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 Clintons 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?
The Kerry attention is also damning to the deep state. I would say there are going to be some swamp lambs sacrificed in exchange for some free passes on others.
Can i kill someone involved in the case if i have immunity?.....? Ask Seth Rich.
Wishful thinking. Liberals and Clinton people are above the law. They are off agenda for Mueller who is interested only in removing Trump from office.
This was the plan from the start, and it is being executed brilliantly as panic has overtaken President Trump's enemies. More to come...
So all of a sudden the DOJ wants to pretend to apply the law equally? Even if they charge this guy, it’ll all be for show.
No.
Charges will never be made. Obama friends and Dems do not have to obey the law.
Someone wake up Sessions. Time to indict Craig for his federal crimes. Mueller did the work not put Craig into an orange jump suit. Wake up Elf and do something!!!
Nothing will happen to a democrat. Just doesn’t happen.
See it works this way. An attorney from connected dem solicitors said he did nothing wrong. So therefore no case. My question is how did podesta get immunity because they had evidence before giving that scum bag a pass. This whole event is complete deep state BS and they should be in front of firing squads using flame throwers.
Bingo. Never gonna happen.
“Will Greg Craig flip on Obama?”
We’re getting ahead of ourselves here, aren’t we? There is no controlling legal authority that is not corrupt and loyal to the left. Sessions is compromised and complicit. Those are the facts on the ground.
That’s the reason why Trump HAS to appoint a very large special counsel or have military tribunals to bring this massive conspiracy of deep and corrupt-staters to justice.
I think,,,
VanDelay.
Greg Craig is a Clinton fixer who knows where all the been dies are buried
This could get interesting
“Possible” yeah right.
If Obama’s lawyers aren’t charged there is no equality in the law!
Yep. That sure pointed in the direction of Mueller’s purpose is to protect the guilty and give the DNC some talking points for the midterms. Oh, and to dissuade the best and most honest from working for the President.
Jon Podesta was caught up in the Manafort guilty plea as well. And yes, it is ironic that they tried to ensnare Trump but ended up ensnaring their guys instead.
