[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess this comes under the category of “be careful what you wish for.”

[quote]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.[/quote]

This whole thing is going to end up just like the whitewater farce.  Two years from now someone will be indicted for something only tangentially related to the original investigation.[/quote]

No one should have their personal prosecutor, and the fact that we do this in our government should scare everyone of both parties.[/quote]

First of all, did you say the same thing in 1998?

Second, Mueller was hired to investigate Russian interference in the election. If the Podesta Group has ties to Ukraine and is involved in some way, then it should be investigated. If Trump has been laundering Russian money and is beholden to Russian in some way, that should be investigated. If a former general has ties to Russia and Turkey and lied about those ties, that should be investigated.

If there is subsequent cover-up of said facts, then those are crimes central to the investigation.[/quote]
