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.

Funny how this Fritts person and other managers are all ready to create a new company inside of 72 hours.
One can envision paperwork getting burned with charred ashes tossed into the ocean.
Lots of servers wiped, like with a cloth, never to be seen again. Ever.

The SP and the Democrat Donors on his team are after the Trump's, not the Podesta’s.

NO Democrat will be charged with anything.

Please don't get sidetracked waiting for a fantasy to come true.

Suicide watch at CNN if Manafort fingers the Podesta boys rather than the Donald.

I’m listening to Rush today-—Rush must be following you on FR—he is acting like he is the only one who has figured out what is going on right now.

LOL!

Excerpt:

The investigation into Podesta and his firm grew out of investigators’ examination of Manafort’s finances.
