FULL TITLE: BACKFIRE: Probe Of Manafort Leads To Possible Federal Charges For Lawyer With Ties To Obama And Clinton
Greg Craig is a lawyer who served in the Obama and Clinton administrations. He is now likely to face federal charges for failing to register as a foreign agent. The irony is that this probably would never have come up without the investigation of Paul Manafort.
FOX News reports:
Lawyer with Obama, Clinton ties may face federal charges: report
A lawyer with ties to the Obama and Clinton administrations may face federal charges for failing to register as a foreign agent, according to a report.
Greg Craig, 73, a former White House counsel during the Obama presidency, is under investigation regarding whether he improperly worked as a lobbyist for a group associated with Ukraine, without first registering with the Justice Department, CNN reported, citing unnamed sources.
Craig was a partner in the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, which may face charges as well, according to the report. Craig left the firm in April, the report said.
An attorney for Craig told CNN his client “was not required to register under the Foreign Agent Registration Act.”
Previously, Craig held several posts in the Clinton administration, including helping to coordinate former President Bill Clinton’s impeachment defense, NBC News reported.
The probes of Craig and the Skadden firm are linked to former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, the sources told CNN.
Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit asks: Will Greg Craig flip on Obama?
Tick Tock Barrack!
Greg Craig? Stay out of Fort Marcy Park!
No.
Charges will never be made. Obama friends and Dems do not have to obey the law.
Otherwise Weiner,Huma and Hillary would be prosecuted for the handling of emails and laptops with classified materials and items under subpoena. Doesn’t happen.
Only conservatives have to obey the law or go to prison.
Podesta got immunity. Craig won’t be charged.
As someone who's watched the Clintons and other leftists get away with whatever they want since the early 90s, I think I've earned that.

PUHLEEZE!!! NOTHING is going to happen to any Democrat!!
Democrats are LAWLESS because Republicans are BALLLESS!!!
Various kinds of fish caught in the same net. Now we watch to see which fish are set free and which are headed to the market.
I remember this guy, back in Clinton impeachment days.
What do we have here?
We have CNN, unnamed sources and Deep State firewalls Rosenstein and Sessions, both who may be on the chopping block.
So let's make the DAG and the AG look like they are doing something.
I'll believe Greg Craig is in danger when I see it.
Lawyer with Obama, Clinton ties may face federal charges: report ....................said no prosecutor EVER.
Boy, does that sound like a shyster outfi
Wow...where can i get some of this immunity.
Can i kill someone involved in the case if i have immunity?
I’m not so sure on this now? The Kavanaugh nonsense was enough for even the deep staters. They don’t need the attention drawn on them by such Spartacus moments as those.
BINGO!
Enter PresidentTrump! Pray he can keep ahead of the game.
