China’s Huawei Tech was black-listed by President Trump’s administration due to the inherent national security risk from Chinese spyware being installed in the operating hardware of their cell phone technology. The Biden administration has maintained that status.
However, despite the ban Hauwei ramped up lobbyist spending in the second quarter of this year. [Bloomberg] “Huawei spent $1.06 million in the second quarter of 2021, up from $180,000 in the first quarter this year, according to disclosures filed Tuesday. The company listed broadband and infrastructure bills as specific interests, as well as trade and a digital privacy measure.”
Today Politico is revealing that Tony Podesta, the infamous Democrat lobbyist who organized the money laundering system for the Clinton Foundation, has been hired as a lobbyist by Hauwei.
POLITICO – Huawei is hiring Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta as a consultant, according to two people familiar with the matter. Podesta will aim to help the controversial Chinese telecom giant warm relations with the Biden administration.
Podesta will work to advance a variety of the company’s goals in Washington, according to one of the people. He declined to comment. A spokesperson for Huawei also declined to comment. (read more)
The suspicious cats remain, well, suspicious…
I guess Hunter would have been ‘a bridge too far’
He has a lucrative career as a painter. The CCP love his work.
Who is buying his paintings?
You know that. The people who bought the most of Joe Biden through Hunter Rembrandt.
Rumor has it that Podesta just purchased one for $1.6 Million. A colorful oil of flowers and a bowl of fruit in the morning light.
In support of rehabilitation, of course
I heard it was a crack pipe hanging from hunter’s mouth.
That would not fit well with the other artwork Podesta fancies. He prefers sculptures of Dahmer’s victims.
Doesn’t he fancy Abramovich’s Artistry … esp. her series titled … “Spirit Cooking”?
Don’t worry … it’s not a Satanic cult or in any way related to ritual pedophilia …
I think that’s his brother John.
Wonder why Biden had sucking baby blood on the brain…..
Yes…that one seems to have flown over most people’s heads — why indeed? Not what you would call a normal thing a normal person hatches onto now is it? But of course the Mainslime Media played it off…scum
One can only imagine the banter he overheard between King Emperor Shadow President Black BO, Susan Rice, and Persian KGB Princess Mz Valerie.
GingerJen and Mr. Green Jones were probably there too.
Hunter and Podestas have that love of the arts…..
Manafort’s team enlisted Podesta Group in its efforts to sanitize the reputation of Ukraine’s Russia-friendly president Viktor Yanukovych.
PROTECTED Podesta was not charged with wrongdoing, but shut down his firm and stepped back from lobbying after Manafort’s indictment. He spent several years in the political wilderness, focused on selling art. In early July, he caught the attention of Washington with a splashy New York Times story revealing he wanted to re-enter the fray.
“I don’t want to recreate what I had, but I sort of miss working, and art alone doesn’t sustain me, because I love politics,” he told the Times.
but art is a fabulous way to launder money, surprised it couldn’t sustain him.
This statute in Tony Podesta’s home is reminiscent of Jeffrey Dahmer’s “art”
More “art” owned by the Podesta’s. A few of the artist also had work on display at C*met P*zza. Do your own research about the red shoes
saw pictures of the art at comet. same as podesta’s. sick.
the podesta art collection is something you can’t unsee after you see it. gruesome.
I thought child portraits were more his thing?
yes
a bowl of dope in the light of a seedy motel room
Must have been poppies and dragon fruit!
Stop asking questions, peasant! You have no need of that information and even asking for it proves that you are probably racist!
/sarc
Peasants uprising.
Prepare for a 3 month protest. No food, no electricity, no help.
It’s our only peaceful way to stop the complete extermination of us.
Peaceful usually doesn’t work. Didn’t for The Founders.
Personally prefer to leave the /sarc tag off just to get a reaction on most sites.
Ssh! You’re not allowed to ask that!
Chinese ministry of culture
huawei may become the proud owners of some
Nah, that connection doesn’t need Huawei as a cut out.
