Another Podesta direct link to Russia:Gohmert calling for an investigation of John Podesta

[tinydancer]

So first off we learn that Tony Podesta and the Podesta group were hired by the Kremlin's bank to lobby to have the sanctions lifted. And now this.

This begs the question. With the Podestas so directly linked to Russia why would Putin hack the DNC? Makes no sense at all.

And why is it the Trump campaign under investigation for Russian ties when this is a slam dunk with the Podestas let alone the Clintons.

Worth the read. More at link.


Rep. Louie Gohmert, an outspoken House Republican from Texas, is calling for a congressional investigation of John Podesta’s role with Rusnano, a state-run company founded by Russian President Vladimir Putin, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned.

AND here's the Clinton connection.


The Podesta-Russia connection also could rekindle a new round of questions about Clinton relationships with foreign figures — in this case, Chubais.

Chubais, Russia’s deputy prime minister in the 1990s, owed his personal fortunes to Bill Clinton, who embraced him as a “reformer” in former President Boris Yeltsin’s government. Clinton’s ally instead created a new generation of tycoons who today rule Russia.

The plot thickens. Here's the link.

[BULLDOG]

Anything Gohmert says is nuts, and no sane person would waste their time listening to him unless it was to laugh at him.

 

[BULLDOG]

Even Gohmert's dog turns and walks the other direction when he sees that idiot coming.

 

[Damaged Eagle]

Misdirection.

If the progressives are guilty of it then accuse the opponent of the crime to obfuscate and confuse the issue.

*****SMILE*****

 

[tinydancer]

Well no matter what one thinks of Gohmert, the Russian links with the Podestas is solid. The FBI wouldn't have to spend almost 9 months to see if there was a connection to Russia on the D side of life.

I agree and I have to wonder why the FBI never took the DNC servers after Podesta was hacked. Why they didn't take his server??They could very well have done so with no problem.

I wonder what else they would find if they investigated the entire DNC looking for a Russia connection??

Bears thinking about.

Do you actually look to see if the claims about which you read are materially accurate or do you just not comprehend what you are reading but you go ahead and "spew off at the mouth" about it?

• The WikiLeaked email, dated January 6, 2014, discusses the fact that Podesta exercised a transfer of 3/4ths of his stock option interest in Joule to another firm. He exercised a 3/4ths transfer because that was the totality of what he could exercise; the remaining quarter of his potential interest had not vested as of January 2014, thus the only question is what were the applicable terms of option expiry. (The terms associated with stock options vary by company. There is no consistent set of terms, particularly for options granted to parties related to the issuer.)
  • Because he exercised his option to buy 75K shares of Joule and then transferred them to another entity, Podesta didn't own the shares. There was nothing to disclose.
• The WikiLeaked email contains a discussion about the details of the Joule transactions and it shows Podesta's assistant providing the documentary support (as attachments) for updating the disclosure forms.
  • The disclosure form discrepancy that the parties in the email chain were discussing pertains to the fact that a former Joule employee made a scrivener's error that resulted in there appearing to be either (1) 25K vested options that Podesta had not exercised, or (2) 25K shared of stock that he still owned. It'd be appropriate to ask for documentation of the Joule 2007 Stock Option and Grant Plan, but only upon learning the details of that plan might, repeat might, there be more to ask about.
  • It is not so, as Daily Caller asserts, that Podesta's association with Joule was unknown. He disclosed his Joule stock options on page 10 of the disclosure form filed with the government.
• The fact of the matter, and the above is obvious to people who know what they are looking at (or people who bother to the time to find out before they start pothering about it). That said, leaving out details like ones above certainly makes for a salacious story to put before the public, most of whom haven't any idea of how stock options work and how they are valued. (The methodology for valuing Podesta's options is found in his offer letter and he's in his disclosure form noted them as being valued below $200, which is unsurprising given the par value stated in Podesta's offer letter. (See the Black-Scholes model and this.))

The DNC server was never hacked.

HIllary's private IT contractors did hack a Trump TOWER server and a Russian Bank server and planted a beacon ping between them for the sole purpose of creating false evidemce to suggest something improper.

I could care less about the stock options. The key point here is that the Podesta brothers are knee deep in Russian links.

Proven Russian links as compared to the fairy tale Trump Russian links. And piss off with lack of comprehension. I prefer not to make my posts 4 pages long attempting to prove my brilliance.

Have a nice day.

1. If there were any wrongdoing to be dealt with, it'd be pertaining to the disclosure of the stock options.
2. What specific details do you see in the documentation pertaining to the story in question that credibly establishes that Podesta is "knee deep" in Russian "links?"

 

[IanC]

It should be obvious that if you look hard enough and squint your eyes in the right way that any group can be connected to the Russians.

The real question is why one group is put on the hourly news scroll despite the weakness of evidence.

John Podesta sat on the board of John Podesta’s role with Rusnano

1. The OP is about John Podesta, not his brothers.
2. John Podesta did not sit on the board of Rusnano.
3. John Podesta didn't sit on the Joule board while he held his position in the WH. He could not, which is part of why he exercised the options that had vested.
4. John Podesta did not hide or deny his position as a board member at Joule. The identity of Joule's other board members were not kept secret.

I don't have a problem with people doing business with Russians. Russians can and do invest in things just like everyone else. I have a problem with sitting elected and appointed federal government employees not fully disclosing the nature, timing and extent of their relationship with foreign organizations, most particularly foreign state run ones, when they are asked for information detailing various aspects of those relationships.
