Probably because this has less to do with "Russian collusion" and more to do with Soros contributing to trying to bring Russia down from within, which Podesta would know about?

"The Browder campaign to publicise the fraud and seek justice for Magnitsky has long made him a hate figure for the Kremlin. In April, a Russian state TV channel aired the fifth film-length attack on Mr Browder in three years. It claimed the US-born fund manager, now a UK citizen, was an MI6 operative codenamed Agent Solomon, who had recruited opposition leader Alexei Navalny in an operation to destroy Russia.
The film appeared a crude fake, with mistakes in basic English in “secret” CIA documents shown as evidence of its assertions. It also seemed to have been rushed out in the wake of a revelation in the Panama Papers that $2bn had passed through a network of offshore companies nominally controlled by Sergei Roldugin , a cellist friend of Mr Putin. One of the groups involved in the Panama Papers investigation later reported that some Magnitsky fraud money had passed through part of the same network."

“analysts recall that “we now have Soros behind many ‘color’ revolutions in other countries and financing in effect a semi-color revolution in US,” making a reference to the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, among others. “I don’t know if it categorizes as treason. He certainly operates from the shadows. His only legitimacy is his wallet. His only concern is to create the kind of democracy he can prop up and gain an interest from. That’s the kind of person who is behind this continuing protest against a valid, legitimate, free election.”
Billionaire globalist financier George Soros’ MoveOn.org has been revealed to be a driving force behind the organizing of nationwide protests against the election of Donald Trump — exposing the protests to largely be an organized, top-down operation — and not an organic movement of concerned Americans taking to the streets as reported by the mainstream media.”

“Manafort’s firm had a set of international clients and produced an analysis of the Orange Revolution that Yanukovych found instructive, according to one operative involved in Yanukovych’s political rehabilitation. Manafort became, in effect, a general consultant to Yanukovych’s Party of Regions, shaping big-picture messaging, coaching Yanukovych to speak in punchy, American-style sound bites and managing teams of consultants and attorneys in both Ukraine and the United States ahead of an anticipated Yanukovych comeback. While it’s difficult to track payments in foreign elections, a former associate familiar with Manafort’s earnings say they ran into the seven figures over several years.
After Yanukovych’s 2010 victory, Manafort stayed on as an adviser to the Russia-friendly president and became involved in other business projects in Eastern Europe. In 2012, then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine John Tefft told the newspaper Ukrainska Pravda that he had met with Manafort, though he declined to elaborate on the American’s role there.”
^Given that Manafort's activities were public knowledge in 2014, I'm pretty sure that the Mueller probe has very much to do with the hinky import/export loop, especially gas and cars, and the pointed object of locking out Russia and economically gutting the US. EU/NATO were excessively relevant during Crimea/Ukraine crises.

“European countries hope to match the US shale gas boom, and the energy independence it has brought. However, Europeans have shown much more political dissents towards fracking, and already, Chevron has pulled out of shale exploration deals in Lithuania and Romania.
Ukraine sees shale gas as a win-win: they can both cut costs and move away from Russian gas.”
