By Jeff Mordock - The Washington Times - Thursday, April 11, 2019

A federal grand jury on Thursday lodged a two-count indictment against Gregory B. Craig, the former White House counsel for President Barack Obama.

He is the first prominent Democrat to be charged with a crime stemming out of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian collusion. The allegations were uncovered as part of the investigation into former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Mr. Craig is charged with making false statements and concealing material information about the legal work he did with Manafort for the Ukrainian government in 2012. If convicted, Mr. Craig could face up to five years in prison for each charge.
He will be arraigned at a Washington, D.C., court at a later date.

The charges were brought by prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in D.C. and the Justice Department’s National Security Division.

The charges “undermine the narrative of President Trump and congressional Republicans that the Mueller probe was a Democratic witch hunt meant to bring down Trump and the G.O.P.,” said Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law.

<sigh>

The Oversight Subcommittee assists the full Committee in carrying out its general oversight responsibilities of matters within the scope of the full Committee’s jurisdiction. The Oversight Subcommittee works with the full Committee and other Subcommittees to determine whether the laws within the jurisdiction of the Committee (including tax, trade, health, Human Resources, and Social Security laws) are being implemented and carried out efficiently and in accordance with Congressional intent. The Oversight Subcommittee also provides oversight of the federal agencies (such as the Internal Revenue Service) responsible for implementing laws within the full Committee’s jurisdiction.

And if he didn't, then he's guilty of fraud with his bank loan applications. He's guilty one way or the other, or both ways. And stuffed in the business world ever after.

Not while he has a supine senate and a trained AG he isn't.

Has anything changed?

As for AG Barr...another "fixer" like Mueller.

Yup... what harry said.

Lobbyist Who Steered Foreign Funds To Trump Inaugural Sentenced To Probation

WASHINGTON, April 12 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Friday sentenced Republican political consultant Samuel Patten to 36 months of probation, 500 hours of community service and a $5,000 fine in a case spun out of U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.



Patten, 47, pleaded guilty in August to communicating with U.S. lawmakers and news media organizations on behalf of a Russia-aligned political party in Ukraine called the Opposition Bloc without disclosing that work to the Justice Department, in violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), among other offenses.



Patten is a former business partner of Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian national indicted by Mueller and accused of having ties to Russian intelligence. In Patten’s guilty plea he also admitted to arranging for a U.S. citizen to act as a straw purchaser to pay $50,000 for four tickets to the inauguration of President Donald Trump on behalf of a Ukrainian oligarch, who reimbursed Patten through a Cypriot account.

I smell collusion.

who reimbursed Patten through a Cypriot account.

Maybe they should ask Wilbur Ross.

Your shit sandwich will be served tomorrow. Don't swallow it too quick, you want to comb every grain of that shit for the bits of gristle Muller has thrown in there in the hope you wont lynch him.

268 pages mostly filled by crazy numpties talking shit.

And all they got in the end was a shit sandwich and a hopelessly addled brain.

Its just too good.

From the report:
"The report also indicates White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders admitted she made up things she said from the White House podium."

No surprises there.

Barr could not have done a worse job of trying to spin it, and that's from a bloke who has previous.

The report basically says that baldy orange cunto meets all the criteria for being charged with Obstruction of Justice.

Baldy orange cunto will be indicted in November 2020.

Not sure if anyone has posted a link to the report yet, in case not:

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/just...age/report.pdf

they should be concentrating on the republicans that still support the lying thieving coward

ask them to explain why they still back the fcukwit

IMO, the best political strategy house dems could employ would be to have an endless stream of investigations and hearings so that the electorate experiences even more 'trump fatigue' than they are already. no need to impeach, just make sure there is no doubt among independents in WI, PA, VA, MI that it's time to turn the page.

oust him from office via the ballot box....then SDNY and the AG of NY can issue indictments and put him in prison.

So, yet again, it was the Joos wot done it.

Well there goes a big right wing conspiracy theory...

Mueller Report: Assange Smeared Seth Rich to Cover for Russians

Julian Assange not only knew that a murdered Democratic National Committee staffer wasn’t his source for thousands of hacked party emails, he was in active contact with his real sources in Russia’s GRU months after Seth Rich’s death. At the same time he was publicly working to shift blame onto the slain staffer “to obscure the source of the materials he was releasing,” Special Counsel Robert Mueller asserts in his final report on Russia’s role in the 2016 presidential election.

Where is boontard...

The Mueller report might not end the debate over what President Donald Trump did, but it has scuttled one conspiracy theory involving a murdered Democratic party staffer and WikiLeaks.

Well into 2017, Fox News host Sean Hannity championed the hunt for details about 27-year-old Seth Rich, who was shot and killed near his home in Washington, D.C., not long before the first WikiLeaks dump of Democratic emails in July 2016. Rich had been working on voter access projects for the Democratic National Committee. The police believed he was the victim of a botched robbery.

Hannity and others thought Rich had been killed because, as the conspiracy theory goes, he was the true source — not Russia — of the DNC files that WikiLeaks shared with the world to damage Hillary Clinton.

At one point, Fox News aired, and then quickly retracted, a report that said the FBI had proof that Rich was WikiLeaks’ source. (We dug into the lawsuit that Fox News drew in the wake of that broadcast. The suit was unsuccessful.)

The special counsel’s report places WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange at the epicenter of those rumors about Rich.

"As reports attributing the DNC and DCCC hacks to the Russian government emerged, WikiLeaks and Assange made several public statements apparently designed to obscure the source of the materials that WikiLeaks was releasing," the Mueller report says.

The report quotes from an Aug. 25, 2016, interview Assange gave to Megyn Kelly on Fox News. A couple of weeks earlier, WikiLeaks had offered a $20,000 reward for information on Rich’s killer. Without flat-out saying that Rich was the WikiLeaks source, Assange did nothing to dispel the notion on Fox News.

"We're very interested in anything that might be a threat to alleged WikiLeak sources," he told Kelly. "We're not saying that Seth Rich's death necessarily is connected to our publication. That's something that has to be established. But if there's any question about a source of WikiLeaks being threatened, then people can be assured that this organization will go after anyone who may have been involved in some kind of attempt to coerce or possibly, in this case, kill a potential source."

Assange’s fuzzy answer is consistent with another interview he gave. Assange had told CNN in July 2016 that WikiLeaks likes "to create maximum ambiguity as to who our sources are."

The special counsel report asserts without a shade of doubt that Russia hacked the Democratic servers and passed that material to WikiLeaks.

Investigators acknowledge that they can’t be totally sure how those files were transferred. The material might have been downloaded or hand-delivered.

But one thing is certain: It wasn’t Seth Rich.
