Story you might have missed over at Politico. Special Counsel Robert Mueller quietly shifted Kyle Feeney from the “Wolf of Wall Street” case and brought him onto the team investigating all things Russia and Trumpian.
Feeney had been spearheading the US Gov’s attempt to seize the prfts from the Wolf of Wall Street’s production company, because, they claim, the movie was funded with dirty money looted from the Malaysian Government.
Now is there any tie in between Feeney’s prior engagement and the current Mueller investigation? Apparently so. He’s been working for the same unit that’s been investigating Paul Manafort.
Aside from loving the name — Kleptocracy Asset Recovery this can’t be good news everyone’s favorite Kleptocrat-maniac, Paul Manifort. And, if Mueller’s bringing in the Department’s heaviest guns it may signal that we’re getting to the prosecution strategy phase rather than the evidence gathering one. Don’t run short on popcorn as this heats up.
