President Obama’s top White House lawyer, Gregory B. Craig, was indicted yesterday on very serious charges. This is a really big story, but the Fake News New York Times didn’t even put it on page one, rather page 16. @washingtonpost not much better, “tiny” page one. Corrupt News!
Excerpts
Washington attorney Gregory B. Craig, who served as
White House counsel for President Barack Obama, was charged Thursday
with lying to federal officials who were examining whether he should
have registered as a foreign lobbyist for legal work he did for the
Ukrainian government in 2012.
The indictment
stems from work Craig did with GOP lobbyist Paul Manafort while Craig
was a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, the law firm
he joined after ending his tenure at the White House. Manafort, the
former campaign chairman to President Trump, pleaded guilty last year to
charges related to his Ukraine lobbying.
Craig, 74, is the first prominent Democratic figure to be charged as a
result of a foreign lobbying investigation spun out of Mueller’s probe.
The investigation led to the prosecution of Manafort, who was sentenced last month to a total of 7 ½ years in prison for lobbying violations and financial crimes, and to a plea last year by another former Skadden lawyer, Alex van der Zwaan, who admitted to lying to the FBI.
