CLINTON FOUNDATION REAPS BENEFITS
by Sharon Rondeau
(Oct. 7, 2016) — The document-disseminating website Wikileaks issued a new release on Friday night of emails sent and received by longtime Clinton operative John Podesta.
On Tuesday, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange had promised weekly releases of documents pertaining to the upcoming US elections on November 8, war, mass surveillance, and other topics over the next 10 weeks.
Assange honored his pledge to release the first batch “this week.”
In an introduction to the first group of Podesta emails, Assange writes, in part:
Today WikiLeaks begins its series on deals involving Hillary Clinton campaign Chairman John Podesta. Mr Podesta is a long-term associate of the Clintons and was President Bill Clinton’s Chief of Staff from 1998 until 2001. Mr Podesta also controls the Podesta Group, a major lobbying firm and is the Chair of the Center for American Progress (CAP), a Washington DC-based think tank. Part 1 of the Podesta Emails comprises 2,060 emails and 170 attachments and focuses on Mr Podesta’s communications relating to nuclear energy, and media handling over donations to the Clinton Foundation from mining and nuclear interests; 1,244 of the emails reference nuclear energy. The full collection includes emails to and from Hillary Clinton.
According to the remainder of the overview, Hillary Clinton, who has criticized Republican rival Donald Trump for having close ties to Russia, appears to have forged a relationship with that country through the Clinton Foundation and uranium sales reported last year by The New York Times.
In an August 8 interview with Afshin Rattansi of RT (Russia Today), Assange said that “Hillary Clinton is working so hard to tie Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin to hide her ‘many connections’ to Russia.”
At 2:04 in the video, Assange stated that “Russia has been bought up by Hillary Clinton…”, then asserted that Wikileaks’ previous releases have been 100% authentic over the organization’s ten-year history.
Last week, a conversation alleged to have taken place among White House senior staff and national security officials which included Clinton and Obama depicted Clinton asking if a drone could be dropped on Assange to stop his release of documents demonstrating U.S. government activities.
