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.

If AP ran with it means they’re cornered like a rat in a cage.
Explains why Podesta has been screaming like a stuck piglet.
K Street!
...which would *really* be draining the swamp.
I confess that I’m not up on all of the intricacies of the Clintons, but is Hillary tied in with Tony Podesta? I know that John Podesta was her campaign manager, but how does that connect her to Tony (other than John and he are cousins, I think)?
Democrat influence buying scandal.
They pushed this because they believed Russia would bring down Trump.
Instead, its backfiring on them as high-ranking Democrats are being ensnared by Mueller’s probe.
Won’t take them long to demand Trump fire him. Somewhere, Trump is laughing his ass off at their plight.
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
Tony = campaign manager for herself
Oops, my bad. John is. Old brain.
Still a scumbag?
Is it fair to say if Tony Podesta goes, John Podesta should go, too?
I would think so but John probably has more privilege with BillHillary operatives.
Brothers. Tony and John Podesta are brothers.
Both into spirit cooking and cheese pizza.
Brothers
And partners in their firm I believe.
Vin Weber and Tony Podesta are opposite ends of the same swamp.
Aspen Institute?! Okaaaay....
A Never Trumper and a Democrat under investigation.
Its going off script. Its no longer about Russian collusion.
The fake news media is saddened, deeply saddened.
we’re not supposed to know what the grand jury is doing....so this is an unlawful leak
I just had a thought.... Do you think that’s why session this very low key and quiet letting the dominoes fall in place? Oh my god if it is ...it is the MOAB!
they did rock scissors paper to see who steps down....right into the poo.
Okay, JOHN Podesta was her campaign manager (I knew that), and he and Tony are brothers (not cousins).
Was Tony part of her campaign also (I’ve not heard that)? I just don’t see how this automatically will lead back to Clinton (grrr), but I hope I’m wrong!
