Want another reason why Democrats are so obsessed with Russia? Probably because Russia has the goods on major Democrats, like Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager’s brother Tony Podesta. Sberbank, which is Russia’s largest bank and has ties to spying was represented by Tony Podesta. Under the Foreign Agent Registration Act, those who do business with Russian banks must register. Tony Podesta, being a Democrat and above the law never did register. Fire up that spirit cookout!

Democratic super lobbyist Tony Podesta failed to register under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) when he agreed to represent Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank.
Sberbank allegedly has close ties to Russia’s intelligence services, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.
Marc Raimondi, the national security spokesman at the Department of Justice, confirmed to TheDCNF that Sberbank never registered with the department under FARA. It did not directly register nor was not registered through any other agency such as the Podesta Group.
“The FARA Registration Unit personnel conducted a search related to your questions and can confirm that the search terms – Sberbank CIB USA, Inc., or Sberbank – are not currently (nor previously have been) registered under FARA,” he informed TheDCNF in an email.
