PODESTA & MERCURY KNEW: New MUELLER info shows that the firms knew the non-profit they were representing was a front for MANAFORT's pro-Russian client. A Mercury employee said the set-up was "like Alice in Wonderland. A Podesta employee called it a fig leaf on a fig leaf.
BAD FOR @PODESTAGROUP: Emails suggest that the lobbying firm knew all along that their work was for the pro-Russian government of Ukraine, & not a non-profit group, per new info from MUELLER, which calls into question Podesta's basis for not registering under FARA.
