Here is the game they were playing.
Russia sold 17% of Rosneft to Qatar (bankroll) with a cut to Glencore (Hillary and friends).
Obama, Biden, and others had already arranged for China to buy the Qatar portion.
Meanwhile, the CF was working to bribe a few African countries for drilling rights.
China would buy Rosneft off Qatar, and then instantly get drilling concessions from the Aftrican countries.
It would send Rosneft shares through the roof.
Everyone profits.
