Full title: CNN: Podesta, Wasserman Schultz denied knowing Fusion GPS funding to investigators — with Elias present
Did DNC and Team Hillary attorney Marc Elias lead John Podesta and Debbie Wasserman Schultz into a perjury trap? According to CNN, the two testified to congressional investigators that they did not have any knowledge of the funding for the Fusion GPS dossier that prompted an FBI probe into Donald Trump campaign figures.
In recent closed-door interviews with the Senate intelligence committee, Podesta and Wasserman Schultz said they did not know who had funded Fusion GPS, the intelligence firm that hired British Intelligence Officer Christopher Steele to compile the dossier on Trump, the sources said.
Podesta was asked in his September interview whether the Clinton campaign had a contractual agreement with Fusion GPS, and he said he was not aware of one, according to one of the sources.

So, is it any wonder why Panetta is starting to sing today?
Does he not have to submit itemized receipts for reimbursement? The DNC knew, plain and simple and any controller would have sent the expense request up the chain.
Was on Fox tonight - lying to Congress is a crime. Charges possible against the lawyer as well for knowingly let a client. Had never heard of that before.
Story from a couple days ago says the Podesta Brothers are at heart of Mueller’s investigation, not Trump:
