Democratic “power lobbyist” Tony Podesta is resigning from the Podesta Group, after coming under investigation by FBI Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Politico reported Monday. “Podesta announced his decision during a firm-wide meeting Monday morning and is alerting clients of his impending departure,” Politico reported. Podesta’s brother, John Podesta, served as chairman of Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The news came just hours after Mueller charged lobbyist and former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his partner Rick Gates with 12 counts related to alleged money laundering, tax evasion, violating lobbying rules, and making false statements.
The charges were related to work they did for former pro-Russia Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and his pro-Russian party “Party of Regions.” Manafort had organized a public relations campaign on behalf of a pro-Russian non-profit called European Centre for a Modern Ukraine (ECMU), and the Podesta Group was one of several firms who worked on that campaign to promote Ukraine in the United States.
The Podesta Group belatedly filed paperwork with the Justice Department in April stating it had done work for the campaign, which benefited the Party of Regions. The Podesta Group said at the time it believed its client was a European think tank untethered to a political party, according to Politico.

Yup!
The Clinton Foundation is nothing more than a giant ponzi scheme, everyone knows it..Haiti is still waiting for their money
Could it be because Podesta hasn't had his house raided, and because he hasn't been indicted?
Their companies are named in the Indictment..which means something..yet no mention in the Commie media, gee I wonder why
Who is GP?
I thought I read that the company names in the indictment were left unnamed?
Its confirmed that its the Podesta Group and some group called Mercury LLC which is run by a Republican..Tucker Carlsen is talking about this now
I wonder why the company identities were left unnamed.
Maybe because they are still under investigation not sure..but its been confirmed by even NBC News(And we know how much they despise President Trump so it must have hurt like hell to even report it) that the Podesta group is Company A
but could those be other cases for that court in between those two?
Absolutely. All you know is there are 4 sealed cases. Could be anyone.
When he’s indicted, I’ll believe it.
