Gingrich: Evidence points to Democratic collusion with Russia
Washington Examiner ^ | 4/2/17 | John Siciliano

Posted on 04/02/2017 4:01:52 PM PDT by markomalley

Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker and presidential candidate, said Sunday that the evidence of collusion with Russia points to Democrats, not Republicans.

"It is ironic that all of the real evidence of real money and real influence-buying relates to Democrats," Gingrich told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo."

Gingrich, who has been a trusted Trump adviser, said Russia's involvement in the 2016 elections "may have helped Democrats far more than Republicans."

Gingrich pointed to benefactors of such collusion being associated with Hillary Clinton's former campaign chairman, John Podesta — specifically his brother, Tony Podesta.

"There is no evidence that anybody was being purchased on the Republican side," he said.

Gingrich cited Tony Podesta as a "registered agent for a Russian bank." There has been more-recent news that he is also lobbying for the Chinese. Some on Capitol Hill are also calling for an investigation into John Podesta's previous associations with Russia as a motive for possible collusion during the elections.

Gingrich's statement comes one day after President Trump took aim at the media on Twitter for following a "phony Russia story" that seeks to tie him to collusion with Russian over the elections.

When did Russia stop funding and controlling the CPUSA?

When did the CPUSA stop supporting H->!

When did the ‘Rat Party stop pushing for Internationale Socialism for America?

Reminds me of an old job I had where this one employee was constantly accusing other employees of stealing until he was caught red handed doing just that - stealing.. Sounds like the same deal going on with Democraps - deflecting attention from themselves.

And Adam Schiff says this is just the very beginning of the Trump/Russian collusion investigation.

I hope he is being investigated in the pizza investigation.

The New York Times reported the Clintons' connections thusly: "Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal." Plus Bill Clinton pocketed $500,000 from a Moscow investment bank for a brief speech.

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

The NYT and Washington Post never reported about Pravda's headline: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.” Imagine if a Republican State Department approved such a deal?

More egregiously, Hillary's campaign chairman, the ubiquitous John Podesta, acting as "The Podesta Group" (co-founded w/ his brother, Tony) lobbied on behalf of Uranium one, after most of it was owned by Russia.

PODESTA/RUSSIA LINKS---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.

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

NOTE: Conspiring w/ a family member to hide income, launder illicit money, and evade taxes is a known scam---uncovered by the IRS in the UBS investigation.

The IRS continues to uncover abusive tax-avoidance schemes involving offshore activity pertaining to Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS) investigation.

Article states...”Newt Gingrich.... said Sunday that the evidence of collusion with Russia points to Democrats, not Republicans....”It is ironic that all of the real evidence of real money and real influence-buying relates to Democrats,” Gingrich told Fox News’.....

Which the Demorats and all the media is stroking the oars so frantically to get the pointer off them that they cant breath!

Wasn’t it Hillary who said to her staff if she went down they’d be going down with her.....

As many of us noted at the beginning, the Democrats always project blame upon their adversaries for whatever they themselves are actually doing. Such tactics worked reliably against compromised PussyPubbies, but only backfire against a street fighter like President Trump.

BREAKING=> KREMLIN CONNECTION CONFIRMED! Podesta Company Paid One Billion Rubles from Russian Govt

The Gateway Pundit ^ | Mar 31st, 2017 | Jim Hoft / FR Posted by xzins

FINALLY — INVESTIGATORS UNCOVER KREMLIN CONNECTION IN 2016 US ELECTION!

Confirmed— The Putin Government gave John Podesta 35 millions dollars (1 billion rubles) while he advised Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

-—Investigative reporter and author Peter Schweizer went on FOX and Friends to discuss Kremlin influence on US politics — and how the Clinton camp was in bed with the Putin regime. Peter Schweizer: In 2011 John Podesta joined the board of this very small energy company called Joule Energy based out of Massachusetts. About two months after he joins the board a Russian entity called RUSNANO puts a billion rubles, which is about $35 million, 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 finance minister called RUSNANO “Putin’s Child.” So you have the Russian government investing in one of John Podesta’s business in 2011 while he is an adviser to Hillary Clinton at the State Department.

Steve Doocy: OK. Does anybody in the Trump circle rise to the level that there is this kind of money involved?

Peter Schweizer: No. And, once again, the frenzy on the left is all a disguise to hide their own rampant corruption.

The Podesta angle in this must be investigated.

After she lost, the furious Hillary horse-whipped her 2016 campaign chair, John Podesta, into action. Podesta came charging out of the gate like Greased Lightning, galloping at breakneck speed, sweating it out, desperate to make Hillary look like a "victim."

John Podesta Op-Ed: Washington Post post-election op-ed / FR POSTED by 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 of Podesta at washingtonpost.com ...

EXCLUSIVE: Dem Super-Lobbyist Podesta Got $170K
Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | March 6, 2017 | Richard Pollock / FR Posted by kevcol

Democrat super-lobbyist Tony Podesta (brother of John Podesta) was paid $170,000 over a six-month period last year to represent Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank, seeking to end one of the Obama administration’s economic sanctions against that country, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned.

Podesta, founder and chairman of the Podesta Group, is listed as a key lobbyist on behalf of Sberbank, according to Senate lobbying disclosure forms. His firm received more than $24 million in fees in 2016, much of it coming from foreign governments, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
