An attorney who worked for a prominent law firm was charged with making false statements to federal authorities as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe of Russian collusion in the 2016 presidential election. Alex Van Der Zwaan was charged Feb. 16 in federal court in Washington with lying to investigators about conversations related to a report he helped prepare on the trial of a Ukrainian politician, Yulia Tymoshenko. Van Der Zwaan was charged with a criminal information, which typically precedes a guilty plea. Van Der Zwaan, identified on his LinkedIn page as an associate in the London office of Skadden, Arps, Slate Meagher & Flom, was questioned regarding the firm’s work in 2012 on behalf of the Ukraine Ministry of Justice. He allegedly lied to investigators about his last communications with Richard Gates, who was indicted in October with ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort over their consulting work in Ukraine.



What a fricking joke this sham is.


Two lies, two tax evaders, and 13 Twitter bots.

My God what a joke.



Edit: Title change just to whip the proggies into a fake lather. Sorry boys, you got blue balled again.

Didn't the Podesta bros do the same thing as Manafort? They should have been locked up months ago

Mueller and his team members are making a $1000 per hour for this.


Good gig if you can get it.

One of the biggest and most powerful law firms in the world. Either Honest Bobby is trying to rattle someone's cage or he's scraping the bottom of the barrel to get indictments to justify his hourly billing rate.

Honestly, that's probably all he's doing with most of the indictments so far, especially the Russian ones. Those Russians will never see a US courtroom, but the inclusion of the email from one of them that the FBI was onto them in the release was certainly meant for someone to see. Who knows who that someone is.

He is digging around the gigantic Trump legal team moat with a garden shovel coming up with mote sized scoops.

I can't figure out how you indict "an entity." Apparently we've indicted three of them.

What... He told them it was a Wednesday afternoon and come to find out, it was actually that Thursday night?

But hey... y'all got Trump by the short hairs now.

I can't either, but I think the only purpose the Russian indictments are serving is sending a message to someone. I'm far from a legal expert, but I don't think they have much legal teeth.

Should be no doubts now about Gates being flipped.

A thorough investigation can’t be held when those under investigation are free to lie without repercussion. Trump’s crew can lie all day long to the public, but when they get in a room with the FBI they should probably start being truthful.

Seems to be cruising right along to me. Let's see what the investigation uncovers.

You're right. But the message is to liberals to keep the dream alive. This shite is a colossal waste of taxpayer funds and does nothing to prolong a fabricated excuse for a shitty campaign.

The Russians knew to advertise in purple states but Hillary didn't? What the frick ever....

This whole damn thing is a sham and at this point doing nothing but dividing our country.
