During a heated Fox Business interview with Maria Bartiromo, Hillary Clinton's former campaign chief John Podesta made a series of misleading statements when questioned about his involvement in a company that received $35 million from the Russian government while Clinton served as secretary of state.
According to his own financial disclosure form, Podesta only listed two of the three entities that made up Joule Unlimited, failing to disclose his presence on the board of the Dutch-registered Stichting Joule Global Foundation.
Notice the rhetorical sleight of tongue there: Joule is based in Massachusetts, not Russia, making Podesta's statement technically true.
Rusnano's investment in Joule was in part to develop a manufacturing facility in Russia.
In short, Clinton's top campaign chief and a senior counselor to Obama sat on Joule's board alongside top Russian officials as Putin's Kremlin-backed investment fund funneled $35 million into Joule.
When Bartiromo asked Podesta whether his closed-door session in front of the House Intelligence Committee included questions about his Russian ties and Joule, Podesta punted: "I have already told you that I was asked not to talk about specific questions, and I said I would respect that."
After the slippery answers Podesta delivered during his explosive Fox Business interview, US officials have more reasons than ever to demand answers about John Podesta, Joule Unlimited and Putin's Rusnano investment fund.
