#FLIP: PAUL MANAFORT AGREES TO COOPERATE WITH MUELLER
#FLOP: But the Cooperation Will Not Concern the Trump Campaign
#TWIST: Feds Weighing Charges Against Clinton Lawyer and Former WH Counsel Greg Craig
Aww. So close.
Per NPR:Paul Manafort's cooperation agreement with the special counsel does not include matters involving the Trump campaign, according to a person familiar with the case, @johnson_carrie reports
— NPR Politics (@nprpolitics) September 14, 2018
Do not assume this is about Trump. This could involve any number of parties from Podesta to Skadden... https://t.co/5ZbiRcmYul

The existence of this particular probe was first reported by CNN, which characterized the investigation as looking into whether lobbyists and operatives failed to register their work as foreign agents. None of the people identified as being under investigation have been charged with a crime. In October, NBC News was the first to report that Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group were being investigated by Mueller’s office. Tony Podesta is the chairman of the Podesta Group and the brother of John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's former presidential campaign chairman. John Podesta is not currently affiliated with the Podesta Group and is not part of the investigation. The probe of Tony 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.And in the last hour, CNN reported that feds are weighing charges against Greg Craig. If that name sounds familiar, he was one of Clinton's lead lawyers during the impeachment hearings.
... Separately, Craig, the former Obama White House counsel, is under investigation as well, the sources said.
Craig left his job at the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, after he and the firm became caught up in Mueller's investigation.
Federal prosecutors in New York are weighing criminal charges against former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig as part of an investigation into whether he failed to register as a foreign agent in a probe that is linked to former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to sources familiar with the matter.

I wouldn't assume. If Manafort had the goods on Craig, Podesta, Skadden, etc., and could prove they were doing everything he's been charged with, how can Mueller pass on that, even if he really really wants to?
Imagine the reaction if he said, from jail, "I offered all these documents of people doing what Mueller said I should go to prison for 300 years for doing, and Mueller said 'Not interested, brah.'"

Going back further he was Ted Kennedy's main lawyer in the Senate (don't recall if personal office or committee staff perch). While McCain was pretty clearly psycho, a bit scary, and not bright, and you got all of that immediately, Craig was a snake, and you got that immediately upon meeting him.

He's not. Mueller turned over the investigation on Podesta and Craig a while ago because what he found was outside his mandate. They are being investigated by the SDNY, same federal prosecutors that are prosecuting Cohen.
Posted by: JackStraw at September 14, 2018 07:38 PM (/tuJf)
But the question still sort of stands. As Ignoramus just pointed out, Rosie is ultimately responsible for this Roving Utility Prosecutor nonsense - which is an outrage, no matter who is snared. And I would like to hear Sessions or anyone explain why, when Rosie authorized *anything* outside the narrow (itself illegitimate, non-compliant with relevant regs, and baseless besides) scope of Russia-Trump/2016 campaign, that Sessions couldn't step in and reassert his authority. He didn't recuse himself from FARA violations and tax violations from a decade ago.
And everyone can spare the stale Sessionzzzz/inside traitor/senile/blah blah blah "explanations", which are not explanations. But it would be interesting to hear a real attempt/speculation at explaining this. I can imagine DiGenova, not quite experiencing a coronary event, jumping up and down and passionately "explaining", and I wonder what his detailed guess would be.

The Special Counsel rules are supposed to prevent Scope Creep by putting on several specific limits. In his appointment order, Rosenstein added stray language that gave Mueller a basis for claiming broader authority.
Mueller even exceeded this, and Rosenstein issued a second order in secret to cover for what Mueller had already done.

This is our moment of reckoning as a society and as a civilization.
I didn't need to do this. I built a great company, and I had a wonderful life. I could have enjoyed the benefits of years of successful business for myself and my family, instead of going through this absolute horror show of lies, deceptions and malicious attacks. I'm doing it because this country has given me so much, and I feel strongly it was my turn to give back.
Some people warned me this campaign would be a journey to hell. But they are wrong, it will be a journey to heaven because we will help so many people.
In my former life, I was an insider as much as anybody else - and I know what's like to be an insider. Now I am being punished for leaving their special club and revealing to you their great scam. Because I used to be part of the club, I'm the only one who can fix it. I'm doing this for the people, and this movement is just right - and we will take back this country for you and Make America Great Again.
The corrupt establishment knows that we are an existential threat to their criminal enterprise. They know, that if we win, their power is gone and returned to you. The clouds hanging over our government can be lifted, and replaced with a bright future - but it all depends on whether we let the New York Times decide our future, or whether we let the American people decide our future.

The notion of holding everything together ... for the benefit of "The Investigation" ... is designed to bullshit two groups of people.
Group A - Donald Trump. Who still has an ingrained respect for titles and credentials.
Group B - The JackStraws ... who have a faith-based need to believe that The System Is Working.

Posted by: Google.com at September 14, 2018 07:52 PM (CDGwz)
First - we already basically know about the criminal misbehavior of DOJ/FBI in terms of FISA stuff, without full declassification. All the pieces of that stinking puzzle are in place, in public.
Second - remember where you are, and when. There is no press in the US, in fact instead there is a loose, not formally coordinated, "anti-press" in the US, i.e. the dominant established info and comms institutions actively *conceal* the real news, in this case in particular. What parts of a galactically huge story like this surface, are explained away. The "press" is 95% an advocate for one (dirty, guilty) party/side in this entire mess - not a purveyor of info to the public.
Declassification "bombshells" would, I'm guessing, have close to zero impact, on anything. But I'm open to having it acesplained to me how I might be wrong about that.

The answer was supposed to be the Special Counsel rules, where the Special Counsel is more of an investigator who issues reports that the DOJ can then prosecute. The initial appointment requires a finding of a belief that a crime has been committed. The Special Counsel is supposed to be a on a short leash held by the Attorney General (in this case it went to the DOJ #2, Rosenstein, because Sessions had recused himself).
Ostensibly Rosenstein issued Mueller's appointment under the Special Counsel rules but added extra language. Obviously this was by design.
Ironically there are a dozen or more matters at the DOJ/FBI that scream out for Special Counsel investigations. I'm not sure, but wonder whether these investigations are blocked from criminal action because of the overbroad grant that Mueller got, so that Mueller won't stop until a Deep State friendly President gets elected.

But the logical disconnect remains. If Manafort were going to make a deal, because he has anything to offer, he'd have done it already, to mitigate sentencing in the first case (which I assume he fought only because he thought he had a chance of winning).
Guess we'll see. As many have thought since the outset, since there's nothing to "give up", the whole "flipping" thing has been a silly fantasy all along.

The Clintons are criminals. This is well-documented, and the
establishment that protects them has engaged in a massive cover-up of
widespread criminal activity at the State Department and Clinton
Foundation in order to keep the Clintons in power. Never in history have
we seen such a cover-up as this, one that includes the destruction of
33,000 emails, 13 phones, laptops, missing boxes of evidence, and on and
on.
People who are capable of such crimes against our nation are capable of anything.
[...] But I take all of these slings and arrows for you. I take them
for our movement, so that we can have our country back. Our great
civilization, here in America and across the civilized world, has come
upon a moment of reckoning.

As I have said now for the 5th time in this thread, Muller turned over Podesta and Craig 2 months ago to the Southern District of New York because going after him was outside his mandate. You know, the process.
And I find it hilarious that a guy who went from the military to being an engineer whines about process. It's been your entire professional life. There are no professions more anal, more ruled by process, than the military and engineers.
