It was only a matter of time before it surfaced that Hillary Clinton had been linked to this week’s massive Panama Papers news story.
Clinton, who is inches from clinching the Democratic nomination, apparently has connections to a billionaire and a Russian banked, according to a discovery from the Washington Free Beacon. Clinton has a link to these through lobbying initiatives: one as part of a Clinton-related lobbying outlet and another one through Sidney Blumenthal.
So, who are the players? Clinton is reportedly linked to Russia’s biggest financial institution, Sberbank, and Podesta Group, a lobbying firm that was co-founded by John Poedsta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, and his brother, Tony.
Reportedly, Sberbank had registered with the Podesta Group in March to lobby on matters in relation to economic sanctions against the Russian Federation as well as on bond and stock trading for its various American clients.
It should be noted that Clinton isn’t directly named in any offshore bank accounts created by Mossack Fonseca, the Panamanian law firm. However, it just continues to show the cronyist ties that Clinton has and the numerous financial relationships she maintains with unscrupulous individuals and entities.
At the time of this writing, Clinton hasn’t commented on these findings.
Rabelrouser says
Nor will she “comment” on these findings; and if she does, it will be to claim another “Right Wing Conspiracy” against her.
I can understand her dealings with the russian bank, sence she was instramental in russia buying most of this nations uranium from locations in Oregon.
Oh yeah, where that stand off took place, and a citizen was murdered and many others were arrested by the FBI, not local authorities.
