Manafort, Gates charged with conspiracy against US

[Walter]

Hi! Walter

I don't know what Frank Rich has to do with the views that I posted.

Was Frank Rich asked to testify anywhere after his pardon? If so, did he refuse?

Mark Rich.

Uh-oh! Walter's on! Reddies all around to show us the error of our ways!

Manafort had to refute Gates, who admitted they broke the law together.

Trump will need to do the same with Cohen.

So what happened to the Russian Collusion thingy?

Still a big nothing burger eh?


*snicker*

This is sort of like all that B.S. Ken Star pulled with the jizzy dress to impeach Clinton. They'll keep digging and Trump, who isn't that bright, leaves all his skeletons in shallow graves.

Trump sought his lawyers�� advice weeks ago on possibility of pardoning Manafort but they counseled against it, Giuliani says

President Trump sought his lawyers�� advice several weeks ago on the possibility of pardoning Manafort, Trump attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani said Thursday. The subject of the pardon came up while Manafort was on trial on multiple charges of bank fraud and tax evasion, and the president was expressing his anger at how federal prosecutors had ��beat up�� and mistreated the former Trump campaign manager, Giuliani said. The president's lawyers counseled him against the idea, suggesting he should wait until special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's investigation was concluded, and Trump agreed.

Paul Manafort’s been having a rough week.

On Tuesday,*he was convicted*of eight separate counts of tax and bank fraud, facing potentially decades in prison. Then, on Wednesday, a Russian media report revealed that Manafort had spent time working with a now-sanctioned Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, to further Moscow’s interests in Central Asia — namely, by getting the U.S. booted from the final military base Washington had in the region.

Paul Manafort convicted of tax and bank fraud

The*report, in*Project, fleshed out details of a relatively unknown chapter of Manafort’s life: what happened after his employer, former Ukrainian strongman Viktor Yanukovych, failed to land the presidency following Ukraine’s 2004-05 Orange Revolution. According to journalists Maria Zholobova and Roman Badanin, Manafort landed on his feet by working closely with both Deripaska and Konstantin Kilimnik, a colleague whom Special Counsel Robert Mueller*recently said*was an active Russian intelligence source throughout the 2016 campaign.

While Manafort and Kilimnik worked closely in Ukraine, rehabilitating Yanukovych’s image — and eventually helping Yankuovych win the 2010 presidential election, a few years before he was ousted in the 2013-14 EuroMaidan Revolution — it turns out they had another project on behalf of Deripaska: Kyrgyzstan.*Specifically, getting close to Kyrgyzstan’s ruling Bakiyev family — and even pushing to evict the American military from the Manas Base, which served as a logistical hub for American operations in Afghanistan.*
