Why is no one talking about the $400 million dollars Russia gave to Hillary Clinton's campaign ???
Russian President Vladimir Putin offered a novel idea to advance the Russia investigation during a joint news conference with President Donald Trump in Helsinki.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team could come to his country, Putin said, if Russian investigators were allowed to go the United States to dig into alleged tax evasion by American-born financier Bill Browder (non citizen) and his associates.
"Business associates of Mr. Browder have earned over 1.5 billion dollars in Russia," Putin said through a translator. "They never paid any taxes."
Putin continued.
"They sent a huge amount of money, over 400 million, as a contribution to the campaign of Hillary Clinton," he said. "Well, that’s their personal case. It might have been legal, the contribution itself, but the way the money was earned was illegal."
Did Browder's associates send $400 million to Hillary Clinton's campaign?
No. We found $17,700 donated to Clinton and another $297,000 to the Democratic National Committee.
A little background The Russians say that Browder and his partners at Ziff Brothers Investments, a New York venture capital firm, illegally syphoned billions of rubles out of the country. To add salt to the wound, Browder had led the charge to pass the 2012 Magnitsky Act, a law that penalizes Russian officials suspected of sanctioning the death of Browder’s lawyer Sergei Magnitsky in a Russian prison.
The Ziff brothers came up during the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between Donald Trump Jr. and others, and Natalia V. Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer who promised dirt on the Hillary Clinton campaign. According to transcripts from Senate Judiciary Committee interviews, Veselnitskaya’s materials described the Ziffs as Democratic donors, although Trump’s son said they gave both to Democrats and Republicans.
Follow the money If one examines the Russian Embassy and the Russian consulate in Washington to get details on the $400 million donation you will not get any information back
Browder became a British citizen and can’t legally contribute to U.S. candidates. Ziff Brothers Investments through its executives can give freely, and they have.
Before one get's into their political contributions, people may also wonder if Putin could have been talking about money that went to the Clinton Foundation. In past years, Browder and Ziff Brothers Investments had given to the Clinton Global Initiative, a project of the Clinton Foundation, but the total was not more than $110,000, records show?
In the 2016 election cycle, Ziff Brothers Investments gave $1.7 million. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, nearly two-thirds, or about $1.1 million, went to Democratic committees, and the rest to Republicans. Talk about Russian collusion!
Because they’re protecting Hillary Clinton.
No investigation on Iran Cash ???
That would require some journalistic integrity which the mainstream media doesn’t have. They are sell-outs to the Democrat party, which is hip-deep in everything they accuse their enemies of.
And the conservative media gets snookered by playing defense. The mockingbird media still controls the rhetoric.
“Business associates of Mr. Browder have earned over $1.5 billion in Russia. They’ve never paid any taxes, neither in Russia or the United States,” Putin said. “And yet the money escaped the country. They were transferred to the United States. They sent a huge amount of money — $400 million — as a contribution to the campaign of Hillary Clinton. Well, that’s a personal case. It might have been legal, the contribution itself, but the way the money was earned was illegal.”

“our president asked us to correct the sum for $400,000 from $400 million,”
Because hillary is a saint, and trump is the debil accoding to the msm (and lately to fox news it seems as well)

U.S. hedge funds investing heavily in Greek banks
(Reuters) - Hedge fund billionaire John Paulson’s Paulson & Co and a number of other U.S. hedge funds are investing aggressively into Greece’s struggling banking sector expecting it to turn a corner, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.
The FT said the interest from these funds had prompted big banks in the country to lobby the government to consider speeding up the reprivatization of the sector.
Paulson & Co could not be immediately reached for comment.
John Paulson told the Financial Times that his fund had substantial stakes in Piraeus Bank and Alpha Bank.
“(Both) are now very well capitalized and poised to recover (with) good management,” he was quoted as saying.
The Financial Times citing unnamed sources said that Baupost, Eaglevale (hillary’s son in law’s hedge fund) , Dromeus Capital, Falcon Edge, York Capital and Och-Ziff are among the other funds investing heavily in Greek banks.

What Hilliary ALLOWED the World to get from her ILLEGAL SERVER was worth the BILLIONS they got for the Clinton Crime Family Slush Fund!!
Can anyone post Brian Browder History in a SEPARATE Thread??
Where is Alfred E. Sessions?
Why is he protecting Hillary?
I thought it was corrected to $400K - of course we know why it ain’t being talked about...
Why? She’s a Democrat. They’re immune from D.C. and mainstream media scrutiny.
it’s been scaled back to 400K
Oh please, that little dweeb has vanished. Why is he being paid a salary?
Sessions evidently doesn’t have an ounce of shame or self respect. He must be aware of all of the negative comments being made about him and obviously doesn’t care. As someone said, “he wanted the job, not the work”.
Is this Ziff company affiliated with the Ziff Davis that was a publisher for PC Magazine?
The Maharishi Rush mentioned it on his radio show a couple of days ago.
