Why not go after ALL the crooks?

"Washington (CNN)A former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser has pleaded guilty to making a false statement to the FBI after he lied about his interactions with foreign officials close to the Russian government.
"In court records unsealed on Monday, the FBI said George Papadopoulos 'falsely described his interactions with a certain foreign contact who discussed 'dirt' related to emails' concerning Hillary Clinton."
Normally, politicians like Clinton do their best to shelter crony-capitalists like Trump from their day in court; why not prosecute both sets of parasites to the full extent of the law?

The FBI doesn't go after Republicans or Democrats. They go after criminals.

Five things to know about the Manafort indictment (Link)
Manafort was secretly lobbying for a pro-Russia political party in Ukraine
Manafort allegedly used offshore accounts to launder money from his foreign lobbying.
'Conspiracy against the U.S.' is among the 12 charges Manafort faces.
But the charge, as with the others laid out in the indictment, is related to their financial dealings, particularly the work that Manafort and Gates did overseas on behalf of a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine and their effort to launder money and evade taxes.
The charge does not constitute an accusation of “collusion” with a foreign power and is not related to work either party did for the Trump campaign.
Manafort lived a lavish lifestyle.
There is no mention of the Trump campaign in the indictment.

Democratic power lobbyist Tony Podesta, founder of the Podesta Group, is stepping down from the firm that bears his name after coming under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller.
Podesta announced his decision during a firm-wide meeting Monday morning and is alerting clients of his impending departure......
......The investigation into Podesta and his firm grew out of investigators’ examination of Manafort’s finances. Manafort organized a PR campaign on behalf of a nonprofit called the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine. Podesta Group was one of several firms that were paid to do work on the PR campaign to promote Ukraine in the U.S.
Podesta Group filed paperwork with the Justice Department in April stating that it had done work for the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine that also benefited the same Ukrainian political party that Manafort once advised. Podesta Group said at the time it believed its client was a European think tank untethered to a political party.....
......Podesta Group has struggled in the wake of the Mueller investigation. More than a dozen of its lobbying clients have cut ties with the firm this year, according to lobbying filings. Revenues have also declined: The firm brought in an estimated $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, down from $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2017 and from $6.1 million in the third quarter of 2016.

It appears to have hit him in the pocketbook, if nothing else.
