BBC: 'Putin is corrupt' says US Treasury
The US Treasury has told a BBC investigation that it considers Russian President Vladimir Putin to be corrupt.
The US government has already imposed sanctions on Mr Putin's aides, but it is thought to be the first time it has directly accused him of corruption.
His spokesman told the BBC that "none of these questions or issues needs to be answered, as they are pure fiction".
Last week a UK public inquiry said Mr Putin had "probably" approved the murder of ex-spy Alexander Litvinenko.

WNU Editor: Unfortunately .... there is nothing that anyone can do about it .... for now. In the end .... it is going to be Russia itself that will have to deal with this legacy .... a prospect that I am sure Putin is very nervous about.
Who isn't corrupt these days....

DeleteMitch turkey vulture McConnell is working on a bill to give the administration unlimited military power's giving away Congress authority to declare war .how about that for corruption.
WNU Editor,
ReplyDeleteThe Fed has a long history of collusion and corruption on behalf of the Banksters and the Wolves of Wall Street,
enough to make them "experts" on corruption,
but it does kind of rob them of the moral authority to point fingers.
Shouldn't they be investigating their own corruption, not Putin's?
I hope some western "journalist" doesn't screw up and write a positive story about Russia or Putin. The poor SOB would be out of work tout suite.
ReplyDeleteJay. At times like this I like to quote Buddha. Point a finger at someone, you are pointing three at yourself.
ReplyDeleteWNU Editor,
DeletePersonally, I consider it to be much "worse" than finger pointing.
The Fed has a legal responsibility to investigate and regulate Banking, and shares responsibility to investigate and regulate Wall Street,
Which they are doing a piss poor job of, closer to aiding and abetting than regulating,
And they waste time and money producing a propaganda piece on Putin?

Si-vis-passen,
DeleteOne would have to dig deep into the links, and double check for firewalls and second source confirmation, but it's pretty clear, given the Global Ogliarchy, that there is an unhealthy level of collusion and cooperation.

That is what I meant Jay. The US Treasury is pointing their finger at Putin .... but ignore what is happening in their own house. But I guess that is exactly what they want everyone's attention to be focused on.

ReplyDeleteJay,
ReplyDeleteThe Fed are like the Pentagon. They are beholden to the politicians. The main group in charge would be the Democraps.
I have picked my favorite fed based on how accurately they report.
Have a nice day.
WNU,
ReplyDeleteWhy would Putin be corrupt?
I am not doubting it.
But unless he passes it on to his children, he can only live so well. So he only needs so much money.
Of course much of the corrupt money might not flow is his coffers, but are necessary to grease the skids of the system he worked in. Compared to the people he is in cahoots with he might be a piker. I do not know.
He might just be the front man originally or the front man still with more say than he had in the beginning. One would have to count the barons and their power, numbers and factions.
Aizino. Putin's son-in-law is already a billionaire http://warnewsupdates.blogspot.ca/2015/12/in-two-years-russian-president-putins.html
