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.

I am 100% sure that Sessions is being very, very quiet so the targets are not aware of what will be pouncing on them.
The good news: still no sign of Trump involvement, or real mention of his name in the article.
The bad news: all the Freepers insisting this means Hillary is going down, when there’s no sign of that either.
Summary: Mueller’s investigation still looks to be a total waste.
I am liking the direction that Mueller is going. If Manafort, Weber, Pedesta and the other 2 or 3 clowns go down, so be it.
Last Friday when they mentioned about Manafort and the other 2 was a leak as well. It appears that nothing in Washington stays a secret for long.
Wouldn’t it be great if in the end we found out Mueller was actually on the side of doing the right thing by draining the swamp the best he could with the tools he had?
Pretty sure President Trump would be left unscathed but I’m not so sure his son in law Kushner would be. His leftist bent may be his downfall. Sadly it would probably get Ivanka dirty too which I would not like simply because she is Trump’s daughter and Trump asked her to help. Kushner too probably but not the way he/they did.
Pretty soon it might be Chucky and Nancy demanding that Mueller be fired.
Is Bob Mueller doing the same thing in his present investigation?
Tony Podesta was almost certainly involved in Hillary’s campaign. He has dirt on the whole DNC.
Mmmm. We went out for Lamppost pizza tonight. Pepperoni, sausage, bell pepper, and cooked tomatoes.

According to donor records, not much. He did help gather up donations for her campaign, but the total sum of that was only ~$1 million, which may sound like a lot but was far far far down the list when compared to others.
He has dirt on the whole DNC
Some I'm sure but maybe not much. This is Tony Podesta, not John, and John left their firm in 1993 according to records. Even John Podesta's leaked e-mails didn't show much interaction between the two except for discussions about food, which brought lots of attention but ultimately seemed to go nowhere.
were not supposed to know what the grand jury is doing....so this is an unlawful leak

freeper, LS posted that any leaks thru here would likely be coming from the targets, not the investigators
