Tony Podesta, Vin Weber were being investigated for not registering as foreign agents for Ukraine

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have closed an investigation into two prominent Washington lobbying firms, including one affiliated with Democratic powerhouse Tony Podesta, according to people familiar with the matter. The outcome marks a quiet end to the sprawling inquiry that led to the conviction of former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and his longtime deputy.

Behind the paywall for the rest of the WSJ article but am looking for reporting elsewhere on free site and will post once located.

The double standard is infuriating.

No problem, Barr is very angry. He is probably blowing the bag right now.

More proof that some animals are more equal than others, yet again.

We are now officially 3rd world.

Yes it is but that’s just part of what’s broken in America these days because of Leftist influences, corruption and outright power grabs.

No one should be surprised here. There will be no indictments.

I have already reconciled myself to that a while back.

What Muller had Flynn by the nuts and was twisting them was that his son had not registered. But this is now and that was then. I was a big enough fool to actually think that Hillary would at least be tried. I no long have those illusions. Now I just hope she drops dead each day.

The DC SWAMP IS ALIVE and WELL and the US Constitution is sick, ailing and close to death as is our EQUAL JUSTICE legal system and our freedoms and liberty.

*** The Uniparty protects their own. ***

Bears repeating. While the serfs squabble between GOP vs Dem, TPTB must laugh at the serfs buying the narrative.

It is an exclusive club, and we ain’t in it.

As an if/then, you’re absolutely right. That said, based on precedent, Manafort shouldn’t have been charged either.

My wife received a letter from the Common Cause Education Fund (commies of course). The envelope was marked “Message from Special Counsel Mueller”. My wife was a teacher. They want to send her 2 copies of Volumes 1 and 2 Executive summaries to read and pass on to commie teachers.
“It’s up to people like you and me to cut through the media spin and start of chain for everyone to understand the threat facing our country”. Signed by Karen Hobart Flynn

I should have them send copies, since they will then waste postage.
Maybe I’ll ask them to send copies to my Republican farmer and business friends.
