Review:
...”[Cynthia] Murphy had several work-related personal meetings with [a prominent New York-based financier, name omitted] and was assigned his account, one FBI record from the case read. The message accurately described the financier as prominent in politics, an active fund-raiser for [a major political party, name omitted] and a personal friend of [a current Cabinet official, name redacted].
Multiple current and former officials confirmed to The Hill that the Cabinet officer was Hillary Clinton, the fundraiser was New York financier Alan Patricof and the political party was the Democratic National Committee...
Nice find-—thanks.
I wish I could share your optimism Larry but I consider the Tony Podesta Event as an attempt by Mueller to actually do something (given the total lack of Trump-Russia evidence) while remaining as far away from Hillary-Obama-Uranium as possible.
Here is my simple explanation of that view that I posted yesterday in the Byron York article. I would lump the Tony Podesta initiative in with Byron York's observation that Mueller is moving his focus away from Trump and to the Russians interference in the 2016 election - his attempt to do something while staying as far away from Hillary as possible. And I would add, while staying well away from his own involvement in the Uranium deal.
Here is my post from yesterday.

Byron York, a pretty darn smart guy, is on to something. Here is my easy explanation for his observation taken from Muellers Perspective:
Trump + Russia = Dead End.
Russia + 2016 = The Obvious Fallback to avoid the nightmare of ...
Russia + Uranium + Hillary + Bill = Game, Set, Match for Trump
Now that Russia has abandoned communism, it should be at the bottom tier of our enemies list. Republicans should be for working with Russia over how to contain an aggressive Islam, rather than gleefully shouting, in effect, “Look—the Democrats did it too.”
That is the problem. The scope of the corruption is nearly unimaginable. All responsible need to hang.
Love your insights, LS - and your optimism. But once burned, twice shy. And we normal Americans have been burned countless times by swampy “probes,” “inquiries,” and “investigations.”
Hoping you’re right!
Laz: nothing wrong with being wrong on a pessimistic prognostication!
Bttt
“.....the Russia investigation all along has been about Cankles....”
I said something like this a long time in a post.
The Trump-Russia thing will go away only when a democrat-led investigation concludes that there was no collusion, and furthermore an investigation into the Clinton corruption must be eased into. What better way to do that than for the Mueller team to find evidence of that while investigating Trump?
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."
This is the Trump Sting signature
Recall the Mr Miller tapes and the 4 pages of tax docs that turned up in a reporters mail box in NY.
Mueller may have opened the book but will he slam it shut and throw the evidence in the fire?
great excerpt
Am I supposed to be excited.
.....the Russia investigation all along has been about Cankles....
Beginning to make sense.

I can see it now
thanx to both of you on digging this one up
Don’t be surprised if Mueller is cleaning up the mess for Obama/Hillary as he was a fed when all this went down.
Mueller could have done this just to buy himself a little bipartisan cover for whatever he has planned for Trump.
Yep—and they are letting it be known about their bogus, cover-up investigation on the Dem side a) so a legitimate special counsel isn’t named for that, and b) to excuse their meddling as they move to destroy any evidence.
From Congressional testimony: The FBI paid Steele for the “dossier” which PREVIOUSLY was used purely as oppo political research on Trump.
That would be Combover.
This cannot be explained as “trying to help Trump see what phony intel is.” It is illegal.
