Federal prosecutors in Washington indicted former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig on April 11, accusing him of making false statements in connection to his foreign lobbying work in Ukraine.

Prosecutors say Craig lied to both his law firm and government investigators about the extent and nature of his contacts with the media in connection to a report he prepared on Ukraine.

The prosecutors allege Craig knowingly perpetrated the scheme in order to avoid registering as a foreign agent, which would undermine the perception of independence of both the report and Craig and “impair the ability of Craig and others at the law firm to later return to government positions.”

Former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig is indicted. He was under investigation by Robert Mueller.

Democrats wanted Mueller to indict someone. Well, there you go.

Craig was a major campaign aid and was WH Counsel for a year. So this is at least as newsworthy as the Manafort prosecution, yet that got many broadcast hours and column-feet of coverage, while there was minimal to zero coverage of Craig, even though it's been months that he was known to have done this. What are the odds the trial will get more than a few seconds on TV "news" or two lines on ZZ-28 of the NYT and WashPost?

Will Craig turn states evidence to save his own hide and bury creepy Uncle Joe in the process?  I'm sure he probably has some written record of the negotiations for aid to Ukraine that led to his son getting fat stacks of cash for nothing...

Barry and the Mooch have been braying about "no indictments within MY administration" (paraphrased). I wonder if they'll continue their lies and distortions.

Of course they will.  :thatsright: Barry and the Mooch are criminals too. Kinda like Hillary, only not quite so bad.

Former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig is indicted. He was under investigation by Robert Mueller.

obozo: "no one in my administration was indicted."  Not only did he forget to add "b/c the deep state was in league with me," but this ends that fiction.
