Ex-Obama Lawyer Expects To Be Indicted In Mueller-Related Case

31

The Saboteur-In-Chief wasn’t content with the eight years of damage he did as President. The last act from the post-American President was to sabotage his American successor. It was typical of the smallness, meanness, and pettiness of the Obama administration, and the man himself, and exemplified his contempt for America and its people. Now he still remains determined to make sure that Trump cannot and does not make America great again. The American people shouldn’t accept this attempted coup, and those responsible should be prosecuted. But of course the Democrats, still as bent on overturning the results of the 2016 presidential election as they ever were, will do everything they can to keep that from happening.

“BREAKING: Ex-Obama Lawyer Expects To Be Indicted In Mueller-Related Case,” by Ryan Saavedra, Daily Wire, April 10, 2019 (thanks to Christian):

The legal team for former Obama White House lawyer Greg Craig say that they expect Craig to be indicted in the near future on charges related to work that he performed in 2012 for the Russia-aligned government of Ukraine.

Story continues below advertisement

“Mr. Craig has refused to accept a plea deal, and the matter could be presented to a grand jury for indictment as soon as Thursday, people familiar with the matter say,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “The people familiar with the situation say they believe Mr. Craig will be charged with making false statements to the Justice Department unit that oversees the activities of foreign agents, though other charges are possible.”

The case against the 74-year-old Democrat — who has served in senior legal positions under two Democrat presidents — originated from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

“This case was thoroughly investigated by the SDNY and that office decided not to pursue charges against Mr. Craig,” Craig’s legal team said in a statement. “We expect an indictment by the DC US Attorney’s Office at the request of the National Security Division. Mr. Craig is not guilty of any charge and the government’s stubborn insistence on prosecuting Mr. Craig is a misguided abuse of prosecutorial discretion.”

Then-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych hired Craig and his law firm at the time — Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP — to review the corruption trial of political opponent Yulia ­Tymoshenko.

“Craig resigned from Skadden in April 2018 amid a building investigation into whether the firm’s lawyers failed to register as foreign lobbyists for their Ukraine engagement,” The Washington Post reported. “Prosecutors have been investigating whether Craig issued false statements to the Justice Department in 2013 as officials made inquiries to the firm about whether its work required public registration, people familiar with the case said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe the ongoing probe.”

The Post notes that human rights advocates claim that the report that Skadden produced, which Skadden claimed was an independent analysis, had been “engineered by Yanukovych’s government and whitewashed the jailing of his political opponent.”

The Post further notes that former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort, who helped Yanukovych’s 2010 campaign, “eventually admitted that he and other lobbyists used the Skadden report as part of a broad effort to improve Yanukovych’s reputation in the West, which had suffered after the widely condemned jailing of ­Tymoshenko.”

The alleged false statement that prosecutors are focused on reportedly involves contact that he had with the media, specifically The New York Times, and whether Craig’s contact with the media would have required him to have registered as a foreign lobbyist.

Alex van der Zwaan, a former London-based attorney for Skadden, “reported to a low-security Federal Bureau of Prisons facility near Allenwood, Pennsylvania, on Monday to serve the 30-day sentence he received for lying to investigators in the course of Mueller’s investigation,” Politico reported….

the next 18 months can be fun if trump wants them to be. keep squeezing the balls on all these slimy guys until one caves, and then the house of evil cards constructed by the muslim will implode. this will give us sensational show trials and senate hearings in the fall of 2020, just in time for the election, where the whole world can watch as the light of day is finally put on the muslim’s reign of terror. however, it’s up to trump to make this happen

Yes, those “wheels of justice” may start to turn in around 2095. By then, they should have a firm grasp of who did what.

Optimism is a challenge these days and has been so since the Democrats thrust the new messiah upon the nation. The fact Hillary was slam dunked in 2016 was positive; however, it has all run downhill ever since in light of the Democrats’ Neo-Nazism manifesto and its alliance with the Islamist scourge. Not to discount the Globalists, George Soros and a bevy of others endeavoring to crush our Republic.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you (Luke 6:38 Berean Study Bible). Reciprocity can work in a negative way also. It can happen tomorrow, or happen in a more distant future, but “what goes around comes around.”

Will Greg Craig talk and lead us to Obama or will he have an “accident”?

Jim McDougal was cooperating and denied his heart medication so he died at the Federal Correctional Facility in Fort Worth, Texas. He was only 57. While his wife Susan McDougal refused to cooperate and won a pardon.

Magically Obama’s white Grandmother got a little too chatty on some issues. She was in good health but magically she died just before he was elected. Instead of Michele and the kiddies going out to say goodbye, Obama and a team of lawyers went. After Obama said goodbye to her, the lawyers stayed and she died. Obama’s white grandmother died on November 3, 2008 between the hours of 4 am and 5 am in her home in Honolulu Hawaii The election was November 4th. Muslims don’t celebrate Christmas so on 12/23/08 he tossed her ashes into the ocean near where he tossed his white mother’s ashes into the ocean in Hawaii. He could have cared less. He HATES white people.

