  "WikiLeaks has released 2,050 emails from Clinton campaign chairman John
   Podesta, in what they said was "the first of well over 50,000."

   The emails include paid speeches from Hillary Clinton, in which she
   boasted to private audiences that she was for "open trade and open
   borders" and admitted to being "kind of removed from the middle class."
   
   The leak also contains opposition research on Clinton's main primary
   challenger, Senator Bernie Sanders, in which the campaign plotted to
   smear Sanders as a "sexist" with "extreme views on women," as well as
   accuse his supporters of harassing women on the internet.  The "Bernie
   Bros" smear, which did exactly that, became a major narrative of the
   Clinton campaign during the Democratic primary.
   
   This could be the beginnings of WikiLeaks' "October Surprise," a
   long-anticipated release of emails from the Clinton campaign, that
   WikiLeaks and Assange have hinted at previously
   
   Obersvers were disappointed earlier this week when a major press event
   with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was not accompanied by a Clinton
   email leak. Some in the press said WikiLeaks "failed to deliver." Those
   criticisms may well dissipate if the information in today's leak is
   significant enough.
   
   WikiLeaks has already had a major impact on the presidential race.
   Their release of emails from the Democratic National Committee at the
   time of the Democrats' party convention, showing DNC collusion against
   the Bernie Sanders campaign, led to the resignation of DNC chairman
   Debbie Wesserman Schultz.
   
   Julian Assange has previously said that he also has material on
   Republican candidate Donald Trump, but also noted that his information
   is "no worse" than anything Trump says publicly.

John Podesta
ELECTION 2016
RUSSIA? LOOK WHO'S REALLY IN BED WITH MOSCOW
Hillary campaign chief, Clinton Foundation, in deep on international money-laundering
by JEROME R. CORSI , Published: 24 hours ago [Fri Oct 7, 2016]

   NEW YORK – Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign manager, John
   Podesta, was on the executive board of a client of the Panamanian law
   firm Mossack Fonseca, which is at the heart of the the Panama Papers
   investigation into massive global offshore money-laundering.
   
   The company for which Podesta served as a board member, Joule, also
   received $35 million from a Putin-connected Russian government fund at
   the same time then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spearheaded the
   transfer of U.S. advanced technology, some with military uses, as part
   of her "reset" strategy with Russia, according to a report titled "From
   Russia With Money," released in August by the Government Accountability
   Institute. "Clinton Cash" author Peter Schweizer is president of GAI,
   and Steve Bannon, the CEO of the Trump campaign, is a director.
   
   The Clintons' corruption is exposed in Jerome Corsi"s "Partners in
   Crime: The Clintons' Scheme to Monetize the White House for Personal
   Profit," available at the WND Superstore!
   
   The Russian entities that funneled money to Joule and its related
   companies, and ultimately to Podesta, include a controversial Russian
   investor with ties to the Russian government, Viktor Vekselberg, and
   his Renova Group, a Russian conglomerate with interests in oil, energy
   and telecommunication.
   
   Vekselberg is a board member of Rusnano, the Russian State Investment
   Fund, as well as president of the Skolkovo Foundation, named for
   Russia's version of Silicon Valley.
   
   Rusnano made a multi-million dollar in Joule Unlimited, a small
   Massachusetts-based energy company owned by Joule Global Holdings B.V.
   in the Netherlands, and Joule Global Stichting, the ultimate
   controlling entity.
   
   Podesta, it turns out, has been paid an undisclosed amount for serving
   on the executive board of Joule Global Stichting, which he neglected to
   report to regulatory authorities in the U.S. He also has received
   consulting fees from the Wyss Foundation, a group controlled by Swiss
   billionaire Hansjoerg Wyss, an investor in Joule Energy.
   
   To complete the circle, Vekselberg, the Renova Group, the Skolkovo
   Foundation and Wyss all have ties to the Clinton Foundation, either as
   substantial donors or as participants in the Clinton Global Initiative.
   
   Joule Global Stichting and Joule Global Holdings figure prominently as
   a client of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, which is at the
   heart of the Panama Papers investigation into offshore money-laundering
   operations on a massive international scale.
   
   John Podesta's brother, Tony Podesta, runs the firm that got $180,000
   from Uranium One, the Russian government's uranium company to which
   Hillary Clinton transferred 20 percent of U.S. uranium.
   
   Schweizer's "Clinton Cash" documents Uranium One funneled millions to
   the Clinton Foundation as the Russian government gained ownership of
   the company.
   
