Haven’t been fond of this slogan, but here it rings true.... #DrainTheSwamp
You must be kidding. Kadzik is the Assistant AG for Legislative Affairs, so he is in charge of DOJ liaison to Congress, not in charge of the investigation. He even says that the Civil Division representatives will be testifying on Capitol Hill. He is NOT in charge of the investigation, but every agency has a liaison to Congress because they have oversight and budget responsibilities. That position, in any agency is almost always a political appointee.
But the investigation divisions? There are many fine federal employees who serve our country in public service year after year, dealing with the ins and outs of whatever political party at the top of the pyramid. They are both good at their jobs and rarely pull punches.
Kadzik let Podesta know that emails of a former Administration official would likely be questioned by Congress. This is no secret. Congress publishes a list of their hearings. But sometimes they come up fast. Congress actually tells agencies what they want to know in advance because want answers, not we don't know. Testimony is not some kind of "gotcha" moment. That's not back channel to to tell a staffer (Podesta) that their principal (Clinton) will be discussed at a Congressional hearing.
There was a time when I once had to prepare a number of Republican nominees for their jobs. I also asked the agency congressional liaison office to find out what particular issues/questions were of interest to members of Congress. We passed that info onto the nominees so they could give their views clearly and concisely. This was to save time and to ensure important points were covered.
A debate is different. In that situation, people want to see how you do "on the fly" Telling someone that there is a public Congressional hearing scheduled in which they will be mentioned is not backchannel at all.
Don't all you Trump posters get tired of trying to live in a state of "perpetual outrage"?
Well I admit it is less fun than living in the Clinton world of "Friends with benefits."

Perhaps his job title -- Assistant AG for Legislative Affairs -- might have provided a clue for Trumpsters.
That would mean that Trumpsters would have a clue, when that is clearly not the case.

As if Trump hasn't spent the entirety of adult life starfucking his way into the same room as the "elites." The unwashed masses don't have their own planes and helps, aren't living in Trump Plaza or buying memberships at Mar-a-Lago or Doral.
Most articles on Trump say he's sort of a homebody, not many friends, has trouble trusting non-family. At the Al Smith dinner he called out how phony everyone in the room was. Basically, "I thought you were my friends... then I stopped giving you money and ran for president... and you all stabbed me in the back. It's interesting."
I think he's going to squeeze many of the bloodsucking 'elites' if he wins. And I can't wait.

So I'm just reluctantly prepared to put up with four more years of business as usual until Republicans put forth a reasonable alternative. If I have to choose between two corrupt individuals, I will always choose the one who isn't a moron.
Well-said. It's a sickening state of affairs all around.

We're not defending it. We're just saying we don't care.
Unitl it affects you and it will be too late?
You can still vote for Hillary, but to say that you don't care about this exposure of Washington corruption? That's crazy.
I don't think Hillary's supporters are crazy, they just ignorant. They don't read the orignial sources or different sources of information. They get their information from 1-2 sites that brainwashed them. And then they take an ostrich position "I don't care" becasue they don't have enough information to make an intelligent decision.
You may be right.
It wasn't a Hillary supporter pointing and screaming "Media Matters David Brock!" when someone pointed out that Kadzik is in no way "in charge of the email probe."
Exactly. This is a stupid bit of nonsense. These guys are friendly -- stop the presses! High powered people in Washington know each other! OP has the vapors!
i wonder if he'll give Podesta another "heads up" about things in this investigation..or if he has been all along.
I always found it so weird how confident it was that she would not face charges (and not because she's actually innocent).
Hence, that disgusting arrogance.

It can't happen before the election. Would be viewed as proof of DOJ taint. And Hillary never admits an error. So he's in place for the near term durstion.
Kadzik is the taint.
Oh there's more in there. Maybe look for the names of other DOJ political appointees in the stash of emails....
