Podesta's downfall sends shock waves through K Street
Politico ^ | 31 October 2017 | Theodoric Meyer

Washington lobbyists who represent foreign powers have taken comfort for decades in the fact that the Justice Department rarely goes after them for potentially breaking the law. That all changed on Monday.

The news of Tony Podesta’s resignation from his namesake firm and indictment of Paul Manafort and Rick Gates sent K Street scrambling, as lobbyists rushed to make sure they’re in compliance with the rules. The developments also renewed calls for Congress to pass legislation beefing up the Justice Department’s enforcement of the law, which lawmakers in both parties have derided for lacking teeth.

No, I think he stepped down quickly because the path leads to Hillary and Bill.

This.

And...

The crimes for which Mueller has indicted Manafort derive from activities Manafort (may have) engaged in while working with the Clintons’ flying monkeys, Fat and Skinny Podesta. The Podesta Group exists solely to monetize access to the Clintons.

I’d like that pitcha better if the guy with the snazzy hairdo was shouldering one of those cool new recoilless rifles I read about yesterday.

Tony Podesta stepped down quickly because he is one of the sealed indictments!

(no insider knowledge here, just a happy guess)

RT has far more honest news than CNN.

I think Podesta's resignation may be the signal for the Clintons to use their paper shredders and BleachBit software on an overtime basis....

imho the real question is why wasn’t podesta’s house and office raided in the night as was the republican what’s his name.

instead what’s happening is that the mueller team is telegraphing what they’re doing thereby giving podesta lots of time to destroy the evidence—which he is doing.

he has already shut down his company. he did it on the same day that what’s his name was arrested.

the podesta group will be reforming under a new name. what they will also do is destroy all the records of the podesta group. so everything can be denied.

Would the MSM tell you if he was? Seriously does not fit the MSM narrative. No. I read somewhere he was raided also but that is the internet....who knows.

Blessed be the Holy One of Israel and thanks to the LORD God of Israel for His miracle. May He continue His mercy in giving our nation a time to repent of our wickedness and call upon His name.

keep in mind....podesta also worked as a councillor for obama.

podesta was clinton’s cos and worked for the foundation....besides being hillary’s campaign manager.

HILLARY HAD PODESTA IN LINE FOR HER COS.....had she been elected.

methinks,there’s plenty of dirt obama wants hidden. .
