Where the bodies are buried in the biggest political and financial scandal in California history: The federal investigation of Greedy Gavin Newsom and his main squeeze “first partner” Jennifer Siebel Newsom and their inner circle, and the prosecution of state operatives linked to Newsom and Democrat gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra is about to get a whole lot bigger, as in “off the charts” bigger.

The FBI had a mole inside Greedy Gavin Newsom’s political orbit before the FBI’s corruption probe expanded into Newsom and his wife.

Democrat insider and Newsom ally, Alexis Podesta, 45, secretly recorded conversations during the criminal probe into Newsom’s then-chief of staff, Dana Williamson, 53, who pleaded guilty to federal fraud and tax charges in May, according to Williamson’s attorney.

The revelation that Podesta was wearing a wire as far back as June 2024 explains why a swath of Sacramento political insiders and lobbyists were stunned to receive FBI letters last fall informing them that their phone calls had been intercepted during the investigation — despite many having little or no connection to Williamson.

“Alexis wore a wire, and Dana did not,” said McGregor Scott, Williamson’s lawyer and a former US attorney for the Eastern District of California, which is now investigating the Newsoms.

The federal investigation involving Alexis Podesta is far bigger, deeper and wider than anyone could imagine.

Alexis Podesta has worked inside of the Sacramento Swamp and the DC Swamp for decades.

Every corrupt, catastrophic and disastrous policy in Sacramento during Greedy Gavin Newsom’s tenure as governor has Alexis Podesta’s fingerprints on it.

The archives from former California Governor Jerry Brown’s administration from 2015 reveals Alexis Podesta’s lengthy, paid role in Sacramento and Washington DC.

On Jun 05, 2015, Gov. Jerry Brown made the following appointment:

Alexis Podesta, 34, of Sacramento, has been appointed undersecretary at the California Business, Consumer Services and Housing Agency. Podesta has served as director of external affairs and international affairs and chief of protocol in the Office of Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. since 2011. She was a special assistant to the senior vice president of public affairs and senior advisor to the chairman and chief executive officer at Pacific Gas and Electric Company from 2009 to 2011 and was manager of government relations at the Walt Disney Company from 2007 to 2009. Podesta served as director of scheduling in the Office of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein from 2002 to 2007. This position does not require Senate confirmation and the compensation is $141,024. Podesta is a Democrat.

The database Transparent California reveals that Alexis Podesta has raked in a fortune from California taxpayers. Between 2015 and 2024, Alexis Podesta was paid nearly $1.6 million during her California state bureaucratic appointments (Screenshot 1).

Alexis Podesta’s company, Podesta Company, LLC, is a Sacramento-based strategic government affairs, regulatory consulting, and public policy firm. The list of California governmental agencies that Podesta’s firm has been involved with reads like a who’s who of every disastrous bureaucratic nightmare in California under Gavin Newsom (Screenshot 2).

Screenshot 3 reveals the depth of Podesta’s involvement in the Sacramento Swamp. A delegation of California Democrat bureacrats linked to Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom for a gubernatorial trade mission to Mexico included Alexis Podesta.

Alexis Podesta’s injurious claws in Sacramento have inflicted great damage on California taxpayers and residents. Irrespective of her revealed cooperation with the FBI in the agencies growing investigation, she does know where all the bodies are buried, but she deserves no sympathy.

Podesta’s maiden name is Alexis Wilson. Her husband is Joshua Podesta. Joshua Podesta is registered as a co-manager with Alexis is their firm Podesta Company, LLC (Screenshot 4).
