Haiti and Panama Papers...
Former Secretary of State and Democratic 2016 Presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton condemned “outrageous tax havens and loopholes ... in Panama and elsewhere” at a Pennsylvania AFL–CIO event. Clinton added that “some of this behavior is clearly against the law, and everyone who violates the law anywhere should be held accountable”, but it was “scandalous how much is actually legal”. Clinton promised that “We are going after all these scams and make sure everyone pays their fair share here in America.”
“scandalous how much is actually legal”
Think I just said that.
Manafort may be on the edges of laws, but there’s a lot that is legal about how you can benefit from foreign corporations.
The entire Cayman / Bahamian / Panamanian economies are built on that.
Methinks Mr. Mueller makes big noise and smoke over not a lotta fire.
Prediction: Manafort pleads to a few reporting misdeeds back in 2012 and walks with a fine.
