"The Podesta Group fully disclosed its representation of the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine and complied with federal disclosure laws “by filing under the lobbying disclosure act over five years ago,” said Molly Levinson, a spokeswoman for the firm, in a statement. “The Podesta Group has fully cooperated with the Special Counsel’s office and taken every possible step to provide documentation that confirms compliance with the law. Based on our due diligence and on the recommendation of definitive legal experts, the firm filed the appropriate public disclosures of its representation of the ECFMU over five years ago, and in eight subsequent public filings. The Podesta Group’s work for ECFMU, a nonprofit, was in support of Ukraine’s admission to the E.U., a position supported by foreign policy experts at the time. The ECFMU provided formal certification that it was neither funded by nor directed by a government or political party.” "
At least they kept it within applicable laws, or so it seems.
But again, all those fat cats are what ails Washington.
