Mueller Adds Podesta Group To Russia Probe
the Daily Caller ^ | Oct 23, 2017 | Jack Crowe

Tony Podesta and his Democratic lobbying firm, the Podesta Group, are now being investigated as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into possible connections between the Trump campaign and Russia, three sources with knowledge told NBC News.

Mueller’s investigators began looking into the Podesta Group after they discovered that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort worked with the firm on a pro-Ukrainian lobbying effort. What began as a cursory examination of the firm, designed to gauge Manafort’s level of involvement in the lobbying campaign, has become a criminal investigation into possible violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) by the Podesta Group, sources told NBC News.

I doubt it. It’s another misdirection. Mueller is a deep state snake, but by “investigating” Podesta, he can claim that nothing was found and Podesta is clean as a whistle. Just another deep state technique to cover them.

Doubt it. More likely, Govt SOP: ‘investigate’, vacuum up, white-wash\shread\delete\destroy, find ‘nothing’

The Podesta Group acted as lobbyists for Uranium One.

Perhaps they could add the Mafia as well, maybe ACORN and the Muslim Brotherhood to investigate too.

AGREED- Active investigation, therefore cannot comment on it.

The Worm, Mueller, should never have been appointed as Special Counsel by his co-conspirator, Rosenstein. Sessions is the culprit in this mess, having given the keys to the cellar away to the rats.

I doubt it. Mueller may be uncovering then eradicating, quashing all evidence against Hillary AND Podesta.

He’s only leaking it because some reporter shows Mueller has financial ties to Russia and should resign.

There is a lot to see with the Podesta Group but I doubt that Mueller will do much digging. As stated probably just a feint.
