Let’s see how the DempnRATS via the FBI, cover up for Podesta, again. Podesta, DNC, Hillary, Soros.

I’d also like to know if there is an investigation into Podesta re the Jeffrey Epstein reported “children’s flights” to his Retreat in Florida and a reported one in Spain.

Too many DemonRATS might be ducking for cover or committing suicide if even half the reports of their connections to Podesta are true. They’ll be nailed if there is an honest investigation, but with Mueller and his team of political hacks, I think the operative term is “cover up”.

Remember how Menendez and Charlie Rangel got away with their shenanigans? They’re DemonRATS, you know.

Shocked the N.Y.Slimes is reporting this!


A decision about whether to prosecute Mr. Craig, who was White House counsel for President Barack Obama during his first year in office, is expected in the coming weeks, people familiar with the case said. The investigation centers on whether Mr. Craig should have disclosed work he did in 2012 — while he was a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom — on behalf of the Russia-aligned government of Viktor F. Yanukovych, then the president of Ukraine.

The work was steered to Mr. Craig by Paul Manafort, who was then a political consultant collecting millions of dollars from clients in former Soviet states.

The issue started getting renewed scrutiny from the Justice Department in 2017 as Mr. Mueller’s team traced the flow of overseas cash to fund Mr. Manafort’s lobbying efforts. The special counsel had subpoenaed or requested documents from Skadden Arps and two lobbying firms recruited by Mr. Manafort’s team to help build support for Mr. Yanukovych’s government, and Mr. Mueller’s investigators had interviewed people who worked with all three firms, including Mr. Craig. But last year, Mr. Mueller’s team referred the matters related to the three firms to federal prosecutors in Manhattan for potential prosecution as FARA violations.

According to people familiar with the case, Manhattan prosecutors have retained control of the investigations of the two lobbying firms. They are Mercury Public Affairs, whose lead partner on the account was Vin Weber, a former Republican member of Congress, and the Podesta Group, led by Tony Podesta, a prominent Democratic fund-raiser whose business collapsed in 2017 under the glare of Mr. Mueller’s scrutiny.
