If they are zeroing in on Podesta it could be just days until Trump goes down. If you hear anything about somebody named Huma Abedin, you'll know impeachment is imminent.

Talk about a misleading thread title considering the main message of the article you linked.

So Podesta group was lobbying for the same thing they are trying to nail Manafort for. And was also not registered as a foreign agent.

Plus what Manafort was lobbying for goes strongly against what Russians want. The last thing Putin/Russia wants is Ukraine to gain membership to the EU.

So? abc buries the fact podesta wasnt registered either and was part of same lobbying campaign that goes against what Putin wants, as a foot note

All the news wants to talk about is Trump Russia collusion, but because we see the dbl standard we're the ones being misleading?

Congrats, now quote the part where they detail what they were lobbying for. Then explain how Putin actually wants Ukraine in the EU.

Well Putin was taking hostile military action against Ukraine so he was trying to gain more power in that region. But if one of his henchman is in power, while he's slowly gaining more and more power, then Ukraine being in the EU isn't quite as bad, right?

Its a matter of economics. Russia depends heavily on natural gas exports and Ukraine is a huge consumer plus the pipeline flows through Ukraine into Europe.

He in no way wants Ukraine being brought into the European market and further away from Russia's control.

Unless Putin was/is making some 4d chess move Im not seeing. He has been pretty open in opposition to such a move as EU membership for Ukraine.


ETA: if not for the gas export factor, I think you have a valid point. Putin got the main thing he wanted/needed from Ukraine which was the port of Crimea. The only other major entanglement is any situation that has potential to cause uncertentity in Russia's natural gas exports as its a lynch pin of their economy.

Well I'm having trouble figuring out why the pro-Russian party would want this then if there wasn't some projected benefit for Russia. Or maybe (actually likely) there is far more to it that I'm (or we all are) missing.
