News services report that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is now investigating Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta for possible failure to register as a foreign agent. (See https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mueller-now-investigating-democratic-lobbyist-tony-podesta-n812776.) This isn't good news for Donald Trump.
Democrats might be embarrassed or concerned by this new development, because Tony Podesta is the older brother of John Podesta, the manager of Hillary Clinton's recent presidential campaign. But it's also bad news for President Trump and other Republicans caught up in Mueller's investigation. By including a Democrat within his purview, Mueller undermines any contention that he is politically biased and demonstrates his neutrality. That strengthens his credibility, whether he eventually seeks charges against Republicans, Democrats or both. Republicans feeling any satisfaction from the news of Mueller's investigation of Tony Podesta need to rethink things.
