Isn't that what lobbyists do? Why is this "awesome?"Be still my heart! This stuff is awesome. Check it out.
"Democrat super-lobbyist Tony Podesta was paid $170,000 over a six-month period last year to represent Sberbank, Russia’s largest bank, seeking to end one of the Obama administration’s economic sanctions against that country, The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group has learned.
Podesta, founder and chairman of the Podesta Group, is listed as a key lobbyist on behalf of Sberbank, according to Senate lobbying disclosure forms. His firm received more than $24 million in fees in 2016, much of it coming from foreign governments, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics."

Ya...I'm trying to figure that out as well...he's a lobbyist...so...like...so what
If he were an elected official, it would be another story entirely.
Oh but it was ok to investigate Jared Kushner's mother for Russian ties.
The hypocrisy here is unreal.
Not really.
When the person being investigated is the sitting president, and you have extensive intertwined family business' - it should be pretty thorough.
