First American connection to the Panama Papers involves associates of Hillary campaign

Questions are being asked about why Americans don’t seem very prominent among those exposed in the massive Panama Papers leak.  And dark suspicions exist that the leaker is Soros-funded and has deliberately shielded certain parties, in an effort aimed at discrediting Russia in particular.  As “Tyler Durden” of Zerohedge noted:

... in an interview conducted between Wired magazine and the director of the organization that released the Panama Papers, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, or ICIJ, Gerard Ryle…said:

Ryle says that the media organizations have no plans to release the full dataset, WikiLeaks-style, which he argues would expose the sensitive information of innocent private individuals along with the public figures on which the group’s reporting has focused. “We’re not WikiLeaks. We’re trying to show that journalism can be done responsibly,” Ryle says. He says he advised the reporters from all the participating media outlets to “go crazy, but tell us what’s in the public interest for your country.”

Question aside about who it is that gets to decide which "innocent private individuals" are to be left alone[.]

And in another dispatch, Durden notes that Wikileaks is criticizing the failure to release all the data.

But the first prominent American name to be associated with the leak belongs to someone close to the Clinton political machine.  Lachlan Markay of the Free Beacon reports:

A firm with ties to senior members of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign registered to lobby on behalf of a major Russian bank just weeks before a massive leak exposed the bank’s role in a web of secret financial dealings that have enriched members of Russian president Vladimir Putin’s inner circle.

I’m waiting for the Valerie Jarrett dump. You have to think she’s socked away a few billion. Her greed didn’t die with the Chicago Olympics.
