Obama WH counsel faces possible prosecution in Mueller-initiated probe

Former Obama White House Counsel and Clinton-linked attorney Greg Craig may soon be charged by the Justice Department for engaging in illegal unregistered overseas lobbying, in a case initially probed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller -- a development that would make him the first Democrat to face prosecution amid the long-running Russia investigation.

The case centers on lobbying work that Craig performed in 2012 for the Russian-backed president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, while Craig was a partner at the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. Craig allegedly never registered as a foreign agent under a U.S. law known as the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, which requires lobbyists to declare publicly if they represent foreign leaders, governments or their political parties.

FARA violations were only rarely prosecuted until Mueller took aim at Paul Manafort, President Trump's former campaign chairman, for his lobbying work in Ukraine. Manafort, who connected Craig with Yanukovych, has been convicted on numerous bank and tax fraud charges, and was separately accused of FARA violations as well. He was sentenced earlier this month to approximately seven years in prison.

You are pleased he was picked up for illegal and unregistered lobbying by the Mueller investigation. I bet you are particularly pleased that it shows Mueller is doing his job fairly and honestly. But we all knew Mueller was being fair and honest.

and all this will hit the fan, Republicans in the house are just gathering their eggs

We're going to hear from Clinton, Obama, Loretta Lynch, and a whole host of others who thought they would just fade away

Ah, no, that is not the message the Trumpkins will take, rather, Mueller did his job when investigating Obama, but was perpetuating a hoax when investigating Trump

Didn't hear much from the MSM about this:

Flynn seems to have gotten away with it.

The humor never gets old, twenty years from now we will still be hearing individuals as this one ^ above still pushing their radio conspiracies. Amazing how their hate even years after the fact still allows those personalities to define them

Well, you believe that deep down in your Trumpian black heart, so it must be true. Glad that muellers investigation just gets criminals, all kinds. It is pleasing to all and proof of his even-handedness. Now rightys will be behind Mueller.

Mueller: making us safe from failures to FARA

They’re going to need to make some more prison space if they’re going to start jailing people for FARA violations lol.

Strong work, Mullet.

Let the chips fall where they may. Mueller is doing his job.

Let the chips fall where they may. Mueller is doing his job.

There's a difference between LETTING the chips fall and CAUSING the chips to fall. Lots of pols in D.C. Who have openly violated FARA still freely walking around.
Selective prosecution.
