AWS claims:  Glencore these days are closely associated with Russians close the Trump campaign.  These days it's associated with a lot people, most of whom are anti Trump.

(((DJT hasn't owned that FOR DECADES)))  Under house arrest following a crackdown in Saudi Arabia, bin Talal recently sold half of his 25 percent stake in the Plaza (that he's owned for DECADES) to Ben Ashkenazy’s Ashkenazy Acquisition Corporation.

This information was confirmed by Rosneft’s CEO Igor Sechin.  The value of the transaction is said to be US$ 9 billion. The first stage of Rosneft’s privatization was the purchase of 19.5% of shares in Rosneft by QHG Shares Pte. Ltd., a company founded in Singapore on 8th December 2016 in which Glencore and QIF are shareholders through their subsidiaries.  Once the transaction has been completed, Rosneft will have the following shareholders: the Russian state though ROSNEFTEGAZ (50% of shares plus one), the British company BP (19.75%), CEFC (14.16%), QHG Shares Pte. Ltd. (5.34%), and smaller-scale shareholders.   The decision to sell Rosneft’s shares to China’s CEFC is another stage of a rather non-transparent process of the privatization of Russia’s largest oil company that began already in 2016. Firstly, it remains unclear who will have genuine control of the privatized package of shares. Even though in December 2016 it was announced that QIF and Glencore would purchase 19.5% of shares in Rosneft, from the formal point of view QHS Shares Pte. Ltd. (owned by the British company QHG Investment LLP, owned by QIF, and QHG Holding, owned by Glencore Energy UK, and QHG Cayman with an unknown ownership structure) became the shareholder.  The ownership of CEFC is also unknown; it may be inferred from available information that the company is linked to Chinese state structures (and according to the allegations released by the media, to the military secret service). Secondly, the financial transactions accompanying the sales of Rosneft’s shares are non-transparent. In December 2016 it was announced that the sale of 19.5% of shares in Rosneft will be finalized partly from investors’ own funds and partly from a loan granted by the Italian bank Intesa Sanpaolo and Russian banks. However, in spring this year it was revealed that on 15th December 2016 QHG Shares Pte. Ltd. was granted a loan by the Russian bank VTB to buy shares and this made it possible to transfer the funds to the Russian budget the very same month. As for representatives of Intesa Sanpaolo, they initially confirmed their participation in the transaction but in August this year they stated that the bank had been forced to refuse to co-finance it due to the risk of sanctions. Nor is it clear what financial mechanism will be used in the next step of Rosneft’s privatization which consists in CEFC purchasing 14.16% of shares in the Russian oil company from QHG Shares Pte. Ltd. The fact that CEFC has become a shareholder in Rosneft will mean that the internationalization of the Russian company will increase and will be used by the Russian authorities as evidence of progress in the implementation of Moscow’s concept of the economic ‘turn to the East’. On the other hand, the deal raises a series of doubts regarding its actual economic benefits for Russia. It seems rather unlikely that the Chinese company has agreed to invest such a substantial amount of money (US$ 9 billion) in shares which do not provide it with real influence over the decisions made by the Rosneft management without appropriate concessions made by Russia. It may therefore be inferred that the agreements signed between Rosneft and CEFC in July-September 2017 may be quite important: two agreements on comprehensive energy co-operation and a five-year contract for oil supplies to CEFC. Although the details of the agreements are not known, according to the media they allow for the possibility to develop comprehensive bilateral energy collaboration extending to the upstream sector and the petrochemical industry, trade in oil and oil products, retail sales of oil- products (CEFC’s possible involvement in Rosneft’s chain of petrol stations) and financial services (the establishment of a joint investment fund).  Regarding Oleg Deripaska, aside from the damning ties to FBI Mueller(in as far as more evidence of a corrupted investigation)... one should note that one of his companies Rusal through its affiliate Salamon, took over the bauxite mine in Niksic. It should be mentioned that Rusal and Glenkor often act together.    Rusal is tied to Glasenberg: He has served an executive director of Xstrata Plc (since 2002); and as a non-executive director of Minara Resources Ltd (since 2000); of Rusal Plc (since 2007); and Century Aluminum Co. (between 2010–2011).[7]  Slightly more complicated then the MUH Russia associates utterly compromised and corrupted and criminal from the FISA starting gates: DOSSIER. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-04-05/all-russiagate-roads-lead-london-evidence-emerges-mifsuds-links-uk-intelligence  Mifsud could have saved his breath, the BBC did the job of providing the public 'dirt' on Hillary before the election  <  ff9  a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37639370">https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37639370
