Breaking from NBC: Tony Podesta/Podesta Group under investigation by Mueller! (pizzagate)
submitted 7.5 years ago by Psalm100
WASHINGTON — Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group are now the subjects of a federal investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, three sources with knowledge of the matter told NBC News. The probe of Podesta and his Democratic-leaning lobbying firm grew out of Mueller's inquiry into the finances of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to the sources. As special counsel, Mueller has been tasked with investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. ... The sources said the investigation into Podesta and his company began as more of a fact-finding mission about the ECMU and Manafort's role in the campaign, but has now morphed into a criminal inquiry into whether the firm violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act, known as FARA.

They should have written "investigation." Zero hope here. Mueller is dirty beyond belief.

Agreed. It doesn't mean that Mueller will do the work it will take. But it does mean the Podestas are at least coming under a public cloud. it's a good time to talk about Tony's art collection on social media, as well as John's handkerchief emails.
