Tony Podesta discovers he's in the crosshairs of the Special Prosecutor investigation

This item is published on Politico, here.

Reorganization at the Podesta Group has Tony Podesta stepping down from the super-lobbying group that bears his name. Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort worked for the Podesta lobbying group to advance the interests of Ukraine and Russia.

As the virus infected brain affected hoards on Twitter and Reddit and Facebook all self congratulate that Manafort arrest is intended to flip him to get Trump, that is what their media taught them after all, there is reasoned speculation that Manaforts indictment is leading to cooperation with special counsel Mueller to investigate  the Podesta Group.

Federal records show The Podesta Group and the Mercury Group both doing work on behalf of Manafort's Ukraine front group and despite their lobbying activity neither group was disclosed legally as required.
Podesta Group filed paperwork with the Justice Department in April stating that it had done work for the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine that also benefited the same Ukrainian political party that Manafort once advised. Podesta Group said at the time it believed its client was a European think tank untethered to a political party.

Jesus told me it's not good to cheer and best to suppress this form of glee. But I can't help it. Sorry, Jesus, please forgive me. Again.

Last lines of Steyn's article on How to Steele an Election:

Thus Washington's vast wilderness of distorting mirrors: as I told Tucker Carlson, everyone was colluding with the Russians except Trump - Hillary, the DNC, Democrat lawyers, the FBI, all frantically pointing fingers at the only non-colluding guy in the room. No man anywhere has ever been less in need of a "golden shower" than Donald J Trump. He is surrounded on all sides by powerful forces leaking on him incessantly.

The Lefties are as desperate as Mueller trying to make this look like it's as significant as they wish it was.

I blasted the podestas on twitter before this was even a thing because even back then, i knew they were traitorous scum.

Yes, Methadras, his name kept coming up in Wikileaks, the revelations so revealing, so devastating, that nobody could even bother reading them.

Gateway put a video of Gowdy headlined "Gowdy devastates ..." something or other where Gowdy does no such thing. At the end of the video, with Fox's Wallace, I think, he remarked on Mueller, "there is nothing about him that is partisan. I've only seen straightforward work from him." Even after picking all Democrat lawyers for his investigation, and his own complicity with Fusion. Even after slamming Mueller leaks. I was dismayed to hear his description because it's contrary to everything else that I've read.

Then I thought, well, it's possible he chose Democrat investigators to prevent his results being dismissed as partisan by other Democrats, everyone who's worked up about Russia connections.

Then I thought, pffft, who am I kidding?

Interesting times. Yes?

It's quite obvious by now that Hillary has been scheming all her life to secure a nice comfy spot in some women's prison somewhere. Why do douchebag men like Comey and Mueller stand in the way of her dream?

A small sacrifice for the greater good so this witch hunt looks bipartisan?
Clinton is a dead issue in politics so her associates - not too close associates, though, just a bad egg that no one really likes - are being thrown into the woodchipper with the EvilHitlers.
I do not trust Mueller or anything about this bullshit prosecution in search of a crime. Dersh is right: Political prosecutions are anathema to our government.
Even if they don't actually "get" Trump, they are churning up enough rumor and innuendo so that if Dems take over Congress (or even if they don't, knowing our RINO Faux Representatives), Trump will have to deal with the threat of impeachment. And he's the only one NOT colluding.
