During the Obama administration, the Podesta Group took in more than $40 million a year...Following Mrs. Clintons defeat that November, the Podesta Group cut bonuses and commissions...tweeted that day: The biggest story yesterday, the one that has the Dems in a dither, is Podesta running from his firm....Employees would get their last paycheck in six days. Health-care coverage would cease by years end... Before closing the firms doors, Mr. Podesta gave himself an advance on his lobbying commissions.

As Ms. Fritts broke the( OUT OF BUSINESS) news, Mr. Podesta was in New York for the rollout of a fashion calendar published by Pirelli, his personal client. The two-day bash was capped by a black-tie dinner with Naomi Campbell, Sean Diddy Combs and other celebrities.

Yeah. It is tough to feed when the government gravy train runs off the rails or the government teats run dry.

This will cause a dip in the stock of child sex traders.
(That is probably a big deal to the WSJ folks—hint, hint, hint.)

He hid 30 mil?
In 2014, the couple filed for divorce, with the art collection caught in a legal tug of war. In the settlement, Mr. Podesta kept most of the collection. He gave up homes in Washington and Manhattan, and nearly $5 million in retirement savings. He agreed to pay his former wife $200,000 every three months for five years.
He needs to start shaking the money tree!

He is not in prison with a new boyfriend - which he so richly deserves. He clearly hasn’t “lost it all”.

Oh, FFS, anyone who thinks this putz isn’t walking into the sunset with $10 or $20 million needs to contribute $50 to the David Hogg fund.

Podesta - a hero of the corrupt "Deep State"... more proof the deep state must be destroyed.

Do a search on the art in his house. Unsettling to say the least.

"...In 2014, the couple filed for divorce, with the art collection caught in a legal tug of war. In the settlement, Mr. Podesta kept most of the collection..." Hm. was it THIS creepy and disgusting "art" collection?
There have been some articles about his "art" which showed even worse.

I’m sure CNN and MSNBC will dig into this matter and bring it to light.

This is the surest sign that the Clinton Machine is finished.
Podesta was the source of all the leaks which ended Hillary’s chances.
