AP confirms tony podesta is under investigation

And a new face emerges: well respected Ex representative Vin Weber of Minnesota, a moderate republican who was vocally against trump, who is now a giant in the lobbying world

This probe is going to knock out A LOT of huge figures in the lobbying industry

Vin Weber was a very respected politician on both sides

Would be sad if he was found to be dirty

No it wouldn't. It would be a good thing to expose a corrupt piece of shot.

I recommend we nuke K Street from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

I forget where but earlier this week I saw someone predict Weber and Podesta to be the next two indicted. May have been reddit.

My guess is they already know they will be. Manafort was told months ago by the investigation, if you believe his attorney.

They should run lobbyist stings like they run prostitution stings.

John McCain is thoroughly fricked if Vin Weber is under investigation. He is your dossier connection to McCain

This really isn't new.

The Podesta and Mercury firms being tied to Manafort has been an open secret all year in DC.

And the two firms confirmed they'd received subpoenas for records from Mueller back in August, if I remember correctly.

Podesta is slime. Weber is only slightly better.

By the way, David Vitter is co-chair of Mercury. He landed there earlier this year after losing the governor's race.

I'd love for Rick Wilson and Steve Schmidt and Liz Mair to be caught up in this and lose their careers
