Former Clinton aide comes out against Robert Mueller doesnt say hes now directing a GOP consulting firm
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/former-clinton-aide-comes-robert-mueller-doesnt-say-hes-now-directing-gop-consulting-firm/
Penns position might seem odd given his past work with the Clintons. In his bio, the Hill notes that he worked as an advisor to Bill Clinton and an aid to Hillary Clinton in 2008. But what the biography leaves out is the Penn is currently head of the Stagwell group, a public relations and consulting firm. According to their website, the group holds a stake in a GOP digital agency thats worked with Mitt Romney, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker and Rick Perry, among others, as PR Week reported in 2017.
While theres no evidence that Penns financial stake in GOP politics influenced his opinion on the Mueller probe, critics questioned whether his work for Stagwell presents a conflict of interest that should be addressed in his bio.

Mueller is ok for now. t-rump probably knows his days are numbered cause Pence is taking more bullshit so called responsibility.

His handling of HRC's 2008 primary campaign suggests a deliberate attempt at sabotage.

He has been a disaster for every Dem candidate he has represented since the 90s and he has been utterly incapable of running an effective campaign For decades.
Thank God this a**hole is on their side now!

If he stunk as a consultant, maybe he was paid more by the opposition to stink at it.

(9,696 posts)8. That was my thought as well. Only question being why did
dems keep paying him if he was so bad? that's on them.

He was a big player at that scumbag firm. Rachel did a feature on them a few years ago. "When evil needs public relations, they call Burson Marsteller."
