    Something you will not see on the Alphabet news channels. Seems John Podesta has ties to the Russians, before the election Podesta allegedly didn't report his financial dealings with a Russian bank.
    [from article] "John Podesta is facing jail time after it was revealed the former Clinton campaign manager broke federal law by covering up the fact he owned tens of thousands of shares in a Russian bank."

    Podesta is not in the white house, and neither is HRC.

    Trump is. The Russian story has legs. It's off and running, regardless of how a few butthurt trumpophiles feel about it.

    If he faces jail time form not reporting that, what do Flynn and Sessions face ?

    So only "people in the Whitehouse" have to follow the law?

    Very true.

    And, how many threads do we need about this?

    What is this? About the 10th one?

    I would hope that people would make some effort to do a search to avoid duplicate threads that clutter up the board.

    But, yeah, no one cares about Podesta. He isn't President.

    This story is just a distraction from the pro-Trump Fever Swamp to deflect from the train wreck that Trump is facing.

    Clinton was a Senator and Secretary of State and she committed felons while in office. She should be in jail.

    Aphotic meant that the people in power are the bigger story. And I don't know why you would even ask that question since the article explicitly says Podesta is facing jail time over it. To echo grapeape, what does that mean should happen to the folks in Trump's circle?

    Flynn did nothing wrong except lie to Pence. Sessions did nothing wrong at all. You'd be hard pressed to find a crime in either case, but you knew that.

    I believe in you do the crime you do the time... Dont think you can get me on partisan BS. We heard the same thing once Hilary was not elected.... She isnt in the WH so who cares type of nonsense.

    Nothing? What is the penalty for breaking no laws. I believe it's nothing.

    Not sure about that, never seen a thread about Podesta and Russian bank stock ownership and failure to report it, a crime. Enlighten me, if there are 10 threads about it I didn't see them.
    Goose and gander thing. Podesta et al thought the Beast would win in a landslide and didn't think something like owning stock in a Russian bank would ever surface or see the light of day. He's as corrupt as the Beast.

    Podesta who? Is he currently part of the federal government and responsible for making decisions concerning US national security?

    If not, why should we care?

    Because he created a major crime and should be prosecuted for it.

    Oh, that's right. You don't know who Podesta is. He was the head of the Democratic National Committee and Democrat Hilary Clinton's #1 staffer.

    Hey, if you feel he committed a crime, feel free to provide evidence. If there is evidence, then investigate. I couldn't care less.

    See how easy that is?

    Running? I haven't seen anything substantive for weeks. The story reminds me more of "Weekend at Bernie's

    Right. So how did the multiple investigations go after Rove et al deleted up to 22,000,000 emails from the Bush Admins private server hosted by the RNC?

    Seriously, I don't particularly care for Mr. Trump. But you liberals have definitely gone off the rails trying to bring him down.

    Typical , he is a Democrat. You don't care how corrupt they are . That's the problem with you democrats ! Simple , how's that . Oh by the way , it's not my job to investigate . The Free Press should have been all over it . But they too are Democrats. See the BULLSHIT that goes on. Notice any difference in the coverage ?

    The Podesta/Russia/Putin company received 1 billion (with a B) rubles after Podesta was put on the board of directors.
