The office of special counsel Robert Mueller just released a document which appears to show that longtime Democratic Party power broker Tony Podesta misled federal investigators when questioned about his obligations, and how he understood them, under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
The document is dated March 31, 2017 and was released late Saturday morning in line with a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request initiated by the New York Times‘ Kenneth Vogel. Taking the form of a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) National Security Division and addressed to Podesta’s attorney Matthew T. Sanderson, the document reads, in relevant part:
In conclusion, we have determined that Podesta must register under FARA, because the firm’s activities on behalf of the [European Centre For a Modern Ukraine (ECFMU)] constitute “political activities” as defined under the Act and were conducted at the order, request, or under the direction or control of a foreign principal…in furtherance of, and for the purpose of influencing, U.S. government officials and sections of the public within the United States, with reference to the political or public interests, policies or relations of a foreign government or foreign political party.
The document continues, noting, “the principal beneficiary of the political activities conducted within the United States was the Ukrainian government and/or the [pro-Russian] Party of Regions.”

No....you don’t say
The crickets will be working overtime.
Bum, bum, baaah.
Any of us would already be wearing orange.
Soooooo, will anything ever be done a out all of the Democratic Party corruption? I mean seriously!
Tony Podesta ‘misled’. Tony Podesta is, most likely, not a Republican or report would say ‘Tony Podesta LIED’.
The only real question here is Podesta the sacrificial lamb? As he could take a lot of top dems - including hillary and huma - down with him.
He’s non-indictable, or his beating the rap will be pre-planned.
Or, he’ll be killed, as there is no way the islamicommies would let him be tried in open court.
No biggie.
If you’re a Rat party operative, you’ll be forgiven with kisses.
Clinton, Podesta, McCabe, Strozk, Yates, Page, Ohr, Halper...the list is endless.
At most you’ll lose your job, but ya get to keep the pension and the fringes.
Republican operatives who play a bit fast and loose with paperwork?
Centuries of jail time, confiscation of all property and money no matter how minor the infraction, your wife gets stripped in her bedroom and frisked by smirking “agents”, and then they go after your friends and your kids.
Did we vote to live in a country like this?
Precedent demands he be clamped in irons! No bail!
When are We-The-People going to have justice in DC?
When are We-The-People going to have lawful government in DC?
The Left investigating the Left ?
....initiated by the New York Times‘ Kenneth Vogel. .....
.... Tony Podesta misled
Mueller Blahblah.
Pro-Russian
SWATted in the middle of the night.
Mislead is used for demonrats.
Lied is used for Trump associates.
>>When are We-The-People going to have justice in DC?

They’ve taken away the soapbox through censorship.
The ballot box means nothing when they are counting.
Jury box means only what some crooked judge says it means.
Is your fourth box ready?
Misled. Democratic speak for lied.
In any case, he did it unintentionally, because, he’s a democrat. As a republican, he would already be wearing striped black and white garb in a prison cell.
Bet he doesn’t do anything. He’s a Democratic Party tool.
There is no “Equal Justice for all”.
Has Mueller granted him immunity and destroyed all the evidence against him yet?
