The Mueller investigation is no longer a search for Russian collusion with Trump in the 2016 race. It is now a much more far-reaching inquiry into corrupt lobbying practices all across Washington DC
Tucker Carlson yesterday. Full show at the link, but this is the gist of it.The Podesta Group was hired by Paul Manafort on behalf of foreign clients because the company was perceived to have a direct line to powerful politicians, like Hillary Clinton. The chairman of one major presidential campaign colluded with a brother of the *other* major presidential campaign to enrich themselves by secretly advancing the interests of a foreign adversary. That happened. That's "the swamp" everyone is saying needs to be drained. The Mueller investigation is no longer a search for Russian collusion with Trump in the 2016 race. It is now a much more far-reaching inquiry into corrupt lobbying practices all across Washington DC, the so-called "swamp". An investigation that is very likely to ensnare figures close to Hillary Clinton. In press accounts, Mueller's investigation is still framed as a hunt for collusion between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the government of Russia, but that description is mostly bogus. The investigation has broadened now to determine which people and which organizations in Washington DC have spent years working *secretly* as de facto operatives on behalf of Russian government and business interests. The Podesta Group is chief among these. They are more focused on facilitators of Russian influence in America than they are on election collusion. I sense a shift in the Force. For the first time in decades, a threat from Tony Podesta doesn't have the intended effect. Suddenly, no power. It was the day when everything changed. I mean we know from the John Podesta emails how they worried and worked to stamp out stories with pressure and leveraging behind the scenes. If you are a new reporter in D.C. getting a lead on a Tony Podesta story you were not able to get it out in the "old days". John Podesta has not Tweeted since October 14th. He knows shit is about to go down. Posted by: Herb McCoy7309 2017-11-01 |
