Durham Investigates: John Podesta Corruption and Clinton Campaign
April 12, 2022 — bunkerville
If you thought Joe and Hunter Biden were raking in the dough over in Ukraine, do I have a story to tell you about John. Podesta is the key to unlocking the secrets of the Clinton Cabal and Fusion GPS and Perkins Coi. Durham has the Clinton Campaign in his headlights and this is going to get good. Podesta was the chairman for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
I have been posting about Podesta since 2016. Six years later, the chickens are coming home. Even better I have the Maria Bartiromo interview of Podesta who sank her teeth into him back several years ago and wouldn’t let go.
You get to Watch John Podesta squirm as Maria Bartiromo questioned why he owned 75,000 shares in a Kremlin backed company. He flat out lied over and over.
Meanwhile, Podesta was busy projecting his shady dealings with Russia onto Trump. Exactly what the Democrats have always done and still do today.
Special Counsel John Durham has asked high ranking officials from the Clinton Campaign and Hillary for America, including the Clinton Campaign’s Chair (who we believe to be John Podesta1), about their awareness of the activities conducted by Fusion GPS on Hillary’s behalf.
This confirms an important avenue of Durham’s investigation: whether the Hillary Campaign or Hillary for America were part of a conspiracy to traffic false information to the FBI and other governmental entities.
While we reported on this development back in December, Durham’s latest filing (available here) provides context to his statement that Hillary for America, the Hillary Clinton Campaign, and former employees of that campaign were involved “in matters before the Special Counsel.”
What is becoming apparent is that there are few connected with the Clinton money machine who are not enjoying the fruits of the Clintons. This story tells us how John Podesta made out collecting big bucks with Russia while no doubt selling our technology down the drain. But the Clintons are well-known for a penchant for selling out technology. Bill loved to do deals with China, looks like Hillary and her cohorts look toward Russia. First this, and then on to Podesta. We have this gem:
A Moscow-based technology initiative funded in part by the Russian government funneled tens of millions of dollars into the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was serving as secretary of state, according to a new report released Monday.
As President Obama’s top diplomat, Clinton oversaw and facilitated the State Department’s failed five-year project to “reset” U.S.-Russia relations, which spurred the creation of Skolkovo, a research facility known as Russia’s version of Silicon Valley,Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer wrote in a new report, titled “From Russia with Money.” (Remember this name: Skolkovo Research Facility)
The amount of money given to the foundation from “key” Skolkovo partners ranges from $6.5 to $23.5 million, according to Clinton Foundation data. The foundation only discloses donations in ranges, making it difficult to track the exact amount.
But I digressed:
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.
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 FBI and U.S. Army determined that Skolkovo had transformed into a “dangerous pathway” for Russian technological espionage and boosted the military’s technological capabilities.
Many Skolkovo research projects used “dual-use” technologies, meaning the operations have both civilian and military uses, the report said.
Among Skolkovo’s technological innovations were Russian hypersonic cruise missile engines, radar surveillance equipment, and vehicles built to deliver airborne Russian troops, Schweizer wrote in the Wall Street Journal.
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.
Meanwhile, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta sat on the executive board of Joule Energy, which claimed to pioneer technology based on harnessing energy from the sun and participated in the Skolkovo initiative.
It is unclear why Podesta failed to disclose and 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.
“I think that everybody at the Russian reset table seems to walk away with something,” Schweizer told the New York Post.
“The Clintons, they get their donations and speaking fees in the millions of dollars. The Russians get access to advanced US technology. The tech companies [that participated in the reset, including Cisco, Intel, Microsoft] get special access to the Russian market and workforce,” Schweizer added. “At worst, [Russia gets] a more robust military, with technologies that we helped develop, and that can be sold to our enemies.”
While Clinton Inc continues to attempt to link Trump with Russia it is Podesta who has his long fingers in business dealings with the Kremlin. Worse, it is the Uranium one deal that is the product of commerce. Not only that, he lied.
The Daily Caller has previously reported on Podesta’s direct and indirect links with murky Russian-based firms. The Podesta Group that he and his brother founded in 1988 has lobbied on behalf of firms with links to the Kremlin – including Uranium One, which now controls one-fifth of the U.S. uranium supply.
Podesta has always maintained that he transferred his 75,000 shares from Joule Unlimited Technologies, a Kremlin-financed energy company, to an “anonymous” holding company named Leonidio Holdings. Not only does Leonidio share an address with Podesta’s daughter, Rouse, but they share a tax return.
