Let's hope he filed his FARA forms. He and Manafort worked for the same pro-Putin Ukrainian candidate in 2010.

From the Politico piece:

Tad Devine

A longtime Democratic consultant, Devine worked on Al Gore’s presidential campaign in 2000 and John Kerry’s in 2004. He worked with Paul Manafort on Viktor Yanukovych’s 2010 presidential campaign, but backed away after the election, when Yanukovych began clamping down on dissent.

Internationally, Devine has worked as a strategist and media consultant for the winning campaigns of Colombian President Andres Pastrana in 1998, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak in 1999, Peruvian President Alejandro Toledo in 2001, Bolivian President Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada in 2002, Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern in 1997, 2002 and 2007, Honduran President Mel Zelaya in 2005, and Ukrainian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich and the Party of Regions in 2006. He worked again with Yanukovich in 2009 and 2010 for his successful Presidential bid. He served as a strategist and media consultant for Ashraf Ghani's 2009 presidential campaign in Afghanistan.

1. It may show a complete lack of ethics to have worked

for Yanukovych but if he did not launder the money and he filed the appropriate FARA documents... i.e. didn't break any laws... he should have nothing to worry about.

[pnwmom]

4. Right. Someone was saying tonight (Rachel, I think) that the investigation

is expanding to other people, including Democrats, who didn't file FARA documents.

So no one knows who could be swept up in this.

[Me.]

2. YES!

I've wondered how he's been able to fly under the radar all this time considering his work in Ukraine with Manafort.

Candles for Tad tonight

[Wwcd]

3. hmm hmm hmmmm. No one washes their hands of Manafort. EVER

I just want to know what he did with HRC's voter data.
Never got an answer.

Stay safe Tad.
We'll be thinking of ya!

Thanks for posting.
Wonder what Friday's news dump will be.
I've heard it involves Mercer but we'll have to wait for the real word from Mueller.
Friday has become "guess the indictment" day anymore.

I'd be nervously regretting ever knowing Paul Manafort. All I'm saying about that one.
Thanks

[Me.]

6. I Second That

"I just want to know what he did with HRC's voter data"

[Wwcd]

7. Well, someone knows. Probably Mueller. He knows everything by now.

[NurseJackie]

12. I have my suspicions. But, time will tell. I'm sure...

... there are many many surprises to be revealed. Long-simmering questions will be answered. I'm sure that some of those answers will be shocking, but for a great many more, my reaction is likely to be a cynical "I figured as much". Still we must be patient... although I'll admit that it's difficult to be patient. Still it's important that everything is done properly... so as not to hurt the spell. (So to speak.)

"But's that not what's worrying me. It's how to do it. These things must be done delicately or you hurt the spell. "

[Me.]

15. I Commend You For Your Wisdom

As for me...I'm going all out....

[Wwcd]

18. LOL.. I seem to go back & forth within days. Sometimes hrs.

Mostly I'm saying '"C'mon get em NOW!"

breathe in, hold, and breathe out

[ehrnst]

17. Yep.

[George II]

8. I seem to recall that Tad made at least one visit to Russia in the last several years.

[Wwcd]

9. Yup, A curious association isn't it, let's see now, consider that Putin's been setting up the demise

Of the US govt since around 2012.

When was Tad's visit to Russia? Wonder if his good friend Paul Manafort invited him.

About that $10 million mystery money ..perhaaps we'll soon have an answer to clear up that question

[BainsBane]

10. I though Hayes was referring to John Podesta

But he wasn’t. There is a Tony Podesta. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/30/us/politics/tony-podesta-resignation-lobbying.html

11. K&fuckingR

Fuck Tad Devine and the Russian Trojan Horse he rode in on.

[Wwcd]

20. Yup. "the trojan horse he rode in on"

This didn't just happen beginning 2015

[Me.]

16. Same Here

[The Polack MSgt]

19. I am not...

Hello and welcome

[Wwcd]

21. Re-reading this thread today

The impact of the coup is so deep.

The underhanded & aggressive way it took place is stunning.

K & R

[rockfordfile]

22. This will be interesting

[Jamaal510]

23. K&R

[NCTraveler]

24. I think the possibility of Devine and Uretsky being swept up.....

is one reason we are currently seeing the "left" double-down on such ignorant attacks. They are still in the denial phase about helping the wrong side(country).

[SunSeeker]

25. Wow

[emulatorloo]

26. I like Tad and believe he's not mixed up in this. But why aren't newshows booking him to give

his insights on working w Manafort? I bet he's got stories to tell.

[Gothmog]

27. This will be fun to watch
