Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, supposedly into collusion between President Trump's election campaign and Russia, is casting light into dark corners of the Washington swamp where powerful political figures become highly paid agents of foreign governments.
The prominent Americans Mueller has indicted are all foreign agents.
We learned last week that Mueller referred a handful of American lobbyists and consultants to federal prosecutors in New York for violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Tony Podesta, a former Democratic congressional staffer and hugely successful lobbyist and fundraiser is also said to be among those sent by Mueller to New York prosecutors.
Flynn monetized his military service by putting his name and his rank to work for foreign governments including Turkey and Ukraine.
Manafort pretended to work for Trump when in truth he was serving the foreign governments who were the clients.
Every revolving-door lawmaker-turned-lobbyist should get the message that if he comes knocking on behalf of some foreign potentate, he'll get the curb.
