Fox News’ Tucker Carlson reported Tuesday night explosive details about the scope of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian influence in the United States, which may be putting the Podesta Group in Mueller’s “crosshairs.”
Carlson said in his opening segment that, according to a source Mueller is looking into the Podesta Group, a lobbying firm with close ties to Hillary Clinton, over spreading Russian influence in the United States during Barack Obama’s presidency.
Carlson said, “The central effort to extend Russian influence was focused on the executive branch, the Obama administration. The vehicle through which [Paul] Manafort worked for the Russians was a shell group called the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine. The group was supposedly based in Belgium but had no offices there. It had only two employees, both based in Ukraine.
“Their telephone number in Brussels rang in Kiev. It was a sham, yet it had a presence in Washington. The European Centre for a Modern Ukraine was a major client of the Podesta Group. Why did the Russians choose the Podesta Group? Because both Podestas were close to the Clintons, and Hillary was then Secretary of State. She could get things done for the Podestas’ Russian clients. It was influence peddling, the most obvious kind,” he continued.
The Podesta Group has close ties with Hillary Clinton.

Everyone missed it, except for Tucker Carlson and his source, who has been extensively interviewed by the Muller team, and who claims that the focus of the investigation has shifted away from Trump:
"The investigation has broadened to determine which people and organizations in Washington have spent years working secretly as de facto operatives on behalf of the Russia government. The Podesta Group is chief among these de facto foreign operatives. ‘They’re are more focused on facilitators of Russian influence in this country, not election collusion,’ our source said. The Podesta Group is ‘in their crosshairs.'”
Here is the thread on this from the Tucker Show Live discussion

This is BIG, BIGGLEY, Wonderful News...
Wonder how all those Clinton associates who Mueller hired are doing?
Manafort was working for freakin PODESTA..GEEZ LOUISE!!
RIght, I was part of that and found this article on the Daily Caller, which he founded, figuring it would be useful for those who didn’t catch the TV show.
The story finally breaks on National Bologna Day.
Someone somewhere has a real sense of humor.
Thanks.... I have been waiting for this moment for a long time...
The Crooked Greedy Clinton’s will go down with this news.
Can’t wait for Trumps Tweets on this.
I’ll believe it when I see Bill and Hillary and other Demonicrats doing the perp walk.
Yahbut, they’re made a career out of telling us that there’s no greater threat than Russia and no better man to get to the bottom of it than Robert Mueller...so now it’ll be hard for them to pull an Emily Litella and say “Never mind!”
“Wonder how all those Clinton associates who Mueller hired are doing?”
Yes, one of several reasons l am not getting excited about this. Mueller is a Rat let’s not forget that.
Wake me up when the indictments come.
The stuff hits the fan. This is the real reason for the panic of Comey, McCain, and others, they are up to their ears in Russia, NSA spying, Uranium One, dossier etc.
It has also been reported the Mueller is "invested" in George Soros' hedge fund. The fund has a $10 Million minimum investment.
Robert Mueller Invested In Hedge Funds Linked to Russia and George Soros
Where does a former government employee come up with that kind of scratch?
The truth is that Mueller is on the Soros/Globalist payroll.
Well, well, well. The "conspiracy theorists" were correct.
I don’t want them to just drain the swamp.
It needs to be burnt to the ground.
I can’t believe it’s really happening.
Praying it’s not Lucy and the football again.
This is bigger than the blue dress.........
