Former President Barack Obama’s former White House counsel Greg Craig expects to be indicted on federal corruption charges over a scandal with Ukraine, his lawyers said Wednesday.
The Wall Street Journal‘s Byron Tau and Aruna Viswantha reported late Wednesday:
Former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig expects to be indicted in the coming days on charges stemming from work he performed for Ukraine in 2012, Mr. Craig’s legal team said. Mr. Craig has refused to accept a plea deal, and the matter could be presented to a grand jury for indictment as soon as Thursday, people familiar with the matter say. A spokesman for the Justice Department declined to comment.
The New York Times‘ Kenneth Vogel, in his own report on the looming likely indictment of the former senior Obama official, writes that this “stemmed from” Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
While Mueller has concluded his investigation and determined that President Donald Trump and his campaign did not collude with the Russians, while also not finding sufficient evidence to charge Trump on obstruction of justice, other matters that came up in Mueller’s probe have been handed off to different U.S. attorneys and federal law enforcement agencies for their handling.
Vogel writes:
An Ivy League-educated lawyer who held prominent positions in the Clinton and Obama administrations, Mr. Craig would become the first person who made his name in Democratic Party politics to be charged in a case linked to the special counsel’s investigation.

Former Obama White House Counsel To Be Indicted: Report

CNN and MSNBC have just announced that further coverage of the Mueller probe would be irresponsible over-coverage of an old story.
Orange Man bad and that’s all you need to know.
Right now Obama is going through his law books to see if he can backdate a presidential pardon.
He’ll either sing like an “800 pound canary”, act like a “clam” and Clam Up because he doesn’t want to join the Vince Foster Club, or strike a deal for lesser time. Given that the indictments might come out of NYSD, I’d say the last and get 45 days like Martha Steward.
I wonder if the Obungler will throw the chump under the bus?
He’s a Democrat and his name rhymes....
Guilty!
Look for more.
The shadenfreude begins.
I doubt Obama ever had law books. If he did, he probably didn’t read them. He shucked and jived his way through law school. Laziest man alive.
Elian Gonzalez’ Revenge.
(Craig played a key role in that operation)
