Politico announced Saturday that recently suspended Romney-trashing White House correspondent Joe Williams is leaving the organization.
The following statement was released moments ago:
“After some cordial discussions, Joe Williams and I mutually decided that the best step for him is to begin a transition to the next phase of his career,” POLITICO editor-in-chief John Harris wrote in a memo to staff, sent early Saturday morning. “Joe is an experienced and respected journalist, with keen insights into politics. After nearly 30 years in the business, he has the authority and is ready to give voice to his insights and conclusions in a new setting.”
“He’ll be on leave of absence during this transition, and he’s got my gratitude for the contributions he made here, both as reporter and editor. I have told Joe—and it’s a sentiment others who worked closely with him here share—that he’ll have my support as he prepares for what I expect will be a good and prominent next chapter in his career,” Harris wrote.

Williams was a voice of reason Politico needed reason now they have none. people in my neck of the woods sees this group(as i will be nice) a causation of discord amoung people. I have mentioned that if you l;ook within poilitico you will see the education from Sual Alinsky as most in this organization use the hegelian dialectic in perfect Saul Alinsky form.
mr Williams only problem was that he jopined an organization not suited to truthful interchange..
Mr Williams you can be my wingman any day.
THE POLITICO is notnng but a mouth peice for the Democrats. They at the Politico swap sides efery hour or s the winds blows so goes the Poliotico. They stretch the truth as bd as OBUMER the magnificent does.
