Tony Podesta is @johnpodesta’s brother. He was a big-shot lobbyist who closed his firm when Manafort was clipped by Mueller.
Why?
They both worked together on Ukraine items; Tony was a vehicle for Manafort. He could have been charged. He wasn’t. He instead closed shop.
John was one of ten board members at Joule. 3 members were Russians who served there as result of the Putin-funded Rusnano having investing in the firm; which collapsed when Hillary’s campaign ended in 2016.
My point?
Tony and John could have possibly been charged with FARA.
The Foreign Agent Registrarion Act requires operatives to register when they get paid to lobby foreign government interests. People rarely get charged with this and many people rushed to register after Manafort’s case.
This is the given investigation against @RudyGiuliani. FARA.
This is the total horse crap of a case against @RudyGiuliani at this time; one that powerful people on the other political side get away with it and were sure not raided by 7 agents 6:00 AM.
One the Feds have a “legit” investigation like FARA, they can look into other stuff.

The grand juries and raids against people on the Trump side (over issues that are usually not prosecuted and/or done without raids), show you that the email and IRS abuse investigations were jokes. Mueller (FBI head until late 2013) and Comey held the line for the Obama Admin.
Mueller figured out how to charge Trump’s Manafort’s Rick Gates’ Van Der Zwan for lying about a legal meeting unrelated to collusion. That’s a prosecution six degrees of separation from Trump Colluding.
Michel Cohen’s father-in-law faced charges so Cohen pled guilty.
Many who opine about vaccines are clueless, so their default responses is to yell “anti-vaxx” as @HaMeturgeman noted. But if you are informed pls address: Fauci suggested that Covid vaccines for kids R to protect them (he didn’t say herd). Considering the data, why is it needed?
This is Fauci’s latest words on Coronavirus vaccines for kids of all ages and the reason why they need it. When you listen to it, please note the data above and please try to address it like an informed adult; not a mindless zombie repeating buzzwords. Go:
“There is no indication that these penalties promoted compliance with departure obligations,” DHS Secretary Mayorkas said in a statement. “We can enforce our immigration laws without resorting to ineffective and unnecessary punitive measures.”
.@SecMayorkas says he stopped imposing fines of $500 per day on illegal immigrants who stay here since it does not help.
Sure not — If you don’t go after it!
If the IRS imposed fines for non/late filers without threat of seizing bank accounts, those fines would also not work.
I really don’t get @SecMayorkas’s given reason for stopping to impose fines on those who ignore orders to leave. Perhaps his thinking can be applied to parking tickets and taxes too. If the thinking works for Guatemalans, then why not on Americans?
Those who oppose the officer’s action are refusing to show you this video and pretend that what we see here didn’t happen because they know that the officer with great marksmanship and speed-thinking saved someone’s life with not even a second to spare. Whoa!
The assailant with the knife had already pushed back the would-be victim a few feet pinning her against the car.
This was no “knife fight” as @ValerieJarrett lied yesterday.
The victim took no threatening stance in the seconds before the stabbing that the skilled-Cop stopped.
If not for propaganda, the officer would be paraded as a hero for having the speed and skill to stop a violent crime mid-stream with a quarter of a second time to decide and without bullets flying onto others.
LOOK AT THE VIDEO and tell me it ain’t so, you liars and chickens!
People are just not serious about policing issues. If you think a Cop should have stepped back when someone was mid-knife attack on a teen (and not done in a self defense way), then you are a joker. Total clown.
@EWErickson@EsotericCD If you are principled, what does “your own side” even mean? Why have a political side? Go with principles. No?
And if your side is the GOP, why undermine them in a way that helps the other side win politically which they then use to implement policy against your principles?
@EWErickson@EsotericCD Bush 43 says he voted for @CondoleezzaRice in 2020. You can bet that thousands of useful idiot Republicans/Cons did the same in key states, causing Biden/Dems to win narrowly.
Then idiots go and complain about Biden/Dems.
STOP WHINING! You did it so live with the consequences.
