Former Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta responded Friday to special counsel Robert Mueller's indictment of 12 Russian intelligence officials accused of hacking into computers owned by the Democratic Party and stealing Podesta’s emails.

“Donald Trump likes to describe this as a witch hunt," Podesta told ABC News. "Well, we just found some witches, and they were indicted."

“I think this is something that people knew that happened all along, that underlying all of this, crimes were committed, and that’s why the Mueller investigation has been so important and why it needs to be continued in an unfettered manner.”

from 2017 Daily Caller

Rep. Louie Gohmert, an outspoken House Republican from Texas, is calling for a congressional investigation of John Podesta’s role with Rusnano, a state-run company founded by Russian President Vladimir Putin

Podesta — Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign chairman and former President Bill Clinton’s White House chief of staff — first made contact with the Russian firm in 2011, when he joined the boards and executive committees of three related entities: Boston-based Joule Unlimited; Rotterdam-based Joule Global Holdings; Joule Global Stichting, the company’s controlling interest. All are high-tech renewable energy enterprises.

Three months after Podesta’s arrival, Joule Unlimited accepted a 1 billion ruble investment from Rusnano, amounting to $35 million in U.S. currency. The firm also awarded a Joule board seat in February 2012 to Anatoly Chubais, Rusnano’s CEO, who has been depicted as a corrupt figure.

After Podesta began working at the White House, his lawyer indicated in a Jan. 6, 2014 email that he had not yet finished the legal work on the private transfer of the stock to a family-owned entity called Leonido Holdings, LLC.

Chubais, Russia’s deputy prime minister in the 1990s, owed his personal fortunes to Bill Clinton, who embraced him as a “reformer” in former President Boris Yeltsin’s government. Clinton’s ally instead created a new generation of tycoons who today rule Russia.

Rusnano appears to have been a leader in the Russian investment move into the United States. Chubais created a Rusnano “investment fund” and set up a so-called “Russian Innovation Center” in tony Silicon Valley, according to the Neas lawsuit.

The company opened shop in Palo Alto called DJF Venture Fund, a venture capital fund advised the Russian company.

Rusnano targeted Boston where Joule’s U.S. operations were centered. In 2010, Chubais joined a Rusnano “road show” and gave a presentation at MIT. A Rusnano managing director also addressed the Harvard Faculty Club.

An Oct. 5, 2011 Rusnano PowerPoint presentation by Dmitry Akhanov, Rusnano USA president, promised American businessmen “cheap money.” Rusnano dangled $4.6 billion in government contributions and $5.7 billion in state guarantees.

Rusnano was a special company formed by decree at the direction of Putin. A small group of Putin cronies called the “Kooperative Ozero” masterminded the takeover of big swaths of the Russian economy.

The Ozero group are eight men — including Putin — who owned expensive dachas on a lake outside of St. Petersburg. They now run state-owned banks, the news media and oil and gas companies.

“Chubais was in charge of the whole privatization process during the 1990’s under Yeltsin which was notoriously corrupt,” he told TheDCNF. “Billions of dollars in property changed hands under conditions that were unethical, illegal, criminal.

Nunes also said that the latest Mueller indictments were very misleading, making it appear that only Democrats were targeted by 'russia'. Republicans were targeted also,

He also said that the indictments had nothing new in them. It was all is the report issued by his committee, except, redacted, courtesy of DOJ.

With Russian meddling back in the news, we wonder about closed SF consulate

https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/With-Russian-meddling-back-in-the-news-we-wonder-13074407.php

As President Trump sits down for his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday, the fate of the Russian consulate in San Francisco that he closed nearly a year ago remains a mystery.

The Trump administration abruptly ordered the closure of the consulate on Green Street in Pacific Heights last August, after Putin ordered a reduction of American personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow in response to sanctions imposed by Congress.

Soon, smoke was seen billowing from from the consulate’s chimney, prompting neighbors to speculate that the staff was busy destroying top-secret documents.

“For many decades, U.S. officials have been keenly aware that, because of the consulate’s proximity to Silicon Valley, educational institutions such as Stanford and (UC) Berkeley, and the large number of nearby defense contractors and researchers — including two Energy Department-affiliated nuclear weapons laboratories — Russia has used San Francisco as a focal point for espionage activity,” Zach Dorfman wrote in the December 2017 issue of Foreign Policy magazine.

the U.S. State Department confirms that it “is securing and maintaining” the Green Street property, as well as other closed Russian facilities.

“Those buildings that are owned by the Russians will continue to be owned by the Russians,” a statement said, “but they are no longer authorized for diplomatic or consular activities.”
