Lobbyist Tony Podesta Facing Criminal Inquiry in Robert Mueller’s Investigation
Breitbart ^ | 10/23/17 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 10/23/2017 8:14:02 AM PDT by Enlightened1

A new report from NBC News reveals that mega-lobbyist Tony Podesta is now facing a criminal inquiry as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Sources say that Mueller’s investigation “has now morphed into a criminal inquiry” about whether the Podesta Group violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act, according to the report.

The Podesta Group filed a FARA registration retroactively after reports revealed that they received payments from a think tank funded by a foreign government.

Tony Podesta is the brother of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s former presidential campaign chairman. The two brothers have spent decades successfully leveraged each other’s ties to create more power, wealth and influence for themselves and their causes.

A spokesperson from the lobbying behemoth tells NBC that the Podesta Group is cooperating with the investigation.

The goal most likely is to investigate and destroy evidence.

The alphabet soup will never work against the Clintons.

I would bet the FBI didn’t raid his house in the middle of the night like they did to Manafort?

Cloward-Piven. When we finally get 137 simul-investigations going on, all, with the possible exception of Carlos Danger and one of the Awans will all dissipate into nothing.

“Mueller’s mission was to get something – anything! – on Paul Manafort. The strategic goal was to trade cooperation in nailing Trump for something — anything! – for leniency on the charge they prove against Manafort.”

“The “anything” that Mueller came up with was registration under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). I remember seeing a nonprofit caught up in violations and let off with no jail for taking funding from non-government agencies that the feds claimed were acting as cats’ paws for a foreign government. But it can be a felony and carry 5 years in the federal pen. The only problem was that the vehicle they found to pursue Manafort unfortunately also implicated Podesta.”

Awans will fade away. Too many Dem criminals / traitors in Congress would be tainted by a spy scandal.

My bet is attention will remain on Carlos and Harvey W.

Yep, Mueller is just a cleaner here.
Does anyone actually think he’s interested in justice?
We don’t get justice when a GOPer is running the show.

I saw another one yesterday, wish I saved it/could find it. It has Sherlock Mueller with a bloodhound and Hildabeast.
He’s investigating Russian collusion but the dog, like Oprah on an all-you-can-eat buffet, is sniffing a scowling Hillary while he scolds the dog.

Exactly. There is no way that Muller’s true purpose is to hurt the Podesta’s. This is the way to prevent someone from doing a real investigation with real consequences.

It is unbelievable that this whole Muller thing is completely ending the pursuit of criminal activities via normal legal channels such as the FBI and the justice Department. Most of these things should also be happening in a court of law. The public should have some access to the proceedings as well. Muller can find a way to get control of everything so he can control it and cover up what needs to be covered up.

If they can’t make it go away Podesta has an untimely death. How unfortunate.

You’re probably right. It’s possible the Awans will get done for bank fraud but any sort of espionage or mishandling classified info, forget it. You have to admit, the Harvey thing is so utterly perfect in its timing, salaciousness and distracting qualities.

Mueller investigating a hardcore Clintonite establishment puke? Yeah, right. It’s a no-brainer, this BS is just another PR scam by the criminal DC establishment, nothing more. To the DC establishment criminals, the Podesta boys ware Halos.
