Dem Super-Lobbyist Podesta Got $170K to End US Sanctions On Russian Bank

DC:

Democrat super-lobbyist Tony Podesta was paid $170,000 over a six-month period last year to represent Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank, seeking to end one of the Obama administration’s economic sanctions against that country, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned.

Podesta, founder and chairman of the Podesta Group, is listed as a key lobbyist on behalf of Sberbank, according to Senate lobbying disclosure forms. His firm received more than $24 million in fees in 2016, much of it coming from foreign governments, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.

Podesta is the brother of John Podesta, who was the national campaign chairman for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s losing 2016 campaign for the presidency.

  1. If I were a Democrat, I would put the lid on any further accusations and allegations of Russian influence and money because the actual abuses seem to continually boomerang on Democrats. This would be particularly true because Donald Trump is not known to defend, but to attack.

    But as a citizen, I want to see all of this laundry aired. If there is unlawful foreign influence at play, I want to see it exposed whether or not Democrats, Republicans or independents are involved.

  2. Typical shakedown.
    Obola “sanctions” the bank.
    The bank hires someone recommended by Obola and/or Secretary of State.
    Bank “donates” a lot of money to the Clinton Foundation (or some other favorite “charity”).
    The banks newly bought “agent” gets “sanctions” lifted.
    Wow! Nobody could see through that! What a clever group of grifters!
    Same old … same old …

    izlamo delenda est …

  3. Putin obviously was successful in affecting the outcome of the election….Hillary won the popular vote by over 3 million; amazing what selling 20% of our uranium to the Soviets in capitalist clothing (or shilling for one of their banks) can do!
