Mueller Now Investigating Democratic Lobbyist Tony Podesta

[edpc]

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.

Manafort had organized a public relations campaign for a non-profit called the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine (ECMU). Podesta's company was one of many firms that worked on the campaign, which promoted Ukraine's image in the West.

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.

The Podesta Group amended its FARA registration to accurately reflect its work with ECMU only after the payments were reported by the media.

Ever notice how the Clintons and people associated with them are always filing revised documents after they are caught, then claim compliance?

What's weird is that it was following Manafort that led Mueller to the Podestas.

I think "investigate" means something different in this case.  Something along the lines of "investigate to make sure that nothing will come of this investigation."

Or "Make sure we find enough dirt on everybody so everybody shuts up."
