Tony Podesta stepping down from lobbying giant amid Mueller probe

Podesta announced his decision during a firm-wide meeting Monday morning and is alerting clients of his impending departure.

Not surprising considering Manafort worked closely with the Podesta Group during the time of the crimes he was just charged with...

and Vin Weber of Mercury Public Affairs, also worked closely with Manafort around the same time, lobbying for European Centre for a Modern Ukraine.

There is also a big difference between asking an American company to do research and working with a foreign power to obtain illegally obtained information to use in an election.

There is also a big difference between hiring an American company to subcontract out to a foreign spy using Russian contacts research without disclosing it and working with a foreign power to obtain illegally obtained information to use in an election.

The supervisor who communicated with GP about the Russians having Clinton emails is believed to be Sam Clovis, former talk show host who was high up in the Trump campaign and who is close to being appointed head of the USDA

Oh and he's previously said anyone white who's a progressive is a 'race traitor' (back in his talk radio days)

[Dr. Strangelove]

The charges against Manafort stem at least in part from documents found during the FBI raid of his home back in July (GP was arrested at the airport the very next day). The FBI found Ukrainian records and documents that Manafort had previously claimed didn't exist.

Lots of speculation that GP, as part of his plea, worked with the Mueller team secretly for months. Might've even worn a wire. Even people on Fox speculating this might've happened.

Trump has hit a new low in the Gallup poll. Only 33% now approve of his performance. I'll have to check the archives, but I believe this is worse than Obama, Clinton, or Reagan ever had at any point in their presidency. He's reached it in Year One. With a good economy.

EDIT: Oh, and the poll was conducted before today

WRONG. Another liberal lie. That's the guy who poses for those restaurant sidewalk chalkboard easels as the chef with the fat fingers.

So? The poll is basically whether or not people like him personally. A lot of people don't, he is quite abrasive. Isn't going to matter.

Citing polls didn't help drag Clinton across the finish line in 2016, I wouldn't count that helping the Democrats win in 2018 or 2020.

So your argument is that a President being extremely unpopular has no impact on

a) his party's success in elections
b) his party's willingness to come out and vote

Who the Dems run will always matter, but to say that having 33% APPROVAL, won't impact any elections is, well, optimistic.

And for the record, the people aren't being polled on whether they like him, they're being polled on whether they think he's doing a good job. That doesn't mean they won't find him the lesser evil, sure. It's STILL BAD

[Dr. Strangelove]

This is a shameful piece by FoxNews spit out in the first hours after the Manafort news. Total hit piece on the judges that'll be overseeing the Manafort trial. Very telling that no reporter wanted their name attached to this piece of trash. I'm surprised they didn't include the judges home addresses.

As much as Fox carries the Republican banner, the news side normally maintains certain standards. This is Breitbart level stuff.
