Trump's new chief of staff needs to 'protect' Russia investigation, Democrat says (Podesta)
ABC News ^ | 7/30/2017 | Dylan Wells

President Trump's new White House chief of staff has "got to protect" the Russia investigation from "continued assault" by the president, said former Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, who also served as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton at the end of his second term.

Podesta told "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz on Sunday that Trump's new chief of staff, Ret. Gen. John Kelly, is responsible for safeguarding the Justice Department and special counsel Robert Mueller, who heads the Russia probe, from interference by the White House.

"Maybe the most difficult thing he needs to do is ... protect the Justice Department, and he's got to protect Bob Mueller and the investigation that's going on there from the continued assault by the president and by the White House," Podesta said on "This Week."

"It's going to be his job to provide a bulwark against interference by the White House, which in the end of the day, [would] get them in more trouble rather than less,” Podesta said.

Podesta can ESAD. Keeping Mueller is foolish, and it’s so obvious as the only ones in favor of keeping the Mueller circus going are RINO’s, and Democrats.

I think Podesta is a little worried. He has some deep Russian connections.

Yeah. I’m sure the biggest reason the President appointed General Kelly as the new Chief of Staff is because he could count on Kelly to take his marching orders from...John Podesta.

BWAHAhahaha!

Pardon my language but Mueller is the Democrats wet dream. For all intents and purposes, he is an Independent Counsel. They are DESPERATE to keep Mueller in place, although it is clear there was no collusion between Trump/Campaign and Russia.

All they want is an endless fishing expedition.

Yet when Podesta was Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff for Bill Clinton, during impeachment,
he absolutely protected the president.

Podesta should be in prison right now. Why should anyone take advise from the crook who owns millions of dollars of Russian companies? Investigate that, AG Sessions.

*** Says the Spirit Cooking pedophile. ***

I wish there would be a real investigation, of Pedo Podesta, and his depraved cohorts.

This is just Podesta telling Kelly what to do and since Kelly is a rat he probably will do just what Podesta says.

What a stuppid man. Any normal person who has been exposed like Podesta has would know enough to lie low and keep his mouth shut.

Well, there's not much danger in that happening, is there?

Tell Podesta to go make some risotto, apparently he likes that.
