take a look at all the former Clinton people who are now earning a paycheck lobbying to advance the Trump agenda.


Oh man, they're still doing Greenwald's schtick of DROWNING PEOPLE IN LINKS to convince you of a conspiracy. If you check out most of those links are people who were employed by lobbying groups before the election and donated to the Clintons and are...still employed by those lobbying groups which still lobby. And if you actually go to some of those links, most of those are guilt by implication. I didn't because fuck that but clicking any of them randomly give flimsy "evidence."

Podesta, however, whose New Years Resolution was to “Make Lobbying Great Again,” has adapted to Republican rule by rebranding her lobbying firm from “Heather Podesta + Partners” to “Invariant,” a name change to reflect “an expanding bipartisan team” with ties to the Trump administration.


HOLY SHIT! Ties to Trump?? What's the smoking gun???

AMY SWONGER will lead Senate legislative affairs for the Trump White House. Swonger, who starts Wednesday, previously worked for Heather Podesta and Partners and earlier in her career for Mitch McConnell and Trent Lott. Heather Podesta told us: “While it is bittersweet to see Amy leave the firm, she brings tenacity, savvy, and know-how to any team. The White House is lucky to have her.”


Oh. A subordinate left. All her employees should sign a "Never Trump" statement in blood.

Mottur raised $95,606 for the Clinton campaign. Now, as a lobbyist for Comcast and the National Cable And Telecommunications Association, Mottur is supporting the Trump administration’s effort to undo net neutrality.

In April, when the FCC decision was announced, Mottur tweeted in support of the plan, claiming a roll back of Title II reclassification will “lead to more capital investment in telecom sector and boost economy.” Pai, the FCC chairman, liked the tweet.




Well, that checks out.



Oh, oh he's not a complete Trump shill? Shit, we can't allow that sort of impurity in the Dems.



Yeah, that author is really going after the toughest opponents.

The Intercept spoke to several progressive activists who expressed outrage that leading Democratic Party officials are now advancing the Trump agenda, but were reluctant to comment on the record, for fear of angering powerful Democrats. But a few activists, like Democracy Sping’s Newkirk, decided to speak on the record.


Leading Democratic Party officials? They did nothing but mention lobbyists the entire article. And yeah, a progressive activist said they hate Dems. Doesn't it get this exhausting to see conspiracies everywhere? Remember when that was a right-wing thing?

I say this with dead seriousness - video game journalists are better at their job than anyone at The Intercept.
