Follow The Money: John Podesta, Tony Podesta, Paul Manafort And Rick Gates

This archived AP article says Paul Manafort and Rick Gates secretly funneled money to The Podesta Group and hired them to lobby on behalf of Ukrainians. If Manafort and Gates are guilty of not registering as foreign agents and money laundering, so are Tony and John Podesta!!

Question of the day: Did Manafort use the Podesta Group to route pro-Russian funds to the Clintons in order to secure the Uranium One deal?

Here is a written transcription of Tucker Carlson’s detailed account of allegations by an informant who claimed to have inside knowledge.

The allegations in his report, if true, indicate that Manafort allegedly was:
1) Frequently present at the Podesta Group’s offices during 2012-2014
2) A direct conduit for funneling Eastern European and Russian funds into the Podesta Group in order to, among other things, secure the Clintons’ assistance in regard to Uranium One..

This is different from way Manafort was described during August 2016. Back in Aug. 2016, the AP claimed that Manafort and Gates “directed” the activities of the Podesta group on behalf of a pro-Russian Ukrainian political party. But Carlson’s report, if correct, indicates a much closer relationship.

Covert influence campaign

Under the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act, people who lobby on behalf of foreign political leaders or political parties must provide detailed reports about their actions to the Justice Department. A violation is a felony and can result in up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

The emails illustrate how Gates worked with Mercury and the Podesta Group on behalf of Ukrainian political leaders. None of the firms, nor Manafort or Gates, disclosed their work to the Justice Department counterespionage division responsible for tracking the lobbying of foreign governments.

“There is no question that Gates and Manafort should have registered along with the lobbying firms,” said Joseph Sandler of Sandler Reiff Lamb Rosenstein & Birkenstock, a Democratic-leaning Washington law firm that advises Republican and Democratic lobbyists.

Manafort and Gates have said that they did not disclose their activities to the Justice Department because they did not oversee lobbying efforts and merely introduced the Washington firms to a Brussels-based nonprofit, the European Center for a Modern Ukraine, which they said ran the project. The center paid Mercury and the Podesta Group a combined $2.2 million over roughly two years.

The emails appear to contradict the assertion that the nonprofit’s lobbying campaign operated independently from Manafort’s firm.
In papers filed in the U.S. Senate, Mercury and the Podesta Group listed the European nonprofit as an independent, nonpolitical client. The firms said the center stated in writing that it was not aligned with any foreign political entity.

The 1938 U.S. foreign agents law is intended to track efforts of foreign government’s unofficial operatives in the United States.

Political consultants are generally leery of registering under it, because their reputations can suffer once they are on record as accepting money to advocate the interests of foreign governments — especially if those interests conflict with America’s. Moreover, registering under the law would have required Gates, Manafort or the lobbying firms to disclose the specifics of their lobbying work and their efforts to sway public opinion through media outreach.

Ina Kirsch, who runs the European nonprofit, has said the group’s work was independent and its goal was to bring Ukraine into the fold of Europe. The center has declined for years to reveal specific sources of its funding.

Gates confirmed to the AP previously that he was working for Ukraine’s ruling party, the Party of Regions, at the time.

Tucker Carlson BOMBSHELL: Podesta Brothers And Manafort, Not Trump, “Central Figures” In Mueller Probe

Incredible segment from Tucker Carlson’s show. Unbelievable!!

Tucker Carlson BOMBSHELL: Podesta Brothers And Manafort, Not Trump,

Tucker Carlson reported Tuesday night new details about the scope of Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian influence in the United States, which may be putting the Podesta brothers and Paul Manafort in Mueller’s “crosshairs.”

I’m skeptical. Mueller and part of his team helped hide details of Russian crimes in order to facilitate the Uranium One deal. Maybe they’re going after the Podestas not to prosecute them, but to grab all the evidence that could hurt Hillary Clinton, The Deep State and the DNC to see that it remains hidden. Don’t trust Mueller!

Interesting Manafort-Podesta-Obama Timeline:

Podesta receives his $35 MILLION payout from Russia in January 2011. The Uranium deal he brokered was 2010.

Not only did Clinton and Podesta take money from the Russians, Podesta was working WITH Manafort in Ukraine during Euromaidan. A job that later gets Manafort surveilled by Obama and into trouble. Podesta doesn’t get in trouble and goes on to work for the White House.

This seems like total power plays to only use intelligence when needing to take out or manipulate players.

This story gets stranger by the day. I’m compiling a timeline trying to make sense of where all the players stood at different dates.

February 7, 2010 – Yanukovych is democratically elected the President of Ukraine. He is pro Russia and by default, anti EU.

Jan. 18, 2011 a small green-energy company named Joule Unlimited announced Podesta’s appointment to its board. Months later, Rusnano, a Kremlin-backed investment fund founded by Vladimir Putin, pumped $35 million into Joule. Serving alongside Podesta on Joule’s board were senior Russian official Anatoly Chubais and oligarch Ruben Vardanyan, who has been appointed by Putin to a Russian economic modernization council.

2012 – Podesta working for Podesta group. One of the largest lobbying firms in D.C.

