Tucker BOMBSHELL: Podesta Group Is In Mueller’s ‘Crosshairs’ Over Russian Influence
Daily Caller ^ | 10-24-17 | Justin Caruso

Posted on 10/24/2017 6:06:03 PM PDT by bigbob

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.

The Crooked Greedy Clinton’s will go down with this news.


That seems to be the plan. Looks to me like the kenyan is trying to get rid of them once and for all. Let’s see what they do in return.

This is a watershed moment in the “Russia Collusion” investigation...kinda like the day it was discovered that five men wearing surgical gloves had been caught burglarizing DNC offices.
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.’”

Exactly as you predicted LS: leaks coming out from targets

I gotta wonder if Mueller has seen the light and decided that the only way to save what little reputation he has left is to go after the Clinton-Podesta corruption ring.

I think you're right on target in your post !

Mueller is coming up clutching empty air on the Trump/Russia "collusion'...so to justify all the time and all the taxpayers' money being lavished out to his group of hired-gun, trough-feeding Dem lawyers, he knows he has to find some skunks in the woodpile somewhere....and he won't care a whit if they're Republicans, Democrats or Billary.

He'll be looking to save face very shortly...he's doing it now, in fact. He has no scruples.

After the Tucker Carlson and Hannity shows tonight, Mueller is going down the drain with the rest of DC. He’s in to the Swamp up to his waist with the rest of the gang of liars, ya think?

And earlier:

Remember when Comey was fired,,,,with him in LA and timed perfectly for him to watch it in real time on CNN during his lunch break

Meanwhile Trump gets access to the Comey office, files, desk, computer e-mails etc

Now Comey and Mueller were best buddies

So expect Trump to have the goods on them both

and leaverage to direct the Mueller "investigation."

Noting...

will...

come...

of...

it.

Mueller and fellow democrats will not investigate fellow democrats.

This revelation about the investigation taking a tangent towards democrats, is just to give the perception of fairness.

The final results will have Mueller bringing charges on one or more republicans, even if the charges are insignificant, AND, will mention how “others” were involved, but did not warrant charges being filed.

Very interesting..and yes I remember that too..and thinking “WOW what perfect timing for Trump to lay the smack down on Comey” all depends on what he found on those computers and if they were not already given the Clinton bleach bit wipey
