"There is considerable interest surrounding a federal indictment (full pdf below) of President Obama legal counsel Greg Craig today for lying to federal investigators about his lobbying efforts for Ukraine.
However, some of the details within the indictment are being conveniently glossed over. First the DOJ announcement:
WASHINGTON – A federal grand jury today returned an indictment charging Gregory B. Craig... for willfully falsifying and concealing material facts from the FARA Unit, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001(a)(1), and for making false and misleading statements to the FARA Unit, in violation Title 22, United States Code, Section 618(a)(2). (more)
OK, so he lied to federal investigators, right?
But what’s missing from the DOJ release, that can only been caught if you actually read the indictment, is that his lies were to Robert Mueller and the special counsel.Now, take a look at the dates:
Mr. Craig was caught lying on October 19th, 2017.
Why wasn’t Greg Craig charged by the special counsel at the same time Mueller, Rosenstein and Weissmann were prosecuting Manafort or Flynn?
What we see here is a transparent political effort to enhance the Section 1001(a)(1) charge against Flynn (Team Trump), by hiding the Section 1001(a)(1) against Craig (Team Obama).
How long did Mueller, Rosenstein and Weissmann sit on the Craig evidence before turning it over to the DC prosecutors?
...Unsealed today, April 11, 2019.
Why?
Politics.
That’s why..."

Why the delay?
Even more interesting…. why hand it off?
The Section 1001(a)(1) charge is the same exact charge applied to Michael Flynn a month later.
Why did Mueller, Rosenstein and Weissmann chose to avoid Greg Craig, pass off his case, then turn around and charge Michael Flynn with the exact same violation?What we see here is a transparent political effort to enhance the Section 1001(a)(1) charge against Flynn (Team Trump), by hiding the Section 1001(a)(1) against Craig (Team Obama).
