Former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta took to Twitter Tuesday to insist that he is a victim, first of Russian hackers and now of President Donald Trump.
“Not bad enough that I was the victim of a massive cyber crime directed by the Russian President. Now I’m the victim of a big lie campaign by the American President,” he wrote. “[Donald Trump] seems a lot more worried now than July 2016 when he asked the Russians to hack our campaign.”

Podesta’s tweets comes after revelations that his brother, Tony Podesta stepped down from a lobbying firm he has run for decades. President Trump has since made hay of the news on Twitter, calling it the “real” scandal.
The biggest story yesterday, the one that has the Dems in a dither, is Podesta running from his firm. What he know about Crooked Dems is….
