John Podesta’s Sister-in-Law Lobbied For Raytheon While Hillary Was Secretary of State

The Podesta family seems particularly adept at earning extraordinary sums of money via selling out the American public. Earlier this year, I highlighted how John Podesta’s brother Tony was paid $140,000 per month by the medieval monarchy of Saudi Arabia. After all, who cares about women’s rights when the pay is good?

Here’s a excerpt from the post, “Getting Things Done” – The Brother of Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Chair is a Major Lobbyist for Saudi Arabia:

::

The kingdom employs a total of eight American firms that perform lobbying, consulting, public relations and legal work.

Five of the firms work for the Saudi Arabia Embassy, while another two — Podesta Group and BGR Group — have registered to represent the Center for Studies and Media Affairs at the Saudi Royal Court, an arm of the government. PR giant Edelman, meanwhile, is working for the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority to encourage international investment.

The Podesta Group is billing Saudi Arabia $140,000 a month for its public relations services. During the last few months of 2015, it sent 27 emails, had two phone calls and one meeting with lawmakers and staffers, journalists, and organizations including Human Rights Watch and the Center for American Progress, disclosure forms show.

DLA Piper receives $50,000 a month from the kingdom and sent hundreds of emails to top congressional staffers between September and the end of February regarding meeting requests and, more generally, “issues affecting U.S.-Saudi Arabia national security interests.”

Doesn’t seem odd considering that John Podesta’s brother Tony Podesta is paid to represents Saudi Arabia while he bundles money for the Hillary campaign. Think there might be any ‘mistaken’ transfer of funds there?

I’m so sickened to the point of no return regarding all the money dems and repubs have made off of the country that killed 3000 of my fellow NYers and took down those two great buildings that I had the privilege to work in.

It’s crushing.

In the old days they would have called this TREASON!

Even hollywood itself could not come up with a script raunchy enough to depict what's been happening to America.

...of course they wouldn't dare...because they are part of the sleaze.

My son feels the same way. The men in his original OIF unit that were killed or wounded badly enough to be involuntarily discharged never really go away for him. He hates the thought that they died while so many in DC were kissing Saudi azz and living large by doing so.

So how much of the Clinton-Saudi nexus do you suppose has been/will be tamped down the memory hole by the time Uniparty stooges and media gatekeepers tidy up all the loose ends?
