Where the hell does this guy get off?
John Podesta, the former chairman of the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, just sent a stark warning to Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of President Trump and a senior advisor in the White House.
In response to a Washington Post article about Jared being manipulated by Administration staffers, Podesta said the following on Twitter:
Seems like those “unnamed sources peddling second-hand hearsay with rank speculation that continue to leak inaccurate information,” came straight from 1600 Penn. Jared better start wearing his kevlar on his back. https://t.co/Aps6BEkJDd

Kevlar, of course, refers to a material used in the making of bullet-proof vests. So what is Podesta implying here? An imminent attack?
As a Clinton lackey, Podesta has plenty of slimy connections, including with his criminal brother. In fact, Robert Mueller, the Special Counsel in charge of the investigation into possible Trump campaign connections with the Russian government, is even looking into the Podesta Group, a huge Democrat lobbying firm in Washington.
Podesta is trying to imply that there are untrustworthy leakers within the Trump White House, and that Jared, already an unpopular and unseasoned staffer, may be a target of their attacks. From the Post report:
Officials in at least four countries have privately discussed ways they can manipulate Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and senior adviser, by taking advantage of his complex business arrangements, financial difficulties and lack of foreign policy experience, according to current and former U.S. officials familiar with intelligence reports on the matter.
This is also rumor peddling and nothing else. The press is desperate for juicy gossip from the White House. Reporters will swallow and regurgitate whatever salacious nonsense Administration officials feed them.
It’s all a pathetic game that only Washington wins, and the rest of us lose.
