[comment: this would explain political persecution of Australian journalist whistleblower publisher, Julian Assange, during the last 6 years he has been undemocratically and illegally held prisoner in Britain (on behalf of Sweden, and on behalf of capitalist top dog, USA). As we can see here, Sweden is clearly a close capitalist ally of the oligarchs of USA. ]
Hillary Clinton refused to say if prof. political science (to negotiate North Korea US-agent infiltrator release) did so on behalf USG (ie Han Park, U. Georgia).
Aug 2009: North Korea issued pardon (probably due to being threatened by USA capitalist might)

PODESTA / CAP / SWISS FOREIGN INFLUENCE
- "Centre for American Progress (CAP) - in 2013 alone - received $4 million, from Swiss billionaire"
- "In 2013, John Podesta was paid $87,000 by a shadowy foreign billionaire ..."
- "The circumstances suggest Podesta may have run afoul of Obama’s highly-touted ethics pledge ..."
- "Hansjorg Wyss, a mysterious Swiss billionaire who personally hired Podesta as a “consultant” in 2013 just before he entered the White House ..."
- "A public ethics controversy for the White House Counselor involving the second wealthiest man in Switzerland could be awkward for Podesta as he prepares to kick off Hillary’s campaign."
- "The ethical questions could also force into the open the relationship between Podesta and Wyss — including why a left-wing foreigner is wielding influence over how Americans use their land."
- "Wyss, a Swiss citizen, has been a generous donor to Podesta’s Centre for American Progress, giving $4 million to the group during Podesta’s tenure ..."
- "The Wyss Foundation (ie Hansjorg Wyss - Swiss billionaire influence - big money)"

NOTE: this is not exhaustive, complete overview.
This is just random information connected to CAP and associated, that took my interests.
Sadly, I'll probably only remember a fraction of this and find myself doing the same look-ups again.
