The Mueller Investigation Spreads

For John, BLUF:  Once you launch a Special Council there is no telling where the investigation might end up.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Mueller Now Investigating Democratic Lobbyist Tony Podesta

NOTE:  This is NOT Ms Hillary Clinton's Campaign boss, John Podesta, but his Brother.

This is from NBC News and Reporters Tom Winter and Julia Ainsley, 23 October 2017.

Here is the lede plus two:

Tony Podesta and the Podesta Group are now the subjects of a federal investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, three sources with knowledge of the matter told NBC News.

The probe of Podesta and his Democratic-leaning lobbying firm grew out of Mueller's inquiry into the finances of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, according to the sources.  As special counsel, Mueller has been tasked with investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Manafort had organized a public relations campaign for a non-profit called the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine (ECMU).  Podesta's company was one of many firms that worked on the campaign, which promoted Ukraine's image in the West.

Frankly, I don't believe any leaks supposedly emanating from the Mueller Investigation(s).

That said, there are some small signs that the Russia/Trump collision meme may be turning against the Democrats.
