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.”

Random Question (not worthy of a post): David Seaman both speaks and writes emphatically as it has been "proven 100%" that Podesta is a child torturer and rapist. It is difficult to be as emphatic as DS unless you have seen real and actual proof, like full video. DS seems to be a pretty rational type of guy, so I am wondering if through his contacts he was able to get that absolute 100%. I know I couldn't write what he is writing on a public forum unless I had seen it for myself. Think Alex Jones is the same? Or, they are completely making it all up.

Jones was freaking out about pedo tape torture videos he watched a few weeks before the election (sobbing on air).

I couldn't tell if he is just an oaf when he cries or he was faking/forcing it.

I believe all the incriminating video evidence is out there i.e. LEO has it and select media folks. I think it is just so huge...it almost like 2008 'too big to fail' argument. These sickos are holding our country/world hostage somehow. I pray that doesn't end with a bail out. I cannot see how average citizens can respect the law if there is no accountability amongst the 'law makers'z
