I thought Mueller was highly ethical? Why the flood of leaks all of a sudden? U.S. intelligence leaking dirt on Sessions also.
...but it makes them feel good.
Fakest of fake news.
“as a means to hide the origin of funds gained illegally.”
Wow, i know a lot of possible/potential/maybe criminals.
Maybe time to after Soros on Ukraine Politics.
Lawyers for manafort and Jr have secured private meetings next week..not public hearings
Another "iffa, coulda', woulda', shoulda'.....but didn't happen" effort by Reuters.
People see right through this trash.
Manafort also bought over the counter allergy medication.
People who make meth buy OTC allergy meds.
This could possibly maybe go much deeper than we possibly imagined!
A former senior U.S. law enforcement official said that tactic is often used as a means to hide the origin of funds gained illegally. Reuters has no independent evidence that Manafort did this.
...
Gosh. Is there any other reason a person might do this? If there is I’m sure Reuters won’t report it.
2006-2013 ? what does that have to do with anything ?
> “Between 2006 and 2013, Manafort bought three New York properties, including one in Trump Tower in Manhattan. He paid for them in full and later took out mortgages against them.

Of 10,000 things of import that dufus writers Ainsley and Walcott could report on, they choose to promote a headline that that continues a line of commie agitprop Russian-Trump collusion nonsense.
Breaking it down:
“Between 2006 and 2013, Manafort bought three New York properties, including one in Trump Tower in Manhattan. He paid for them in full and later took out mortgages against them.”
Yeah, it’s called taking out mortgages for the tax writeoffs.
“A former senior U.S. law enforcement official said that tactic is often used as a means to hide the origin of funds gained illegally.”
Really? Well, I guess that means millions of homeowners and real estate investors across America should be rounded up and frog-marched in a display of public shaming.
“Reuters has no independent evidence that Manafort did this.”
Yeah? Then why report it?
How does the MSM know every move of Mueller and his Clinton Team ?
In AML (anti-money laundering) terms IIRC that's called Integration.
Now there's nothing illegal about paying cash for property. I've done it. What raises eyebrows is if there's no traceability as to where that cash came from in the first place.
If Manafort doesn't have a good explanation as to where the money came from or can point to a source of revenue that enabled him to pay cash for the property I'm guessing Mueller will look to nail his ass to the wall.
So Reuters is just reporting baseless allegations as “news”.
The Left SOP.
How about this wild theory. “Let’s keep poking Trump and his team with such outlandish accusations that he will eventually lash out with a clearly illegal retaliation! Then we have got him.”
The liberal inquisition continues if you have no facts just make some up media winks.
If you dig into anyone’s finances at that level, you may find some things you could re-frame as criminal if you wanted to.
If you limit your investigations to people you want to get, and refuse to investigate people on your side, you accomplish two things. You punish or frighten your enemies into submission, and you make your friends entirely dependent upon your good graces.
I have a feeling there are few people at the top levels of government who aren’t already bribed and blackmailed into conformity. The ones who aren’t, who become a threat, you’re on the list. They’ll be getting to you presently.
Day dreamers
I once took out a mortgage on some property that I originally paid cash for. I also voted for Trump. Does this mean that Mueller will be after me?
The campaign began in June 2015.