Not surprised in the slightest. These pigs all feed at the same trough…
Not terribly bright, are they? All they had to do was buy a painting with that money.
SD, Shirley you are not implying that there is something to see here? These are good, upright law abiding people. There is nuffin to see here. Nuf a darn fin.
This is not Paul Manafort you know…
speaking of manafort, which podesta was the one who worked with him but was never prosecuted?
The one and the same tony podesta…
This country is being run by some type of mafia.
Watch the longest version of Once Upon A Time In America you can find.
There are three versions.
Your comment brought the film to mind.
Global criminals
Headquartered in Beijing.
Kleen, Kharzanian mafia to be exact.
No.
Search engine – Vichy government.
R F helped with reference
Precisely, with Communist China as Nazi Germany and Red Pooh as Hitler.
Gangsters and pedophiles
and ChiCom Quislings
Satanists
I disagree.
When I was a kid there was Mafia around in our area of growing up.
Never did we see, hear, or witness anything remotely close to this type of Fascism.
Mafia was all about loyalty to the family and fighting the criminals, including the government.
Bingo.
If you call the Chinese Politburo and Their American Quisling Fifth Column “some type of Mafia”, correct.
How did she know to remove her mother from the PA nursing home before the Covid shut down?
It’s really something that she now works for the OBiden Admin.
Gosh— if she found out something about nursing home plans of the PA Gov, she could have been a powerful whistleblower. And yet, somehow, she ends up with a sweet position.
How did she…
Not she. HE.
He is the biological FATHER of his children.
not a “birthing person”
The same damn way that Cuomo knew…..
Elderly have no value for Obiden’s DOJ.
Nobody does.
https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/07/pentagon-reportedly-tracking-web-searches-including-phrase-the-truth-about-black-lives-matter/
“Reports circulating Tuesday reveal that the Pentagon is working with a contractor to track web searches that it describes as indicators of “white supremacy,” citing the phrase “the truth about black lives matter” as one example.”
I don’t know if this contractor is Tony Podesta and crew, but you can bet he, she, it is a Democrat Party operative/supporter.
they probably hate my search history. i have no social media presence, however.
If Tony Podesta was a republican he’d have already been Roger Stoned YEARS ago………
Along with his brother.
There needs to be a new law that prohibits lobbying of all elected officials. Let’s make congress responsible for making the laws without the outside funding of their lavish lifestyles.
Make a new law? Who cares — they only enforce them against people who aren’t “in” with them — and against those types they just make things up and/or frame them anyway, FBI etc. — we are way past the “needs to be a new law” situation….

“The suspicious cats remain, well, suspicious…”
Meanwhile, all too many Americans are deaf, dumb and blind.
“If man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man, but deteriorate the cat.”
Yup
One million is nothing. That’s how Podesta are like cheap whores.
Podesta is an original, pure bread Clintonista.
The Clinton’s got caught marching Chinese Nationals (fellow traveling commies) through the White House with bags of cash over a quarter century ago and – with the help of RINO John McCain – nothing was ever done about it.
Some things never change.
I haven’t been this surprised since Barry Manilow announced he was gay.
Clinton gave them the Nuke guidance system so their rockets would reach us too, before that they could barely get them of the launching pad…was a proven fact but of course the DOJ did nothing….
Not one suspicious cat! But four! Big time suspicious.
Tony don’t forget 10% for the big guy.
This isn’t surprising at all. Tony and John Podesta were both involved in Chinagate. In 1994, Silicon Graphics, along with Tandem and several other major computer companies, hired Tony Podesta to lobby for them. Tony organized secret meetings in the White House attended by these companies’ CEOs. This was about the same time that Ron Brown was put in sole charge of signing off on technology exports. Within weeks of those meetings, the Russians and Communist Chinese were buying formerly restricted computer technology… like super computers from them.
