Legal commentators & legal professors in the US.
However, both brothers founded the group, Tony Podesta left the firm as of yesterday due to close scrutiny due to the revelations of the firm and the DNC paying millions for the Trump Russian Dossier. Which it is being said is a potential crime, felony.
Tony doesn’t want the firm to fight the revelations, he wants to do that as individual, to which he will be a bit late, if a prosecutor is assigned, they will sift through everything with the Podesta name on it. Walking away from the firm, does not mean automatic immunity to them.

I don’t believe he will be. He pleaded guilty to telling porkies to the FBI about having Russian links. Papa, tried to setup meetings with these Russians and Trump several times, but Manafort told him no.
Clearly Mueller has nothing credible on Trump collusion, else why go through with now trying to leverage Manafort with these charges, in a bid to do a deal to get Manafort to talk on what he knows, if there is actually something to talk about?
