[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]

Where are Hillary and Barack on these revelations?[/quote]

Apparently not running off at the mouth about anonymous allegations about an ongoing investigation.  They aren't even public officials anymore, so why would they need to comment on this?  There aren't any "revelations" yet, other than that Mueller et al. are apparently following the money, and it led them to this law firm, which they are now investigating.  We don't yet know whether and to what extent the Podesta Group violated FARA; presumably, if Mueller comes to the conclusion that it did, there will be an indictment.  Just as with the other people and entities being investigated.  If they are guilty, they should be punished, regardless of political affiliation.  Foreign interference in our elections is a big deal, and anyone involved should be punished.  If this is a partisan issue to you, then you are a messed-up person.  [/quote]
