Discussion: CNN: Feds Eyeing Charges Against Greg Craig For Manafort Ukraine Work

Sorry, I forgot to use the sarcasm font. :wink:

Clinton Lawyer Caught in Ukraine Scandal

Craig did technically resign from that position - you are right. However, it was a resignation under pressure as he was being moved out regardless. The general explanation was that Craig bore responsibility for the poor handling of Obama’s attempts to close Gitmo (He did not anticipate congressional objections and put Obama in a difficult position.)

Yes we will take our lumps. But it has been running 99-1 against the Rs. I would love for it to be shown that 40-50 republicans have Rubles in their warchest and 0 dems. Those D’s who have gone out adventuring as mercenaries are troubling but I believe are outliers. I expected more D’s to be implicated but refreshingly almost every rock you turn over has a russian and a republican under it…and after 2 yrs of investigating this only 3 marginal D’s have any taint. None of them are elected Ds. Just mercenaries who once did work for Dems.

Kavanagh has been referred to as a Forest Gump of the right wing legal world. Not only the Elian Gonzalez case but also the 2000 Florida recount, Terri Scheivo and defending Jeb’s school voucher program.

Being old enough to not only remember all of this, but also remembering that all my kids were adults at the time, makes me feel especially old. When I saw “Greg Craig” in the headline I just had some kind of PTSD buzz. We deserve a break today. Please, get everyone with a brain to vote so we can go back to reading books for pleasure and working in the garden.

Yep. It’s like a friggin’ “Greatest Hits of Injustices of the Turn of the Century” album that comes in multiple shipments for only $9.95 each. You can opt out of them individually, but why wouldn’t you want the whole set?