January 24 2013 – Clinton becomes sick and resigns. Clinton introduced John Kerry before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as hearings were held on his nomination to succeed her.

November 21, 2013 – Euromaidan (Ukraine color revolution) began on the night of 21 November 2013 with public protests in Maidan Nezalezhnosti (“Independence Square”) in Kiev, demanding closer European integration. The scope of the protests expanded, with many calls for the resignation of President Viktor Yanukovych and his government. The protests led to the 2014 Ukrainian revolution.

*protests started with Nazis (Svoboda party) marching through the streets with torches. This is suspected to be funded by Soros.

December 13th 2013 – As pro-euro (anti pro Russia president) protests continue to rock Kiev, Senator McCain is flying there to show support—the highest-ranking American official yet do so. He will speak with Svoboda leaders on the stage in Maidan square (the Nazi side).

Svoboda’s openly pro-Nazi politics have not deterred Senator John McCain from addressing a EuroMaidan rally alongside Tyahnybok, nor did it prevent Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland from enjoying a friendly meeting with the Svoboda leader this February.

December 14th 2013 – John Podesta joins Obama’s White House staff.

2013-14 – Ukraine President, Yanukovych, paid Manafort $17 million for consulting in 2013 and 2014.” Podesta group helped with this campaign and later filed late disclosures in 2017.

??? – An apparently bugged phone conversation in which a senior US diplomat disparages the EU over the Ukraine crisis has been posted online. The alleged conversation between Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and the US Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, appeared on YouTube on Thursday. It is not clearly when the alleged conversation took place.

The US says that it is working with all sides in the crisis to reach a peaceful solution, noting that “ultimately it is up to the Ukrainian people to decide their future”. However this transcript suggests that the US has very clear ideas about what the outcome should be and is striving to achieve these goals. Russian spokesmen have insisted that the US is meddling in Ukraine’s affairs – no more than Moscow, the cynic might say – but Washington clearly has its own game-plan. The clear purpose in leaking this conversation is to embarrass Washington and for audiences susceptible to Moscow’s message to portray the US as interfering in Ukraine’s domestic affairs.

Feb 2014 – Obama asst. Sec. Of State, Nuland meets with Svoboda leaders.

2014, Post Ukraine Revolution – Manafort became the subject of an FBI investigation that began in 2014. It centered on work done by a group of Washington consulting firms for Ukraine’s former ruling party, the sources told CNN.

The surveillance was discontinued at some point last year for lack of evidence, according to one of the sources.

2016 – Wiretaps of Manafort begin again once he is working on Trump’s campaign.

Mike Pence: Trump Could Rescind Congressional Exemption From ObamaCare

This needs to happen. Make these Corrupt Elitist Pigs (Pelosi, McCain, Schumer, etc) have the same Health Care as us.

Mike Pence: Trump Could Rescind Congressional Exemption From ObamaCare

In an interview with Tucker Carlson of Fox News that was aired on Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence was asked to reflect on President Trump perspective on the so-far failed efforts on the part of the Senate to produce a suitable health care reform bill.

When Carlson asked Pence, “Why should Members of Congress and their staffs have a better deal, not subject to the same rules as everybody else is?,” the Vice President answered:

“That’s pretty typical of Washington, isn’t it? You, more often than not, see one set of rules for the American people and another set of rules for the political class here in our nation’s capital. but as we move forward, the point is that whether the president makes a decision, it would be his decision whether to rescind that special treatment for members of Congress and their staffs.”

He went on to say, “What we want is a health care system that works for all of the American people.” Pence explained that one element of health care reform should be cheaper coverage. “I think the primary goal first is to give people freedom over their own health care choices again,” said Pence.

Pence said that the Trump administration intends to keep its promise to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

Back in 2013, as the January 1, 2014 implementation date for ObamaCare’s individual and employer mandates approached, members of Congress were worried less about how the law would affect their constituents than they were about how the law would affect themselves and their staffs.

From The Hill:

Of course, that’s why they sought and received this illegal subsidy in the first place. Back in 2013, as the January 1, 2014 implementation date for ObamaCare’s individual and employer mandates approached, members of Congress were worried less about how the law would affect their constituents than they were about how the law would affect themselves and their staffs. Buried in the law’s 2,000-plus pages was Section 1312(d)(3)(D), which requires members and their staffs to leave behind their generous Federal Employee Health Benefits Program health plans and instead purchase their health insurance directly through the ObamaCare exchanges, without benefit of an employer subsidy. That requirement, like the individual and employer mandates, would kick in on January 1, 2014.

After heavy lobbying by leaders of both parties on both sides of the Capitol dome, President Obama came to their rescue. He directed the Office of Personnel Management to issue a rule – now codified as 78 Fed. Reg. 60653-01 – declaring Congress itself a small business (!), the necessary subterfuge to set them up for the kicker: Because Congress was deemed a “small business,” “the DC Health Link Small Business Market administered by the DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority is the appropriate SHOP from which Members of Congress and designated congressional staff will purchase health insurance in order to receive a Government contribution.”
