Tony Podesta, Given Immunity by Mueller Gang, Now Making Millions from Chinese Telecom Company Huawei

The Daily Caller reports:

Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta has earned at least $1 million to lobby the White House on behalf of Huawei, a Chinese technology and telecommunications company blacklisted under the Trump administration.

Podesta, brother of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman John Podesta, received $500,000 from Huawei to lobby the Executive Office of the President between October and December of 2021, according to lobbying disclosures filed late Thursday. Huawei first hired Podesta in July 2021 and paid the long-time Democrat operative $500,000 to lobby the White House from July to September 2021.

Here’s the filing:

Tony Podesta previously did some work for Huawei where he managed to prevent a Huawei executive from being extradited after lobbying the Biden gang.

Before this, we last heard of Tony Podesta during the criminal Mueller investigation. The Podesta brothers worked with Paul Manafort in Ukraine. Manafort actually worked for them. But when Mueller went after President Trump, his team gave Tony Podesta immunity and put Manafort, who was President Trump’s campaign manager for a short period of time, in solitary confinement.

Tony Podesta also did work in Turkey, the same work as General Flynn, and Flynn was indicted while Podesta walked free.

Now Tony Podesta is making millions for a Chinese corporation that has conflicts with US national security.

Let’s face it Biden’s gang doesn’t care about national security. They care about money.

Jack Ma's Ant Group Implicated In Major Corruption Scandal Involving Ex-CCP Official

Way back in 2019, long before Alibaba founder Jack Ma's falling out with the CCP (or, we should say, when the strains in their relationship were far less visible in the business press), we reported the following prediction from Hayman Capital's Kyle Bass: That Jack Ma would be "jailed, or disappeared" shortly after stepping down as Alibaba's chairman.

When Ma abruptly disappeared after the CCP sabotaged the (Ma-led) IPO for Ant Group, Alibaba's financial arm that had become widely used within the Chinese market, we feared the worst.

And even though Ma eventually resurfaced, things have never been the same for a man who was once China's wealthiest man. What's worse is that it marked the beginning of a CCP crackdown on China's burgeoning tech industry that continues to this day.

While shares of Alibaba have staged a modest comeback off their lows, Ma has unfortunately bounced from one troubling allegation to the next. The latest has arrived courtesy of Chinese state broadcaster CCTV, which has published a report implicating Ma's Ant Group in a wide-ranging corruption scandal - a charge that has been known to carry the death penalty in the PRC.

The documentary didn't name Ant, but it alluded to the company, which was founded in Hangzhou. But it did further implicate a family member of a high-ranking CCP official, who was arrested back in August. As a result, Ant Group received "discounts" on plots of real-estate and other "government policy" support.

Here's more from the FT, which published its own report on the CCTV documentary:

A documentary on state-run China Central Television alleged that private companies made “unreasonably high payments” to the brother of the former Chinese Communist party head of Hangzhou, an eastern city that is home to Ant Group’s headquarters, in return for government policy incentives and support with buying real estate.

According to public records and two sources close to the deals, a unit of Ant Group bought two plots of land at a discount in Hangzhou in 2019 after taking stakes in two mobile payment businesses owned by the party secretary’s younger brother that were named in the documentary.

While the documentary did not name Jack Ma’s company, the Ant unit was the only external corporate investor in one of these businesses, according to the public records, and was among three corporate investors in the second.

"The nature of such a transfer of interests is an exchange of power and capital," said the documentary, produced by the Communist party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Material aired by China’s state broadcaster represents the official party line.

French Cannibal Who Ate Farmer’s Organs With A Side Of Beans Escapes From Psych Ward

A French cannibal who murdered a farmer and ate his organs with a side of white beans escaped from a psych ward in Southern France on Wednesday, the New York Post reported.

Jeremy Rimbaud, 34, was serving a life sentence in the psychiatric hospital after murdering 90-year-old farmer Leopold Pedebidau in November 2011, the NYP reported. Rimbaud reportedly cut out Pedebidau’s tongue and heart and ate the organs with a side of beans.

Rimbaud also attacked a woman walking her dog and beat her with a stick after fleeing the psych ward, according to the NYP. He reportedly struck the woman until bystanders intervened and chased him off.

“She was absolutely terrified,” a law enforcement source said, according to the NYP. “It was only later that she was told that she had been attacked by a known cannibal.”

Authorities apprehended Rimbaud shortly after he escaped and returned him to the hospital.

Rimbaud, a former soldier in Afghanistan, was diagnosed with schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in the military, according to the NYP. Officials busted Rimbaud after he tried to kill a second farmer.

Officials have launched an official investigation to determine how Rimbaud was able to break out of the hospital, the NYP reported.
