Hillary Clinton super-bundler Heather Podesta has raised $348,581 for her candidate this cycle but apparently wishes she could do more — if only that meany President Obama hadn’t pulled her head out of the trough.
“I think Obama hurt himself by taking such an arms-length posture with the Washington community,” Podesta, a multimillionaire who has represented chemical companies, health insurers, and for profit-colleges, told Vox’s Ezra Klein. “By attacking Washington in that way, there was a bit of a brain drain. And a lost opportunity.”
(Italics mine)
Yes, poor Heather was so cash strapped that she had to sell her services to some pretty dubious folks.
Per Vox:
As we’ve previously reported, Heather Podesta represented the health insurance giant Cigna as the company sought to weaken and derail the Affordable Care Act. This week, she registered to lobby on behalf of chemical firm LSB Chemical on nitrogen-based fertilizers, which have been under scrutiny since a chemical explosion in West, Texas, killed 15 people and injured nearly 150.
