John Podesta, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2016 national campaign chairman, may have violated federal law by failing to disclose the receipt of 75,000 shares of stock from a Kremlin-financed company when he joined the Obama White House in 2014, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group.
Joule Unlimited Technologies — financed in part by a Russian firm — originally awarded Podesta 100,000 shares of stock options when in 2010 he joined that board along with its Dutch-based entities: Joule Global Holdings, BV and the Stichting Joule Global Foundation.
When Podesta announced his departure from the Joule board in January 2014 to become President Obama’s special counsellor, the company officially issued him 75,000 common shares of stock.
The Schedule B section of the federal government’s form 278 which — requires financial disclosures for government officials — required Podesta to “report any purchase, sale or exchange by you, your spouse, or dependent children…of any property, stocks, bonds, commodity futures and other securities when the amount of the transaction exceeded $1,000.”
The same year Podesta joined Joule, the company agreed to accept 1-Billion-Rubles — or $35 million — from Rusnano, a state-run and financed Russian company with close ties to President Vladimir Putin.
Anatoly Chubais, the company CEO and two other top Russian banking executives worked together with Podesta on the Joule boards. The board met six times a year.
Ron Hosko, a former FBI assistant director said because of the Kremlin backing, it was essential Podesta disclose the financial benefits he received from the company.
Trump seemed to have prior knowledge of this as he urged his Twitter followers to watch the show about Podesta’s exposure.
Watch @foxandfriends now on Podesta and Russia!

This is GAME OVER! After spending the last six months accusing Trump of being a Russian agent, there is basically no way the democrats can live this down.
The media has no right to talk about Trump-Russia ties. It’s over, we now have definitive proof of Clinton-Russia ties! Will the media go after the Democrats now? Let’s see…
Why isn't the House Intelligence Committee looking into the Bill & Hillary deal that allowed big Uranium to go to Russia, Russian speech….

Now, we know that The Rule of Law is a term used to rule the Proles. We can scream and rant online but nothing will ever be accomplished in this manner.
“Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’ because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.” Thomas Jefferson

If it involves the left it is not against the law! Duh! If it’s the right doing the same, then prison terms.
He broke the law. Clinton broke the law. Wasserman broke the law. Obama broke the law. Lynch broke the law. Comey broke the law. Holder broke the law. Rice broke the law. Lerner broke the law. Koskinen broke the law. Not one has been punished for their crimes. Trump is SUSPECTED of colluding with the Russians………we have a Special Prosecutor. Gimme a f’n break. WAKE UP AMERICA……..the democrats will sell your soul for a few bucks.
May have? Yawn and it was Podesta. Who the hell is Podesta? .Fake news or EXTREMELY old news 20 yr old news. A sitting President is a different story..If he’s innocent why bring up ..is it Podesta. Oh yea .Well known. Is he dead by now.? The more U stir your own pot the more it stinks. So don’t think acting AGAIN like an 8 yr old being a lil tattle tale is going to help your arraignment, I mean cause.
“The media has no right to talk about Trump-Russia ties.” So if John Dillinger robbed a bank, we are not supposed to worry about Bonnie and Clyde anymore? I tried this “Johnie did it too” argument on my mom when I was a kid. It didn’t work. If they break the law, lock them up, I care not what their political beliefs are.
Still waiting for action instead of all the gum bumping. Dems are hurting our nation terribly!!!
If the dems go down so does the GOPe. They are only two sides of the same coin. Whoever has that coin owns them both. They are rat shit traitors, all of them.
Why in the world am I getting articles that are 2-3 months old, and still the same thing in the news. Geez….I’m so tired of the bureaucratic lies and innuendos.
Because the Democrats they’re not gonna do nothing to them
WHO IN HELL DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE ALLEGIENCE TOO? FOLKS, THIS IS WHY THEY ARE TRYING TO GET RID OF TRUMP! THEY CAN’T GET BY WITH TAKING ALL OF THE BRIBES!
“MAY HAVE VIOLATED”? HE DIDNT DISCLOSE THE MONEY!
SO WHATS THE “MAY HAVE’ MEAN?
