Yeah, I think it’s a way outside chance too.
The Podesta Group did file with Congress about their activities and then reclassified the filing (with the DOJ) when the root source of the funding was revealed, as far as I can tell.
Manafort, on the other hand, didn’t disclose at all. And Flynn, though he did file with Congress, was taking payment from and working directly towards Turkey’s governmental agenda. There’s no way he didn’t know he was lobbying for a foreign government, in my opinion.
I think it’s clear that Manafort and Flynn have much greater legal exposure than the Podestas. But, who (aside from the grand jury) knows what Mueller’s team has dug up? We’ll see.
