Tony Podesta stepping down from lobbying giant amid Mueller probe
Politico ^ | October 30, 2017 | Anna Palmer

Posted on 10/30/2017 10:17:31 AM PDT by Raebie

Democratic power lobbyist Tony Podesta, founder of the Podesta Group, is stepping down from the lobbying shop that bears his name after coming under investigation by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller.

Podesta announced his decision during a firm-wide meeting Monday morning and is alerting clients of his impending departure.

Podesta is handing over full operational and financial control to longtime firm CEO Kimberley Fritts, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the meeting. Fritts and a senior group of the Podesta team will be launching a new firm in the next one or two days. Sources said the transition has been in the works for the past several months.

It’s a lot more than several. It’s a bunch of idiots or worse.

"No, I’m leaving... I will only freepmail my ping list from now on."

Yes, much easier to only communicate with the choir. It does seem like you will be using Free Republic resources without contributing to the overall community though.

Just the opinion of someone that agrees with you more than 90% of the time and doesn't understand the sudden wimp out...

Years ago I made a very cutting edge comment that no one else had made before. It was relative to a specific instance. Rush later used that comment on the air. Without mentioning where he had first heard it.

It’s all good. I felt honored.

Hmmm...so they have been working on a new firm and transition team has been in the works for months eh? Sounds like they knew what was coming.

It has nothing to do with your comment and everything to do with serious idiots. Not that I can speak for him, but I see the stinking idiocy posted by a lot of people over and over again and it is not pleasant.

Please keep me on your list. I was there, before you officially had the list, sometime in early 2016.

Thanks for all that you have given us.

There were some great one liners from that show.

They knew what was coming down the pike.

No way would they be spending big time money with powerful Deep State Lawyers, if they didn’t know what was coming.
