U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson set the trial date in Washington, D.C., along with a series of other key dates in the case, which spun out of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.Federal prosecutors from the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington are now handling the Craig case, which centers around
that he should have registered as a foreign lobbyist for legal work he did starting in 2012 to defend Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych’s jailing of a political opponent.that their defense will center around the argument that there’s no affirmative duty under the law to convey “all relevant facts” to the government. Craig’s case deals with work he did at the Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom law firm after his one-year government stint at the start of the Obama administration.
Other key dates in Jackson’s order include a May 10 deadline for Craig’s lawyers to file any motions to dismiss the case and an Aug. 5 pretrial conference.
Good
So you’re saying Obama colluded with Russia?
Sucks to be him.
Charge him, try him and if convicted, punish him. See lawless 'conservatives' not so hard is it? Well, if you're not an evil criminal it's easy--believe me.
Hey jaketapper don't see your humungus panel discussing this
charbone1 So many rats!
Is this the guy that was fired in 2010 and then worked with Paul Manafort?
While working with Paul Manafort.
I like the selective accountability/repercussions that I'm sure has existed, but is more blatant now w the current Administration😒
Never should have gotten involved with Manafort.
The guy was fired. Why can’t you guys state that?
I know you start low, but not this low !
Why wasn’t his door kicked in like all Trumps associates.All his emails and every god damn person he came in contact with in the WH.Should be under surveillance,Picked up and threatened. If Craig doesn’t tell the truth put him in solitary confinement. Surveil all his conversation
Why does the media insist on connecting him with Obama when he was working for Manifort? Obama fired is dirty ass in 2010! Not let go, not said go bye to him. He FIRED HIM the same why that he fired Flynn! Trump is in contact with more criminals than a prison guard!
He’ll get no cover from liberals. That’s the difference between us and the realDonaldTrump MAGAts, we’re not hypocrites
Must be fake news - there were no bad actors in the Obama administration and no scandals.
What a hit job on Obama. Why don’t you mention in your description of him that he was fired from the Obama White House before he committed these crimes?
both sides are guilty and crooked, we citizens are the Doomed, always have been
He’s also a former teenager. Why not mention that in the headline?
Working with Paul Manafort
Why does this man have to be tied to Obama in every headline? This bad behavior was two yrs after he left the WH!
You mean former Manafort associate Greg Craig.
