Russian Ties: John Podesta Failed To Disclose 75,000 Stock Shares From Kremlin-Financed Company

Podesta sat on the board of Joule Unlimited. The article doesn't indicate he personally owned 75,000 shares of anything.

Joule Unlimited appears to be a Massachuetts company. The 75,000 shares referenced appear to be shares of Joule, an American company, being transferred to a partnership. An ordinary financial transaction for big companies.

Joule Unlimited is also in a partnership with Audi, a foreign company (Germany).

Nothing in that article cites any evidence that Russia contributed any funding to Joule. Even if it did, it would have been legal, and not funding to Podesta personally.

Joule Unlimited is an alternative energy company.

The financial world is global. If you own shares in a mutual fund, you own shares of stocks from around the world, probably. If you bought shares of Toyota or Nestle or Ali-baba, you owned part of a foreign company.


this guy above explains it better than I could... Podesta Owned 75,000 Shares in Putin-Connected Company...
 
Also read somewhere 6 months ago when this came out, they wre stock option shares that had not hit the point of being able to exercise the option, when he divested himself from the company before going to work for Obama
