The special counsel’s move against Podesta cuts both ways for Trump. On the one hand, he could use the news to bolster his claim that Democrats are also involved in the Russia mess. On the other, the targeting of a high-profile Democratic fund-raiser undercuts Trump’s characterization of the Justice Department investigation as a “witch hunt” orchestrated by his political enemies. Until now, Mueller’s prosecution of Republicans provided Trump with a potent talking point. The Podesta case may take it away.