Those computers (and their software) allowed Russia and China to make great strides in nuclear weapons and other technologies … including the manufacture of super computers. Since White House advisors were prohibited by law from working on matters in which they have a direct financial interest, John Podesta violated those laws … and he and his brother did our National Security great harm. But Bill Clinton and his DOJ couldn’t care less … as long as the illegal campaign contributions kept flowing into Clinton and DNC coffers … contributions that allowed them to steal the 1996 election.
The computers sold to China helped the People’s Liberation Army Air Force design and build their first supersonic nuclear bomber. In 1996, IBM and Silicon Graphics sold super-computers directly to a Russian nuclear weapons lab. Those labs announced in January 1999 that they had deployed a new 550 kiloton thermonuclear warhead that they had tested using US supplied super-computers. IBM eventually was fined $8 million on that sale. Silicon Graphics was investigate but not charged (but should have been). In 1997 the GAO wrote a report stating that “Silicon Graphics sold four computers to Chelyabinsk-70 in the fall of 1996 for $650,000.” Chelyabinsk-70 was a well known Russian nuclear weapons lab.
When this became public in 1997, John Podesta obtained an after the fact waiver from the Clinton White House counsel to protect him from the potential legal conflict of interest he shared with his brother. To this day, John Podesta has refused to produce that document when asked. And like John, Tony Podesta is still creating mischief. Tony’s own website boasted about Newsweek in 2009 including him as one of eight lobbyists in “The Obama Orbit” and Financial Times dubbing him and his wife “The Biggest ‘Power Couple on K Street”. So of course the Chinese would want to hire him. Treason pays and and will continue paying fat dividends to him as long as the uniparty and the morons who keep putting them in power turn a blind eye to it. Just saying …
They were also the middle men for the Uranium One deal. John received ~900,000 in stock options that he transferred to his daughter when he went to work in the Obama administration.
and what happened to ron brown?
In a town full of Creeps, more creepy than Hunter Biden.
Ever see his demonic kiddy porn art collection?
Hold your lunch, and anger.

Heather & Tony Podesta are now divorced. Her first time in DC she helped pass NAFTA.
John isn’t much better. He has that large cannibalism portrait.
I guess this is proof that anyone who supports the Democrats, including Tony Podesta, ( anyone working with or for the Clinton’s = major corruption), has no shame….
even if they are lobbying for Communist China.
FARA registration no longer needed unless you are a true American
Translation: go find out who we have to pay and how much.
Democrats hold the White House. China has dirt on Hunt3r Biden. Democrat corporatist are thrilled the pressure on China is off as they pour money and support to the dems and their causes. The DOJ and FBI have zero interest in rocking this boat while they target Trumpworld and its supporters. No Anerican company is interested in upsetting the CCP. Lots of payola from CCP to American players. Nothing will happen to Podesta and the media has no interest in seeing anything happen.
At what point does the rot and filth in DC consume itself and go the way that all rot and filth go? This is disgusting.
At this point I’m convinced they live on the rot and filth as sustainence.
Never.
If we want the toilet flushed we’ll have to do it ourselves.
Pretty important for everyone here to see this documentary. True story on Hauwei, which is an arm of the CCP. You will recall a high ranking Hauwei exec in Canada was detained at the request of the US govt and then triggered China to arrest 3 innocent Canadians in China. They are still held under arrest to this day.
After watching this one hour documentary, then draw parallels of your own to Podesta. The Claws of the Red Dragon.
One word for tony. SCUM
Lobbying is like an iceberg, you only see the tip of it.
No need to be suspicious anymore. The 2020 election fraud has confirmed all of mine.
They arent hiding anything anymore.
Podesta is merely the bagman. Too much attention on Hunter is making the Chinese uncomfortable.
Anyway, Hunter is occupied with his art. Btw, if you don’t like Hunter’s art you are a white supremacist.
How much art did Hunter sell BEFORE his father was installed as president?
Manafort got raped, and this fool gets rewarded.
