Tony Podesta has reportedly threatened Foxs Tucker Carlson Tonight hours after resigning from his role at the Podesta Group a D.C. lobbying firm accused by a former executive of pedaling Russian influence along with fellow lobbyist and short-lived Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.

Watch:
Manfort was indicted over the weekend on 12 counts ranging from tax fraud, money laundering and giving false statements between 2006 and 2015, and is currently under house arrest after turning himself over to the FBI Monday – fueling speculation as to whether Tony Podesta’s sudden departure from his firm is connected.
Of note, Monday’s indictment lists “Company A” and “Company B” as firms involved in the investigation – which NBC reports are the Podesta Group and D.C. Public Relations firm Mercury Public Affairs.
Last week Carlson reported that Tony Podesta is a central figure in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. Directly after his report, Carlson’s show was contacted by a former long-time executive of the Podesta Group with “direct personal knowledge” of Tony Podesta’s questionable activities, which Carlson divulged the next evening.
While the nature of Podesta’s threat has not been made public, Carlson later tweeted “We’re confident the Mueller probe will reveal a lot more about Tony Podesta’s lobbying practices in the near future.”

To review
After meeting with the former Podesta Group executive who has been “extensively” interviewed by Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel, Tucker Carlson Tonight relayed several highly troubling aspects of the Tony Podesta’s relationship with business associate and fellow lobbyist, Paul Manafort.
According to the former Podesta Group executive, Manafort and Tony Podesta were running a Russian influence-peddling racket up and down Washington D.C., bringing a “parade” of Russian oligarchs to congress for meetings. Podesta was also “Basically part of the Clinton Foundation,” meeting regularly to discuss the now-infamous Uranium One deal.

Next week, Tony P will report receiving death threats.
I would take a threat from Tony or his brother very seriously.

Given the theme of Tony’s “ art” it is not improbable he was moving not just lewd pictures of S&M torture and kids being abused and passed off as “ art”
Check out art images from his favorite artist “ Anna Gaskell”

‘John Podesta recommended that Tony hire David Adams, Hillary Clintons chief adviser at the State Department, giving them a direct liaison between the groups Russian clients and Hillary Clintons State Department.’
So they want us to believe that SOS Clinton was an innocent bystander while the Podesta’s and David Adams plotted?
When all is said and done, we need a book that exposes the treachery of the clintons ... call it What [Really] Happened.

Tucker, do you remember the story of Kathleen Willey's cat?
The last paragraph of the letter is very interesting. Can someone unilaterally declare his letter confidential and a breach of the Copyrite Act, forbidding its dissemination?
Now to paraphrase Andrew Jackson, let them try to enforce it....
‘Believing she would win the 2016 election, Russia considered the Podesta Groups connection to Hillary highly valuable.’
And then Russia decided to sabotage their established connection by helping Donald Trump win.
I read a lot of what I would call “depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is” in there — such as ‘Manafort did not regularly attend meetings’ would depend on what the definitions of ‘regularly’, ‘attend’, and ‘meetings’ are.
Also, Tucker didn’t say the ECMU was a ‘sham’ as the letter states. He called it a ‘shell group.’
I thought Tony QUIT the Podesta Group.....What a freaking joke.
Not only No, but hell no. And last night Tucker basically laughed in their faces and doubled down.
The pressure on the press by Obama and his minions has been stronger than anyone can remember and it may still as strong as then. Tucker just broke out of the pack. Let’s see what happens with other news operations.
For later.

I thought only creative works are protected by the Copyright Act, such as literature, music, scripts, dance, art, etc., but not legal pleadings.
I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like they are treating this as a binding contract simply because Carlson received it. I can't tell where both parties agreed to the confidential nature of it.
It would seem to me, as a legal matter Carlson has complete control of his own legal actions, and this other party cannot make summary blanket statements as to what Carlson can or cannot do on his own legal behalf.

What exactly was the threat? I see “Wanted our reporting shutdown.”
Oh, OK...”While the nature of Podestas threat has not been made public”...
The hook for a later broadcast. I’d watch.
And then, the letter.

“Id love to see a poll somewhere as to which Podesta brother is creepier.”
Well Tony Podesta reminds me of Frank Sinatra in his later years when he had a fat face, and his brother John looks like Elmer Gantry with a big schnozz! So take your pick, they are both creeps, but then you would have to be to be associated with the Clitons
5 words, Tucker: “The Boys On The Tracks”.

Oh yes.
Keywords: Mena Airport, Barry Seal, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Asa Hutchinson, drug running, gun running, Iran-Contra, Fahmy Malak, Rose Law Firm, Dan Harmon. And that's just a few of them.
Those were the bad old days. (Barry Seal was quite a colorful character.)
