Maria Bartiromo Was Right – John Podesta Lied about Russia Ties – Time to Open an Investigation

Hillary Clinton’s former campaign manager John Podesta Lied to Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo last week when confronted about his ties to Russia.

Bartiromo brought up Podesta’s ties to the Russians and Podesta said he had none.  Bartiromo also brought up how the Democrats have stronger ties to the Russians.

Maria Bartiromo pointed out to Podesta that it is the DEMOCRATS who have deeper and stronger ties to Russia:

John, I gotta ask you about your own ties to Russian entities. You joined the board of a small energy company in 2011, 2 months later a Russia entity directly funded by the Kremlin invested $35 million in the company. You were given 75,000 shares in a Russian company which you failed to disclose when you became an Obama associate.”

Of course John Podesta came unhinged after he was actually asked a tough question by someone in the media and immediately denied it.  He answered:

Maria that’s not true. I fully disclosed it and was fully compliant…and by the way I divested before I went to the White House…”

Bartiromo was not letting John Podesta off the hook easy. She immediately said,

But where did you divest it, John? Why do people say you divested to your adult children?”

Podesta became visibly angry and accused Bartiromo of

picking through his emails that were stolen by the Russians and released by Wikileaks.”

Maria Bartiromo slammed him over his lies and ties to the Russians. She even brought up Hillary Clinton’s Uranium One deal, selling 20% of U.S. Uranium to Russia while she was SoS.

It’s unknown how many lies Podesta made during the interview. 

What we do know is that WikiLeaks has stated that they did not obtain Podesta’s emails from the Russians.  We also know that DNC staffer Seth Rich who was murdered last year reportedly did provide emails to WikiLeaks.  We also know that Podesta wrote in an email last year as released by WikiLeaks that he “would love an example being made” [of a leaker] which causes many to think he was involved in Rich’s murder.

We also know from these same emails that Podesta was in cahoots with the media. At least 65 MSM reporters were meeting with and/or coordinating offline with top Hillary advisers. The emails also showed that as early as December 2015 Podesta discussed Trump’s “bromance with Putin” and the potential for using it as a means to slander Trump.

We also know that Podesta went on a bloody rampage in another recent interview about the election.  In the interview he clearly projected himself onto President Trump:

Donald Trump is “unfit for office,” a president whose actions are often “absolutely crazy” and whose White House has “a complete disregard for the truth.”

We know from Podesta’s own emails that Hillary Clinton bragged about being invited to “Putin’s inner sanctum“.  We also know that Podesta did exercise 75,000 stock options and as a result gained “75,000 common shares” as a result of being a member of the executive board of energy company, Joule Unlimited.  We also know that Joule Unlimited received millions from a Putin-connected Russian government fund and that Podesta did transfer to his daughter, Megan Rouse, his shares of common stock in this company.

Again, we do not know the number of times that Podesta lied in his interview with Maria Bartiromo.

Andrew Breitbart, the founder of Breitbart News, was not a fan of John Podesta as can be seen in the following video (warning on language):

It’s time that the Democrats and in particular Podesta and the Clintons are brought to justice for their illegal activities, not only related to the Russians in last year’s election.
