  1. In summer 2008, during the presidential campaign, Obama decided to support legislation (specifically, an amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) to granting legal immunity to telecommunications companies that cooperated with the Bush administration's warrantless NSA wiretapping program. In his role as an advisor to the Obama campaign, Craig defended Obama's reversal, and said that Obama "concluded that with FISA expiring, that it was better to get a compromise than letting the law expire."[24] This was incorrect, as FISA has no expiration date.

  2. In late summer and fall 2008, Craig, a skilled trial lawyer, assumed the role of John McCain in Barack's preparations for the presidential debates.

  3. Gregory Craig is an American lawyer and former White House Counsel under President Barack Obama from 2009 to 2010.

  4. Craig's ouster following the "whisper campaign" against him angered his friends and supporters inside and outside the White House, who viewed him as a scapegoat. Obama's handling of Craig's resignation was also criticized in the media. Steve Clemons called it "the assassination of Greg Craig" and said that "the White House counsel was done in by a scurrilous leaks campaign."

  5. In 2011, Craig initially represented former Senator John Edwards, a former presidential and vice presidential candidate, in the federal prosecution of Edwards on charges of illegally using campaign funds to cover up his affair with Rielle Hunter.[40][41] Edwards was subsequently acquitted

  6. Later in 2018, NBC and CNN reported that following a referral from Mueller's office, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York was investigating Craig and others, including ex-lobbyist Tony Podesta and former Republican U.S. Representative Vin Weber, as part of a broader investigation into the activities of Paul Manafort.

  7. He was indicted in 2019 on charges of lying to federal prosecutors about the business work he did in Ukraine with Paul Manafort.

This guy may know where more bodies are buried than LTG Flynn.

I don't think it's any coincidence that every anthill we've kicked in here for the last week or two seems to be full of ants yelling "Ukraine". Certainly not Greg Craig.

Take a look at Craig's history, even just the basics from Wikipedia. One event after another, the patterns & ideology forming.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_B._Craig

Father was Navy WWII, then a college admin in Vermont

Greg went to Phillips Exeter Academy, then Harvard '67

Senior thesis was on Upton Sinclair (eyeroll goes here)

At Harvard, became acquainted with Henry Kissinger

"During this period, Craig registered black voters in Mississippi, tutored children in Harlem and "became Harvard's most widely quoted student leader in opposition to the Vietnam War.""

What a dutiful little rich-boy-hippie.

Got medical deferment from Vietnam with shoulder injury

Won a fellowship to study history at Cambridge, earned masters 1968

Returned to be in the SAME CLASS at Yale Law with Bill and Hillary

Sublet his New Haven apartment to Bill and Hillary for $75/month in 1971

"Craig worked in the White House during the Clinton administration from 1998 to 1999, holding the title of assistant to the President and special counsel. Craig's old friend and law partner Kendall was Clinton's personal attorney. Craig was brought on specifically to coordinate the White House's defense of Clinton during impeachment proceedings against him. Termed the "quarterback" by Clinton, Craig worked from the West Wing and oversaw legal, political, congressional, and public relations aspects of the defense, reporting regularly to President Clinton and consulting with John Podesta, the White House chief of staff. However, Craig claimed in an interview with PBS Frontline in July 2000 that Podesta was the one who recruited him and that Podesta told him that the White House needed a "coordinator quarterback."

During the Elián González affair in 2000, Craig represented Juan Miguel Gonzáles, the Cuban father of six-year-old Elián González, in an international child custody dispute involving "the volatile field of Cuban-American relations" which ended with the boy's return to Cuba.

OMG fucking Noriega?!?!?! He represented Noriega?

"Other high-profile clients represented by Craig while at Williams & Connolly include Richard Helms, the ex-director of Central Intelligence who was convicted of lying to Congress over the CIA's role in removing Salvador Allende; UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan; and Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega. He reported earning a salary of $1.7 million from the firm in 2008."

Hang on, GREG CRAIG was the reason Obama ran?

"Craig met Barack and Michelle Obama for the first time in 2003, at the home of Vernon Jordan, a close friend of the Clintons, and the then-Illinois state senator impressed Craig.[4][21] Despite close ties to the Clintons, Craig urged Obama to run for president, and became an informal foreign-policy adviser to him."

Well, well. Have we found the lighter and kindling who started the FISA fire?

"In summer 2008, during the presidential campaign, Obama decided to support legislation (specifically, an amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) to granting legal immunity to telecommunications companies that cooperated with the Bush administration's warrantless NSA wiretapping program. This angered many Democrats, because it was a reversal of Obama's earlier vow during the primary campaign to oppose such legislation and to filibuster against it. In his role as an advisor to the Obama campaign, Craig defended Obama's reversal, and said that Obama "concluded that with FISA expiring, that it was better to get a compromise than letting the law expire." This was incorrect, as FISA has no expiration date; journalist Glenn Greenwald sharply criticized Craig for the "flat-out false" statement."

Coached Obama for the presidential debates, playing part of John McCain

My conclusion: Greg Craig is as establishment Swamp Cabal as they come. Literally all he's ever known in his life.
