This topic has been previously covered but I thought considering Tony Podesta's new issues with his lobbying group having represented a Chinese company criminally convicted in March of sending illegal shipments of telecom equipment to Iran - thought it was worth a review.

Thaci is the President of Kosovo and has been accused of involvement with KLA organ trafficking. He has also been notably close with the Clintons, and attended a CGI meeting.

Albani has also noted by sources like PBS to be centers of Human Trafficking. That Tony Podesta would represent the Albanian government is indicative not just of the depth of the Washington swamp - it also indicates a possible method of trafficking which should be seriously considered in our pizzagate/pedogate investigations.

Info spam follows. Hope others investigate this further - there has alredy been good work on the ties between Thaci/KLA and organ trafficking, but if Albania as a hub for organ trafficking and Podesta's (potential) ties to organized crime might be a new angle on this if anyone else can find more.

"NATO knew Hashim Thaci was criminal

"Leaked NATO documents that describe Kosovo Albanian PM as one of the "biggest fish" in organized crime in Kosovo." "The article also incriminates Xhavit Haliti, "a former head of logistics for the KLA who is now a close ally of the prime minister and a senior parliamentarian in his ruling PDK party", whom the Marty report named as a member of the so-called Drenica Group." "the NATO documents are marked secret, and reveal that America and other western backing Kosovo's government "have had extensive knowledge of its criminal connections for several years.. Haliti is linked with the Albanian mafia in the report, which also suggests that he is the person who "exerts considerable control over Thaci". "NATO documents to describe Haliti as "highly involved in prostitution, weapons and drugs smuggling", who "serves as a political and financial adviser to the prime minister". Haliti uses a fake passport to travel abroad because he is black-listed in several countries, including the U.S., according to this."

Wiki page: Organ Theft in Kosovo

"It matters not only for international justice, not only for the Serbs, it matters also for the Kosovo Albanians who have such leaders. If these leaders are criminals, if they face accusations of being criminals, they cannot create a democratic order," Lubonja said. ....."Verica Tomanović of the Association of the Families of the Missing Kosovo Serbs says that while this NGO knew that people were transferred from Kosovo to Albania, and that illegal prisons existed there, concrete data and lists of the victims were never revealed. "When we talk about executions of non-Albanians in northern Albania, that was not done by Albanian citizens, but by KLA members. And that is the essence," Serbian War Crimes Prosecution spokesman Bruno Vekarić says.

"Organ theft in Kosovo (sometimes also known as the "yellow house" case) refers to the organ harvesting and killing of an indeterminate number of disappeared people. Various sources had estimated that the number of victims ranged from a "handful",[1] up to 50,[2] between 24 to 100[3] to over 300.[4] The victims were believed to be of Serbian nationality, killed by perpetrators with strong links to the Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK) in 1999.
