Looks like the reports of Tony Podesta getting immunity may have been exaggerated.

Turns out that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has just referred him along with a collection of other cases to New York federal prosecutors for potential prosecution for failing to register properly as a foreign agent, according to a breaking report from CNN.

The cases referred include Podesta and his work for the Podesta Group, as well as former Minnesota Republican Rep. Vin Weber and his work for Mercury Public Affairs, according to the report.

The report also said that the source named former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig, a former partner at law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom is also part of the inquiry.

Why they were referred to New York is not clear, as the people involved were based out of Washington, D.C.

Mueller was looking at the various people in regard to his investigation of Paul Manafort and his partner Rick Gates and their involvement in working for the Ukrainians.

We’ll have to see if it’s further confirmed by others. And referring it doesn’t mean that ultimately they will be charged, it just means that Mueller is indicating her thinks there’s something there. But could Podesta finally be having to pay the piper? And a former Obama White House counsel? Sounds very promising.

Update:

NBC is now also confirming it.