BTW it was Hillary that stirred up the birth certificate issue – not Trump! His grandmother stated she witnessed his birth in Kenya. His birth certificate was sealed – how odd… and then unsealed. When unsealed it was sealed up again when problem were noted with the language and form used. His grandmother screwed up on that. We’ll never know what his background is. Even the book he wrote was lies or as he put it a “composite” of many people.
Everyone covered up for him.

I also don’t believe that Supreme Court Justice Scalia’s death was a random accident.No body guards? A major Obama donor find him dead with a “pillow over his face”? Do you normally sleep that way? Important Supreme Court cases coming up that would have tipped conservative if he had not suddenly died, give me pause. The Scalia family let the country down by not requiring an autopsy.

I found Scalia dead with a pillow over his head: ranch owner
By Marisa Schultz February 15, 2016

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s head was under a pillow when he was found dead at a Texas ranch, according to the ranch owner who found his body.

“We discovered the judge in bed, a pillow over his head. His bedclothes were unwrinkled,” Texas millionaire John Poindexter told the San Antonio Express-News Sunday, describing how he found the 79-year-old jurist in the “El Presidente” suite at Poindexter’s 30,000-acre luxury ranch on Saturday.

“It looked like he had not quite awakened from a nap,” Poindexter said.

He later told the New York Times, “His hands were sort of almost folded on top of the sheets. The sheets weren’t rumpled up at all.”

Obama awarded John Poindexter a medal for his Viet Nam service – he was a MAJOR donor of Obama.

That would be nice. I’d also like to see “low IQ” Maxine Waters exposed.
It is so ridiculously corrupt that even brainless mad Maxine cleaned up.

INVESTIGATE MAXINE WATERS and HER Russian BUSINESS DEALINGS!

Maxine Waters Has Her Own Russian Connections Laid Bare By Internet Sleuths
BY TIFFANI GREY
ON MAY 17, 2017 AT 4:55PM

Congresswoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., is one of the Democrats’ most outspoken talking heads, frequently calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment and citing his alleged “collusion with Russia.” However, her bombastic speeches and calls to action have often been found baseless. In fact, a recently uncovered Russian connection was linked directly to Waters herself.

Got News uncovered a 2015 disclosure statement from Waters which “details her family’s investments in BlackRock’s Russia-connected Global Allocation and Balanced funds.”

This is intriguing considering that as of late, Waters has used her 15 minutes of fame to bash Trump and even went as far as to tweet “Follow the Money,” in order to further her claim of collusion with Russia and Trump campaign officials.

Well, some internet sleuths did follow the money — but it didn’t lead to Trump, it led right back to Waters.

According to RedFlag News, Waters “held $200,000 in Russia-linked retirement accounts.”

In addition to the insane amount of money that Waters had tied up in these Russian accounts, Water’s BlackRock fund revealed another surprising twist.

So who is the one really tied up with Russia? Waters’ own statement shows a personal financial connection to the Kremlin to the tune of $200,000, while her fund has millions of dollars worth of obligations to the Russian Federation.

The Negro should never be considered “President”. He was by all means a usurper and traitor. I still don’t know who or what the Negro sodomite was doing up there. There is no BC, no college records, no pictures of a pregnant Michael, no pictures of his borrowed kids as babies.

All I know is he made a FOOL of himself on the world’s stage and flies and rats like to be around this fellow. He exhibited “tilly” or mahoo* behavior unbecoming of someone who liked to go around calling himself “President”.

Not to mention putting his feet on the desk showing his Demoncrap contempt for the office. Clinton use to get oral blow jobs there doing a little more worse than the waycist Negro.

Jimmy Catah use to wear sweaters in the Oval Office that used to piss off Ronald Reagan. As you can see Demoncraps have NO regard for your Republic and NO Demoncrap should ever hold any office up there.

They also SELL out to your enemies your missile technology, your TOP TOP secrets or give away your sea gates or arm your enemies with billions in cash.

Yet, NONE have been HANGED for what they did making me wonder if we have just have a one-party system?

*Mahoo – a Hawaiian word for an effeminate man or one who acts like a girl.

Fact is that the DimocRAT allegations of Russia collusion that mysteriously caused the election of Donald Trump as President have been proven false but Ukraine’s collusion with Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign to help her get elected so she could serve their national influence via bribes given to the Clinton Foundation was real! Concentrating on 2012 is just a start & probably the dead end of this investigation that would show if pursued all the way, that Hillary Clinton did all that Pres Trump was accused of with the support & knowledge of The Obama, our Commander in Chief of Lies and Purveyor of Bad Deeds! The Obama makes Putin look good especially since Putin was the only white political figure who didn’t give Obama affirmative action treatment over Crimea & proved to the world what a “Happy Fool & Useful idiot” to use the terms of Lenin, The Obama really was! We on the right owe Vladimir Putin more than we are willing to admit, as Putin gave Obama a fit, making him look small because his charm and influence was nothing real at all!
