WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Robert Mueller’s grand jury is investigating a prominent Democratic lobbyist and a former GOP congressman for their involvement in an influence campaign on behalf of Ukrainian interests tied to Paul Manafort, according to a person with direct knowledge of the investigation.
At the center of the widening probe are Tony Podesta, a longtime Democratic operative, and Vin Weber, a former GOP congressman and leader of his own high-powered lobbying firm, Mercury LLC. The two men were hired as part of a multimillion-dollar lobbying effort directed by Manafort and longtime associate Rick Gates.

Separately, Mueller has an ongoing investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn on similar allegations related to lobbying work his firm performed for a Turkish businessman.

Sorry I ruffled your silly old feathers. Unintelligent? Show me again where trump is being investigated.
Every single person who has come into contact with Donald Trump and his campaign is under investigation. Just not Trump. Piece it all together, please.

Note one Democratic operative and one Republican. The investigation is not biased, so swamp creatures of every flavor are being flushed out.

I heard trump proposition the Russians for Hillary's emails. On TV, in front of millions of Americans.
IMO, they are all traitors. Especially our representatives. They all rub together by one or two degrees of separation. They know who the perverts and crooks are. They know trump is there to destroy. They know everything, get their retirement benefits and quit. They do nothing to protect us from enemies within or without.

I don't care about the data. I care that he propositioned an adversary nation. No wonder people around him are being investigated. Because, like Hillary, he won't be held accountable.
