RussiaGate: Hillary Clinton and John Podesta's Troubling Ties to Russia

During his appearance on “Fox & Friends,” Schweizer alleged that Clinton campaign chair John Podesta probably violated federal law when he failed to disclose his stock holdings in a Kremlin-funded company.

“In 2011, John Podesta joins the board of this very small energy company called Joule Energy based out of Massachusetts," Schweizer said. "About two months after he joins the board, a Russian entity called Rusnano puts a billion rubles -- which is about 35 million dollars -- into John Podesta’s company. Now, what is Rusnano? Rusnano is not a private company, Steve. It is a fund 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 of John Podesta’s businesses in 2011, while he is an advisor to Hillary Clinton at the State Department.”

"Does anyone in Trump's circle rise to the level where there's this kind of money involved?" asked host Steve Doocy.

Oddly enough, the mainstream media isn't interested in looking into any of this because they're too busy focusing like a laser beam on minor crumbs they think can feed their anti-Trump Russia conspiracy theories.

Please note the date of this article, as you will see the dems are trying to hide their own Russia deals by bringing out Trump/Russia.

John Podesta Received $35 Million From Russia While Advising Clinton And Obama
Fox News & Stone Cold Truth ^ | May 22 2017 / FR Posted by drewh

Making these claims is none other than Breitbart editor Peter Schweizer – the author of “Clinton Cash.” Speaking on Fox & Friends, 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.

Podesta 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. (Excerpt) Read more at stonecoldtruth.com ...

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

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.

Is this the same company as Joule Biotechnologies? Seems like it changes names a lot except for the “Joule” part if all these helioculture/ethanol/biodeisel companies with Joule in the name are related..

[HarleyLady27]

...but Podesta didn’t report that on his papers...

They are trying hard to keep this Russia/Trump thing going because they all are so involved in Russia ties that if and when it all comes out, President Trump will be walking on water...

There is a lot of information out on the Clintons, Bushes, Obamas and everyone they have ties to that they are in the gutter of America...Comey works for the Clinton Foundation, Muller was Comey’s boss and is connected with the Clintons, and the Podesta Brothers are so involved in other things along with Russia money and connections it’s sickening...

It’s all out there on the internet, and it’s there for reading...

Ok, follow this line of reasoning. Trump was criticized because Sally Yates demanded Flynn be immediately discharged because “the Russians had knowledge on Flynn that they could use to blackmail him”. The Democrats and Yates have said the 18 days delay before Flynn was fired was way too long.

Now lets look at Hillary. Take the democrats and the CIA at their word. And assume the Russians were the ones who sourced the Wikileaks emails from John Podesta. These emails showed several Hillary flaws, crimes, lies and terribly embarrassing acts. But nobody in the press is asking if Hillary herself was compromised. The Russians cleary had something on her. Did they try to use it? Did Hillary, her staff, or her campaign or our government, especially the CIA or FBI know the extent to which she was compromised and kept quiet?

And here is the big question. If the Russians got Podesta’s emails so easily, who else are they able to blackmail with information from Podesta or other emails. And did they withhold a really shocking email that could indict Hillary or someone else. Did our government look at Podest’s emails to see if there were any missing emails that the Russians found too juicy to release in the original bulk Wikileaks dump.

OAN is great. Should be a replacement for FOX.

I’ve looked further into this. It relates deeply to Harry Reid corruption. Will resurface later.

So is Fox News going to give Fox and Friends the smack down they gave Hannity?

[HarleyLady27]

They are bought and paid for...the Murdoch's...they are friends with Soros, and the Murdoch's are close to the Clintons...so I would imagine that Fox is going to be the next Clinton News Network...
