Congress Must Investigate John Podesta’s Role in Biden’s LNG Decision By Larry Behrens February 29, 2024
Ever since 2016, talk to a liberal and there’s a good chance that they will blame “Russia” for something. Election interference, inflation, record-high gas prices, the list goes on and on. Since taking office, Joe Biden continues to take this deflection to a new level. As a gallon of gas soared past $5 in the summer of 2022 it was all Russia’s fault. And who can forget the ill-fated #PutinsPriceHike campaign as Team Biden tried to dodge criticism for skyrocketing inflation.
Yet according to recent revelations, there may be more to Biden’s “America Last” energy policy than meets the eye, and again, Russia enters the picture.
According to a bombshell report from the Washington Free Beacon, the decision to halt American liquified natural gas (LNG) exports was pushed by Biden’s new Climate Czar John Podesta, who recently took over for John Kerry.
As a well-known climate warrior, it makes sense Podesta would be pushing for policies against American energy interests. Yet at the same time, Podesta’s brother, Tony, one of DC’s most well-connected mega lobbyists, has financial connections to foreign LNG companies, including one with links to a Russian oligarch. It is concerning to see the Podesta family standing to profit from a policy priority of the White House who employs another Podesta. Foreign companies, including Russia, are clear beneficiaries Biden’s LNG attack. It should be raising questions about potential conflicts of interest and profit motives at the White House.
Even more troubling is the fact that this decision plays right into the hands of Vladimir Putin, the same dictator that Biden and his allies have been quick to blame for our country’s woes. By halting American LNG exports, Biden is handing Putin a wider energy market, allowing him to continue raking in billions while American energy workers suffer, and our families pay higher prices.
As even the left-leaning Washington Post editorial board put it, “Biden’s LNG decision is a win for political symbolism, not the climate.”
For the record, this is not the first time the Podestas were caught in ethical compromising situation. In 2019, Tony Podesta was investigated by the Southern District of New York for potential violations of foreign lobbying rules. Back in 2021, the same Podesta brother pocketed a cool $1 million by lobbying Biden in favor of Chinese telecommunications. Instead of tapping the brakes on this questionable influence, Joe Biden picked John Podesta to replace John Kerry and then put him in charge of the largest green slush fund in American history.
At a time when the country is still facing too-high gas prices and inflation, it is unacceptable for the Biden administration to prioritize the interests of foreign companies, and his radical green supporters over those of American workers and consumers. It is imperative that Congress launch an investigation into these suspicious ties to uncover the truth behind Biden’s energy policy and determine whether there is any real Russian collusion at play.
The House of Representatives deserves credit for investigating other elements of Biden’s green grift, including an electric vehicle battery deal that Ford reached with a Chinese company. It seems there is no end to the amount of our money Team Biden is willing to spend for more…green.
It is time for Biden to put America first and prioritize the needs of the American people over the profits of foreign entities.
It is time for Congress to step up and ensure that our energy policies are in the best interests of the country, not those of foreign oligarchs. The time for action is now. Let us demand the truth and hold our leaders accountable for their actions. Congress must investigate because America deserves nothing less.

PODESTA UPDATE – Biden Clean Energy Czar’s Brother Lobbies for Chinese Co. Vying for EV Battery Material Market. The lobbyist brother of President Biden’s clean energy czar is getting paid to lobby the United States government on behalf of Chinese Communist interests seeking to corner the market on vital raw materials to produce electric vehicle (EV) batteries, which the administration continues to invest heavily in. The arrangement seems to violate a 2021 Biden order to “restore ethics in government” by banning members of his administration from using public service for private gain – Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch
Joe Biden’s John Podesta WikiLeaks Problem Explained John Podesta Was Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Manager, Before That Worked For Barack Obama’s White House & Was Joe Biden’s Senior Advisor John Podesta Was Caught Emailing A Billionaire For “A Slice Of Pizza” Code For Child Trafficking For Sex Is What Many Believe Later It Was Found WikiLeaks Reveals John Podesta Pockets $7,000 a Month from Major Clinton Donor, The Same Billionaire One Big Club “I’d rather explain this once properly so I never have to explain it again. So, uh, 2 years ago, a little more than 2 years ago, Joe Biden hired this guy to be in his White House as a senior adviser, John Podesta. And this man, Podesta, had his emails leaked by WikiLeaks back in the 2016 election cycle, and it showed him corresponding with a billionaire, Herb Sandler, who’s no longer alive. He passed away. continued below the clip…
This billionaire, Herb Sandler, and they were talking about what many people believe is child trafficking. Why was a billionaire ordering a slice of pizza and boxes of cheeses from somebody as busy as John Podesta, who at the time was Hillary Clinton’s, uh, Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, and before that worked at the Barack Obama White House. And, again, for the last 2 years, he’s been one of Joe Biden’s senior advisers. And even to this day, about 8 years later, people follow me around the Internet trying to silence me for my part in covering those emails. Again, why was John Podesta emailing a billionaire about delivery of a slice of pizza? Can’t a billionaire just call Papa John’s or Pizza Hut or maybe even Little Caesar’s? Aren’t there enough options for pizza? Why would somebody like John Podesta be willing to do that? Why would he hand deliver boxes of cheese and yummy little slices of pizza to somebody across the country who, again, is a billionaire? Doesn’t make any sense unless it was a code language, and those WikiLeaks emails have actually disappeared from the Internet. It’s one of the biggest unsettled mysteries of all time.” – Wall Street Apes
PizzaGate did not originate from Q’s posts. It came from John Podesta‘s emails that were published by Wikileaks. Those emails were never disputed.
