- The Podestas are lobbyists. Their job is to twist politicians' arms. I'm sure I don't need to explain the use of kompromat in that job to you.
- John Podesta is the archetype of the man who goes in and out of the revolving door between government and business. He's in a long line of East Coast grey eminences, and, again, the use of kompromat in that line is well established.
- The art in Tony Podesta's house creeps me the fuck out, I seriously cannot imagine who would proudly show that shit off to their friends.
- Tony Podesta's holiday with Denny Hastert
- The relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and the Clintons, at a time when the Podestas were managing the Clintons and David Brock was working for them. It definitely seems like more of a relationship than that between Epstein and Donald Trump, which has come out in the underage rape accusation against Trump.
- David Brock evidently has no political affiliation based on ideology at all. He does what it takes to be on the winning side.
- Same with the Podestas, who partnered with David Mattoon when the latter left the National Republican Congressional Committee. The Podesta Group CEO, Kimberley Fritts, is described on their website as "a veteran GOP political operative'". I wouldn't make too much of the labels - the point for these guys is to help the careers of politicians whom they can influence on behalf of their corporate clients. The more absolute their control the better.
- Brock paid his ex-boyfriend $850,000 as part of a settlement including non-disclosure terms. That is a shitload of money. It's generally thought to be about tax evasion related to a beach house, but Brock reportedly called it "blackmail." It seems very high, doesn't it? Arguably more than a guy like him would be fined by the IRS?
- Brock came to the attention of the mighty by attacking Anita Hill, who was accusing her (slightly) older and (considerably) more powerful former boss Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment.

I hadn't paid any attention to the Podestas before last month. But if you concede that there is paedophilia in DC, and that is instrumentalised to coerce politicians, then what are the names of the men you think are most likely to be involved in it? Wouldn't you place the Podestas and Brock in that circle?
And if not, is your only reason that no victims have named them? Because as Nordic has pointed out repeatedly, that is typically true of powerful abusers for a long time before accusations come out.
