The news earlier this week wasn't greeted with much fanfare: Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III had referred the cases of potential foreign lobbying violations by Tony Podesta, Vin Weber and Gregory Craig to the Southern District of New York. Despite these cases arising out of his Russia investigation — which makes them fair game for Mueller — he decided not to deal with them personally. And that made sense, given that they don't appear to have much to do with Russian interference in the 2016 election.
But that also may be the very important point — especially with regard to the just-begun Paul Manafort trial.
