Comment Bait


Special Counsel Robert Mueller-dropped three shoes today. He indicted Paul Manafort and his sidekick Rick Gates for a bunch of white-collar crimes when they were working for the Podesta Group many years before they hooked up with Trump to lead his campaign for two months through the Republican convention in the summer of 2016. Their work for the Podesta Group involved doing PR for the Ukraine government ... rather than colluding with Russia. And the name Donald Trump does not appear in the Mueller indictments. Also Mueller revealed that an unpaid Trump campaign worked named George Papadopolous had been arrested this past July for lying to authorities about an attempted Russian contact.

The Podesta Group is a powerful DC lobbying firm and is run by the brothers John and Tony Podesta.  John Podesta had been Hillary Clinton's campaign manager in her failed attempt at the presidency.  Interestingly, Tony Podesta resigned today from the Podsta group after it had been revealed that he too is a target of Mueller's investigation.

And in another related development a former FBI informant is now been freed to testify to Congress (if he lives) about some actual campaign collusion with Russia ... but the other party here is not Donald Trump, but the DNC ... which paid some $12 million through an intermediary for the fake Russian pee pee dossier on Trump ... which was then likely used by the Obama administration to justify surveiling the Trump campaign. So the fox has now morphed into the rabbit. I and a lot of others wonder if Mueller will investigate this actual Russian campaign collusion ... by the Democrats?

Given his politics and that of his posse, this seems unlikely.
