In a move sending ripples throughout Washington, the Justice Department (DOJ) indicted President Obama’s former White House Counsel Gregory Craig on Thursday, April 11. Craig was charged with lying to investigators and violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, also known as FARA. The DOJ’s FARA enforcement efforts appear to be ramping up and political spectators should not be surprised if major Democrat players are next to feel the heat.
Experts believe that Craig’s indictment will trigger “shock waves” through legal circles given Craig’s ties to former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and, by extension, the Trump administration. What remains underreported is the fact that the Ukrainian trail of influence that implicates Manafort and Craig leads directly to Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
