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.

Comey is writing his speech exonerating Podesta now.
Gee, Wally, I wonder why?........................
When is his evil cadaver brother, John, going to be exposed for the devil-worshiper he is? An announcement on Halloween would be appropriate.
Who gives a ####?
That won’t get him indicted.
Hey Tony....what’s cooking?
Have the Feds grabbed his passport yet?
Talk about a flight risk....
Notice the Commie media(Not even Fox News) mentions Podesta at all..its ALL about Manafort and how bad this looks for Trump even though Manafort was in the campaign for 3 months only to stop Ted Cruz from stealing Trump’s delegates..HELLO URANIUM ONE, apparently giving 20 percent of our Uranium is NO BIG DEAL
they will get their liberal base all frothed up about manafort for about a day. Ratings and all, right now they just got speculation on the others.
Manifort is not an idiot. He knows exactly who put him under this scrutiny...
Yeh any day now the Podesta’s will be indicted. (Sarc)
Comey claims that Manafort had “intent” while Podesta had no “intent” — so don’t prosecute the Democrat! /s
Twitter points out there are 4 sealed case numbers between Gp and manafort...something like 182 to 201..
Isn’t Tony Podesta the one who has the bizarre art collection of monsters molesting children?
I guess this makes his involvement “old news” and “already litigated.” :)
Comey is writing his speech exonerating Podesta now.
I think the word “matter” is going to be used a lot in the coming days.
Selling 20 percent of our Uranium . . . for $145 million to the Clinton Crime Family Foundation.
So it looks like Manafort and Podesta will be the pieces removed from the political chess board.
