The Brookings Institution says that Putin is behind 'Panama Papers' leak. Sure, why not? We have to tip our proverbial shapka-ushanka to the Brookings Institution, the only American think tank brave enough to admit that Vladimir Putin is not connected in any way to the financial shenanigans documented in the "Panama Papers": Despite the headlines, there is no evidence of Putin's direct involvement—not in any company involved in the leak, much less in criminal activity, theft, tax evasion, or money laundering. There are documents showing that some of his "friends" have moved "up to two billion dollars" through these Panama-based shell companies.

Well hey they would say that seeing as it sort of backfired, its smoke an mirrors.
Putin still has nothing to do with it,  Brookings Institution my arse.

Comment: Apparently the people at these 'think tanks' (there's an oxymoron for you) just go through mental gymnastics all day to create absolutely ludicrous stories to support their pre-conceived conclusions, regardless of how untrue those conclusions are or how stupid and nonsensical their stories are.

...just go through mental gymnastics all day to create absolutely ludicrous stories to support their pre-conceived conclusions... In other words they´re busy creating conspiracy theories and getting paid for it. Maybe they call it  something else though.

So Putin leaked the papers to smear himself but made it appear as if the CIA had done it which made him look good. And he´s busy blackmailing wankers in the west with what de didn´t leak. What a devious man he is. Small wonder that Obama, that pillar of intelligence, stated that Putin wasn´t completely stupid.

Like most former kgb stooges, Putin has worked for the cia for years.

So Obama told Putin to leak the papers [continue starting with your post]

I don´t know; given that it´s exceedingly evident that seriously intellectually impaired people have been running U.S. foreign policy for a long time I think odds are better that the CIA have been working for the Russians and without even realizing it.

Yes. Defending the globalists could be a good thing for some people here. I personally do not believe this is the right thing to do, especially if you believe in the bitcoin philosophy. He can make fun of himself and be serious as a presidential candidate.

There will be this very inconvenient overhang, you never know if and when the next leak from another tax haven office arrives. Or something equally big. It seems somewhat likely, wouldn´t be surprised if it´s already in storage somewhere. The trick is to release this sort of material gradually, give people all the time to lie as much as they can and dig their own graves, then dump more.

Will The Panama Papers Kill Journalism?

Panama Papers were described as “the revelation of the century” and “the biggest leak in history”. 11.5 million documents of Mossack Fonseca, the 4th biggest law firm providing services concerning the incorporation offshore entities. Based on facts, which came from the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), global media started a series of impressive revelations. Still the biggest one is yet to be seen. Should things stay like that, we might be witnesses of the end of journalism as we know it today

As you read these lines, revealing stories about the Panama Leaks are written all around the world, but allow me to rush and make a bold assertion: Panama Papers are the last chance of journalism “to become global”. If it doesn't the future will be completely different.

Hmmm... A case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't"

If Putin were mentioned in the Panama papers, the Western MSM would have had a field day smearing Putin's name. When Putin is not mentioned in the Panama papers, the Western MSM has a field day smearing Putin's name.

Not only MSM, but also all these "I hear that he's on the list for 2 billion" trolls.

All I know for sure is when the media is going on about something they are just shaking keys at us so we don't see what the criminals in power are up too.   I wonder what they are hiding this time.

The whole package will be put online eventually. Then it´ll become evident what the media has been interested  in and what not.

The story that keeps on giving This is ridiculous:

HMRC Boss 'Linked To Firm Named In Panama Papers'

The boss of Revenue & Customs (HMRC), which is to oversee an inquiry into the so-called Panama Papers, was a partner at a top City law firm that acted for Blairmore Holdings and other offshore companies named in the leak, according to a report.

In what is a further embarrassment for the Government, it was revealed that Edward Troup, executive chair of HMRC since April, is a former partner at Simmons & Simmons, whose clients have included the Panama-registered fund created by David Cameron’s father, Ian, The Guardian reported.

Mr Cameron announced at the weekend that HMRC would be working with the National Crime Agency to lead a "world-class" taskforce to investigate allegations of tax dodging and money laundering brought to light by the leak of 11.5 million files from the Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca.

A unit with initial funding of £10m is being set up, which will also bring together specialists from the Serious Fraud Office and the Financial Conduct Authority.

It will keep giving. It must take ages and tons of manpower to wade through millions of emails and other documents. The bombs will go off all year. And who knows, maybe there´ll be more leaks from other tax haven offices.
