Bob Baer: If Russian Hacking Story is Political “there should be a criminal investigation”

Conservative Treehouse ^ | Sundance

[detective]

For the past several days we have been discussing the Deep State shadow war within the various intelligence agencies.  The larger issues have been building for a long time.

CIA Director John Brennan and DNI head James Clapper, both took politicization of intelligence to new levels to accommodate the White House. It is not accidental that both of these names are the primary voices behind the “Russian Hacking Conspiracy“.

[Lorianne]

The FBI didn’t hire them, the DNC did.

But yes, why not just outsource the work of the 17 ‘intelligence’ agencies to private contractors?

Hillary's campaign chair, John Podesta, is on-record making these absurd allegations.

John Podesta: Washington Post post-election op-ed piece
FR POSTED BY AM by ColdOne

PODESTA: The more we learn about the Russian plot to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s campaign and elect Donald Trump, and the failure of the FBI to adequately respond, the more shocking it gets. The former acting director of the CIA has called the Russian cyberattack “the political equivalent of 9/11.” Just as after the real 9/11, we need a robust, independent investigation into what went wrong inside the government and how to better protect our country in the future.

As the former chair of the Clinton campaign and a direct target of Russian hacking, I understand just how serious this is. So I was surprised to read in the New York Times that when the FBI discovered the Russian attack in September 2015, it failed to (Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...

WikiLeaks: Tax Form Reveals Hillary's campaign chair, John Podesta, Continued Ties to Russian Energy Company After Claiming He Divested

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

PODESTA'S LUCRATIVE RUSSIAN CONNECTIONS---
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.

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.

The Center for American Progress (CAP) was started in 2003 by John Podesta, Bill Clinton's onetime Chief of Staff; Podesta led Obama’s presidential transition team after 2008 and was Hillary’s 2016 campaign manager. Podesta’s relationship with the Clintons goes back to 1970.

o the Twenty Million Dollar Question of the day is...

Why didn’t the F.B.I. use this SAME company to investigate and attempt to retrieve Illary’s lost emails from the bleach bit server?

Here is another thread about the private company...As they say, follow the money...

Americans DEMAND Podesta be placed under intense scrutiny.
L/E needs to (a) uncover Podesta's hidden agenda, and, (b) determine exactly who is directing Podesta's activities.

Podesta has been close to power for years, effortlessly getting numerous top level, high-powered govt jobs, and he even controls the media.

Podesta got rich trading on insider info, and is paid off for his powerful connections. Podesta received valuable stocks in a Russian-connected energy company.The Saudi Royal Court paid Podesta's PR Group $200,000 for a month-long project to provide “public relations services”. (verified to date).

People paying large sums of money expected payback if Hillary got elected. Powerful money interests could be directing Podesta to overturn the election to insure they get payback.

<><> Podesta chaired Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign.

<><> Podesta is 2016 Hillary Clinton's campaign Chair.

<><> Podesta was President Bill Clinton's Chief of Staff 1998-2001.

<><> Podesta owns the Podesta Group with his brother Tony, a major lobbying firm (has a website).

<><> Podesta Chairs the Center for American Progress, his Washington DC-based think tank.

<><> Podesta headed Obama’s transition team in fall 2008.

<><> Podesta once served as Counselor to Obama.

<><> Podesta once worked at Hillary's State Dept.

<><> Podesta serves as the Clinton Foundation decision-maker.

<><> Podesta had been tapped for Hillary's COS, if elected.

<><> Podesta founded Progressive Media w/ CNN, HuffPo, MediaMatters, WaPo, Dem SPAC’s, etc.

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

Podesta as Clinton's COS.

Podesta as Counsellor to Obama.

Podesta as Hillary's campaign manager

You mean this Brennan? The Muslim?

Yes the passport breach should be investigated among other things such as why he personally halted LEO training on Islam Jihad:

It is also possible that the Clintons, Podesta, Obama and the Cliton campaign committee committed other federal offenses including but not limited to:

<><> Title 18 U.S.C. §1341, Mail Fraud, 18 U.S.C.§1001, Presenting a False Document to an Agent of the US Government (involves several felonies and could include forgery);

<><> 18 U.S.C.§1027 False statements and concealment of facts in relation to documents required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and other possible offenses including civiland/or criminal RICO violations.

<><> 18 U.S.C. §§1961-68 (RICO Act)18 U.S.C. §1001 (making false Statements to Agents of the US Government),

<><> 18 U.S.C. §241 (Conspiracies Against Civil Rights).

Possibly full investigations centering on RICO conspiracies under 18 U.S.C. §1962(c) could be warranted because (1) the persons (2) were employed by or associated with an enterprise (3) that engaged in or affected interstate commerce and that (4) the persons operated or managed the enterprise (5) through a "pattern" (6) of racketeering activity, and (7) the taxpayers were injured by reason of the "pattern" of racketeering activity.

Alleged Offenses could include Violation of Title 18 U.S.C. §241 – Conspiracy Against Constitutional Rights – which prohibits in relevant part, “two or more persons (from conspiring) to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same . . .” See, 18 U.S.C. §241.

Taxpayers demand investigation by the following agencies commence at once:

<><> FBI -- Wire Fraud Division

<><> IRS-govt and financial Fraud Unit

<><> Department of Justice’s Office of the Inspector General,

<><> Department of Commerce’s Office of Inspector General.

<><> DOJ's Criminal Division-- Public Integrity Section

<><> DOJ Criminal Division--Organized Crime and Gang Section.

A detective Lieutenant at age 24? He must have had (A) a whole lot on the ball or (B) well connected relatives. Since they had him murdered, my bet is on A.

[boxlunch]

Awesome idea. Also have it running as a banner under every televised story

would have to figure out how to prevent them from lying, say registering as a Republican lobbyist and then continuing to do their leftist propaganda, so appear to be “unbiased”.

When I look at Brennan and Clapper I see dead people. Neither will last the month at their jobs.
