re: NY Times: Russia Scandal Befalls Two Brothers: John and Tony Podesta

If they can make charges stick on John Podesta he will either unravel the whole nasty scheme or be headed to prison for the rest of his life.

Right now I'm looking at more of what we have concrete proof of than what my wants may be. The Uranium One story still has a ways to go before it can legitimately make it to a phase where charges are issued.

On the other hand, we know verifiably that HRC's campaign (which John ran) purposely hid the fact that they paid even a dime (much less over a million dollars) for the dossier. There is no question here of if it happened or not, the only question is who is going to be thrown under the bus for it. With John as the campaign chair it can well be argued the ultimate responsibility was his, but I could see a path where it could be rolled down to Dennis Cheng (her Finance Director).
