Mueller shifts to Tony Podesta, Democratic lobbying firm:
thehill.com ^ | 10/23/17 | thehill

Posted on 10/30/2017 11:13:10 AM PDT by ColdOne

Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group, according to an NBC News report.

Mueller, who is leading the investigation into Russia’s attempts to meddle in the U.S. presidential election, is reportedly probing the firm to determine whether it violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) in its work for the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine (ECFMU). The nonprofit ECFMU was part of a public relations campaign run by President Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, to bolster Ukraine’s reputation.

OK everyone...

What would happen if Mueller ‘concludes his investigation’ and does a Comey-like announcement of the facts before declaring that he recommends NO INDICTMENT for hilLIARy (because he found no ‘intent’)

I think I would actually get angry.

And not the hyperbole internet “ooh i’m so mad” type of angry...
But really angry.

I don't think so.

Time will tell.

Events are proving the opposite is true. Hopefully coming events are as positive for Trump as today's were.

Here's a version that is a little easier to read, and can be cut and pasted:

Look, I feel bad for /pol/. You guys have been thrown off so much by intentionally misleading breadcrumbs that no one
has any idea what's been happening for the last 10 months. So I'm gonna throw you guys a bone. Forget the dossier. The
real story is Uranium One.

1. We've known that Holder was covering up Russian bribes for Uranium One for a long time now. Hell, even Clinton
Cash tells everyone about the bribes that were taking place. The reason Mueller left the FBI was because he was
fed up with the corruption of Holder/Clinton/Obama. Holder kept telling Mueller to kill investigations and bury
evidence. I don't know what you think of Mueller, but I can tell you, he's an honorable man. The corruption of
Holder/Obama/Clinton was eating him up alive. He resigned in 2013 when he just couldn't keep doing this.
Then they got Comey who was coerced into continuing the coverup.

2. Manafort, Comey, Rosenstein, Podesta, Clintons, Holders and Lynch are all on one team. We affectionately call them
the "Clinton Cabal." To take this cabal down, we needed someone who was close to career FBI agants because they
were holding all the evidence. When the DNC and Clinton spun the Trump/Russian collusion conspiracy back in Dec.,
we couldn't believe it. They gave us the perfect way to expose them. We would use the Russian investigation to
expose the bribery/extortion racket that took place back in 2009 and continued through 2015.

3. We got Mueller to sign on to investigate the connection. We needed him because he had been at the FBI for almost as
a long as Hoover and knew all the agents that were sitting on the Russian/Clinton connection. More
importantly, he hates Holder/Obama/Clinton. The plan was, to get the special investigator council headed by
Mueller and have the FBI agents hand over all the evidence. Unfortunately, we didn't count on Comey being
such an obstacle. In the short time he was Director of the FBI, he had many allies who were proving to be loyal to
him. He had to go. We knew it would be messy, but we had Pres Trump fire him. It caused a lot of headache for
us, but in the end, it was worth it. Mueller's been gathering evidence from his former agents for months now.
Along with the raid to Manafort and Podesta, we now have enough evidence to connect all the dots. Mueller also
convinced the FBI informant to speak up. Getting the gag order removed was trivial.

4. We gave the Hill a heads up. We knew the switch in narrative from trump/Russia to Clinton/Russia would take a
little time. We had them drop the Uranium One article exactly one week before we would make our first arrests.
Couple of days later, we dropped the dossier info. We needed to hammer the train. The first arrests will be
Manafort and Tony Podesta. These guys are not the real target, they are just soldiers. The real targets are
Hillary, Holder, Rosenstein, and John Podesta. We would love to expose Obama as well but Pres Trump is adamant
about protecting former Presidents. Even if they are corrupt pieces of shit, he believes in the dignity of the
office. He feels that ruining the legacy of a President will do nothing but hurt our country. This is why both
Bush's, Bill Clinton, Obama, and even LBJ will be spared. The rest of the JFK files released will not include
the essential information implicating LBJ and Bush Sr.

5. This is it. The final moves will take place over the next 4 weeks. They could have let this go. Honestly, Pres
Trump wanted to get on with Making America Great Again. Period. But Hillary and the DNC just couldn't let go. They
asked for this. They kept making up shit and now they're going to pay. If they kept their heads low and fade
into obscurity, we would not have gone this route. They have no one to blame but themselves.

I won't be responding to questions here. I know who is watching. They're probably trying to trace me right now.
Take care anon. Peace be with you.

“Getting” Paul Manafort probably requires doing some damageto the Podestas, too. Mueller could even find himself being sucked into a direction in which he does not want to go.

Mueller is going after the Manafort Russia connections that will be hard tokeep from chopping the feet out from under the Podestas and the Podestas are awfully close to the Clintons and some obvious collusion that is now public knowledge even though the press and the left don[’t want to talk about it at all. Trust Donald trump. he could have shut this down. He didn’. He doesn’t do or not do things without a plan.

This is like Comey looking into Hillary emails, so he could say “nothing to see here.”

I think y'all need to figure this out really quick.

Mueller is going to nail Manafort's ass to the wall, followed by someone on the Democrat side. Whether that's Podesta, someone from the Hillary campaign, someone in the DNC, whoever it doesn't matter.

That's when the calls to regulate the internet and political speech begin.

This is rapidly morphing into a swamp move to control the Internet and free speech, using "the Russians did it!" as their cover.

All y'all need to catch up as to what's really going on here.

Just like the Patriot Act was ready to roll out right after 9-11, our Government has something waiting in the wings to regulate speech and political activity on the Internet.

Why else would Google and Fakebook be so willing to help the Government's "investigation" here?

Wake up y'all!

The corruption of Holder/Obama/Clinton was eating him up alive. He resigned in 2013 when he just couldn't keep doing this.

This is false information about Mueller.

Mueller didn't resign from the FBI in 2013 because he was disgusted. In fact the opposite is true.

Mueller's 10 year term at the FBI expired in 2011. An FBI director is supposed to only serve one term. Instead of leaving in 2011, Mueller gladly accepted an exemption and a two year extension by Obama.

So he's covered up the Uranium Deal and the rest of it since 2009.

Whoever originated your above information is probably trying to protect Mueller.

Mueller’s first job is not justice, but rather to protect the FBI, its agents, and Comey. That is his true allegiance.

The FBI made many “mistakes” in the last 5 years and those facts must never see the light of day in a court.

I’d be willing to bet that nothing happens to Podestas or Clinton’s. Mueller is hack and should have been fired months ago. He’s going after Tax evasion (which is fine but well outside his job description)

Hmm, which federal agency would you like to waste taxpayer money “investigating” people who have paintings you don’t like?

“The fox reports that the hen house is safe and sound”.

That doesn’t mean that an honorable investigator can come in later and do an actual investigation, does it. If Mueller clears the crooks now, is double jeopardy a factor, or can new charges be brought against the freaks? Would they forever be immune to anything and everything from now ‘til Doomsday?

Obviously you’ve never actually read the actual email thread if that’s what you think it was about. It wasn’t about killing anyone, it wasn’t about leaking emails, and it was from years before the emails were even leaked.

You have a strange definition of “kiddie porn” then.
