[Bread and Circus]

A billionaire and a Russia-controlled bank named in the Panama Papers have links to Hillary Clinton through two separate lobbying efforts — one through a Clinton-connected lobbying firm and another through Sidney Blumenthal.

Clinton is linked to Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank, through Podesta Group, a lobbying firm co-founded by Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta and his brother, Tony Podesta, a major Clinton bundler.

1. Daily Caller! LOL.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. The Daily Caller? Really?

It might be true but I'd rather hear it from a credible, not right
-wing source

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. McClatchy has this info

and they will release it.

When they do, what is in the OP is what I thought would likely be it. Now Sidney... my god that guy is tied to every scandal known to man... boy, oh boy.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. That's better. I just hate to see that rag, The Daily Caller, linked here.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. They took their story from THESE GUYS

who are part of the contortion that has been working on this shit

https://www.occrp.org/en/panamapapers/persons/

I do shit like that. What the fuck are you linking to? I do not care if that is the Daily Caller or Blue Nation Review, or the WAPO... I quite frankly do not feel like printing the two news stories the DC is linking to to check on them tonight. But I will probably have to sooner or later.

3. Jeez, if Clinton supporter posted about Sanders' love affair with Russia, you'd call it red baiting

[Politicalboi]

4. This will be in reputable site soon

The Panama Papers is just the start. Hillary supporters wouldn't accept this is Rachel herself said it. They must be tired of covering for Hillary. Just think how much effort they will need if she's prez. Defending the indefensible. Have at it Hillary supporters.

11. Hillary is so sleazy.

[Dragonfli]

5. Likely true but you need a more trustworthy source, I would self delete and wait for another source

Just a suggestion.

[HassleCat]

6. Degrees of separation

Some of the crooks work for multiple people, various organizations, etc. Unless there are transactions, specific transactions, to provide some context for these relationships, it doesn't mean much.

[MattP]

7. Is this six degrees of Hillary?

[MattP]

8. What about Bernies ties to Monsanto?

Bernie has connections to tad davine who worked for Monsanto who also worked for Al Gore who won a Oscar who shook hands with Kevin Bacon!!

[Vattel]

9. Meh. She knows someone who works for someone whose cousin married Putin's mailman.

[potone]

14. This doesn't sound like much to run with.

She knows a lot of people. Unless she has some account that is part of the investigation, I don't think mere association with people who do means anything. I want Bernie to win, but not through false allegations, nor would he want to. He has integrity.

[TheBlackAdder]

15. Yes, Let's follow the money... Actual inbred oil (Koch/BP) relationships, like Hillary's Podesta.

Hillary Clinton rakes in money from fossil fuel interests

Here’s just a partial list of the fossil fuel–friendly bundlers who raised money for Clinton from April through June:

http://grist.org/climate-energy/hillary-clinton-rakes-in-money-from-fossil-fuel-interests/

Heather Podesta and Tony Podesta have raised $31,150 and $74,575, respectively. The power ex-couple are big-shot Democratic lobbyists. Tony’s brother John is Clinton’s campaign chair and former White House chief of staff to Bill Clinton. Even though John Podesta is considered a climate hawk, Tony and his ex-wife Heather represent fossil fuel companies. Heather’s recent past clients include Marathon Oil and Bill Koch’s Oxbow Carbon, a coal giant, and from 2004 to 2006 she lobbied for Koch Industries. Tony lobbied for BP in the wake of its disastrous Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, and through last year he represented Golden Pass, a company co-owned by ExxonMobil and Qatar Petroleum that wants to export liquefied natural gas. To be fair, they also work on behalf of renewable fuel companies — Tony represents SolarReserve, a solar power company, and Heather lobbies for the ethanol industry. You might call the Podestas the very embodiment of the Obama/Clinton “all of the above” energy policy.

But the contrast between her and her opponents is clear, and it’s indicative of real policy differences. O’Malley has laid out a set of strong, detailed proposals to combat climate change. These include not just measures Obama has begun taking, like regulating carbon emissions under the Clean Air Act, but ones he hasn’t, like adopting zero-tolerance regulation for methane leaks from oil and gas wells and denying new offshore oil leasing permits. Clinton has not endorsed any stances beyond Obama’s except for charging more for coal leases.

“Hillary Clinton’s position is stuck in the past,” says Jamie Henn, a spokesperson for 350 Action. “We have the tools to transition away from fossil fuels. What about all the jobs lost because of climate impacts? We need a president who is willing to make tough decisions about how to transition our economy in the face of climate risk.”
