EXCLUSIVE: John Podesta May Have Been Target Of Russian ‘Influence Campaign’Podesta’s silence is particularly striking, according to retired Air Force Col. James Waurishuk.
“We haven’t heard very much from Podesta lately, particularly on the subject of Russia’s interference in the elections,” Waurishuk told TheDCNF. He served on the National Security Council and worked on “information operations” for military intelligence.
“And so, what a perfect opportunity,” Hosko said.
Similarly, an American who lived for decades in St. Petersburg, Russia, said Americans there were always aware of being targeted by Russians for influence campaigns.
“Hell, they knew I worked on the [George H.W.] Bush presidential campaign in ‘88 and they worked me like crazy,” the American told TheDCNF. He asked for anonymity because he still conducts business in Russia.
“Of course, it’s what they do,” he added. “The higher level they can ‘befriend,’ the higher is their reward for them.”
Podesta was a star catch.
He was White House chief of staff for President Clinton and was senior counselor and close friend of President Barack Obama.
The advisor’s close associations with Russian business leaders started in 2011, when agreed to join the boards of three intertwined companies: Boston-based Joule Unlimited, Rotterdam-based Joule Global Holdings and Joule Global Stichting, the company’s controlling interest. Stichting was based in The Hague.
