How Tony Podesta's firm is connected to Russian-backed lobbying - Business Insider

"A big-shot lobbyist and Democratic donor has gotten caught up in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation because of his firm's ties to the lobbying organization led by President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Tony Podesta, who stepped down from his position as the head of the lobbying firm the Podesta Group on Monday, reportedly worked with Manafort's lobbying firm that had sought to ease the Obama administration's tough stance toward Ukraine's Russian-backed government.

Tony Podesta is the brother of John Podesta, the former campaign chairman for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

Manafort used the Podesta Group and Mercury as part of a two-pronged strategy he was pursuing as a consultant for the Ukrainian Party of Regions, which was the ruling party during the tenure of ousted Russian-backed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych."

The Podesta Group is DIRECTLY tied to Manafort.




You are correct - we have not seen any evidence so screaming about it from either side like we know for sure is just for fun speculation.

You don't have the same feelings for anti-Trump people on this board that do the same thing when, as we have agreed, there is no evidence?
I wouldn't be at all shocked to find out that Manafort flipped on multiple potentially including Podesta and others affiliated with Podesta's group. Manafort has worked in and around Washington for years. He has had a lot of access to high profile people. He may know where a lot of bodies are buried, so to speak.

If some Democrats go down, fine with me. I want to see crooks put away no matter where they fall on the political spectrum.
