DOJ Decides NOT to Bring Charges against Tony Podesta (pizzagate)

submitted ago by MeatballPizza

The Podesta brothers are central figured in Pizzagate. This investigation involved lobbying in Ukraine without being registered.

Prosecutors elected not to bring any charges.

Summary and story:

Podesta is the chairman of the Podesta Group and the brother of John Podesta, who was Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign chairman. John Podesta has not been affiliated with the Podesta Group since the 1990s and was not a subject of the investigation.

Both firms were being investigated for possibly failing to file Foreign Agents Registration Act reports for their work with the ECMU and on behalf of Ukraine, NBC News has previously reported.

According to an October 2017 indictment, the two lobbying firms were paid $2 million from offshore accounts controlled by Manafort for their work on the campaign.

This could just be hopium from my part, but I think the drop is on purpose for legal reasons. "According to an October 2017 indictment, the two lobbying firms were paid $2 million from offshore accounts controlled by Manafort for their work on the campaign." First of all, $2 million is chicken scratch thereabouts, and Manafort is tied into all of this in a mysterious way. Al Capone ran a heavy duty operation before taxes brought him down, and Hillary's dad took over. Fifth Amendment - U.S. Constitution - FindLaw

Tony has also been a friend of Denny Hastert a convicted pedophile from Illinois. They go way back to a Japanese Island the visited over 50 years ago. Dirty business.

Maybe this:

Other big banana charges are coming his way (eventually).

DOJ does not want a small potatoes case

hung up in the courts for years to distract

from heavier offenses such as pizzagate related

offenses including sacrificial murder.

Isn't that weird how Tony Podesta isn't making any life signals even in article about him?

Podesta did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for the Southern District of New York declined to comment.

YogSoggoth ago

What was that? I replied once and twice?

YogSoggoth ago

If he did, then he would have to come out of hiding. After not being able to walk down the street for years, Tony and the others might be rightfully paranoid.

Wow... this entire world system is so freakin corrupt and vile. I just want to see this sick asshole rot in jail but I guess that will have to wait until he goes to hell.

... We will create a NEW. GOVERNMENT... Because what is the point of. This one? It does not function

There were never gonna be charges against Tony Podesta. He gave testimony as a witness for Mueller against Manafort and was given immunity.

If you think he’s going to get charged with anything, Comey included you’re fucked. They’re too connected and they’ll never convict someone with the US “just us” system.

Lol retard, if they charged Lori Laughlin the Podestas are getting the full experience. Sorry it’s not happening quickly enough for your rabbi.

Low hanging fruit for appeasement? Or did one or two of them threaten to expose Deep State leadership?

They are a diversion for the FBI corruption that is protecting compromised Congress on down.

BKAtheManScout ago

I, along with many others, hope you are wrong :/

Oh_Well_ian ago

this is an unrelated NOTHING BURGER

Mueller brought these charges to create the impression that he was a WHITE HAT, knowing full well it's a minor infraction and Tony was not going to be charged, anyway.

They have bigger problems than "international lobbying unregistered".

CaptnObvius ago

Decided not to bring FARA charges, but doesn't mean there aren't other charges out there coming. Yep, you're right.

NoBS ago

It also means that Pedo-Blackmail is controlling the narrative. It tells the many headed snake that they hold all the cards. So they get better at body and evidence disposal or die.

HelloDolly ago

Yea, I think this is a little like the decision not to prosecute Comey for leaks.

pixelkitteh ago

exactly, why eat the worm before you catch the fish.

NoBS ago

Because a secondary crime is a different charge and NOT double indemnity. This different charge also means they need be tried at a second jurisdiction. Third and fourth jurisdiction's are also how we can bankrupt them. Just like they do to the President and his supporters.

YogSoggoth ago

I sure wouldn't want to be caught jay waking in the 13th circuit, and I reckon I owe Chicago about a million dollars for running those toll booths. Screw Orlando.

QuestionEverything ago

Justice department not in patriots hands still.

Thats how they almost screwed us all: they had 'control'. Deep staters in key positions.

They just keep showing themselves. WHO ACTUALLY CLEARED PODESTA(s)?. Need some names.

CaJuN-M8 ago

He'll dumbass it's basically like the comey thing. Trumps DOJ will not go for the lesser charges but the more serious ones like KIDDIE DIDDLING.

NoBS ago

Impossible to prove if the evidence has been destroyed even before the need to "Epstein" any witness.

I suspect the Whitey Bulger and Pedo Espstein are fucking pre-teens abroad while we are groomed into irrational anger that requires a gun grab due to civil war.

So they get to continue to walk free for a few more years on the hope justice will come? Any other person would be rotting in jail awaiting trial.

So two tiered justice. Awesome. At least we know who the traitors who defend this nonsense are.
