Clinton Campaign Chair’s Undisclosed $35M Russian Deal

Amid Democratic effort to tie Trump to Moscow, Podesta caught with hand in the stroganoff!
Media outlet Lifezette is revealing a bombshell report released Sunday
by the non-partisan Government Accountability Institute (GAI) revealed
that John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, developed
undisclosed relationships with a Putin-connected Russian government
fund.
Podesta
served on the executive board of an energy company called Joule
Unlimited, which received $35 million from a Kremlin-connected entity.
Podesta was on the executive board of an energy company which received $35 million from a Kremlin-connected entity.
The
energy company was part of a “Russian reset” program, which
then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton helped initiate. The program was
designed to build an “innovation city” called Skolkovo, a Russian
equivalent to the U.S.’s Silicon Valley. Critics of the initiative,
including the FBI, warned that the Russian government would use Skolkovo
to gain access to technology and information that would help build up
their military.
The
GAI report says “Two months after Podesta joined the board, Vladimir
Putin’s Rusnano announced that it would invest up to 1 billion rubles
into Joule Unlimited, which amounts to $35 million. That represents
one-fifth of the entire amount of investment dollars Joule collected
from 2007 to 2013.”
Rusnano is a government-owned joint-stock company that was founded by Vladimir Putin in 2007.
The
GAI was unable to determine how much money Podesta made from the deal,
as he was on the board of three Joule entities — and he only listed two
of them on his government disclosure filings.
It
is unclear why Podesta failed to disclose reveal his membership on the
board of one of the Joule entities, even though it was required by law.
The revelation of Podesta’s secret relationship with Kremlin-connected
entities, however, only raises more questions about the transparency and
trustworthiness of the Clinton campaign — and casts into doubt the
Democratic effort to paint Clinton’s opponent as too cozy with Russia.
