"new york times" reports, "the trial exposed in detail how a foreign government was able to harness washington's industry of lawyers, lobbyist and public relations experts, an unflattering portrait that included at least $4 million in secret offshore bank transfers from a ukrainian oligarch to mr. craig's law firm. but mr. craig's guilt or innocence turned on the question of whether he deliberately misled justice department officials who were investigating whether he should register as a foreign agent." our friends at the "times" also point out today's verdict was a blow to the doj's effort to more aggressively crack down on foreign influence in washington. we're lucky to have with us tonight for more chuck rosenberg, former u.s. attorney, former senior fbi official, and michael schmidt, pulitzer prize-winning washington correspondent for the "new york times." so chuck, let's not mince words. mueller spins this off. it's clear he and his folks want to see this prosecuted. though isn't this a tough one to prosecute?