This shit is going to far.
Oh come on.
It was too far in The Clinton years.
That’s over 2 decades ago.
We did nothing then, we’re doing nothing now.
The Podestas are enemies of our nation. But nothing ever happens.
One thing that happened for Tony 4 years ago was that Obama bought a mansion only 3-4 doors down the street from Tony. ValJar has been living there ever since. She must be running a war room because the house is said to have two big fiber lines coming in and space to park 16 vehicles.
Birds of a feather and all that.
That crooked smile reminds of Peter Strzok’s facial contortions before Congress.
Must be getting hard for US intel to recruit spies for deployment in China, since any potential prospects would know that Swawell would expose them in return for a red envelope and another happy ending with Fang Fang.
Podesta will work to advance a variety of the company’s goals in America per Politico. Sounds very sinister to me.
And of course his political connections were never a factor in hiring him.
I wonder how many of Hunter Biden’s “paintings” will wind up in Huawei offices?
Recall that it was the Podesta’s firm that actually committed the crimes which were used by Mueller to snare Paul Manafort.
These guys were the gate way into the Ukraine.
The scum is thick and it’s smelling morbidly rank. How is it these vermin look themselves in the mirror?
Easily, tenderly, self-lovingly.
They are both in love with themselves, well satisfied, and proud of themselves.
You think Hitler or Stalin or Mao had a problem looking in the mirror?
Demons don’t have a soul.
Is Tony as smart as John? Maybe his computer password is ‘China’
Did Tony register as a foreign lobbyist? FARA and all you know …
OY Vay!
I think all fits in perfectly.
Everyone is coming out of the woodwork, now that they are all comfortable and happy shoving the Big Steal in our Deplorable Faces.
This is the Big F.U. Deplorables!
We stole it! We did real Good! We get everything we want! When we want it! Where we want it! How we want it!
You Deplorables will do as you are told or you will pay the consequences.
We ALMOST Destroyed Donald John Trump and His ILK and even though he is only wounded and not destroyed, we are still claiming Victory. We will TAKE the SPOILS and move quickly Before he completes his final move.
They know that PDJT is still out and about. They know he will do whatever he must to destroy them and quite frankly I think he’s got them on the run.
So much is being exposed, at their expense!
At some point, even the dumbest of the dumb is gonna get hungry and look for a place to pee.
I am inclined to believe they are not familiar with some of the ideas presented in Machiavelli’s The Prince.
Their mistake was not destroying him the first time around. Everything after just compounded the initial failure and will feed into the retribution that is their due. Karma perhaps.
I concur they are confident they won.
But I also believe they are confident they are unassailable.
Who has assailed them with effect?
No one.
Didn’t Sleepy Joe say something to the effect of being tough on China?
The Democrats don’t mind Podesta making a few bucks off of the commies at the same time the commies are putting sanctions against former Trump administration officials.
Somewhere the Big Guy has gotta be getting a cut.
Is the fat F being required to register as a foreign agent?ALL these two timing POS’s who take money from the CCP MUST be required to register as a foreign agent, including the MSM. Any Chinese corporation is the CCP.
China will ultimately prevail and dominant the world as the USA declines. They know how to exploit the capitalists who will sell out their country for a buck. Sad but true.
Oh I still hold out hope we’ll nuke em
Are they paying him in 10-year-olds?
Have any of these people filed the requisite Paid by Foreign Powers paperwork? Why has Politico not reported on this?
Don’t forget Tony, 10% of your salary for the big-guy
Huawei “Technologies” must have hung up their sign stating Help Wanted only scumbags need apply.
And whamo.
This Tony Podesta did so.
China manufactured a biological weapon in the form of a virus and unleashed it on the world population and so far has got away with it. Something very wong with this picture.
Isn’t Tony a big art investor?
So tell us again — who is he going to be lobbying? The big guy?
How could the China-Biden relationship get any “warm”er? By spooning, maybe?
