New Manafort Indictments Implicate Podesta and Hillary as Well

Of course we now know as well that Obama, even while ensuring Americans that our elections systems were rock solid and could “never be invaded,” he was making sure that the states believed that they were vulnerable to Russian cyber attacks.  Obama made these assertions, if you recall, specifically because there were a bunch of accusations being thrown out at the time by the Trump campaign that if the election were won by Hillary, and it appeared that there was “monkey business,” he would be challenging the results in the courts.

Obama, the DNC, Hillary, the FNIC, and even the RINO Establishmentariat balked at this suggestion and that’s when Obama found it necessary to emphatically state on national television that our elections systems could never be infiltrated.  Well, he was right.  Except that, after Hillary’s stunning loss, it was necessary to gin up another reason than merely that she was one of the lousiest candidates they ever rigged to win the primary!

Now, we have Paul Manafort and Rick Gates under indictment by the Mueller investigation.  This newest bombshell by the media and its partners in the government is really not a “bombshell” at all, according to many who have worked inside the Beltway for the past few decades.  It is a known fact that lobbying practices in the Swamp have bought and paid-for most of the Congressmen and women since before the Civil War!

The fact that Manafort and Gates are under indictment, however, for various illegalities doesn’t answer the original charge of Trump-collusion with Russia at all.  In fact, it’s safe to say that none of what they have thrown against the wall about Manafort and Gates has anything even remotely to do with Trump or Russia.  That’s not the intention, though.

The push to get Manafort has its roots in Mueller’s inadequacy in the Trump-Russia collusion charges in that he could not find a connection.  There was no wrongdoing on the part of the campaign precisely BECAUSE the collusion was ALL Democrat.  Manafort’s and Gates’ indictment may be (and probably is) based on real facts.  They are probably guilty of massive illegal activities.  Yet, that doesn’t alter the fact that this is a HUGE problem in the Swamp and has been for decades already.  If Mueller is going after Manafort, he’s got to go after others.

As the left and the media ramp up their Manafort-ian mania against Trump, it appears the trail of destruction from special counsel Mueller’s probe has spread to Democratic power-lobbyist Tony Podesta.

As we explained in Aug 2016, Paul Manafort – now under indictment on 12 charges – and his deputy Rick gates previously worked with the Podesta Group, run by Tony Podesta, the brother of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

…emails obtained by the Associated Press showed that Gates personally directed two Washington lobbying firms, Mercury LLC and the Podesta Group, between 2012 and 2014 to set up meetings between a top Ukrainian official and senators and congressmen on influential committees involving Ukrainian interests. Gates noted in the emails that the official, Ukraine’s foreign minister, did not want to use his own embassy in the United States to help coordinate the visits.

And this is where the plot thickens, because while the bulk of the press has so far spun the entire Ukraine lobbying scandal, which led to Manafort’s resignation, as the latest “proof” that pro-Moscow powers were influencing not only Manafort but the Trump campaign in general (who some democrats have even painted of being a Putin agent), the reality is that a firm closely tied with the Democratic party, the Podesta Group, is just as implicated.
 
As AP further adds, the European Center for a Modern Ukraine, a Brussels-linked nonprofit entity which allegely ran the lobbying project, paid Mercury and the Podesta Group a combined $2.2 million over roughly two years. In papers filed in the U.S. Senate, Mercury and the Podesta Group listed the European nonprofit as an independent, nonpolitical client. The firms said the center stated in writing that it was not aligned with any foreign political entity.
