Tony Podesta has reportedly threatened Fox’s “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.

“Hey, Tucker, does the name Seth Rich ring a bell?”
“Hey Tucker, does the name Vince Foster ring a bell?” ;-)
” Nice kids you got, Tucker. Think they’d like to come over to Uncle Tony’s for pizza and game night?”
I like how Tucker was reading what the lawyer said he’d better not read on the air.
Tucker is like a bad dentist - He struck a nerve!
As for Podesta, to quote the Bard: "Methinks the lady doth protest too much."
Ooooh sorry, Tony... that only works for the DEMOCRAT propaganda networks (MSNBCNNBCBSPBS)
Msybe Tony can pay someone in the prison law library with Newports to write these letters in future.
Art collection.
Art has become the number one way to move and launder huge sums of illegal money around the world.
There are now copies of that letter posted all over the internet this morning. LMAO.
Fatty tony arbuckle podesta.
I’d love to see a poll somewhere as to which Podesta brother is creepier.
Why hasn’t the Judge in his case REVOKED his bail for ordering these laughable threats to be made on his behalf?? Shouldn’t the prosecutor be standing in front of the Judge right now making that motion??
This is all wonderful grist for our mills here and maybe 4chan, but seriesly when are heads going to roll in the real world (legally/politically speaking of course. I’d never advocate armed actions not sanctioned constitutionally).
A “civilized” society only remains so when there’s equal accountability that is in fact equal. Otherwise, who knows the ramifications that may ensue. Justice (with a capital J) is only so patient.
“Art has become the number one way to move and launder huge sums of illegal money around the world.”
Yes, it has.
I’m reminded of Scripture where it says “the saints cried to heaven for vengeance”.
I’d like to think we have reached that point with the Almighty. That He hears our cries and plans to act soon. I certainly don’t want to imagine how much worse injustice can truly become.
Podesta is not under arrest, hence no bail either.

Outstanding. Thank you!
