WASHINGTON—The indictment of former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig on charges related to foreign work marks a stunning turn in a legal career that has spanned decades and drew shocked responses from his former law partners and colleagues.

And he got fired by Obama.

So it wasn’t a witch hunt? Or maybe Trump will pardon the guy?

biy2c ...what kind of a foreign work..and in which foreign country...?

About time equal justice

His connection was through Manafort. Nice job at trying to make Obama seem murky.

Just the beginning for the so-called untouchables!

The obama Democratic crime family is startling to fall apart

His connection his manafort. Nice try at making sound like obama made it murky.

Crickets on this guy in MSM - another story that doesn’t fit their false narrative!

The Ukraine connection finally getting light shined on it, where the Dems honed their Russian scheme, Bidens family made millions from Russian backed Ukrainian company that Bidens son sat on the board of and that Biden personally derailed an investigation into that Co.. Podestas?

Mainstream media is corrupt and disgusting. No surprise, they have no interest in talking about this......👎🏻

No one has anything to say about the fact his name is GREG CRAIG? That’s classic!

He was fired from the Obama administration in 2010, print the truth not this bs

Is this the beginning of the end of the obama and clinton legacies?

The indictment teaches two things: 1) Mueller is a bipartisan indicter. You still want to call it a witch hunt? Call it a BI-partisan witch hunt. 2) We haven't seen the last of the indictments based upon his investigation.

The walls are closing in around obama and clinton.

Have the Podestas fled the country yet? How about an early morning raid at both of thei houses with 30 to 40 agents with guns drawn.

Poor guy. This Mueller investigation is starting to turn into a witch hunt. I knew we couldnt trust Mueller. He's a Republican.

Jail for him. Sad.
