Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta’s membership on the executive board of an energy company, Joule Unlimited, which received millions from a Putin-connected Russian government fund, also included “75,000 common shares,” according to an email exchange uncovered by the Wikileaks hacks.

WOW! Democrats tied in with Putin.....what a shocker!

And yet...according to the Hillary campaign...Trump is the one in Putin's pocket.

The Hillary hypocrisy never ceases.

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.

Trump I'm certain owns parts of companies from around the world. Romney actually owned the brick and mortar businesses he bought in China and other countries.

Breitbart either doesn't know much about financial matters, or he's in meltdown mode, too.

I would think truthfulness would be best, if your guy has something to be proud of enough for him to win. Surely you factcheck what partisan sites say, don't you? Apparently not. That story is just that - a fictional story. Pathetic.

Never does. And people here are blind to it or don't care.

If you think for one minute that Clinton is above the fray..................I don't buy. The Clintons, Podesta, Kerry and many others are all crooks, scoundrels and shylocks!
The obama Regime sold us out with that crappy deal with Iran........and it's only temporary while Iran regroups and build more nukes.

Instead of a bribe and payoffs, it should have been bombs....but those cowards in the WH don't have the stomach for it...or the balls to execute it. If Hillary wins next month, America is doomed ...........and people here and abroad who would vote for her, don't have the common sense they were born with.

It's typical. Like I've said before, whenever leftists accuse their opponent of something, you can rest assure they are the guilty party, not their opponent. They can't hide their corruption any longer.
 
OMG, what a cad he is.

I heard he once walked on the same sidewalk Putin walked on. How horrible.

The Russophobia has reached fever pitch in this country, thanks to the media and the Pentagon.

I suppose if Hillary's car ever gets keyed, if she ever loses her phone or her purse, she will blame Putin.

Don't try to change the subject. The OP is about Podesta and 75,000 shares of "Russian funding" or something...which seems to be false, from a reading of the article.
