Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group are now the subjects of a federal investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, three sources with knowledge of the matter told NBC News.
This is a Democratic lobbying firm. Looks like they got caught up with the same area of investigation Trump's campaign manager was.

Not only a Democratic lobbying firm, but the brother of John Podesta, Hillary Clintons 2016 U.S Election campaign manager....

Huh. Perhaps it's a decoy to throw people off from the bias and conflict of interest in the investigation you complained about earlier?

In a way yes but he's also clumsy and far from diplomatic in his use of language which does cause others concern or offence and does cause him a lot of problems. I made that point here around the time when Trump was first elected. He's not a 'slick operator' in the mould of say Blair, Cameron, Clinton, Obama and I reckon they've all told more than their fair share of porkies both in and out of office the vast majority of which we'll never know about. Trump is far more WYSIWYG.

Perhaps, but it’s not my complaint, I’m only echoing sentiments from Trumps legal team. Of course, they’d say that but if Mueller has involved Clinton funded people on his Grand Jury panel, then I don’t possibly see any result of a prosecution, down the line as a reasonable and fair process.

To be clear as of yet this isn't the Podesta linked to Clinton. He isn't part of the investigation, at this time anyway.

A US Republican senator says he will not seek re-election, delivering a fierce attack on President Donald Trump. Arizona Senator Jeff Flake said "reckless, outrageous and undignified behaviour" at the top of the US government was dangerous to democracy.

It's the amount of enemies he's making in is own party that's going to be the Donald's downfall.

His bullying, childish and pathetic tweeting attacks on anyone, even on his 'own side', reveal what a lowlife he is.

Goes to show how little you know. These Republican Senators are already Anti-Trumpers. Majority of Republican voters are happy to see them go, that’s the vibe I’m reading from Republican groups.

Correction, it's the vibe you're reading from the narrow set of pro-Trump sources you choose to follow.

That’s not a correction, but thanks for trying and I wouldn’t call a group with 8,000,000+ in it “narrow”. I don’t do narrow, that’s your forte. ;)

Why are your views more or less narrow than Mr K's? You both have different views on Trump and other matters and that makes the world a more interesting place. But it doesn't make either of your views narrow.

Clue: I didn’t start with the ‘narrowness’ here. :angel:

President Donald Trump has ordered the release of nearly 3,000 files on John F Kennedy assassination.
But he blocked the release of other files, citing national security concerns.
Senior administration officials did not divulge the contents of the files being shared by the National Archives on Thursday.
Conspiracy theories have swirled since President Kennedy was fatally shot in Dallas, Texas, on 22 November 1963.
