Former Obama WH counsel Greg Craig indicted in charges connected to Mueller probe

Washington (CNN)A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted Greg Craig, a prominent Democratic attorney who worked for two presidents, charging him with false statements and concealing material information in connection with work he performed for Ukraine. An indictment in the case against Craig, which originated in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, has been expected for several weeks, with Craig's own lawyers saying Wednesday they anticipated such an outcome. Craig, 74, is the highest-profile Democrat to be indicted in a matter stemming from Mueller's work, which resulted in charges against numerous Republicans connected to President Donald Trump. The case is being handled by the US Attorney's office for the District of Columbia in connection with the Justice Department's national security division. The case is likely to bring renewed attention to the Justice Department's application of a once-obscure law applying to unregistered foreign agents.

I remember him as one of the blowhard lawyers for Clinton during the Monicagate impeachment. They all had rhyming names (Chuck Ruff, Greg Craig, etc.)

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I love the irony of the RATS expecting this to result in a bunch of Trump administration officials, but INSTEAD it results in the indictment of someone in Obama's "scandal free" administration.

OTOH, Hillary successfully claimed Attorney/client privilege when Foster wasn’t even her lawyer.

Also the lawyer for the father of Elian Gonzalez in helping Clinton and Reno send Elian back into Castro’s clutches.

Sending this creep to Guantanamo would be too good for him.

Those who spent 2+ years chanting, "Nothing will happen, no one will be charged, no one will be prosecuted, no one will be convicted" will be proved dead wrong.

None of this sedition, corruption and operations to undermine and compromise Trump are going away nor will they be simply forgotten about.

Will Greg be arrested at 5:30 AM by 29 FBI agents and broadcast on CNN live?

Will Greg's law office be raided by the FBI seizing the privileged communications between Greg and his clients such as Obama and Clinton?

Will the The US government asked the court to set Greg's bail at 10 million dollars? Will the court placed Greg under house arrest after prosecutors described him as a flight risk?

On the same day on which he will be sentenced by the Feds, will Greg be indicted by the Manhattan District Attorney?

The Obama Administration was corrupt to the core - made the Nixon Administration look like an elementary school cooking class.

“made the Nixon Administration look like an elementary school cooking class.”

Nixon wasn’t corrupt. What they tried to do to President Trump, they succeeded in doing to Nixon.

We had no Internet.

NBC Evening News tonight with Savannah Guthrie who is a lawyer subbing for Lester Holt announced late in the show that Greg Craig, “who served in the Obama administration” was indicted for activities in Ukraine. “Served in” is a million miles from general counsel and lawyer to both Obama and Clinton.
