Now Democrats have a Russia problem (Mueller, himself, opened the books on this one)

NBC reports that S/P Mueller has launched a criminal investigation into Tony Podesta (brother of Hillary’s campaign chair), and his lobbying firm (co-founded w/ brother John).

......the FBI gathered evidence for two years as Russian agents — including a major sleeper cell — worked to gain access to then-Secy of State Clinton, husband Bill, and members of their inner circle.

All of which underscores that Russia has long been trying to worm its way into US politics.....an effort far beyond any schemes to help elect Donald Trump.

The Podesta probe concerns his apparent failure to fully disclose spending (a felony) while lobbying for a pro-Russian Ukrainian group.....(NOTE lefty Democrats sicced Mueller on Trump man Paul Manafort in which Manafort and his wife were subjected to an armed midnight invasion of their home).

The Podesta firm updated its foreign-agent-registration forms retroactively, only after news reports disclosed payments from the "European Center for a Modern Ukraine."

The Hill is reporting new details of a years-long FBI investigation that tracked Moscow’s covert influence-buying activities — including planting a spy posing as an accountant in the offices of a top Clinton donor.

Team Hillary has long denied that she was a target of the spy ring, but an FBI source told The Hill: “There is not one shred of doubt from the evidence that we had that the Russians had set their sights on Clinton’s inner circle.”

Significantly, this follows reports the then-president Obama admin knew Russia was engaged in bribery and extortion — yet allowed a deal to go through giving Moscow control of one-fifth of America’s uranium.....(Obama's dark wish to reduce America's supremacy in the world).

Nice you found me.....LOL.

House just opened investigation of FBI director in 2016. That would be Comey. If convicted of a crime.....thanks to Sessions’ “asset forfeiture” changes.....he would lose all his book royalties because they were used in the commission of a crime.

Golly, I just love stories w/ happy endings.

We ought to replace all of Congress with a lottery of the first 535 people selected from random towns & cities across America.

Btw, congratulations on calling Mueller ahead of everyone else.

[LS]

Thanks.

Last night, on Dobbs, Sarah Carter confirmed:

“Sessions has been DEEPLY INVOLVED” in the investigations. Boom.

Oh, and you know what name has been noticeably missing?

Christopher Wray.

That tells me the FBI task force is on this too. Big excrement hitting the fan.

[DoodleBob]

But, but, but....Sessions is moving TOO SLOW!! /s

It's like the old George Carlin bit...a contestant on Let's Make a Deal complains that they already have a small car, when they win a Ferrari.
