Snopes says this is a fake story, FWIW.
You forgot the /sarcasm, unless you’re serious. Snopes is fake.
The left is possibly playing damage control? remember in the 90s when a bad story came out, shortly before that a false story would come out to water it down.

WASHINGTON (AP) Special counsel Robert Muellers grand jury is investigating a prominent Democratic lobbyist and a former GOP congressman for their involvement in an influence campaign on behalf of Ukrainian interests tied to Paul Manafort, according to a person with direct knowledge of the investigation. At the center of the widening probe are Tony Podesta, a longtime Democratic operative, and Vin Weber, a former GOP congressman and leader of his own high-powered lobbying firm, Mercury LLC. The two men were hired as part of a multimillion-dollar lobbying effort directed by Manafort and longtime associate Rick Gates.
