FBI and Justice Dept Investigate Manafort's Firm

[LI] CNN reported: FBI and Justice Department prosecutors are conducting an investigation into possible US ties to alleged corruption of the former pro-Russian president of Ukraine, including the work of Paul Manafort’s firm, according to multiple US law enforcement officials.
Sen. Chaffetz To FBI Director Comey: "Do you need a referral from Congress to investigate her statements under oath?"
The investigation is broad and is looking into whether US companies and the financial system were used to aid alleged corruption by the party of former president Viktor Yanukovych.
Appears DoJ and the Bureau show plenty of investigatory initiative when it comes to senior Trump Campaign employees. I reckon one must start somewhere.
Manafort, who resigned as chairman of Donald Trump’s campaign Friday, has not been the focus of the probe, according to the law enforcement officials. The investigation is ongoing and prosecutors haven’t ruled anything out, the officials said.

The probe is also examining the work of other firms linked to the former Ukrainian government, including that of the Podesta Group, the lobbying and public relations company run by Tony Podesta, brother of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.

Anti-corruption investigators in Ukraine have alleged Yanukovych and members of his party ran a corrupt regime. He fled to Russia following a public uprising in 2014.

The FBI, Justice Department and Manafort declined to comment. A Washington attorney who represents Manafort and Yanukovych didn’t respond to a request for comment.

The Podesta group issued a statement saying it hired lawyers to examine its relationship with a not-for-profit organization linked to the ousted Ukrainian regime.

#2 DOJ investigate Manafort? Meanwhile the Clintons are running a criminal organization where the world has seldom seen theft/corruption on this grand a scale. And then they promise to shut it down if Hillary gets elected; So then, it was O.K. when Hillary was SOS? Their hubris is truly astounding.

This isn't exactly the 'Abilene Paradox.' They will have arrived at their long agreed upon destination.

#5 No, the paradox is a story about folks ending up on a hot, dusty, road trip to Abilene. Upon arrival, no one remembers why they came.

#6 I've was in Abilene many years ago. I did wonder why I went. Never been back since. I guess the wonder wore off the first time.
