Court House News
A federal judge refused Tuesday to block the trial of Greg Craig, former White House counsel to President Barack Obama, on charges that he misled the government about his work on a secret Ukrainian government campaign linked to Paul Manafort.
Though the ruling by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson dismisses one of the two counts brought against Craig in April, it sustains the allegation that Craig willfully lied to the Justice Department to avoid registering as a foreign agent…
…The government’s allegations, arising from the special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, involve Craig’s private-sector work in 2012 with the law firm Skadden Arps.
Federal prosecutors accuse Craig of lying about his role in developing a report in collaboration with Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman, to calm public backlash against the Ukrainian government over the arrest of Orange Revolution leader Yulia Tymoshenko in 2012. More
The presiding judge decides to assuage the public’s outrage before he issues his acquittal.
“See? See? This isn’t a partisan witch hunt!”
Yeah. Uh—huh.
Means nothing until some of these traitors are gutted like catfish.
I hope that slap on the wrist stings, for a couple of hours at least.
He’s taking one for the team so that they can say “see, one of ours has been convicted, now leave all the rest of it alone”.
In a sane world, he’d be waterboarded until he gave up the goods on Obama.
Wait till you see what Barr’s dragnet turns up.
