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.
In addition, these sources said, prosecutors in the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York are considering taking action against powerhouse law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, where Craig was a partner during the activity under examination. Prosecutors are considering a civil settlement with the firm or a deferred prosecution agreement with Skadden, these sources said.
An attorney for Craig, who left the Skadden firm in April and who was White House counsel under President Barack Obama during the first year of that administration, said his client "was not required to register under the Foreign Agent Registration Act." A spokeswoman for Skadden didn't respond to a request for comment.

TRANSLATION: No effing way.
The swamp is deep
Maybe there is no way. But, Mueller could salvage part of his reputation with indictments. He could cast off some the “witch hunt” slime.
Isn’t this a good thing?
What about Tony Podesta? Did he register as a foreign agent?
It’s ok if you’re a Democrat.
Look at John Kerry. He’s working for the Iranian government but nobody seems to give a darn.
Ironically, that was one of the first charges against Trump, et al. They were talking to the Russians after the election while Obama was still in office .
This may very well be the cooperation from Manafort Mueller seeks...
Notice they say “considering” charges. If it was someone related to Trump campaign they would have already been charged.
Nothing will happen- he will walk.
