Russian connection? Look no further than the Obama admin.

by EasTexSteve

Mar 27, 2017

Well, well, well! Funny how all the libs are trying to invent a Russian connection with the Trump administration, when the Obama white house was neck deep.

WikiLeaks released the following emails, which shows John Podesta's connection with Joule Unlimited Technologies — financed in part by a Russian firm — originally awarded Podesta 100,000 shares of stock options when in 2010 he joined their board of directors. 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.

And, if that wasn't enough, he violated federal law by failing to disclose the stock transaction on 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 securiti...See More

Lulu It looks like someone's trying really hard to manufacture a scandal in the Omaha administration to deflect attention from Trump's.

In order for this to carry any weight the following would have to be true:

1. Joule Unlimited Technologies would have to be owner by a Russian oligarch or group or they would have to at least have a ma...See More

Trump has no scandal. The democrats have nothing but a dream. However, with Podesta and the Obama administration, there is a heck of a paper trail.

Your smoke and mirrors aside, I find it really interesting that 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. So, yeah, I'd say Podesta's shares were worth more than 5 dollars.

But Podesta didn’t pocket all the shares. Correspondence from Podesta to Joule instructed the firm to transfer only 33,693 shares to Leonidio Holdings, a brand-new entity he incorporated only on December 20, 2013, about ten days before he entered the White House.

A January 4, 2014 letter to Joule corporate secretary Mark Solakian, Podesta requested the transfer to Leonidio of 25,146 shares of series C stock and 8,547 shares of Series C-II. The letter was released by WikiLeaks last October.

First, you have to open your eyes. The Russians appear to have paid him to do just that.
