Ex-Obama White House counsel Greg Craig expects charges in lobbying investigation, lawyers say

The first of many dems to come, hopefully culminating with Obongo.

USA Today-

Former Obama administration White House counsel Greg Craig expects to be charged in a foreign lobbying investigation spun off from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, his lawyers said Wednesday.

“Mr. Craig is not guilty of any charge and the government’s stubborn insistence on prosecuting Mr. Craig is a misguided abuse of prosecutorial discretion,” the attorneys, William Taylor and William Murphy, said in a statement.

The investigation into Craig comes as the Justice Department is cracking down on unregistered foreign lobbying and consulting. Federal prosecutors in New York have been investigating two prominent Washington lobbying firms in a similar probe, and Justice Department officials in Washington have been increasingly willing to prosecute people who they believe intentionally conceal their lobbying work from the federal government.

The scrutiny of Craig stems from an investigation of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his work on behalf of a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine. If filed, the charges would come about three months after Craig’s former law firm agreed to pay more than $4.6 million and publicly acknowledge that it failed to register with the government for its work for the Ukraine.

  1. How big is Trump winning (kicking Libtard ass)? Back in the day I would fire up the computer and the first place I would go to was the “RIGHT SCOOP”. Then they went total Globalist Libtard with the help of some God Damn fake Mexican. Deep breath. That guy needs his ass beat for being fucking STUPID. Well, I’m not privy to the sites goings on, but it seems they’re back on our side. I welcome them back. They do research like no other. Maybe the Furry one can shed some light on this transformation

  2. I’m not being critical, but Fur doesn’t make sense to me. “Fur” seems less definitive to me as far as his position statements go. Hat makes more sense to me. Don’t ax me why. BFH, makes the most sense. I know, it’s complicated.

    I’m so simple, it’s a sin. What happened in the last 6 weeks with The Scoop. And what happened with the Dumb ass Fake Mexican? A Globalist for certain. Maybe Fur, BFH, what ever is not privy. If he is, i’m interested in Knowing. My hope is the original dude got his shit back. What’s groovy is the 42 readers there that hated Trump are now slicing their wrists. I applaud them.

  4. Mueller made it cool to convict for unregistered foreign lobbying. The Dims were so happy to see Manfort railroaded for this.
    Trump: “How do ya like me now?”
