Tony Podesta stepping down from lobbying giant amid Mueller probe
Politico ^ | October 30, 2017 | Anna Palmer

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.

He just wanted to spend more time with the kids trapped in his basement.

He may soon be taking an extended ‘vacation’ to a country without an extradition treaty. Purely a ‘coinkeedink’ of course.

TP is a dead man.
Any idea when his “Tragic Suicide!” Is scheduled for.
With his reputation, prison will be a true hell.

I know this is shocking, but CNN is not mentioning it...but they assure us the charges on Manafort will send “shivers through the White House”.

Manafort left the Trump campaign in August, 2016. I don’t believe he was ever part of the Whitehouse staff.

I wonder if this will expand to the point where the entire K Street clan gets put out of business, or at least seriously reined in.

Rush Limbaugh was positing all day long today... “What if Mueller is really working FOR Trump and will do the greatest harm and damage AGAINT Clinton and the DNC....”

All ideas I heard first from you. Last week. You’re a smart guy. You may be right - you may be wrong. But I appreciate your smart thinking.

Manafort was never part of the WH staff or Trump admin. He was with the campaign for a few months in 2016 (until early Aug. 2016), and that’s it.

The appearance by John Podesta on Election night was the creepiest moment of the entire campaign.

“they’re still counting votes...”

Jeff Sessions... Are you listening? Go to court today with an order holding Podesta and Fritts liable for preservation of all records of the fast disappearing “Podesta Group”. Do it NOW!
