Oh, dear GOD...the one-two punch of Rudy AND Mark Penn means Mueller's days are surely NUMBERED,



Former Clinton aide comes out against Robert Mueller — doesn’t say he’s now directing a GOP consulting firm

Penn’s 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 that’s worked with Mitt Romney, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker and Rick Perry, among others, as PR Week reported in 2017.

While there’s no evidence that Penn’s 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.

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.

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."
