Rosatom, through its subsidiary ARMZ, purchased a Canadian uranium company called Uranium One in 2010 which held assets in the United States and therefore required State Department approval. Nine Uranium One shareholders donated more than $145 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Some of those donations, including those by Uranium One Chairman Ian Telfer, had not been disclosed by the Clinton Foundation.
It’s probably a mistake to assume all Russian businessmen are aligned with Putin.
In June and July 2011, during the time period that he was advising Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, John Podesta joined the board of three related entities: Joule Unlimited, a small Massachusetts based energy company; its holding company, Joule Global Holdings, N.V., which was based in the Netherlands; and Joule Global Stichting, which appears to be the ultimate controlling entity.
According to corporate records, Podesta served on the “executive board.” Joule was a new company, founded in 2007 and claimed to pioneer a technology they called “Liquid Fuel from the Sun,” a technology based on harnessing solar energy. Podesta consulted for a foundation run by one of the investors in Joule Energy, Hans - Jorg Wyss a major Clinton Foundation donor.
95 The Wyss Charitable Foundation has given between $1 million to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Podesta was paid $87,000 by the Wyss Foundation in 2013, according to federal tax records.
Podesta’s compensation by Joule cannot be fully determined. In his 2014 federal government disclosure filing, Podesta lists that he divested stock options from Joule. However, the disclosure does not cover the years 2011 - 2012.
yes, I see you have come up with a very independentmided assessment of russian businessmen.
and while not all russian businessmen are aligned with Putin, it’s very obvious from reading this article that several Russian Oligarchs ARE aligned with Clintons & Podesta.
while there is NOTHING in this piece, or anywhere else that I have found (other than what is churned out by the propaganda apparatchiks at MSM Fake News outlets)that aligns Trump with Putin.
MORE FAKE NEWS CRAP I investigate it hahahaah
I’m not pro Hillary or anti Trump.
I just have a hard time believing that the Clintons were knowingly working with members of the Putin camp.
And it has long been apparent that Putin has low regard for both Obama and H. Clinton.
What the underlying intentions of the Russian businessmen ( oligarchs?) were with respect to these transactions is not clear.
A major technology transfer component of the Russian reset overseen by Hillary Clinton substantially enhanced the Russian military’s technological capabilities, according to both the FBI and the U.S. Army.
• Russian government officials and American corporations participated in the technology transfer project overseen by Hillary Clinton’s State Department that funnelled tens of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation.
• A Putin connected Russian government fund transferred $35 million to a small company with Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta on its executive board, which included senior Russian officials.
• John Podesta failed to reveal, as required by law on his federal financial disclosures, his membership on the board of this offshore company.
• Podesta also headed up a think tank which wrote favorably about the Russian reset while apparently receiving millions from Kremlin linked Russian oligarchs via an offshore LLC.
Bttt
It is absolutely, positively clear that Clinton campaign manager Podesta did some very lucrative deals with Russia. The same is true for Hillary and the Clinton Foundation and it’s many entities. These deals may not have been in the best interests of the United States. The Fact that Podesta and Clinton did not disclose these deals as required by law indicates they have something to hide. Perhaps there are more undisclosed deals.
It is a fact that all nations including America (Angela Merkel’s accounts were hacked by the U.S.) hack other governments. Information is valuable.
Do I think Russia wanted Hillary to be President? Yes I do because she is greedy and money hungry and thus easy to manipulate.
Well. Putin is not alone in holding the clintons in low regard (if indeed that is the case).
You seem to have interest, or maybe even questions about the clintons working with the putin camp or intentions of various russian oligarchy, and it is people exactly like you that motivated me to post this article for discusion.
I’m sure if you linked into the piece you probably had feelings similar to mine when l ran accross the article: very long & very deep reading.
It is a complex accounting documenting several different accounts of questionable dealings between obammy, hillary, podesta, putin & several russian players l had never heard about before l read the whole article.
It’s a fast moving world we live in & lll be very surprised if you or anyone else has, or will take the time to grind through this whole article, & l don’t think you’ll ever find a quicker, more convenient, better documented source to answer the questions you pose.
If you choose to invest your time taking an objective look at this piece, please get back to me with your impressions.
Once upon a time, I looked quite deeply into some articles posted on FR.
I simply don’t have time these days to do so.
My comment was intended as criticism directed toward you.
My impression though is that there is extremely bad blood between Hillary Clinton and Putin. Most of it is personal, but I think Hillary is firmly in the neutralize/break-up Russia camp. (Mackinder’s Heartland Theory)
So if that is the case why the business deals? It could just be greed. Or it could be an attempt to play various Russian factions against each other
I meant to was Not intended...
