One of Washington's most prominent lobbying firms is on the verge of shuttering after becoming ensnared by special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.

Kimberley Fritts, the chief executive of the Podesta Group, told employees during a Thursday staff meeting that the firm would cease to exist at the end of the year, according to two sources.

Tony is supposedly one of the sealed indictments.

Not sure if John is or not.

This is some evidence they know the game is ending...

I wonder how much money they directed to the Clinton Foundation? Did they internationally peddle influence on behalf of the Clintons?

Nothing good happens until the Podestas and their ilk are given the electric chair.

Mueller won’t touch any Democrats. The investigation is totally corrupt and partisan. The Deep State makes everything suspect.

KImberly Fritts is probably DIRTY also since she worked side by side with Podesta.

Last line of the article is likely the most important, and could be paving the way for Podesta's return as CEO, since any actual news of him being investigated by Mueller has faded with the news that Flynn is the one in the crosshairs now.

"He didn't say he was retiring. He didn't say he was resigning" last week, someone familiar with the firm said. "He's a prideful person. He built a very influential company over 30 years, and I think he believes he hasn't done anything wrong."
