Podesta spent most of his early years in Chicago, where he was born, growing up in the neighborhood of Jefferson Park on the city's Northwest Side. His mother, Mary (née Kokoris), was Greek-American, and his father, John David Podesta, Sr., was Italian-American.Tony Podesta, a lobbyist, is his brother. Podesta's father did not graduate from high school, but encouraged Podesta to attend college.
In 1967, Podesta graduated from Lane Tech High School in Chicago. In 1971, he graduated from Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, where he had served as a volunteer for the presidential candidacy of Eugene McCarthy. He received his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center in 1976. Podesta worked as a trial attorney for the Department of Justice's Honors Program in the Land and Natural Resources Division (1976–77), and as a Special Assistant to the Director of ACTION, the Federal volunteer agency (1978–1979). His political career began in 1972, when he worked for George McGovern's presidential campaign, which lost in 49 states.

There are very few that came up -- and I would put Rich as probably the number one example, in which the process broke down. I don't think the president got good and full advice on it."
"The president is committed to saving Social Security, maintaining our hard won fiscal responsibility, reforming and strengthening our public schools so they work better for our children, passing a patient's bill or rights, strengthening America's leadership in the global economy and securing the peace in troubled areas around the world,"
"Our administration has already moved to liberalize export controls on encryption, allowing more companies to export the technology to more end users. And we've done so while maintaining a framework necessary to protect our national security, ... Today we are announcing significant new updates."
"There should be greater judicial oversight of trap and trace authorities, ... Federal law should make clear that such orders should only be issued after a judicial officer has determined that the proper factual showing has been made."
"Small attacks -- those under $5,000 damage -- should be treated as a misdemeanor and not a felony. But multiple attacks should be treated as one large attack and punished accordingly,"