The other beneficiaries are all in the family too. Read more: Daily Caller
This week we learn that Robert Mueller granted immunity to Tony Podesta who committed the same exact crimes as Paul Manafort.
Dirty cop Robert Mueller offered Tony Podesta, founder of the now-defunct Podesta Group, immunity in exchange for testimony against Trump’s former campaign chair Paul Manafort.
White House visitor logs reveal that Tony Podesta visited Clinton 114 times during the Obama administration. He has given “special access” to the Obama presidential team by his brother, John Podesta. Tony Podesta will walk free.
Now, connections between Clinton, Podesta, and Russia are receiving much-needed light, as Mueller’s misguided probe into the Trump campaign leaves his intended targets smelling like roses.
Now the coup de grace
Better yet, Marie Bartiromo interviewed Podesta about all of this and this was an interview to watch. She held his feet to the fires of hell, a brilliant interview.
John Podesta, the chairman for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, was a target of WikiLeaks during the election, but he battled with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo over his own links to Russia.
Podesta blamed the Russians when his hacked emails were published by WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign, asserting that Moscow was working to elect now-President Donald Trump.
Flashback:
The best of the swamp today. What is it with all of these politicians getting involved with energy companies? Especially over Russia’s way?? China too??
For the best in conservative news push the button.
Just when I thought I could not again be flabbergasted. I keep repeating this story over and over – because it applies over and over. It’s like A Shot in the Dark when everyone’s finger is pointing at Elke Sommer and the Inspector has the dramatic lights-out scene by which he intends to flush out the real killer. Turns out they were ALL the real killer. Elke was the only innocent one in the room. Trump was the only relatively innocent one in the swamp. The rest are ALL guilty. Yet again!
I do not believe Podesta and slick Billie and his disgusting wife can pull this one-off. Justice may just be around one of these corners. The sooner the better! They are the epitome of scum.
Agreed Kid. There is a better chance of Kamalaho being inducted into the Mensa Hall of Fame than there is of any these career criminals getting three hots and a cot.,
I’ll put five dollars and a Florshiem shoe on some person associated with the clinton campaign, be it staff or lawyer type who didn’t kiss enough clinton butt gets tossed under. If that – and if it happens in the next 3 years, expect the person to get the infamous presidential pardon – at the family discount rate of course.
Ma and Slick Willie have always been on the take even in Arkansas they were known for what they could get .Clinton is and was a snake and was known as the head of the Dixie mafia.Every one that has any kind of ties to the Clinton crime family is a crook and it would not surprise me if The Clinton crime family and the Biden crime family were in cahoots .Wouldn’t that be a hoot .The Clintons and Biteme are more just plain old on the take crooks than they are communists although they are that also.The country will not survive much more of this and it ain’t just dem/communists a lot of crooked RINOs can you say Mitch and Mitt Liz Chris the fat one and if you really want to see a nest of RINO vipers come to Colorado here they are tied in with the dem/communists.
Now, to the center of gravity of the problem: The Progressive New Left adopted the ‘noble fiction’ as a legitimate tool of political discourse fifty years ago. The self-justified habit of lying for the ‘greater good’ is now ubiquitous among the Subaru crowd and they lie unconscious of the verifiable truth because they take comfort in ‘their truth.’ Understanding that it should come as no surprise that blatant falsehoods repeated by leftist bureaucrats in unison and at high volume soon overwhelm the discernment capabilities of most listeners and readers. These Alinsky descendants know this and put it to good use. A lie, repeated often enough…………………… and so the story goes.
Back many moons ago in a land far away, in New Haven Connecticut, I was area canvassing a small college campus with one of my bubbas when I met a most interesting gentleman. This guy sought me out and engaged me in a discussion. He was a former KGB officer now teaching Eastern European languages at said small campus. He had defected in 1983.
I asked him why he defected. His answer was simple: after living in the West for a decade he stopped believing his own propaganda.
Just maybe some day the truth may make its way through the thick fog of Progressive New Left propaganda to clowns like Podesta. But I am not holding my breath. Until then I make the bold assumption that if their lips are moving they are lying.
John certainly can retain his lie under withering attack and Maria certainly took her vitamins at the time of this interview. An interesting story N… There was a time when we were accused of wearing tin foil…. now it has come to pass that our view is shared by many more. . If we say it long enough perchance we too will get believers as well.
So, is there any chance that John might soon be taking a long walk along a railroad track sometime soon (as did two teen boys in Saline County, Arkansas)?
