Tony Podesta stepping down from lobbying giant amid Mueller probe

Democratic power lobbyist Tony Podesta, founder of the Podesta Group, is stepping down from the lobbying shop that bears his name after coming under investigation by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller.

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

Podesta is handing over full operational and financial control to longtime firm CEO Kimberley Fritts, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the meeting. Fritts and a senior group of the Podesta team will be launching a new firm in the next one or two days. Sources said the transition has been in the works for the past several months.

Sooo, what's Podesta been up to besides spreading the usual democrat lies and propaganda.  Is he making out his will or trying to buy carpet that will fit in a jail cell.

Podesta has his own problems with FARA.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Podesta has his own problems with FARA.

I'm inclined to throw in money laundering, too.

Probably, since FARA has been in place since the 30s and has rarely been prosecuted.  Most likely, it’s used as cause for further investigation into other criminal activities and as leverage for cooperation.
