Newly Released Mueller Document Suggests Dem Power Broker Tony Podesta Misled Federal Investigators
by Colin Kalmbacher | 3:44 pm, September 15th, 2018

The office of special counsel Robert Mueller just released a document which appears to show that longtime Democratic Party power broker Tony Podesta misled federal investigators when questioned about his obligations, and how he understood them, under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

The document is dated March 31, 2017 and was released late Saturday morning in line with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request initiated by the New York Times‘ Kenneth Vogel. Taking the form of a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) National Security Division and addressed to Podesta’s attorney Matthew T. Sanderson, the document reads, in relevant part:

    In conclusion, we have determined that Podesta must register under FARA, because the firm’s activities on behalf of the [European Centre For a Modern Ukraine (ECFMU)] constitute “political activities” as defined under the Act and were conducted at the order, request, or under the direction or control of a foreign principal…in furtherance of, and for the purpose of influencing, U.S. government officials and sections of the public within the United States, with reference to the political or public interests, policies or relations of a foreign government or foreign political party.

If this testimony was under his immunity deal then that deal should be off.

There was no immunity deal.  In fact, Mueller referred the case to SDNY, just like he did with Cohen.  It’s up to that office and the Trump appointed US Attorney as to whether they’ll proscute, now.

Somebody is draining the swamp.  Cheers to the Trump DOJ for appointing Mueller.

That only works if they follow up.  The onus is on the Trump appointed US Attorney Geoffrey Berman, now.
