Dude, you need to post where the originating article is from. I'm seeing you post Yahoo and MSN like dumbfuck right wingers do. If we're gonna bitch about them doing it (because they intentionally try to obfuscate the real source and linking to shitty right wing sites, we need to follow that ourselves). They are news aggregators and are rarely the actual originating source of the articles. In this instance its Salon.
This is small potatoes. He's getting charged because he lied about knowing about the Russian oligarch he was working for having a similar network elsewhere. He'll get a small slap on the wrist and it won't matter and he'll probably use this to brag about and get more work doing the same for other right wing fascists.
