According to White House counsel, in 1997 President Clinton solved the Podesta problem by signing a legal waiver absolving John Podesta of any conflict of interest.

How convenient. "Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool."

I wonder how many soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen are going to have to pay in blood in the future because of the Clintons. Traitorous scum

The Clinton legacy........lies, lies, lies, and death.

Jom Rob's commentary basks light on Ron Brown's death. Why would he be killed? Because he knew too much or, perhaps, because he had threatened to talk. Sort of like the guy who committed suicide by shooting himself in the head without any powder burns; is that curious? Not if you're a looney toon. Never, ever put any dastardly act beyond the Klintonista gang.

JOHN PODESTA
Podesta



* President and CEO of the Shadow Party’s main think tank and spin machine, the Center for American Progress (CAP).
* Former Clinton Chief of Staff.
* Former antiwar activist of the New Left. Worked on Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern campaigns.
* Met Bill Clinton in 1970 through the antiwar movement.





John David Podesta was appointed president and CEO of the Center for American Progress (CAP) at its founding on July 7, 2003. He was hand-picked for the job by CAP founders George Soros and Morton H. Halperin, according to a March 1, 2004 report in The Nation by Robert Dreyfuss.

Inside sources have described CAP as “the official Hillary Clinton think tank” – a media spin machine and policy generator designed to serve as a springboard for Hillary’s presidential ambitions.

During his years in the Clinton White House, Podesta played a uniquely unsavory role. He helped suppress numerous federal investigations into Clinton wrongdoing, and helped short-circuit the Clinton impeachment proceedings through shady backroom deals.

The Clintons recognized Podesta’s talent for scandal suppression early. While still a mere staff secretary at the White House in 1993, Podesta found himself swamped with so many scandal clean-up assignments that he nicknamed himself, “Secretary of [Expletive].”

“He’s good at it,” James Carville remarked to the Washington Post.


Project Podesta

Podesta’s most lasting contribution to the leftist cause came through his promotion of a strategy that White House aides dubbed “Project Podesta.” This was a system that enabled the Clintons to push through unpopular policies that neither Congress nor the American people wanted. Its implementation marked a dramatic tilt in the balance of power, giving the executive branch an unprecedented ability to force its will on the legislative branch.

Project Podesta enabled the president to bypass Congress through the use of executive orders; presidential decision directives; White-House-sponsored lawsuits; vacancy appointments to high federal office; selective regulatory actions against targeted corporations; as well as a host of other extra-constitutional tactics....

Great post. Details on one of the bagmen for the anti-freedom, anti-life Democratic Crime Syndicate. The jack of diamonds in the deck of domestic enemies playing cards.

Facts?? We don' need no stinkin' facts. Seriously, facts are so inconvenient for the Clinton crime family.

[RoadTest]

Help Congessman Weldon. Write (E-mail) Donald Rumsfeld and tell him to let all the witnesses and information concerning Able Danger loose!

He asked for that on the Michael Savage show last night.

JOHN PODESTA........how can this low life look at himself in the mirror? He is getting away with murder!

God forbid the clintoons get anywhere near the White House again.

[popdonnelly]

I do not believe a word out of Podesta's mouth. I might believe him if he would disassociate himself from the Clinton Administration, where lying was the MO.

I can't wait to read former FBI Director Louis J. Freeh's book. Hopefully they will have it at Walmart when I go shopping at the end of the month. First Aldrich, excellent book and now Freeh. Hopefully there will be many more whistle blowers that the MSM will not be able to shut up.