   Hillary 'reset' and Podesta's unreported gains
   
   John Podesta's personal role in Clinton Foundation offshore banking
   operations is demonstrated in the major technology transfer from the
   United States to Russia conducted as part of Hillary Clinton's "reset"
   policy. The move greatly enhanced the Russian military's technological
   capacities, according to both the FBI and the U.S. Army.
   
   The Russia report's executive summary lays out the case against Podesta:

   - Russian government officials and American corporations participated in
     the technology transfer project overseen by Hillary Clinton's State
     Department that funneled tens of millions of dollars to the Clinton
     Foundation.
   - A Putin-connected Russian government fund transferred $35 million to a
     small company with Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta on
     its executive board, which included senior Russian officials.
   - Podesta failed to reveal, as required by law on his federal financial
     disclosures, his membership on the board of this offshore company.
   - Podesta also headed up a think tank that wrote favorably about the
     Russian reset while apparently receiving millions from Kremlin-linked
     Russian oligarchs via an offshore LLC.
   
   In June and July 2011, while he was advising Clinton on State
   Department policy, Podesta joined the boards of Joule Unlimited, Joule
   Global Holdings and Joule Global Stichting.
   
   The Government Accountability Institute report noted Joule was a new
   company, founded in 2007, pioneering a technology based on harnessing
   solar energy. Podesta consulted for a foundation run by one of the
   investors in Joule Energy, Hansjoerg Wyss, who in turn was a major
   Clinton Foundation donor.
   
   The report documented the Wyss Foundation has given from $1 million to
   $5 million to the Clinton Foundation. Podesta was paid $87,000 by the
   Wyss Foundation in 2013, according to federal tax records.

   In his 2014 federal government disclosure filing, Podesta declared he
   divested stock options from Joule, but the disclosure does not cover
   the years 2011-2012.
   
   Joule Global Stichting was established in Amsterdam on March 14, 2011.
   
   Podesta joined the company's executive board on June 25, 2011. Joule
   Stichting is a foundation, but it's not strictly a foundation in the
   charitable sense. A foundation of this type, a Dutch Stichting, is a
   popular means for reducing one's tax burden, as noted on the website of
   the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca.
   
   The Government Accountability Institute concluded that although Podesta
   is listed on the corporate records, he failed to disclose his
   membership on the board of Joule Stichting in his federal financial
   disclosure forms when he joined the Obama White House as a senior
   adviser.
   
   Russian government invests
   
   Two months after Podesta joined the board, the Russian government
   investment fund Rusnano, the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies,
   founded by Vladimir Putin in 2007, announced it would invest up to $35
   million in Joule Unlimited.
   
   On Aug. 1, Bannon and Schweizer co-authored a Breitbart.com article
   titled "Report: Hillary Clinton's Campaign Manager John Podesta Sat on
   Board of Company that Bagged $35 million from Putin-Connected Russian
   Government Fund."
   
   "The GAI investigative report says it's unclear how much, if any, money
   Podesta made. The reason: Podesta was on the board of three Joule
   entities, but only listed two on his disclosure; the most important
   entity, Joule Stichting, he did not list," Bannon and Schweizer noted.
   "Why Podesta failed to reveal, as required by law on his federal
   financial disclosures, his membership on the board of this offshore
   company is presently unknown."
   
   Bannon and Schweizer further reported flows of funds from Russia during
   the "reset" to Podesta-connected entities apparently didn't end with
   Joule Energy, as Podesta's far-left think tank, Center for American
   Progress, CAP, took in $5.25 million from the Sea Change Foundation
   between 2010 and 2013. The Sea Change Foundation, it turns out, ties
   into various entities specifically named and investigated in the Panama
   Papers, including Klein Ltd. and Troika Dialog Ltd.
   
   Here is what the Government Accountability Institute report had to say
   about the Sea Change Foundation:
   
      Who was funding Sea Change Foundation? According to tax records, Sea
      Change Foundation at the time was receiving a large infusion of funds
      from a mysterious Bermuda-based entity called 'Klein, Ltd.' ... Who owns
      Klein? It is impossible to say exactly, given corporate secrecy laws in
      Bermuda. But the registered agent and lawyers who set up the offshore
      entity are tied to a handful of Russian business entities including
      Troika Dialog, Ltd. Leadership includes Ruben Vardanyan, an ethnic
      Armenian who is a mega oligarch in Putin's Russia. Vardanyan also
      served on the board of Joule Energy with John Podesta.
   
   "Why Hillary Clinton's State Department and her campaign manager were
   tied up in this raises serious questions that demand answers and
   transparency," Bannon and Schweizer concluded.
