John Podesta joins The Washington Post as contributing columnist
Politico ^ | February 23, 2017 | Peter Sterne

Posted on 02/23/2017 11:06:44 AM PST by COUNTrecount

The former chairman of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, John Podesta, has joined The Washington Post as a contributing columnist, the paper announced on Thursday.

Podesta, who also served as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and a counselor to President Barack Obama, has recently written two op-eds for the Post.

The first, published in December, was about the the FBI's investigation into Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee. The second, published last week, was about President Donald Trump's penchant for dismissing all criticism of himself as "fake news."

The Post says Podesta's columns "will provide commentary and analysis on the intersection of politics and policy, the Trump administration and the future of the Democratic Party."

At first I thought that headline read “contributing Communist.”

I assume that Podesta will be representing Wapo at the upcoming press briefings.

Perhaps, John could take up the news beat at the DOJ.

Too bad, it seems like the columns will be about bad politics and bad policy. I was hoping for tech columns about things like password security.

That would be convenient,Sessions could just step off the podium and hand Podesta the arrest warrant.

“John Podesta joins The Washington Post as contributing columnist”

His previous unofficial position was supervisor of all news and all political coverage.

Read WikiLeaks if you don’t believe me.

There were plenty of emails in which Podesta and others in the Clinton campaign told reporters what to write.

And there were emails from reporters asking what to write and asking for approval of articles before sending them to their editor.
