As our readers are undoubtedly aware by now, The Podesta Group (PG) was co-founded by Hillary Clinton's former campaign chairman, John Podesta, and is still run by his brother, Tony Podesta. Now, according The Daily Caller (http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/27/podesta-group-subpoenaed-in-russia-probe/?utm_source=site-share), PG, one of six lobbying firms that worked on Manafort’s campaign to get Ukraine into the European Union between 2012 to 2014, finds itself directly in the crosshairs of Special Counsel Mueller's Russia probe.


Special Counsel Robert Mueller issued subpoenas seeking testimony from executives who worked on a campaign organized by Paul Manafort – including the Podesta Group — an NBC exclusive report published Friday revealed.

An executive, whose firm received a subpoena, said Mueller’s team is particularly interested in taking a close look at the lobbying campaign that included the Podesta Group.

“We think they are trying to figure out, was this a legitimate project?” the executive told NBC News. “From our perspective it was — we did a lot of work. We took it seriously.”

The unnamed executive told NBC News that six firms participated in the campaign that Manafort coordinated, which was paid for by the European Center for a Modern Ukraine, a non-profit based in Brussels.

The report states that two groups, the Podesta Group and Mercury LLC, worked in Washington with Manafort’s partner Rick Gates, according to lobbying disclosure records.

All of which puts the deep state and MSM in a rather conflicted position since it's looks increasingly likely that their efforts to expose the Trump administration could turn the spotlight back on their favorite failed candidate and her allies.
Meanwhile, Special Counsel Mueller's interest in PG comes just as the Washington Examiner (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/how-do-you-say-whoops-in-russian-podesta-group-retroactively-files-more-doj-disclosures-for-pro-putin-work/article/2632538) noted that the firm belatedly filed numerous new disclosures regarding their 'pro-Russia' work.



The Podesta Group belatedly filed multiple new disclosures with the Department of Justice (DOJ) related to their work in the Ukraine during Manafort’s campaign, the Washington Examiner reported on Thursday.

The recent August 17 filings by the Podesta Group include registration statements for six Podesta Group employees and a list of political contributions made by “relevant employees” throughout 2013.

The Podesta Group’s most recent belated filing with the DOJ on August 17 came just one day after Politico reported that a “Ukrainian member of parliament requested a criminal investigation into possible meddling by his country’s government into last year’s U.S. presidential elections.”

Trumpers: "Hillary's a crook, her campaign manager's brother was secretly lobbying for the Ukrainians/Russians."

Dems: "Trump's a crook, his campaign manager was secretly lobbying for the Ukrainians/Russians."

Me: "Yes."
