Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted July 20, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) They really don't care about showing their bias any more. For a nearly identical crime one is facing life in prison and the friend of the Clinton's get immunity. Priceless. 7 people charged under FARA in 50 years. 3 this year whose main issue was having ties to Trump. Tony Podesta offered immunity to testify against Paul Manafort Tony Podesta has been offered immunity by Special Counsel Robert Mueller to testify against Paul Manafort, Fox News' Tucker Carlson reported, citing two unnamed sources. Podesta is the founder of the Podesta Group and brother of John Podesta, who was chairman of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. The Podesta Group reportedly worked with Manafort -- a former chairman of Donald Trump's 2016 campaign -- to lobby on behalf of Ukrainian interests in the United States, without properly registering at the time under the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), Carlson said. Manafort and the group worked on a campaign called the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine, the Washington Times reported. "In other words, for a near identical crime, Bill and Hillary's friend could escape and emerge completely unscathed while Paul Manafort may rot in jail," Carlson said. Podesta did not register as a foreign agent under FARA, Carlson said in a segment last October. Mueller is also offering immunity to five potential witnesses in the upcoming trial of Manafort, the Washington Examiner reported. Mueller's team is requesting "use immunity," which is a limited type of immunity, the publication reported, citing court documents filed Tuesday. The five people have not been charged or identified publicly with the case, prosecutors for Mueller’s team said, according to the Examiner. Tony Podesta resigned from his lobbying group in October in response to Mueller’s investigation of the firm, the report said. The firm was reportedly closed by the end of last year. The special counsel’s office did not immediately respond for comment. Manafort is accused of multiple financial crimes in connection with lobbying work he performed in Ukraine. The first of his two upcoming trials, in Virginia, is scheduled to begin next week Edited July 20, 2018 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny little weak fists of fury heading to DC for their own slaughter. Almost makes you want to live closer. But, I think there will be plenty of clean up for everyone in their own areas.

Its kind of funny, I generally don't talk politics at work, but they invariably come up. its usually one of two reactions, quietly happy that he got elected, happy at the direction the country is going......or......spewing the latest CNN talking point about and literally losing their shit over the guy. Lady last week was going on about the 3000 babies ripped from their parents arms, and now they're lost, they can't find where they went11111!!1 ermaghahhd!!11! Never mind her portfolio was up about 18% last year and how maybe Trump had just a little to do with it....

Our divide is growing and being fueled by the MSM. Sometimes, a good dust up is necessary. It’ll be sad but, As they say, it is what it is.
