The former chairman of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, John Podesta, has joined The Washington Post as a contributing columnist, the paper announced on Thursday.
Podesta, who also served as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton and a counselor to President Barack Obama, has recently written two op-eds for the Post.
The first, published in December, was about the the FBI's investigation into Russian hacking of the Democratic National Committee. The second, published last week, was about President Donald Trump's penchant for dismissing all criticism of himself as "fake news."
The Post says Podesta's columns "will provide commentary and analysis on the intersection of politics and policy, the Trump administration and the future of the Democratic Party."
“No one knows more about how Washington works, how the White House operates, and how policy ideas are translated into reality than John Podesta,” said Editorial Page Editor Fred Hiatt in a statement. “His long experience in Congress, inside two Democratic White Houses and on the front lines of numerous presidential campaigns, will offer readers vital insight into Washington and politics at the start of a new era.”

They are both corrupt but the CIA has always been the more corrupt of the two. CIA is so segmented and people in the organization aren't allowed to see what others in the organization do so anyone that wants to make a personal profit can. In fact that is incentivized because CIA needs funds that are outside of US budget so illegal activities are used to launder money. What's to stop a guy from expanding the scope of his illegal activity and pocketing a bunch?
